Atlanta Sets An Example For The South It was possibly John Ruskin who tried to see "sermons in stones and good in everything." If good would be seen in the rampage of the late candidacy of Lester Maddox for mayor of Atlanta against the incumbent nominee, William B. Hartsfield, it would certainly lie along the line of a demonstration to the rest of the state and the South how the old racial issue is dying out of political campaigns. It can be truthfully said that on the surface as well as in underground-whispering, the race question came to its crucial test for votes. The incumbent mayor was accused of everything from being responsible for the police debaucle to being the candidate' for the NAACP. The race question, therefore, had its full sway; it was played up for all it was worth, still the incumbent who was charged with being the NAACP candidate came through in a two-to-one victory, with more votes from the white precincts than in the primary. In the second place, a record vote turned but in the election. Both white and Negro piled up a new and appreciable record. That shows that we are coming of age in going out and making an election really an election. So, Atlanta stands tall among the timbers of big cities; it writes for the record that candidates from here on will need more than Negro race-bait, that she is not interested in candidates who try to sell to voters a legal point already sustained at the legal level, as something to be pandered around on the stump. Now, Atlanta sets a laudable pace for the whole South. We have said before that we hope that the last gubernatorial campaign was the last in which segregation would be fused into the issue. We felt that plenty of wholesome questions would be up by the time another state campaign got under way. We are proud of the new record Atlanta set in the election that will be welcome reading all over the nation and newspapers and magazines will accord Atlanta a new place on the scroll of progressive measures. The Deep South states would do well to follow this example. Under the philosophy of "good in everything" here is hoping that the good coming out of this recent municipal campaign will be a hint to those men in the state pondering the race for governor. Maybe it will be seen that race-bait can be left on the fishing banks while statesmanship plunge out into the deep to cast large nets for tolerant draughts of fish. Let it be hoped that Atlanta has pointed another milestone in the campaign pattern and has demonstrated definitely that voters are demanding a change in bait.

The conference then took up various sections of the domestic program. While the President was there, there was a discussion of the 1959 Federal Budget. The budget presentations were made by Perceval F. Burndage, Director of the Budget, and Robert P. Anderson, Secretary of the Treasury. Hagerty was asked Whether the doctors had determined if the President's illness was due to a clot or a cerebral spasm. He said he could not answer that. A reporter then said a doctor, in delivering an address had said the illness was due to neither but was probably due to drop in blood pressure. Asked whether that was a possibility, Hagerty replied: "I am always amazed by statements of doctors who are not in on the case." He declined to comment on any statement made by any doctor who was not in the case. Asked Thursday whether the President feels as normal, healthwise, now as before his illness, Hagerty declined to answer. He said Major Gen. Howard McC. Snyder, the White House physician, had said Wednesday night that the President is fine and everything is all right.

Lawson, a Washington lawyer, to represent him in the suit to oust him from office brought by 10 Baptist ministers — five of whom were candidates for his job. Associated with Mr. Lawson in the defense of the suit will be Ben Wilson, a Gary, Ind., lawyer and attorney for the convention. Mr. Wilson was here the other day and went over the draft of a motion to dismiss which will be filed on behalf of Dr. Jackson. Attorneys for Dr. Jackson will probably ask for more time in which to file their answer to toe complaint. They are gathering affidavits from ministers across the country, who attended the annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., last September and who will sweat he is the choice of an overwhelming majority of the delegates to the convention. The White House may announce any day now the appointment of a successor to Judge Herman E. Moore or the United States District Court for the Virgin Islands, who is retiring. Washington hears that the State Department may lift its passport ban on Paul Robeson and permit him to go to Latin American countries and give concerts but not to Europe and Asia. The State Department has assigned Earl H. Link to Ghana as the third secretary of the American Embassy there. Master Willie Wade, a Cub Scout from Jersey City, is playing his first stage role in "The Country Wife." which was recently seen at the National Theater here and is currently running on Broadway. Starred in the show are Julie Harris, Laurence Harvey and Pamela Brown. The heat is on the after-hour spots which have been running illegally here over since prohibition ended. A reporter for a daily tabloid was allowed to visit these spots without any questions being asked After frequenting them for a while, he reported to Major Robert V. Murray, Chief of Policemen were seen in these places and warmly welcomed by the owners, that drinks were sold without licenses, that numbers bets could be made, and that prostitutes were available. Major Murray asked the reporter to withhold his information until he could get an undercover man into these spots and build up cases Next time the reporter a attempted to visit the same spot, he was refused admission. His paper then published the stories, and the police turned on the heat. About The Presidency . . . On both days Mr. Eisenhower arrived at his office at about 8 a. m.

The general election of December 4 proved this point conclusively. In the heart of the Deep South, in the shadow of the continuously bigoted State Capitol administration and fanned by hot flames of prejudice and the Little Rock "occupation," a great attempt was made to turn Atlanta backwards to the days of bitter Reconstruction, Magnolias and Mint Juleps. I THINK IT WAS the wife of the defeated mayoralty candidate who expressed it best of all, when commenting on election results. She called restaurateur Lester Maddox defeat: "The Will of God." She added that she was "not disappointed," that her husband had run "a great race." The clincher followed: "But he was not running against one man alone." Her reference to the will of God" apparently was penance for the Maddox campaign waged on the race-baiting level. VICTORIOUS Mayor Hartsfield said his election was proof that "the people of Atlanta don't want Atlanta growth and prosperity to be stopped by racial controversy." He added: "When you stop to hate, you stop all constructive work." Atlanta has spoken. That voice includes the echoes of thousands of determined voters who got out bright and early that cold election day morning If you failed to see them nearing the polls, or approaching the voting machine booths, you missed seeing good, American democracy at work. The face of an honest, determined voter is a good thing to look upon. We need more of them throughout the South to guide this great section to complete cultivation of all its most beautiful and progressive potential. Our Great Town . . . BY WILLIAM A.

KNOW YOUR LIBRARY by MAUDDEAN THOMPSON SEWARD Jesus used symbols again and again. He referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd, the Door, the Light of the World, the True Vine. When He wanted to teach His disciples humble service He girded Himself with a towel and washed their feet. To make vivid the opportunities for evangelism. He said to His disciples, "Lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest." (John 4:35) His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of an ass suggests that He was ready to announce His kingship. Many of His miracles and parables are filled with symbolism. The Christian Church throughout the world remembers the night when He instituted the blessed. Lord's Supper, how He said, when He had taken the bread and given thanks. "Take, eat; this is my body." In like manner He also took the cup. Symbols are common in every walk of life. Every day we use symbols of friendship when we shake hands, nod or wave or smile to someone; likewise when we send greeting cards, flowers, or gifts. In the world of thought we constantly use words which stand for ideas and expressions. In our schools we use letters and numbers in order to grade pupils and bells to signify that school is beginning again or that class period is over. The business world could hardly get along without checks to represent money in the bank. Despite the extensive use of symbols by our Lord and the common use of symbols in everyday life, some people do not care for symbols in church. In the days of Elizabeth and Cromwell there were people who went so far as to think they were working for the glory of God when they destroyed pipe organs, stained glass windows, and other works of art. The only justification for disliking symbols is fear of their becoming idols—ends in themselves rather than representations of something greater. There is no danger of idoltry when the meaning of a symbol is understood. Call your library today and get a copy of OUR CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS by Freidrich Rest, and see what all the symbols mean you see in churches.

Dr. Baker said several of the accepted schools had a "long tradition of educational excellence." Dr. Harris said the recognition had been "fairly earned.' In the past the Association merely made recommendations to the 63 Negro colleges accredited by it The 18 institutions were given full membership after a mild debate The remaining 45 schools retain their accreditation recognition. Death Of Kelly To Create Row In Demo Ranks The recent death of Representative Augustine B. Kelley, of Pennsylvania is certain to create a row within Home Democratic ranks unless. Representative Adam Clayton Powell, of New York, supinely submits to further humiliation at the hands of his Democratic colleagues. Mr. Kelley's death makes Mr. Powell the second ranking Democrat on the House Education and Labor Committee. By the seniority rule, Mr. Powell would succeed to the championship of the labor subcommittee, which Mr. Kelley headed. Prior to the last session of Congress, Representative Graham A Barden, Democrat, of North Carolina, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, never organized any standing subcommittees because of Mr. Powell's membership on the committee. Mr. Powell, under the seniority rule, was entitled to be chairman of the education committee. Mr. Powell wanted that chairmanship. But he never got. During the last session of Congress, Mr. Barden apparently got the nod from the House Democratic leadership that he could organize standing subcommittees and pass over M. Powell. Consequently he named six stand standing subcommittees appointing Kelley as chairman of the labor subcommittee arid skipping over Powell and naming Representatives Cleveland M. Bailey, of West Virginia, as chairman of the education committee. U. S. Committed in these critical times, for it believes that it is lack of understanding which has not just this moment become aware of its position, but in the most recent past has sent its most influential sons across the country to enlighten the public on the issues involved." The attorney mentioned the situation in Little Rock, Arkansas. He mentioned the courage of the parents and students, not only in Little Rock, but in Charlotte, N. C., Kentucky Tennessee, and other places where integration in the public schools has met some opposition. "It is interesting" he said, to note in passing that the move to bring the potentially massive force of a city's conscience into action was given impetus by the business leaders of Little Rock, and we might as well wish this could be reversed. "Many questions," he continued "which have arisen in the last few weeks will go unanswered, but the question as to whether disobedient to the law of the United States will be tolerated, has been answered." In reference to action by the Supreme Court, he pointed out that not only has the Court taken specific action against segregation in public education but has also pushed segregation aside in many other areas. "Thus the Court has declared the law of the land and it is equally applicable to each of us and that includes Governors of each of our states. "Certainly, it could not be said that the intention of the farmers of the Constitution was that the American Negro be compelled to bear the brunt of its obligation and not enjoy of all of its protection., he added. He said that the Governor of Arkansas was a sick man and all those who act like him. He made it clear that his remarks were not restricted to people like Governor Faubus of Arkansas. He said that some of us here have made ourselves ludicrous as well as hateful and unjust, and only sick people knowingly do that." The Fraternity honored several people for "outstanding" contributions to the Atlanta community. The Citizen of the Year award went to Dr. H. M. Holmes of Atlanta. He was instrumental in initiating the suit that led to integration of the golf courses. Dr. C. Clayton Powell was named the Omega Man of the Year. Dr. Powell has not only worked steady with the Fraternity but has been active in community and civic projects throughout the city.

HOME REPAIRS FURNISHED ROOMS Men Only Board, Laundry Service Phone BR 2-3777 MY WEEKLY SERMON By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Somebody lives in you, your house of clay. Your life is inhabited. A hero or a villian lives in you. Your body is a house. Who lives in this house? Do evil occupants live in your house of clay? You can't live an empty life for nature abhors a vacuum. Haunted, hounded and hurt lives are such because the doors of their lives, their minds have been opened to ignoble and destructive guests. Who walks with you in the lonely hours; who talks with you in your silence; what memories are written in your mind? What are our dreams, our desires, our ambitions? What company do we welcome in the reception room of our hearts? You can keep the evil ones from knocking on the door of your heart, but you need not invite him into your heart and sup with him. What restrictions do you place on the frontiers of your personality? The Apostle Paul cried out, "Christ lives in me." Yes the purpose, the spirit, the love of Christ lived in Paul. Paul cried out, "Christ lives in me" and across the Roman Empire Paul trugged the dusty highways for King Jesus. Does Christ live in you? Remember no two objects can occupy the same place at the same time. The attributes of Christ cannot live in you if you are full of the devil. So many people are full of evil, full of the devil. If Christ lives in you, evil twhiits destructtive forces cannot find lodgement in your life. If love lives in you hate cannot enter. How the devil is seeking to enter your life. Therefore "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may destroy." Let us welcome to the house of our lives, the lovable companion Jesus Christ. Fling wide the door, and as the spiritual presence of Christ prevades your life the phantoms of evil will flee as though chased by an army. Let us take the words of Rev. 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: If any man hear, my voice and open the door, I will open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him and he with me." Here we have a picture of the immortal personality Jesus, the Christ, on His brow is a crown of thorns, in His nail wounded left hand there is a lantern, with. His nail wounded right hand He is knocking at a fast closed vinedraped door. He is knocking hoping you will open the door. Beholding this picture we wonder "Why don't they open the door, can't they hear Jesus knocking? "Perhaps there is so much raucous revelry, such a screaming vendor such a blasting radio they can't hear Jesus knocking or perhaps they are so far back in the house or perhaps they are sleeping and the rapping of Jesus cannot awaken them. Maybe there is a drunken browl there—in or may be they are ashamed to let Him in. Let the heavenly guest who died for us, into the hotel of your life. Then when these timbers of our frally bodies decay, fall and turn to dust and loam, we will have a "fairer dwelling built to last till all the carpentry of life is past." May we be able to echo the words of Paul. "I am crucified with Christ: yet nevertheless I live: Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." WHO LIVES IN YOU? By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD.

The Lonely Man By JAMES RONALD THE MAN was about to shut the door in Deborah's face. She said weakly, "I only came because I—" Deborah felt like crying but she was determined not to cry. She would not give this bewildering brute the satisfaction of seeing her in tears. "Well, go on Explain yourself, if you can," be said impatiently. "I don't know what this is about," she said. "I'm a stranger. I've lost my way. My car is stuck down the road with a flat tire." In the slanting oblong of light from the open doorway he studied her mistrustfully from bedraggled hat to scraped toecaps. Gradually, his expression changed. It was infuriating. She did not want his pity. It was sufficeently mortifying to know that she looked like a drenched scarecrow. It would have given her satisfaction to slap his face. It took no clairvoyance to read his mind. He did not want to let her in. He only wanted to be rid of her. But in the circumstances he did not see how he could turn her away. He made the invitation gracelessly, without words. He stood back, with a jerk of his head, to let her pass. "If there's another house within miles," said Deborah, making a feeble stand on her dignity, "I prefer to take my chance there." "There's another house at the next bend—but the old lady who lives there is as deaf as a post." Deborah started to say that she would rather crawl on hands and knees through mud than be beholden to him. In the middle of this naughty speech the floor seemed to rise up and hit her in the face. The next she knew she was lying limply on s couch beside a fire and the man was kneeling beside her, chafing her small hands between his large capable ones. "Don't move," he said, when her eyelids flickered open. "Don't try to speak." "I—I fainted," she said, in dizzy wonder. "You'll be all right in a minute." "But—I never faint." "You did this time. Don't move while I get you some brandy." The moment he left the room she forced her trembling body to rise, supporting herself by a slender arm braced against an arm of the couch. The hat, bought with pride and pleasure a few days before but now a sodden, hateful thing, still clung like a leech to her head. Snatching off the ridiculous headgear, she threw it in a corner. Slipping out of the dripping coat, she let it fall to the floor. In a huge stone fireplace with a basket grate an aromatic armful of apple logs blazed and sizzled. It drew her irresistibly. She went over, with a little cry, and stretched out slim, pretty hands. In a graceful movement she flung back her head to loosen her silken curly hair. The man came in, carrying a bottle and a glass. Although he shook his head, sternly when he saw her standing up, his eyes were appreciative. Until now he had not realized how lovely she was. Her figure was enchanting. He set the bottle and glass on the mantelpiece. He pushed an easy chair nearer the fire and made her sit down. He poured a generous measure of brandy and put it in her hand. "Would you like something to eat? I'm not much of a cook but I could scramble some eggs." "No, thanks. I'm not hungry." She sipped the strong liqueur. It had a pungent flavor and warmed her like liquid fire. "I'm sorry I made such a fool of myself. You see, I seem to have been driving forever. I've been three days on the way from London. The car's been acting up all the time. It's discouraging, the way mechanics shake their heads when they peer at its innards. As if they couldn't make out how it ever runs at all." "Where are you heading for?" "Garnock." "The man looked surprised. "You certainly came the long way round. You must have left the main road about fifteen miles back." "I took the wrong fork. I never have known left from right. I was so pleased when I crossed the border from England into Scotland. I thought, well, you haven't far to go now. When I realized I was wrong, I was too stubborn to go back. But all those miles of moorland . . . and the storm. I kept expecting a tree or a telephone pole to topple over and smash into the car." "Where did you leave the car?" "About a mile down the road, to the right." "Have you got a spare tire?" "Yes . . . at least, the garage man at Doncaster called it an apology for a spare tire. But he said it might last a few miles, at a pinch." "A few miles will get you to Garnock," She half-expected him to add: "And then you'll be someone else's heartache." Instead, be said,' "I suppose you have a jack?" "Yes . . . but it won't work for me." His stern expression suggested that it had better work for him. A question trembled on her lips, you're atom here? But she did not ask it. She knew what the answer would be. She could feel for herself the unpeopled atmosphere or the place. Yes, I'm alone. But he would mean more than that. He would mean an aloneness so utter that it was a physical hurt. The aloneness of a solitary man crouched by a dying fire in a waste of snow and ice with ravenous wolves in a circle about bun where the shadows were thick. She shivered slightly. The man looked at her inquiringly and to cover her contusion, she asked for a cigarette. He brought out a half-filled pack, gave her one, and lit it for her with a silver lighter. He left the lighter and the cigarettes on a table at her elbow. The thought struck her that she ought to get in touch with her cousin. "May I use your telephone?" "I haven't got one," he answered, without hesitation. He knelt on the hearthrug to tend the fire. While his attention was engaged Deborah studied his lean jaw, the sunken, haggard eyes, the tight-lipped mouth. All his features were good but the face was that of a man starved, friendless, forsaken: Never in her life had she seen a face in repose that looked so unhappy. Something inside him was eating him alive. Some inner despair. He glanced round suddenly, as if her intent gaze scorched him, and Deborah flushed and looked away, her heart pounding. She felt a premonition. SYNOPSIS By JAMES RONALD THE MAN was about to shut the door in Deborah's face.

Morehouse Glee Club Sings At Bennett College The Morehouse College Glee Club presented its traditional post-Thanksgiving concert at Bennett College, Friday night in Pfeiffer Chapel. Directed by Wendell P. Whalum, this 40-voice group sang a program which included sacred and secular numbers, work songs and spirituals. The singers were particularly effective in their rendition of Bach's "Cum Sancto Spiritual" ("Mass in B") with organ and piano accompaniment and of the aria and final chorus from "Judas Maccabaeus" by Handel, with Cecil Bray as bass soloist. John Smith, tenor, was roundly applauded for his, singing of "A Pastoral" from the opera "Rosalinda" by Veracini and "When I Have Sung My Song." For an encore, he obliged with "Honor, Honor." The quartet sang a group of numbers, with "King Jesus Is AListening" as an encore. Closing number by the entire group was the Morehouse alma mater. Explosions Shatter Birmingham Home Two dynamite explosions shattered a Negro family's future home here Saturday, police said. The house had been purchased by Robert Greer who was asked to wait until city officials completed an inspection of the premises as required by law before he moved into the frame building. The dynamiting was one in a series which have occurred since Negroes began moving into Fountain Heights, a former all-white section. The Greer residence was virtually wrecked, police said. BOY SET 40-50 FIRES A 10-year-old boy, who wants to be a fireman when he grows up, has admitted to police that he was responsible for setting 40 to 50 fires in the past eighteen months. Damage from the fires, has been estimated at about $250,000. THREE STRIKES Don't tell E. A. Miller that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Within three minutes recently a telephone pole, a haystack and an open field, all within 100 feet of Miller's home, were hit by lightning bolts during a thunderstorm.
