TENTH YEAR PASSES

May nth marked the first decade Of school
integYation brought about by the United States
SUPREME Courts historic ruling. This 2uI1ng
stated that schools could be no longer admin
isteYed as separate schools for only Negroes.
The Supreme Court de cisiOn WuS to be toI-
loVed with deliberate speed. In many areas
the speed has been almost a smails pace. In
some areas where q fen all Negro schools
sOeYe permanently closed, indignation came
more swiftly.
School desegyegatiOn or school segyega-
tion in other areas outside Of the Deep South
are caused by school boundaries and housing
areas. De tacto segregation wiu continue as
long as housing patterns remain the same.
Movements in urban areas to change the
school boundaries has caused more legal
battles and the np0ving Of children by busseS
to areas far from their homes mil cause
bitter scenes.
Within the next ten years there aOiH be a
greater per cent Of Negro pupils attending
schools with Caucasian ones. The next ten
years should see similar changes in housing
patterns, too.
De tacto segregation is caused by number
of things and aOkile 1T would be unre0hStic TO
saw complete school Indignation Mould EXIST
de tacto segregation is caused by more things
than dYaaOiNgS on a map.
Let us work TOWARD not only greater school
imtegyation, but TOWARD greater use Of school
OPPORTUNITIES which are already open to us.

NEGRO PAPER

YONKERS, N. Y. : The US.
Government, through the National
Park Service has been requested
by Educational Heritage, Inc. a
Yonkers. New York publishing
firm. to place a historical mark
er at the site where the first
Negro newspaper. Freedom
Journal was published in 1927.
Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, Herr
tage. vice president, in letter
to Secretary Of the Interior, Stew
art Udall. asked that the Varick
Street, Manhattan be given gov
eminent recognition in tribute
to its "significance in the devel-
opment of the total American ex-
perience."
Rev. Walker, former executive
assistant to DR.. Martin Luther
King, Jr., said in his letter to
Mr.. Udall that the Negro press
and its ally the Negro church had
been a maj or force in shaping the
Nations destiny. Both institu-
tions, he wrote have additionally
taken leadership role wherever
Negroes have made any mea-
surable social gains" Recogni-
ton of this kind would become
"an effective catalyst in broden-
ing Americas knowledge about
America" he concluded.
The request to the Interior
Department head, came as part
of Mr.. Walkers suggestion to
the National Park Service that the
proposed Ellis Island. New York,
cultural site, include adequate
and we'll planned recognition of
the Negroes to Americas heri-
tage. Hitting at what he termed
the cultural blackout," now i'm
posed on Negroes, the publishing
acknowledgement, expressed
the hope that accurate portrayal
in Americas history texts was
essential in lifting a curtain of
historical untruths.''

BILL SUPPORTED

In view Of the great response to the public
hearing held Monday night at the city council
chambers, there should be little doubt con-
corning support of the proposed city ordi-
nance banning discrimination in places of
public accommodation.
The appearance Of such large group fav-
oring the measure indicates that local atti-
tudes will accept such a law. There should be
no hesitation now on the part of the city coun-
Gil to enact the measure.
Passage of the anti discrimination meas
ure would be a step in the right direction
which might include similar measures in city
employment practices.
1t is good sign that the people Of Phoenix
areproving that they are willing to cooperate
with the city commission on human relations
to implement ways Of improving race re-
latiOnS in our area.

CLOTURE VOTE WINS

The cloture vote won in the United States
Senate Wednesday morning. This rule will end
the filibuster techniques SO long used by the
SOlons to circumvent bills.
This marks the greatest hurdle which the
proposed civil rights measure had to face in
it's long route through our governments maze
Of lawmaking.
There should be little to hinder the early
passage of the measure which has won strong
support in Congress. The bill is heralded as
the greatest single measure since the end Of
the Civil War to aid in the enjoyment of full
citizenship rights by all minority groups.
All groups, including civic, fraternal and
church bodies should make concerted effort
to write or telegram the congressman from
their respective areas and instruct them to
support the federal civil rights measure.

H Umor Week

Humor Week by proclamation
of the gag writer's, comic book
writer's, cartoOniStS and funny
men all over the country.
1t depends on your view how
funny this week has been or can
be. To make a parody on the
sometimes humorous televisiOn
show THAT Was the Week That
Was. It shows promise of be-
coming either a very good pro-
gram or turning into the worlds
worst television vehicle of the
year.
Familiar phrases such as
Hey, have you heard this One?@
and SPsst. come here let me tell
you a funny story, are mouthed
by young and old from Maine
to Hawaii.
Joke writer's have garnered a
niche in our culture and there
are collections of time worn
fables of Aesop to the latest
edition of the Joe Miller group.
Nothing can ever take the place
of a funny story. There may be
many different types of tranquil
izers placed on the market, but
none can replace the pleasure of
humorous tale or cartoon.
In my early childhood can
recall some Of the funny things
that my Grandfather Harry, bet
ter known as Racker, would tell.
He always had ears for funny
ones and he kept us rolling with
some which he brought home.
When he felt like shocking us
he would say, 4Watch out, this
one is a bit sooty." Racker was
full of stories that he picked
up form the men at the coke
and gas plant and later on the
city street cleaning truck. His
job at the coal yard as night
Waterman provided him with
many sad stories as we'll, during
the depression years.
The greatest clowns seem to
have a bit of pathos in them.
Recall, the wistful appearance Of
Charlie Chaplin, the wry wit of
Joe Penner and the elflike CLEAN
of Ed Wynn.
Emmett Kelly, perhaps, one Of
the greatest modern day circus
clowns, was habitually Oh the
verge of tears.
Even Red Skeletons characters
bring a comic relief when the
situations are not funny.
Jackie GleaSon's Poor Soul
character brings a heart pulling
smile when he becomes involved
in some incidents.
The masks of the theaters
which display tragedy and comedy
are closer related than one
imagines. Some sad events are
really funny, but we have been
trained to see most of the heart
break.
What makes you smile, may
on the other hand, make someone
else weep. There is an old Per-
sian proverb which says if joy
comes in the door, watch out
because sorrow is under the
bed.
AS this week ends, remember
that a bit of humor keeps one
not only happier looking, but it
improves your mind. Once Tread
that it takes more facial muscles
to frOWn than it does to laugh.
Unfortunately today many CO.
medians especially on the night
club circuit feel that humOr must
be off color or really dirty.
sometimes this philosophy
reaches into our radio and tele-
