Invited to Leave
Democratic Party
National Chairman
Paul Butler "Tens
Off" Segregationists
Mv the A*sotlaVefl Necro Pries
WASHINGTON—Southern Dixit1-
crata hopped on Ih*moerntio nntionnl
chairman Paul M. lint lor last week,
angrily nccuaing him of radicalism,
after Butler invited segrcgation-lovinj:
poli;iotatiH. piincipnJIy Gov. Orvnl
Faubus of Arkansas nnd Mississippi's
Ben. .Inme* Eastland, to leave the
party if they don't want to go along
on the racial problem.
Appearing on the ABC-TV "College
News Conference," Butler made the
most blunt declaration to the Dixie-
orats since President Ilnrry S. Tru-
man lambasted them In the 104H
ntmpairn. In that campaign, certain
iio.ithern factious bolted the Demo-
cnitic party and formed a Dixiecrat
third pariy with South Carolina'*
Htroui Thurmond as its head.
Howgvcr, Truman wasted no tear*
on them and went on to win the
presidency, despite their opposition.
The Democrats later forgave and
took them buck into the fold.
Last week the Dixiecrats were in-
censed by the party chairman's state-
ment that they should find political
asylum either in the Republican party
or a Third party If they refused to
Accept the Supreme court decisions
or the Democratic platform on civil
rights, which Butler promised would
be "most poaltive and forthright" on
the civil rights issue. In a question
and answer period following a debate
with Republican national chairman,
Meade Alcorn. Butler declared:
MI would auy anyone who itt un-
willing to accept the platform of the
Democratic party in 1000, and any-
one who ia got UK to stand up iu Amer-
ica today and say we are going to re-
eist the decision* of the Supreme
court, and we shall hot rectfiiw
the principle* of law and order upon
which thin nation exists, then 1 cer-
tainly would hope they would take
leave of the Democratic party. . . ."
Asked if he meant by hla "take
leave" invitation Faubus ami East-
land, Butler replied, ye*, it "certain-
ly does mean" them.
IMxiecrats React Quickly
Ilia atatement brought the expected
hue and cry from the aegrcgationiat
wing of the party. Some of them
even called for Butler'* resignation,
although the more conservative Dixie
lawmaker*, like Gov. Clement of Ten-
nessee, Gov. "Happy" Chandler of
Kentucky, Gov. I'rice Daniel of Texan,
and Sen. George A. S mat her* of Flori-
da either refrained from commenting
or tempered their remark*.
Smathera, chairman of the campaign
committee to elect Democratic sena-
tor*, sold that Butler should be work-

Arkansas Negro
| Colleges Can't Aid
Idle High Pupils
Colleges Nip Rumors
Aid for Displaced
Students Planned
Bv the Associated Negro Preaa
MTTLH ROCK, Ark—At bust
two Negro colleges, in Arkansas, last
week, squelched the rumor that they
would be nlile to rild the displaced
Negro high school students in the area.
A spokesman for Arkansas Baptist
college an id he knew nothing of
board meeting reportedly scheduled
earlier in the week to discuss es.ab-
Ushing ii hi"h school branch for dis-
placed Negro student*. He further
stated thnt if his institution decided
on the high school umler.aking, it
would be only after the federal courts
act further on the issue of white
private schools.
Dean B. F. Lever of Shorter college
here announced thnt Shorter "couldn't
establish ii high school branch now
because of a $700,000 building pro-
gram under wny."
Wait for Ruling
Meanwhile Wiley Rraut..n, NAACP
chief lawyer, announced that the as-
sociation would attack the private
school plan in the courts, but admitted
Negroe* nre "mnking time" until the
circuit court of appeals rules on the
isaye.
The Kighth I\ 8. circuit court of
ippeala In St. Lotlia i* expected to
hand down u ruling shortly on the
NAACP's petition for an injunction
to keep public school board from
leasing the <1o*ed high sehools of
Little Bock to the private school
corporation.
No Money. No Schorls
On the other hand. Gov. Faubu* is
finding out thnt hi* ideal private
school plan isn't idenl after all. He
admitted last week that the private
school for whites (which opened last
Monday) can't continue unless the
public continues to wnd money to
support thi* venture, at a atendy rate.
He hinted he Is working on a plan
to finance private, segregated schools
with tax funds.
A Chicago executive thought lie had
the answer to the displnced-students
question when he suggested and of-
fered to /lid white southern students
who would cdme here to attend schools.
It wns interesting to note that not
a single family accepted his offer al-
though it was widely advertised in
newspapers throughout the South.

For the Associated Negro Preaa
BOSTON — Dave Brubeck, jaxz

down $17,000 for a South African

in part:

"Not only is there an ordinance pro-
hibiting the appearance on the stage
of a mixed group, but also he would

therefore the tt>ur would have to be
made without him."
"Ho," explained Dave, "we called
it off."
"Although we have had Negro musi-
cians in our group from time to time,
we have encountered remarkably little
discrimination."
He recalled that in North Carolina,
collego officials told him that Wright
could nut play ill U campus concert.

"CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION"
SPEAKER — Texas State Senator
Henry Gonsales will be the principal
s|>eaker, Sunday, afternoon, November
2, when the NAACP Youth council
launches its "Citizenship Education"
program with a city-wide mass meet
ing, at 8:30 o'clock, at Grant Me-
morial AME church.
Senator Gonzalez, a champion of
constitutional government and equal-

life, was one of the first persons to
favor desegregation of city facilities
as a city councilman. He made history
when, last year, he filibustered 20
hours and six minutes against hate
legislation that had been introduced
in the state legislature, and fought
valiantly against all proposed anti-
Negro legislation.
Sunday, he will analyse proposed
state constitutional amendments to be
voted on in the general election, and
will discuss other important o>vic mat-

PENSACOLA, Fla. — To preser*%_
the state's public schools, a few
Negroes must be admitted to white
schools. Florida must integrate ita
schools or abolish them, Afat. Atty.
Gen. Ralph Odum said Wednesday.
"States cannot continue to 4gnore
the supreme court's order that public
schools be integrated." he said. "TRe
governor, or any other state leader,
who tellH his people that he will be
able to preserve segregated pnMle
schools, regardless of the high court
order, is deluding himself anil hie
people," Odum said.
"The people must be told and every
effort made to make them understand
that ultimately their choice can only
be between integrated public school*
or no public schools," ho added

The results represented a small
victory for the moderates who did not
want integration, but who said they
would accept a degree of it as the.
alternative to no public schools.
