At the age of 12 he lived through a harrowing Atlanta race riot, confirming him in his choice of a career. HE JOINED the NAACP in 1918 as assistant secretary at the age of 25. In 1931 he became executive secretary upon the retirement of James Weldon Johnson. He was a trieless and caustic opponent of the white supremacy and Us advocates.

The banning of segregation In the nation's public schools was matter close to White's heart. Although ill for the last years of his life, he was active in pressing the suit that finally re sulted in the United States Supreme Court's ruling last year. In 1937 he was awarded the Spingarn medal for "remarkable tact, skill and persuasiveness in lobbying for a Federal anti-lynching act." The medal was for the Spingarn family, which took a keen interest in the rights of Negro citizens. ARTHUR SPINGARN. now NAACP president, said In a statement: "We of the NAACP mourn with a sense of deepest loss the sudden passing of our beloved friend and leader Walter White, under whose guidance the association was developed from a small society into its present position as the nation's largest civil rights organization." White was a writer of some note.

HOLLINGSWOKTH Tree Pre Staff Writer Dearborn's six -man Corporation Counsel staff was purged Monday be cause it refused to rubber-stamp a legal opinion dictated by Mayor Orville L. Hubbard. Hubbard fired the six attor neys for refusing to write an opinion they held might be in contempt of a Circuit Court injunction.

The latest Hubbard dicta torial move was a result of his frustrated plan to raise his salary equal to that of a Wayne Circuit judgeship. Circuit Judges Arthur Webster and George B. Murphy enjoined Hubbard and his hand-picked administration from placing his two pet projects on the ballot in what they called Charter amendments. One of the proposals would have raised Hubbard's pay to $24,500 a year and extended the term to six years. The Mayor now makes $6,500.

THE SECOND vaguely worded proposed amendment asked: "Are you in favor of saving money by eliminating wartime restrictions on motorists by amending the Charter to provide therefor?" (That amendment, Dearborn sources said, would permit the settlement of traffic tickets including those issued for excessive speeding out of court.) When the Michigan Supreme Court upheld the injunctions, the Dearborn City Council decided last Thursday to place the issues on the April 4 ballot as "advisory matter." In two resolutions the Council directed City Clerk Myron Ste vens to place the two issues on the ballot in the same language which was enjoined by Judges Webster and Murphy.

Carmer climbed an 0-foot steel upright to cut off Jean's escape. But Jean was co-operative throughout. He had given a pint of blood in Windsor and was still rather weak, he said. "JUST MY legs shake," he said of his condition after his blood-giving at Hotel Dieu, Windsor, and the crossing. "Maybe someones wants the blood who cannot pay.

He acted after hearing a case involving the near-fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old boy in an East Side theater. Judge Kaufman ruled that henceforth both parents must attend hearings for a juvenile involved in an assault case. Psychiatric examinations by the Wayne County Clinic for Child Study for juveniles involved in violence also were ordered by the court. Judge Kaufman proposed that tougher laws regulating the carrying of knives be adopted by both the State Legislature and the Common Council. "Assault cases have risen to an alarming 15 or 20 a week," Kaufman declared.

"Many of them involve knives." VICTIM OF THE assault that incensed the judge was Thomas Bonk, of 7880 Sherwood. He was treated at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital for a knife wound in the chest. After he was dis charged, he suffered a relapse and was admitted to Ford Hospital. Two of three youths accused in the stabbing are held by police.

Judge Kaufman said the school for parents will meet in Palmer Hall of the Highland Park High School. Classes will begin at 7:30 p.m. "Attendance of parents of delinquent children will be compulsory," Kaufman said, "but any parent who wishes to attend will be welcome." JUDGE KAUFMAN said par ents would be shown films depicting family life where members work, play and pray together. "Then we'll break them into small groups for discussions on their personal problems in the control of their delinquent children," he said. "If a parent protests that his child is good, but led astray ty a neighbor's young-ter, we'll get that youngster's parents In, too," Kaufman said.
