Page 5 DL Sun .Thursday, November 9, 1961 MACON COUNTERS INTERGRATED Macon, Ga. lunch counters and snack bars were peacefully in tegrated after nearly four months of negotiations between negro leaders and local businessmen. Negroes moved into the lunch counters at a number of down town variety and drug stores at the modern Westgate shopping center. There were no incidents. Discussions which led to the integration began in nearly June after attempts by Negroes to be served at previously all-white lunch counters had failed. In mid-June the city council agreed to desegregate the public golf course and since then Ne groes have used these facilities and the public libraries without incident. Among the stores which par ticipated in the integration agree ment were Woolworths, Grants’. Newberrys and H. L. Green and the local Dannenberg department store. At Newberry’s variety store in Westgate, employes at the lunch counter were told they did not have to serve the Negroes but that the- manager and assistant manager would. W Two white men who were sitting at the counter when the Negroes sat -down got up, 1 leaving their food uneaten, paid their bill and said the£ would not eat under thosh circumstances. The Negroes finished their meals in about 25 minutes and then) fi ? into * : V,Q*aßise groups, t|h#i>ed m the storefe for awhile before leaving.

Father Dunne said, “The theorists of gradualism have ac tually never improved anything, because in this hour of human relations things do not improve automically.” He said that unless Americans move speedily to realize the ideal that all men are created equal, they will be “swallowed up in history.” “If tomorrow decently clothed and decently behaved Nejgroes are served in restaurants all over the land with the same impartiali ty shown decently clothed and decently behaved whites,” said Father Dunne “It will be because yesterday brave, disciplined, and well behaved young Negroes sat at lunch counters and quietly de manded to be served there and then. “WOULD STILL BE WAITING” “If they had listened to the grad ualists telling them to wait 10 years, they would still be waiting in 50 years.” He warned that the newly in dependent, nations of Africa and Asia and the awakening peoples of Latin America may base their decision on whether to join the communist camp or the free world on this country’s success or fail ure to eliminate racial discrimina tion within its borders. “Either virtue here or we are all defeated.” Father Dunne said. “Either justice pre vails or the whole world is lost.” The fact that there have been vast improvements in the Negro’s, situation in the past 10 years does not validate the thesis of the grad ualist, he said. Time alone changes hotting, he added. Father Dunne said that in his home town of Los Angeles there has been a lessening of dis crimination and militant feelings in a decade. WHITES STILL MOVE OUT. Whites still move out as Negroes move into a neighborhood, he said. But “there is no longer a mad rush to get out,” there are fewer symptoms of panic and hysteria. “While, as you in Chicago know, property owners still make or ganized efforts to keep Negroes out, these efforts over the coun try as a whole are fewer, feebler and fordoomed.” he said. There are those who like to point out that the Negro is better off in America than he would be under the Soviet system he said. His reply to them was that Americans should measure their interracial conduct not against what the Russians do best against American ideals.
