Miss Frances Witherspoon, now of Brewster, N. Y., asserted In an open letter to the New York Times that the subcommit tee hearings were “heavily load ed with Southerners” of “barely concealed antl-lntegration bias.” She observed in her letter that “the long years of poverty, slum living and unequal educa tional and social opportunity to which most of our Negro child ren have l)een condemned by the very race responsible for their existence on this continent more than explains whatever differences (In the schoolroom) may exist" Miss Witherspoon’s message to the Association said, in part; “One can only hope that those are right who contend that all this violence in the South—and no less the so-called ‘legal’ campaigns of the arch-enemies of democracy—are in reality but the last desperate stand oi those who know In their haarts that defeat is Imminent, that long-delayed Justice for th« Na- gro is near at hand.” BISHOP J.
