The first public demand was made
by K. Washington Rhodes, publisher.
Philadelphia Tribune and member,
bonrd of cducution.'
Rhodes termed the plight of the
Rates a "dingrace." He said he will
personally reeommend to Roy Wil-
kin*, NAACP executive secretary,
(hat the NAACP offer assistance.
At the same time, Rhode* launched
a fund drive on behalf of the Tri-
bune. He suid he will cull upon
churches, polificnl and community
organizations to make "generous"
contributions, then backed up hi*
appeal with a $1(10 contribution. |

president, Arkansas NAACP confer-

Mrs. Rates, labelled by ( ov. Orvul
E. Faubus as (he person who "muster-
minded'' the school integration fight
in Little Rock, tedd newsmen she had
been existing on pep pill* for the
past mouth. She was admitted three
weeks ngo nfter suffering complete
exhaustion.
She wus stricken shortly nfter a
gruelling 18-hour-n-dny schedule which
carried her across 200,000 miles in .'12

Mother Still "Skeptical"
The mother wns still skeptical, but
in six weeks the family received a
reply asking for further information.
The last problem to solve waa to
secure the birth certificate or furnish
the information which would prove
that (he dead veteran's mother was
the woman who wns applying for the
iiiMiirance benefits.
The veterau was born at a time
when Virginia was not keeping vital
Ntati*tic records. The next move wa*
to Ifave an,affidnvit made und notar-
ised nnd witnessed by three person*
who knew the mother and aon and
their relntibnahip.
The affidavit was sent to (he Vet-

heard from it for several week*. Then
one Saturday in August, (lie parents
were plensnntly surprised when nl

mnil for each parent. They were sol
thankful for their son*a work that
they paid him $100.
The son wns a college graduate, and
to them this wns a concrete illustra-
tion of the value of an education.
Few Negro pnrents have trained
