The U. S. Shakes Hands Wilh Africa
Twice despite the rain and weather, a smiling Vice President
stepped from his automobile to greet and shake hands with men
arid women. He also greeted school children and chatted with
old people.
A short, while earlier, Richard M. Nixon arid his wife had
stepped from his plane at the airport to be greeted by over
50,000 in Ethiopia.
The Vice President's trip to Ethiopia was only one of the
several stops made during his goodwill trip to Africa, where he attended 
the independence celebration of Ghana, (Gold Coast,
West Africa.)
At no place, during his visit to Africa, did the Vice President
meet a cold welcome, the exception only being the Sudan. Even
here, the Sudan government took strong exception to action by
Communists who distributed leaflets against the Vice President.
Even in Morocco and other parts of Africa, the receptions were
colorful, warm and friendly.
No one has to guess how for this went in terms of prestige,
and international goodwill on behalf of America. The President
of the United States made a diplomatic move in sending The
Vice President to Africa. The move served to further demonstrate 
the willingness on the part of the people of this country
to give full recognition where it has been most deserving.
Centuries and geography have kept us away from the Continent 
of Africa much too long. This has been so because many
of those in leadership position, have been so narrowed and restricted 
to tradition, that vision has been blurred end relations
between the darker peoples of the world have been kept at a
distance.
But along comes a new leader in the White House and a
new era as a result of him. A broad concept of world affairs
that taken cannot live by bread alone is being translated into
terms of international feelings so that nations (as well as individuals) 
might catch the spirit of the times. Hands across the continents 
to Africa will eventually have deep meaning in terms of
peace and a free world. We are fortunate in having a President
and Vice President endowed with the vision to see this.

Shelby Delegation Asked
To Recommend Vets Bonus
A local veterans organization. Vet
erans Benefit, Inc., has written
members of the Shelby County delegation 
to the state legislature asking 
that they sponsor a bill that
would give a stale bonus to Tennessee 
veterans of all wars.
Atty. J. F. Estes, president and
consellor of VBI, said his organization 
has requested an audience
with the Shelby delegation on the
bonus.
In commenting on why he thought
a state bonus should be given Tennessee 
veterans Estes said:
"A Veterans Bonus for the state
of Tennessee is a dive need and
constitutes, a compelling necessity.
A large number of Tennessee veterans 
are unemployed and veterans
with G. I. homes are in need of
added, cash to save the G I homes
from foreclosure.
"The lenders who are holding
mortgages have in many instances
refused to except partial paymant
on delinquent G. I. home loan mortgages 
but harshly insist on full
payment up-o-date or foreclosure
at once. This practice has caused
a 90 per cent turn over to G. I.
ownership to persons who otherwise 
would not be eligible fur G. I.
loans other than by purchasing on
a foreclosure or resale of a delinquent 
G. I. home mortgage.
"Many veterans are in need of
added capital in a reasonable amount 
to continue operation of
many small businesses which are
decreasing and will tail if extra
production and working capital can
not be obtained. Veterans who
are owners of small businesses have
met wish default in meeting with
the stiff compeition of chain operated 
business Unless the veteran
is able to raise needed cash the
small business operated by the veterans 
will suffer a serious depression 
and consequently bankruptcy. 

"The veterans farm is in dire
need of crop production cash from
equipment cash and operating finance 
to harvest their corps. The
veterans are unable to diversity the
farming interests by lack of cash
to underwrite the cost of prorable
vegetable crops, cattle raising, poul
try and hog production. With a
cash  the veterans farmer can
transpose a dilapidated state of
economy into a dilapidated state of
of prosperity for himself condition
and country.
The veterans Benefit Incorporation 
requests a bonus for constructive 
purposes only.
"The Veterans Benefit is expecting 
5,000 signatures and troop trains
to travel to the State Capitol to in
sure passage of this bonus ilgislation."

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT,
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, MEMPHIS

The Bible is a book of audacious
sayings. Our text seems a paradox.
Here ........... It is better to be at a
funeral than at a marriage. A tear
is more to be desired than a laugh.
Sighing is more musical than singing. 
This is truly an irritating text.
But the Bibls says so and it is true.
The Bible is right. The pathetic
in life is the attractive. The patience
of the poor is sublime. In music "the
sweetest songs are those that tell
the saddest thought."
Why is sorrow better than mirth?
A life of sacrifice is the life and
also the happiest life. The Saints
who forget "number one" know
true rapture and ecstasy. A ministering 
life is richer than a life of
self gratification. Sorrow creates,
character and reveals character. A
crushed rose-bud smells the sweetest. 
We cage birds that they may
sing the better.
The happiest and sweetest life on
earth was the life lived by our
Saviour Jesus Christ. Despised and
rejected by men; denied and be
trayed 
by his intimates; scourged
and crucified by his country-men:
yes these were the pleasures of osorrow. 
Out of the crushed life of Jesus
came Easter and the world is a better 
place. Remember, "it takes the
night to bring out the stars." It is
truth indeed that it is better for
the world that Jesus elected to go
to the house of mourning than to
the house of feasting. Because Jesus
so-elected we can sing with the late
Bishop C. P. Jones.
Yes it is an audacious saying but
it is profoundly true saying. "It is
better to go to the house of mourning 
than to go to the house of feasting."

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor
Atlanta Daily World
It is now a part of history, that cold day in January in New
York back in 1827 when two young Negroes came together to
pool their ideas. The date is most significant, even to this day; it
was the inception of the Negro Press.
John Russwurm and Richard E. Cornish founded Freedom's
Journal, the first Negro newspaper in America. It is significant
today, because during this very week, we celebrate they 130th
anniversary of one of America's most formidable institutions, the
Negro Press.
Perhaps, there is no other institutions in American life which
has had such on impact and left such a lasting mark on the souls
and minds of Americans as the Negro newspaper.
In a sense, even in this year of 1957, we come not to bury
the Negro Press, but instead, to praise it. For despite all the social
and economic changes in our present culture, the Press is here to
stay. The reasons are sound and numerous.
First of all, one must be wiling To examine the purpose and
climate from which the Press had its inception. Human slavery
was in existence at the time in America, and the Press was created
to fight it. People had to be informed with the practices; people
had to be persuaded to eliminate such practices. Even the Negro
had to be taught that, he was not in reality a slave, but a human
being. He had to become convinced that the same red blood that
ran beneath his dark skin was no different from that of the
Indian, the white man or the brown man. He had to be taught
some pride; pride in himself, his family and respect for his own
institutions.
The year of 1827 was only the beginning, and as the institution 
has grown, it has taken on momentum; like a snowball,
it has increased its weight and force, gathering speed as it rolls
down the mountain or enlightenment. And perhaps more than
anything else, the Negro. Press has held to those principles of
democracy.
As for back as World War I, while Negroes fought and died
to make the country safe for democracy, their families back home
were the victims of injustices. The Press exposed these. The result
was that decent whites in America along with people abroad,
began to work for the greater realization of a democratic society.
The Press took the initiative during World War II. With the
tremendous manpower shortage, Negroes were being denied
the right to work and the right to fight for their country. Again,
the Press came to the front, exposing the bigotry, and injustices.
The result from this move took the problem to the desk of the
President of the United States, Action brought us Executive Order
8802 (FEPC).
It also set the climate for more constructive opinion by big
manufacturers and business men. As one man observed when
he entered one of his plants and saw no Negroes working:
"There would be far less white crosses in Europe today, if
there were more black hands along these assembly lines."
The Press has been far more than a weapon of persuasion.
It has done a tremendous job of education, it has taught both
whites and Negroes respect for the individual person. It has beat
against the conscience of the white man to the degree that he has
become ashamed of same practices. To many, the Press has been
the Bible of reality, truth and a destruction to the image and
stereotype.
To the Negro the Press has been an institution out of which
he hos gained pride, a keen sense of dignity and self reliance.
Because of this, today, nobody can substantially tell the Negro
that he is not somebody.
The period of 130 years may have been a long time in terms
of years along with the conditions and problems born out of such
an era. But to the Negro Press, as an institution, it is relatively
a short time. This is most magnificent in terms of what it has done
in defense of democracy, and decency in the World. It is the light
that has burned for 130 years.

Recipe of the Week

One of the things I enjoy most
about cooking is finding a new way
to combine two favorite foods in one
dish — and malting "something
new" that my family really likes.
That's why BARBECUED CORN
AND MEAT BALLS, made from my
Pet Evaporated Milk recipe, has always 
been one of my favorites.
We've always liked meat balls, and
always liked corn — but, in combination, 
and in a zippy barbecue
sauce, they're really extra-special!
Another thing I like about this Pet
Milk recipe is the wonderful results 
you get making the meat balls
— they're always so tender and
juicy, with such delicious, meaty

flavor. You see, Pet Milk helps
bind the moat and-bread-crumb
mixture together ........ actually
blends it together ......... so you got
all the good meat flavor without
the dryness you usually find in
meat balls made from meat alone.
Of course, you couldn't get those
results with ornidary milk, because
Pet Milk is ; in fact, it's
a little more than twice as rich as
regular bottled milk. Honestly, I
think you'll find meat balls made
this way are the best ever ...... and
that Pet Milk makes Barbecued
Corn and Meat Balls a dish everyone 
in your family will love. Try
my recipe — and just see!
1 1b. ground lean beef
1-2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Few grains pepper
1/2 cup PET EVAPORATED MILK
2 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon paprika
2 Tablespoons hot fat
1-4 cup finely cut onions
1-4 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 1-4 cups water
1 lb. can whole kernel corn,

drained
Mix well the beef oats, 1 teasp.
salt, the pepper and milk. With wet
hands, shape mixture into 8 balls.
Roll balls in a mixture of flours,

on all sides in skillet in hot fat. Add
onion and cook slowly 5 minutes
Stir in a mixture of barbecue sauce
and water. Cover and cook over low

DEMOCRATIC RALLY PRINCIPALS —
Principals attending the Shelby
County Democratic-Club's program Friday at which James H. Bobo,
administrative assistant to Mayor Orgill was principal speaker,

included: (standing, left to right) Atty. H. T. Lockard, the Rev. D.
W. Browning, F. Kilpatrick, Atty. Bobb, Dr. J. E. Walker, the Rev.
Alexander Gladney and James T. Walker. Seated in the club's
secretary, Mrs. Hattie Foster.

Complete Text Of
Atty. Bobo's Talk
The twenty-years of Democratic
Party leadership under President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry
S. Truman have aptly been called
the "golden era" of human rights.
These men followed a generation
of Republican Party rule and
"trickle down" philosophy in which
many Americans were underpaid
and unprotected slums, ravages
of disease and limited educational
opportunity was their daily fare.
President Roosevelt conceived
and executed a plan which freed
millions of Americans of all races
creeds and color from the shackles
of deprivation and want imposed
upon them by a Republican Party
which places profits for the few
above the rights and the welfare of
the many.
These two great Americans and
great Democratic presidents added
humanity to the science of government. 
They made government work
for YOU and not just the few.
Just what were some of thesbenefts 
that came from this "golden 
era"; Under the Democrats
your dollar bought more. Factory
employment was up 21 per cent
under the Democrats. It is down
under these Republicans. Factory
weekly earnings were up 31 per
cent under the Democrats. Loss of
overtime and long layoffs slowed
these increases under the Republicans. 

The average person's income was
up 22 per cent after the 20 years
under the Democrats.
Negro earnings-rose to 15 billions
of dollars annually as Democratic
policies opened opportunities to
them.
Lest we forget? Equality of job
opportunity is so firmly establish
ed as a policy of our Federal Government 
that we are apt to forget
that the whole idea was developed
under Democratic administations
of the last 25 years.
On June 25 1941 President
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed his
famous Executive Order establishing 
equality of job opportunities
among employers working on goverment 
contracts. Negroes were
given the opportunity to work
not just as laborers but on an job
for which they were qualified and
equal pay had to be given for equal
work.
Ten of thousands of Negro
women who had been poorly paid
domestically found work in industry 
for the first time. Scores of
thousands of Negro men who
could only get laboring work were
upgraded to skilled and semi-skilled 
jobs.
This naturally resulted in tremendously 
increased production
during the war years and boosted
the economic level and standard of
living of a large segment of our
population.
Today the Democratic Party is
still in the corner of the "little
man" and in spite of the lack of
leadership from a "part time president" 
a Democratic Congress has
passed law which mean money in
your pocket.
The Democratic 84th Congress
passed the $1 Minimuum Wage
Bill over the opposition of President 
Eisenhower.
The Democratic 84th Congress extended 
the Social security System
to include 9 out of 10 workers.
Women are now eligible to retire at
the age of 62 and disabled persons
at the age of 50 Forty-one Senate
Democrats voted for total retirement 
disability benefits at 50. The
Republicans were holding out for
5. The Democrats in Congress did
not feel like Eisenhower when he
said, if you will recall: "If all
Americans want is security, they
can go to prison. They'll have
enough to eat, a bed and a root
over their heads."
The Democratic 84th Congress
gave more funds than the Administration 
asked in order to provide
free polio Vaccine to children from
1 to 9.
One hundred and nineteen Republicans 
voted against and killed
a Democratic School Aid Bill and
President Eisenhower didn't do one
thing to stop them. In fact, Eisenhower 
has said: "We are all dedicated 
to better education without
letting the Federal Government
stick its nose into local business.
Was it sticking the Federal Government's 
nose into local business
when the Democratic Party, fought
for and got through, grants for
state programs providing library
services to rural areas and
authorized $378 million in funds for
schools in Federally affected areas?
Was it sticking the Federal Government's 
nose into local business
when the Democratic Party broad
ened 
the school's milk program to
include camps and nurseries for
underprivileged children and non
profit child care centers and agencies? 

Democrats fought for 20 years to
ease the classroom shortage. These
Republicans have given only token
attraction to 
attention to this pressing problem.
The Democrats believe in education 
for all the people. These Republicans 
say they do too but won't
build any schools for them.
Thirty-four Senate Democrats
voted for the start of 135 000 public 
housing units, 31 Republican
voted against.
We need more homes. The Democratic 
party pioneered the field
of public and low-cost private
housing, and the Democratic Party
Platform in 1956 reiterated what
the Democratic Party in 1949 had
said "that every American family
is entitled to a decent home and
a suitable living environment."
These Republicans have sabotaged
that goal by reducing the public
housing program to a fraction of
the nation's needs.
Eighty-two per cent of Senate
Republicans voted to support President 
Eisenhower's veto of 8.6 per
cent pay raise for postal workers.
96 per cent of Senate Democrats
supported a higher increase in
wages.
Big business got 73 per cent of
all tax relief given by the Republicans. 
The "little people" got
per cent. The Democrats, unlike
the Republicans, do not believe
that "the right to suffer" is on
of the joys of a free economy.
You know when the Republicans
came into office they changed the
name of the Federal Security
Agency to the Department of
Health Education and Welfare. It
could have been more appropriately
titled as the Department of too
little health, inadequate education
and not much welfare under the
Republicans.
The general welfare is the first
concern of the Democratic Party.
It has had experience in welfare.
The Democratic Party was the
architect of the great Social Security 
program. Its objective was
to help lower paid workers to help
their families; to help widows and
orphans the crippled and disabled
to help large numbers of old citizens 
who are unable to lay aside
enough for their old age.
Hospital construction additional
assistance to the aged and an expanded 
stronger unemployment in
surance system, are naturally. a
part of the Democratic Party goal.
The Democratic Party is the
party of the working people . . .and
it should be .... for the Democratic
Party gave birth to a free and
healthy labor movement. The Democratic 
Party makes labor a full
partner and pledges assistance in
areas of mass unemloyment and
the extension of the minimum wage
to all workers egaged in affecting
interstate commerce.
To many American Negro citizen
the Armed Services were for many
years the symbol of second class
status.
President Harry Truman ended
this by Executive Order and it is
still the law today.
At home and abroad the United
States Army now speaks louder
than words of the rise in the dignity 
of all Americans regardless of
race and dramatizes their right to
the full fruits of American democracy 
and makes a lie of much
Communistic propaganda.
In 1949 all Army jobs and training 
courses were opened to Negroes 
without restriction.
In 1950 segregation in messes and
barracks was abolished and the 10
per cent limit on Negro strength
in the Army was cancelled.
By 1951 not a single Negro soldler 
in the Far East was serving
in an all-Negro outfit.
The Air Force had integrated 95
per cent of all Negro personnel by
March 1951.
Let's look also at some Negro

citizens, who have been appointed
or elected office holders under the
Democratic Party.
Judge Irvin C. Calleson, appointed 
by President Truman to the
United States Customs Court in
New York City. He is the first Negro 
Federal Judge in History.
Judge Andrew J. Howard, Jr.
appointed by President, Truman to
the Municipal Court of the District 
of Columbia.
Dr. Rufus E. Clement, president
of Atlanta University, who was
elected to the Atlanta Board of
Education by Negro and white Democrats 
voting together.
Judge Harold A. Stevens New
York. First and only Negro justice 
of the Supreme Court of New
York.
Judge Wade H. McCree, Jr.,
Third Judicial Circuit of Michigan 
First Negro Circuit Judge of
Michigan. Appointed toy a Democrat. 

Under Secretary General of the
United Nations, Dr. Ralph Bunche
the first Negro to be given the responsibility 
of representing all of
the American people on the international 
Wont, was first appointed
by President Roosevelt.
Arthur C. Ford Commissioner of
the Department of water supply
Gas and Electricity of New York,
who was appointed by Democratic
Mayor Wagner.
Judge Homer S. Brown, Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas of
Alleghany County, Pa., was appointed 
by Democratic Governor
trader.
Judge William II. Hastie of the
United States Circuit Court, of Appeals 
was the first Negro to be
apointed to the U. S. Circuit
Court President Roosevelt appointed 
him.
Benjamin Wilson Democratic
President of the City Council of
Gary, Indiana, the first of his
race to hold such a position in the
State ot Indiana.
Robert C. Weaver, who was appointed 
State Rent Administration
of New York by a Democrat governor. 

Mrs. Vell Phillips the only woman 
elected to the City Council of
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Austin T. Walden one of two
Negro members of the Democratic
Executive Committee, City of Atlanta, 
Ga. And there are many
many others too numerous to mention. 

Of the five Negroes who have
served in the United States Congress 
since 1930 four are Democrats. 

More than 150 Negro Democrats
now hold elective public office on
national, state and local levels, Less
than a dozen Negro Republicans
hold elective public office.
The Democratic Party for the
past 26 years has been the vehicle
by which Negro citizens on all
levels participated in their govemnent. 
A basic principle of American 
Government of the people
shall be government of the people
bv the people and for the peoyle.
The Democratic party believes in
this concept and has made use of
representatives from all segments
if the American population who
have done a real job of governing
themselves.
On the question of School Desegregation 
neither Democrat nor
Republicans are responsible. This
no a decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
Democratic Party has said that
"The Supreme Court decision is
the law or the land and as the
law of the land must be upheld."

President Eisenhower said, on the
Supreme Court decision: "I think
it makes no difference whether or
not I endorse it." Now don't you
think that, Americans on both sides
of this question have a right to
know whether or not their President 
does or does not endorse the
Supreme Court decision?
There, are still many problems
that face Americans of all races.
As these problems arise they will
be studied and settled by men of
good will on both sides of every
question. I personally have a great
faith in the American people to
guide their destiny and to guide it
along the path that will redound
to a benefit for a greater and
richer life.
I firmly believe that the Democratic 
Party with its forward looking 
principles is the party that
will best serve us air on the firm
in the city, the big man and the
small. It is the Party for YOU and
not the few!!!

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY HAS MEANT
TO THE NEGRO?
The twenty-years of Democratic
Party leadership under President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry
S. Truman have aptly been called
the "golden era" of human rights.
These men followed a generation
of Republican Party rule and
"trickle down" philosophy in which
many Americans were underpaid
and unprotected slums, ravages
of disease and limited educational
opportunity was their daily fare.
President Roosevelt conceived
and executed a plan which freed
millions of Americans of all races
creeds and color from the shackles
of deprivation and want imposed
upon them by a Republican Party
which places profits for the few
above the rights and the welfare of
the many.
These two great Americans and
great Democratic presidents added
humanity to the science of government. 
They made government work
for YOU and not just the few.
Just what were some of thesbenefts 
that came from this "golden 
era"; Under the Democrats
your dollar bought more. Factory
employment was up 21 per cent
under the Democrats. It is down
under these Republicans. Factory
weekly earnings were up 31 per
cent under the Democrats. Loss of
overtime and long layoffs slowed
these increases under the Republicans. 

The average person's income was
up 22 per cent after the 20 years
under the Democrats.
Negro earnings-rose to 15 billions
of dollars annually as Democratic
policies opened opportunities to
them.
Lest we forget? Equality of job
opportunity is so firmly establish
ed as a policy of our Federal Government 
that we are apt to forget
that the whole idea was developed
under Democratic administations
of the last 25 years.
On June 25 1941 President
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed his
famous Executive Order establishing 
equality of job opportunities
among employers working on goverment 
contracts. Negroes were
given the opportunity to work
not just as laborers but on an job
for which they were qualified and
equal pay had to be given for equal
work.
Ten of thousands of Negro
women who had been poorly paid
domestically found work in industry 
for the first time. Scores of
thousands of Negro men who
could only get laboring work were
upgraded to skilled and semi-skilled 
jobs.
This naturally resulted in tremendously 
increased production
during the war years and boosted
the economic level and standard of
living of a large segment of our
population.
Today the Democratic Party is
still in the corner of the "little
man" and in spite of the lack of
leadership from a "part time president" 
a Democratic Congress has
passed law which mean money in
your pocket.
The Democratic 84th Congress
passed the $1 Minimuum Wage
Bill over the opposition of President 
Eisenhower.
The Democratic 84th Congress extended 
the Social security System
to include 9 out of 10 workers.
Women are now eligible to retire at
the age of 62 and disabled persons
at the age of 50 Forty-one Senate
Democrats voted for total retirement 
disability benefits at 50. The
Republicans were holding out for
5. The Democrats in Congress did
not feel like Eisenhower when he
said, if you will recall: "If all
Americans want is security, they
can go to prison. They'll have
enough to eat, a bed and a root
over their heads."
The Democratic 84th Congress
gave more funds than the Administration 
asked in order to provide
free polio Vaccine to children from
1 to 9.
One hundred and nineteen Republicans 
voted against and killed
a Democratic School Aid Bill and
President Eisenhower didn't do one
thing to stop them. In fact, Eisenhower 
has said: "We are all dedicated 
to better education without
letting the Federal Government
stick its nose into local business.
Was it sticking the Federal Government's 
nose into local business
when the Democratic Party, fought
for and got through, grants for
state programs providing library
services to rural areas and
authorized $378 million in funds for
schools in Federally affected areas?
Was it sticking the Federal Government's 
nose into local business
when the Democratic Party broad
ened 
the school's milk program to
include camps and nurseries for
underprivileged children and non
profit child care centers and agencies? 

Democrats fought for 20 years to
ease the classroom shortage. These
Republicans have given only token
attraction to 
attention to this pressing problem.
The Democrats believe in education 
for all the people. These Republicans 
say they do too but won't
build any schools for them.
Thirty-four Senate Democrats
voted for the start of 135 000 public 
housing units, 31 Republican
voted against.
We need more homes. The Democratic 
party pioneered the field
of public and low-cost private
housing, and the Democratic Party
Platform in 1956 reiterated what
the Democratic Party in 1949 had
said "that every American family
is entitled to a decent home and
a suitable living environment."
These Republicans have sabotaged
that goal by reducing the public
housing program to a fraction of
the nation's needs.
Eighty-two per cent of Senate
Republicans voted to support President 
Eisenhower's veto of 8.6 per
cent pay raise for postal workers.
96 per cent of Senate Democrats
supported a higher increase in
wages.
Big business got 73 per cent of
