News Of The Week National The city of Jackson, Miss., once the scene of the Freedom Rides, loomed as the new showdown city In the Negro fight for equality. NAACP officials scheduled a mass meeting for Tuesday night and planned demonstrations for later this week if city officials refuse to follow Supreme CourLrulings and end racial discrimination in public places. The Jackson move came as Negroes continued demonstrations in Raleigh, Durham, and Greensboro, N.C., and stepped up demands for racial equality in several others including several cities in Tennessee and awaited the next showdown in Alabama. Backed by Supreme Court decisions on desegre­ gation in the past two weeks, the Kennedy adminis­ tration was moving in Washington this week to speed legislation to open more schools and public facilities in an effort to retain control of events in the rapidly moving civil rights revolution. International Plans for President Kennedy’s audience with Pope John XXIII next month in Vatican City were suspended this week as Catholics throughout the world prayed for recovery of the 81-year-old Pontiff from a second attack of internal bleeding.

LEAZER DURHAM. N. C. — Roy Wil­ kins, NAACP Exeeuthe Secre­ tary, defied the wishes of Dur­ ham’s new Mayor Wense Graba- rek and local NAACP leaders and assailed the white southern leadership in a speech here Thursday night. Wilkins told the rally, attended by more than 2,000 persons of both races, “We black people in America are helping this coun­ try to rediscover its soul, to re­ discover the Declaration of Inde­ pendence. We’re giving it blood and life, and we’re reviving the country.” He urged the students who have been conducting the demon­ strations here, “Don’t quit. Don’t stop marching . . . until you come to an honorable agreement. But when you come to that honorable agreement, I know that you will be honorable and keep the agreement. “And after aU the hard words are over, after all the names have called, after all the fists Unions Urged To Be Fair SYRACUSE — Commissioner George H. Fowler, Chairman of the State Commission for Human Rights, urged labor Tuesday to make the union label more meaningful by promoting equal opportunity for all workers, re­ gardless of race or color. ' Commissioner Fowler spoke at the 36th Annual Convention of the Union Label and Service Trades Department of the State of New York, AFL-CIO, at the Syracuse Hotel. The Commtoeico Chairman serted that apprenticeship pro­ grams in labor unions "are mov­ ing. forward in embracing all Americans as well as they should.” J "We must face up realistically to the fact that there are unions which exclude journeymen apprentices who are qualified — AND I mast say here, emphati­ cally, that If any man comes be­ fore thia Commission with a com­ plaint against such a union, we shall process It moat vigorously In the belief that such exclusion is undemocratic, la un-American, and is harmful to the American community. I might add, tt City and State Harlemites were chuckling up their sleeves at what they considered the “ineptitude” of Bobby Kennedy in the fiasco he and author James Baldwin staged with some Negro “leaders” last week. The question Harlem raised was, “Who do they lead?” • • * • Gov.

The money represents fees of fifty cents each pupil had to pay ten times a year to see profes sional shows either brought to Ills school or presented in an­ other part of the City. The mushrooming charges of missing money came to light and began spreading last week when a group of parents, who are mem­ bers of the PS 123 Parents As­ sociation told this newspaper that Erwin C. Kaufman, principal and Dr. Charles M. Shapp, assistant superintendent, refused to per­ mit an audit or records of the money collected from the school children daring the school year, 1961-62. They said money collected from Harlem pupils since 1959 totals nearly $100,000. JACKSON, Miss. — “We ari prepared to demon­ strate until we get our rights! Nobody here is afraid anymore.” The speaker was Medger Evers, NAACP field secre­ tary here, as he disclosed that the Negro community here was more aroused than ever before and would begin mass demonstrations probably Tuesday. Ever’s comments came after Mayor Alan Thomp­ son bad rejected the re­ quests of Negroes here to begin token integration and a group of thirteen Negroes walked out on the meeting after Thompson refused to appoint a biracial commit­ tee to look into the city’s racial problems. “We will begin mass demonstrations Tuesday, and will hold a mass rally Tuesday night at the Pearl Street AME CliuTch. We have gotten so many phone calls to help, I don’t see how we can fail,” Evers declared. New Target Cite Promise The parents said that In pay­ ment for their organization sub­ sidizing the entertainment pro­ gram In the school, which Includ­ ed ballets, dramas and musicals, Kaufman and Shapp promised them that their Parents Asso­ ciation treasury would be given half of the proceeds. They said two weeks ago, they became suspicious when Kauf­ man sent them a $106 check for their treasury. They said that Kaufman, at one point had told them the collection had reached $2,500 and there was still plenty Jackson, Miss., thus loomed as the new center target of the nationwide Negro demonstrations, and as the NAACP’s new hard core center of attack against rigid racial bar­ riers.
