N. Carolina
RALEIGH, N. C. (AND' —
John R. Larkins, consultant on
Negro work for the state-board of
welfare, said this week that the
percentage of Negroes in North
Carolina is on the down-grade.
He said that despite the numer¬
ical increase in the Negro popu¬
lation, the ratio in comparison to
the whites is diminishing.
According to the 1950 census
the number of Negroes in the
state was 1,047,353 out of the
state's total number of 4,061,929.
The decrease is supposedly due to
the migration of Negroes to other-
states in search of better eco¬
nomical gain; a higher death rate
and other factors.

of Boston’s first African Baptist
church, was born Sept. 3,

. Joseph H.
Jackson, president of the National
Baptist Convention of America,
Inc., growing out of the recent
annual convention at Louisville,
was filed here in Cook County
Court this week by lawyers for
popular Rev. Edward E. Wain-
weight, pastor of South Chicago's
influential Pilgrim Baptist Church.
Rev. Wainwright alleges that
Dr. Jackson “conspired” to prevent
his (Wainwright’s) name from
being placed in nomination for the
convention presidency, while at the
same time, “unlawfully” permit¬
ting himself to be elected to a
fifth term as head of the 4 million
member body.
Dr. Jackson, “ineligible” to suc¬
ceed himself after having served
four consecutive terms as presi¬
dent, Rev. Wainwright alleges, “so
rigged the proceedings of the
election that no other name be*
sides his own wa? allowed to be
placed in nomination and “no
voting was permitted by the duly
elected convention messengers.”
Because of this, Rev, Wain¬
wright contends, he lost prestige
and goodwill in the eyes of not
only his own congregation but the
community as well. Being thus
“publicly humiliated,” Rev. Wain-
\wright further charges he “suf

I U M S REFUSES TO PLEDGE
NEGRO STUDENTS PROTECTION
LITTLE RCCK, Ark., Oct. 2—
Today conditions became wor¬
sened for the nine Negro stu-
white dents who Central began high attending scnool here all-j I
seven days ago under the pro¬
tection of a battalion of U. S.
paratroopers who were rushed
into Little Rock Monday night
of last week to see that the
ruling of the U. a. District Court
to integrate the schools was
carried out.
Prior to this the Negro stu¬
dents were barred from enter¬
ing the school by Arkansas
National guardsmen who were
placed there by Gov. Orval E.
Faubus for this specific pur¬
pose.
In order to back up the
court’s order. President Eisen¬
hower did not only send in the
paratroops but he federalized
the Arkansas National Guard,
placing them under the super¬
vision of a regular officer
The paratroops displaced the
state guard in and around the
school and the second day af¬
ter they took over they met the
nine Negro students at the home
of a prominent NAACP worker,
placed them in an army station
wagon and drove them to Cen¬
tal high scnooi and stood on
guard outside the class rooms
attended by the Negroes.
This state of affairs contin¬
ued until yesterday when, in
order to ease the tension in the
community, the paratroopers’
