H. Naylor Fitzhugh, Executive Director We have, in our office, a compilation of recent Census data on the nonwhite populations of 33 cities and counties for which special :ompietc Censuses have been conducted between 1950 and 1957, and which have nonwhite populations of 5,000 or more. These rfties are located in the following eight states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas. California, Florida, Illinois Indana, and Nevada. Most of these are areas in which rapid population changes have been occurring in recent years, Th* compilation shows the non white population according to the most recent Census; the percent increase since 1950, compared with the percent increase, 1940-50; and compared with the percent increase in total population for the city since 1950. These tabulations were prepared by The Moss H. Kendrix Or ganization, and have been made available to the members of NAMD. We would be happy to share a copy with you, if you should have any need for such data. This modest offer is made out of our appreciation for the fine cooperation which NAMD members con tinuously receive from the Negro press. NAACP Calls Little Rock Threat To U. S. New York, Sept. 6—The defiance of Federal authority at Little Rock, Arkansas, by Gov. Orval Faubus “threatens the entire concept if a Federal union and endangers a wide category of rights and privileges of citizens of the United States wherever they may live,” President Eisenhower was told in a telegram yesterday. The wire, sent by Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive secrcetary, said the use of state troops by Gov. Faubus to prevent Negro stu ients from attending Central high school pursuant to a Federal court order stemmed from an idea that “states and regions are free to decide whether to abide by the Constitution and the Federal court rulings or not, as they see fit." Asserting that such an idea must not be allowed to stand “unchallenged and unclarified,” the President was urged by the VAACP leader to take steps “to preserve the authority of our na :ional government in the Little Rock and any other similar situa ion.” The Chief Executive was reminded that on July 2 Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia had made a “bayonet" speech in the Senate expressing his horror at the thought of Federal troops be ing sent into the South, but that today “state troops carry ing arms ind equipment purchased and furnished them by the United States ire defying the government of their country.” The NAACP wire declared Negro citizens were proud of the “brave and dignified deportment of their youngsters in the face of provocative and degrading mob action” and, while particularly in terested in the immediate situation, were "deeply concerned” over the effect of general defiance of Federal authority. Integration In Carolina Headlines Charlotte, N. C. (CNS) — Limited school integration in four North Carolina cities of Winston Salem, Charlotte Greensboro and Raleigh, seemed when court actions aimed to keep Negroes out were dismiss ed. i Already in Greensboro, six j Negro children registered with out incident in previously all ( white schools.

Owns I Property of Booker T. Dr. S. J. Phillips, President Booker T. Washington National Monument Foundation Virginia Booker T. Washington Birthplace, Dear Dr. Phillips: It gives me pleasure to advi«c you that the final title opinion of the Attorney General of the Uni ted States shows that a good and valid title to the former Booker T. Washington National Monu | ment Foundation property i n j Franklin County, Virginia, is now vested in the United States. The deed of donation was ac cepted by the Assistant Director of the National Park Service on behalf of the United States as of June 18, 1957. thus completing the final step in establishing the Booker T. Washington National Monument as authorized by Pub lic Law 464. 84th Congress, ap proved April 2, 1956. 1 know of your great interest in bringing about the establish ment of the Monument. The Na tional Park Service is very happy by the Congress to develop at to accept the responsibility given Booker T. Washington National Monument a fitting tribute to a great American. We will be getting in touch with you soon about various mat ters concerning the new project. Sincerely yours, Elbert Cox Regional Director Segregation Is Strong In Africa Today it is a crime in South Africa for black and white to talk together in a public meeting,; "ttudy in the same school, live fn the same neighborhood, or sit in the same restaurant, movie or hotel lobby. It is high treason to attempt to alter this system in any way, even by democraic means. Any man, woman or child, black or white, who advo cates democracy based on equali ty of rights may be branded, ac cording to a South African law,, a communist or a traitor. Millions of South Africans un J derstandably find these condi j tions intolerable. Recently, per son:*—black and white—who have been outspoken in their denun ciation of the government’s racial policy were arrested and charged with treason. Among them were such outstanding persons as Z. K. Matthews, Henry Luce Visiting Professor at Union Theological Seminary in 1952-53, who is widely known in the United States. If moderate men are suppressed, there is little chance for democratic evolution in South Africa. We have been urged by Bishop Ambrose Reeves of Jobannes ! burg, Alan Paton, Father Trevor J Huddleston and others to estab I lish a defense fund here to be , used in two ways; first, to help | provide those under arrest with ; the best possible legal defense. I Second, to help meet the critical needs faced by their families, I More -than $150,000 is needed from the United States and Can ada alone. The American Committee on | Africa is uniquely equipped to - deal with this appeal and has a special South Africa Defense accepted the task of establishing Fund. Because I believe the cri sis in South Africa to be so dan gerous and the situation there so obnoxious to all people of good will, I have accepted the Co chairmanship of this Defense Fund together with the Very Reverend James T. Pike. The tragic urgency of this sit uation demands bur immediate attention. There is much more at stake than the guilt or inno cence of 156 persons in South Af i rica; we are witnessing a test of enormously important values to the free nations of the world. For what better distinguishes de mocracy from tyranny than the right of free men toseek change constitutionally? I urge all Americans to help by sending a generous contribution to the South Africa Defense Fund, 4 West 40th Street, New York 16, New York. Let us not fail those in South Africa wh ostand at the front lines in this struggle. Sincerely, JOHN GUNTER Co-Chairman, South Af rica Defense Fun Tired of Mistress, Wife Sues Mineola, L. I. (CNS)—Tired of the "misconduct” of her hus band, Dr. Charles E. Baker— who in the last few years has hit the headlines frequently in conjunction with white TV sing er Mrs. Elinor Ohms, Mrs. Enid Baker has filed for a divorce or separation in Supreme Court In her complaint she's asking for $500 per week alimony and $7,500 for her attorney. She’s also asking for fees for the education of the Bakers' two children, Valerie, 20, a student at Marymount Academy in New Rochelle, and Charles, Jr., 17 who attends Chaminade High School. Dr. Baker, who is in his early 50's, first hit the headlines when fiery Mrs. Ohms accused him of “stealing” her mink stole. It later developed that the doctor had given Mrs. Ohms the stole, snatched it in a quar rel. Mrs. Omhs’ husband—a noted trombone player—added j more fuel to the fire by filing for divorce charging that their second child was fathered by Dr. Baker. Mr. Ohms won only a separation at first because he was said to be still living with Ids wife and thereby condoning her transgressions. Finally, he! won a divorce before he diedi last year. Mrs. Baker not only names the shapely Mrs. Ohms in her divorce suit but seven others Dr. Baker calls the charges un true.

Rheumatic Fever Drive Till Nov. 1 Residents are urged to again give full support to the Nebraska Heart Association in combating rheumatic fever, a major cause of long-term disability and death among school-age children. Dr. Richard L. Egan, Public Education Chairman, announced the third annual "Stop Rheuma tic Fever” Campaign, running through November. It will stress that initial and repeat attacks can be prevented now through control of "Strep” infections. Key weapon in the campaign is a free pamphlet which lists the seven danger signals. Copies of "Now You Can Protect Your Child from Rheumatic Fever" may be had by writing Heart. O maha 1. "Knowing when to call your doctor and what to tell him a bout your child’s 'strep' sore throat may save your child from a rheumatic fever attack," said Dr. Egan. He pointed out that rheumatic fever an its sequel, rheumatic heart disease, killed 172 Nebras kans in the last recorded year (1956), an increase of 17% over the previous year. But tht primp significance of rheumatic fever is the long-term, even life-long threat it poses not only to chiHren but to grown ups who contrated the disease in childhood. Nebraska has bewren 5,000 to 7,000 rheumatic persons. “Unless preventitive measures *rc taken, those who have had rheumatic fever, especially child ren, may suffer heart-damaging repeat attacks^” warned Dr. Egan. A recent Nebraska survey by ths Heart Association shows 50% of rheumatic fever patients had a repeat attack in Western part of the state, while 33% percent was the rate 'in Eastern Nebras ka. ___ Richard Nared Mr. Richard Nared. age 51 years, 2517 Grant Street, passed away Tuesday afternoon Septera ber 3rd at his home.

PRESIDENT URGED TO NAME RIGHTS COMMISSION MEMBERS New York, Sept. 5 — The civil rights bill enacted by Con gress on August 29 “can mean much or little depending upon the people President Eisenhower appoints to carry out its pro visions and the sincerity with which they devote themselves to the -discharge of their re sponsibilities,’’ asserted a state ment issued here on September 1 by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.
