This is as it should be. Birmingham must prove itself. It has much to live down. It has much to live for. Maybe something of that 'magic', which once characterized it, is still there.

It had better be. But if it wants again to be a "living" city, a city with a purpose and a future, there are some things it must forget and some things it must remember. It must forget about a return to the 'status quo' official racial discrimination has had its day. Changes in social patterns resulting from this may be difficult to bear, and may tear at one's being, something most understandable. But the Negro may no longer be denied full citizenship.

What adjustments Birmingham feels necessary to meet these changes must be sought within the law. It can do without the of false leaders. It should expect mutual trust and knowledgeable and intelligent communications between its citizens. There is need for patience, and prudence and love. BIRMINGHAM MAY FEEL that its image before the world is distorted; that its problem is not unique; that press coverage makes is a scapegoat.

But it is hard to forget the suspicion and fear and hate that have gripped our city. Whatever justification can be found in the past for legal discrimination, it pales into nothing when confronted by the reign of terror it has bred and which it has fed by 43 racial and religious bombings which still continue even now as the city tells the world it will take care of itself. The people of the metropolitan area must remember that they form a moral communal unit despite the fact that they are so unrealistically splintered into some 30 political civic units. So the 'good people' living in the complacency and security of 'over-the-mountain' may merely shake their heads and go about their neat suburban living, but they must remember that what happens in downtown Birmingham happens 'over there' too. And only the self-blinded do not see it.

AND AS OUR NEGRO CITIZENS now clamor for their full rights, they must not forget how they failed in the past by being content to be "the white man's problem." Courage, hard work and self reliance in the past would have helped. To struggle for a decent education and then to stay in the south to help, would have borne much good fruit. To strive for clean and decent family life and self respect would now be an asset to Birmingham facing up to its crisis. But it was all too easy to sit rocking on the porch, contending "what's the use" of trying to be somebody in this kind of a city. Maybe the remembrance of past lack of concern and courage and effort will now show itself in a display of patient understanding as their city seeks again to find itself.

LET BIRMINGHAM be done with "outside" leaders. Its people seeking some way out of the racial tensions and terror, that were crippling it, voted to a change of more moderate government. Let them now support that city government. Let our Negro leaders make it known to national Negro figures that they are able and willing to play their own role of local leadership in the life of their city. And we have had enough of "peace keeping" by outside troopers and troops.

Let those, who profess to speak for God and His Law, speak up for Him and His people. May we all awaken to the fact that this is a "time of conscience" for us all. For a better Birmingham we need a better people. Stir up, we beseech Thee, God, the hearts and wills of the people of our city that we may fearlessly contend against every evil; and so move us with a sense of Thy purpose for the life and welfare of our community that all unrighteousness be overmay come. Reveal to us, God, how we may work together for tha civic righteousness which alone can exalt our city.

Make us worthy of the I leadership entrusted to us as citizens of a great city. Arrests Made In Birmingham Surely every one with our system of justice at heart and the general welfare of the country in mind, welcomes the news that suspects are being held in the Sunday School church bombing a days ago, which resulted in the killing of four young girls in few the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. The governor himself attested the fact that out of some 47 bombings recorded in the state of Alabama, not a single solution has come in any one instance. Now that the machinery of justice is apparently turning, the state faces the challenge of apprehending whoever effected the plot to heap such an ugly blot on the face of this nation at a time such could be a grave setback in the program enunciated for patterns for the rest of the world. With clue after clue being carefully unfolded, and the timetable of justice demanding something be done in the line of salvaging what is left of the good usages of the nation, the rest of the disclosures should be simple arithmetic.

Let the governor of the state and the mayor of the city of Birmingham implement every facility within the grasp of the law to bring to justice those responsible for this wanton disservice tc the cause of our legal machinery and the principles upon which we move and have our being. Alabama, the task is yours, the challenge is the nation's and the opportunity one most enviable at this zero hour of peril in the life of this nation. 'Opportunities Industrialization' Program Launched In Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, Pa. An anonymous donor has contributed fifty thousand dollars to the new Opportunities Industrialization Center program announced a month ago by a group of Negroes in Phila. delphia, Pennsvivania.

The Opportunities program was launched with the purpose of providing a Center for the training and re-training of Negro workers and to provide a clearing house and research center for young Negro inventors. The main goal of the Opportunities program calls for the development of production teams of Negro technicians for the purpose of helping them into the estahlish- of Action Withheld On Ga. Request For Extradition OLYMPIA, Wash. (UPI) Gov. Albert D.

Resellini said Wednesday he would withhold action on a Georgia request for extradition of a Negro prison escapee until the constitutionality of nis murder conviction is decided by a tederal court. Attorneys for the escaped convict, Charlie Will Cauthen, plan to test the conviction in the U. S. District Court in eastern Washington, Rosellini said. The governor said Cauthen's con viction "rises serious questions per caining to the rignes of an individ.

ual citizen." He endorsed the attorneys' plans for test. Cauthen was convicted of killing a white service station attendant in Pike County, in 1959. He escaped from jail and fled to Warden small farming community in eastern Washington. The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Cauthen Aug. 15.

He had been working as a farm laborer. At an extradition hearing in Rosellini's office earlier this month, Spokane attorney Carl Maxey said Cauthen's (rial sastea less th one day. Maxey described the trial as "pitiful" and Petitions bearing more than 600 signatures have been delivered to the governor asking him not to send Cauthen to nis death in the Georgia electric chair. Heroes Emancipation A Weekly Feature By NAACP JAMES MADISON BELL Free born at Gallipolis, Ohio, in 1826, James Madison Bell grew up to become a fiery anti slavery lec. turer and poet.

He moved to Cincinnati, in plasterer. 1842 where Because he he learned was determined to secure an education, he studied at night after working at his trade from twelve to fourteen hours during the day. According to the historian Rich. ard Bardolph, during Bell's lifetime there were 32 leading Negro spokesmen. The principal service of six of this number lay in their literary contributions to the srtuggle while they were at the same time involved in other forms of protest.

Bardolph states that the poverty in pure literature in this generation is largely explained by the crusading preoccupations of potential literary talent that might well have flourished in more tranquil times. Noted among this group of leaders was James Madison Bell whose single minded allegiance to anti. slavery propaganda thwarted the development of real technical excellence. By 1842, at the time he moved to Cincinnati, Bell had be. come deeply interested in the antislavery cause.

There on the borderline between the North and South, he was in the midst of the exciting scenes of hairbreadth escapes and the drama of the pursuit of ugitives. He actively participated the Underground Railroad Movement which channeled the escaped slaves across Ohio to other parts of the North just one step ahead of their pusurers. He spent much his time on the anti slavery lecsure platform where he became not. ed for his speeches. Because Bell did not feel that he sufficient freedom as a man this country, he moved to Canda in 1854 and remained there until 1860.

He became a good friend John Brown and helped him ssemble men for the 1859 raid on Tarper's Ferry. In 1860, Bell left Canada California where he assumed an active role in attempting to improve the lot of the Negro in that state. However, he left California in 1865 and returned to Toledo, Ohio. where he resumed touring the state making speeches in behalf of the Negro race. At the same time he began, to read some of his own poetry the lecture platform.

Some of Bell's poems which evok. ed considerable interest are: Eman. cipation," "Lincoln," "The Dawn of "Valedictory on Leaving San Francisco, Song for the First of August," and "The Future of America in the Unity of Races." Bell died in 1902 at the age of 76. Discrepancies In (Continued from Page One) Following the incident and aces a technical charge of murder in a court hearing.

He said de if the negotiations now being conducted by of President Kennedy's troubleshooters turn "just he would recommend new demonstrations. Shuttlesworth made clear he was speaking of a matter of "days, rather than weeks or months," in his threat of new mass protests. TIRED OF RESTRAINT Shuttlesworth said before yeavIng Wednesday for a short, undisclosed trip "Negroes are sick of hearing of "outside agitators," and "keep hands off Birmingham," and they are tired of federal insistence on restraint."

BETWEEN THE LINES By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK For Associated Negro Press By GORDON B. HANCOCK for ANP Race Prejudice: Twentieth Century Scourge Whenever we fall ill and ways two courses he may follow, He may treat symptoms or he the symptoms. That is a poor doctor who is satisfied to merely treat symptoms. That is why diagnosis is such an important part of the practice of medicine.

Diagnosis seeks to get after the disease behind the symptoms. Today we are in great struggle and fight against st segregation, which is proving such a handicap the man of color throughout to. world and most particularly the Negroes here in these United States. The bombings and injustices and human meanness we see about us every day, are but symptoms and segregation itself is mere. ly a sympton of an underlying disease and that disease is race prejudice.

As long as race prejudice holds away in the world, we are going to trouble. Desegregation is not going the race question here in this country nor anywhere in the world, for what the world needs is integration and the greatest foe of integration is race prejudice. That is why the late H. G. Wells world-renowned historian and philosopher concluded that race prejudice is the worst single thing in the life of the world today.

It is the world's besetting sin and there can be no peace and brotherhood in the world while race prejudice holds away in the hearts and lives of mankind. The nation and the world were recently horrified at the dynamiting of a church in Birmingham with the consequent death of four young Negro girls in Sunday school. So horrible and stunning the crime we are told that Birmingham's mayor "cried like a baby" when he realized that a thing like that could happen in his Birmingham. The sensibilities of mankind through out the civilized world were shocked and blood-guiltiness haunts Alabama and our country and should haunt every heart that harbors race prejudice. Do when we are looking for bloody hands that helped to snuff out the lives of those innocent young girls in a Sunday-morning bombing, please let not merely look at bloodsmeared Birmingham, but at every man or woman whose heart is Americus 3 Denied (Continued from Page One) spot a year ago.

Clarence Mitchell advised dele-, gates to the legislative conference sponsored here last week by the United Packinghouse, Food and Allied Workers, AFL-CIO, to pay no attention to prophets of doom. "We can get this legislation through," Mitchell said, "if we gather our strength and go after the enemy." The fiery lobbyist warned against heeding the words of newspaper columnists who are "always ready to throw in the sponge." He said the moment opposition appears to be building up against a piece of proposed civil rights legislation, some of the country's leading writers begin to play a funeral dirge.

Mitchell started calling names and selected William S. White, whose column appears in a Washington evening paper, as one whose dire predictions, should be ignored. "Pay to White on civil rights," he told the delegates from every section of the country, "heed the advice of your own representatives and you can't go wrong." ERA SEEN James Farmer, national director of CORE, followed Mitchell to the lectern. He said the real fight would start, for Negroes when Congress enacts clivl rights laws. A "involuntary guest" in strong, a Louisiana jail, Farmer said the stage has been reached where "the forces of segregation have mobilized.

and organized. and are now rea sorting to physical violence." "When police brutalize Negroes," he said. "they feel it is a last ditch fight." He recited his harrowing exper. ience in a Plaquemine Parish (La.) RAY OF HOPE jail, complete with accounts of the mistreatment of Negro citizens by state troopers and of a "near lynching" at which he was to be the star attraction. Farmer said he had been spirited cut of a Plaquemine church in a ruse involving two hearses, one being the escape vehicle which he used in escaping over a backwoods dirt road.

and the other a decoy that proceeded down the main street blocked by state troopers. But in spite of this harassment, colored leaders, succeeded in starting a voter registration program among Plaquemine Negroes who make up more than half of the parish's population. Farmer left this warning: even after civil rights laws are passed, there will be marches and strations, because "we have a proenforcement of the law." Other participants in the four day conference of the Packinghouse Workers included: Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, Reps. James G.

O'Hara (D. Al Ullman and Carlton R. Sickles and comedian Dick Gregory. CAPITAL MISCELLANY George Brown, first colorefiter State Senator in Colorado for the Denver Post, will join the State Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs (Ambassador Carl Rowan's old post). Robert Kitchin, assistant to the director of personnel for the Agency for International Development, is top contender for a slot on State's International Organizations staff, the back up team for the United Nations.

(Continued from Page One) EMPLOYMENT in the 1963 commission report: VOTING The Commission reported that the voting provisions of the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts have done little to extend voting rights to Negroes in seven Southern States, despite a "determined attack on voter discrimination by the Justice Department." In the 100 counties the number of registered Negro voters increas. ed less than 3. 1-2 percent (from 5 percent to less, than 8 1-2 between and 1962. This frustration of the policy of the Civil Rights Acts can be traced to recalcitrant registrars, judicial de. lays, unfairly administered voter qualification tests, intimidation and inadequate staff and funds avail.

able to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. EDUCATION The Commission found that near. ly ten years after the 1954 Supreme Court school desegregation decisions only 8 percent of the Negro chiliren in the South actually attend chools with whites. and that Nero children are still segregated in hools in all parts of the Nation. For the school year 1962-63 Ne.

groes are attending formerly allvhite schools in less than 100 of the 3000 school districts in the Southern and Border States with both Negro and white school-age populations. With few exceptions, truly voluncary desegregation has been rare, Where desegregation has occurred the typical pattern has been "tokenism" and the action taken has ither followed a court order or las been precinitated by pending or threatened litigation THE NEGRO IN THE ARMED FORCES With the cooperation of the De. partment of Defense, the ion conducted the first intensive review of the status of Negroes in he Armed Forces since President Truman's 1943 desegregation order. The Commission found that the n-base life of the Negro servicenan and the variety and leveis of mployment open to him in the rmy and the Air Force are often nakedly superior to the kinds and uality of opportunity afforded Negroes in civilian life. The Marine Corps has increased its utilization Negro enlisted men, But the Navy, the Commission found, has hown "little or no improvement" its use of Negro personnel, and ags behind the civilian economy in he use of Negroes in clerical, tech.

nical and skilled occupations, smeared with race prejudice and prejudice and the measure of 60- gregation and its wide sweep our land and the world, is a measure of race prejudice. Race prejudice is the mother of all segregation and it was race prejudice that fashioned the circumstances behind the cruel and heartless dynamiting of a church on Sunday morning and doing to death four innocent young girls who died in the service of their Lord and Master. But the untimely death of these four young girls must not blind us to the fact that prejudiced whites throughout the land are doing deeds daily that are just as hideous and revolting. Let us not forget the brutality and lynching and murders of other years. And race prejudice is behind it all.

Sociologists tell us that race prejudice is a thing of the heart and cannot be reasoned a- way. It cannot be legislated away and if it is cured something must be done to change the human hearts, in fact they tell us that there is only one thing cure race prejudice and that can, human worth or character; and this is just another way of passing along the words of Jesus that men must become brothers; and hey cannot become unless something is done to human hearts. Men must be born again and only in this way can race prejudice be banished from its entrench. ed place in the heart of mankind. It may seem silly to talk about banishing race prejudice through the new birth that Jesus talked about.

But there is no other way and race prejudice cannot be banished from the heart of men except by impression that righteousness makes on human hearts. Human goodness is the only cure for human prejudice and there can be no human goodness without man's love for his fellowman. Race prejudice is the explanaton behind dynamite hurling and love which Jesus came to bring is the only cure for race prejudice. Let us not over-look the while pondering the effects. Segregation is the child of race prejudice, the scourge of the Twentieth Century world.

Returning love for hate will crucify race prejudic! It is Jesus or destruction. W. C. Peden Earns Promotion Unlike the 1961 Employment Report which attempted a broad and historical survey of the field. the 1963 report focuses on status of the Negro in the new Federallyassisted programs designed to provide vocational education, job retraining and new jobs generated through Government funds and activity.

The Commission found that -J out of 10 Negroes employed AS a result of the job generating programs were hired as laborers. As to job retraining programs, Negro participation has not been unfavorable, although on a segregated basis in some Southern States. In the nationwide technician training programs, however, only 3.2 percent of all trainees were Negroes (as compared to 20.5 percent in the Federal job-generating programs).
