Freedom Riders Get New Trial Date in Miss.

JACKSON, Miss. (ANP) — More than 180 “Freedom Riders” filed by twos before Hind County court here last week and pleaded innocent to breach of peace charges, setting the stage for a long series of appeal trials. The convicted riders were arraigned and given trial dates in the county court room with ‘ a segregated but non-segregated atmosphere. They sat on benches on the first floor in an integrated manner, white and Negro defendants rose and stood side by side when their names were called in pairs. THE ATTORNEYS’ table before Hinds County Judge Russell Moore was integrated with Jackson Negro Attorney Jack Young sitting bedde his co-counsel William N. Kunstlicr of New York City. The 20urt room balcony, where the reporters sat, was strictly segregated. However, whites and Negroes used the same rest rooms on the second floor, the doors which read “male defendants” and “female defendants.” Most of the riders from at least ien states are currently free on appeal bond. The court intends to try at least two cases per day beginning Aug. 22, and continue .wo-a-day, five days a week until Jan. 19, with three days off for Christmas and one for New Year’s day. Although originally billed as an appeal of their convictions the upcoming trials are legally the first appearance of the Freedom Riders in a court of record.

Ex-Policemen I Are Sentenced In Scandal Case

CHICAGO (ANP) — Criminal Court Judge James Benton Parsons, slated to become the first Negro federal district judge in continental United States, last week sentenced the last of eight former Chicago policemen and then swept to his chambers, wiping tears from his eyes. “I am older by a lifetime,” he said to a friend in the office behind the courtroom. “The sentencing, I knew, would be the hardest part,” he said, his voice breaking. “AH the knowledge of the law in the world can’t tell you what to do. ?ou just sit there, alone, with the lives of those men in your hands. “You have to bring to the task every moment of understanding and experience in your life. You must be far more than a lawyer.” FIVE FORMER policemen, convicted as members of the Summerdale police burglary ring, were sentenced to the Illinois state penitentiary. At the same time, Judge Parsons sentenced a sixth defendant to six months in the county jail and fined him $1,000. The judge also officially imposed fines of $500 each which were ordered for two other defendants on Wednesday night by the allwoman jury that returned guilty verdicts against seven of the expolicemen. NEXT MONTH, after the United States Senate confirms his nomination by President Kennedy as the first Negro in history to be given a life time appointment as a federal District judge, Judge Parson will move from the Criminal court to the federal building where he worked for a decade as top prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office. Parsons, 50, has only eight months behind him as a judge, but he brought to the bench—and has subsequently enhanced—a reputation among many attorneys as a lawyer’s lawyer.

White Educator Warns Negroes of 'The Rood Ahead' HOUSTON (ANP)—“In the future you will be rejected more for ignorance than you will for race,” a white scholar and minister told Texas Southern University’s 168-member summer graduating class here last week. Dr. Adam Beittel, recently appointed president of Tougaloo Southern Christian College, Jackson, Miss., emphasized to the graduates that “it is your job as teachers and leaders to prepare young people for the road ahead.” His address was entitled “The Road Ahead.” Before being named to the Tougaloo position, Beittel served as uresident of Talladega College, Talladega, Ala., and was on the faculty of Beloit College in Wisconsin. He also had served as a minister of churches in Montana and Tennessee. “PEOPLE I HAVE talked to in Jackson where I am now living, say that both Negroes and whites prefer segregation. But cooks and maids say what their listeners want to hear and not what they actually think,” Beittel said. The speaker referred to an article in a recent issue of a national magazine which, he says, accused many ministers in the south of compromising their beliefs. Beittel said the article stated that “some ministers, in fear, are soft-pedaling the truth.” And, he added, “11 A.M. Sunday remains one of the most segregated hours of the week.” Beittel, a student of the so- . cial sciences and religion, said the success of the Negro nonviolent movement is based on the Christian notion of returning good for evil. In conclusion, Beittel warned the graduates to prepare themselves for the opportunities that the technology of the future will t offer them.

'Mobile Class, Caste Ratings' Under Fire.

MOBILE, Ala. (ANP) — Class or caste distinction among colored citizens was vigorously protested by the Citizens’ Committee last week in a complaint to the City Commission and the Mobile County Personnel Board. The organization’s objection to this policy was prompted by the use of the words “Creole” and “Negro” in reference to newly named firemen to the ’ Mdblie tf’re 'Department. " ^ In the letter to the city commissioners and the personnel board, J. L. LeFlore, director of case work for the Citizens’ Committee, said that public officials could ill afford to encourage “a color line within the color line” among Negro or colored citizens. He also questioned the thinking of persons of “our own group” who would insist upon a spurious racial or class identification for themselves. THE CIVIL RIGHTS official scored as "ridiculous” indications of a class or caste division within the Negro ethnic group, and asserted it was more reprehensible than the non sensical lines drawn by whites against all citizens of color. LeFlore also declared that “we hold as inviolable the principle that

RICHMOND, Va. — A federal judge last week declared invalid the use of public funds to finance segregated schools in Prince Edward County while public schools are closed. The schools have been closed since June, 1959, as part of the county’s anti-desegregation fight. Judge Oren Xl. Lewis] of Alexandria, a native of Indiana, ruled that the use of tuition

Prince Edward County’s school problems first reached national attention in 1951, when the suit was instituted. The case was one ef those decided in the basic United States Supreme Court desegregauoh opinions in 1954. JUDGE LEWIS, who reviewed the case’s history in his decision, id the county portion of funds used in tuition grants was illegal be-rHise the county’s action in closing schools and in appropriating funds to aid segregated schooling nullitied “a constitutionally protected right.” He said the payment of state grants to Prjnee Edward residents was illegal because they were intend its ‘scholarships’ would be choice” between public and private schooling. “The state did not intend its ‘scholars!: V would be available in communlues without public schools,” he declared. In other parts of his 19-page decision, Judge Lewis: Declared tax credits allowed for contributions to pr ate schools in the county illeg r.i. Deferred a decision whether the public school could be legally closed to avoid integration until the Virginia Supreme Court rules on the issue. Directed county officials to prepare a desegregation plan for elementary schools. Such a plan had been previously ordered by the court but had

never been submitted. Judge Lewis noted that the county closed its public schools in June, 1959, apparently in anticipation of a desegregation order by the District Court here. The county’s 1,500 white pupils since then have been attending accredited segregated schools operated by the Prince Edward School Foundation. THE COUNTY’S 1,800 Negro pupils, he reported, have received no formal educaton since then, although some 400 of them have attended training centers for basic reading, writing and arithmetic. About 400 attended a special four weeks crash program along the be the mecca for the nation’s

Over 6,000 Negroes Received B.A. Degrees In June, Survey Shows NEW YORK — An NAACP spot survey released this week indicates that 6,708 Negro youth received bachelor degrees last spring from the 50 institutions participating in the tally. Total enrollment for the participating colleges and universities is 68,184 according to the 50th annual educational survey in the AugustSeptember issue of Crisis, official NAACP organ The study includes information from Negro colleges only, since “mixed schools” no longer keep official records of their students by race. Additional graduates received 435 various master’s degrees and 210 doctorates. Of these, Howard University awarded 91 master’s and 132 doctorate degrees.

La. Faces Loss Of $22 Million In Federal Aid NEW ORLEANS (ANP) — Unless Louisiana conforms to federal requirements, the state’s aid-to-be-dependent-children program fades loss of $21,000,000 In U.

Most of the children affected by the new law are Negro, and oft* of the organizations strongly pro* testing the withdrawal of aid wis the National Urban League.
