t »' I , -r-»~s 'fF understanding to the Negro com­ munity’s “more forthright and ur­ gent resentment over ever-broken hopes and promises.” While the new Negro militancy carries with it some expressions of disenchantment and resent­ ment of the white liberal, Mr. Schary said that American Jews and their organization* have and will continue to play a major role in helping to bring about greater progress toward equal opportunity. “Granted, the Negro's patience has been almost infinite to thia point. It is easy to understand his resentment of those who claim to be his friends and ad­ vocates, but, to this day, keep talking of ‘gradualism’ — with­ out appreciation of the pain the Negro suffers every day,” Schary said. " ’ v — Top Films SCHARY The famed producer, whose screen efforts have produced such films as “Crossfire," Black­ board Jungle,” “Bad Day a 4 Black Rock,” and other signifi­ cant motion pictures with a strong racial theme, said he felt that Negro leadership must be reassured about the position of Jewish groups, that there will said the whole nation was wait­ ing for strong action from the White House. To help reduce local tensions in New York, Schary said he would like to see a meeting of Ne­ gro and white leaders of all de­ nominations and examine causes of local tensions to see what can be done. est in the overall fight for equal opportunity. “He asserted that the Am' ri- can Jewish community, particu­ larly since the Hitler holocaust, has thrown “much of its ener­ gy and ideological strength into the fight for democracy for all as the one assurance of security for itself.” Hour Of Song A Spring benefit of the Pas­ tor’s Aid Society of Mt.

"We would never have agreed to the hiring of just one Negro after 2,800 people have gone to jail,” said Shuttlesworth. He said it was possible that Smyer had made the statement in order to • save face” for the white people of Birmingham. • “But,” said Shuttlesworth, ‘ even if he were doing that he was wrong be­ cause it is wrong to "misedu- cate the white people of thia city.” Not Threatening “I’m not threatening any­ body,” Shuttlesworth said. “But we have met these people in good faith and drawn up an agreement in the presence of a representative of the President of the United States, and if they don’t keep that agreement I’m going to start the demonstrations all over again and they will be much greater in intensity than they were before.” STOP SIGN — Smoldering em­ bers are all that is left of two buildings across this intersec­ tion and a grocery store where onlookers linger and inspect damages. The fires resulted when demonstrating Negroes took revenge after Birming­ ham whites bombed and blew up the home of Reverend A.D. King, brother of Reverend Mar­ tin Luther King. — (UPI Photo) -Eartha (Continued from Page One*- cause I am married to a white man. but being married to a white man doesn’t make me any less a Negro or a fighter for civil rights,'* the sultry Miss Kitt said in an interview back stage of the Apollo Theatre after returning from the bitter rally experience.

That is why I bothered to edu­ cate myself, not go to school for it, and put myself in • position where I could be treated as an equal. "Too many Negroes get angry and just sit back and want some­ thing to come to them just be­ cause they are black,” Miss Kitt declared. “Sitting back and complaining about what others are doing or what you are not getting isn’t going to help us at all,” Miss Kitt declared. Using Anger “Anger is a wonderful thing, but it is not being used cor­ rectly by some people,” she as­ serted. Miss Kitt said that race should not be used as “a crutch,” and appealed to Negroes not to forget that we would not be as far as we are without the sup­ port of liberal whites. She added that she has long helped Dr. King and other civil rights causes, but she has not used it for publicity reasons. “Often a pin prick at the right place can do more than mere soapbox oratory,” Miss Kitt de­ clared. Heap Smoke Employees of the Amsterdam News Annex at 261 W. 126th St, were forced to evacuate the office shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday when acrid smoke set off by an overheated ail burner in the basement created a near panic. Five fire trucks responded to the emergency alarm that was seat out following the smolder, and the oil burner unit was cut off. There was no damage. Firemen said a delayed spark in the electrical unit of the burner was the source of the trouble.

The court officials are pictured by the source as being unwilling to drop charges against the children or to give them clean records to go back to school. Many of the children arrested were charged with unlawfully parading and have been released from jail but face $100 fines and 180 days in jail. The Negro leadership raised $160,000 to bail out the thousands of demonstrators thus charged in the hopes that the charges would be dropped. As a matter of fact they promised the children that this would be done. . Watchful Waiting And everyone admits that if the charges are not dropped, or if school officials press truancy charges against students who were absent and not arrested, no one will be able to stop the kids from starting their devastating demonstration all over again. And the Ne­ gro leadership plainly admits that it will not try. At this point, nothing is being done. Everyone is waiting to see what the courts will do and hoping that the change in city government will bring about a more receptive attitude toward giving the students a clean bill of health. -Brother (Continued from Page One) ham. Johannesburg, South Africa, is second only to Birmingham,” •aid the minister. The Rev. King flew here Tues­ day from Birmingham to attend a rally the same night in Harlem, sponsored by the Emergency Committee to Support Birming­ ham. . Weak President He described the city as “the real danger to America’’ and added that developments there were going out “all over the world.” ; , In answer to questions from re­ porters on whether the Negroes of • Birmingham were satisfied with the support given them by the White House, the Rev. King made it clear that President Ken nedy has provided only “weak moral leadership.” “President Kennedy needs first to point out that strong constitu­ tional rights are involved here, he said. “He has said nothing of this.” If the White House were to take such a step, the Rev. King added it would “have a tremendous effect on the civil rights battle in Birmingham and throughout the South. The minister sounded some positive notes on the crisis in Birmingham. Negroes Confident He said he was confident that the agreement reached between Negroes and whites on desegrega­ tion would “stand.” He 9aid attempts by Safety Commissioner Eugene (Bull) Connor to persuade white segre­ gationists to boycott the stores of the merchants and businessmen who agreed to desegregate would not make any significant head­ way. He said the morale of Negro demonstrators was high and that they were confident of victory because “our cause is just. We are right.” He expressed a cautious con­ fidence in Mayor-elect Alfred Boutwell whom, he said, was 9ent into office by a substantial num­ ber of Negro voters. He brushed aside contentions by Black Muslim leader Malcolm X that the violence assertedly dis­ played by a portion of Negro demonstrators suggested dissatis­ faction with Dr. King's non­ violence doctrine.

Americans, however, can sup­ port the Freedom Fight in the South by flooding Washington with letters, letting the White House know that they’re not satisfied with the government’s role in the civil rights fight, the Rev.
