“It*s like bankruptcy fraud
or embezzlement-you know
who*s guilty, but the pro
blem is getting them to court
and tried,** he stated. He
said that it is now up to the
people to through on the
legal victories already won.
“The white man has either
to admit that he is practic

win every case - or tell
lies. And a system that is

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 1:
“The thrust for equality in
the Deep South on the part of
local groups is the most en
couraging development of
1961” reported CORE Na
tional Director James Far
mer.
“The Freedom Rides
brought new hope and cou
rage to thousands of Negroes
in Deep South communities.
What began as a daring ex
periment on the part o a
small interracial group has
stimulated mass action in
communities throughout the
South.”
“There is also a greater
feeling on the part of Ne
groes that success is sure
and that it is in our hands;'
that individuals can affect
their own destiny. There is
a greater realization on the
part of segregationists that
integration is inevitable.
This is all to the good.”
mere prescence of a Negro
in a white waiting room is
a breach of the peace,*’
Greenberg said.
The 36-year-old New Yor
ker commended southern ci
vil rights lawyers, including
Atlanta’s Donald L, Holl
owell.
