We will petition these school boards, one by one, offering our cooperation of support in any good faith move toward desegrega tion. We will make every effort under the sun to cooperate with these school boards. But if we find that a school board is either de termined to continue to violate the law of the land by maintaining segregated schools or in procrastinating with the use of sugar-coated words, plans and prolonged studies, we will then be forced to resort to the courts to compel compliance with the law of the land. ; The record of voluntary desegregation of public schools extend ing in areas from Missouri and Delaware down as far as El Paso, Texas, and several towns in Oklahoma and Arkansas shows conclu sively that segregation can be abolished in public education in the South as well as in the border states. The only thing necessary is the will to act on the part of responsible school officials. It is our job to give to these officials the will to act, one way or the other. We will first seek to do this through negotiation, conference and all of the help we can give. Failing in this, we will have to “educate” them through legal action in the courts. On the other side of the picture, we have the rock-ribbed segre gationists, the white supremacists and the like, who are dedicated to delaying desegregation as long as they can. They intend to use every means, lawful and unlawful, to prevent the inevitable. They will use every delaying tactic known to the law and many unknown to the law to delay final judgment in the cases we will have to file in many areas of the South. They will also give aid and comfort, as well as support to the un-American organizations dedicated to white supremacy who are no more or no less than revised, revamped and re named groups of the old Ku Klux Klan. These groups with the sup port of state officials will use every economic pressure possible a gainst Negroes who insist on being full Americans. They will use this pressure against laboring men as well as the professional men such as doctors, businessmen and lawyers. Typical of this is what , has been happening in Mississippi. An example of how far this ac tion goes is also in Mississippi where white supremacist organizations after unsuccessfully trying the economic squeeze on local Negroes then resorted to the typical brutality as exemplified by the killing of Rev. G. W. Lee in Belzoni, Mississippi, some weeks ago. We find that the State of Louisiana has made available $100,000 to hire lawyers, do research and oppose whatever cases we file to destroy desegregation in Louisiana. The Attorney General of Ala bama has added four men to his staff for the same purpose. That state also has under consideration a bill which would require the NAACP or any group fighting the state’s segregation laws to register and receive a certificate from the state before being allowed to solicit memberships and funds. This is an attempt to curb our sup port in Alabama. Attorney General Eugene Cook of Georgia has pro posed a State Board of Education regulation to bar from the public schools teachers who join or support the NAACP. Already the Geor gia board adopted a rule to revoke the license of any person who teaches mixed classes . No doubt other states will attempt similar measures. It possibly could have been expected that the entire South would take its de feat in sportsmanlike manner in the true American tradition. It could have been expected that once the law of the land was made clear the entire South would fall in line. Yet you and I and and the world know that while the people of the South are as law abiding as any other Americans, governmental officials in many areas of the South have defied whatever law was deemed by them to be bad and they have constantly and repeatedly set themselves as over and above the law of man and even the law of God. Our country has always ben able to deal with such challenges and there is no doubt it can deal with these latest ones. News From Around Nebraska The city of Aurora is advertising in the News-Register for bids on paving, storm sewers, and other items in 13 street im provement projects. The engineer’s estimated cost of the entire project is $112,365. * * * The Madison Star announces the dedication last Sunday of the new municipal swimming pool, with proper ceremonies con ducted by the mayor and chairman of the park committee.

The board of di rectors of the Cornhusker Weather Modification Association met and voted unanimously to try to raise the balance of $25,000 need ed to initiate such a project. More than $12,000 was raised in Boone County in May, but the project waned when more than 9 inches of rain fell between mid-May and the end of June. * * * Eleven young people in Boone County had been struck by polio up to press time last week, according to the Albion News. The public health service had plans to send an expert to Albion to study the probable cause of such an epidemic. Worshippers at the Assembly of God Church at Neligh have been busy getting their new house of worship ready for occu pancy.

The Cedar County News frorq Hartington reports the immensity of the earth moving equipment to be used, and goes into detail in describing just how much the mammoth project will be completed. The dragline to be used has a 13 cubic yard ca pacity, and the bucket which is suspended from a 150 foot boom, is large enough to hold an automobile. It is estimated that it will take nine days to complete the 600-foot closure. * * * Something new in women’s fashions was witnessed by Judge John J. Edstrom in justice court at Wahoo last week, when a Lincoln woman was arrested for reckless driving. Attired only in a swimming suit, she refused to “come along quietly” or to put on any more clothing. After using both hands and feet to claw the patrolman, she was finally subdued, and showed up in court with a skirt hastily pulled over her suit. The charge of resisting arrest was also added to the driving charge, and her companion was arrested for intoxication. \ Satchel Paige To Start For West Team July 31 Chicago — LeRoy (“Satchell”) Paige, baseball’s ‘ageless’ wonder, will pitch the first three innings for the West team when it meets! the East Sunday afternoon, July 31, in the Negro American Base ball League’s 23d annual Classic. The Classic, as all previous 22 Classics, will be unreeled at Comiskey Park. In event of rain, the game will be played on j Monday night, August 1, under the arcs, starting at 8:30 p.m. Paige got the starting call from Manager John (“Buck”) O’Neill,! of the Kansas City Monarchs,! West All-Star pilot, because this j slow-shuffling, skinny right-hand- • er has been the Classic’s great- j est drawing power. In four previous All-Star ap pearances, ‘Satchel’ drew nearly J 200,000 fans to Comiskey Park.. Come next Sunday, Paige’s ability 1 as a ‘showman’ gets another acid 1 test. Opposing Paige on the mound as the East’s starter will be the Detroit Stars’ Mell Duncan, the Negro American League’s no-hit pitcher thus far this season. Duncan’s manager at Detroit, Ed Steele, named his star. Many big league scouts are ex pected to be on hand for the battle since they have high hopes of again finding a shining gem on the greensward of Comiskey, as did the Cubs ‘ivory-hunterr’ in the 1953 Classic when they whisked away Ernie Banks from the Monarchs. It was Banks’ great play in the Classic that helped the Cubs decide to grab Ernie. Paige, with a record of two wins and one defeat in four Star starts, hopes to get into the win ning ledger again, at least be fore hanging up his glove and spikes. He said: “I always like to pitch before Chicago fans. They inspire me and they always appreciate what I do. I’ll give ’em plenty to laugh about on July 31.” The west leads the series, 14 victories to eight for the East. Eleven players who played in last year’s'Classic are back for a second showing. The West squad is comprised of players from Kan sas City and the Memphis Red Sox; the East’s players come from the Detroit Stars and the Birmingham Black Barons.
