one hand that they have a right

hand for the intervention of fed

from the consequences of their
lawless acts. They are the same
people who loudly proclaim court
decisions to be the “law of the
land” which must be obeyed
without question by Southerners
yet who bitterly complain when
they are admonished and en
joined by those same courts.
They are the same people who

THE BACKGROUNDS of the
leaders of these disciples of dis
cord raise some serious ques
tions about the true purposes of
the movement. Files of the
House Committee on Un-Amer
ican Activities show that at
least nine of the 16 members of
the National Advisory Commit
tee of the Congress of Racial
Equality, the principal organi
zation responsible for these
demonstrations, have records of
affiliation or identification with
•Communist or Communist Front
organizations and causes.

One of them is A. J. Muste
who, according to FBI Director
J. Edgar Hoover, “has long
fronted for' Communists.” He
has been connected with no less
than 32 Communist Front groups
and activities. Others include
NAACP officials Allan Knight
Chalmers and A. Philip Ran
dolph, the latter having an Un-
i American Activities Committee
record requiring six single-
spaced, typewritten pages to
recount.
Additionally, there is James
Peck, once listed as Editor of
i the CORE publication, who
served a penitentiary sentence
as a World War IT draft dodger
and who was arrested in 1958
for trying to sail into the nu
clear testing area in the Pacific.

THE EVIDENCE is clear that
these people are not interested
in equal rights but rather in
super rights which are superior
to those enjoyed by all other
Americans. The arrogance of
their attitude is summed up in
the current issue of The New
Leader by Negro writer Louis E.
Lomax whd wrote: “. . . we
Negroes are convinced that we
are, on the whole, better Amer
icans than our white brothers.”
Whether dupes or acting by
design, those who espouse such
a philosophy are doing incalcu
lable harm to the causes of both
local self-government and har
monious race relations in this
country. Already people have
been physically hurt and an
other precedent for federal in
tervention in local affairs has
been established. If persisted in,
it could touch off a chain re
action which could topple the
temple of freedom on all Amer
icans.

COTTON'
i WASHINGTON, D. C.—In today’s society in every walk of life
man is dress-conscious. The man of today dresses to please and
it is here that the Indian textiles come in and play a major role.
J Indian textiles originated in times immemorial and India can
| rightly be called the home of Cotton Fabrics. It is in fact a
1 story that has been woven into the very texture and tapestry of
I her cultural history. Beginning centuries ago with primitive hand
weavings, today India possesses a great and modern textile industry
! w ith 479 textile factories, despite the partition of the country in
1947. In terms of productive equipment, the industry has an
installed capacity of 13.5 million spindles and nearly 220,000 looms.
The value of the annual output of the industry is in the neigh
borhood of $840 million or about 35% of the value of the overall
industrial production in the country. India’s foreign exchange
earnings from Cotton Textile Exports touched the Second Five-
Year Plan target of $157.5 million in 1960.
With the advent of thfe industrial revolution, India’s handmade
textiles had to yield place to machine-manufactured fabrics “rom
the West. But, the country was quick to keep abreast of the
strides of modern industry and it was thus that India’s first mill
saw the light of day in the year 1818 at Calcutta. During the
Second World War Indian Textile Industry reached its zenith
and India clothed a large portion of the world with her fabrics.:
It was in this short spell of time that she came in contact with j
various people and their needs, their tastes, their temperaments
and their standards of living. To cater to these multiple and I
manifold wants India has tried to modernize her industries. She
has increased her spindles and she offers her textile products at I
very competitive rates due to cotton being available at her door. ’
To help her own exports and to facilitate difficulties encountered
by the buyers, the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council has
during the last six years opened offices in Baghdad, Singapore,
Aden, Lagos, Rangoon and Mombasa and is considering the open- (
ing of another office shortly at Hamburg. _ 1
The Indian Textile Industry is marching with time and doing \
its best to clothe the people of the world in the best possible
manner. !
(Editor’s Note: Dr. Bowen tenches driver education at the University of
Georgia. This feature is part of a course being offered to Georgia
teachers this summer through scholarships provided by the Allstate
Insurance Foundation. Interested teachers should write to Dr. Bowen,
Stegeman Hall, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia.)
PART V
Driver Education had its
beginning in the nation’3
schools approximately thirty
years ago. The South moved
into the program slowly with
little being done until after
World War II. The first pro
grams in Georgia schools
were begun in the 1947-48
school year after 24 teachers
were given training in a five
day course under the leader
ship of the Department of
Public Safety.
Even though Georgia start
ed late, the leadership fur
nished by the Department of
Public Safety, under Col. Eu
gene Burke, and the Depart
ment of Education’s Driver
Training Coordinator, Mr. T.
A. Carmichael, the program
rapidly expanded. At the
1954 National Safety Council
Congress Georgia was one of
five states cited for progress
in Driver Education.
Since 1953 the Allstate
Foundation has made annual
grants to the University of
Georgia for driver education
scholarships. These grants,
totaling almost $30,000
through 1961, are for summer
session scholarships to Geor
gia teachers who come to the
University to become certi
fied Driver Education In
structors.
During the summer school
sessions in the last eight
years, the University has
trained 533 teachers, 226 of
them through Foundation
scholarships. In addition, each
year for the past 10 years
about 20 students training to
be teachers have taken the
course during the regular
school year. Many other
teachers have received their
Instructor’s certification at
other Georgia colleges.
Department of Education
records indicate that during
the past years thousands of
high school students have
benefited from the training
these teachers received. Un
fortunately, the percentage
each year taking the course
is extremely small. Almost
50,000 high school students
each year reach the eligible
teaching age, which is usual
ly in the 10th grade, however,
the percentage completing
driver education continues to
drop each year.
What has brought about
this slow-down ? There are-
many reasons—less emphasis
by the various State Depart
ments concerned, “panic” over
Sputnik, and lack of public
knowledge of the advantages
of the course—are just a few.
Many states require Driver
Education completion before
receiving a driver’s license.
Maryland is the latest to join
the ranks, having passed in
April a driver education bill
financed from funds received
by increasing the learner’s li
cense fee. Legislation on
driver education was intro
duced in Georgia in 1957 and
1958, but foundered on the
questions of financing and
operating.
Support for a driver edu
cation program in Georgia
has come from many people
and organizations. For exam
ple:
In December 1956, it was
reported in the Atlanta Jour
nal that a State Board of
Education Committee heard
school official H. S. Shearouse
say: “High school driver edu
cation is the best answer yet
to the traffic safety situa
tion.”
On January 14, 1957, Gov
ernor Ernest Vandiver, then
Lt. Governor, was reported in
the Atlanta Constitution as
advocating compulsory driver
education in all state high
schools. He said, “new drivers,
safely trained, are the state’s
best hope to stop highway
carnage.”
The Atlanta Journal, on
January 16, 1957, reported
former Governor Griffin’s
“State of the State” message.
Gov. Griffin included the fol
low recommended traffic
safety action: “Driver train
ing courses should be requir
ed in all our high schools and
made a pre-requisite to grad
uation.”
Col. William P. Trotter,
Dept, of Public Safety Direc
tor, has long been a support
er of driver education as an
integral part of a complete
program of traffic safety.
On April 13, 1961, the Fay
ette County News quoted
Col. Trotter as saying: “There
is a dire need for driver edu
cation in our high schools.
We feel this education of our
young people will be the ulti
mate means of eliminating
driver mistakes which cause
95 per cent of all traffic ac
cidents.”
Many state-wide organiza
tions have endorsed driver
education. Some of these are:
the Margaret Mitchell Safety
Council; the Georgia Con
gress of Parents and Teach
ers; the Georgia Federation
of Bus. and Prof. Women’s
Clubs; the Georgia Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs; the
Georgia Bar Association; tha
Georgia Junior Chambers of
Commerce; and others.
Are these groups and per
sons right in advocating it? (
If so, they need public sup
port to accomplish the task.
