No Negroes Allowed:

Gov. Faubus Laughs
LITTLE ROCK~The Little Rock Private School Corporation, a group of segregationists, opened last Monday a

private high school for over

650 white students.

Fhe group, a white citizen~s corporation, worked along
with a Baptist organization began registration for the all
white students in a 32 room building. The building is the
former Graduate School of the University of Arkansas.

Faubus Laughs

There are no plans for the
over 700 Negro students who,
along with their. other class-.
mates have been denied public
education because of the Ark.
Gov.~s move in closing all Little Rock~s public high schools.
to prevent intergration. No
race pupils tried to enroll this
~week as Gov. Faubus laughed
~at threats of the NAACP to go
into court and demand admittance of Negroes to the private schools. -

Many ~students who attended
Central High School refused to
register because it has no automotive or woodwork shop facilities. Other students said they
were disappointed because the
school offered courses that they
have taken.

The seniors are the only
eligible students, although officials of the biased school:
said plans will be made for
the other grades. Courses include, Ameriéan history, Engmatics, Algébfa, Seciél Studies, World History.

High Charge

The Baptist group charges tuition of $20 a month for the first
member of the family, $15 for
the second and $10 for the third.
The group is said to operate
from contributions: of southerners.

This is an attempt by Faubus
and group to provide education
for the 3,000 Little Rock students who have not been able
to begin fall classes because"the

NEW YORK~In a taped
recorded interview last week,

Louis Armstrong hit the

1956 New Orleans*law which
prohibits' Negro and white
musicians from playing together as they had in the
past.

~All I, can bay,~ Louis
stated, ~is that the people
who made those laws don~t
know anything about music.
Because in music it doesn~t
make any difference.~

~I don~t run into much
trouble with segregation because I don~t go where I~m
not wanted.~

~And please don~t take
this out I~m going to tell this
straight. I don~t go to New
Orleans anymore.~

fit to recognize the Supreme
Court~s ruling that integration
must prevail in Little Rock
schools.

Don Hayworth
Tells His Aim

East Lansing, Mich. (MNPS)~
~While visiting recently with a
representative of MNPS he suggested~ that I make a statement
for publication regarding the
subject of our conversation,
which was on the importance to
American Negroes of gaining an
improved economic status.

In my limited observation I
have been convinced that his is
of treméndous importance to all
minority groups. If a family has
a satisfactory income there is
available, both to the parents
and the children, a finer spiritual life.

The. other day I was calling
on some families in Lansing

emocratic County
Committee ~had asked a group
of us to try to find the names
of people who weren~t registered.

~It happened to be my lot to call

on a man over seventy years of
age. He has eight children, if I
remember correctly.

As a young man he had come
from. Mississippi, an dlater got
a job in~ Oldsmobile. He bought
a home as soon as he could get
together a down payment. Today,
by steady, hard work he owns
enough houses and ~apartments
to house all his children in neat,
well kept homes. His family, including children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren number
into the dozens. He proudly told
me that he had raised all of
them to be good workers and
thrifty housekeepers.

My heart goes out to a magnificent patriarch like that ~
whatever his race or religion.
Men and women like that will
get along. But the shameful fact
is that they aren~t being given a
full and honest opportunity to
make their full contribution to
society. When they have that
full oportunity, their children
can stride on even further ahead.
They can help unlock the mysteries of science; they can reach
new heights in art.

The struggle today to became
accepted as clerks in_ stores,
teachers in schools, foremen in
factories, will bring new dignity
and more profund human values. We must not stop talking
about civil rights, but give a
man or woman his just and
proper economic rights, and my
conviction is that this will be
the most effective way by which

he can win and maintain aw
civil rights.

~As a people we know that

Negroes Paid To Attend
Ark. Churches -- NAACP

NEW YORK ~ Kttempis ty
groups of Negroes to attend
services at white churches in
Little Rock would appear to be
~a maneuver of the segregationist forces and may well have
been stimulated by some state
officials,~ the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People declares in- a
statement released here by Dr.
Channing H. Tobias, chairman
of the Association~s Board of
Directors.;

The statement; adopted by the

NAACP Board of Directors at}.

its regular monthly meeting
here on Oct. 14, reaffirms the
Association~s conviction that ~the
Churches of Christ should be
voluntarily desegregated everywhere.~ However, it points out,

~an investigation by the NAACP

seems to indicate that worship
in Christian fellowship was not
the real objective~ of those col-.ored persons seeking to attend

churches ~whose ministers have
been moderates on the school
integration question.~

The investigation revealed
that certain of these ~alleged
worshippers~ liad been paid to
attend the white churches and
had been transported to the
churches by, white men as part
of ~an organized effort to em:
