body in this state subscribe to
his threats to close the public
schools unless Negroes “volun
teer” for segregation, had to be
answered by this state’s law-abid

That answer has been made by
a group who wields more power
than all of the rabid segregation
ists, the mothers of the children

PTA in Greensboro, the presi

speed” it must be ended,
Mr. Hodges in a follow up
speech tried to befuddle the PTA
assembly by telling it that the
Supreme Court did not order de

pattern of double talk attempted
to make the PTA believe that
school integration was not ever,
contemplated in the 1.954 decision
of that court, Back in Raleigh,
