NAACP'S Executive Secretary, Roy Wiiidns, Reviews
Course Of Events In Race Relations During Year
By Roy Wllkina
Executive Secretary,
AwoclatloB for the Advaace-
ment of Colored People
NEW YORK
The continuing process of ra
cial desegregation despite hard
core resistance in some South'
em states was the notable de
velopment on the race relations
front in 180&. ,
Highlighting this process and
directly related to it were four
- other outstanding events of the
year; (a) the dramatic and ef
fective mass protest against se
gregated seating in buses in
Montgomery, Ala.; (b) the ef'
forts of certain Southern states
to ban or cripple the activities
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People by means of special state
laws and court injunctions; (c)
the return in significant num-
bm of Negro voters to the Re
publican party in the presiden
tial election; and (d) the re-
•tudy and reevaluation of the
segregation issue in northern
communities.
The desperate measures adop
ted during the year by “die
hard” states to lialt desegrega
tlon are testimony to the pro
gress being made and to the re
cognition that compliance with
the Supreme Court rulings is In-
evltabl«.
Sonthem Negroes Undaunted
In 1956 Negro Americans in
the South gave further proof to
that revealed in 1954 and 1955
that they will not be intimidated
by economic reprisals, threats of
'Molence, or violence Itself. They
d^d firmly today in their de-
ifiand that they be permitted to
^oy thctir citizenship rights
in accordance with the guaran-
taes of the Constitution.
The Montgomery protest dra-
ntotized this stand and the Su
preme Court opinion outlawing
bus segregation won'by NAACP
attorneys made desegregation a
rsality in that city.
On the other hand, large seg
ments of the white population
of the South have been intimi
dated and at the present time
do not dare io dissent In any tie-
(Tee from the position taken by
albble-rousers reinforced by the
-Wuuauna.
States Move Against NAACP
. One state, Virginia, has en
acted a law.denying freedom of
speech through its prohibition
of aovocaty ut integration. Aia-
biuna, tiouisiana and Texas have
secured injunctions in state
courts which prevent the
NAACP from holding meetings,
-iUlktlting mwnbers,. collecting
list for Congressiohal action.
With this protection, Negro and
white citizens of the South
cou^^ handle many of their pro
blems at the local and state le
vels.
Forced To Seek Federal Aid
The Negro has no objection to
the states rights doctrine as long
as he has a voice in the conduct
of state business. Until he se
cures such a voice, lie will con
tinue to seek Federal action and
in the North he will use his vote
increasingly against a system or
a party that operates In such a
way as to deny him his rights—
The struggle in the South ser
ved to arouse new interest in
and action against longstanding,
extra-legal racial discrimination
and segregation in the North.
In New other north
ern citt^efi)rts were renewed
to eliminate de facto segrega
tion in the a^oois, to enlarge
opportunities for Negro school
teachers, to curtail job discrimi
nation by employers and t#ade
unions, and to level the barriers
which restrict freedom of resi
dence for Negro citizens.
The Negro knows that state-
imposed segregation is dead
even though certain elements
are struggling furiously to re
vive It. During 1957 and suc
ceeding years hi' will employ
all possible' approaches and
tecluiiques to attain his objec
tive of first class citizenship.

fluids, or conducting organized
activity of any nature.
These restrictions upon con
stitutional liberties threaten
white Americans as well as Ne
groes and should receive atten
tion from all citizens who wish
America to remain free.
.Our feet, as a nation, have
more than a trace of clay if we

for freedom while we passively
igpore the denial of freedom to

c4re to see, that Negro citizens

dwnlnance of the Southern
wing over the Democratic party

alter y'ear, that no civil rights
l«Kl*lBtion shall be enacted by
tijfe Congress.
Vote Switch Indicative
.iMegro voters are tired of the
filibuster in the Senate and tlie
rule which makes it possible.
They were disgusted with the
manifesto through which South-
•i^ Congressmen and Senators
dtfed the Supreme Court ru
ling in the public school segre-
gi^on eases. They resent the ef
forts of certain Southern states,
wholly controlled by E>emo-
crats, to defy the Supreme
Cdurt and to force Negro child
ren to accept inferior education.
At the same time, by refusing
to-, return completely to the Re-
pidalicans, and by voting for
UbMvl candidates of both par
ties for the Congress, Negro vo-
ten served notice that they ex
pect the Republic/m administra
tion to use its Federal powers to
prptect their rights, and that
th^y expect the Congress to pass
adeqtiate civil rights legislation.

NEW YORK
Behind any successful perfor
mer is a telent agency and tO'
day the Gale agency is consider
ed by many Negro stars as int'
portant to their financial suc
cess as the Wright Brothers
were to th^ airplane. Founded
in 1940 by Tim Gale, who Itad
been bandleader Chick Webb’s
road manager, the firm has dis
covered, groomed and built over
25 sepia stars into a 92 percent
income bracket.
While traveling with Wei>b,
who was mainaged by his older
brother, Moe, Tim was amazed
at the poor bookings that Negro
I>erformers had to accept when
on tour and which saw many ot
them getting as low as $50 per
night. After talks with Moe he
opened offices on Weat 48th
Street with Webb, Ella Fitz
gerald, Cab Calloway and the
original Ink Spots as his first
clients.
£)ince tiiat day the one-room
office has grown into an entire
floor with a big interracial staff
who talks daily to every corner
of the world with niteclub, thea
tre and ballroom operators.
Among the names under con
tract to the ageAcy are Sarah
Vaughan, Erskine Hawkins,
Illinois Jacquet, Buddy John
son, Roy Hamilton and Arthur
Prysock. This is only a partial
list of the 75 dancers, singers,
ceincdians anU bands they Liook
into clubs from Harlem’s Baby
Grand cafe to the Oasis in Los
Angeles.
Unaffected by the success of
the agency and the pattern of
-tllSt TUOS
every phase of the business from
road managers to secretaries in
his office, Tim Gale says that
he’s just interested in a client’s
talent and not his color or race.
But what he 1b mostly interes
ted in is finding and scouting
new talent. It isn’t nothing for
him to leave his office and fly
1500 miles to hear a new singer
or band that someone has,
phoned him about. After he gets
them under contract the next
big step is guiding the embryo
stars’s career until they become
a big headliner.

The attorney, symbolic of the
entire Negro race, is preparing
to leave the court with the vic
tory won.
“We should start the New
Year right,” Jamerson and Gor
man wrote in the accompanying
editorial. “The Negro at last
has come into his own.
“While bigotry and intoler
ance will no doubt run rampant
in both north and south of our
nation for years to come, never
theless, it will be foolhardy for
intelligent people in any sec
tion of the nation to further at
tempt to deny equal rights to
the Negro. The ignorant will

First class citizenship for all
citizens of America was the
note of the 43rd annual session
of the Omega Psi Phi Frater
nity opened at Morgan College,
here Wednesday and closed
Sunday.
From the beginning of the
first session when Grand Basilus
Herbert 2. Tucker, Jr., made his
opening statement that the con
ference would declare war on
those who would turn back the
clock in America and those who
would keep persons behind the
iron curtain. s
Dr. James Nabrit, Howard
University, spol/e of how ab
surd for the white people of
America to seek to break down
the law. He said that if there
was any human being on earth
who needed tl^e^ protection of
law and order, it was the white
man in America. “Any break
down of law would certainly be
detrimental to the white ntian
in America. He then would have
the poor of his race to fight and
certainly would not be able to
maintain his position if there
was no law. The Howard educa
tor also warned Negroes that
they must prepare thems^ves
for that freedom that they so
freedom would destroy them.
Attorney Fred Gray told of
the stiffness of the southern
white man in his efforts to cir
cumvent the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court.
He had a ray of hope and urge
continued non-violence, with a
faith in God and hope in the
liberals of the country.
The Rev. Martin Luther King,
who received the 1956 award as
the outstanding citizen of the
year, called upon members of
the fraternity to keep moving,
with their hands in God’s hand
and their eye upon first class
citizenship. He warned against
the small progress mad eand
asked that no one think or at
tempt to believe that the bat
tle had been woii.
Pay Boosts In
Textiles Equal
New Industries
RALEIGH
The negotiated and voluntary
wage increase granted recently
in the North Carolina textile hi-
dustry, which amounts to a pay'
roll increase of some $36,000,
000 aimually, is the equivalent
of more than 12,000 new indus
trial jobs.
This was pointed out this
week by State Lalwr Commis
sioner Frank Crane, who said
the cuirent average wage in all
Tar Heel manufacturing plants
amounts to about $2,820 per
year. Based upon this average
wage, said Commissioner Crane,
the recent tertile wage increase,
is about the economic equiva
lent of more than 12,000 new
jobs hi industry.
“North Carolina’s 227,000
textile workers averaged $1.84
an hour in September,” said
Crane. "Following the wage in
crease, their average earnings
climbed to $1.38 per hour in
October an(^~$l-4^~te November,-f
for a net |!ain of eight cents an
hour—or'six per cent—j^ver the
two-month period.*
“The importance of the tex
tile wage hike to the State’s
economy may not be fully ap
preciated if it is interpreted
solely in terms of this average
increase of eight cents an hour,”
Crane continued.
“However, no one could fail
This Year Best
For Employment
In State's History
RALEIGH
North Carolina is expected to
experience its best employment
year in history ip 1957, Henry
E. Kendall, chairman of the Em
ployment Security Commission,
said today.
He said it is likely more
North CarolirJans will be hold
ing non-farm Jobs in 1957 than
ever before.
“Employment-wise for the
North Carolina worker, it is be
lieved that the year 1957 may
be the best year ever,” Kendall
stated. He noted that in many
areas in the nation a close bal
ance exists between the labor
supply and labor demand while
North Carolina has a “plentiful”
labor resource.
“More and more industries
will become interested in our
great trainable labor resource,”
Kendall said.
During the past fiscal year.
North Carolina’s total payrOU
for firms covered by the Em
ployment Security Law increas
ed by 14.6 percent over the pre
vious year, he said.
Gross wages paid by these
firms in fiscal 1955-56 came to
$2,430,000,000. This represents
a gain of $310,000,000 over the
previous year’s total of $2,120,
000,000.
Part of this gain resulted
from an extension of the law to
cover firms employing fdur or
more persons in 20 weeks. Prior
to January 1 of this year, only
firms employing eight or 'more
persons in 20 weeks were liable
under the law.
At the end of this year some
29,000 firms wUl be covered by
the law as compared to 17,527
at the end of 1955, Kendall ex
piated. Some 1,040,000 indivi
dual workers are now covered
by the law.
But KendaU also noted that
increased, employment and
higher wage rates were major
factors in the total growth.
Average weekly e’jmings dur
ing the second quarter of this
year amounted to $59.56, over
$2 higher than last year’s $57.26
average.
