Integration Of Teachers Sought In HI. Schools PEORIA, III. The NAACP has asked the Illinois State Com- nfiissioner of Education to Invest igate the local school board’s employment and assignment po licies as regards Negro teachers. Miss June Shagaloff, the As sociation’s special assistant for education, here on request of the organization’s state con ference, conferred with tlje Board of Education for two hours this Vreek. She was accompanied by John Gwynn, local NAACP president, and a special committee. There were no immediate results. Peoria hires a mere 17 Ne gro teachers in a school system employing more than 750. No Negroes teach in any of the -eJtv*4S 'seaior or junior high schools. The 17 who do work are as signed to four elementary .schools with the largest number of Negro pupils. Eight of these teachers are at the 'Douglass elementary school which has a 90 per cent Negro enrollment. The Board of Education main tains that it does not discrimi- Appeal to Widen Desegregation In Miss, to be Filed NEW YORK — A desegrega tion order handed down by a Federal District Court judge in Jackson, Miss., will be appealed because of its limited applica tion, NAACP General Counsel Robert L. Carter announced here. The order, handed down on May 15 by Judge Sidney C. Mize, requires desegregation of librar ies, parks, zoos, golf courses playgrounds, including swimm ing pools, auditoriums and other nubile facilities in Jackson. ’This is believed to be the first desegregation opinion coming out of Missisaipci ati..-t^ .court level. The decision was the result of a suit filed in January by the NAACP in behalf of three Ne gro citizen.s challenging the con stitutionality of three state statutes which prohibit the use of public facilities on an equal and tntegrateffUasts. Because Judge Mize’s order was limited only to the three persons suing, an appeal is plan ned on the basis that this is a class action. Carter, who argued the case in March, requested a three- iudi^e court because the consti tutionality of court statutes was involved. In April the three- judge court issued a per curiam order dissolving the court, the issue to be decided by a single di.strict judge. However, desoite th^ limita tion of the judgment and the ludge’s refusal to issue an in- iunctlon, it is expected that other Negroes will seek the use of Mississippi facilities wh'icb the court has stated, by law, cannot be segregated. Bishop Spottswood Calls tor Union Of Methodist Churches at Confab i H E C A R O L I Mf i -T I M £ ji •aYURDAY, JMNf % DtlKMAM, EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Speak ing to the 53rd session of the Indiana Annual Confercncc, A. M. E. Zion Church, which was held recently, Bishop S. G. Spottswood made a striking ap peal for the unification of all Methodists. He tk>k a poke at the mother Methodist Church for its segregated district. The prelate began with the following: "Negro Methodist bodies should unite for a number of reasons. First of all, we should unite to present a solid front in the fight for full free dom of all Americans. Secondly, we should unite to strengthen missionary front, standardize o{ir educational institutions. Then, we should unite for spiritual reasons. Today, in the •oclesi- astical world, there is a steady procession of church mergers.” He continued - “The one hundred-odd splinters of evang elicial Protestantism are unitinc in significant organic uniona. Similinr polities and compar able theologies, along with the already accomplished fact ef well-nigh uniform worship,'and liturgical practices have blazed the trail for organic unions which have given us great hope for the eventual Christian unity prayed for by Jesus.” Bishop Spottswood pointed out that the basic steps toward the “Coming one great Church" lies, first, in the union of ec clesiastical bodies of parallel and identical polity and doctrine. For instance, all of the seven teen M‘-‘'hodist Churches should unite in one great Methodist merger, before Methodist Church es should enter the larger unions with Churches of dif ferent governmental and wor ship backgrounds. “Therefore, as much as we deplore any emphasis based on race, we feel that the time is ripe for the organic union of; Negro Methodist bodies. While' all Negro Methodist bodies should unite, I hope that I will live to see the merger of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the African Metho dist Episcopal Church, the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and (unless mother Methodism desegregates) Cen tral Jurisdiction of the Metho dist Church,” he said. He closed by predicting that “a united Africa will emerge before the dawn of the twent.v- first century the most powerful and effective federation of states that the world has seen. There fore, let 11^ African-stemmed American Methodists t>estlr our selves to uhite > the .sons of Varick, Allen. Psvne and Spen cer into a United Methodist Church so that when the event ual dav of the union of all Metho dists will pome, we shall have a Church like oiir new Africpn reniihl|cs, demanding equality and firrnishing same to a merged Methodism.” W.

The local NAACP has been engaged in a running argument with the Board since 1955. NAACP members ringed the Board of Bklucation headquarters with a picket line this week after the meeting failed to pro duce immediate results. The W. G. Pearson Elementary School of Durham, North Car olina, is doing something about the “cultural poverty” of Its students through an aggressive PTA program. The PTA, headed by North Carolina College professor Dr; H. G. Dawson, Jr., has been busy all year on what it calls “Operation Increase.” ^We started,” says the pro gram’s chief architect, Edward WilsiJn, rt'A vlA president, who 1s also, on- the MGC lacvilty, “with the premise that all child ren can afiord to read more and to leam n^ore about «rt and music.” In addition, the PTA Execu tive Committee learned, through a spot xommunity check, that many of the children had access to books in their own homes. Paintings and reproduc tlons were out of the question. The musical diet tended toward rock *n roll. On the other hand, the group also found that parents were vaguely aware of these short comings and were eager to do something about them. To answer the question, “What can we do?” the PTA executive sug gested “Operation Increase.” In the first phase of t^ pro gram,, beginnijgg in NAvember, a list of books, teprodvctions, and recordings of classical musk; drawa up. Coasistlng of nearly three hundred titles, the books scaled according to grade levels, the list was put into the hands of ail Pearson School parents, who were urged to purchase some of the items for the home. What Professor Wilson calls “gentle pressure” was ap plied when teachers started ask ing both children and parents about items on the “Increase”, list. Shortly after the ■ec.'r.'l semester began, "Operation In crease” hit high gear when the PTA purchased enough books for every child in the first grades. These are circulated on a week ly loan basis among children In d'iifferertl rooms every Friday afternoon by parents acting as “librarians.” The experience has been re vealing to parents, teachers, and students. “il never knew kids wanted to read so much,” said one parent librarian .r^ntly. '“Even mine seem to 1fe‘ enjoy ing these books.” Teachers have found “ that children want to build units around their “out side” reading, ask for addition al assignments in the library. A third grader’s reaction is fairly (irpical of wha(!r students are Isayijigi, “'They ought to let us borrow two or three books a week not Just one.” Students seem almost equally enthusiastic ab)ut the third phase of “Operation Increase,” a series of reproductions of famous paintings which have been purchased for each class room. Handsomely mounted and framed, the reproductions are rotated from room to room on a weekly basis. Each is Identifi ed in a brief description by Mr Wilson. As more reproductions are ac' OMiied, .'parents may borrow tieilt. for display in the home. As with the books, the main Idea il to establish |i “Closer re^tlon- ship” between the children and works of art. In the long run, Mr. Frank Burnett, principal, say the re sults of this program will un doubtedly be revealed in higher achievement test scores. At the moment, however, he Is “well pleased that a group of parents and teachers have shown stKh a remarkable interest in the child ren of this school. This is some thing altogether new.” REEDOM 7 MEICtlRY STACEGItfT TO NSt[ Cfff Ri SAVIIKS NNBS it A MerciNy 7 Spocecrgfl, dOpNcota of Freedom 7, Uberty Bell 7, and FriencMilp 7 tfcot carried our ottronauts in their lub-orbla^ontf orbitcrf flight*, %rHI (ooii be displayed here.

The capsule will form part of a Savings Bonds exhibit that is touring the nation during the Freedom Bond Drive in May and June. Every citizen is be ing aaked to purchase an extra Savings Bond during this period. The Freedom 7 Capsule is identical to the one that carried America’s first astronauts Into space. It is mounted on a rod white and blue trailer, flanked by two Annerlcan flags. The public will be able to examine the spacecraft at close hand. Poole said thbt the exhibit will include a public aAdress system over which will be play ed tape recordings of document ary materiiil related to America’s first manned space flights, pa- lilio'ic music nnd information about the Froodom Bond Drive. “It is appropriate that this spnrcrnifl Itc exhibited in con nection wilh the Freedom Sav- innn Bond Drive,” Poole stated. “Our explorations in space over (ii(' years will require substantial .sums of mionoy. The success and extent of this program ultimate ly rests upon a strong and grow ing economy. The continued sale of Savings Bonds and extra sales (luring this drive is an se- sentiai ingredient of a healthy economy.” Details of the ax- ^jibit'.s vi.iit here will be an nounced later by the Savingl Bond.s Committee. aeoXStagfi Tyearold Kentucky Bourbon— «995 $^so ^^riFTH IHPINT Nat'l Congress To Honor Lucie E.
