Spokesmen of the Nation^ Association lot the Advancement Of Colored People joined repre sentatives of other liberal groups in opposing a recommendation of a special Virginia legislative commission which would permit payment of tuition for instruc tion in segr^ated private schools. Before voting on the recom mendation, the Legislature held a two-day hearing, Nov. 30-Dec. 1, to give both sides an opportu nity to present their views. If, as now seems liltely, the Legisla ture approves the recommenda tion at this q>ecial session, a bill will be presented calling for a state-wide referendum on the issue of holding a convention to amend the Virginia Constitution to permit payment of tuition for attendance at private schools. Dr. E. B. Henderson, president of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP expressed the fervent hope that statesmen of the 20th Century now governing Virginia will not vote to retard public education which undoubt- Victim Of Latest Miss. Shooting Undaunted; Reign Of Terror Fails To Crush State NAACP Activity NEW YORK Upon his return from Missis sippi where he visited Gus Courts in the hospi^l at Mound Bayou, Gloster B. Current, di- iector of branches of the Nation al Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, Friday charged that ‘‘this latest attack upon an NAACP leader is a re sult of efforts of the White Citi zens Council of Belzoni to de prive all Negroes in that area of their voting rights.” Together with Medgar Evers, NAACP field secretary for Miss., Current visited Courts in the hospital room to which he had been femoved from Belzoni after he had been shot and critically wounded while working in his store on,November 25. A leader of the Belzoni branch of the NAACP, Courts refused to re move his name from the voting list despite threats and the assas sination, last May 7, of the Rev. George W. Lee. The clergyman was killed not far from the store where political gangsters shot through a window in an effort to Idll Courts who succeeded Rev. Lee as leader of the Negro community in. that town. Wilfcin* Asks FBI Intervention Previously, Roy Wilkins, exe cutive sec^etary, NAACP, re ceived assurance from Gov. Hugh White that he had “called on the sheriff and the district attorney to do everything possi ble to find parties guilty of shooting Gus Courts and to pro secute vigorously.” Willdns in an earlier telegram to the goveror said; “In view of recent events, failure to take positive action in this case will reflect further up on Mississippi and add to the in ternational embarrassment of the United States.” The NAACP leader also wired Attorney General Herbert Brow nell urging federal intervention in this case which, he charged, “fits the pattern of violence and murder in Mississippi openly de sign^ to deprive Negro citizens of their civil rights.” To Mound Bayou, the NAACP leader sent a telegram assuring the wounded man that “all of us at the national office together with millions of people all over the country are praying for your recovery. We are also pressing for the arrest and punishment of your assailants.” Reporting on his visit with Courts, Current said; “I was struck by this significant fact-he talked without emotion, bitter^ ness or rancor about the incident and whether or not it would be safe for him to return after dis charge from the hospital.” A DELIGHTFUL GIFT TO PLEASE HER Get Them Early And 5ove Beautiful Colored Dolls The New Walking DoU ^^'" W,hich Really WeXk». n.

The commission’s proposal was branded “illegar’.by Oliver W. Hill, of the NAACP legal staff in Virginia. “The actions presently urged upon you by persons, many of whom ar^ racial fanatics, is predicted upon superstitions and myths having no basis in reality or fact,” he asserted. “If you succumb to the hue and cry raised in certain quar ters of the Commonwealth by tbose who have no faith in de mocracy, public education or anything else that makes'demo cracy meaningful to the ordinary person,” he told the legislators, “then you will have cast the die characterizing yourselves as pet ty politicians." SATUBDAT, DEC. 1$, 195S THS CASOUNA TIMBS School Paper J^rojed Launched NAACP To Press Issue Of Jim Crow Delegates At White House Confab WASHINGTON, D. C. penses to delegates from states Negro Vote Redufed 'The campaign of intimidation conducted by the White Citizens Council “‘has succeeded in redu cing the number of qualified Ne gro voters in Humphreys Coun ty, of which Belzoni is the seat, from 400 down to 8 or 10,’’ Cur rent reported. Courts and two other men or ganized the Belzoni branch of the NAACP in 1953. Membership reached a peak of 122 the follow ing year. Despite pressures. Cur rent points out, Ihe bra»ch now has a membership of 82. Before leaving the wounded man, the NAACP spokesman as sured him that the Associaticm would take care of his hospital and medical bills and give him such other assistance as he may need to get back on liis feet. Current also stopped in Mem phis to talk to C. E. Piper, the agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in that area. At least one of the FBI agents sent to investigate the case, the NAACP was later in formed, was a Fississippi Delta man. 1 “Unless the FBI sends agents in from the outside who wt diligently investigate the and the tie-up between the mui der of Rev. Lee and the assault upon Coats with tHe Conspiracy to deprive Negroes of their right to vote, this latest incident will result in another frustrated in vestigation and glorified white wash,” Current charged.

M SBOH Clarence Mitchell, director of the Washington Bureau of the National Assooiation for the Ad vancement of Colored People, has notified the White House Conference on Education that he Intends to pursue further the question he raised at the opening session of the three-day confer ence which closed here today. Despite efforts to avert any discussion of the explosive issue of segregation, the NAACP re presentative succeeded In taising the issue by questioning the le-' gality of payment of travel ex penses to delegates representing “states which by acts of their le gislatures are in defiance of the Supreme Court’s ruling school segregation.” The matter was refesred to the Department' of Health, Educa tion and Welfare whose general counsel, Parke M. Banta, ruled that travel costs could be paid to “official delegates to the White House Conference from states which have announced that they will not comply with the Su preme Court’s ruling on segrega tion.” ■ Protesting this ruling, Mitchell pointed out that his question specifically mentioned states which had taken legislative ac tion to prevent desegregatiort aS Carolina, Georgia, Louisi- and Mississippi, all of which chargac^, “have acted to defy e Government of the United States.” Iu,a letter to Clint Pace, di rects of the Committee for the WhitkHousflWConference on Edu- catfon, MitcheU inquired* whe ther Banta had read “any of the state legislation referred to be fore making’’ his ruling. He ask ed for the complete text of the Banta ruling “because further action will be taken on the ques tion” of payment of travel eX' whose legislatures have passed laws in defiance of the Supreme desegregation order. Thurgood And Wilkins Attend Education Talks WASHINGTON, D. C.
