However, when you realize that Negroes have been fighting for equality in sep arate school for mere than eighty years and have not obtained a semblance of equality, a question as to which is the easier method is not the question before us, and I have little faith in opportunists who look for the easy way out. There is no easy answer to seg regation and discrimination. We have to decide whether we want separate schools or the end of seg regation. "It should be pointed out that the NAACP and its legal staff can 'moVes no faster than the poeple themselves and no suits are filed until after we have been requested to do so by the aggriev ed parties. Perhaps one of the reasons more action has not been taken in educational cases in Tex as has been that the NAACP has not been requested to act in more caess. “Mr. Wesley then asks the ques tion: ‘Isn’t it true that separation in the South is used primarily to discriminate against Negroes?’ I did’nt know that was a question anymore in anyone# mind. The reason that we are fighting again segregation is because segregation and discrimination are so tied up together that you can’t tell one from the other. "And hen Mr. Wesley asks the question as to whether or not we could not proceed by enforcing the Constitution of the southern states instead «f proceeding un der the Un‘ted States Constitu tion. The answer to this is that the record will show that on the one hand, nothing is gained under the Constitution of southern states and that of the legal benefits we have obtained for Negroes in the South have been through the use of the Federal Constitution.-’ VIN.YE’ETES—Jackie Robinson may take Joe Louis's lead and be come a movin’ pitcher star—and that boy looks lil^ one—ran in. to Thelma Carpenter and learned that she’s going into the N.

Lewis is 28 years eld and the only Negro member of a BBC mixedquartet, the Ebony feature says, well-liked by radio audi ences as well as by the white male and female singers in the combination. Engaged ti a boy hood sweetheart in Jamaica, he has made 14 recordings that are currently leading the hit parade in England and in the West Indies The crooner dislikes his “Bing Crosby of Britain ’ title which ad I miring fans of all races have given him because of his style that closely resembles that of , “The Groaner.” And he is now | embarking on a campaign to make a name on his own. How ever, the Ebony story reveals that his recording of a Bing Crisby favorite “The Bells Of St. Mary’s’ has reached the accepted high in England. i Lewis came to England as an unskilled war worker in 1940. In j eluded in factory broadcasts be cause of his rich voice, Geraldo, a white orchestra leader signed Archie up as vocalist with his band and the singing Jamaican has climbed continually higher ever since. His plans for this fall include a trip to the U. S. in an 1 effort to land broadcast work | here. This Week BY H. W. SMITH i James M.

Dee Bebop. Dizzy’s bebop is another leg in the long journey from the New Orleans folk music called jazz. Jazz, like any other music worthy t of the name, changes with the impact of new personalities, new ideas. Its mutations tend toward an intellectual and finished form as opposed to the sensuous ap peal of the more primitiVg jazz. "Bebop has had a greater effect on musicians than any jazz inno vation since Kid Ory decided to leave the tail gate open and ex ercise his elbow more.’* Gillespie, delcares the Esquire piece, is the outstanding exponent of this bebop form. As ‘‘leader of this new Revolution,” he ‘‘holds in his hands a shiny trumpet—in stead of a bomb—and the Revo lution is largely what conies out of that trumpet, ” for th# Diz i plays the trumpet like nobody ever played before. Born John Birks Gillespie, the Negro boy hails from Cheraw, i South Carolina. His father was a brick-mason, who, as a hooby, had a band of his own. He owned the instruments and kept them around the house. Dizzy grew up surroanded by piano, guitar and bass fiddle—but no trumpet. He started off on the piano but learn ed trumpet on a borrowed instru ment. Just twelve short years ago he played his first big-time en gagement with Charlie Shavers. By the time the Diz was four teen, hg was fronting his own high-school combi. He played brief stints with Calloway. Ellington, Barnett, Hines and Elia Fitz gerald. and at nineteen became the rage of England and France, which he toured with Teddy Hill's band. After returning to this coun try he realized that fhere was much more in music than the people were getting, he develop ed his bebop style in a Harlem club called Minton's Little by little bebop became a national fad j and madg a name for itself and its chief exponent. j Although today Dizzy Gillespie | has been elevated to a place be- j side Bunk Johnson and Arm strong, selling bebop to the public has been a rather rough proposi tion. As late as July, 1946, recalls the October Esquire article. Gill, espielaid an egg inf Detroit. But in that same city last February they had to call out the police and fire brigades to control the I crowds assaulting the theater to ’ buy tickets to hear The Diz And The Bebop. bnerisu' Mot Packing From a humble beginning SOS rear* ago, meat packing has grown 1o become one of the nation’s larg ;st industries.

Hollywood By Vin Archer Now that “Sepia Cinderella’’ has made its formal debut at khe New York Apollo Theatre, the boys up at Herald Pictures can wipe that worried look off their faces. For a time when "Cinderella’’ was be ing filmed, it looked like the piq£. ure would never be complete. A. side from the usual headaches that come during a film produc. tion, Sheila Guyse. who is Cind erella herself, announced that she was "expecting”. Married to the noted Shelby Miller, Sheila had kept the maternal news quiet. So Jack Goldberg, prexy of Her aid Pictures, grabbed the scrip, writers and directors and worekd up an emergency 'rush-order’ soript—in fact the "Sepia Cind erella" set looked like the night shift at Lockeed for a while—so, now. "Cinderella" has been assur ed of a long successful run, and the Shelby Millers and baby Shei la Ann, who is blissfully una ware of her role in the film, are taking it easy at their Brooklyn home.

When it returns to Dallas on Sept. 22, it will be singing a concert in the city which contributed one of the greatest triumphs of the career of the celebrated choral ensemble. Last year, the huge audience at Fair Park Auditqrium included the largest white audience ever to attend a similar event in Dallas. The date was without local spon sorship and had the support of the various denominational and racial churches and organizations. Rev. Glynn T. Settle, originator and director of Wings Over Jor dan. will continue to give the weekly itinerary of the choir every Sunday during the coast-to coast radio network broadcast over the facilities of the Columbia Broadcasting System at 11:45a.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Wings Over Jordan will play a series of dates throughout the mid-west at he conclusion of the Texas tour. However, they will re turn to Texas in November to ap. Pear in o special concert with the San Symphony Orchestra. The vitality and spontaneity of the choir, which has recently been more obvious to radio and concert audiences, is not without reason. Several of the original membsre of the choir, including the very popular Oilve Thompson, have recently been returned to the organization. uq pMaujuq u q || MtMuoH -topdftnu "°00 jj?
