dean McDaniel is barking up a very empty hollow by Jack Rider Last Thursday night Lenoir ' 'Community College Dean Jfesse McDaniel -was over come by his own rhetoric, and spent a windy few minutes barking up a very empty hot low before the Kinston City Schools Advisory- Comrnittee. Frank Warren, the managing editor of the Kinston Daily Free Press, who covered the Mc Daniel declamation, headlined the article with “Panic Foster ed by Anti-Public School Peo ple”, and followed that with a larger drop-head which pro claimed, ‘“Defend Our Public _ Schools’ Dean McDaniel Chat lenges”. McDaniel apparently is so deep in the educational forest that he cannot see some very tall trees. It Warren correctly quoted McDaniel here ate some of his choicesUplums; or is it lemons, or possibly sour grapes? “When you hear somebody rear back on his haunches and begin to bray ah this stuff about how bad the public schools are and how integration won't work tell them the facts!” McDaniel might be interested In what Julius Hobson, Wash ington, D. C.’s leading black militant has to say on the sub ject: Hobson pays: “Of course — integration is a complete fail ure — what we’ve got is no longer an issue or race, but of class ... the middle class against the poor, with the Federal gov ernment standing idly by . . . the schools in Washington have deteriorated to a point almost beyond repair ... If I could af ford it, I’d send my own child ren to a i private school.” And another of the highest ranking Negroes in the federal government, Ben Holman, who is director of the United States Department of Community Re lations in the Justice Depart ment has this to say: “Of course it’s true that the attempt to integrate this coun try’s schools is a tragic failure. 1 started out at 14 picketing for integration, but it’s just not going to work. We’ve got to ad mit publicly that we’ve failed, so we can stop pursuing this phantom, and concentrate, in stead, bn gilding the ghetto — a v massive diversion of man power and money to the cen tral city schools.” And another oi the highest ranking Negroes in the field, Dan Watts, editor of The Lib erator” says: “You’re so right. The attempt to integrate this country’s schools is a tragic failure. There’s more race hat red in New York City than there is in Mississippi, and it all goes back to the schools. It’s a trau matic experience, anyway, for a black kid to be bussed clear across town for toe privilege of sitting next" to Miss Aiur 77. arid we’ve got to move away from integration and toward coexist ence”. Coexistence is a current eu phenism for “Separate but Equal”. v Hobson confessed also, “I have an opinion I hestitate to voice, because it’s too close to George Wallace, but I think it’s time to make the schools good where they are . . t the integra tion kick is a dead issue Alan Westin, one of Colum bia University’s top education Jersey, where I live, for ex ample. But that’s admittedly ah atypical situation. Where inte gration has failed, the answer may be some kind of bi-racial ism .'. (Teaneck, N. J. has a population of 42,000,- of which four per cent is Negro, and this is upper class professional class Negro population). Bi-racialism is mother current euphenism for “Separate but Equal”’. Dr. McDaniel said, “I want my children to find out what it' means to live in a country like ours. I want them to sit in class rooms with) children of all in come levels, religious, political beliefs, and races.” Dr. Mc Daniel’s home is at 1804 Saint George Place, which is. about as far from a Negro school as he could get in Kinston and still live in the school district. Last month, Hie New York Times, the nation’s leading lib eral newspaper and - long the leader in the fight for racial integration in the schools pub lished two lengthy reports Which had this to say:.“There are conditions of paralyzing anarchy in some integrated New York City schools and ra cial polarization, disruptions and growing racial tensions in virtually every part of this country where schools - have substantial Negro enrollment” And in his bellweather speech last month in the senate, Senator Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut said: “When we have a school system ready to blowup across the nation, when teachers have to be escorted to school by police, and when stu dents are fighting one another in classrooms, we have a civili zation in disintegration.” And a warning ... a very was issued last month by Rich ard Scammon, who is classified by many as the best Political Statistician analyst in the busi ness, had this to say: “The dan ger is that you could have a white working-class revolt against the federal judiciary and the whole'liberal establish ment. For example: Denver votes 70-to-30 against bussing students and the courts reverse the people’s decision. The up tight white liberals think the way a soldier ddes — somebody else is going to get it, not me. Justice Douglas talks about a violent revolution against the establishment. One day the, working-class whites may take his advice — and hang Bill Douglas”. Last week police were in the corridors of Grainger High School because of a racial flare up that hospitalized one white boy and led to a five-day su spension of the four Negroes who ganged up and viciously beat the single white victim, who suffered this injury while numerous white students watch (continued on page four) H PINT AUSTIN, NICHOLS A CO, INC., NEW YORK-NEW YORK OLD StRAIGHT BOURBON _ WHISKEY ife a little gas. ‘Ford's suggsstsd retail pries for Iho boss Maverick atodsl.
