It seem* tlud ad, oi m • all, oi these
officials have been polite and urbane, but
none of them want lo do anything to
bring about the enforcement of the letter
and spirit of the ConstDution of North

the duty and respnsibility of registrars.
They all. whenever they can be found,
imply that nothing can be done by any
higher authority to require registrars to
register Negroes who are qualified undet

One of the great difficulties exper

NOTHING SETTLED YET
So* ei'ior Court Judge Grady ,ion-suited
the Ilex. Mi'. Pridgen’s case against tin
Carolina Coach Company on the ground
that the dispatcher who had Mr. Pridgen
arrested was acting beyond his authority
as a representative of his employer, and
there!oic the employer could not be held
liable tor damages. There was .some ques
tion as to Judge Grady's conclusion, con
sidering \w mis circumstances, one of
v, htch of course is that the dispatchei
was probably following the company’s
orders.
Bn* the North Carolina Supreme Court
upheld Judg< ' ady, and went him one
belter. Toe Superior Court judge did not
rule on whether or not the attempt to
force Mr. IVMgen to change his seat on
the bus wa- in violation of thy principle
established >v the ldoted State Supreme
Court in x e celebrated Morgan case. Our
North i. ... ina high court did go into
1h ,i matter, however, and '■ i effect re
versed the derision of the Id S. Supreme
Court, -nr so it would appear to a humble
layman unequipped to deal with the in
tricacies of )o.gal reasoning.
As reported in t h e daily press;, our
State Supreme Court, in a case which a!-
rm L exactly parallels the Morgan case,
held that requiring a Negro to take a

to intrastate passengers, or the rules of

interpretation of the - 'up) < Court of
the United States in ac: *e lying in
terstate commerce.
Another peculiarity in the :*th Carolina
court’s decision is that it. he'd that Pridgen did
not offend by committing “disorderly conduct,”
and that he should not have been taken to the
City Hall and placed under bond. The question
is. what should lit* have done, or what should

PHtVATE NEGRO COLLEGES AT THE CHOSS-ftOADS
It. is fervently to be hoped that the presidents <»/ the par
ticipating colleges of the United Negro College fund were not
high pressured by the higher-ups as has been recently alleged.
It is furthei hoped that our educators did not take to cover as
has been intimated.
Even the casual student of interracial affairs knows how
easily Negroes who try to cooperate with whites are suspected
and this is that drives a large sector of Negro thought to minimize
and disparage all interracial efforts. These Negroes east sus
picion upon all interracial effort:; except their own. It becomes
all the more understandable that certain moral stamina and
convictions are necessary when dealing with a matter as vital
, s that of the establishment of regional schools for Negroes of
ga aduate aspirations.
Even more regrettable than an attempt to high-pressure the
Negro college presidents would be their failure to ‘come-clean’
on the matter. If a regional graduate school is established for
Negroes in suite of their opposition, nobody will blame the
Negroes just as no intelligent person blames southern Negroes
from living in a segregated economy. When segregation is
forced upon one against one’s will and efforts it is no disgrace
to those who are its victims.
Segregation becomes a reproach to Negroes only when they
accept it without protest and resentment, cither inner or outer.
From the very beginning of the regional school talk this column
has strenuously objected to the plan and its implications. But
then are tunes when an educator must have convictions and
act upon those and that such times may coincide with another
United Negro College fund drive need not make much difference.
Some years ago efforts were made to launch among white
friends a financial campaign, in Richmond, during the presi
dency of Dr, William John Clark The organisation had been
perfected and workers had been assigned their several duties
and the kick-off was impending, when of a suffen we are re
liably informed, one of the workers arose in the meeting and
interrogated President Clark thus: “Dr Clark, do you believe
in segregation?" Whereupon President Clark replied sharply in
the negative. He was on the spot, whre he might have talked
a bit without saying anything, until he got. himself together. But
he spoke what was upon his heart and would not back down.
The campaign did not materialize but through the years I
have admired the man and his courage Virginia Union missed
some money but it gained what is even more important, a certain
self respect. After the aforementioned incident, President Clark’s
financial way was hard and so was Virginia Union’- but its
head is still above the water Better a thousand times not to
have a United College fund than to have it at the expense of a
race’s pride and manhood.
, Before me lie.< a statement made by the representatives of
the land-grant colleges before the senate committee. They met
the issue squarely and left no doubts in the mind of the committee
where they stood on the regional school plan. If the land
grant college presidents who must serve at the will of southern,
whites can speak up there is no reason why the presidents of the
private college cannot take their stand come what may. The
regional school may be forced upon the Negroes, but it certainly
will not be the fault of the presidents of the land-grant colleges.
This whole matte of accepting or declining the, 'negidfeal
se* up brings into sharp focus the question of bow much will
Negroes invest in their opposition to segregation. Perhaps, after
all, ;r we supported more adequately our private colleges, out of
our own funds, our college presidents would have less reason
;n quail before the challenge such as was allegedly thrown to
to them recently in New York. Booker T. Washington saw clearly
50 years ago that "back talk" without something to back it up
amounts to little more than sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.
The Negro private college is at the cross-roads and if we are
in dead earnest about relief from seeregation and the burdens
■thereof we must make up -out minds to pay our way.
“Richard -Allem/ation” of this race is imperative' Let’s go all
out in support of the United Negro College fund campaign.
