WHAT USELESSNESS
A ifark day for democracy was signal¬
ized in Georgia May 28, when provision
was made to implement the purpose of
the Georgia Education Commission, head¬
ed by the governor, set up to maintain
separation of the races in the state's pub¬
lic. schools, “to promote the Georgia way
of life,” a way of life in conflict with
and contrary to the Constitution, the
spirit and principles of democracy and the
teachings of Christianity. Simply staled,
the Georgia way of life is the denial and
suppression of the civil and human rights
of Negro Americans whose chief sins are
their color and their aspirations to enjoy
equally the rights and privileges guaran¬
teed them under the law of the land, which
they fought to secure in every battle this
country has waged for the preservation
of human liberty.
The expenditure of $376,000 of the pub¬
lic’s money to achieve an unholy end is
useless and wasteful. In the first place,
Georgia’s way of life is so well known as
nut to need advertising. Everybody of
any consequence anywhere, who cares
about it, knows it already. Such a prodig¬
ious program of advertising indicates that
the Georgia Education Commission has
little faith in the spate of legislative en¬
actments (already an expensive item) to
maintain the separation of the races in
the public schools. Moreover, up to date,
the state has ignored with no unusual
cost the Supreme Court’s decision outlaw¬
ing segregation in public schools. Spokes¬
men from the state have repeated again
and again that Georgia never will com¬
ply with the decision; that it will defy
and prevent at whatever cost any attempt
at implementing the Court’s decision. Why
go to the trouble and expense of adver¬
tising Georgia’s viewpoint. Furthermore,
the Georgia Education Commission and
“The Committee for The South’’ have
more and deeper aims than meets the eye,
than to maintain separation ol' the races.
Their aim is to prevent equality of rights
everywhere, as is plainly indicated in the
South’s opposition to civil rights legisla¬
tion and what is taking place in the state
ol Florida right now. Their aim in short

The above (adets were outstanding in the c'ass which graduated yesterday (Wednesday* at
St. Emma Military Academy, Rock Castle, Va., America's only military academy for colored youth.
The commencement address was delivered by the Hon. James Carmichael Evans, civilian as¬
sistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Army, Department of Defense.
The story cf St. Emma Mill-
tary Academy started sixty two
years ago, when General and
Mrs. Edward Morrell of Phila-
delphia purchased • Bclmead”,
tlie magnificient estate of the
late Confederate General Cocke,
The original course of studies in
1395 comprised academic sub-
jeets and trades only, agrieul-
ture being identified as a trade
course. Military training was
added to the curriculum soon
thereafter.
Mrs. Louise Drexel Morrell,
the co-foundress, was a sister
of the late Reverend Mother
Catherine Drexel, the foundress
of a Catholic teaching order
dedicated to work among the
Negroes and Indians of the
United States. Mother Gather-
ine Drexel purchased the ad-
joining estate in Powhatan
County, Virginia, and there es-
tablished the St, Francis deSales
High School for Negro girls.
For her work among the Ne-
p.ioes of this country Mother
Catherine Drexel became one
of the most honored and rev-
wed women of the world.
St. Emma Military Academy’s
Cadets are carefully screened
and selected from applications
thaf come from Negro boys in
every part of the United States,
The educational program is so
planned that each student re-
ccives an accredited academic
course in addition to which he
must choose a trade or agri-
cultural training. St, Emma is
fully accredited by the Board
of Education, Commonwealth
of Virginia.

is United States Army planned
and supervised, has been con-
sistently rated among the best

is to establish and perpetuate the myth
of inferiority of Negroes. If this can be
established, then the fight for civil rights
is in vain and illogical. But to date law,
science, democracy and Christianity leave
no leg for the South’s position to stand
on. It avails nothing to suggest that
$376,000 could be spent for more neces¬
sary and constructive purposes. However,
it will be nice pickings for advertisers or
for some little newspaper already doing
a pretty good job of embittering and mis¬
informing the minds of Georgians.
To be consistent the advertisers of
Georgia’s viewpoint will have to mention,
should mention, that Georgia has three
state supported Negro colleges, not one
of which “offers work that is even sub¬
stantially equal to that offered in the
corresponding s t a te institutions for
whites.” They will have to say that Geor¬
gia has never educated in one of its state
supported colleges or university a Negro
doctor, druggist, dentist, civil or mechan¬
ical engineer, or lawyer. A summary of
what the “dearth of educational oppor¬
tunities for Negroes meant in the South,
in 11)45” is: It meant "fewer Negro doc¬
tors . . . one for every 5,300 Negroes, one
for every 851) whites . . . fewer Negro
dentists . . . one for every 14,000 Negroes,
one for every 2,790 whites . . . fewer
Negro lawyers . . . one for every 30,000
Negroes, one for every 711 whites.” They
should mention that Isaiah Nixon was
murdered in 1948 “because he defied or¬
ders of white men to stay away from the
polls and D. V. Carter, a Georgia leader
of the NAACP, was assaulted for encour¬
aging Negroes to register and to vote.”
There are some forty odd counties in
Georgia where Negroes outnumber white
people but where few Negroes are en¬
couraged to try to register and voter.
We need have no concern lest the ad¬
vertisers will omit to play up in large
print some of the things Negroes have
accomplished in Georgia and we may general be
sure they will mention that in
Negroes have made more progress in 90
years than any other race ever made in
comparable circumstances. And will pipe

Between The Lines
DEAN GORDON It. HANCOCK
For Associated Negro Press
PREJUDICE AND PRESTIGE
Our great nation is learning,
much to its chagrin, that acquit-
ting of a white man in the slaying
of a Chinaman is not the same
as acquitting a white man in the
slaying of a defenseless Negro,
The tragic Emmett Till episodes
are quite routine in some sections
of this country, where it is the
exception rather than the rule
when a white man is convicted
of slaying a Negro.
In this country the Negro is
forced to hide his resentment
when injustice is done to Negroes;
iiut in China resentment shows in
dangerous and destructive riots,
The recent riots in Taipei, For-
mosa, are significant as they M-
reeted attention to the contempt
and hatred the Formosans feel for
the country that nas put bread
■into their hungry mouths.
When riots have as many as
30,000 participants things are pret-
ty ominous for the prestige of
our country in Formosa, the last
toe-hold Chiang Kai-shek has in
China. The court decision is hut j
a part of the picture. There must
have been smoldering feelings of
resentment toward Americans even
before the court episode.
The great flare up was hut a
elimiix of a growing feeling of
resentment that has been devel-
oping over perhaps a long period
of time. After all the Formosa
riots may have been a blessing
in disguise, letting us know just
where we stand in the estimation
of Formosans, in spite of our ex-
tended grants of foreign aid to
that unhappy people.
If the riots did no more than
demonstrate to us the futility of
trying to buy good will, they serv-
ed a useful purpose. It must be j
borne in mind, it is not the fi- J
nancial assistance that is doing
the damage; but it is the Ameri-
can way of life in China. j
The average white American j
carries with him to the uttermost
parts of the earth his race preju¬
dice and he has carried it to For¬
mosa. But the Formosans are not
taking the prejudiced procedures
lying down. They are striking back
in no uncertain way and they may j
he further expected to strike hack,
In this column some weeks ago 1
named a long list of countries i
which have been beneficiaries of i
„ur foreign aid program. Only a
few evenings ago President Eisen -1
hower took his foreign aid policy !
to the air, seeking to justify our ’
present program.
And to be fair, he was convine- j
ing; and many of the listening
millions were convinced of the wis -1
dom and expediency of the cur-1
rent foreign aid politics, for in no !
other way can we wage a cold |
war so as’ to prevent it from be- 1
coming a hot war, than by help- 1
ing the destitute peoples who are
willing to embrace communism or ;
any other kind of "ism" that prom-1
ises relief from their present woes, I
chiefly economic. !
It is not, therefore, the inherent I
weakness of the foreign aid policy j
that counts so heavily against us: 1
Hut it is rather the American race !
prejudice that jeopardizes our pro-
gram. So when we appraise our
foreign aid program we must do j
so in the light of the race preju-
dice that accompanies it.
In other words prejudice like >
a mighty stone hangs heavily
about the nation’s neck as it would
sail the seas of peace and inter-
national prestige. It is unbeiiev-
aide that a nation so generous to
the weaker peoples of the earth
would lose so heavily in national
prestige.
We know of no other parallel
where a nation has done so much
and is respected so little. The
mattertis becoming serious and the
Formosan riots call attention to
it as nothing else could!
So while we are about our mis¬
sion of helping the less fortunate
peoples of the world, we had bet-
ter do something about the race
prejudice that is jeopardizing and
nullifying our supremest efforts to
play the Good Samaritan in a
tough world.
Regardless of what we profess
to the world, what we are doing
daily is being published through-
out the world and our proclama-
tion of civil rights for other peo-
pies, while waging a terrible fight
' n f ongress to keep Negro Amer-
icans bereft of their civil rights,
tells its own story to the world
and to the Formosans. -
The Formosans are proposing to i
do something about it—throw the ;
Americans out of Taipei. Just how !
widespread is the Formosa feel-
ing is an important question and i
one that demands an immediate I
answer. National prestige and race
prejudice do not go together.

Swear In White Ambassadors
To and Ghana
By ALICE A. DIN MOAN
WASHINGTON (ANP)—Secre¬
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and three undersecretaries wit¬
nessed the swearing-in ceremonies
of two white ambassadors to Afri¬
can Republics at the Department
of State Tuesday.
The two new diplomats who took
oath of office were Don Bliss, am¬
bassador to Ethiopia, and Wilson
Clark Flake, ambassador to Ghana.
The oath was administered to both
simultaneously by Victor Purse.
Deputy Director of the Division of
Protocal.
On hand to witness the cere¬
monies were Ambassador Deressa
of Ethiopia and Charge d'Affairs
Anthony of the new Ghanan Em¬
bassy.
“Ethiopia, Wonderful Country”
Mrs. Bliss, w r ife of the new
American Ambassador to Ethipia,
said she was looking forward to
the new assignment with a great
ileal of pleasure. “Ethiopia is a
wonderful country,” she added. “It
also has a perfect climate. What
more could you want”
Mrs. Flake, wife of the Ambas¬
sador to Ghana, who has been
spoken of with a great deal of
disfavor in the Negro press, did
not attend the ceremonies. Her
husband said that both he and his
wife are looking forward to the

the hugest single expenditure i
in the proposed bond issue is that |
for street paving and re-surfac-
ing, at a cost of $1,200,000. This
will cover the cost of paving eight
main traffic arteries: West Broad
St. from Voctory Drive to Bay St.;
Ogecchec Road from Victory Drive
to Anderson St.; Victory Drive
from Ogcechcc Rd. to West Broad
St.; Paulsen St. to DeRennc Avc.;

short street paving for which pe¬
titions have been previously filed
on a sharc-thc-cost basis.
The second largest outlay is $L-
000,000 for storm and sanitary
sewers, without which the mayor
says Savannah cannot expand.
“A city is only as big as its
sewerage and water system,” he
declared, “and much of the city’s
sewerage system is as old as the
city itself.”
The mayor added that these im¬
provements will relieve the flood¬
ing that occurs after heavy rain¬
fall, and also relieve and expand
our overworked sanitary sewers.
The areas affected will be West
Savannah, Woodviile, Pine Gar¬
dens and the entire southeastern
section from Victory Drive to 55th
Street.
A $200,000 expenditure for wa¬
ter system improvements will
equalize the w a t e r pressure
throughout the city. Residents who
live far from one of our many
deep-drilled artesian wells find
that the water pressure is too j
low, and thus creates a fire hazard.
$50,000 each is earmarked for
a new fire station in the south¬
eastern section of the city and a
new 100 -ft. aerial ladder and truck.
“The situation is so serious,” the
mayor explained, “that the South-'
eastern Underwriters Association
has warned us that, unless the
situation is corrected immediately,
Savannah will lose its current low
fire insurance rates.”
Next in line is an outlay of some
300.000 for a neiv municipal high
school football stadium which will
be used for football, track and |
other special events by all high
schools. Planned to seat more than
15.000, the proposed stadium will
eliminate the necessity of convert-
ing Grayson Stadium twice a year ■
from a baseball diamond to a foot- i
ball field and then back to a base-
ball diamond, at a cost to the city
