“BLOCS” And “LOCAL

CUSTOM”

‘Take-Out Only’

We had a rather calm, low-

pressure conversation the other

,day on a rather unpleasant sub-

ject with a gentleman who man-

ages one of the largest depart-

ment stores in this city. The

,information which comes to us isthat the Atlanta store is owned or

managed by a New York concern

» whose name is a by-word in mer-

.chandising. The local chieftan wascalling to explain to us that we

were in error in thinking that the

serving of Negro customers on a

_ take-out only’ basis at the base-“ment lunch counter represented a

change of policy. Anxious to set

any doubts we might have at rest,

,the gentleman assured us that,though there might have been

lapses in the past, their basic

policy was and is to hold firmly

to ‘local custom’ — a polite name

for racial segregation. Having

thus re-established our faith in

the American Way, our caller ex-

, changed courteous farewells with

the so-called Negro ‘‘bloc vote”

someone to suggest that the Negro

citizens go off in a corner and

hang their heads in shame —

whether for registering in such

numbers or for voting against

persons they felt might be un-to their interests we

weren't quite sure.

Since the bonded righteousnessof our white fellow

Vote PowerAtlanta’s political leadership, as represented by the Atlanta Negro

Voters League, headed by Attorney A. T. Walden and Rev. Wm. M.

Jackson, dispelled criticisms of its effectiveness in the September

| 14 Primary Election by helping three of its recommended candidates

in various sections of the city.

Defeated candidates Archie Lind-

sey, defeated by Sheriff Grimes

and Atty. Ruben Garland, over-

come by Solicitor Webb, are

reputed to have used such tech-

niques in the recent Primary.

Through effective organization at

the “grass roots” level and by

securing the co-operation of lead-

ers of civic and community or-

ganizations, under J. H. Calhoun,

asst. secretary of the city-wide

League, at the direction of the

recently expanded executive com-

mittee, voter-interest was in-

creased to the extent that partici-

pation of Negroes was weil above

the average.

Whereas, the general voting for

the city fell to some 50.4%, an

analysis by Mr. Calhoun shows

that for the eleven precincts, com-

posed of 98.8% Negro voters, ap-

proximately 62.27 of these regis-

tered voters went to the polls

on Wednesday. These percentages

were calculated from the official

figures and machine counts which

also show that 1,395 voters of the

13,535 who voted in these pre-

cincts, either failed to vote or did

not vote on all candidates, because

in the Grimes-Lindsey bracket,

the largest vote cast, only 12,140

voted, whereas the total machine

count for the eleven precincts was

13,535, indicating that 10.3% of

the voters need instructions or

urging to make their votes count

in every bracket. He admits that

in view of the large number of

new voters, this should not have

been overlooked at the public

meetings, which were short.

Features of the proposal were:

ployment policies was reviewed.

The student leaders say they

pointed out that only a Negro

bag-boy had been hired since the

April meeting and that Westside

citizens were disappointed and dis-

pleased, especially since Negro

patrons have played such an

important role in the growth of

the store. One of the Jordans in-

dicated that a Negro girl had

applied for a job in June. A

search of the files turned up Miss

Keith’s application, and the two

student leaders drove to her

home and brought her back to

the store. She was hired then and

there and began training last

week as a cashier at an employee-

training establishment on West

Peachtree. She began working at

the store Friday, September 23.

Meanwhile, the Colonial Store at

Hunter and Ashby Streets which

has been under protest picketing

for the past few weeks by stu-

dents, physicians, dentists, and by the superintendent and if ac-

PAGE TWO THE ATLANTA INQUIRER MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,

Let FreedomRing

“Peaceful petitions to the con-

science of our fellow citizens for

redress of the old grievances thatstem from racial segregation

and discrimination.” These lines,

taken from the statement sub-

mitted by the Student Nonviolent

Coordinating Committee to the

Platform Committee of the Na-

tional Democratic and Republican

Conventions, aptly describe the

student movement. I would like to

quote a few more lines from that

statement.

“On February 1, 1960, four

freshmen left the campus of A&T

College in Greensboro, North Caro-

lina, went to the heart of that

city, and took seats in forbidden

territory — the lunch counter of

Woolworths, Inc. In a sense, this

was the beginning of the stu-

dent protest movement. But the

threads of the quest for freedom

and human dignity reach back

much farther — back into thedays of 1955 when thousands of

Negroes walked and the busses of

Montgomery, Alabama, were un-

der boycott.

America was founded because

men were seeking room to move.

We are again seeking that room.

We want room to recognize our

potential. We want to walk into

the sun and through the front

door. For three hundred and fifty

years, the American Negro has

been sent to the back door in

education, housing, employment,

and the rights of citizenship atthe polls. We grew weary. Our

impatience with the token efforts

of responsible adult leaders was

manifest in the spontaneous pro-

test demonstrations which, afterFebruary 1, spread rapidly across

the entire South and into the

North as sympathetic students

sought to display their own dis-

satisfaction with race relations in

the United States.

The movement is a protest and

it is an affirmation. We protest

and take direct action against

conditions of discrimination. We

affirm equality and brotherhood

of all men, the tenets of American

democracy as set forth in the

Constitution, and the traditions of

social justice which permeate our

Judaic — Christian heritage.

The student movement, despite

the accusations of some public

figures, is neither Communist con-

trolled nor inspired. Such charges

are unfounded and merely serve

to heighten the tensions which

must come in any social change.

To label our goals, methods, and

presuppositions ‘“‘communistic’’ is

to credit Communism with an at-

tempt to remove tyranny and to

create an atmosphere where gen-

uine communication can occur.

What we, the participants in the

movement, have in common, are

our beliefs in the dignity of the

individual, our hope in the demo-

cratic form of government, and

our devotion to our homeland.”

These sentences contain the es-

sence of the student movement.

In reality ‘more than a ham-

burger” students and all men

want only the granting and recog-

nition of a right which has long

been theirs. The right to full and

equal citizenship with every other

American citizen. No more, and

certainly no less. Today's young

people want to be free today.

We have been for too long too

eager to accept compromise and

tokenism as substitutes for actual

progress. The wrongs and mis-

deeds which this country has al-

lowed to smear its proud record

as the champion of the free world

must be erased.

The students of America havelet the world know that they are

tired of being second class in a

first class society. They are tired

of being told to go slow and to

forgive and forget. Through the

non-violent protests, they have ex-

pressed their unbearable disgust

at a system which prohibits per-

sons from enjoying Constitution-

ally guaranteed rights and which

every day, turns another brown

September 16, 1960

Supt. Beerman

City of Atlanta Police Dept.

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Supt. Beerman:

On Friday, September 16, 1960,

between the hours of 8:45 A.M.

and 9:00 AM., I was travelling

east on Trinity Avenue in the vi-

cinity of Washington Street, at

which intersection (Trinity and

Washington) I turned north (left)

on Washington Street, at which

time the traffic was extremely

heavy with cars lined on both

sides of the street. After turning,

Officer J. E. Barfield yelled out

of his patrol car “hey’’. His car

was parked at the curb on the

opposite side of the street. It was

not to my knowledge as to who

he was calling. I looked and saw

that his car remained parked. I

heard no further reply and pro-

ceeded to move on, at which time,

Officer Barfield backed his car

almost into my car, saying to me

“pull over.” With traffic moving

on both sides of the street and

my car being in the center lane,I could not pull over without hit-

ting other cars. I then asked him,

“where to’ pull over? He then

instructed to pull over into the

City Hall parking lot, this I did

without hesitation.

After pulling over into the City

Hall parking lot, Officer Barfield

came over to my car and stated

that I ran a red light and I asked,

where? At this point, he requested

my driver's license, I opened my

car door in order to step out and

get my license out of my wallet.

Before I could completely get my

balance after standing, OfficerBarfield stated that I was ‘being

smart.” He grabbed my arm and

threw me around and pushed me

to his car. After he manhandled

me and pushed me to his car, I

stated to him that I had done

nothing to be manhandled for and

that I was not one who would

attempt to break anv just law

willfully. He then ordered me to

“shut up’ or else he would “beat

me.” At this point, I stated to

him that I might be beaten to

my knees but I would like to un-

derstand the reason for this dis-

position. At this point, he picked

up the patrol car telephone.

I then asked if he still wanted

my license. He again ordered me

to ‘shut up”. At this point, a

gentleman, apparently working in

the City Hall parking lot, came

around and Officer Barfield asked

him to ‘stick around,” as if I

was going to attack him. I had

not given him any indication ofthis.

Officer Barfield and the gentle-

man, whose name I do not know,

engaged in a conversation, and I

heard Officer Barfield state to

him, *‘you know what this is all

about, they cannot break the law.”

I again asked, if he wanted mylicense and again I was ordered

o ‘‘shut up.” The gentleman, who

was there with Officer Barfield

stated that he was going to have

my car pulled in. When I ques-

tioned the reason, he stated I

would probably be locked up. I

requested that my car not be

moved until the question of my

arrest was disposed of — which

request was apparently granted

because my car was not moved.

At this point, a Sergeant drove

face in another brown countryaway from democracy.

The students have heard the

bells toll and have written an

epitaph for accommedation and

discrimination. We wonder when

other citizens will realize that

they can hear the bells too. They

have heard the solemn epitaph

and seen the hearse go by, butthey will not gather to lower thecorpse. When will you take your

place in the march toward free-dom?

PARTY’MANNERSAnybody who can remember

what used to be taught as the

ground rules of goed manners

must find the behavior of nations

and leaders of nations in these

troubled times confusing, if not

downright upsetting.

You must always be kind to

strangers and try to make them

feel at home, the folksy rules of

conduct used to run. But nowa-

days even a Vice-President and

the President's best-known per-

sonal representative meet with

insults and shoving; while the

President himself is told that he

had best not sample the hospital-

ity of his prospective hosts.

No matter how other people act

you mustn’t go back on your own

home training, another rule held.

But the minute the shoe is on the

other foot and the ill-mannered

ones light on our shores they are

given a good stiff dose of snub-

bing, cold-shouldering and a few

well-chosen pieces of our official

mind. To which they gladly re-

spond by breaking the rule that

you don’t come into somebody

else’s house and proceed to cut

the fool.

Speak when you're spoken to

has long since flown out the win-

dow, so all parties freely adver-

tise their inmost uncomplimen-

tary thoughts about one another.

Guests storm from one hotel to

another in a cloud of contradic-

tory charges about protection,

over-protection, price-hiking and

chicken-plucking. Guests lists for

private parties and get-togethers

are loudly announced in public

with the clear intention of under-

lining the names of the un-invited.

And all the while, with barri-

cades sprouting and squadrons of

police and gun-hefting security

guards milling around, the cause

for which the party-goers have

supposedly gathered can be

glimpsed, lop-sidedly out of focus,

every now and then.

In case it’s slipped anyone's

mind, the real purpose of this

saadparty is... Peace.

Where AreThe Books?Again Negro parents — taxpay-

ers and responsible citizens -—

have brought it to our attention

that their children are going to

classes in certain public schools

without books.

State boards of education and

the various rating and certifying

agencies set certain standards as

to the number of days pupils

should spend in school each year.

It might be easy enough to as-

sume that if two pupils taking the

same course spend the same num-

ber of hours in school they are

being given at least approximately

the same chance. But if one

youngster must add to the other

handicaps he is saddled with the

further drawback of being two,

three, four or six chapters behind

the more fortunate youngster who

up on a motorcycle and Officer

Barfield and the gentleman gave

him an erroneous account of the

incident, stating that I attempted

to attack the officer, which I cor-

rected in a statement to the Ser-

geant, stating to him that I never

attempted or made a motion to

attack the officer and that I wasa willing citizen who would follow

the request of an officer without

hesitation, either mental or phy-

sical.

The above statements I have

made are true, under God.

This type of action by Civil

Authorities raises a question in

my mind as to the American way

of Justice and Human Dignity and

I do hope that there will be citi-

zens who will deplore this type of

action with every fiber of energy

in their bodies until Justice is

rendered to all mankind.

CC THE STRAW THAT ...a

PITTS PIN-POINTS STATEPUBLIC SCHOOL INEQUITIES

Highlights of Statement to

the Georgia State Board of

Education by L. H. Pitts, Execu-

tive Secretary, Georgia Teach-

ers and Education Association

on September 19, 1960.

An cppeal to make adequate

educational opportunities avail-

able to all has been made by the

Georgia Teachers and Education

Association. L. H. Pitts, executive

secretary, made the presentation

in an address to the Georgia State |

Board of Education.

Mr. Pitts outlined seven areas |

of concern.

1. Annual Contracts: ‘. . . each

teacher who is employed in the |state of Georgia should have in

his possession at this moment a

written signed contract. There are |

now some teachers in the state

who have not received contracts

for 1959-60 nor 1960-61. This, we

believe, is an understatement of|the facts if they were documented.

You can understand our concern

particularly with the coming of |

the meeting of the Legislature and !the possibility of the results of |

recent decisions of the courts.’

2. Teacher Tenure: ‘There are

teachers in the state who have |

worked for as many as 19 and |

20 years who have been left with-

out contracts at the close of the

school year with no written state-

men of reasons given. They have |

been re-placed immediately which

would indicate that they were not

released because of loss in Aver:

age Daily Attendance. Teacher

tenure for all teachers of Georgia |

has the books paid for through |

public taxes then it is clearer than |

ever what a mockery ‘separate |

but equal’ is.

Our new

Schools comes highly recom-

mended as an able and experi- |enced man. We have no reason

to doubt that he is a just man as

well. In a country like ours which.

rightly, puts a high premium on

learning, any restriction at all |which deprives the child of full

Superintendent of |

on the state level might be justi-

fiable in view of the fact that the

state guarantees the basic salary

for the teachers in the public

schools.”

3.New School Construction: “We

are concerned lest the now

proposed $50 per state allotted per

teacher per vear get lost in the

same kind of maze as was the

maintenance and operation money

| allotted per teacher.”4. Maintenance and Operation:

“There is a county in Georgia

with more than 3,000 Negro stu-

| dents, with at least four schools|built under the recent schoolbuilding authority at a cost of

| more than a half million dollars,| with more than 70 teachers where

there are no janitors and where

| janitorial supplies are shamefully

| lacking. Ladies and gentlemen,| this cannet go unnoticed too muchlonger by the tax payers who are

| concerned about the education of| all people.”

| 5.Subtle Methods of Intimida-tion: ‘“. . . that reprisals have

been visited on some of the teach-

| ers in the state apparently be-

| cause they were married in a cer-

{tain family, they belonged to a

| certain organization, they at-

| tempted to exercise the use of the

{ ballot, or they dared to encourage

| citizen-discussion of school mat-ters, are not known to the honest,

| just people in our state and I am| sure is not known to this Board.”

6. Vocational Education: “‘.

| ask that you note the inequities

of proposed opportunities for peo-

{ple of color. This state, this na-

| tion and the more than one million

| Negroes in Georgia cannot afford

| the economic loss resulting from

the lack of vocational educational

opportunities for this segment of

{ the population.”

| 7. The Dilemma of Negro Edu-

(cation in Some Communities:| “There are still some countiesand/or systems in the state of| Georgia which have not provided

adequate housing for all of their

| children. There are some counties

educational opportunity should be | and/or systems which have ap-

speedily removed. | parently ignored the opportunity

to use the resources, already ac

cumulated and constantly grow-

ing, to provide housing for Negro

children. I woud call your atten-

tion to only one such situation ir

this statement, and would refer

you to the records regarding

others.”

“Bleckly County presents a fla

grant example. This County appar-

ently did not accept the services

of the School Building Authority

nor the funds then available t

build. . . . $300,000 has now ac-

cumulated to the credit of the

County and as far as we know,

no blueprints are presently avail

able nor are they in process of

being prepared. These boys and g

girls will receive no special con-

sideration when they take th

College Board Examination, will

receive no special consideration

when they apply for jobs in in-

dustry and will receive no special

consideration when they fail to

function as good American citi-

zens, because they were and are

denied decent, healthful and ade

quate facilities in which to study.”

The Norwoods of ThomasvilleThe boll weevil, according to

most stories you hear about him,

is a pretty ornery creature not

very much given to performing

good deeds. But if you drive out

Jonesboro Road and into the sec-

tion known as Thomasville, you

might find at least a hundred-odd

families who have good reason to

be grateful to that branch of the

boll weevil clan which was operat-

ing in Georgia's Fayette County

in the years 1919-1921. For the

man who has done so much to

transform what used to be farm-

land and woods into a flourish-

ing community of modern homes

might well be in Fayette County

yet if the weevils had not con-

vinced young Robert Norwood and

his wife Darthula that farming

had become a losing proposition.

The Depression

Married in 1919 after the young

man came out of the army, Ro-

bert and Darthula wrestled with

bad luck and poor crops for three

years before pulling up stakes

and moving to Atlanta in 1922.

For several years the young

husband worked as a plumber but

then the Depression struck and

making a go of things within the

city limits proved fully as hard

lookers, and Castro’s aides, who

were carrying in boxes of food

(including breakfast cereals) and

arranging to park their cars so

as to avoid receiving New York

parking tickets. People milled

around in the rain, full of pride.

One group in front of a bookstore

which was devoted to Negro his-

tory and had a sign proclaiming

that Christ was black, went on to

explain that they and not the po-

lice were Castro’s friends and pro-

tectors. “He wants to come on

down here and talk to us and

we want to talk to him, so mister,

you and your lines are just in theway.”

It kept on raining, but pecrle

just stayed on, under awnings,

umbrellas, or just in the open. At

four o’clock they were still there

revelling in being around, and

planning to stay the night as if

night and rain were merely

another of a long series of ad-

versities.

By eight o’clock Tuesday morn-

ing there were more onlookers,

more police, more reporters, more

barricades, but no obvious hostil-

ity to Castro. Then more and

more police came and finally,

shortly after noon, the crowd was

quieted by the sound of sirens

as a fleet of cars pulled up at

the Theresa. Rumor had it that

Khrushchev had arrived and

someone said, “Man, Khrushchev

visits Castro in Harlem!”

as fighting the weevils back home.

Heads of families were standing

in soup lines in Atlanta and cities

all over America, and the Nor-

woods decided to at least make

sure that their growing family

had a stable supply of food.

Robert Norwood’s father was al-

ready living on the southeastern

outskirts of Atlanta in Thomas-

ville and in 1931 young Robert

and his wife rented a 65-acre farm

in the Thomasville section for one

bale of cotton per year. The 56-

year old house on the property

had long since seen its best days

and only a small footpath, wind-

ing through the fields and woods.

connected it with the nearest road

but the energetic young couple

and their children rolled up their

sleeves and got to work. As time

went on they had 25 acres in

cultivation, raising cotton, corn,sweet potatoes, syrup cane and

wheat. The children helped look

after the chickens, hogs, and cows

and divided other farming chores

before and after school hours. All

eight Norwood children grew up

on the Thomasville farm: Bennie,

Robert, Jr.. Dorothy Norwood Mc-

Kay, Andrew, Blondine Norwood

Cunningham, Sylvester, Juanita,

and Matthew.

The family had a syrup mill of

its own and made a tidy income

from the sale of syrup and the

cakes and pies baked by Mrs.

Norwood, whose hand, according

to authoritative first-hand reports,

has lost none of its culinary cun-

ning.

Never a man to idle away his

time, Robert Norwood was mean-

while continuing to go into the

city during the day, working

mainly on construction jobs as a

bricklayer’s helper. He would

come home from these jobs in the

evenings, eat dinner and then

sometimes plow by moonlight un-

til 9 o’clock or later.

It was while working on a con-

| skills. Though his roots have re-

| mained firmly rooted in Thomas-

(ville, he has worked at his trade

{on construction projects from the

| Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of

{ Mexico. As each of his boys be-

came old enough to know one

end of a trowel from the other,

he took them out in the backyard,

bought sand and lime and let

them build and tear down tiers

until they were ready to go out

on the job with him.

Robert, Jr., whose own work as

a subcontractor and builder has

included the building of a big

paper mill in Rome, Georgia,

started travelling with his father

at a relatively early age, joining

him on trips to Alabama and

Jackson, Mississippi. In Wooster,

Ohio, after an inspector repeat-

edly refused to pass on some

brickwork being done for a 6

million dollar hospital according

to the architect’s plans, Mr. Nor-

wood ‘laid off’ the section as he

thought it should be done so ef-

fectively that both the inspector

and the architect declared them-

the firms for which he and his

sons have done brickwork include

the Peaslee-Gaulbert Paint and

Varnish Company, the Atlanta

Paper Mill, Pittsburgh Glass Com-

pany, the Coats & Clark’s thread

mill on Lindbergh Drive and the

United Motor Company.

Some twelve years ago Mr.

Norwood began operating as an

independent building contractor,

one of his first successes being

his present home, built largely

out of field stones gathered from

the original 65 acres which the

family by this time owned.

{ The Thomasville community has| . |

value of the bale-of-cotton annual |rent from the Norwood acreage.

that he happened to pick up his |

pay at the same time that the |

two bricklayers for whom he had

been fetching bricks and mortar|

were being paid. His pay came to |

a grand total of 13 dollars while |

the two bricklayers drew 50 dol- |lars. The very next day Norwood |

bought himself a trowel and

quietly began to teach himself

bricklaying, practicing spreading

motar and laying brick with

halves and broken pieces dis-

carded on the job.

“By the time he got through,”

a friend says, ‘he could beat any-

body from Tuskegee or any other

school when it came to fancy

brick-work.”” The walls and build-

ings of every school in the At-

lanta University Center will be

found to bear mute testimony

to Robert Norwood’s self-taught |

All this, along with his masonry

business and his work with the

NAACP, the Atlanta Negro Voters

League, his Lodge 600 Masonic

affiliation and his sparkplug role

in the Thomasville Civic Club

would seem to be a gracious

plenty. But as his wife notes,

very little is allowed to get in

the way of his singing. Mrs. Nor-

wood, on the other hand is at

least partially to blame for the

fact that her husband and his

singing group are forever shut-

tling back and forth between At-

lanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville and

other stopping-off places where

members of the United Singing

Convention and kindred groupsgather to blend their voices in

friendly competitive Christian

song. He claims she first got him

interested in singing. Mr. Nor-

wood’s group is Class # 1 of the

Convention and has 50 sopranos,

tenors, altos, baritones and basses

whom are ready to tune up and

take off at a moment’s notice.

choir.

princess style with a sweetheart neckline and tiny white satin but-

ton-down front and long sleeves ending in points at the wrist fastenedwith white satin buttons. From the princess bodice the skirt with

semi-fullness in front flowed in many folds in back into a chapel

train. Her veil of illusion attached to a tiara of seeded pearls

crowned her with radiant beauty. She carried a white satin-covered

prayer book topped with twin orchids, lilies of the valley and flow-

ing white streamers. Her jewelry was a strand of pearls, a gift

from the groom. The bride's gown was designed and made by her

bodice, scalloped neckline and full skirt with matching headdress and

shoes and short white gloves. Her jewelry was earrings and a strand

of pearls, a gift from the bride. She carried a boquet of lilies of the

valley centered with yellow chrysanthemums fastened with aqua rib-bon.

With JoiBy Emarie Joi Thompson

Ah, teens, could you and I with

laws conspire,To bug that crazy segregation

scene entire,

Would we not straighten out all

that mixed-up jazz,

And make the scene, like, nearer

to our heart’s desire?

—“Omar, Jr.”

What really gets teens to jitter-

ing in their jumpers is that some

“elder berries” (adults) figure

most teens are too ‘‘beat” to

really get with this human rights

jazz. They seem to think we're

“nervous in the service’ because

we don’t have silver sprigs in our

wigs. Well, we really dig that

experience bit — we’ll “take you

to our leaders” — but there've

been a few teens who've buzzed

around in history, too. Like:

Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who

wrote poetry while piloting an

“up-and-down” (elevator); Joan

of Arc, who was “way out” with

a vision at 17; Booker T. Wash-

ington, who hit the footpath at 16

for 300 miles to get his cranium

crammed; Lafayette who was a

blast in the Revolutionnary War

at 19 — and then there was a

lad named David who did a sling-

shot solo!

SOCIAL LIGHTS

Things were really jumpin’ in

the “‘wide open spaces” of Harvey

Bowen, Jr.'s home on Saturday.

The ‘“Rigal Twenty” (formerly

the Sportsmen) made sweet music

with another one of their famous

gigs. The “U.S. Incs.” (Unique

Socialites, Inc.), the girls’ club as-

sociated with the ‘“Rigal Twenty,”

hit the scene in similar casual

clads, wearing their Club colors.

Another up and coming Club, the

“La Capris,” met Saturday at the |home of Miriam Hewitt on Fair-

hurn Road. This group of 25 girls

is headed by capable and affable

Miss Marjorie Anderson.

The College Park Civic andEducational Club, headed by Mrs.

Eva L. Thomas, will present a

“Debut to Society,” featuring

eleven girls, all seniors at Fulton

High. The program will be held

this evening (Sunday, September

25) at 5:00 p.m., in the College

Park Recreational Center.

Atlanta’s top male social clubs,

“The Amiketos” entertained their

The club colors, maroon and

very end. Upon entering, each

guest was presented maroon and

white ballpoint pens inscribed

“Club Amiketos 1947-60’’. Center-

ing the dance floor was the beau-

tiful electric fountain which is

traditional for this group of young

men. The club table was artistic-

ally decorated by member Frank

Williams and his lovely wife,

Louise, with maroon and white

through their activities. The gen-

eral attitude, however, seemed to

be one of ‘wait and see’, coupled

with the feeling that something

more than token or temporary

employment should be forthcom-

ing in both Negro neighborhoods

and downtown areas.

Among the comments given the

Inquirer reporter are the follow-

ing:

Mrs. P. Q. Yancey:

If the above reports are a true

statement of fact, it is encourag-

ing and indicates recognition of

the obvious fairness of affording

employment, at least to some ap-

preciable extent, to the people

whom it serves. The orderly pro-

tests which have sought to em-

phasize the need for such recog-

nition have been without malice

or selfish interest and are con-

cerned only with the human dig-

nity which dictates that no man

should spend his dollar to pur-

chase discrimination.

An Atlanta Businessman:

I don’t know if that will satisfy

the community completely. I

wouldn't like to say that it's suf-

ficient until I knew what their

policy was to be.

Reverend William Holmes

Borders:

The courageous, daring students

almost completely of themselves

have compelled financial power to

employ Negroes where most of

us thought it impossible. It isdisturbingly wonderful. We are

forced to give it to the students.

They are on the march to imple-ment democracy. We have no al-ternative but to support them.They should push for more ad-vances, but the time should bedecided.

OLYMPIC HIGHLIGHTSAn Inquirer “In Person” Report

No. 2 in a SeriesBy Hubie Jackson

President of The Extra-Point ClubThe Stadio Olympico recently

* built is one of the most modern

=

in Europe, if not the world. It is571 yards long and 150 yards wide.

It can contain one hundred thou-

sand people and reportedly can

be emptied in eleven minutes. It

is at the foot of Monte Mario, oneof Rome's many hills (ranging innumber from 7 to 23, depending

upon your tour guide). Within a

stone’s throw, is the Stadio Dei

Marmi (the marble stadium) with

a seating capacity of twenty thou-

sand, used by the athletes for

practice and warm-ups immedi-

ately prior to Olympic competi-

tion.

The Stadio Olympico is an

emerald jewel in a concrete set-

ting when viewed from the air. It

provided an excellent sports stage

for the most tension-packed mo-

ments of the greatest Olympiad

in history. Some of the super stars

of the Dramatis Personae of this

drama of athletic triumph and

tragedy world were:

1. ARMIN HARY, Germany,

~ reputed to have reflexes threetimes faster than the average

man. This enables him to get a

tremendous start and for 50 yards,

" he is probably the fastest man

*

alive. In fact, he broke twice in

the finals of the 100 méter but|was only charged with one vio-

lation, as the judges could not

determine in the first instance

whether he or Sime, U.S.A., was

responsible. Incidentally, in Olym-

pic competition, two false starts

eliminate a competitor. He is the

holder of the new Olympic Record

of 10.2 and co-holder of the World

Record of 10 seconds flat with

H. Jerome of Canada.

2. RAFER JOHNSON, USA,

former president of the student

body at UCLA, was the first Ne-

gro in the history of the games

to carry the American Flag in the

Olympic Parade. He won the

Decathlon, scoring 8,392 points,

for a new Olympic Record. He

again was accorded the title of

World's Greatest Athlete. He holds

the world’s record in the Decath-

lon of 8,683 points. Though pushed

to the limits of his physical en-

durance by K. C. Yang, of Na-

tionalist China (a buddy at

UCLA), his performance was re-

markable. The rules of the Olym-

pic games require the Decathlon

to be completed in two successive

days. The first day’s competition

was delayed in late afternoon

from two to three hours by a

cloud burst. These events were

not completed until nearly 11:00

P.M. under the lights. Too much

credit could not be given K. C.

Vang, who was second to Johnson

by a scant 55 points.

3. Russia’s R. SHAV LAKADZE

who won the high jump, setting a

new Olympic Record of 7° 1”

4. OTIS CRANDALL DAVIS,

U.S.A., who set an unbelievable

world record of 44.9 seconds in

the 400 meters. He is 28 years of

age with only two years of track

experience to his credit. He pacedhimself beautifully from last in

the back stretch to win by a hair

in a photo finish from Kaufman

of Germany, Europe’s best. When

the final decision was announced,Davis jumped up and down in un-

controllable joy like a yo-yo. This

Negro star from the University ofOregon was the only man on the

U. S. Track Team to win a flat

race. .

5. Australia’s incomparable

HERB ELLIOTT, undefeated in

his career in the mile or 1500

meter events, set a World's Rec-

ord in the 1500 meters of 3:35.56,

the approximate equivalent of a

3:52.6 mile.

6. LEE CALHOUN, U.S.A., who

though pushed to the utmost by

. a teammate, Willie May, won the

110 hurdles to repeat his Mel-

bourne triumph of 1956. Inci-

dentally, in this event, HAYES

JONES, USA, beat Martin Lauer

of Germany, co-holder of the World Record 13.2 with Calhoun,

for the Bronze Medal.

The Climax of this event was

to me one of the high points of

the Olympic competition. To stand

with a crowd of 80,000 at atten-

tion as the “Star Spangled Ban-

ner” was played, as three Amer-

cian Flags flew proudly at the

top of the stadium and then to

look back in the center of the

field and see three stalwart Negro

athletes standing at attention, rep-

resenting a clean sweep in this

event for the United States, was

to me an unmatched thrill.

AND

WILMA THE WONDERFUL

The outstanding stars mentioned

above and all the Olympic win-

ners were great in this toughest

of all Olympic competition. Their

performances will live at least

until the XVIII OLYMPIAD. How-

ever, there was one super star

who shone brightest in the galaxy

of a star-studded athletic firma-

ment. We refer to Miss Wilma

Rudolph, USA, a Junior at Ten-

nessee State A & I University.

Her exploits at Rome will be re-

told and remembered by track

fans for time immemorial.

To paraphrase Leigh Hunt's

well known poem, ABOU BEN

ADHEM:

. Wilma Rudolph (may her

tribe increase!)

Awoke one night from a dream

of peace . . .

And lo, Wilma Rudolph’s name

lead all the rest!If her dreams were peaceful, she

left her rivals with nightmares.

Prior to the start of the Wom-

en’s sprint competition, Wilma Ru-

dolph, USA, holder of the World's

Record for the 200 meters — 22.9

seconds, and Betty Cuthbert, Aus-

tralia, the winner of the 100 and

200 meter events in 1956 in

Melbourne, were co-favorites for

sprint honors. But from the mo-

ment Miss Rudolph tied the World

Record for the 100 meters (11.3)

in the semi-finals to her breath-

taking anchor leg in the final for

the women's 400 meters relay

five days later, she never looked

back — literally or figuratively.

This tall, lithe, brown skinned

beauty, was a symphony of form,

grace and speed.

A native of Clarksville, Ten-

nessee, she is the 17th child in

a family of 19. The fact that she

did not walk until she was 8 years

of age, a victim of childhood

polio, makes her performance the

more remarkable. Her mother

took her regularly for treatment

to Nashville, a distance of 45

miles from home. Coincidentally,

it does appear that ‘her tribe

may increase.” Ed Temple, her

coach at Tennessee State, and

coach of the U. S. Olympic Wom-

en’s Team, told me that her

youngest sister (the 19th child) a

high school student who is train-

ing with him in the summer,

shows as much, if not more, prom-

ise than Wilma did at that stage

of her track development.

To capsule her Olympic ex-

ploits, she competed in three

events for a total of 10 races in

six days. This included the heats,

quarter, and semi-finals and final

in the 100 meters. In addition to

tying the existing World Record

in this event in the semi-finals,

she did an incredible eleven flat

in the final for a new World Rec-

ord which, although dis-allowed

by a slight wind, has been resub-

mitted for approval, from infor-

mation I gathered in Rome. She

ran the heats, semi-finals and

final of the 200 moters. She is

holder of the World Record of

22.9 in this event and Olympic

Record of 23.2. She ran the anchor

leg in the heats, semi-finals and

finals of the Women’s 400 meter’relay which set a new World and

Olympic Record of 44.4. Not only

was she first in each of these ten

races, but she was never pushed.

Thus, it is an open question

among track fans all over the

world as to her ultimate in track

performance. Several of the

coaches with whom I talked are

of the opinion that she is capable

of 10.8 in the 100 meters, if chal- |

lenged. She is the first Woman |

Athlete from the U. S. to win |

three Gold Medals. The late

famed Babe Didrickson won two |

Gold Medals for the U. S. in 1932,

winning the hurdles and the jave-

lin. The only other woman in

Olympic history to win three

Gold Medals was the fabulous

Dutch housewife, Mrs. Fanny

Blankers Koen, who won three |

Gold Medals in 1948. Miss Ru-

dolph was also the first U. S.

Woman Runner to win the 200

meters dash.

The remarkable qualities about

Miss Rudolph, according to her

coach, teammates and those who

had contact with her in the Olym-

pic Village are her modesty,

poise, and gracious acceptance of

plaudits and requests for auto-

graphs and interviews. The fol-

lowing excerpts from a U.P.Lre-

porter at the games and Jesse

Abramson of the New York Her-

ald Tribune, whose coverage of

the games in the Rome Edition

was superb, give a realistic pic-

ture of her performance in the

games. U.P.1., John Marble Cook,

stated in part, “The shy, 20-year

old student from Tennessee, went

into her big event as calm as if

she were going out to mail a let-

ter. She ambled on to the track

wearing a little straw hat that

she has worn constantly since she

started racing. She adjusted her

starting block in her lane, slipped

out of her sweat pants and put

her hat on a bench and without

any expression at all, she took

her position with her long, bronze

legs poised for start . . .”

Jesse Abramson of the race it-

self: “In the final, Miss Rudolph

drewthe inside lane with her five

rivals in her full view, not that

Miss Rudolph needed that help

from the draw; she was much too

good for her opposition. This long,

There is no doubt in the minds

f track fans who follow the Olym-

nics that the superb performance

)f this Negro girl in winning three

sold Medals out of a total of 12

won by Americans, was a su-

preme effort which reestablished

American track prestige. There

was an air of quiet confidence

about Miss Rudolph, evidently

shared by her teammates, coach

and the manager of the American

Women’s Team, Mrs. Frances

Kaszabski of Cleveland, Ohio. She

stated two weeks before the

games: “the 100 meters and the

ver -Turner and Washington -

| the brim with action. These were

| two of the best high school foot-

[ ball games witnessed this season

and probably among the best to

be witnessed this year.

In the first game it was Turner

over Carver 20-0. This gamereally

upset the prep predicters, who

had expected Carver to rank

among the top three in the city.

Bobby Thornton opened the

game for Turner with a 28 yd run

and earned the first down of the

game. Thornton was not alone, for

his backfield buddies, the Smith

boys, were also full of fight. These

fellows took the fight to Carver

and never allowed them to relax.

These horsemen scored all 20 of

Turner’s points. Grover Smith, a

wonderfully agile player and an

sxcellent broken-field runner was

top ground gainer -for the Wolver-

ines with 179 yds, but the FB

Thornton, was close behind with

as impressive in yardage gained

but was a valuable man on the

PATs. Thornton was the first

scorer for Turner as Tomer Hill,

pered 15 yds to pay dirt.

they were no pushovers. Thomp-

jumped to an early lead. Their

first break came as a Washington

back fumbled on the Bulldog 30

fast back, Jesse Roundtree, did

the dirty work. The PAT failed.

Once again the Wolverines took

advantage of a mistake. Two

Late in the second quarter

Coach Baker played the first ace,

in the person of Elmore Goodson,

(the spitting image of Gene ‘Big

brought hope to the Washington |

Thompkins was not to be out-

done, as they called on their FB,Eugene Patterson to add six to

their score. The score was then

Thompkins 18, Washington 9. Ro-

bert Christopher, a Washington

rookie, caught a pass from QB

Danny Logan, and scampered 54

yds. At this point the other QB

Andrew Vaughn took over and

added a TD. Logan again passed

but this time to Allen making the

score Thompkins 18, Washington

The final score came as

Vaughn passed to Allen at the 15

yd line from which Allen scored

and Goodson added the PAT.

ADDED NOTES:

Allen saved the Bulldogs several

times. His most spectacular save

came as the Thompkin QB passed

into the end zone. Allen inter-

cepted and returned the ball to

the ten yd line. He also made sev-

Student Reports ChangeIn African Attitudes

Sgn

RICHARD 0. HOPE

Richard O. Hope, a Morehouse

College student from Nashville,Tennessee, was one of 181 Amer-

ican and Canadian students work-

ing in 10 African countries this

past summer. While in Africa,

Hope noticed that traditional at-

titudes held by Africans about

Americans and American Negroes

are subject to change.

His work group was received

very well, Hope reported, ‘‘after

we had proved that we were in-

terested in working with them.”

He remarked that during his first

weeks in Senegal, spent at the

Cite Universitaire, described by

him as ‘“‘a modern French struc-

ture,” the attitude of the African

students was “antagonistic to-

ward Americans. They seemed

leery of our democratic form of

government. After getting to know

each other as individuals, we be-

came very good friends.”

The major questions asked by

the Sengalese of the Americans

had to do with segregation in the

United States, the U-2 incident,

the Caryl Chessman case and theAlgerian situation. “They consid-ered America-to be one big South,” Hope said.

He also Irentioned that the Sen-=|.lar to Southern grits.

SY. 4-

galese students felt that the Amer-

ican Negroes were not proud of

their heiritage. However, Hope

reported, this attitude changed af-

ter association with other Amer-

icans.

Hope made the trip as a mem-

ber of Operation-Crossroads Af-

rica, an independent project sup-

ported by its student participants

and donations from interested in-

dividuals and private foundations.

The countries the students vis-

ited were Ghana, Togoland, Li-

beria, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Da-

homey, Senegal, Sierra Leone and

Guinea. Twenty-seven states and

five Canadian provinces were

represented by the students, who

came from more than seventy

colleges and universities.

The Reverend James H. Robin-

son, director of Operation-Cross-

roads Africa, established his head-

quarters in Accra. During the

summer he visited many of the

work camps.

Hope told the Inquirer that the |

purpose of the trip was to learn

about Africa and for Africans to

learn about America through liv- |

and playing to-|

gether. “Through this method of |ing, working,

personal contact, we experienced

a cross-fertilization of ideas and |

cultures which gave us a true |

understanding of another people,”

Hope continued. The more tangible |

purpose of the project was to aid |

in the development of Africa by |

building schools, roads, libraries, |

clearing fields, and helping in

furthering Africa’s medical prog- |

ress. Hope and his work group

completed one school and a two- | —

block road, and began construc-

tion of another school.

Teachers in our public school

system will be even more fa-

vorably disposed toward foreign

travel since a recent decision by

the Tax Court of the United

States recognizes the tax-deducti-

ble status of travel expenses in-

curred by a teacher. The interpre-

tation of Section 162 of the 1954

Code seems on firmer ground to-

day. Specifically, the following

clears up this point:

“Expenses for Education. (a)

Expenditures made by a tax-

payer for his education are de-

ductible if they are for educa-

tion (including research activi-

ties) undertaken primarily for

the purpose of:

(1) Maintaining or improving

skills required by the taxpayer

in his employment or other

trade or business or

(2) Meeting the express re-

quirements of a taxpayer's em-

plover, or the requirements of

applicable law of regulations,

imposed as a condition to the

retention by the taxpayer of his

The Tax Court's interpretation

of this section recognizes travel

I'd better introduce the person-nel in the MJT plus 3 before I

give you my ‘‘one-sided’’ opinions.

The group hails from Chicago.

The Modern Jazz Two means

Walter Perkins and Bob Cran-

shaw. The ‘plus Three’ is Harold

Thomas. These five pieces make

up a flaccid quintet of piercing

supposed-to-be-jazz musicians.

A few years ago, Sonny Rollins

composed a song called ‘De-

cision”, which was as funky and

soulful as Horace Silver's solo in

“Senor Blues.” Recently I heard

a song called “Sleepy.” It was

played by the MJT plus 3 and was

supposed to be an original. com-

posed by one of the members of

the group. If you have nothing

better to do tomorrow, go to your

favorite record shop and ask for

Blue Note 1542, a Sonny Rollins

recording featuring Donald Byrd

and Wynton Kelly. Then ask for

and listen to a Vee Jay recording

by the MJT plus 3, especially

“Sleepy.” If you don’t hear the

same thing, I'm insane.

I won't waste too much time

telling you about the sounds-like-

everybody -else - but-themselves-

group called the MJT plus 3. Here

are the things I dug and the things

I didn’t dig: The Wynton Kelly-

Bobby Timmons sounds of Mabern

are a slight drag. I heard him say

something once, so I'll leave him

alone. 0.K? The trumpeteris sick,

the alto saxophone sounds like it

was found under a pawn shop

counter, and the saxophonist plays

as though he were trying to get

it, he apparently forgot how to

play. Can Doug Hudson see why

he’s not in New York? When peo-

ple hear a jive altoist and forget

about Bird so long, they don’t

know what a real alto is like. Are

you there, Charlie Parker fans?

If so, have you heard Doug Hud-

son?

The drummer means well, but

I think he ought to get a rock &

roll gig.

O yeah, one more thing. I didn’t

6) It's Only a Paper Moon

Alfred Lion, the owner of Blue

Note Records. Inc., is probably

one of the hippest of all record

producers. He has now released

another good album. Lion has pre-

sented the most important jazz-

men in this era and is constantly

prognosticating the success of

musicians of the next era.

In “The Big Beat’, the beat is

big and more. Blakey displays

more rhythmic concepts than

Sonny Rollins might. Art puts

emphasis on the bass drum and

sock cymbal as Bud and Tatum

would emphasize their tactic runs.

Blakey's ryhthmic recipiency of

unison gives a group the inspira-

tion that formerly only Max of |

Klook would give.

People often say that his drum-

ming is too loud. No matter how

loud Blakey got. I would still get

knocked out.

PAGE EIGHT THE ATLANTA INQUIRER

| Who's Got The Blocs?The Inquirer | It would ill behoove the Southern

| managers and Northern owners toSpeaks(Continued from page one)

The results would seem to sug-

gest that our Negro voters did not

cast their ballots in blind and

reckless selfishness. Indeed, the

Atlanta Negro Voters League de-

serves the applause of all our

citizenry for the thought, time and

untiring effort it devoted to giv-

ing voters in every neighborhood

a chance to hear and see the can-

didates. On this score praise isalso due to the All-Citizens’ Voter

Registration Committee, the West-

side Voters League and other in-

dividuals and groups which playeda part in providing every possible

opportunity for informing the

electorate.

We sometimes wonder just what

it is the guardians of ‘local cus-

tom’ wish. Doubtless it would be

cozy enough for them if all of us

humbly bared our throats to the

sacrificial knife. Certainly it can-

not be denied that there are those

among us who still do just that by

failing to register, or refusing to

vote, or ordering by telephone

from stores which are being boy-

cotted on the basic issues of jobs

and human dignity. But surely it

cannot be expected in the year

1960 that all of us will con-

spire against ourselves in building

higher the Chinese Wall of ‘Local

Custom.’

New Process

piously deplore ‘blocs’ when they

themselves consitute one of the

most powerful anti-democratic

combines the Negro has ever had

to contend with. What else in-

deed, has the Negro known all his

days but the courteous or openly

hostile opposition of one ‘bloc’ or

another? They don’t ‘mean him

any harm” but all the while they

do a pretty effective job of ham-

stringing him. The politicians who

accept the votes but are strangely

inactive or impotent when the

practical questions of decent jobs

or equal treatment under the law

arise. The solid wall formed by

public and private officials when

the matter of training Negro in-

ternes and providing equal hospi-

tal status for Negro physicians is

at issue. And the role of the

church in helping, either by si-

lence or by open complicity, to

stiffen the wall of ‘local custom’

is so well known that even pro-

fessing Christians accept it as

they do the setting of the sun and

the appearance of the stars which

they claim to believe are declara-

tions of God’s glory and reminders

of His watchful Presence in the

Universe.

We do not for a moment deny

that the merchant, the politician,

the churchman, all have problem

— some of them very real and

very tough — which are fixed

deep in the foundations of ‘the

Southern way of life.” The fact

remains that despite all the blocks

which have been piled one on the

other to form the towering wall

of ‘local custom’, the trumpets

are about to blow. And most

Southerners know enough about

Jericho to guess what will happenthen.
