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

Catholic Group Demands Justice For All Negroes
Improved conditions for Ne
groes in this country are being
won by those who demand justice
here and now. not by “gradua
lists,” declared a Roman Catholic
expert on race relations.
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.
