C. According to a report j in the AFL-CIO News of March 24, 1956, all four men were badly beaten. One of i.tae men was severely injured. The Textile W orkers Union reports that its request for federal intervention was turned down by the Department of Justice, because under the present law the Department alleges that it has no authority to act against private individuals who deny other individuals their civil rights. By this method individual members of the White Councils take the law into their own hands with a view to preventing labor and Negroes from exercising their civil rights of free speech and free assembly. Labor organizers and Negroes are without the protection of the law under the claim of the Department of Justice that it has do legal authority to intervene against individuals who may violate the civil rights of other individuals. Therefore, unless civil rights legislation is enacted to overcome this legal vacuum, Negroes and trade unionists will remain victims of persecution, violence and lynch law by the White Citizens Councils who are just as much opposed to labor as they are to Negro citizens. In the opinion of the American Civil Liberties Union, if an a mendment to the civil rights legislation is adopted permitting federal action against private persons, it would serve notice on those who use violence against labor organizers and Negroes rather than employ methods of discussion, that the use of such force will not go unpunish ed by the Federal government Because of the fact that labor and the Negro in the South must arise together as free men or hang together as victims of southern racial reaction, intolerance, bigotry and prejudice, the trade union movement and Negro organizations out of enlightened self-interest must unite and fight to win civil rights. While the White Citizen Councils under the inspiration of Sen ator James O. Eastland may rave and rant about white supremacy, upon closer examination and scrutiny it will be found that they are not as much opposed to Negro rights as they are afraid of the growth and development of a strong and independent trade union movement in the South, enactment of fair and just civil rights legislation and the rise of independent, liberal and agressive white leaders in education, church and other areas of southern life. Congratulations to Liberia's Tubman It was encouraging to read a dispatch by the Associated Press of May 2, to the effect that President William V. S. Tubman of Liberia had turned down a Soviet suggestion that he visit Russia. The very fact that Soviet diplomats are making overtures to the Liberian leader to get him to accept communist Russia’s hospitality indicates that the wily agents of the Kremlin have designs on the little African republic. It would, indeed, be tragic were Liberia to be caught in the embrace %,! the sinister clutches of the communist Russian bear. , . . Although Liberia may not have made much progress in the field of economics, politics, education and social and industrial engineering, it were better that she move in the orbit of free national communities under the guidance of the United States than that she be beguiled by roseate and fabulous Russian pledges and become one of the satellites of the Russian communist slave world. We consider that President Tubman has used sober, sane and sound judgement in keep ing away from the Soviet Union’s influences. Now, in order that Liberia may move at a more desirable rate progress in the development of her industrial economic life, it is the obligation of the United States of America to give this little coun try not only greater financial help but more extensive technological aid and cooperation. The 'Carrot* Approach to Integration AN INTIMATE MESSAGE FROM WASHINGTON By Richard L. Stout Washington If I life my glance from my typewriter and look out across Penn sylvania Avenue, I can see a glint of gray-blue water a mile or so away (over the red tile roof of the enormous Commerce Department Building) and that is the Potomac River. On the other side of the river is Fairfax County, Virginia, an area that apparently is willing to go ahead with integration of schools. But Fairfax County is in a state where (although its ratio of Negro population is lower than that in the District of Columbia) integration is frowned upon. (The District of Columbia, incidentally, has integrated its schools and is a practical example both of the difficulties and possibilities involved.) Well, Representative Stewart L. Udall (D) of Arizona lives over in Fairfax County. He comes from a state which maintained dual school systems until the Supreme Court ruled them illegal. And now Mr. Udall comes forward with a moderate, middle-road proposal which is attracting much attention. It is an application of the ancient idea of using a carrot instead of a stick. Why shouldn’t the federal government, he asks, pay some of the heavy costs of school integration in those areas which are willing to undertake it? Why not drop the punitive features of the so-called Powell amendment (by Representative Adam C. Powell (D) of New York, barring states from federal school aid which continue segrega tion) and substitute the proposals of the “Udall amendment,” to have the federal government help meet the costs of integration? Mr. Udall told the House about his proposal last Feb. 21; a House labor sub-committee has just this week approved it It’s now or never for the pending $1.6 billion federal aid to school construction bill. If it doesn’t pass in the next two months it will be lost for this Congress. Educationalists call America’s over-crowded schools a dis grace, but the chances of getting the pending bill through hinge very largely on whether the “stick” approach is tried (the Powell amend ment) or the “carrot” approach (the Udall amendment). The thing that stands out in the District of Columbia experience with integration is that the schools for Negroes that were supposed to be “separate but equal” were not in fact; that the educational standards of the Negro students were well below those of the whites; and that integration means a big new cost unless the whole Washing ton school system is to be leveled down. Here is the start of the argument Mr. Udall advances. Southern states built up a dual school system believing it legal (as it was for 58 years). Now it is suddenly illegal and a great many old school buildings will have to be abandoned and a lot of new ones built, let alone other costs. ___ - — —— ■j— Doesn’t the nation owe an obligation to meet part of this cost? Wouldn’t the application of some of the proposed new school con struction money to this purpose—say $25 to $50 million annually — be warmhearted testimony to areas concerned that the rest of the coun try appreciates their difficulties and stands behind them? Mr. Udall recalls that, for a while, Representative Powell thought of withdrawing his own punitive amendment if the Udall proposal were adopted as a substitute. That compromise fell through. But the Udall idea still stands. A feature of Mr. Udall’s proposal is that local school districts would be allowed to apply direct to Washington for aid irrespective of the official attitude of their state as a whole. Obviously few districts would apply in some southern states. But Mr. Undall now has evi dence that a lot of marginal areas, willing to apply local option, like the idea very much. Dr. Clifford Blackburn, Superintendent of Schools, North Little Rock, Arkansas, for example, said it would aid many districts. Dr. Oscar V. Rose, Superintendent of Schools in Midwest City, Oklahoma, writes Mr. Udall that he and Dr. Oliver Hodge, state superintendent, think the proposal of “inestimable value.” Again Dr. Robert R. Martin, Kentucky school superintendent, writes that the plan has “outstanding merit and value.” It is not in tegration itself but the cost of integration, Dr. Martin points out, that puts a terrible burden on many small affected areas. See in' Stars By Dolores Calvin New York (CNS) GARNER OUT j OF HOSPITAL AS BELAFONTE ENTERS_Erroll Garner — the ! jazz pianist — was finally pro-j nounced in good enough health to ! be realeased from Lenox Hill Hos- ’ pital to start working again. He' had suffered injuries in a New York taxi accident and was told to rest until his San Francisco date started June 15th. But while Garner is up and out. Harry Belafonte went on the sick list. He had to cancel out at the > Waldorf Astoria and let Hilde-! garde take over. Harry has anj acute laryngitic infection and had to go through an operation. Doc tors ordered him to rest a month 1 before he starts back to singing. Pearl Bailey was among the top j calibre stars to entertain President Eisenhower just before his latest j illness. All were commenting how fit he looked and how much ; he laughed at Miss Bailey ar.d Bob Hope, whose jokes were hilarious. I Pearl even waved at Eisenhower j and he waved back.

Doesn’t seem that long that the petite star has been a round. Katherine Dunham has in mind big things. She’s in Tokyo, Japan now on her way for an Australian tour. Following there, she hopes to return to Japan and do some special performances with her troupe. Sammy Davis, Jr. continues to roll in “Mr. Wonderful.” Tile house is one of Broadway’s big gest, yet it does %ths capacity business with Sammy plugging as hard as .he does to overcome the adverse critics. Now that he’s proved his point, it shouldn't be long before Sammy heads for the night club circuit. The “Porgy and Bess” crew fin ally got home via a chartered plane —from so much roaming overseas. They made quite an im pression abroad and raised the standard of the American Negro to thinking Europeans who imag ined us the lowliest of the low. Plus the cast made money in a fabulous way. Todd Duncan, the baritone of “Porgy and Bess” in the old days and a former member of the facul ty of Howard University, received an honorary degree from the Uni versity at its 88th commencement exercise.

We do sincerely appreciate the business so generously given us by union members. Nevertheless, we must ask for still more patronage for these reasons. 1. We compete with companies controlled economically only by the Wage and Hour Law. Or by such addi tional laws as control those companies in interstate commerce. i 2. And the difference in cost is startling. 3. Besides objecting to spending the hard cash necessary to offer a union scale, some of these competitors contend that they object in principle to collective bargaining with either farm or labor groups, accord ing to leaders of both groups. Some sincerely believe that wealth may be created only by the hoarding of a few, rather than through the sharing with many. The question now faces people of this area whether wages in the dairy industry shall be determined es sentially by the Wage and Hour Law or by collective bargaining.
