Mississippi Passes 8 Bills, to Halt Sit-Down Demonstrations

JACKSON, Miss (ANP) — The House of Representatives here last week, in no mood to tolerate sitdown demonstrations here, rammed through eight bills aimed at discouraging Negro drives for

equality.

Eight hills were quickly passed and in doing -so the legislators skipped discussion of them for fear of laying the basis of attempts to have the federal government declare them unconstitutional. The eight bills—companions to othgrig approved earlier in the session—would levy stiff penalties for sit-down demonstrations in white lunchrooms or other businesses and hold over the heads of participating Negro college students the

threat of dismissal as undesirables. PERSONS WHO make false statements in civil rights investigations would be subjected to penalties of a $1,000 fine and a 5-year prison sentence. Rep. Thompson McClellan of Clay County, who steered the bills declined to answer questions from the floor or to make any statement other than “you know what this bill does,” the time-honored phrase meaning barrier to integration. The absence of floor discussion apparently was a result of a warning by Rep. J. P. Coleman of Choctaw County when he was governor that such discussions could be used by federal courts in arriving at decisions in cases based upon the bills Other segregation bills passed would make it unlawful to: 1. Obstruct the streets, highways and sidewalks under penalty of $400 fine and 4 months in jail. 2. Interfere with another’s business on his premises under penalty of $500 fine and 6 months in jail. S. Cause a disturbance on a public conveyance, participate in mob action or use improper language under penalty of $200 fine and 4 months iii jail. 5. Resist arrest under penalty of $500 fine and. B months in

jail.

The bill to threaten Negro college students would require the state college board to keep a file of streets, charges and dispositions of cases of every student arrested for violations other than minor traffic offenses. Although nothing was said on the floor, one lawmaker said the bill would permit dismissal of Negro students who participate in demonstrations against whites.

.A soda] worker felt it v'ouid not succeed. Her friends thought there might be some community reaction. But in the 16 years that Mrs. Ann Johnston and her husband have been the “parents” of a Negro girl, Mrs. Johnston has discovered that “mother love can go beyond birth and race and the usual circumstances . because mine does.” White parents of a Nesro daughter whom, they adopted when she was nine, the Johnstons live in Kent, Wash, a community of few non-whites. Ever since they first began taking foster children into their home, they have had a number of non-whites—Eskimo, Indian, Chinese, and Mexican) But when they decided to adopt Patty, new difficulties beset them. In the May issue of Ebony Magar zine, Mrs. Johnston deals with her experience of rearing a Negro daughter, tells how she handled the legal and personal problems which arose and describes how she deals with people who think she has made a mistake. “Yeans ago," she says, “we identified ourselves with those who face discrimination; b’T we cannot fully share it. We are free to walk away whenever we choose.” But after having Patty in her home for nearly 17 years and choosing to adopt her instead of youngsters whose racial background would have posed no problem, Mrs. Johnston declares simply: “She is my child, by law and by the love I have for her.”
