powerful state sovereignty

two years ago to preserve seg

After two years’ operation, the
commission has spent about $50,-
000 of the $250,000 appropriated
by the legislature to carry out
its Jim Crow program, despite
the group’s vast investigative
authority.
Though the warrants for the
expenditures do not identify

of them are known. They are

ATLANTA.—A regional sec

Colored People warned today
that the racial climate in the
South looks like “the calnf be
fore the storm.”

situation in which "every

knows what they’re afraid of.”

In an interview published in
zine, Mrs. Hurley blamed much
of the South’s fears on the White
Citizen’s Councils which, she
said, have created such confus
ion over the integration issue
“that I doubt if there are a
handful of people down here,
white or Negro, who can tell
you what the Supreme Court
actually said.” f
Newspapers have also clouded
the issue, she declared, by em
phasizing disturbances and giv
ing little or no space to the
communitier that have inte
grated their schools successfully.
Mrs. Hurley, whose NAACP
ectivitiec ere described in the
Look artido. charged that re
strictive legislation onactod by
some state legislatures "is
aimed specifically. end In a
<hacriminatory manner, at the
NAACP alone”
“It’s bed enough to bar us
from organising and holding
meetings,” she said, “but |he

of these laws. This deprives us

Jury Convicts
Kasper and Cos.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.— (Special)—ln a siffiprise verdict
Tuesday which left the small TennesscjT.courtroom
heavily crowded with spectators stunned, firw a verdict
given which some persons hail as the turning point in
the school integregation issue. a •
Segregation leader John Kasper and ht£ »** co-de
fendants were found guilty in the crimiiifri contempt
trial. Each faces up to six months in jail apd fines up
to SI,OOO or both. !,V.’ .
Four of the original fifteen
defendants were acquited on
lack of evidence. Kaspers attor
neys appeared dazed as the
foreman of the jury read the
verdict. Members of the defend
ents families utter gasps as each
nartie was read off and ihe
guilty given.
The southern laweyts at first
refused to iheke e statement
they were so astonished. They
had made an impassioned plea
for tha jurors to preserve the
southern way of Ufa and decide
not guilty."
Counsel Robert L. Dobbs, of
Memphis, who was chief counsel
refused to concede that the de
cision delivered a heavy blow
to the segregation forces who
are fighting the school integre
gation issue. He said, “the law
suit isn’t over yet. We have filed
notion for anew trial, if that is
is denied, we will appeal tp
a higher court. Another defense
lawyer said, “Naturally, we are
disappointed, we still do not
believe that the Government
proved is case”.
Commenting on tha decision.
U. S. District Attorney. John
C. Crawford. Jr., who conduct
ed the case for the United
States said, “My staff end I
endeavored to try this case like
any other Government case. The
jury has spoken by its verdict.
I have no other comment."
Six others along with Kasper
were convicted in the case
brought by the Government ac
cusing them of tormenting
racial strife at Clinton last fall
when Negro students were ad
mitted for the first time into
the all-white high school. The
Government specifically charged
them with criminal contempt
of court. In that they knowingly

GOP Senators
Get Together .
On C-R Bill
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Ad
ministration spokesman told how
on Friday, they Had called a
conference of Republican Sen
ators in an effort to prevent
more of the Rights Bill from
being hacked away and thereby
leaving on the enforcement of
voting rights.
GOP Senators say they are
trying to save a part of the
controversial ..section ..of ..the
House bill which the Southern
ers claim woud give the Attor
ney General the right to use
Federal injunctions to enforce
racial integration in schools or
other places.
Os course the main test will
come on the jury trials but it’s
believed tha supporers are try
ing to keep this fight in the
background until it's decided
whether the Senate would deal
with all civil rights-or only
voting rights.
