Challenging a remark by a southern newspaper editor that Negroes should operate on the basis of a “policy of compromise", the NAACP lea der declared that “no group of self-respecting citizens can subscribe to any program or support any organization that - embodies the philosophy or employs the techniques of compromise on basic citizen ship rights.” There may be occasions, he said, for “give and take on method” and “un der certain circumstances, and in a limited degree, on timing; but there cannot, there must not be, any compromise on the rights themselves.” If there is to be interracial cooperation towards integra tion, Wilkins asserted, “the whites will '^ve to bring to the conference table and the subsequent team-work a forth right and honest recognition of the Negro as a citizen, with all the rights pertaining to that status. This, unfortunately, all too few of them have done in the past.” “There are areas of the school question which reason able men on both sides can discuss and there are situa tions which can be resolved to the satisfaction of all concern ed provided the principle of non-segregation is accepted and movement toward the ob jective is begun,’’ the NAACP spokesman said. “But when governors and attorneys gene ral and a variety of citizens committees open theiv discus sions with ‘never, never’ lan guage, the door to cooperative action is slammed shut.” Negroes, too, have obliga tions in any program of in terracial 'cooperation, Wilkins pointed out. “Equality carries with it responsibility," he said. As the whole society becomes our society we must meet its challenges, hel^ to shape and maintain its standards, and bear our share of its burdens. It is a fact that discrimination is with us in many areas and will not be blotted out tomor row; but in combatting it we shall have to stop crying ‘wolf’ when there is no wolf, when the trouble is in our training, or behavior, our per sonalities, .or all three.” One of life’s simpler pro blems is finding people who will mind your own business.” ■ Kay Woodroofe e YEARS OLD 86 PROOF Old Settles QT r ^ Jf&fduci4/!Rive^^— ^ DiSTILLIRY_ E.

NAACPStudying Brutal Slaying Mississippi Boy NEW YORK Thurgood Marshall, head of the NAACP legal department, has assigned lawyers on his staff to gather all the acts in the brutal slaying of 14-year old Emmett Louis Till in Mississippi and to explore every possible angle for legal action. “We cannot afford to leave any stone unturned in our ef fort to secure justice in this case,” Mr. Marshall said. "But equally important is our re sponsibility to do everything humanly possible to prevent a repetition of this gruesome crime.” Meanwhile the NAACP con tinued its effort to arouse pub lic sentiment against the for ces in Mississippi which en couraged the development of a climate of opinion in which such a brutal insensate mudrer could be perpetrated.

Mmwit Lions, Rotary, KIwanis Urged To Include Negroes NEW YORK Local chapters of national business and professional clubs were urged this week to “prac tice democracy” by insuring that Negroes “who meet the standards of these clubs are in vited into membership.” Gloster B. Current, director of branches for the NAACP, noted that he has compiled in formation concerning the raci al admission policies of five na tional service clubs, upon the request of a white person who tried unsuccessfully to secure the admission of a Negro friend into one of these clubs in his community. Mr. Current said the national officers of four service clubs asserted the absence of any policy forbidding admission of Negroes into membership. These were Lions International Rotary Internatnioal, Kiwanls International and Optimist In ternational. The fifth, Echange International, did not reply to the-NAACP query, Mr. Current said.

NAACP WarnsOf Counter Measures By Race Consumers of Commodities NEW YORK In the first of a series of pro tests to producers of nationally distributed commodities whose local representatives have joined in the economic war fare against NAACP leaders and supporters in the South, Roy Wilkins, the Association’s executive secretary, warns of the possibility of countermea sures by Negro consumers and country. Informed that the area dis tributor of ESSO Standard Oil was seeking to revoke the franchise of a Negro station operator In Orangeburg, S. C., because he had signed a peti tion asking the local board of education to desegregate the schools, Mr. Wilkins wrote to the company’s headquarters in New York asking for an Inves tigation of the complaint. The boycott, the NAACP' executive pointed out, “is a dangerous two-edged weapon.

The NAACP is compiling a list of all national firms whose local representatives are par ticipating in economic repri sals against Negroes for de manding their civil rights. The list will be circulated among all NAACP imits and to co operating groups throughout the country. Reports received in the national office indicated that in some southern commu nities Negro consumers are al ready withholding their pa tronage from businesses whose owners and managers are identified with the White Citizens Councils and other hate groups in the South. /rto2)el LAUNDRY'CLEANERS 812 Washington Street 217 Foster Street PHONE 5171 NOW m mm ««■ cm Ik* Mmi 1Un*s hi in Rar Aa • - ^ U«U»OU5^*^ Mtoftaui Gni , Uvlac Oeete Ne Ne Ttk Avei UNk St. DV.

(Continued from Page Tl)ree) four active nme-year-olds ready for school at one time, the quads are' there when the bell rings. Credit for that goes to their nurse, Mrs. Charles Saylor, who has helped care for the little girls ever sincc they were bom. During the school year the children live with the Saylors, whose home is near their school, and it’s a busy place on school-day mornings! But each year, as the girls grow older, they take more responsibility abqui get ting ready for school and help ing each other, so It’s not m much of a job as it could be. One special ireasure the quads are wearing tp school, as they start the fourth grade, are the identification tags given them early this year by I^et Milk Company. When ther tiny quads were bom, their doctor recommended a Pet Evaporated Milk formula for them and they still drink Pet Milk exclusively. Like anyone else who has had a part in the remarkable record of the quads, the company is proud of their progress and delighted at the wonderful impression they make on everyone they meet. j WELCOME North Carolina College Class Of ^59 COMPLIMENTS ' OF ^^askixnt LADICS' OUTriTTCHS DIAL 4-6301 129 EAST MAIN STREET NO MONEY DOWN 3 denotations cho(Q8o Mqj(J)aq tmm TUXE TWO TUBS TO FAT Payments $1.79 P«r Week 1^ UbetJ' ^ We CHose Each Wednesday At 1:00 O'Cloek MONTGOMERY & ALDRIDGE PHONB flSS COBNEB MORGAN AND BIGSBEB STKESTS A COMPLEH: ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION .
