The annual report of Tuske-
gee Institute guaging tita pro
gress of race relations in the
South described developments
in this area during 1956 as "a
most encouraging expression of
the vitality of American demo
cracy.”
n>e report, established in
1913 and issued annually, was
released tills week by Pruldent
L. H. Fostex.
Until a few y^u^ ago, the re
port took form of an account ot
lynchlngs which had occured
during the year. However, the
decreasing incidence of this
type of racial violence prompted
the report authorities to discard
lynchlngs as a guage of the pro
gress of race relations and the
report lias since gone imder the
name of RaceB^tlcms in the
Soutti. ' ■
"A new order of business for
race relations is emerging In the
'Sontb-as a rendt of tfae TBmor

written taito law,” the report as
serts.
"Race relations in the South
in 1956 may not be measured
by acts of obstruction by segre
gationists or by the aggressive
moves of the desegregationlsts.
The situation may be judged
more accurately by asserting the
degree of general orderliness in
activities affecting race rela

violence, desegregatl^ actlvl

tive war against the NAACP,
according to • Jerry Sadler of
East Texas who anqounced last
week that he would Introduce
two antl-NAACP bills in the
next session of the Texss Legis

Asserting that he will Intro
duce the measures “the first day
tttat bills are accepted In the
House of Representatives, the
Texas legislator expressed the
hope that “a majority of the
House and Senate will join me
in sp(M)soring them.”
In addition to tlie antl-^
NAACP bills, which will be the
first to be introduced in the
Texas l^(islature in r
yean, Rep. Sadler will Intro
duce nine other bills aimed to
preserve school sefpregation. Tfie
latter are the outcome of pro
posals of the Texas Advisory
Committee on Segregation in
