Reader's Digest Cites The
Progress Of The Negro Race
—
Pleasantville, N. Y. — In less
than a generation, Negroes have
marched farther toward full par
ticipation in American life than
in all of the past, says Albert Q.
Maisel in the September Reader’s
Digest.
Appraising Negro progress in
industry, Maisel notes that in the
South as well as the North, more
and more Negroes are finding
skilled jobs. For example, Lock
heed Aircraft today has 1000 skill
ed Negro workers in its Marietta,
Georgia plant alone.
In 1930 there were fewer than
200,000 Negro trade-union mem
bers. Currently there are almost
two million, and a growing number
of Negroes have risen to posts of:
union leadership. In 1944 the
telephone industry hired its first
Negro clerks and switchboard op
erators. Today it has more than
10,000. Big-city banks and de
partment stores, formerly employ
ing Negroes only as janitors, now
have many as clerks, stenograph
ers, tellers and accountants.
The Negro’s wages have increas
ed to more than four times their
1940 level, the article states. This
new prosperity has created a vast
new market with a purchasing
power of $16 billion a year.
Full integration is now the rule
in the Armed Forces. Among the
nearly 6000 Negro officers is Brig.
Gen. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., of the
Air Force.
Similar advances are evident in
education. In 1932 only 7000 stu
dents attended Negro colleges,
with possibly 2000 more Negroes
in unsegregated colleges of the
North. By 1947, Negro-college en
rollment had climbed above
70,000; Negroes in other colleges
numbered 12,000. Since then,
many more institutions have open
ed their doors.
“The walls of prejudice are tum
bling down,” Maisel says, “in the
effort to make the American
dream of equality come true for
all men.”

Ga. Rescinds
Teacher
Purge
New York — T he NAACP took
favorable note last week of the
action of the Georgia State Board
of Education earlier in the week
rescinding resolutions aimed at
teachers who belong to the NAA
CP or who in any way approve of
school integration.
The education board’s move was
described by Gloster B. Current,
NAACP director of branches, as
“a major victory for the Georgia
NAACP State Conference and
other citizens in Georgia who open
ly opposed the Board of Educa
tion’s ridiculous action.”
In a letter to W. W. Law, acting
president of the Georgia State
NAACP, Mr. Current asserted:
“The backing down on the part
of the Board, and especially on
the part of Attorney General Eu
gene Cook, upon whose advice the
Board acted in the first place, is
an outgrowth of the adverse pub
lic reaction engendered by the
Board’s misguided attempt to de
prive Negro teachers of their live
lihood simply because they support
the NAACP’S effort to uphold the
Constitution of the United States.
“As a result of the thoughtless
| and crude attempts of opposition
.leaders to frighten and intimidate
i Negroes into forsaking the NAA
I CP. our program is gaining wide
support in the South. We are en
couraged by the fact that many
church leaders such as Bishop
Randolph R. Claiborne, Jr., Pro
testant Episcopal Bishop for North
Georgia, spoke out against the
Board and in support of compli
ance with the decisions of the Su
preme Court.
Bibb Congratulates Officer
—————_ ———— —1
Happily receiving congratula
tions from Joseph D. Bibb, direc
tor of the Illinois department of
Public Safety, is Robert M. Pat
ton, first Negro promoted to ser
geant on the state highway police
force. Bibb, at left, is the first
Ne^-o to hold a position of cabinet
rank in the Illinois state govern
ment. So it is a question of one
“first” praising another “first.”

6000 Degrees
In 1954-55
To Negroes
New York — More than 6,000
Negroes were graduated from in
stitutions of higher learning in
the U. S. during the academic year,
1954 - 55, according to the current
issue of The Crisis, official organ
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Pointing out that its information
is not complete, The Crisis gives a
tentative figure of 6,802 Negro
graduates.
The fact that few racially inte
grated colleges and universities
keep records regarding the race of
their students accounts in large
part for the incomplete statistics
on Negroes who were graduated
this past academic year, The Crisis
notes.
The figure (6,802) represents
6,370 bachelor degrees and 296
master degrees.
Doctorates were awarded to a
number of Negroes during the
same academic year. These de
grees were in the fields of philoso
phy, dental surgery, medicine,
science, laws and fine arts, as well |
as honorary degrees.

Defense Fund
loney Now!
Last year when the U. S. Su
preme Court decided that racial
segregation in public education vi
olated the Constitution, Negroes
throughout the country were
elated.
Few realized that this decision
came about only after years and
years of hard work by many, in
cluding large groups of volunteer
lawyers and social scientiests.
Few realized the several hundred
thousands spent on expenses in
these cases.
Hardly anyone ever paused to
consider the threats and intimida
tions against the parents of the
school children involved. Most
Americans simply took all of this
for granted.
Now, after the last decision ii
these cases, the deep South is a
gain showing its hand.
At least two Negroes in Missis
sippi have been killed for insist
ing on the right to vote.
White Citizens’ Councils are
cropping up all over the South, de
termined to destroy all economia
1 advantages for Negroes.
Governors and attorneys general
have said repeatedly that they will
litigate this matter for fifty or a
hundred years.
Louisiana has appropriated
$100,000 to resist court actions ill
that state. Other states have as>
signed six to fifty lawyers to op
pose cases in their states. Negro
teachers are being intimidated and
discharged.
You have read about these and
other challenges in your own news
papers. You have felt sorry for -
these people. You are sure that
the NAACP will meet these ever
increasing challenges.
Again, you are taking it as a
matter of course because the NA
ACP has never let you down.
1 have news for you: WTe will
not be able to meet these chal
lenges unless we get the money to
do it.
We have always had difficulty
meeting our regular budgets. We
! cannot meet this heavily financed
new assault unless you stop taking
I us for granted and dig deep into
i your pockets—and do it now!
