Privacy At Forest Hills

The West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, is two
things: first, if is a private club which, in this land of the free,
is entitled to choose its members according to taste; it might
require all members to have red hair or to have an intelligence
quotient of 150 or more or, possibly, of 100 or less; second, it
is a club with some national and international significance as
long as it remains the stage on which international and national 
tennis matches are played.
In its private capacity the club may choose, as it has done,
to deny membership to the son of Ralph Bunche, or, in general,
to deny membership to any Negro or any person of the Jewish
religion. In its public capacity, as on institution with some diplomatic 
functions, the club has no right to make these discriminations. 
We do not exaggerate when we say that the refusal of
the West Side Tennis Club to accept Ralph J. Bunche, Jr., or
any other qualified young man of whatever race or religion,
hurts the cause of the United States the world over.
We seek to hold or gain the friendship of Asia's and Africa's 
millions. Incidents such as that at Forest Hills will undo
much that has been accomplished by the sweat arid devotion
of our true ambassadors, who have striven in obscurity arid
under hardships to exemplify an ideal that Sir Henry Newbolt
gave to the International Tennis Club of Great Britain: "The
brotherhood that binds the brave of all the earth." For such
men, and for many of us who stay at home,. Ralph. Bunche,
winner of a Nobel Prize, superbly courageous, highly intelligent,
cultured and compassionate, belongs among the elect of our
generation. No group could exclude Ralph Bunche Without signifying 
its own spiritual poverty.
The same copy of this newspaper which brought the news
from Forest Hills also told of an eminent Chinese scientist who,
after serving this country well in his specialty, was refused admission 
to two Maryland beaches because he and his family
Were not "Caucasians." On the same day President Eisenhower
found it necessary in his press conference to reject "the theory
that prejudice, religious prejudice should rule our choice of candidates 
and officials in this nation."
We cannot do anything about the West Side Tennis Club's
membership requirements. We may suggest that if it continues
to make such requirements it should no longer be considered
representative of American public opinion in tennis or in any
other area. We might also suggest that- those who control Maryland's 
beaches, or any other beaches, reread some of the
amendments to the Constitution and possibly one or two decisions 
of the United States Supreme Court.
There are a number of extravagances we cannot afford
in our present struggle to keep Western civilization alive and
thriving. One of these extravagances is that stupid and cowardly 
thing, racial and religious prejudice.

A Working Creed

The National Education Association boasts something
around 700,000 members. Largely, they are teachers in the
public schools of the nation from Maine, Minnesota, and Oregon
to Georgia, Texas, and California. Over 5,000 of their delegates
have been attending the NEA's annual meeting in St. Louis.
For this convention to put this great organization of teachers 
unequivocally on record against racial discrimination in taxsupported 
schools and on behalf of the Supreme Court's declaration 
of what the Constitution means in this regard by "equal
protection of the laws" would have carried an inspiring message
to the world. But for the many dedicated teachers who are
grappling with their own hands, so to speak, with the emotionpacked 
problem of racial adjustments, and in the communities
in which they live, such a pronouncement could have made their
roles doubly difficult.
It might have weakened their positions on other fronts
they must defend — perhaps their own jobs — against accusations 
that they are too liberal, or "progressive," or unorthodox.
Asit turned out the NEA convention resolved that:
All problems of integration in our schools are capable
of solutions at the state and local levels by citizens of intelligence, 
saneness, and reasonableness working together
in the interests of national unity for the common good of
all.
No ringing battle cry for change everywhere and now.
But a credo under which teachers of "intelligence, saneness,
and reasonableness" can appeal to the solid core of citizens in
their communities who possess the same virtues.

NOT BY GUNS ALONE

THE LITTLE TOWN of Barrancas 
was made up of two
distinct sections. The old original
settlement, op Upper Town as
most folks called it, was inhabited 
solely by poor, small-scale
farming natives. Their two dozen
small mud-plastered houses were
built around a plaza, but their
farms lay back a mile or so to
the toothills.
On the other side of Ojitos
Creek lived the middling-prosperous 
Anglos, and here it was that
the county courthouse was located. 
In order, to reach this part of
the town, the folks from the high
mountain ranches to the north
and east had to come through, the
native settlement.
As Slade and Frenchy rode
down out of the pines they saw
that there were a number of men
milling about the plaza, but it
was not a very uncommon sight.
They had numerous fiesta days,
although Slade had never bothered 
to keep track of them. Something, 
however, in the way Frenchy 
jerked erect in the saddle
aroused Slade's caution and he
chin-pointed to a narrow cow
trail that circled the village on
the upper side.
"We will go that way," he said,
and motioned for the Frenchman
to lead. "Those folks are friends
of yours. Maybe it will save us
time and trouble if we bypass
them."
Frenchy hesitated, and again
Slade saw in his dark eyes speculation 
as to Just how fast
Slade's gun might come out of
its holster.
"Plenty fast, Frenchy," he said
grimly. "I never shot a man—and
I'd sure hate for the first one to
be you."
Frenchy shrugged, and started
to neck-rein the bay to the side,
then stopped again. "I theenk
more better not," he said. "Look!
They comeeng this way. An' they
got clobs an' gons! Better you
ron' fast! I settle weeth them!"
His warning was unnecessary.
Slade had seen the movement toward 
them at the same instant
as Frenchy. Some of the Mexicans 
were Jumping on horses,
others were coming up the hill
on foot.
Slade had never seen a mob in
action before, but there was no
mistaking the grim, determined
surge of this one. For a second,
surprise held him motionless in
his saddle. It was not strange
that these people who were
Frenchy's friends should resent
his arrest, but it was baffling
how they had got wind of it and
worked themselves up to the fever
pitch even before he and Frenchy
got down here.
Seeing that some of them were
armed with guns and knowing

now volatile their temperament,
he knew just how dangerous it
would be to make a run for it—
unless he left Frenchy behind,
and that he didn't intend to do.
His gun suddenly came but of
its holster, and swung on
Frenchy. "Get off your horse!" he
ordered grimly. "You were in
town this morning, Frenchy—and
this crowd's already primed for
action! I aim to find out what
it's all about!"
Frenchy looked at him, started
to speak, then shrugged, and
obeyed the Order. Slade swung
out of his saddle, keeping the gun
on the big Frenchman.
"Start moving! Down the hill—
toward them!"
The mob was getting close now,
but growing less bold with every
step, they shouted angry threats
of what they would do to the
"" They brandished 
their clubs and guns fiercely, 
but their steps had lost that
grim, determined rhythm.
"Stop here!" Slade said quietly.
He prodded the gun into the
small of Frenchy's back. The big
Frenchman winced away from it,
and stopped.
Ten yards away the mob halted,
looking uncertainly at each other.
There were still angry shouts of:
"Keel heem!" "Shoot the —!"
Slade spoke to them quietly
in Spanish. "You boys go on back
to the plaza. You can't help
Frenchy by breaking the law
yourselves." Then as some brave
members, in the rear shoved the
front ranks forward a step or
two, his voice sharpened. "Keep
back or I'll let you have it!" For
a moment his gun left Frenchy
and covered the mob.
The next second, from under
cover of the pine trees to his
right, a small-caliber rifle shot
cracked sharply. Frenchy Jumped
forward with a convulsive movement 
as if the gun at his back
had fired. Slade's sixgun leaped
out of his grip as if hit with a
hammer, and for a second he
stood looking down at his suddenly 
paralyzed right Jam. But
except for the stinging spot or
two from spattered lead, he was
not hurt it was the shock of a
bullet hitting the cylinder of his
sixgun that had numbed his arm.
The mob surged forward again.
Frenchy hesitated, then with an
odd, grim look on his face he
moved aside and let them come.
For a minute Slade tried to make
a fight of it but with a numbed
right arm he was no match for
two dozen armed men.
A club the size of a fence post
swung against his shoulder and
spun him round, as he fought to
keep on his feet The next instant
a gun barrel laid forcefully along
the side of his head crumpled
him with a soft grunting sigh.
When he came to he was in the

Saddle again, leaning forward
over the horn. His hands were
tied behind him, and there was a
tight rope across his back to
Keep him from slipping sideways.
He couldn't straighten up, but he
could raise bis head a little and
he saw that the sorrel was being
led toward a couple of big cottonwoods 
on the bank of Ojitos
Creek.
Frenchy, with the swayback in
tow, was walking ahead with the
leaders of the mob. He saw too
that Bacho on his little brown
mule had ridden down from the
sheep ranch and Joined the mob.
Bacho looked drunk again. His
shoulders were hunched up, he
had Ms chin half buried in his
coat collar, and seemed to be
talking to himself. He swayed
drunkenly tn the saddle in perfect 
rhythm to the short-paced,
almost prancing gait of the little
mule.
Slade wondered fleetingly what
Bacho had done with the sheep,
and if Frenchy knew he had
Joined the necktie party, but his
brain was still too dazed from
the blow on the head to think
very clearly.
Suddenly the little mule
stumbled. Bacho nearly lurched
out of the saddle. He straightened, 
yanked hard on the reins,
and began swearing in drunken
anger. He jabbed his spurless
heels into the mule's flanks half
a dozen times, and the animal,
with seeming good humor, kicked
up halfheartedly. Bacho nearly
slid out of the saddle again, and
clutched desperately for the saddle 
horn.
Some of the Mexicans laughed,
and Frenchy turned, round and
glared at his irresponsible herder.
But somehow in all the ruckus
Bacho had managed to steer, the
mule over until he was alongside
of Slade's sorrel. He looked up,
met the cowboy's eyes squarely,
and then—surprisingly—winked.
Slade felt his nerves jerk with
shock, for Bacho's eyes weren't
the droop-lidded eyes of a drunk
man. He was sane and sober and
that wink had been meant to
convey encouragement—which it
did out of all proportion to
Bacho's probable ability to give
help. The little herder was unarmed, 
he was puny in size, and
Slade had never considered him
exactly keen witted, but the
knowledge that he had an ally
knocked the last of the grogginess 
out of the cowboy's brain
and be began to try to figure
some way out of this mess.

ideas do not set well with
the great majority of voters anymore. 

"In this election, the Negro's selfrespect 
is at stake. He cannot stand
by and see the power of 55,000 voters 
nullified because the white candidates 
are afraid to give recognition 
to that vote. The Negro represents 
a protest voice. A protest
against injustice. If he accepts injustice 
without protest, he will destroy 
his own sense of dignity.
Therefore, the Negro shall not surrender 
to what is expedient, but
will (take a courageous stand, for
what is right."
Lee went on to say that he has
been asked "why colored candidates
at all?" Since the supreme court
has already established the legal
rights of colored citizens, henceforth, 
it is not a question of establishing 
them, but exercising them,
and this accomplishment has to
depend less and less on the white
leaders and more and more on the
colored headers. A white friend in
position of authority will always be
valuable of course, but he will be
far less valuable than a wise leader

of the Negro's own race."
The "Negro's Position" statement
was signed by Lee and seven others,
who included: A. Maceo Walker,
co-chairman of the Volunter Ticket
and president of Universal Life Insurance 
Company and Tri-State
Bank; A. W. Willis, Jr., secretary,
who is an attorney and associated
with Mutual Federal Savings and
Loan Company; Jesse Turner, treasurer, 
who is vice president and
cashier of Tri-State Bank; Atty.
Russell B. Sugarmon, candidate for
commissioner of Public Works; Rev.
Henry Bunton, pastor of Mt. Olive
CME Church and Rev. Roy Love,
pastor of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church,
both candidates, for the Board of
Education; and Atty. Ben L. Hooks,
candidate for Judge of Juvenile
Court.

Bury Victim Of

only to collaspe and die in the arms
of Dr. Lubin who had rushed into
the kitchen after hearing the victim's 
screams and the screams of
the shocked cook, Mrs. Hattie
Young.
Witnesses said Pride tried to escape, 
but that another employee
of Dr. Lubin held him in check
with a pistol until police arrived.
The suspect was unemployed.
Mrs. Martha, White, the victim's
mother of the St. Paul address, said
Pride had threatened her daughter
several times and on the night before 
the savage slaying. She said
her daughter talked about getting
out a warrant for his arrest, but
decided against it, saying she was
not afraid of her husband.
Mrs. White said Pride "left the
house about three weeks ago after
he had quit his Job." She said he
"argued viciously" with his wife
when she inquired as to where he
was going to tve, and as to whether
he had found somewhere else to live.
She said Pride snapped, "I don't
need a room and I have my own
money ...... and I'll see you dead
yet."
On the night before the slaying,
Mrs. White said Pride "came around
peeping in the windows before he
made more threats against my
daughter. He fled on foot after we

discovered he had broken into the
house."
Mrs. White attributed "Jealousy"
as the motive for her daughter's
slaying. "My daughter was one of
the most respected young women
in this community," she said "She
worked hard to provide for her
children, didn't run around, and
brought her money in for household 
use."
Mrs. White discounted reports
that the suspect & mentally unbalanced. 
"There is nothing wrong
with him," she said "He was just
jealous."
The victim attended St. Anthony
School and was graduated from
Hamilton High School. She was the
mother of two small children, Michael

Shrine Tuberculosis

substantial grants to many, hospitals, 
and research centers. Scholarship, 
alone since 1950, amounts
to well over $36,000.
The Tuberculosis and cancer
Research Foundation, established
in August, 1949, by Ancient Egyptian 
Arabic Order Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, during its St.
Louis Convention, has grown each
year with larger funds being made
available in an effort to further
aid in stamping out at least two
of the most feared diseases in
America today.
The Foundation provided the
Shriners and the members of their
national auxiliary, a focal point
for national charity. The Foundation 
is supported by Shriners and
Daughters of Isis contributions
along with funds derived from
various projects sponsored by Temples 
and Courts throughout the
nation.
Small at the beginning, the
Foundation has grown rapidly in
scope, according to the report. The
first grant was made in 1950 exclusively 
to organizations devoted
to tuberculosis and cancer research. 
That same year scholarships 
were begun to deserving
young people.
The American Cancer Society
was presented a donation of $15,000 
for Cancer Research during
the Boston Convention. In November 
of that same year Freedman's
Hospital, Washington. D. C. was
presented $20,000 for Tuberculosis
studies.
The very next year. Homer G.
Phillips Hospital, St. Louis, Mc.,
was granted $15,600 for research
in Female Cancer and Diagnosis.
This hospital has since this initial
grant in 1961, received additional
funds bringing the total to upwards 
of $468,00.
Additionally, the Shrine Foundation 
has made a $2,000 study grant
to an individual for Cancer study
in Europe. In 1954, the Carver Research 
Foundation at Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama, was granted
$3,600 for research. A second grant
in the same amount has since been
awarded the institution.
Scholarships, according to Mr.
Dyett's report, each year are
awarded to young ladies participating 
in the 11-year-old Shrine
Talent and Beauty Pageant. He
points out that these scholarships
are divided among the young ladies 
from an annual sum of $4,000.
Mr. Dyett commenting on the
use of the scholarships tells of
"the highest praises" from, both
recipients and schools for the efforts 
of Shriners and Daughters
of Isis in education. He challenges
the organization's membership to
"give thoughtful consideration" to
further advancing the amounts of
scholarships in this day and age
of rising cost in educational institutions. 

While lavish in the worthwhileness 
of the scholarship program
Mr. Dyett pointed to a structural
change already instituted, in the
annual Talent Pageant. He said
to acquire the increasing emphasis
on talent certain phases of the
national protect, has been eliminated. 
Noticeable was the exclusion 
of the Bathing Suit feature. 
He reported that this change
was designed to assure participation 
for scholarships and awards
toy an increasing number of talented 
young people, in the higher
skills. The change will be a part
of the 11th National Pageant at
Los Angeles, August 19th.
The Dyett report concludes with
a listing of schools where the
scholarship during the past ten
years have been used. He listed:
The Chicago Musical College, Julliard 
School of Music, New York;
Wayne University, Schools of Music 
and Law, Detroit, Michigan;
Traphagen School of Fashion Design, 
New York; Howard University, 
Washington, D. C.; Hampton

Pittsburgh, Pa.; Carnegie University, 
Pittsburgh, Pa.; Oberlin College, 
Oberlin, Ohio; New York
School of Drama, New York; Tillotson 
College, Austin, Texas; St.

Ohio.
Additional he points out that
medical grants for the 1958-1959
year were made in the amount of
$33,500. They went to St. Mary's
Infirmary, Galveston, Texas, $7,000;
The College of Medical Evangelists,

alone since 1950, amounts
to well over $36,000.
The Tuberculosis and cancer
Research Foundation, established
in August, 1949, by Ancient Egyptian 
Arabic Order Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, during its St.
Louis Convention, has grown each
year with larger funds being made
available in an effort to further
aid in stamping out at least two
of the most feared diseases in
America today.
The Foundation provided the
Shriners and the members of their
national auxiliary, a focal point
for national charity. The Foundation 
is supported by Shriners and
Daughters of Isis contributions
along with funds derived from
various projects sponsored by Temples 
and Courts throughout the
nation.
Small at the beginning, the
Foundation has grown rapidly in
scope, according to the report. The
first grant was made in 1950 exclusively 
to organizations devoted
to tuberculosis and cancer research. 
That same year scholarships 
were begun to deserving
young people.
The American Cancer Society
was presented a donation of $15,000 
for Cancer Research during
the Boston Convention. In November 
of that same year Freedman's
Hospital, Washington. D. C. was
presented $20,000 for Tuberculosis
studies.
The very next year. Homer G.
Phillips Hospital, St. Louis, Mc.,
was granted $15,600 for research
in Female Cancer and Diagnosis.
This hospital has since this initial
grant in 1961, received additional
funds bringing the total to upwards 
of $468,00.
Additionally, the Shrine Foundation 
has made a $2,000 study grant
to an individual for Cancer study
in Europe. In 1954, the Carver Research 
Foundation at Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama, was granted
$3,600 for research. A second grant
in the same amount has since been
awarded the institution.
Scholarships, according to Mr.
Dyett's report, each year are
awarded to young ladies participating 
in the 11-year-old Shrine
Talent and Beauty Pageant. He
points out that these scholarships
are divided among the young ladies 
from an annual sum of $4,000.
Mr. Dyett commenting on the
use of the scholarships tells of
"the highest praises" from, both
recipients and schools for the efforts 
of Shriners and Daughters
of Isis in education. He challenges
the organization's membership to
"give thoughtful consideration" to
further advancing the amounts of
scholarships in this day and age
of rising cost in educational institutions. 

While lavish in the worthwhileness 
of the scholarship program
Mr. Dyett pointed to a structural
change already instituted, in the
annual Talent Pageant. He said
to acquire the increasing emphasis
on talent certain phases of the
national protect, has been eliminated. 
Noticeable was the exclusion 
of the Bathing Suit feature. 
He reported that this change
was designed to assure participation 
for scholarships and awards
toy an increasing number of talented 
young people, in the higher
skills. The change will be a part
of the 11th National Pageant at
Los Angeles, August 19th.
The Dyett report concludes with
a listing of schools where the
scholarship during the past ten
years have been used. He listed:
The Chicago Musical College, Julliard 
School of Music, New York;
Wayne University, Schools of Music 
and Law, Detroit, Michigan;
Traphagen School of Fashion Design, 
New York; Howard University, 
Washington, D. C.; Hampton
Institute, Hampton, Va.; Virginia
State College, Petersburg, Va.;
Pittsburgh School of Modeling,
Pittsburgh, Pa.; Carnegie University, 
Pittsburgh, Pa.; Oberlin College, 
Oberlin, Ohio; New York
School of Drama, New York; Tillotson 
College, Austin, Texas; St.
Francis School of Nursing, Columbus, 
Ohio.
Additional he points out that
medical grants for the 1958-1959
year were made in the amount of
$33,500. They went to St. Mary's
Infirmary, Galveston, Texas, $7,000;
The College of Medical Evangelists, 
Los Angeles, California, $6,000;
Homer G. Phillips, St. Louis, Mo.,
$5,000; Howard University, Washington, 
D. C. $7,000; Meharry Medical 
College, Nashville, Tenn.,
$3,500; and Emory University,

One of the conspicuous features
of our time is a renewed interest
in the Church. This interest finds
expression in ecumenical conversations, 
in student "bull sessions,"
in informal adult discussions. Everywhere 
one finds increasing evidence 
of a strong conviction that
the life of the church must be
rekindled and that, to this end,
there is much to be learned from
the experience of the Church in
the past. The explicit purpose of
this little book is to further this
interest.
There are, to be sure, many extended 
and detailed histories of
the Christian Church, and there
are many smaller volumes which
tell the vivid and dramatic story
of the growth and expansion of
the Christian movement. But, valuable 
as these materials are, they
have definite limitations. The
standard Church history textbooks
are much too long and too detailed 
for casual reading. The narrative 
accounts, on the other
hand, do not raise the significant
issues, and consequently provide rather 
thin fare for the reader who
is seeking answers to serious questions. 

Our fine book this week seeks to
fill a gap between the two types
of available material. It is neither
a detailed text nor a dramatic account 
of the history of the

church. Its aim is much more
modest. It is designed to provoke
reflection by raising questions relevant 
to our time within the
context of past Christian experience. 
What is the Church? What
lessons may be learned from the
past? What is the meaning of
these lessons for us? What are we
as members of the Christian community 
in our day, expected to
do? How are we to understand our
Church and how are we to order
its life? It is not enough, however,
simply to raise questions. It reflection 
upon these questions is to
be intelligent, basic information,
is indispensable to understand fully 
the implications of the issues
that have been raised. And this
little book seeks also to provide.
Call by your library today and

of the Christian Church" by Winthrop 
S. Hudson.

J. Ashton Haves

about a Negro's candidacy for a
Board of Education position or any
other office. I would like to state,
also, my personal idea of what
should be the position of any one
aspiring for office, regardless of
color.
"As I have said before, I would
run, not to represent Negroes, but
as an American citizen to represent
all people. We need to put as far
away as possible the idea of running 
as a race representative."
Gentiles, Jews, Catholics and
even Orientals run for public office 
in the United States. And no
great hue and cry is raised as to
their race or national origin. And
that is why I feel I have been
misused, and all the Negro candidates 
are being unfairly treated,
when undue emphasis is placed on
their race and color in the press.
"The Negro is of all colors, from
a cockroach brown to a lily white
. . . the result of miscegenation,
which is a phase of integration . . .
and all of which was against his
(the Negro's will. To be proscribed, 
penalized, and Viewed askance
NOW for seeking equal status as
American citizens, such as running
for public office which we help
support, seems grossly unfair.
"Negro youth is being cruelly disillusioned 
already by the content
and presentation of their race in
many of the textbooks used in our
schools. The Negro is depicted as
solely a hewer of wood and drawer
of water. Why not include a suitable 
course in Negro history in the
public schools, so that the Negro
youth and others, may learn of the
Negro's contributions to this nation's 
progress?
"Let the Negro youth know that
there has never been a Negro traitor 
in the history of America. Let
him know that during times of
America's greatest perils the Negro
has played his part honorably in
battle, in toll, in loyalty, and good
will for the welfare of America.
"The press does the Negro a
serious disservice when it treats his
legitimate aspirations for recognition 
as a citizen and dignity as a
human being, as a subject for special 
treatment and biased slanting.
Such treatment is directly in line
with the textbook tradition found
in the schools, of treating the Negro 
as a social outcast, and at best
a cultural curiosity.
"That is why I feel I have been
mistreated, along with those Negroes 
who have announced for office, 
in the local press. It is true
that the press may have its own
professional standards as to what
constitutes news. Perhaps the undue 
emphasis on race is an outgrowth 
of such considerations.
"But under the acute climate of
today, when sectional and world
tensions, have set up an atmosphere
which is at once menacing and unhealthy, 
it stands to reason that
the American press. Justly noted
for its insight and dedication to
the welfare of this nation, should
be the first to take the lead in
making the needed approaches and
adjustments to avoid making the
conditions worse by slavish adherence 
to professional traditions or
social prejudices.
"No, I'm not a candidate for any
office at this time. I do not think
if expedient."
