Separation,
Humiliation
Are Cited
WASHINGTON 1 , D. C.-

current desegregation
practices, the National
Education Association’s
president last week told

the nation’s public
schools.
Segregated by race into
separate classroom, humiliated
by white teachers, and forced
to witness the demotion or fir
ing of black teachers and ad
ministrators, black children
is so-called integrated schools
are learning more self-hate or
rebellion than anything else,
George D. Fischer told mem
bers of the Senate's Select Com
mittee on Equal Educational
Opportunity.
In urging the committee to
investigi areas of the nation
where ue facto as well as de
jure racial discrimination ex

sippi and Louisiana.
Many biack children in al

are isolated in separate class
rooms or in special sections of

Draft Case
Conviction
Overturned
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The U.
S. Supreme Court has over
turned the conviction of Joseph
Mulloy on a charge of refusing
to be inducted into the armed
forces.
The judges ruled that Draft
Board 47 in Louisville, Ky„
was wrong in refusing to re
open Mulloy’s case after he
asked to be classified as a
conscientious objector to war.
(See HKC. H COURT, P 2)
The committee's preliminary
report, "Somebody Better Do
Something,” states that "lack
of communication was much
more evident than quality or
quantity of programs,” The
successful programs, which
"show the poor that there are
people in the institutions and
the establishments who are very
much interested in them and in
helping them with their prob
lems,” reach a very limited
number of people.
The committee points out,
however, that a "dialogue” is
beginning between the educator
and the poverty-stricken, now

population. Through field
