Services baseball teams were
2 Negro play er s, Sergeant
Sampson and Bennett. This
team is a member of (he Ra
leigh Recreation league and
has been playing on a field
owned by the city, located in
the northern section of the
city. According to information
furnished this column, the 2
Negro soldiers were recently
told they could not play any
longer because the head of
the Raleigh recreation depart
ment had informed the Army
official in charge of such ac
tivities here that this city
did not allow any programs
or sports activity tha! involv
ed mixing Negroes wsih
whites.
According to this same inform
er. the Army accepted this order ■
from the recreation department j
on the grounds that it had to;
comply with all civilian laws j
whenever it operated outside of
military reservations.
It was further revealed that the
Army does not sanction and pro
mote such sports activities purely
for the sake of sport. The activi
ties a»e a 'part of the overall phy
sical fitness program designed
primarily to help keep Armv
pf»-.-.<rr>7V' : in lon oonrl'l urt Or. Ar
my installations where routine
duties would prevent the men
from becoming scale, sports are
largely promoted as a means of
relaxation. However, civilian com
ponent duties such as the Army
detail here must perform, there is
very little opportunity for these
men to obtain any bodily exer
cises, thereby making off-duty
games a vital necessity..
Yet these men, engaged in
the important task of helping
to process men to defend
merica, must be denied access
to (he freedoms the Army is
supposed to defend, because
there arc people who object
so strongly to equality for Ne
groes that they will slop at
nothing to prevent it. This
sordid story has been related
in detail as another example j
of the viciousness of the lie
that segregation is a good
thing.

A statement by Gov. Hodges
last Saturday during hie defense
of his anti-compliance session i
follows: 'Because North Carolina!
has been decent, don’t think she
does not. think, strongly on this
subject.'
Any person interested in law
knows that everything this state
has done and plane to do is ini
direct conflict with the U. S. Su
preme Court's integration man-,
dates, will star, d amazed at the
governor’s interpretation of the
word "decent . There should not
be any amazement because of the
Implied threat in that statement.
While addressing a group of Ne
gro,, teachers at Shaw University
last;winter, Mr. Hodges threaten
ed them with the closing of all
public schools unless they accept
ed his "voluntary segregation”
myth,
Americans interested in free
ing this country from the dis
grace of segregation and discri
mination, and every real Ameri
can must be. can take new hope 1 ,
because of the temper Congress
revealed so far.
Last week, the House of Repre
sentatives passed the Powell a
mendrnent prohibiting the use of
Federal funds for schools con
struction in .states maintaining
segregated schools. This week the
U. S. Senate confirmed the nomi
nation of Simon E. Sobeloff as
i judge of the 4th Federal Cir
:uti Court of Appeals. Both of the
actions were taken despite tire
die-hard opposition of southern
segregationists. It is to be re-'
membered that Mr. Sobeloff a
roused the ire of southerners', be
cause as Solicitor General of the
U. S. Department of Justice, he
successfully argued the case of
the government against' -segrega
tion before the U. S. Supreme
Court.
Be it also remembered that
both Sen. Erwin and Sen. Scott, of
this state, fought his nomination
as judge.

tion. t
Rodman said the election date i
would be contingent upon a short 1
special session and a decision by S

The attorney general also said that i
he believed the General Assembly c
could call the election but in view
