Negroes facing the bitter reaction of frustrated bigots to their tremendbus : Uprising against social injustices, may not yet be conit elsewhere in the South and even iii the North. 'In Maces where the Negro had Jiftleulty in finding an ear willing to listen to his supplications for better treatment, bi-racial committees are being hastily formed to ward off “other Birminghams.” In others, where He got only the jobs no one else wanted, there is talk now of upgrading. Elsewhere, concerned city officials are talking about making room on the public payrolls for Negro job seekers who have long been standing idly by waiting for opportunities that should have been theirs all alohg. Even up North, where Negroes have generally enjoyed a bit more freedom, they’re finding whites a little' more sympathetic to their demands for open occupancy, higher bracket jobs, greater recognition of their political strength, increased concern about de facto school segregation, slum eradicaiion and police brutality. Ever in the Deep South, stronghold o e the segregationists and the nation’s major sore spot, the change being wrought through the militancy of oppressed Negroes who are convinced they have suffered too much, too long, is evi-

The nlan, which has the endorsement of Mayor John Duncan, is aimed at achieving the “orderly desegregation of ail public facilities” and n ay make Knoxville the most thoroughly integrated city

in the South.

As in all the other Southern areas where progress is noted, pressure by Negroes through pieketings and demonstrations brough about the change here. li Hampton, Va., has moved for-!, ward with the formation of

ery in a goou cause.” He indicated that Dr. King is pressing the “rights now” strategy for expediency in his campaign. Both Dr. Logan and Prof. Brown declared, that today’s young get-it-now rights fighters are no different than they were four decades ago. The difference between their approach in the ’20s and the present, is that the current rights advocates, such as members of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality, Dr. Logan and Prof. Brown said, are unrealistic. The two termed the immediate demands of today’s integrationists,

“nonsense.”

Browvi then took an indirect swipe at the United States Supreme Court for its desegregation

ruling of 1954 in these words.

“My position in the 1920s was that I knew segregation could not be changed swiftly. I know the South. I didn’t need any talk about ‘all deliberate speed’—al though I think it has been too deliberate. But I couldn’t conceive of anybody believing it could be ended just like that—The professor snapped his finger to

indicate what he meant.

Although he didn’t explain what is really wrong with demanding iust rights how, Dr. Logan attacked the impatient young inte-

grationists in this manner:

“When they say we want it now, that’s nonsense, because they’re

not going to get it now.”

Attacking King for what he indicated is a two-faced attitude,

(Bill) Butler had asked for the death sentence, for John Lee Nelson. 21, contending that it was “murder for profit.” He was charged with the shotgun slaying of Louis Scott, May

24, 1961.

Fred A. Newith Jr., defense attorney, argued that Scott, 52, was a “boisterous bully” and a "wick-

ed, unruly person.”

But he presented no evidence to contradict police testimony that Nelson, confessed to the crime. Nel-

son didn’t testify.

The jury of two women and 1U men. one a Negro, deliberated a-

bout 2 i 2 hours.

Judge Kirby postponed pronouncing sentence 30 days to allow Newith to file a motion for a

You see, he’s engaged in demogoguery in a good cause— he’s not a social scientist. “And to get all those people stirred un, he can’t go telling them time will take care of these things. “He’s got to kep them feeling this sense of urgency, and that is the way these youngsters here at (Howard) university feel, too.

A group of Negro citizens in Columbus, Ga., gave city fathers a four-point desegregation ultimatum, declaring that unless their requests are met they will cirA in “outside forces.” Meanwhile, at Columbia, S.C., Gov. Carl Sanders urged fellow Southerners to accept integration as inevitable. Sanders said he is not one to invite change for its own sake. “But to refuse to change the wsrld around you is changing is far more dangerous,”

he said.

Un North, in New York, the NAACP announced plans to attack de facto segregation in northern schools in a national campaign embracing 25 states and ranging from New England to California, with the Midwest in-

cluded.

Englewood, N.J., a group of Negro parents called off a planned boycott at two predominantly white sehols after meeting with the superintendent of schools to discuss precedent-setting state decision against racial segregation. The 54 parents had previously defied a board of education order to cease boycott and sit-in protests. In Chicago, the superintendent
