and committees at all levels

While seeking to “pre
serve the present good rela

... we respectfully request
our state leaders and agencies
not to ask us to do those things
which would destroy our in
fluence with our own people;”

one standard — to remove as
soon as possible from the lives
of our children, both Negro
and white, those severe penal

because of an inadequate and
segregated system of educa
tion,'’ and
6. “The only solutioa to the
school problem that Miss
issippi can mordily and finan
cially afford, and at the same
time will meet the approval
of the ViUted States Supreme
Court, is to consolidate and in-
iategrate the present schools
on all levels and then equal
ise and expand within the
framework of consolidation
and integration. After these
schools have become consoli

given for postponing receiving
bids prior to last July 21, when
bids were originally scheduled
to be received, Coltrane told a
reporter following NCC’s hear
ing beford the State Advisory
Budget Commission on July 28;
“We must economize in every
instance in order- to keep from
reducing salaries of teachers
and other employees. It was
necessary for us to revert all
surpluses, or unallocated bal
ances, in all departments in or
der to have a balanced budget
for the 1954-55 year”.
Coltrane explained the rea
sons for postponing the bid let
ting to a reporter after NCC’s
budgetary hearings. The bud
get officer also said the action
"was in no way influenced by
the Supreme Court’s ruling
against «egregation in the
schools.”
On July 28, the Advisory
Budget Conrmiission heard Dr.
Elder request $1,713,731 for
two new buildings and a mo
dem underground electric and
telephone system.
The buildings included a
dormitory for senior and gradu
ate women to cost an estimated
$S21,263. The cost of the under
ground electric system was
quoted at $176,100.

Former Olppic
Runner On Local
Business Tour
Prior to the week when most
of Durham’s population will be
engaged in discussing business
problMs and their solutions,
a noted businessman is visiting
various establishments in the
city promoting sales for the
Pabst Brewing Companyi The
person referred to is Herb
Douglass of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Douglas has been working
throughout the southeastern
states with the Pabst Company
for the past four years. He at-
tended the University of Pitts
burgh where he received his
B.S. and Master of Education
degrees. Probably known more
widely for his athletic achieve
ments, Mr. Douglas was the first
Negro to play football at Pitts
burgh University in 1945 under
Clark Shaughnessy.
As a former track man, the
young salesman represented his
school at the Olympic Meet in
London, England in 1948, and
placed third in the event. He
has also won titles for the 100
yard dash and the running
broad jump.
His present job consists of
coordinating programs between
the distributors and the Negro
market, handling taste promo
tions, and arranging banquets.
It was during the process of ar
ranging a banquet several years
ago that Mr. Douglass had the
opportunity to work with Larry
Doby, noted big league baseball
player, who works in the field
during the winter months.
Following his stay in Dur
ham, Mr. Douglas will move on
to Greensboro and other citi^
in the State.
