munity church of New York, and na

Behavior
(Continued from Page 1.)
Oklahoma, Kentucky, North Carolina,
Virginia. Maryland, Delnware and
West Virginia.
"Negroes are serving on city coun
cils in Tennessee, l^ouisiana, North
Carolina and Maryland.
"Negroes are working for north-
ern corporations in integrated jobs in
Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia; and
Negroes are voting all over the South
in primaries.
"Negroes are attending integrated
public'schools in Delnware, Maryland,
District of Columbia, West Virginia,
Kentucky. Tennessee, Arkansas, Tex-
as, Oklahoma, Missouri and on all
army posts in the South.
"The South has not changed its
attitude, but iU behavior certainly is
different. This is not ignoring the vio-
lence that has occurred In Clinton,
Tenn.. Clay. Ky.. and Mansfield, Tex-
as. either," Dr. Nabrit said.
During the course of his speech, the
prominent law school dean deflated
four other southern srgumeuts which,
be said, are being beamed as propa-
ganda at the North through all chan-
nels of communication.
He called untrue the argument that
the South is making great efforts to
afford the Negro separate but equal
opportunities. Where school systems
are better, it is the result of law suits,
he declared.
"Every step forward has been fought
to the bitter end by the white South."
Such resistance, he said, provides no
justification for leaving the South
free to segregate the Negro, on the
premise that it has shown interest and
good faith in its widespread confer-
ring of public benefits upon the Ne-
gro.

Gynecologist Feted) Jamaican —
As New York U.
"Man of Year"
By the Associated Necro Presa
NEW YORK—A gynecologist at
Harlem hospital, Dr. Norman H.
Pritchard, was one of three men hon-
ored during the recent 12th annual
Alumni Saturday at New York univer-
sity. Dr. Pritchard graduated from
New York university In 1927.
Dr. Pritchard, Dr. Emanuel Stein
and Dr. David E. Green were named
"Men of the Year" for their profes-
sional achievements.
Dr. Pritchard Is director of surgery
and attending gynecologist at Mount
Morris Park hospital, visiting gyne-
cologist st Harlem hospitsl, and at-
tending gynecologist at Italian hospi-
tal. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr.

possible to hold tha Negro down, and
then, when in spite of these efforts, he
makes some progress, they stick out
their chests and say, look what we
did.'"
The third argument attacked by Dr.
Nabrit says that segregation is reas-
onable in the light of the ignorance,
poverty and.disease of Negroes who
constitute such a large proportion of
the South's population.
Dr. Nabrit said the South, having
denied the Negro equal educational
opportunity, "does not say it can set
up classes for retarded pupils, separate
children on the basis of I. Q. or other
tests or take other steps to improve
the bnekward Negro children.
"It merely says we have hurt the
Negro educationally, let us continue
to do this."
Northern Problems Being Resolved
Replying to the southern argument
that the presence of segregation and
racial tensions in the North and West
showa thnt the South is right in seg-
regating the Negro, Dr. Nabrit said
'All the difficulties in those north-
ern areas can be. and are being, re-
solved by law. political action, educa-
tion, interracial groups and a sense
of justice, order and common decency
The solution is not the southern one
of brutality, coercion, black-listing, or
death."
He told the Deltas that the burden
of American Negroes Is to see that
democracy succeeds.

It was evening In the little rural
village that stmids about 700 feet
above sea level. In the rum bars, peo-
ple were making merry, aome eating
bun and eheese, some drinking choice
sugarcane rum, some dancing to sound
boxes.
Then came a shocker, people's heads
were falling off, their feet and hands
severed in the swift onsisught of Hy-
att's machete. In 90 minutes he had
butchered eight of 22 persons attacked
and was on his way for more. But he
fled. And nobody could find him.
For a full three-day round-the-clock
drive through mountains, caverns, sea
beaches, cane and banana plantations,
Hyatt stayed out of police range.
Then the eight were laid to rest
while others were battling for their
lives in Pt. Maria hospital.
People were at a loss to know what
got Hyatt off, save that they heard
thai be had remarked that "The people
of this district need some fixing," be-
cause they had given the police infor-
mation where he could be found to be
served a court summons for some mi-
Jior offense.
It was not until the fifth day that
police thought nyatt might have com-
mitted auicide. But this was only s
theory which got no grip of founda-
tion. For across the psrish of bauxite-
yielding St. Elizabeth, another decap-
itation double murder had taken place.
It was Easter Monday, too, when
Wesley Whiteley nnd Sylvia Smith
were hacked to death and their attack-
er Hylton Witton drowned himself
in a nearby tank.
Reports were Witton and Miss Smith
lived together for a time as man and
wife, but the latter wanted n change
and broke off. Witton went to a dance
at Berlin and there he saw Whiteley
dancing with Miss Smith. He accused
Whiteley and n fight ensued. He chop-
ped off the heads of Whiteley nnd Miss I to find Th%ddev Tlvatt.

mlttee thnt the recent developments
In Virginia have shown that no such
authority is needed for the depsrtmeut
of justice.
"The stags would never have been
set In Virginia for resolving the issues
which doomed 'massive resistance' if
there had not been litigation to make
thie possible," declared the NAACP
executive.
He disagreed with Atty. Gen. Itog
era that there were enough laws under
which the federal government could pro-
ceed, and that any more laws empow
ering initiative action on the part of
the government might aggravate the
situation.
"The NAACP will not shirk its duty
in seeking redress for those who are
denied their civil rights," emphasized
Wilkins, and "the federal government
can 111 afford to be neutral in this
struggle for eqnal rights and consti-
tutional liberties."
Wilkins pointed out thnt it is not
fair, not decent and not American for
parents who seek integrated education
for their children in accordance with
the law should find arrayed against
them the massed powers of the states
including the treasuries composed in
part of their own tax money.
It is absurd in auch a situation to
maintain that the government of the
United States should remain an in-
active observer while courts are defied.
