Uelbo+e Dear Mr, Swann: Yours of May 7th has been received, and I note with interest what you say regarding the cotton curtailment law. I think that Mr. Bailey was excited when he was talking about a revolution. The legislation enacted, relative to the cotton crop, was done at the insistence of the cotton growers of the South. I had nothing to do with it more than to vote. The cotton organizations all claim that unless the Government controls the acreage, that cotton would drop below five cents for the next crop, but it looks harsh to limit the small cotton farmer, yet, it is better to raise one bale of cotton and get fifteen cents per pound, than to raise two bales and get five cents per pound. The extra land can be planted in some other crop and will only require one-half of the time for cultivation : one-half the amount of fertilizer. Of course, our farmers would like to have the benefit of the increa- sing price without curtailing their acreage, but as there can be no increase without curtailing it, it is thought that all planters would be benefitted, rather than injured, else the law would not have been enacted, With kind regards and best wishes, Sincerely y Re Le Doughton, Fim Roden x freralconmek RIJ2Y Bd. at frat. ma 7 ve a7 6 o 5 a * eet Pak Lt-crervvt< croctf : J Carc rea elt — q gine 94a 4 owed. ots it tn Z : i ere c { Ben Liew c< ra ap aig ror fo es _ a nc Le 2 « G Fra ot ed rs 2 - Lowth nvgle pF ceeke -*- & cet tery ec ore CE 7 : seen : 7 f f , . f - , 2 (- /; r a d a L ce J j es.

(Dial, $3.95). H. Rap Brown's bitterness about the chances for black-- white harmony in America is easy to understand. In his “po litical autobiography,” he skill- fully and fercefully details the dehumanizing experience of being black in the United States. Throughout a pickup narrative of his gradual development from a “blood” hanging out on street corners to an a assertive spokesman for re belling blacks, the former chalr- man of the Student Noo-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) weaves his peraistent message that black men must not in any way submit to white America’s technique of cutting them down by making them “negroes” (his lower case). He talks also of color preju- dice among blacks themselves : how lighter-skinned Negroes can assimilate better into white 90- and look down on their a Bela | Among ee a ~ 19 the by Susan Sontag. (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $5.95). U Thant once said that in war- time, the first casualty is truth. Susan Sontag’s long account of a trip to Hanoi last May, originally published in Esquire, indicates that wartime dis- tortions, simplifications and illu- sions are not restricted to those in office. Miss Sontag’s tightly reasoned essays have established her as and one of the sharpest critical tal- ents in American intellectual life, quick to spot the shallow and the false, but her account of life in North Vietnam is, quite simply, incredible. She pictures the North Viet- namese as hardworking, simple people heroically dedicated to the task at hand and totally without the usual human attri- butes of jealousy, ambition, envy, vindictiveness or even simple cantankerousness. Ap- parently the North Vietnamese never disagree, especially about the wisdom of sticking out the war. During her stay, Miss Sontag missed the rich complexity of Western intellectual life and yet concludes that its destruction would be necessary before the West can become as morally pure as she found North Viet- nam. — This is a curious conclusion. One hopes she will re-examine it. — Themas Powers —O— THE MEPHISTO WALTZ by Bred Musterd Stewart.

His book, “Before the Mayflower;” is an outgrowth of a series of articles he did while working for Ebony.

In 1773 the second book written in America by a woman appear- ed — “Poems on Various Sub- jects," by Phyllis Wheatley, a Negress. “Before the Mayflower” con- tinues with a series of incidents forgotten totally by many peo- ple, and a series of more me morable incidents are also in cluded, things that will not be forgotten ever. These incidents range from the granting of a charter to the Ku Klux Klan to the race riots in Detroit, East St. Louis, and up to the present in Watts and Harlem. The author also says that the first two soldiers to be decorat- ed for bravery in France during World War I were two Negroes. Then Bennett goes too far. He relates that on July 4, fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, at Menticello, surrounded by his rare books and old slaves.

If \J he could not have kept his | | Slaves, the author implies. All right. To this point I had | been willing to listen attentive- ly, although I had not entirely accepted all that was said. For example, I’m not at all sure | | that the Negro soldiers wounded and decorated in France for valor were the first American soldiers to be so honored. I am aware, however, that prior to and during the Revolution var- ious general denied the right of the Negro to be part of the , American army because they | made such poor soldiers Adjutant General Gates, in 1775, issued general orders ban- ning Negroes from duly, and in the same year General Wash- ington issued similar orders. Two encyclopedia articles do not, however, validate the prev- }OUs Assertion F One thing is certain, however. Thomas Jefferson did issue an order and set his slaves free. He did make it possible to at- | tend the church of one’s choice; he did perhaps more for the cause of American Democracy than any other single individ- | ual. One thing he did not do, as- | suredly, was to die in defeat. | Or if he did, the hand that de- feated him was the same one that created him so many fruit- ful years cartier, cDITORIAL o / Unpopular but crucial goal The Supreme Court said in 1954 that ra ucation was bound to be unequal. But to has-not ruled on how much racial balar the nations schools. And all of a sudden, in the gap a 1q } ied that uncertainty, the nation’s somewhat grudging to integration is now in open questior gress and the Nixon administratior hundreds of thousands of whites have fled t escape it; militant blacks no longer want it of Southerners again hope to evade it. Man both races, who provided the political and n school integration, now seem to be al to quote Stewart Alsop, a ‘tragic failure The question no longer chiefly concerns the school system. After 16 years the South is we reluctant desegregation—that is, if the _Nixor keeps its promise to continue the legalpressure What is really at issue is the wider commitment moral as legal—to better racially balanced schools every- De facto segregation, which supposedly results by a cident from segregated housing patterns, is the reality of tt North and the big cities—and it is not always accidental Many local authoriti@s perpetuate discriminat n the ing and busing patterns they use to assign pupils to sct in the locations they choose for new school building sites and in assigning teachers and financial resources No doubt about it, we can achieve a lot more than we have now by such devices, as rezoning, and by cating new schools on neighborhood edges to favor inte gration. But even if all this is done in good faith, there w still be hard pockets in the ghetto’s core where there w be anyone to integrate with. In such cases, the most portant task is to make Sure that largely black s not being shortchanged of funds and good teachers The flight of whites fram newly integrated schaais ta sub urbs, new neighborhoods or private schools is now being called ‘resegregation Many people, particularly politicians are fond of blaming resegregation on “busing,” but the agi- tation about busing really reflects the deeper white unwill ngness to accept schooling with a large number of black: Parents fear indiscipline, indifference and slow learr the classroom, worry about Johnny getting his bike gang wars, dope peddlers and who-knows-what-else The concern about academic inferiority and order in integrated big-city schools doubtless has a ra component to it, but considerable reality as well. It is the root of resegregation, and no certain or easy way to overcome it exists. If there’s one thing Americans are unlikely to sacrifice for very long, it’s the educational interests of their so if integration is going to de accepted, it wi Nave to be on the basis that integrated education can be qood —and perhaps better—education lt may be possible to defuse the issue a little by losing it in the larger problems of public education Many parents and teachers are discontented with the academic level of the pub a C ' v ( ttt VWUL + dant schools, and such troubles as narcotics and stuae discipline are no longer confined to the ghetto School reform—experimental teaching methods, new structional materials, more economic and less stultifying ad ministration—is likely to bring changes that entail schoo district consolidation, metropolitan-wide regional planning and programs, and new school amalgams like educat onal parks that may blur some lines between city and suburb. In the pro cess of: achieving these changes, considerable integratior may ‘take place in a less emotionally charged atmosphere But no-one pretends the process will be painless, automat or popular. Nor will legal solutions—except in flagrantly ger rymandered school districts—be as easily imposed as in the South. where patterns of exclusion have been historically more explicit Just at this point a great many whites and blacks seem to be questioning the very notion of further integration. But de spite all the disruption associated with it, despite the super ficially soothing temptation of abandoning it, the case in in tegration’s favor is a compellingly strong one onsider, for instance, White House Counselor Pat Moy- pihan's widely quoted memorandum to the President on the current state of mind of the U.S. Negro. Moy- nihag grimly reports that ‘it would be difficult to overestimate the aoa to which young, well-educated blacks detest white America’ and is appalled by the extent to which racial hatred and revenge against whites are becoming an acceptable ex cuse’’ among Negroes for violence and disruption in the schools. It seems plain wrong that this racial disorder is being widely invoked as an argument against continuing with sch integration—wrong, that is, to attribute racial hatreds to in tegration rather than to the long history of discrimination, or to the blacks’ justified disappointment in the hopes raised by the 1954 decision. And equally wrong to suggest that per petuating racially discriminatory institutions will contribute te any stable solution According to the new separatist scenario, fast gaining re- spectability among many whites and a vocal minority of blacks Negro children would get an equally good—perhaps better —education if resources misplaced in divisive integration ef forts were invested instead in improving black schools in the ghettos. This assumes that black people who have lost hope in the white majority's willingness to desegregate would re- tain any faith in its willingness to deal fairly with all-black schools Some new theorists of educational seqregatior aim tnat it would be just a ‘‘preliminary phase,” for the Negro to de velop the group ‘pride’ and level of skills necessary for full equality. Somehow, that sounds like a gussied-up version of the old segregationist rationale for Jim Crow—and tragically self-deluding. The 1954 Brown decision was right in finding that racial segregation breeds a crippling anguish, despair and resentment in its victims. Far from offering an alternative to integration, says Negro Psychologist-Educator Kenneth Clark, the new belief in segregationism among some young blacks is itself '’'a more severe symptom of psychological dam- age than those described in Brown We have arrived at a moment when what still must b 4 UE is lost some of the spur of optimism. For this the Nixon administration, with its evasions and retreat: a { its bowing to the winds of current feeling, bears its share of responsibility. America is not going to work its way out of ts toughest social problem by a policy of neglect—no matter how ‘benign.’ School in- tegration and a rightful place in society for blacks must remain a national goal; the way there may be intricate and tempestuous but the movement toward it must be rea to located a mile off U.

Floyd McKissick, Negro and former head of the Congress Equality, outlined plans for the new town at a press conference here with outgoing Secretary of _ Agriculture Orville Freeman, who pe departmental aid for planning the community.

Option price on the records is listed at $390,000. The new town would theoretically be open to all, but MeKissick asserted that the main idea would be to ‘create new jobs, new careers for blaek people, the develop- ment of talent heretofore never employed or afforded the opportunity.” The community, he said, would probably grow “by Stages of 5,000 persons each’ and reach full development in 10 years. It would include a full range of community services ana seek to attract both com. mercial and industria] develop- ment. The development of public facilities could be financed by government-guaranteed bontl issues, McKissick said. Local Officials Support McKissick’s project, which he estimates will involve a $25 million outlay, took Warren County officials by surprise. Amos Capps of Louisburg, chairman of the Warren Coun. ty commissioners, said he had not heard of the project “until I received a call from Congressman L. H. Fountain’s office late Monday afternoon inquiring about it.” “While I don’t want to make a comment until I know al] the details,” said Capps, “it did come as a shock to me to learn that a project of this Magnitude was being con- sidered without the knowledge ty Ming ’ a igrants have iskep to U.S. 1 > head for city slums.

By JIM SMITH Staff Writer WARRENTON — The an- nouncement Monday that a Negro-built, Negro-run new town to be called Soul City would be located in rural War- ren County was met with surprise here by city and county officials. Plans for the community, which eventually would have a population of about 18,000, were announced in Washington by Floyd McKissick, a Negro lawyer from Durham and former head of the Congress of Racial Equality. McKissick, who now heads McKissick Enterprises, Inc., in New York, said an option was taken on an 1,810-re tract of land near Warreon at a sale price of $500,000. Theaoseus T. Clayton, he Warrenton attorney who ok the option on the land, iid Tuesday that Soul City wild ‘definitely materialize,” jut that a time has not yet ben projected. + When questioned why couty officials had not been notied about his plans, Clayton sid, “IT didn’t want to create ny opposition. There was no oter reason. It was a_ businss transactiog.” He said that Soul City vill be open to all races, creas and colors. “It will be te 0 ounty Warren Coumiy oes and stimated 11,500 Neer 500 whites. rissick expects greatest economic boost to the county and the area in over a century.” More than 100 Negro college students have already asked to take up residence in Soul City, Clayton said Asked why Warren County was selected, Clayton said, “It’s an ideal location one of the best in the world, and the land was available. There’s room here for real creativity.” The new town will be built between Henderson and War renton off highway U.S. 1. It will be a mile and a half south of Manson in the western part of the 443 square-mile county 19,600. Some 65 per cent of the county is Negro. Frank W. Reams, executive director of the County Industrial Development Com- mission, said that he was not aware that a Soul ar was being planned. “I heard it on the radio, and later Monda when Congressman L. Fountain called informing me of the project and wanting in- formation about the coun- 7. * Reams said that should Soul City be properly developed, he felt the people would be more optimistic.

If Soul City does materialize, though, then the county tax structure would get a real boost.”’ The consensus among Negro and white alike here is a ‘‘wait and see’ attitude. Some believe Soul City to be a money-making venture, and that it will never materialize. District Judge Julius Banzet said it was an “ambitious undertaking.” ai~ + unity.

Records in the register of deeds’ office show that $4,000 was paid, and that the option expires Feb. 19 of this year. County Commission Chairman Amos L. Capps of Warrenton said the news hit him like a whirlwind. He began reading a booklet Tues- day on the “proposal for fun- ding development of a new town,” in preparation for a scheduled meeting Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. by commissioners, the development commission, and Clayton and his associ- ates, t a project ot mis earn tha being con which has a population of 1, to dS, ~~ ural ated gack ocial white come jm in alism. will sound ong as marily operate ck peo portrait In a preface, Senator Edward W. Brooke (D-Mass.) calls this _»» “a startling book. Startling because it portrays a broad sweep of Negro participation in historic events that is beyond anything that educational text- books or motion picture and television drama have led us to expect.” The author has organized the book as a travel guide, associa- tion significant historic events “ that involved Negroes with physical locations — monu- ments, parks, battlegrounds — that still exist today. In the process he provides a compre- hensive overview of black par- ticipation in the nation’s his- tory from the days of early ex- ploration, through all the major wars, pioneering adventures, and down to Viet Nam. The non-historian will find Drotning’s book the most pal- atable kind of reading and, as Brooke says, one “that can and should be read with pleas- ure and profit by Negro and white Americans alike."

He may cheer the returning troops, he may shout at the newsreel when our guns blast a swastika Irom 4a German sports stadium, he may weep at the sight of Old Glory on the hill at Iwo Jima, but he is a Nazi, just the same.
