Roy Wilkins Calls For Support Of Anti-Bias Amendments
URGESMEASURETOPREVENTUSE
OF FUNDS FOR BIASED SCHOOLS
NEW YORK
In the face of' Praddent
Eisenhower’s reiterated oppcwi-
tion to aoli-aegrtgatioa amend-
menta to congressional blUa,
Roy Wilkins, executive secre
tary of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of
Colored People, calls for in
clusion of such an amendment
to the school construction bill.
In a letter to Representative
Adam Clayton Powell (D,, N.
Y.) who introduced the anti
segregation amendment to the
military reserve training bill,
Mr. Wilkins expressed the con
viction that the President’s
pronouncement at his July 6
preas conference “will not de
ter you from your intention to
introduce an appropriate anti-
segregation amendment to the
school aid biU in the House.”
Assuring the New York con
gressman of full NAACP sup
port. Mr. Wilkins said that
some measure to prevent the
use of federal funds to build
Jim Crow schools is 'essential
in view of the “open defiance”
of certain southern politicians
who “have announced that
they will operate their schools
as they have done in the past-
on a racially segregated basis.’’
The President, the NAACP
leaders asserted, “whether he
realizes it or not..iias joined
thu' group whose operation
may be fairly describM as a
congressional flanking move
ment with the objective of
evading the Supreme Court
ruling."
"To assert in the face of this
pTntp outline that an amend
ment is ‘extraneous’ is to close
one’s eyes to realities, political
and moral,” tSx. Wilkins de
clared. “There are hundreds of
precedents in Congress for Jan-

I have a suggestion to make
to these Negroes who keep
:Siying, “We are not ready.” If
;you feel you are not ready,
(you are although you do not
3mow it) just say, "I Am Not
Seadyl” Thus, you will spare
your children and others from'
the poisonous fulmlnations of
guage in appropriation bills di
recting the allocation of funds.
When, as in this case, there is
a ruling on coi)stitutionality
from the Supreme Court, the
inclusion of such direction in
the legislation would seem to
be imperative, unless the fede
ral government knowingly
wishes to subsidize non-coHi-
pliance with its own Supreme
Court."
Texas Univ. To
Admit Negroes
HOUSTON, Tex.
The Texas Board of Regents
has already moved to admit
Negroes to its entire Univer
sity of Texas by fall of 1956.
The Regents voted to end se
gregation in the University’s
Graduate School at Austin this
fall but it will end it in all un
dergraduate courses next year.
Negroes had been attending
graduate classes only if the
same program of study was not
available in Negro institutions^

pride and iniecure feelings. No
one needed to ask them ques
tions. These two friends rushed
ahead in loud dialogue between
them. “That big so-and-so. I’d
like^to punch his head.”
“He’s too dumb to have a
head.” It would have continued
until they had re-established
their seU-ac6eptance, but Jer
ry’s father interrupted—“All
right, start at the beginning.
TeU us what happened.”
With both boys talking at
once, the following incident
was pieced together. The jun
ior high departmen: was hav
ing its closing exercises. ’The
assistant was making a special
announcement. Two of the ju
nior liigh girls sitting ahead of
us were having difficulty try
ing to slip their arms into their
coats, which were hanging over
the backs of their chairs. (Nei
ther boy told of his delight in
holding their coat sleeves. We
were trying to help them.
(That’s when the accident oc
curred, for the girls had dis
covered the cause of their dif
ficulty and thrilled with the
attention they were getting.
They started giggUng and the
boys were enjoying their suc
cess. ) As they puUcd their
coats over their shoulders,
their books and jiink dropped
on the floor. May Lou’s purse
opened and stuff jingled all
over. It made quite a noise, so
everyone laughed. (These four
had found it especially funny.
Now the entire department
was aware of their presence
and"'in an uproar.) Because
the group didn’t quite down
quiclUy enough, the leader (a
person in authority) ordered
us to leave. We hadn't done
anyttiing, so we didn.'t go. We
just sat there. (Their pride
was deeply hurt^TTiey were
publicly made to appear as
little children not acceptable
to the group. No one of the
four started to go, so now
they were united and defying
authority.) When we were
told the second time, one of
the other fellows spoke up for
us and asked that we stay.
(They had support from their
group—the leader was defeat
ed.) After the service, we
were going to tell him what
had happened, but he walked
right past us without even
looking in our direction.
(Now they were insecure and
confused. They couldn’t pic
ture tl^r place in the school
ia the days ahead.)
