It was called to plan the $100 a plate dinner to be held on June 18th at the Park Sheraton Hotel. Action However, midway the meeting, aggressive Arnold Forster, man of action heading the Anti-Defa­ mation League, strode to the speakers platform, and took the microphone from Marguerite Bel­ afonte. “I know it has been said that we are not raising money here, but what is described in Birming­ -Telegram tContinued from Page One) and the use of high pressure hoses, all in an appalling dis­ play of violence, has compound­ ed the violation of constitutional rights. “How well we remember, dur­ ing the course of your efforts to become President, your promises to- protect, to embrace and to further the highest and noblest of human goals . . . freedom. “Today how sadly we view the total, moral collapse of your response to the pleas of millions of .Americans to protect and safeguard the rights of twenty million Negro citizens ham is atrocity.

A deluge followed. Jackie Robinson matched Forster’s check and the Amsterdam News gave $500. Others, coming faster than Mrs. Belafonte could announce them were: $1000 Donations Bernard Singer and Irving Fed- er, $1000 each.

In cooperation with the drive, many ministers will be making appeals for these children if their sermons on Mother's Day, Sun­ day, May 11 Many of the children are in­ fants under two years of age but the group includes boys and girls of all ages. Most of the children are now living at the Department of Welfare's child­ ren’s shelters. Some of the chil­ dren can be adopted. Others need foster homes for indefinite per­ iods because their own parents are physically or mentally ill.

MY B.ABY - A Negro reach­ es out to restrain a woman who screams, “You’ve got my baby” as she rushes towards the Birmingham, Ala. city Jail recently during a racial dem­ onstration. More than 2,000 singing, chanting Negroes marched six blocks from a Negro church to a park across from the city jail. Police per­ mitted them to hold a 15- minute demonstration aimed at bolstering the spirits of more than 1,200 Negroes who are in Jail for participation in previous demonstrations. Half of those jailed were ju­ veniles. A Rap On The Wrist Teacher Racially Abuses Pupil; He’s Transferred By SARA SLACK For the first time in the memory of Harlem’s oldest citizens a white teacher was suspended for calling a Negro student a “n-----r” but a group of the teacher’s superiors, working with the local school board, reversed the principal’s decision and changed the ruling to a reprimand and transfer from the school district. Bernard Wilson, the 7th and 9th grade mathematics teacher at Junior High School 139, 140 W. 140th Street, was dismissed last Tuesday by principal, David Press berg, immediately after he reportedly insulted a Negro stu­ dent in the school yard. Ask Aid Of UN In Birmingham After listening to some of the sixty students who said they heard Wilson refer to a fellow student with a derogatory racial phrase, Pressberg told Wilson, he was dismissed from all duties, Charging that America’s major religious, social, la­ bor and political forces have failed in the Birming- a™* Ar- of Education investigation shows nold Hedgeman, former As- that you are not guilty of what these students say you are.” .is „ f - . “The brutal attack with fire jQ Ylavor Wasner and dogs on children marcli- ° ling for freedom in Birmingham Norman Horowitz, administra- and a toP Federal Aide Of js the immediate incident which tive assistant to Pressberg said: President Truman, has dramatizes the total struggle of ttN cprrptflrv *he Negro citizen,” Mrs. Hedge- P L 5 C aI7 man said in appealing to U Thant “Mr. Pressberg dismissed him. ,, d . , „e told him that It was best labor and political forces have failed to effectively stop the im­ moral, illegal and uneonsti tutional behavior of the majori­ ty of white Americans toward the people of color in America generally.

(special) — The newest addi­ tion to Sterling Forest Gardens — which opened Saturday, May 4 — Is a place for quiet con­ templation and for prayer. This hilltop retreat, secluded by position and plantings, is the Garden If Aft Faiths. A tremendous altar-stone — a pink granite boulder of ten tons,^ — is the focal point of the hill top garden. This stone was moved to its present setting from the top of nearby Sterling Fails, where it bad been left by an ice-age glacier. Behind the altar stone, the trees have been thinned out in order to form an arch. The arch encloses a view of the top of a tree-covered mountain and the open sky. “Dr. Shapp said that Bernard Chatter After meeting for nearly two hours, the board struck down the principal's ruling and re- | versed his suspension of Wilson. The Amsterdam News was told by a spokesman in Shapp’s of­ fice: I Wilson will never again work in his district. It seems that this man is a dedicated teacher.

Arnold Forrester, of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, addressing a luncheon of the civic lead­ ers to raise funds for Ne­ groes in Birmingham, said, “If the President were to lead a little Negro girl down the streets of Bir­ mingham it would make all the difference in the world.” Tuesday night more than 1,200 members of Local 144 roared approval of a resolution calling upon President Kennedy “to join hands with the children marchers in Birmingham and thereby demonstrate to the na­ tion and all the world that America means what it says about equality of treatment and opportunity for all.” Resolution Passed The resolution passed by the meeting of the union of hospital workers was one of hundreds of similar appeals made for White House intervention in the inter­ nationally-focused crisis in Bir­ mingham. Officials of New York CORE and scores of individuals also sent appeals to the Presi­ dent. Meanwhile Roy Wilkins, NA ACP executive secretary .an­ nounced that NAACP branch es in more than 100 of the na­ tion’s largest cities would hold picketing demonstrations around “city halls, and state houses” on Saturday and Sunday in sup port of the anti-segregation dem onstrators in Birmingham. The Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake deplored white official sanction of the terror and force in Birmingham, as a means of curbing freedom, but praised the stoicism of Negroes fighting for democracy. “Certainly, we could under stand, if after peaceful efforts have failed again and again, why these people, embittered by Christian hypocrisy, might choose violence and retribution as the path to follow. This is we would nert.” pect. Continuing, he said: “Can I ask you to pray for the Negroes of Birmingham this morning? Of course, that is easy. But can I ask from you the miracle of prayer for the police­ men and those who planned these hateful indignities? I can­ not ask you.” Find More DC School Segregation More public schools are segre­ gated in Washington today than nine years ago when integration was ordered by the Supreme Court, according to the Saturday Evening Post published this week. Alvin Shuster and Ben A. Franklin, New York Times re­ porters, pointed out in the Post article that investigators of the Thanksgiving Day football game race riot partially blamed inad­ equate school facilities and lack of integration for the violence. Police, however, "have stead­ fastly refused” to call the dis­ turbance a race riot or even to describe it as a “racial incident” although more than 500 persons were injured in the free-for-aU, the reporters stated. Integration, Shuster and Franklin observed, simply “brought to the fore conditions that already existed in inferior all - Negro schools and extended them to other schools.” They said that after the deseg­ regation ruling nine years ago Negro and white children attend­ ed 73 per cent of the city schools together. But white residents “be­ gan pouring out of Washington”, Negroes moved in and the result is that enrollment in 115 of the 180 public schools is now all Ne­ gro or better than 90 per cent, according to the reporters. -Madison (Continued from Page One) has been no intimidation.

I can’t transfer the principal, so I asked her, the lesser in position, to transfer. And this is my answer. I’m truly hurt.” An outspoken NAACP member who taught for twelve years in Richmond. Virginia, Miss Madi­ son said that when this City hired her ten years ago, she requested Harlem schools, knowing their ex-1curriculum was as inequal and offensive as that offered Negro pupils in Richmond, Virginia.
