NAACP OFFICIAL SETS GUIDELINES FOR POOR Baker Sees New Hope s For Needy Allred Baker Lewis, ns tioria' treasurer, N A A C P, speaking to the Raleigh Branch, Friday night, at the Sir Walter Hotel, pictured a new era for for the underpriviliged and felt that his organization WHS the lever by which this group could be raised. His most striking point was ‘ 'The instruments for racial change, on behalf of the un derdog, are the right to vote, free education, and the right to form unions of tVieir own.” He continued "The struggle for civil rights goes parallel with this struggle to upgrade the standard of living of the workers. For example we have by orders from former Presi dent Truman, ended segregation In the Armed Forces, and treat ed Negroes so fairly that their re-enlistment rate Is between two and three times higher than for whites. "We have established by the recently passed Federal CM] Rights Bill the right of Ne groes to be served- In places oi public accommodation such as hotels, motels, bars, rest aurants, movies, etc., through out the whole country. We did not get the Federal Fair Hous ing Law, though it got a ma jority In both House and Senate. Senator Dirksen, the Republican Senate Leader, helped the Southern Senators filibuster against the bill, and we could not get the necessary 2/3 ma jority to stop the filibuster. But there are fair housing laws in nearly half the states. ,r We have protected the right oi Negroes to vote against bias ed administration of state lit eracy tests, so that the numb er of Negroes enrolled as voters in the South has risen substantially and will rise further.

Plans Harlem Entry Palm Sunday BIMINI, Bahamas Is. - The controversial congressman - pastor, Adam Clayton Powell, is said to have heeded a tele gram sent to him by New York supporters, and even though he faces arrest, plans to make a triumphiai entry into Harlem, with as much hoped -for - pomp as that which att ended the first Palm Sunday triumph, into Jerusalem. It is not believed that he will have the service of the untrained colt. The following is a report of the incidents that attend the Powell spectacular entry. Adam Clayton Powell was de ter mined to make a triumphant Palm Sunday entry into Harlem to preach at his Baptist church against his lavyyer’s advice tha he will probably be arrested and jailed. In Harlem, Powell, an or dained Baptist minister, was being compared to Jesus, who on the first Palm Sunday nearly 2,000 years ago made a tri umphant entry into Jerusalem, me week before his crucifixion. The Rev. A. Kendall Smith, chairman of the Harlem Citiz ens for Community Action and a Powell advieer, said his group had voted to recommend that Poweil return to New York this Sunday despite the threat of being Jailed. He sfati the group sent the following wire Powell's hideaway In Bimini: '"The people of Harlem await your entry here this Palm Sun day. We urge that you follow te the revered tradition of the Savior of the World. smm knew f®ee SHJWtsrx. P.

Le Marquis de Jarm on, a professor at N. C. Collage School of Law, told Republicans "there Is a serious shortage of Negro lawyers in the state” and said the school which is facing death from lack of ap propriations can “salvage what otherwise might have been a waste of human potential." Jarman said there is only one Negro lawyer for every 12,000 Negro residents in the state compared to one white lawyer for each "85 white persons. He added the N wro lawyer to resi dent ratio is one to 18,000 "when you subtract the Negroes who are practicing corporation law." Gov. Moore and the Advisory Budget Commission recom mended that no funds be grant ed to the law school in the com ing biennium. Such a plan would, In effect., abolish the state-sup ported school. M. E, Johnson, another school professor , said while many Ne groes can qualify for the Uni versity of North Carolina Law School, they are turned down because the UNC school takes only the top 10 to 15 per cent. White Boy Moved Due To Threats HO- FM.AN lntegration of youthlul offenders oi both races took the spotlight this week when the admission of a 15- yr-old rtiite boy from Beau fort County to Morrison Train ing School came Into focus. The foment was so high until the boy was transferred to what is termed a white-school, located at Concord. Kenneth Ray Lewis, white, was sent to the Richmond Coun ty Institution, from Ms home county on February 28 and It' is reported that "Folks down there were upset.” The home folks are reported to have not busied themselves over the crime the boy is alleged to have committed and only show ed interest When he was sent to what they termed to the all- Negro Morrison Training School. It should be remembered that prisoners have been integrated, fe many parts of the state, for a number of years and it could not be understood why all the fuss over the white boy going to Morrison, when at East Carolina.

Clayton Powell, Congressman from Harlem in New York is not a Negro as we carelessly assume. Neither biologically nor anthropological ly can Powell be classed as a Negro; but fro nr; every point of view except the white man's, Powell is a white man brought up and nurtured by the Negro race, which served as a “Black Mammy” in taking care of him and his kind. And in this sense the Negro race can be called a “Black Mammy” race, to its credit be it said; and has served a glorious function in this country. It has adopted children of all races and brought them to maturity in a glorious manner. Powell is therefore a white man adopted under certain cir cumstances into the Negro race, and to Powell's credit be it said he has never de nied he race of his adoption.

The rearing of children was largely left in the hands of Black Mammies and the cultured white ladies of the South were really and truly “ladies of leisure,” These Black Mammies not only brought up the South’s most eminent statesmen nnd leaders of thought, but they it was who brought up the generation of Negroes into whose hands were the fates of the women of the South, during the terrible Southern Rebellion now called the War Between the States by over-meticulous writers of history from the Southern point of view.
