Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1957-08-07 Thaddeus T. Stokes Winning A Battle But Losing A War Senator Russell of Georgia along with the leadership of the Democratic Party in the Senate succeeded Thursday night in amending the pending Civil Rights Bill to require a jury trial in criminal contempt cases arising out of attempts at denial of the Negroes' right to vote. The vote was 51 to 42, with thirty-nine Democrats supporting the move and thirty-three Republicans opposing it. The Negro leadership over the nation was opposed to the amendment because it will have the effect of weakening Civil Rights as well as the federal courts. The amendment also had the opposition of President Eisenhower and the Republican Party leadership. The A. F. L. and. C. I. O. labor organization also expressed opposition to the so-called jury trial issue in contempt cases. President Eisenhower has properly criticized the action as imperiling the federal judiciary. We are aware of how the Southern Democrats feel about the court because of its school desegregation ruling, but we fail to see the justification of their action which has the effect of weakening one of the cornerstones of our government — the judiciary, legislative and judicial. It is fundamentally wrong and unsound for either of these branches to undermine or weaken the other. The Senate has not completed action on the bill which has been passed by the House of Representatives and whatever bill the Senate finally agrees on, it will be subject to agreement by a committee of both bodies. We are doubtful that agreement will be reached on this jury trial amendment. In this event, it will be clear where failure to pass a meaningful. Civil Rights Bill will rest. The record has been made and it is clear to all who can see. Senator William Knowland, Republican leader in the Senate and others who opposed the amendment have our commendation for their valiant resistance to it. Their position is sound because it is a mistake to put any judge in the position of not being able to promptly and effectively enforce his decisions, irrespective of the race aspects of this jury-trial issue. While the Democratic majority in the Senate may be winning battles in watering down and perhaps defeating Civil Rights, we believe their party will suffer as a result of this action in next year's congressional elections. And more important, the White House will be at stake in 1960. Up From Georgia With My Banjo By THOMAS JEFFERSON FLANNAGAN AUGUST BLEST FOREVER By THOMAS JEFFERSON FLANNAGAN AFRICAN ECONOMIC POWER GROWS SLOWLY The African delegation to the Moscow youth festival dipped the stars and stripes in salute to Communist party chief Nikita a Khrushchev Sunday. They got a cordial wave in return. Khrushchev, looking fit and in the pink, welcomed 30,000 youths from 78 countries to the festival in the biggest international youth extravaganza ever thrown by Russia. The party chieftain was flanked at Moscow's huge sports stadium by French Communist leader Maurice Thorez and Kliment Y. Voroshilov, chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. Voroshilov pronounced the welcoming address while Premier Nikolai Bulganin sat quietly enjoying the show from the far corner of the stadium. Two million Russians lined Moscow streets and crammed the stad ium to see the opening spectacle. Trucks carrying delegates from outer Mongolia, or the United States were indiscriminately mobbed by a mass of people shouting festival slogans: "Miry Druzhba" (peace and friendship.) Huge banners and posters took up the slogans adding as a keynote a special welcome to the African and Asian delegations. Each of the 5 000 posters fluttering from newly painted Moscow buildings featured at least one colored person. Delegates from Ghana. Nigeria and India received ovations. Most of the youths arrived in Moscow over the past three days traveling together. The leader of the Nigerian delegation declared: "The united States can never organize such a festival because they have fingerprint regulations which prevent a visit by representatives of Democratic people."

SEEING and SAYING BY WILLIAM A. FOWLKES Managing Editor — Atlanta Daily World DR. C. C. BATTLE has left Mississippi When I saw him last Spring in Indianola, capital of the Magnolia State delta region, he had his "hand on the door," so to speak. The doctor was living in day-to-day fear, since there had been reprisals against his leadership in registration and voting, enmity to the role he played in not allowing the Till murder case to escape at least the semblance of, one trial in Sumner, to his presidency of an NAACP chapter, among other things normally to be associated, with an upright, enterprising and interested young Meharry graduate. WHAT REALLY GOT Dr. Battle he says, was when they snatched his ballot from his hand and prevented him from casting his vote in the regular box in the 1956 governor's election. Battle's name was one of the "three or four" Negroes left on the purged Sunflower County voters' list. This economy spelled bad times for Negro professionals like Dr. Battle, who was just completing the five-year area practice he had promised in exchange for his Mississippi rural medicine scholarship. Some landlords dared tenants to seek his services or use them. After all, the White Citizens Councils were founded in Indianola, where their art was practiced shrewdly and thoroughly. THESE ARE serious accusations as the best prepared men of color leave their needy people "under the yoke" of an unfriendly state within our nation. Yet, Washington appears to do nothing, Dr. Battle says, about their pleas, this being solidly demonstrated in the U. S. Senate recently.

Although, they had lived near each other in the same country, perhaps, the same town, an artificial world of race stood between them. "We would never have met except through the movement of Moral Re-Armament," the young white man of 24 said. A stocky, highly articulate man of calm temperament bowed his approval. They came from the Union of South Africa, a white man and a native African, who until they met MRA had lived in two different worlds. The native African was of Zulu background whose countrymen are being-pushed into segregated areas by the Nationalist Government of his country. The young white man is of Dutch descent, Boer background. His forebears settled at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa in 1652. For generations, they have tilled the soil and fought the natives. It is quite likely, that the forebears of the native African and the young Boer could have met on opposite lines, in the famous battle of the Axe during the early 18th century when clashes between natives and white men were frequent. But to look at the two men, the African, who had risen to the position of a medical doctor, and the young white man, a leader of more than 14,000 students in. South Africa, one could sense no trace of bitterness, no haired or prejudice based on race and color. Moreover, there existed a radiant gleam of friendship and respect, which they said in their ownwords, "come about through the contact with Moral Re-Armament." More than 14 different countries of Africa were represented in the group which recently came South. It was more like the United Nations transplanted in Southern territory. Asia and Europe were also represented. From the latter, each had experienced imperialism; some call it colonialism. Those who had accepted the new ideology had pulled themselves above the level of greed and the concept of white supremacy. The sting of slavery had left no mark of revenge on their brow. There was the man from Algeria, one from Morocco, India, even Kenya grieving at the faults of "bigotry which tear at men's souls and tear countries apart. They were grieved at the slowness of man to accept an ideology, not necessarily new, but whose roots are in the Ten Commandments. Its meaning rests firmly in the words of the "Sermon on the Mount". Bloodshed, war and greed did not bring this group together. It was a spark that set forth a revolution in the souls of men.

Public Health Service Warns Of Flu Epidemic The Public Health Service warned Thursday the new Asian flu virus may trigger a nation-wide epidemic this fall or winter, hitting 17 to 34 million Americans and causing "serious consequences for our economy." U. S. Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney said President Eisenhower has been "notified of the situaBurney sounded the warning at a News Conference following announcement that first civilian vaccinations against the Asian flu can begin in mid-September. Burney estimated there would be enough vaccine available by mid-October to give shots to the estimated 12 million specialists throughout the nation in medicine transportation, utilities, communication, law enforcement and "other essential functions" needed to keep the country going. Burney also stressed that there have been only three deaths in the 11,000 cases of Asian flu so far reported in the U.S. this is a death rate much lower than the toll taken when the new virus swept the far East this Spring. None of the wonder drugs were available, in the 1918-19 epidemic, Which claimed 20,000,000 lives— 548,000 of them in the U. S. The PHS and the American Medical Association are developing an emergency plan for mobilizing hos pital facilities. Some shots will be set aside for protecting nurses and doctors so that they can treat possible epidemic victims. Top priority for shots will also be given to "those needed to maintain essential functions," such as firemen, policemen and key workers in food supplies, transportation, utilities and city services. The public will be informed on the nature of the disease and what they can do to minimize its effects. In this connection in noted the Asian flu is marked by temperatures of 102 to 104 degrees, headache, sore throat, cough and muscle aches. The fever lasts three to five days, followed by weakness for several more days. Health experts consider complete confinement to bed the best way to aid the individual's own recovery and keep him from infecting others.

According to "Southern School News", this brings to 694 the number of districts already desegregated and to 712 the number desegregated or planning such a move in September. Some 3,000 districts remain segregated. In key court decisions during July, the paper reported, the Fourth Circuit Court sustained a ruling against Virginia's pupil placement act, and the schools of Dallas, Texas were ordered to desegregate, but at no specific time. A suit against Florida's placement act was dismissed while the Fifth Circuit Court ruled against a lower court which dismissed a desegregation suit in Dade (Miami) County. A federal distract judge in Delaware, in the first decision of its kind, ordered wholesale desegregation of segregated schools in the state. The state of Mississippi reported difficulty in floating school bonds, as did the university system of Georgia, where the state auditor blamed the "segregation bugaboo."

Citizens attended council meeting last Thursday and asked that the film be banned because of the racial plot. City Atty. Atlee Harris and Mayor Price explained that the council could not officially ban the film. However, they could request the theatre manager not to show it. In the past West Memphis has shown films after they have been banned by Memphis' Board of Censors. Memphis gave the "kiss-of-death" to the film. Reason given by the four censors who viewed the color film was that it portrayed "obvious" interracial romance between Joan Fontaine and Harry Bellefonte as well as between Dorothy Dandridge and John Justin. Setting for the Cinema-Scope is West Indies Islands. After turning "thumbs-down" on the movies, the Memphis Censors termed the film "inflammatory" and went on to accuse the film of being too obvious about the interracial romances. And it was distasteful to the moran standards The board also agreed that It would not be good for. Negroes or whites to see the film. Mrs. B. F. Edwards is chairman of the Censor Board.

Dr. King Slaps Polls In Dealing With Human Rights Dr. Martin Luther King, Montgomery, A a, civil rights crusader warned that man may begetting too smart for his own good "We can boast of having made a neighborhood of the world, but we cannot claim the establishment of brotherhood among its people," he said in a sermon at Cornerstone Baptist Church, last Sunday. More than 2500 persons heard his torrid blast against what he described as man's subjugation of moral laws to physical laws In his dealing with his brother. "Today too many have adopted the conception that right and wrong are merely relative to our likes or dislikes. We decided how to act by a sort of 'Gallup poll' with a kind of an everybody's doing it attitude, or a just a matter of custom excuse," the youthful leader stated. Others, the 1951 Spingarn medalist said, have assumed a sort of get by test for right and wrong survival of the slickest. They have set up an 11th commandment "Thou shall not get caught." Dr. King warned that the world and America must rediscover the principles of the worth and sacred ness of human personality. "God does not want us to treat our brothers as a means to an and", he cautioned. "History has shown that nations which have done so have failed and faded into oblivion." In his opinion, he said he felt that with all the faults that exist, if we continue to work and pray, we will see a new South arise in which all will live together in peace and dignity. Dr. Sandy F. Ray, host pastor and president of the New York Baptists, praised the courageous leadership of Dr. King in the campaign for complete Democracy in America. Dr. King accepted the invitation of the president of the National Baptist Laymen's Movement, Allen Jordan, to address the laymen September 4 during the National Baptist Convention session in Louis ville.

Speaking in Europe, Powell said "The behind the scenes ultimatum of the West Indian Delegation in London to the United States to evacuate the Trinidad Airbase is due to an extent to the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act as I previously predicted." Powell added: "I now suggest that the United States offer to build capital and thereby keep the base." MY WEEKLY SERMON REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH A little girl of five years went with me to a white drug store in which I was to make a purchase. A soda fountain With revolving stools in front was in this store. Several of these revolving stools were occupied by little ones of the white race. They were whirling around like a merry go round. My little Carol joined the group and began whirling around on one Of the stools. I called: "Carol, come to me" and added "don't do that." Carol replied, "why can't I spin like those other children?" It was a question of deep significance; I couldn't answer it satisfactorily. I too, wondered "why can't she?" Throughout America today my people are asking "why can't I; why can't I sit there,, play there, ride there, read there, live there?" Because they can't two great tragic, emotions are being created and stimulated: Fear and hate. In this period of tantrums and tears, frustration and fear, hypocrisy and hate, we beg to convey a brief message concerning hate the antipathy of love. We know "all God's chillun got wings" and have a right to fly any where in God's Kingdom. When denied the God given rights the bitter fruits of fear and hate are produced. But we can't afford to hate. To hate is not the Jesus way of life. May I give a brief word picture of the Jesus way? The place is a hill called Calvary. Three men are suffering ignominous death by the excruciating ordeal of crucifixion. Two are robbers; the third, hanging on cross between them, is a young Galilean prophet, who spoke as never man spoke, and who went about doing good.

At the foot of the, cross, a motley crowd jeered and-flung obscene words in Jesus' face. His body was covered with stripes and wales and welts. His pain tortured body is aquiver with suffering. Through swollen lips Jesus speaks: "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." When we find we can't do this and that, can't go here and there neither ride, play, read, nor study here and there. Don't give, way to fear or hate.' They do not know they are crucifying Jesus Christ afresh and laying to open shame in the eyes of a hostile world, the fair name of America. Let us remember "the mills of God grind slowly but surely." Remember that vengeance is God's. Remember God is keeping watch above his own. Remember the words of Booker Washington "I'll' let no man drag my soul down to hatred" and Dawson's words "don't get mad, get smart" Above all remember Jesus who said in words and practice "Pray for them." Don't give way to hate. When all else fails love wins and God is love. God's program will be carried out and the question "why can't I?" will be erased from the lips of every little child.
