Raleigh Round-Up Wall Street Journal Prediction On Primary All Wet. Umstead Gets Mail By KIDD BREWER FIRST HINT ... The Wall Street Journal in an editorial carried this past May 27 said that the “North Carolina poll (Ed. note: our May 29 primary) will be the first hint of South’s reaction to high court fcan.” The main thing in the Journal editor’s opinion was that if Kerr Scott should receive the Democrat-' ic nomination for the U. S. Senate it would indicate that North Caro lina was not objecting as seriously to the U. S. Supreme Court’s de cision as a victory by Alton A. Len non might indicate. The editorial said that “a victory t>y Mr. Lennon would be interpret ed as reflecting popular resent ment against the court ruling.” “By the same token, a Scott tri umph would be read to mean that Tar Heel voters no longer can be stirred up over the race issue,” said the Journal. Well, Scott won, but the Tar Heel voters are, nevertheless, ^'stirred up,” but plenty, over the segregation question. LETTERS ...

Most of these letters come from good, though poor, white people who say they have no funds with which to send their offspring to private schools but cannot permit them to go to school with negroes. You have no idea of the vastness of the problem if you have not lived in the rural areas of Eastern North Carolina. A LONG FIGHT . . . Although additional decisions must come from the U. S. Supreme Court be fore white and colored will be forced by law to attend the same schools, most of us are not yet awake to the serious problems fac ing thousands of families — both white and black — throughout this state. It’s going to be a long, hard, tough, dirty fight. There will prob ably be some bloodshed here and there, with indictments, lawsuits, and cases moving through the vari ous courts on this charge and that charge of non-compliance with the law and stubborn violations of it. The big change will require a lot of Christian patience, toler ance, and understanding between the races. Even then, it may be 25 years before we see full compliance with the law. NEW SOUTH? ... We speak of the New South. This move from segregation to nonsegrega tion of the races will prove just how new we are. Can we stand the test? Only time will tell. But the important thing to remember is that this test of the South’s real strength is not something that will begin in the far distant fu ure. It’s virtually here on us, right now. Are we ready for it, individually, as a family, as a state, as a united section of the United States? If not, then now —not tomorrow — is the time to start preparing our minds for the test. That isn’t easy, for the first requirement is that we must close our eyes to yesterday. NEGRO IN POLITICS . . . Turn ing from the segregation question to the role of the negro in south ern politics, the Wall Street Jour nal reports that “in some areas of Dixie, the ‘negro vote’ — if it’s east in anything like a bloc — may even now hold the balance of po litical power between Democratic candidates in intra-party fights, or in presidential elections as between the GOP candidate and the Demo cratic nominee. “. . . according to GOP estimates Every ounce of JFG Special coffee is "PREMIUM FIAVOR" coffee! The best part of the meal" 120,000 Tar Heel negroes were reg istered in 1952, nearly five times the 25,000 estimate for 1940.” FALSE HOPE ... The edito rial says that Republican experts estimate negro registration in 11 southern states at 1,130,000 in 1952 as compared with only 244, 000 in 1940. It may be that the GOP fig ures — what with their Attorney General Herbert Brownell doing the pleading before the U. S. Su preme Court in behalf of the ne gro — that it can get the black vote in Dixie come 1956. From here that seems a false hope . . . particularly in view of the fact that just two weeks ago Mrs. El eanor Roosevelt was made a paid-in-full life member of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. Mrs. Roosevelt previously had made the initial down payment on her $500 life membership in the organization. SURVEY IN DUPLIN . . . What do the negroes think of the segre gation question? Are they for non segregation, against it, or don’t they care? For instance, in New York City where they can legally live anywhere and go anywhere they wish, the negroes prefer to stay off to themselves. They are much more clannish than white people and think a lot more of their Harlem and thenr Lennox avenue than of Fifth and Park avenues. The Carolinian, Raleigh negro weekly newspaper, ran this edito rial on Saturday, June 5: “The News and Observer has re ported that the Wallace Enterprise has ‘learned through a recent sur vey that the negro leaders of Dup lin county are unanimously jn fa vor of segregation in the public schools.” “In order to check the validity of the Enterprise’s conclusion, it would be necessary to know who decided on who the ‘negro leaders’ of Duplin county were, and by what method. A much more elusive, but just as important fact that needs checking is what position in the community do these ‘leaders’ hold; what proportion of them are princi pals and teachers whose income at present is tied to the segregated school system, and how many oth ers of them are dependent for their comfortable status on the white community’s approval of their ex pressed attitudes. The doubting Carolinian contin ues. “The questions posed the ne gro leaders by the Enterprise were definitely angled. Further, there is no indication as to whether those ACROSS 1. Barbed spear 5.

But we have no evidence — and if The Carolinian has any it doesn’t present it — that the survey was not held in an upright, fair and square manner. And, as for the Wallace Enter prise, we have been reading it for many a day and would bet our bot tom dollar it is at least as free of prejudice as The Carolinian—may be even freer.
