The Inquirer SpeaksBy M. Carl Holman

A PLACE TO PLAY

America, they say, is differentfrom many other places in theworld in the way we treat our

women and in the way we treat

our children. We have even been

accused of spoiling both the ladies

in our lives and our young ones.

If we may side-step discussion of

the first, for the moment, let's

see what one American town does

in the way of spoiling its young-

sters.

Drive through certain neighbor-

hoods and there are parks —

small islands of shade and grow-

ing things in which the young

mothers and the older folks can

read, doze or gossip while the tod-dlers too young for school are at

play. Cars cruise by, beyond this

zone of safety, without causing so

much as a lifted head. Furtheralong there is a still larger park,|with softball and football fields,carefully kept by a city crew andequipped with lights for nightgames which attract and help holdtogether entire families, both asplayers and spectators.

Is it volley ball the youngsterswould like to learn? Or tennis —practiced on some of the finestcourts in the nation? Or square-dancing? Or golf? This Americantown is more than happy to makeits children happy by providing agenerous helping of exercise,wholesome relaxation and fun atthe town’s expense.

Side of Tow

Not all the youngsters, however,

are in danger of being spoiled by

the good fathers of the town. Driv-

ing down the narrow, pot-holedstreets of another neighborhood it

1s hard to avoid the difference.

Their playgrounds are the narrow,

pot-holed streets in which they

daily risk life and limb in a dan-

gerous game of tag with the

trucks and cars which chase them

back to the curb. Except for those

unhappy times when one of them

fails to make it. Their parks are

the alleys, the scrawny back

yards, the vacant lots on whichthey compete for playing space

with tin cans and broken bottles.

A Little Arithmetic

Recreation should be a pleasant

subject in this American town,

but unfortunately arithmetic gets

in the way. If we begin with the

distance between the homes of

the favored children and the near-

est park, we must multiply to

arrive at miles to be covered by

many of the less favored before

they see a spot of city-sponsored

greenery. And once they arrive inone of the handful of parks set

By Lonnie King

(Written in Fulton County Jail)

On Wednesday, October 19, 1960,

85 students from the six Atlanta

University Center schools em-

barked on what must surely be

the most rewarding experience of

§ [their lives when they attempted

to be served at “white” lunch

counters in several chain and de-

partment stores.

Oddly, Rich’s department store

was the only store which had

students arrested. 52

were arrested there, probably the

largest number ever arrested at

any store in the South.

Only 36 of us were bound over

to Superior Court. These young

people are thoroughly dedicated to

the principle of nonviolence and

all are willing to spend time in

jail to protest the injustice ofsegregation.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

who was arrested with us, hit

the nail on the head when he said

“Segregation is a festering sore

that debilitates the white as well

as the Negro.”

Wednesday's arrest of 52 people

destroyed the myth that Rich’s is

sympathetic to the Negro’s cause.

This is a serious indictment of

the Rich’s management.

Let Freedom

Ring

As the Student Nonviolent Co-

ordinating Committee Conference

closed last Sunday night I thought

of how wonderful the entire con-

ference had been. Here we met

and shared experiences and inci-

dents of the summer, many re-

warding, some disheartening, all

adding to our determination to

continue the struggle against dis-

crimination until the battle is won.

We have reaffirmed our faith in

nonviolence, not only as a tech-

nique useable in sit-ins and pro-

test demonstrations, but as an

actual way of life, as a real and

vital part of everyday

Through discussions and after-

conference hours sessions, we

realize that the philosophy of non-

violence is the Christian philoso-

phy, that it embraces and is em-

braced by the Golden Rule. We

realize that mistakes have been

made and in spite of these mis-

takes, the movement has flour-

ished across the land, meeting

and surmounting obstacles which

were considered too difficult to

surmount or situations beyond our

control.

living.

We learned that we must re-

emphasize the philosophies which

have built the movement, not be-

cause we have begun to stray

away, but becauseé continued em-

phasis will serve to make us more

effective in the battle. Nonvio-

lence is our weapon and our de-

fense. We must clasp it to us.

We learned what so many of us

had begun to realize. We learned

that greater sacrifice is needed,that our dedication must be

strengthened, that our programs

must spread and cover the en-

tirety of segregation. We must not

settle for freedom at lunch count-

ers. As has Atlanta and so many

other protest centers, we must

carry the battle to the enemy andattack him whether he lurks be-hind the restrictive covenant inreal estate, behind the closed door

“at the employment office, if hemanages to close the voting booth.or if he is able even to direct usto the back door of the movietheatre. Until all men can movefreely, the beloved communitywill not exist. Until no man canrestrict the liberties of anotherin a capricious and arbitrary fash-ion by using his color as a pointof reference in choosing or re-fusing him, we must press onwardand upward.

We learned the importance ofsacrifice. As James Lawson, astudent who was expelled fromVanderbilt Divinity School inNashville for his part in the stu-dent protest movement told theconference, “We lost the finesthour of the movement when somany hundreds of us left the jailsof the south.” Lawson urged thestudents arrested for their partici-pation in sit-in activity to stayinjail and told them to tell the lead-ers who asked them to accept bail

it in here just as long as you can

stand it out there.”

Attending the conference was

like having a breath of fresh air

blown into a hot and stuffy room.

I saw white students from north-

ern collegs, whose only experi-

ence with discrimination must al-

most necessarily be second-hand,

ready to dedicate themselves far

beyond the sacrifices which many

Negro students, deeply touched by

the evil in their daily lives. have

refused to offer.

The student movement came

about because young people saw

many of their elders refusing to

cope with segregation adequately.

They saw other youngsters,younger than they, in Little Rock

and other cities, face mobs who

would have deterred many a sea-

soned fighter. They saw that too

often, one person cries against

wrongdoing, and one person can-

not effectively act. They saw that

ponderous barriers were being

raised to fight the 1954 Supreme

Court decision and they saw that

only a massive attack could bring

results. They saw that massive

resistance must be met with pas-

sive insistence and they saw that

only in a movement which in-|

volved all of the people involved!

or in any way connected with the

basic problem could any sort of|

effective change be wrought. They|

saw, finally, that it does no

earthly good to talk and fret about

segregation and that only action

will ever enable man to talk of

segregation as a thing of the past.

NO. 113 OR NO. 200?

cities in which lunch counters |

have been integrated has now]

ors, the merchants, the Negro and |

Jobs and

SchoolingOne of the speakers at. the

national sit-in conference this

past weekend bluntly suggested

that Negro youngsters are being

trained for yesterday's oppor-

tunities.

Certainly the SNCC speaker was

not the first to note that it is no

accident that our boys and girls

still tend to be shunted into

low-paying, dead-end or all-too-

crowded occupatiions. The two

Negro youngsters from the North

cited recently for outstanding

scientific achievement would

hardly have made the grade in

one of those segregated public

schools limited by second-rate

scientific courses and equipment,

or none at all.

Whereas there have been dras-

tic changes in the offerings of

many of our white schools, espe-

cially since the cold war brain-

power race against Russia began,

a graduate of one of our Negro

schools, going back to his old

school after a lapse of ten or

fifteen years, can still find too

many of the same outmoded

courses, the same narrow-focus

goals of teacher, doctor, lawyer,preacher.

There are trained counsellors

now in several of our high schools

and some of our colleges, butthere are still pared, then encouraged to take

But there are glimmers of en-|

We have heard that certain edu-

cators in the University Center,

We've already had visits from Father Scott of St. Paul Episcopal

Church, Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., and we hear that Father

Banks will be along soon. When we finish talking with our friends

from the Inquirer, Spelman’s Dean of Women will be visiting with

us. It’s good to have ‘company’ from the outside world; especially

when they realize that we absolutely will not be persuaded toaccept bond.

We are happy fo know that there are those who are keeping

The following statements were released to the Inquirer by Rev. |King and the students.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Our decision to stay in jail rather than |accept bail grows out of a deep moral and spiritual motivation. It |is neither a publicity stunt nor an outer expression of rabble rousing. |

t is rather a sincere act to bring the evil of racial discrimination |under the scrutiny of the conscience of the community. History has |proved that self suffering can be a most powerful social force and |ultimately lead to a positive change of attitudes. So we are willing |to accept the suffering and agony that accompanies a jail sentence !in order to appeal to the conscience of Atlanta. We also choose thiscourse of action to demonstrate to the nation that we are willing toendure the most agonizing inconvenience to achieve freedom and |human dignity. We cali upon every citizen of this community to |jein in this mighty movement. We need vour moral and financialsupport.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1960 THE ATLANTA INQUIRER PAGE A-2

AT WHEAT ST. CHURCH MONDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 0’'CLOCK, CLEVELAND, OHIO CITY

COUNCILMAN JOHN B. KELLOG WILL DISCUSS CAMPAIGN ISSUES AT A REPUBLICAN

RALLY. HEAR HIM!

These scenes are in line with the Vice President’s position on Civil Rights, which was challenged by

typical Democrat desperation in the distribution of thousands of copies of a deed signed by Mr. Nixon

in 1951 when he purchased his Washington, D. C. home. This was three years before the U. S. Supreme

Court decision outlawing the kind of restrictive covenant showing the deed. Democrat leaders knew

that Negroes and whites in Washington, Atlanta and other places signed such deeds which had to con-

form to the original sub divisions and the Northeast section covered by Nixon's deed is now popu-

lated largely by Negroes. This, however, will not offset the Republican candidate’s good record on Civil

Rights, which neither of the Democrat candidates has when it comes to performance: :

In Congress he favored every Civil Rights measure except 3; twice against strong sections of an

FEPC Bill and once against a bill to make violence against servicemen a Federal Crime. On the

other hand 3 crucial rulings of his as president of the Senate were favorable.

He like Senator Lodge, has always been outspoken against segregation and discrimination. He sup-

ports the Republican Platform North and South: in Charlotte, in Memphis, in Atlanta as in New

York, Illinois and Ohio he spoke in favor of the Civil Rights plank. He has served as chairman

of the President’s Committee on Government Contracts, which gave Negroes good jobs or upgraded

them in 88 industries: Here at Marietta Lockheed, Negro clerical and other white collar workers

were employed as a result of the Committee's negotiations.

On appointment of a Negro to the cabinet, Senator Kennedy says he will not appoint a Negro

because of his race, Senator Johnson says it's wrong to talk about it, Senator Lodge says he recom-

mends it and Vice President Nixon, who will have the responsibility come next January, says he

will appoint the best men regardless of race, creed or color. Which statements are positive and

which are negative? Remember, the vice president is only one heartbeat away from the presi:

dency. Which candidates are temporizing with the enemies of Civil Rights? With which team are

your rights safe? The answer is NIXON AND LODGE. Vote that way on November 8.

ior, Ass’t. Superintendent William

Moore, to wash about 200 milk

cans. He was also told to report

two hours earlier than usual on

the following Monday in order tohelp prepare the plant for in-

spection.

When he arrived as instructed

on Monday morning Rev. Wash-

ington found that his time-card

was not in the rack. Norman Kohl,

the Superintendent, told someone

in the office to get the card and

put it in the rack because Rev.

Washington had work to do. Moore

came in an hour after Rev. Wash-

ington arrived and after Washing-

ton had worked two hours Moore

called him into the office and

asked him why he had not un-

loaded a truck-load of fruit on

the previous Saturday. Rev. Wash-

nigton replied that he had not

been told to do this and reminded

Moore that workers had been in-structed not to perform over-timework unless they had been spe-cifically instructed to do so by asuperior. At this point, Washing-ton alleges, Moore said to him.“I'm going to fire you.”

Moore and Kohl then withdrewto another part of the plant andafter about ten minutes Kohl re-turned and told Washington. “BillMoore said he fired you. “I'mgoing to agree with him.” Rev.Washington says he then went into see Anderson who said, “Fd.I hate to do this, but those menare my supervisors. They're work-

ing under me and I must go alongwith them. But I will write youa letter of recommendation.”

Letter of Recommendation

Rev. Washington still has the

letter of recommendation given

him by Anderson on the Wednes-

day following his firing. The letter

which appears above Anderson's

signature states: ‘““This will serve

to introduce Mr. Ed. Washing-

ton who has been employed by

Sealtest for more than ten years.

We have found Mr. Washing-

ton to be an honest, straight-for-

ward, religious employee. His

record for punctuality and ab-

senteeism is beyond reproach.

He has never created dishar-

mony among his

ployees.

fellow em-

We dislike seeing Mr. Wash-

ington leave us, but conditions

and necessary changes in meth-

ods of operation make this step

necessary.”

Rev. Washington states that he

remains unaware of the ‘condi-

tions’ or ‘changes’ in operating

methods which supposedly led to

his release.

The Subcommittee, Sealtest

and the Union

Subsequently, according to its

members, the Existing Businesses

subcommittee made numerous

fruitless efforts to arrange a con-

ference with Sealtest to discuss

the use of Negro personnel in

positions other than menial ones.

Rev. Washington had indicated

that although Sealtest is unionized,

the Teamsters local and Sealtestappeared always to join forces“to be working together to keepNegroes down.” Though seniorityand ability provisions applied inthe case of white workers, heclaims, whenever a Negro put hisname on the list for a job he waspassed over and a white workerwould be brought in, trained andgiven the higher position. When

stewards or took their complaintsto a grievance committee, no sat-isfaction was forthcoming. Rev.Washington states that thoughsome Negroes at the plant hadcompleted high school or attendedcollege, whites with 5th and 6tirgrade educations were trained andpromoted to operators while theNegroes were told “We just can'tdo it.”

{to use some of the skilis

Rev. Washington points out that

truck helpers at Sealtest were

taken off the list as permanent

employees and reduced to a non-

permanent classification of help-

ers who are now paid beneath the

union scale. Eating facilities for

whites are modern and more than

adequate, he says, while Negroes

must pick up their food in the

white dining room and then bring

it to a small room located in

front of the restrooms. Although,

on the whole, Negroes and whites

have worked well together at

the plant according to Rev. Wash-

ington, dissatisfaction with their

situation and the feeling that they

were paying dues without getting

workers to get out of the union.

Committee urges cooperation

The Existing Businesses sub-

committee in its report urges

that something be done to

reduce “the exodus of skilled and

committee in its report to the

trained Negro youth” from this

area. The report points with pride

to the fact that ‘‘there are oid

companies

within the Atlanta

dairies included — that do see fit

and new

that so

manyof our tax dollars are being |

used to find and prepare.” It

states further that “in order to

refute and eliminate the oiten re-

peated statement that ‘the Negro

is extremely important to con-

sider the Negro worker just as

SIDEWALK CENSUS

Your roving Inquirer reporter and photographer wandered about|:

Hunter Street Wednesday evening, October 19, and asked Atlantacitizens the following questions:

A number of students from the Atlanta University Center Schools

were arrested this afternoon for their participation in ‘‘sit-in’’ pro-

tests at down-town lunch counters. (1) What do you think of the

students’ arrests? (2) Many students say that they will stay in jail.

What do you think of this? (3) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. also

remained in jail. What do you think of adult participation in anti-

segregation protests?

-

Mr. James Pope, Steelworker,

724 Amber Road: “I think they

were arrested for doing something

a lot of people don’t have the |i

courage to do. I think they (stu-

dents) have a wonderful attitude.

Dr. King has done a wonderful

job.

Mrs. Helen Scott, 825 Martin

Street, Beautician: “I think its a

shame to arrest students. They're

doing the right thing. I think more

adults should take part.”

Mr. J. W. Couch, Westside busi-

ness man: ‘They shouldn’t have

arrested. Truthfully, their staying

in jail proves something. It shows |

the seriousness of the matter. Stu- |

dents should have the support of

adults. Students alone cannot win.

All people, white or black, need

to help.’

Arthur Wyatt, 900 Lena

tional right. I think he (Dr. King)

is right. I believe in his right,

in man’s right to exercise his

rights.”bs

Mrs. Beatrice Hollis, 954 Har-

well Street, Packer. “I don’t think

they should have been locked up.

This shows that they want equal

rights and that they will go to any

extreme to get them. If they (ad-

ults) want equal rights too, they

should do an equal part.”

Mrs. Jo Ann McClinton, 2619

Santa Barbara Drive, Housewife:

“It was very bad. They shouldn’t

* be arrested for sitting at lunch

counters when they can buy mer-

chandise ai other counters. If

they can afford to stay, they will

let everyone know that they are

willing to sacrifice for equal

rights. 1 think it’s wonderful. should participate and |

Service Station Proprietor: “I

think that more demonstrationsshould take place. It is a meansof showing the world that we in-tend to fight for our rights, evenif it means sitting in jail. His (Dr.King) taking part tends to inspirethe students. More adults shouldparticipate.”

. C. Clayton Powell, 8647Hunter Street, Optometrist: “It’sa shame and a disgrace that citi-zens in these United States shouldbe arrested for seeking to gainfood service. If our dollars arenot good enough to buy food, allcitizens should refrain from spend-ing at these storse. Personally, Ihave not yet subscribed to “jailwithout bail.” There is a possibil-ity that their remaining in jailmight prick the consciences of afew people, but I feel that educa-tion is too important for a studentto deny himself this privilege. 1think there should be adult par-ticipation in “sit-ins” and picket-ing. I personally have picketedand felt that a lot of good wasaccomplished by the presence ofadults and feel that the same |would be true in picketing depart-ment stores.”

JumpingWith Joi

By Emarie Joi Thompson

In-teen-tionally speaking:

Although thinking teens are in-

terested in the entire wide, wide

world ‘“‘bash’”” — after all, your

todays are our tomorrows — it's

the local scene which frets the

set. We may snap and crackle at

the thought that some of us may

soon croon on the moon — but we

really pop because we can never

see a first run flick (movie) here

at home unless we take our al-

penstocks to climb the Fox “‘Alps”

steps.) We were quite bugged

with “Big Red K" (Khrushchev)

when he bounced his bootee on

TV — but it bothered and be-

deviled us a lot when “Ben Hur”

played in our town forever and

a day and we couldn't even get

to the arena!

‘ Her Majesty, the Queen!

The students have voted, and

the lovely new queen at HOWARD

The queen will be crowned No-

How BeautifulWe Are

A Teen Looks at Ebony's

Symphony in Fashion

By Emarie Joi Thompson

For a teen, newly liberated

from sneakers and jeans, the

Ebony Symphony in Fashion was

truly “lovely to look at, delightful

to see!” It was a series of poetry

in pictures, music in motion and

fantasy in fashion.

As 1 sat in the packed and ap-

preciative audience, I thought

“how beautiful we are!” We are

all types and all colors, ranging

from rich, velvety ebonies through

warm browns to golden blondes.

I have no prejudice — forbid the

thought! — against ‘“furriners’,

but it does seem to me that im-

porting star material from other

lands to perform in American-

produced entertainment is a waste

of time and money. We are a

“natural resource’, and the sup-

ply is unending! Hollywood, takenote!

It was fine, indeed, to witness

that Atlanta's own renowned de-

signer, Mrs. Dorothy Alexander,

lent her particular magic to the

occasion in a wondrously beauti-

ful “deb” dress modeled by one

of the Ebonettes.

The teen fashions were way out

and droolly. I would like to have

seen some of our cool chicks have

a go at at least a couple of these

swinging styles. Come to think of

it, I would have liked seeing at

least one of our Atlanta models

on stage with all the importedbeauties.

During intermission. six Atlanta

girls who lead the field in ticket

sales were presented; and Carolyn

Lumpkin was crowned ‘‘Miss

Fashion Fair.” 1 had the honor

of making the presentation to the

second runner-up, Miss RosaLee Thomas. Mrs. Gertrude.“WACK Around Town’ Nelson,emceed this portion of the pro-gram.

This was my third Ebony Fash-ion Show. At the first one, amere child of thirteen, I gawked.

The second year 1 gaped. This

year I just glowed. It was a “‘fine affair.”

As the “Lady In the Window”,

Freda C. DeKnight, producer and

director of the Ebony Fashion

Fair, presented to Atlantans the

very latest fashions {rom Italy,

Paris, and the United States.

These fashions were modeled by

Helen Jones Aginar, Sonjia Amar,

Judith Davis, Corinne Huff, La

Jeune Hundley, Ann Porter, Sue

Streets, Hal De Windt and Aubrey

Tobin. (The latter two models,

Hal and Aubrey, literally had the

female contingent standing up for

a better look).

The presentation was unique.

“The Lady in the Window'’, Miss

DeKnight,peeped out the window

from Monday until Sunday at her

voung and glamorous neighbors.

For each day of the week the

fashions were varied and the col-

ors forecast the look for this win-

ter. A look into the future, Sum-

look in Summer fabrics and de-sign.

The musical background of

Duke Ellington arrangements fea-

tured Dave Rivera at the piano.

Highlights of the show were the

long ball gowns at the “Satin Dell

Ball.”” The ‘“‘satin doll look” fea-

tured elegant satin gowns in to-

mato red. yellow, orchid, white

and blue. The Ebony Blacks, RichBrowns and Subtle Beiges caughtthe imagination of the audienceand thrilled them even if theprices quoted seemed beyondreach for most of us.

Fans at Saturday's FAMU - Morris Brown game were enter-tained at halftime by Florida's 132 piece marching band. While the |Rattlers struck the Wolverines for a 64 - 0 tally, the sparkling half-time show seemed to soften the blow a little.

Price Eleven Holds

BTW to 6-6 Tie

Coach J. W. Merkerson’s Wild-

cats from Price High School con-

tinue to hold their position as the

most surprising school in the city

race. After having tasted grid de-

feats in their first tries, the ‘Cats’

have come back to upset some of

the leaders in city competition.

The Price team proved that the

unbelievable is not the impossible.

The team showed miraculous im-

provement in the tilt against

Washington not only because they

managed to keep the Bulldogs

from beating them but also be-

cause they held them to one TD.

This game can be called the game

of the week. Neither team saw

pay dirt more than once.

The Price TD came late in the

first quarter and was set up when

Price blocked a Washington High

punt and recovered it on the

BTU 13 yard line. Oscar Hudson

butted through the BTW front

wall, blocked and recovered the

punt. A penalty put the ball on

the Washington 28 yard line.

Jordan, the Price QB, tossed a

28 yard TD pass to Henry Evans.

The Wildcats never crossed thegoal line again.

Alert Price linesmen kept the

Washington offensive team con-

stantly in trouble.

It was the Allen-Vaughn combi-

nation for the Washington TD.

Washington took the ball on

Price's 41 yard line. QB Andrew

Vaughn tossed a 33 yard pass to

Joe Allen, who bulled his way

through for the remaining eightyards.

A disputed PAT kept Washing-

ton from tallying the winning

point. Photo by Julius Alexander

East Side - West Side

Sunday the Inquirer will have its eyes on Browntown Roadwhere the new Lincoln Homes Subdivision will begin to display

its model house. We understand that J. C. Johnson Realty Com-

pany plans for over 100 homes to make up this new subdivision.* * * *

Sunday also marks the date of the dedication of the Saint

Paul of the Cross Catholic Church. The site, coupled with the

school, convent and parsonage, will be pleasing to the eye. All

of the buildings which make up the entire facility are modernistic.

* * * *

The widening of Hunter Street has its ups and downs just as

anything else does. The Inquirer has heard many people comment

on the new appearance of the street but several other citizenshave remarked on the narrowness of the new sidewalks. Our own

investigation revealed that the bond issue didn’t make much of a

provision for adequate sidewalk space. Will this have any effect

on the beautiful fronts we thave been admiring lately?* * * *

Beckwith Street will get a touch of modern glamor when the

buildings composing the new Interdenomination Theological

Center are completed. Located near Oglethorpe Elementary

School, the luxurious new grounds will include a dining hall,library, dormitories and classroom buildings. With the completion

of this school, the Atlanta University Center will operate in a

more compact area. ,* *% * *

Frazier’s Cafe Society has been operating full swing since the

opening of the lovely front counter area. Just as predicted, the

new space continues to spread the good word associated with the

Frazier tradition of fine food and good service.
