The tensions up created a bitterness is passed on from gen- bo generation, he 6aid, s part of the destruc- chaos—which menaces a people who could on one hand talk-. about the crimes of Hitler and on the other condemn the Japanese in racial terms and keep you in your place at no- matter-what-you-do expense.” As a consequence, he continued, children born during the war and post-war years had a larger margin of economic security (because of the war and post-war booms). “Also, the bitterness their fathers brought home with them—or rather the intransigence their fathers brought home with them—had something to do with the way they raised their children." How Re Sees It In the meantime, Baldwin con­ tended, something began called “the cold war,” and this caused Americans to examine what they were doing and to realize, with a great deal of panic, that other people were watching their ac­ tions. Certain changes then be- gan to occur, be declared. Paramount among these changes, the speaker said, was the Supreme Court decision of 1954, but he denies the altruism of motives widely attributed to the court and its actions. contradict that point of view.” In today’s young leaders, he continued, ‘we are now con­ fronted with a whole generation of young Negroes who stand on the ground or the height of ach­ ievement bequeathed by their ancestors who never saw this world, the world in which we move now, but who somehow in­ culcated in their sons and their daughters a sense of dignity and pride... They (the youth) have never’ said ’yes, sir’ or ‘no, sir’ to anybody.” Misrepresentation About misrepresentations hi American history, be declared: “We have lied about some­ thing so long that everyone has come to believe it.. .We’ve come to believe that somehow we are a separate race—the Negro a separate race from the white people—and we’ve lied about the fact that we’re broth­ ers and sisters and mother and. uncles and cousins and have' been for 400 years.” Brooke Beaux SO, including four who were among the original guildsmen of 1940. Chairman Moon said that while the ball has grown in promi­ nence, artistry and sophistica­ tion; as well as attendance, It has experienced blunted success recently through the decrease of Negro ballgoers. Nevertheless, she expects this year's attendance to hM 1,000 or more, bettering previous rec­ ords set, Including those nt the old Savoy Ballroom which had been the scene ol most of the ball extravaganzas. Schaefer officials feel, too, that the contest end of the opus will draw more voter participation this year, topping the 2,000,000 votes cast last year.

"Nothing was ever too hard for her. She pushed the sales <4 the tickets, got in touch with people and stayed up nights making the plans.” she added. 2000,000 Votes Of course, as Mrs. Moon readi­ ly admits, she could not have done half as much as she has accomplished without the work of assistants which now number Western (Continued from Page One) president of the American1 Com­ munications Association, a trade union which represents all West­ ern Union workers In the Metro­ politan area, and sixteen mess­ engers, for themselves and on behalf of. approximately 500 New York Western Union messengers currently being paid $1.15 per hour. It is estimated that 60 per cent of these messengers are Negroes and Puerto Ricans. Named as co-defendants with Western Union are the City of New York, Mayor Robert F. Wag­ ner and Acting Commissioner of Labor James J. McFadden. The complaint charges that the tfompany failed to pay all Its messenger employees the $1.25 minimum and the city failed to enforce the provisions of the law. Noting that Local Law 59 has been declared invalid by deci­ sion of the State Supreme Court, the union complaint argues that the city statue is, indeed, valid, or at least valid in its applica­ tion to employees of compnles engaged in interstate commerce, such as Western Union.

TH« BUCKINGHAM CORPORATION ROCKEFELLER CENTER • NEW YORK IMPORTERS • BLENDED M PROOF (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) i -Gantt officials at the 74-year old, state- supported school have quietly I been preparing students for the possible entrance of Gantt, and officials feel conditions are not similar to that at the University of Mississippi where James Meredith faced bitter violence ? | on his entrance. South Carolina, which is the s last state in the south to now have s court-ordered school Integration, c has had several racist state- { ments in the past few days sur­ rounding the entrance of Gantt, , son of a Charleston, S.C., ship- j yard worker, but NAACP of- ] ficials In the state feel that racial t communications between whites ; and Negroes will aid in easing problems. « "I have every feeling that law and order will prevail,” Rev. I D. Quincey Newman, NAACP field secretary for South Carol­ ina, told the Amsterdam News.| Typical of the racist stale ments was that of South Carol-’ ins’s diehard Sen. Strom Thur­ mond, who termed the court’s! order as ”a mockery of Justice ” ! Mrs. Constance Baker Motley, chief attorney for Gantt, who is expected to accompany him to Clemson Monday when he will seek to register for the next semester, noted that only in Al­ abama where integration wasi ordered in 1956, are there no Negroes in the colleges. She said there are presently some ap­ plications at the University of Alabama and indicated the NAACP Legal Defense Fund would help their fight. Gantt, a former B student at Iowa State, dropped out last fall to press his application to be admitted to Clemson as a trans­ fer student. He is majority in architecture, and is in his junior year. CUTTY SARK, . blended SCOTS WHISKY Authority to install an escalator < at the 125th Street and Lexington Avenue subway stop one of the busiest In the City “Where else on the entire vast underground rapid transit sys­ tem do riders have to climb the equivalent of six flights to , get to the street?” Colonel Phil- ipp asked James B. Edmunds, general manager of the Transit Authority. Some of those daily mountain climbers are hardy youngsters, Colonel Philipp admitted, but they ate in the minority. Most of them, he said, are older persons who work in the area. But whether young or old, all of them are exhausted when they reach the sidewalk. * An even grimmer picture was painted by Jack Daving, Board secretary of the Chamber, who for more than 20 years, has op- I crated a dry cleaning establish­ ment on Lexington Avenue, be­ tween 125th and 126th Streets. Handicapped Workers “The most pitiful sight,’* said Mr. Daving, "is to see handi­ capped workers of the Goodwill Industries plant in East 124th Street near Lexington Avenue struggling up those stairs. Out patients of the Hospital For Joint Diseases, 124th Street and Mad­ ison Avenue, also find it a severe hardship to reach the street even from the second level (north­ bound trains)?’ Daving added that he had of­ ten seen physically-fit young po­ lice officers of the 25th precinct in East 126th Street puffing after trudging up the 84 steps. The obvious solution to the problem, the Chamber told the Transit Authority, is to "provide an escalator from the lowest level to the street level, or at least to the mezzanine floor.” "We strongly urge you to do this,” the Chamber’s letter con­ cluded, "and to do it as speedily as plans can be drawn and con­ tracts let.” I II 11 ill* I ci 11 FRI. & SAT.

It has not been settled in any court yet. Before this, whenever the Justice Depart­ ment has sought authority to file suits on behalf of school children In previous civil rights bills, Southern Congressmen have al­ ways blocked efforts to write jsuch authority into the law.
