Solid Stand of
Virginia Negroes
Stuns Whites
By VICTOR CALYEKTON
For the Associated Negro l'ress
RICHMOND, Vn.—-The solid stand
of most Virginia Negroes for racial
justice has changed the thinking of
white people in this state radically.
The few I'nele Toms that are left
have no influence whatsoever. The
white press is even warning that it's
foolish, for example, to ask Negroes
to accept voluntary segregation.
At last white segregationists are
couvinced that there is no use to ask
Negroes t* accept segregation even
with a promise of equal facilities in
all public services.
As a matter of fact, one editor
wrote last week that a plea to the NA-
ACP for segregation with superior fa-
cilities for Negro schools mmAi not be
accepted

Little Rock in Futile Straggle
As Virginia,Oklahoma,
Maryland Integrate
. By CHABLM J. 1IVINGST0N
CHICAGO—A tudy by the Aaaocktud Negro Press of the
Dixie school situation shows that integration is progressing
peacefully in areas where officials have decided to obey the law,
while in others, where the policy W dcfiance at all costs has
been adopted, the opposite it true.
In Oklahoma, for example, the situation is encouraging.
There integration, with support from local officials, has prog
ressed so smrtothly that Gov. Ray
mond Gary was able to annouuee re-
cently that the state saves one mil-
lion dollars n year us a result of the
Integrated ^(vbnuls. The morale of the
students is high, lie added.
Iu general, according to Atty. Gen.
C. Ferdinand Sybert. the people in
Maryland "have accepted the fact
thnt integration is here to stay," and
school officials have proceeded to in-
tegrate the schools, noticeably in Rsl*
timore.
Even ip Virginia, where a hard core
"massive resistance" was put up by
forces led by Sen. V.irry Byrd, inte-
gration is now forging ahead, without
the traditionally predicted "trouble.*

But iu Litth; Hock, where the state
government, led by Gov. Orval Fau-
bu*, has elected to defy the federal
courts, It's- a different story. In Lit-
tle Roch« focal point of the integra-
