ed. As a matter of fact, she pro
bably thinks the Durham police
men are some of the best and
most polite in the country.
In a recent letter to City
Manager George Aull, Mrs.
Royster lauded a Durham police
man who offered his services
to her and a friend in distress.
The patrolman she spoke of was
officer Garland Spangler.

Vivaldi (16697-1741), a Venetian

on tlie development of the violin

a composer of real note who had
considerable influence upon the
earlier writings of Bach. Vaughan
Whiiams, a moderan British com-
. po.ser, xyho was born in 1872, be
came absorbed in the revival of
the English folk song, and this
Fantasia is based on four tradition
al English carols together with
fragments of other well known
carol tunes.
The soloists who are to be
heard in the major work, the
Gloria, have been selected from
the Society itself. They are:
Roberta David, soprano, former

Pickets Food

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. — Phila
delphia CORE today resumed non
violent demonstrations at a Horn
and Hardart store. CORE is pro
testing against discriminatory em
ployment'practices.
After several months of picket
ing Horn and Hardart stores last
spring, CORE suspended its dem
onstrations for a six-month "wait
and see” period. During this time
CORE hoped to see some improve
ments in Horn and Hardart’s em
ployment practices. At that time
three Negroes were, employed in
a waitress-cashier force of over
700. At present the number of
Negroes has increased oAly slight
ly.
The six-month period was up
several weeks ago; and CORE,
after making extensive surveys of
Horn and Hardart stores to check
on personnel, requested a negotia-
tion session with Horn and Har
dart. The management has consis
tently refused to talk with local
CORE representatives, it has also
refused to acknowledge repeated
phone calls and letters.
Louis Smith, chairman of the
Employment Committee , a n.d
sposkeman for CORE, said that
CORE has exhausted every possi
ble means in its efforts to dis
cuss its grievances with Horn and
Hardart. “CORE has no alterna
tive but to resume , nonviolent
demonstrations and to continue
them indefinitely,” Smith empha
sized. “This is not strictly a locjil

Baltimore Negr^
Vote^lncreasing
BALTIMORE — Spurred by a
sustained NAACP drive under the
leadership of Dr. Lillie M. Jack
son, branch president, registra
tion of Negro voters in Baltimore
sppi'tfaeKihg pfifny-
with that of white voters.
With more than 108,000 Negroes
enrolled, these voters now consti
tute more than a quarter of the
Oity’S total of 407,500 registered
votets. In 1955 there were only
72,800 colored voters in Baltimore.
The continuing campaign to en
large this vote has been conducted
uhder auspices of the Baltimore
NAACP.
Negroes account for 35 per cent
of the city’s total population and
27 per cent of the total registered
vote. In part, this is because a
larger proportion of Negroes is
under 21 years of age than of
whites.
The expansioti of the Negro
vote has been accompanied by a
decline in the number of white
voters. In 1955 there were 324,000
white voters. That figure is now
down to 299,600.

Appeals Court Rules to Speed up
School Desegregation in Tennessee
NEW YORK—The U. S. Court i
of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
upheld this week a decision of I
the U. S. District Court in Chat-!
tanooga, Tenn. which called for
the speeding-up of desegregation
of Chattanooga’s public ' schools.
The Chattanooga Board of Edu
cation presented a desegregation
plan on January 23, 1861 which
District Judge Leslie R. Darr re
jected as too slow.
The Court of Appeals held that:
“Th^order of the District Court,
tentatively rejecting the first plan
and requiring the filing of an al
ternate one, was within the dis
cretion of the judge to make, and
CORE project and CORE needs
the support of the entire commu
nity to help advance the cause ol
equal job opportunity.”
we do not find that there has
been any abuse of discretion.”
The School Board plan allowed
for desegregation of the first 3
grades of selected schools in the
fall of 1962. The Board contended
it needed more time to educate
the public about intiegration.

cational Fund attorneys represent
