Freedom Caravan
Over the nation freedom-defending leaders are mobilizing
for a celebration of the third anniversary of the May 17, 1954
United Stales Supreme Court decision in the field of public education. 
Groups from many sections of the nation will join the Prayer
Pilgrimage for Freedom which will climax with a noon-day civil
rights rally in Washington, D. C. The prime leaders of this spiritual
demonstration say it is designed "to arouse the conscience of the
Nation."
It should be noted that this dramatization of the group's intense 
yearnings for unwrinkled freedom and standard-class citizenship 
do not project this approach as a "march" or "crusade" or
"parade," Rather it takes on a solemn, moral and ethical color,
tone and quality. It does not advertise itself as a challenge but
as a conscience force. Therein lies its beauty, its strength and its
dignity.
It is in experienced hands with such leaders' at the top as
A. Phillip Randolph, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Roy Wilkins.
Under them it should be able to make a fine contribution. It seems
to be support worthy.
This is not, as we view it, a publicity stunt. It is an honest
effort to accentuate, evangelize, and energize those longings of
our group to enjoy those classic freedoms and to share the blessings 
of liberty while shouldering the responsibilities of first-class
citizenship. America's heart needs to be touched and this is one
way to try to do it.
The freedom caravan will be a good way to advertise an
America being made aware of its promise to all of its citizens.
The size of the Pilgrimage will be used as an index of support
of the freedom program.

Brownell Reiterates
Rights Recommendation
Attorney General Herbert Brownell, 
in his annual report for the
fiscal year ended last June 30, reiterates 
his recommendation that
the Eisenhower Administration's
civil rights program now pending
before House and Senate Committees, 
be enacted into law.
The report emphasizes the point
that Justice Department officials
have stressed in testifying before
congressional committees in support 
of the legislation.
It is that the proposals recommended 
to the Congress would
make no changes in the criminal
statutes, but rather would be limited 
to amending two civil statutes
and adding two new provisions.
One of the new provisions would
create a bipartisan civil rights
commission, withsubpena powers in
the Executive Branch of the Government. 
The other would raise
the civil rights section in the Justice 
Department to divisional status
with on Assistant Attorney General 
in charge.
The pending bill would give the
Attorney General authority to bring
civil suits to enjoin threatened violations 
of the right to vote and
other existing Federal civil rights
and would also give Federal courts
jurisdiction to hear such suits regardless 
of whether the aggrieved
person had exhausted state administrative 
or judicial remedies.
"More than at any other time
in the past," Mr. Brownell reported, 
"developments in the field of
civil rights have recently demonstrated 
the limited application of
existing federal law."
Because of the need for "strengthening 
and implementing the role
of the Federal Government in the
field of civil rights," the report
states, the 84th congress was urged
to enact new legislation.
Immediately after President Eisenhower 
made this recommendation 
in his State of the Union message 
on Jan. 5, 1956, the report
states, the civil rights, section in
the Justice Department was directed 
to survey all the civil rights
statutes and to recommend changes
to modernize the laws, make them
more effective, and give the Department 
the additional power
needed to protect the civil rights
of all citizens.
As a result of this study the
Administration's four proposals
were introduced in the House and
Senate. The House approved the
Cellar bill embodying these proposals 
last July 23 by a vote of
279 to 126. But, the bill was kept
bottled up in the Senate Judiciary
Committee until Congress adjourn

ed on July 27.
The Attorney General's report
discloses that the four proposals
embodied in the Cellar bill, as approved 
by the House, were reconsidered 
in the light of congressional
and other criticism and suggestions. 

The Department, Mr. Brownell
states, "is of the view previously
expressed to the Congress that this
legislation is desirable, sound and
appropriate.
"Events may make more urgent
the need for passage of the legislation, 
but whether the need increases 
or decreases, the Departof 
Justice should have the more
flexible civil powers provided by
the bill and should not be restricted 
to the use of the cumbersome 
and often harsh criminal
proceedings under the two criminal
statutes."
The report recalls the murder of
the Rev. George W. Lee the shooting 
of Gus Courts (both NAACP
leaders in Mississippi and the kidnapping 
and murder of Emmett
Louis Till.

brown onions first, then cook the
patties a while, then top with more
onions to finish the cooking—you
have got a real taste treat for your
family! I honestly believe that

MY WEEKLY
SERMON

"Heaven is not reached by a single
bound........... But we build a ladder
by which we climb."
We are to climb into the Holy
City, the eternal city, the home of
the soul. The first round or rung
of the ladder by which we climb is
virtue, a courageous goodness. It
takes Courage in be good, to yield
not to temptation to say "No" to the
devil and "Yes" to God.
The second round or rung of the
ladder by which we climb is knowledge........ 
Spiritual knowledge not
textbook knowledge. If any man has
ears, let him hear. If any man has
a thinker, a brain, let him think. If
any man is too lazy to use his thinker, 
he will be damned on account of
his ignorance. "The scriptures are
able to make one wise unto salvation." 
Let us study God's word.
The next rung or round of the
heavenly ladder is temperance. "Be
ye temperate in all things." It is alright 
to sleep but I must not sleep
too much: it is alright to eat but
I must not eat too much. I must be
temperate in all things that are lawful: 
but if a thing is unlawful,
wrong, then touch not; taste not;
handle not.
Suppose I go to a chicken house
and steal one chicken........ I could
have stolen twelve chickens, but I
will be temperate............ And steal
only one............Would I be a thief?
Yes, the Bible says "Thou Shalt Not
Steal." I could kill four men but
I'll be temperate and kill only one
....... Yes, I am a murderer, for
"Thou Shalt Not Kill."
Some one may say it is alright for
a man to drink as long as he doesn't
drink too much, but the Bible says:
"Look not upon the wine........... At
last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder." Temperance
has to do only with those things
that are lawful.
The next rung of God's ladder is
"patience." Let us pray to God for
patience for "in patience you possess 
your soul."
Mother, when the baby cries and
everything seems to go wrong, re
member 
God is simply developing
in you patience.
The next rung or round in the
climbing ladder is Godliness. At first
we are not much like God. The baby
at first doesn't look like his parent
— but he grows into the likeness of
his parents. So it is with the Christian 
life. We grow and as the years
roll by we become God-like in our
disposition.
The next rung or round is Brotherly 
kindness. "Be ye kind one to
another." Are you treating any one
mean? If so you ore hell bound. We
don't want people to be unkind to
us. Therefore let us practice the
golden rule of Jesus Christ.
Now comes the top rung or round
of the ladder, love, Love reaches into 
the very realm of heaven. When
we reach the top round "Love" we
have touched heaven itself.
When every thing else falls Love
wins. The world is hungry for love,
If you have a message of love for
someone, speak it now.
God so loved the world that he
gave us His only son Jesus. Jesus
so loved humanity that he laid down
his life for humanity. "Greater love
has no man than this."
Let us climb the steep ascending
ladder to heaven. God will give us
grace to climb; the Holy Spirit will
give us strength. Jesus the Christ
will give us His companionship for
Jesus has said, "Lo, I am with you
always."

Waller Reuther
Hits U.S. On Bias
Africa
and India will listen politely to
U. S. salesmanship in behalf of automobiles, 
TV sets and superhighways, 
but demand to know the facts
about Montgomery, Ala., and how
Jim Crow can exist in a free America. 
Walter Reuther declared here
last week.
The president of the UAW and
vice president of the AFL-CIO said
this country is in trouble around
the world because "the Russians
are selling ideas and we're selling
gadgets."
Radial discrimination, he said,
remains this country's greatest problem. 

ing sponsored by the constitutional
rights committee of the Toledo
Mr. Reuther spoke here at a meet
Bar Association.

Liberal Education

of such a free mind than does any
other academic area. It is useful
in giving broad perspectives in the
field of ideas. It makes one inventive, 
flexible and adaptable in
dealing with the physical and biological 
universe. Through science,
one can attain leadership in the
assumption of one's responsibility
to society and in meeting its
needs. These are all worthwhile
goals of any liberal education, Dr.
Nabrit exclaimed.
He stated that Catholics, Negroes
and women are underdeveloped potentials 
for the advancement of
science in America. "Obviously this
deficiency must be cultural rather
than native," the speaker said.
The National Science Board member 
continued that requisites for
the development of scientists include 
high aspirations in the family 
a good scientific environment,
atmosphere of free inquiry, a generous 
support of research, students
and teachers with an inquiring
mind, good science facilities, a well
trained faculty and a rich library.
"We sincerely hope that the new
science building will not become
simply a museum or a physical
evidence for a basis for accreditation. 
We hope further that both
scientists and liberally educated
students will be the final product
of the new science building which
you shall soon dedicate.' concluded 
TSU's President Nabrit.
Dr. James A. Colston, president,
Knoxville College introduced the
speaker. Dr. William McArthur,
head, Science Division, presided
Both were biology students of Dr.
Nabrit at Morehouse College, Music
was by the Vested Choir directed
by Dr. Newell C. Fitzpatrick.
A special session with science
students and interested persons was
held in the science building amphitheatre 
at 1 p. m. Dr. Nabrit's
visit was climaxed by an informal
chat over refreshments in the
colorful lounge.

Veterans Whirl
One of every eleven veterans who
apply for Veterans Administration
benefits in the Atlanta Regional
Office of the Veterans Administration 
have lost their discharge or
separation papers, J. M. Slaton, Jr.,
Manager of the VA Regional Office 
in Georgia, estimated today.
Although a veteran may be able
to obtain a certificate in lieu of
lost discharge or a copy of his separation 
papers from his branch of
service, this often takes considerable

time, Mr. Slaton said.
"Veterans can save themselves
both time and trouble by taking proper 
care of their discharge and
separation papers Mr. Slaton added. 

The best way to assure the safety
of your separation papers, Mr. Slaton 
pointed out, it to:
(1) Have photostats made, including 
one in wallet-size that can
be carried around with you.
(2)Have them recorded at your
county courthouse and returned to
you; then you'll always be able to
get a copy when you need it.
(3)Keep the original papers in
a safe deposit box at a bank or in
a strong box at home; and,
(4)Make sure your family knows
where the papers are kept so that
in case of emergency they'll be able
to find them without delay.

Govt. Restriction's Pose
Threat To Adv. Official Says
A
noted advertising spokesman told
a journalism-week audience at the
University of Missouri Wednesday
that increasing governmental re
gulations 
and restrictions pose "a
grave threat" to the industry.
Elon G. Borton president and
general manager of the Advertising
Federation of America, New York
City said it is "estimated that at
least 100 proposed laws are introduced 
in congress and State Legislatures 
each year to control or tax
advertising." He added:
"In addition, there are many proposed 
city ordinances and rulings
by state and national bureaus. Most
of them fail of passage, but each
year a few are passed and advertising 
is controlled a bit more".
Borton warned that unless the
trend is stopped, advertising "may
soon foreclose its freedom and its
ability to serve business and the
public effectively."
He listed three courses of action
which advertising and selling must
undertake to protect themselves
including.
1. Eliminate the bad advertising
practices — the cases of fraud,
exaggeration and bad taste.
2. Watch for proposed laws or
bureau orders constantly and every
where.
3. Be ready to inform legislators,
bureau officers and judges about
the place of advertising "in our
economy, and about the bad effects 
of any proposed regulations."

Russia May Build
Over 1,000 Subs
The
Navy said Friday that Russia plans
to build 1,200 submarines and added 
that some may already be armed 
with guided Missiles.
This was disclosed in heavilycensored 
testimony made public by
a house appropriations subcommittee 
Other highlights were:
1. The Navy has assigned top
priority to its fleet ballistics Missile 
program and believes its polaris 
Missile cannot be intercepted.
2. The Polaris, an intermediate
range weapon, should provide a
retaliatory force that can be fired 
at any target and requires no
overseas—support.
3. The keel of the first atomicpowered 
guided-Missile Crusier will
probably be laid next March 1 at
the Quincy, Mass., shipyard. Construction 
of some Parts is already
underway.
Rear Adm. F. B. Warder, Director
of the Navy's undersea warfare Division, 
said the Russians have at
least 250 transoceanic subs that
pose "A definite threat to the continental 
United States."
He said these subs can lay minefields 
and torpedo shipping on all
vital sealanes. He said the Soviet
goal is at least 700 long-range Uboats 
and added that production
may be as high as 100 a year.

Plane Breaks Power
Line Causes Dim-Out
A low
flying plane struck and broke two
220,000-volt power lines of the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
Friday, causing a paralyding dimout 
for 20 minutes in San Francisco 
and the heavily populated San
Francisco Peninsula.
More than one million persons
were affected as elevators in business 
buildings and hotels halted,
street cars and trolley buses in San
Francisco stopped and traffic signals 
ceased operating.
The plane and pilot were not
identified until Lieut. (J.G.) Harry
M. Nyberg of Berkley landed at
Alameda Naval Air Station and said
his ad-7 skyraider attack bomber
had hit the wires. Earlier Power
Company field men had reported
only that "a small plane" had caused 
the trouble.
The plane hit power lines running 
from 60-foot towers on a Hillside 
near Niles Canyon in Southern
Alameda Comity on the East side
of San Francisco bay.
One death was attributed to the
power failure Frederick Brand, 50,
a plant superintendent for the Pacific 
Telephone and Telegraph co.
died of a heart attack blamed on
overwork due to the power emergency. 

Teletype machines in offices of
International News Service and
other wire services and in newspaper 
and radio offices ceased chattering.

Two Drivers Die
In Auto Crash
The
drivers of two autos were killed on
Saturday, one of them hurried beyond 
recognition in his crushed
vehicle, in a fiery head-on crash
on U. S. highway 77, 11 miles north
of Guthrie in Central Oklahoma
A third person who was a passenger 
in one of the cars was critically 
injured.
The unidentified dead driver was
alone in the car which bore a
South Carolina license plate.
The other driver was identified
as Clifford Alton Roe, 28, of 2812
Wheeling St., Wichita, Kas. Roe was
pronounced dead On arrival at a
Guthrie hospital.
A passenger in Roe's auto was
described as in very critical condition" 
at the hospital and his identity 
could not be immediately determined. 

Oklahoma highway patrol troopers 
said Roe's, auto was pulling a
boat trailer when the two cars

crashed head-on.
The South Carolina car rolled
over, landed up side down and slid
onto the shoulder of the highway
before bursting into flames.
The mishop roosted Oklahoma's
toll of highway fatalities for the
year to 20l, the same as last year.

The Brass and the Blue
By
JAMES KEENE

WHATEVER bonds of loyalty
and respect Lieutenant Emil
Schwabacker welded between
himself and his men, he lost With
the civilian personnel. Four dead
civilians, according to their way
of thinking, was too much to pay
the Indians. A soldier was paid
to stand and bleed, but not a
civilian.
Rutledge Hughes made this
plain when he came to Schwabacker's 
fire and stood there,
legs wide spread, anger splashed
across his face. "I want some
talk and I want it now, Lieutenant." 

Finnegan and Schwabacker
both looked up from the coffee
Finnegan had made. "Sit down,"
Schwabacker invited.
"I'll say my say standing,"
Hughes said. "This little stunt
you pulled don't set good with
me."
"Sorry to hear that," Schwabacker 
said. "From a military
standpoint, the engagement was
a success. That entirely settles
the matter for me."
"But not for me," Hughes argued; 
"We don't think there
would have been any fight if you
hadn't invited them. When we get
to Kearny, there's going to be
something done about it." He
hitched up his pants and snorted
through his nose. "My men aren't
going to have their lives imperiled 
because some big-nose officer
is glory-hunting."
Schwabacker started to rise,
but Sean Finnegan put out his
hand. "You got a bad arm, sor.
Let me."
"Permission granted," Schwabacker 
said as Hughes looked
from one to the other. His attention 
centered on Finnegan
when the sergeant stepped around
the fire, his eyes belligerent. The
instant Hughes correctly read
Finnegan's intent, he bellowed
and charged, arms swinging. Finnegan 
struck out, catching
Hughes flush on the mouth. The
sutler staggered back, blood welling 
from split lips. Finnegan went
after him and hit him again.
From a prone position, Hughes
looked up, but the fight was
over. Schwabacker said, "Return 
to your camp; and if there
is any more of this you'll ride
to Kearny in one of your wagons,
trussed up like a chicken."
"I fight my own fights,"
Hughes said and got to his feet,
hands flailing dust from his
clothes. He glared once more at
Schwabacker then went to his
own camp.
Schwabacker said, "I'm in your
debt, Sergeant."
"Ah, sor, it was a pleasure."
The morning dawned bright
and yellow and the day turned
stifling hot before they had traveled 
fifteen miles. That evening
they reached Dry Creek, but at
this time of the year there was
water in it. Schwabacker allowed
bathing privileges, enlisted men
first For this Rutledge Hughes
put another mark against him.
By noon the next day they
reached Crazy Woman's Fork
and on the day after raised the
log palisade of Fort Phil Kearny.
Drawing his troop into precise
formation, Schwabacker led them
the final mile to the gate. He
entered first wheeling aside with
his command so the wagons
could skirt the parade and go
on to the quartermaster yard.
Sergeant McGruger was placed in
charge of the burying detail, for
Schwabacker had the dead in two
wagons. The wounded were taken
to the infirmary while. Sergeant
Finnegan dismissed the command
and made arrangements for billets 
and stable spare.
Lieutenant Schwabacker was
impressed with the fort. In spite
of the derogatory tales he had
heard about Colonel Carrington,
he decided that the man had
done a good job of construction.
The stockade, was heavy pine
trunks, eleven feet tall, hewn to
a touching surface, pointed and
looped for firing positions. Blockhouses 
sat on the two diagonal
corners and the massive gates
had small wickets and huge
locks. Three frame warehouses,
the hospital and four company
quarters were each eighty-four
feet long, the largest frontier billets 
Schwabacker had ever seen.
The flagstaff was in the center
of the parade, surrounded by an
octagonal bandstand upon which
Carrington had nightly concerts.
Diverging walks, each twelve
feet wide, passed to each street
The powder magazine was in one
of the squares thus formed.
The commanding officer's quarters 
were along the southwest
wall, and after turning his horse
over to the bugler, Schwabacker
went there to make his report.
An orderly admitted him and he
came to attention before a graying 
general of infantry.
"Lieutenant Emil Schwabacker,
sir. Commanding E Troop, 3rd
United States Cavalry."
Welcome to Fort Kearny,
Lieutenant" He waved Schwabacker 
into a chair. Brevet Brigadier 
General H. W. Weasels was
a blunt-bodied man, slow moving,
but with a keen intelligence in
his eyes. His fingers were short
and thick and he had the habit
of drumming them on the edge
of his desk, or his belt buckle.
"I'll be frank, Lieutenant: I expected 
to see Temple Jocelyn at
the head of that column."
"He's' been wounded, sir."
Schwabacker recounted the fight
at Ryndlee's road ranch. He then
made his complete report, covering 
the invited attack, Spotted
Tail's defeat, and Rutledge
Hughes' objections.
This impressed General Wessel's. 
He said, "The duty here
is rough, Lieutenant, but you
show promise. The Fetterman
massacre is still Red Cloud's
strong medicine. Couple that with
Carrington's bungling tactics and
this Sioux, believes he is invincible." 
His fingers continued to
drum. "I must say that it is
heartening to know that Red

Cloud's allies can take a licking.
I'll see that you receive proper
credit in my weekly dispatch."
"Thank you, sir."
"I like written reports, Lieutenant 
In great detail. Word of
month is easily misunderstood or
distorted. See that such a report
is placed on my desk by work
call tomorrow."
"Yes, sir," Schwabacker saluted 
and went out, where he found
the officer of the day waiting.
His quarters turned out to be a
small room near the end of a
long row of identical rooms. After 
the formality of signing for
the spare furniture, the O.D. left
and Emil Schwabacker waited
for his orderly to fetch his few
belongings.
But Sergeant Finnegan brought
them, along with the report that
the wounded were being cared
for and that none was likely to
die. Finnegan, for some reason
known only to himself, felt an
inclination to remain While
Schwabacker unpacked and hung
his uniforms.
Finally the sergeant said, "Sor,
can I ask a question?"
Schwabacker looked at him,
"Yes. Forget the rank in this
room, Sean."
"Ah, that's the way it should
be, sor."
"Was it that way with Jocelyn?" 

Finnegan frowned. "You're always 
bringin' that up, sor? He's
out of th troop, sor. You're in
command of E now."
"What did you want to ask me,
Sean?"
"Just that, sor How come you
got to work so hard, as though
you was tryin' to outdo him all
the time."
"Maybe I am," Schwabacker
said. He peeled off his shirt and
poured a basin of water. I've
lived a lifetime in the shadow of
a man who was so big I just
knew I could never be as good as
he was. So I went to West Point
to be on my own." He, paused
to splash water over his face.
He talked through the towel.
"The gods are against me, Sean.
The Civil War was over by the
time I was commissioned, my
assignment to Fort La ramie was
one of inaction, and on top of
that I got Temple Jocelyn for a
commanding officer, another man
like my father, only more kind,
even greater than my father."
Finnegan rolled this around in
his mind before speaking. "You've
been working mighty hard these
last two years, sor. I've sort of
watched from time to time. Beggin 
your pardon, sor, but that's
fool's business, trying to top another 
man."
"Some things we can't help,"
Schwabacker said. "But it's my
troop now. I mean to command
it to the beat of my ability."
"Ah, that you will, sor. The
lads all know it too."

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
The melody, of the hymns rolled from his throat like the
music of a bird in spring. Ever since that bright Sunday morning
in Cambridge, when the young man from Malaya sang the
Christian songs with such feeling, I hove wondered why jim crow
continues to sit in the pews.
His forebears did not know Christianity; he was converted
on the basis of its meaning and influence to man's soul. There
are millions who have followed the wisdom of the Malayan, but
there are many more millions who still let jim crow, instead of
Christ make the decisions.
Southern churchmen, while and Negro know this better than
anyone else. This may account for the small number of churchmen 
attending the recent Protestant meeting in Nashville. But
numbers don't always represent the thinking, and reasoning deep
in the souls of men.
"I always fell there were many others in the South that felt
as I did," said a minister from North Carolina," who summed up
the conference for the 300 out of 4,000 who came, "but I was
never sure. Now I know that there are at least 299 others."
He was right. There are others, an estimated 160 unsegregated 
Christian churches in the South. There are interracial ministerial 
associations in more than 20 Southern cities. And if one
would poll the church population closely, he would find many
more whites who are willing to accept Christ instead of jim crow.
Like the North Carolina minister, there are Chinese, Indians
and men of many shades who read and digest the Scriptures
without the emphasis on color.
A South African editor summed it up this way:
"The church has basic obligation, to adhere to the moral
and ethical principles of Christian teachings. Without this approach, 
our religion is a farce and an opiate to bigotry."
Dr. Benjamin Mays of Atlanta has also stated it clearly.
"We speak the same language .... worship the same God
.... and fight for the same flag, wouldn't it have been wonderful 
if the church had led the Supreme Court?"
The materialists have been more fundamental in their
thinking than many Southern churchmen. At least, there is a
central line of reasoning; not two sides to the God they follow.
I'm sure they wonder what kind of prayer one prays, and the
nature of sermon one preaches,, while jim crow sits in the pews.
