Rev. Wyatt Tee W 7 alker, Vir- ginia state director of CORF (Congress of Racial Equality) and Rev. R. G. Walker were sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $100. One student received a 10-day sentence and a $50 fine. The oth¬ er demonstrators were given $50 fines. The demonstrators were repre¬ sented in court by Clarence New- some of Richmond and Len W. Holt, CORE field secretary and a Norfolk attorney. All of those convicted had been arrested after using the “white” facilities of the Petersburg Pub- lic Library. The library allows Negroes to use the basement only. On March 1 the City Council had been petitioned to end segre¬ gation ‘in the library. Instead, they passed an ordinance increas- ing the penalties for “trespass” in a public place to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. On March 7, the group of 11 entered the library and violated the ordinance. E. J. McLaugh¬ lin, a VirgWW State student, par¬ aphrasing Thoreau, sa'd, “From the moment the City Council passed the anti-trespass ordinance, we were committed to a position of civil disobedience. Under a gov¬ ernment which imprisons men un¬ justly, the true place for a just man is prison. “We did not break the law in a spirit of malice or defiance. We broke the law because we were compelled by conviction and principle. “They (the people jailed) are perhaps the only free people in the city of Petersburg. They have a backbone through which you cannot pass your hand. They were not; born to he forced.” Rev. Walker on emerging from jail said: “This has been a search¬ ing experience for us. We knew it would he rough. We have no more stomach for segregation in jail than we do for segregation outside of jail. “It is my sincere hope that peo¬ ple who want their freedom will understAid that it does not come without buffering and sacrifice. “We remained in jail to demon¬ strate how insidious this ordinance is to the basic freedoms of Amer- iea.” Rev. R. G. Williams said, “We trust that they are aware that we are not led away from our ul¬ timate freedom by a jail threat and that going to jail is a mark of decency and dignity when it comes as a result of standing for a just and worthy cause.” National Library Week fContinued from rage one) Library;” Miss Celeste Hatcher.

Robert A. Thompson, associate director for the league, said that one reason for the 'housing pro¬ gress was the sizable portion of Atlanta’s Negroes who vote.

Sheriff Clark is especially proud a “f his mounted deputies. Just to c discourage the Negro students in y ase they were thinking of “start- : ng some trouble,” the mounted posse, headed by Jim Risher, a 'ocal cattleman, paraded through lowntown Salem riding four abreast on prancing steeds. Sociology at Atlanta University, reported that Atlanta Negroes had purchased 10,550 units and are repaying some $70 million in mort- gages. Thompson and Lewis note that in Birmingham, where Negroes earn much more than those in Atlanta and where they comprise 40 per cent of the population and only 3 per cent of the registered vote: s Negroes have secured hard¬ ly any housing improvement since World War II.
