chief counsel for Mm
4AACP, explained that the de-
ay did not mean that the NA>
I CP or Miss Lucy was "quit-
tag" the fight against the Uni-
enlty of Alabama.
Marshall said:
"So modi of the term has
im by that regardless of
rhat legal step* are taken, there
* • good possibility she has
delayed so long she would
* be able to finish this term."
Miss Lucy took time out from
er battle to disclose a roman-
le secret and repudiate a Colu-
mnist effort to picture her as
ati-Amerlean.
Early last week, the young co-
I said she was going to get
tarried and identified her fliw-
e as Hugh P. Foster, a divinity
tudent at Butler college, Tyler,
'exas. She said she met the 27
ear-old Munford, Ala., native
i>il« they attended Miles eol-
•ge in Birmingham in 1950.
i On Wednesday, Miss Lucy dls-
[aimed a propaganda broadcast
■ade in her nume by the Com-
IUII 1st radio of North Yiet-nam.
The coed said she liad never
any statement to, or had
ny contact with, any person or
ty she knew to be Comniu-
Her statement was record-
in New York by the Voice
America at the legal offices
the NAACP.
"I categorically deny that I
in at any thaw written a letter
i any Communist organisation
thcr in America or abroad,"
Lucy said. "Neither have
made a statement for any
eoelation, publication, or or-
inisation under Communist
ntroL
'I know very little about
tmmunism and have had no
atact with any person or
;ency known to me to be a
preventative of the Communist
irty.
"I am an American and I
Meve in the American system
government. I am also a Cliris-
in and believe in the teach-
gs of the Christian religion,
y understanding is that Com-
unism rejects democracy and
liglon. Accordingly, I could
ive no interest in such an ide-
ogy. In my struggle for rec-
riition as an American stu-
nt, I have approached it in
e American spirit and without
e help of any enemies of our
untry."
Flanking her aa she posed
r the television men were
'. Ralph J. Bunclie, Dr. Chan-
■g Tobias, Arthur Splngarn,

Law Approved
By Virginia
By the Associated Negro Press
RICHMOND, Va.—The state con-
stitution of Virginia was formally
amended last week to allow the
use of public funds to aet up pri-
vate schools to preveut Integration
of Negro and white pupils.
The action was taken by a 40-
man convention, called by popular
vote for the specific purpose of
amending the constitution.
A special education commission
suggested the change after the Vir-
ginia supreme court ruled that the
constitution of the state forbids the
use of public funds for private
schools.
Money will be provided for par-
ents who refuse to send their chil-
dren to Integrated public Bchools
or where schools are closed to avoid
integration.

statement demanded by Rev. Alex
ander, and Insists that her original
article la true. Had it not been, she
said that Rev. Alexander conld
have, and would have, sued her.
She declared that she could not
consider herself as having been
turned out of the church, as the
church had not notified her of any
charges against her, that she had
had no opportunity to appear before
the church to hear charges against
her, or to defend herself against such
chnrges, and knows no vote of the
majority of the church to "turn
her out.'1 She declared that the at-
tempt to turn her out was made
while she was out of the city.
She declares that she has been
unable co get a hearing, and that all
tbe Information she has concerning
action against her, has been by the
way of "rumors."
Miss Hicks charges thnt she has
tried, without success, to get a hear-
ing before the church.
She admitted that four deacons
had visited her, concerning the
controversy, but said they were not
sent by the church, nor were they
able to state one charge against
her, that would Justify her asking
the pastor for forgiveness.
Miss Hicks charges that, In an
attempt to get a hearing, she sent
the church a letter, asking for an
opportunity to vindicate herself,
but the letter was never read to the
church. Other registered letters
were not accepted, she said.
The article she published con-
cerning the pension and 09-yeur cull
had followed the same channels,
she said, as had those that, on
happier occasions, she had previous-
ly published in the interest of Cor-
inth.
"I am not contending to be s
member of Corinth, or a nation-
al officer, but ... my objective
is to stand for right, and right-
eousness."
She declared that she regretted
airing the case publicly, but, she
said:

naked power for established law.,
"We regard the decision of the
Supreme court In the school cases
as a clear abuse of judicial power.
It climaxes a trend in the federal
judiciary ... to encroach upon the
reserve rights of the stales and
the pcotu-i. . . .
"Though there has been no con-
stitutional amendment or net of
congress changing this established
legal principle (of segregated
schools), almost a century old, the
Supreme court of the United States,
with no legal basis for such action,
undertook to exercise their naked
judicial power aud substituted their
personal political and social Idea"
for the established law of the land."
The congressmen said "this un-
warranted exercise of power by the
court ... Is creating chaos and
confusion . . . (nnd) Is destroying
the amicable relations between the
white nnd Negro (Negro was not
capitalized) races (hat had been
created through 00 years of pa-
tient effort by the good people of
both races."
They pledged themselves "lo use
all lawful means to bring about a
reversal of this decision which Is
contrary to the Constitution, and to
preveut the use of force in its im-
plementation."
The group also coin mended "ibe
motives of those states which have
declared the Intention to resist
forced integration by any lawful
means."
The scope of the rebellion was
too broad for hasty analysis and
there was complete lack of com-
ment during the first 48 hours fol-
lowing release of tbe document.
Not since the Civil war have so
ninny lawmakers uttered open de-
fiance of the Supreme court. There
Is no doubt that the action will
cause the Democrats to lose Negro
votes, but there Is the larger-threat
of a final collapse of tbe party It-
self.
Clearly, the action poses the
most serious threat to the Negro's
struggle for equality, and If allowed
to grow, could bring this country
to the jiosltlon which existed just
before the Civil war.
