The Glory Of Autumn The poet William Cullen Bryant once wrote upon such an occasion—"The Melancholy Days are here" and he called them "the saddest of the year." But this would not hold here in our Deep South vintage of changing crops when there is some kind of green all the year 'round, and when falls the frost on "those melancholy days" of the poet's New England, we have the colorful tapestries of the woodland dell where the oak in its glamour of gold stands beside the pine and the cedar in their blue cloaks which neither fade nor famish. There are the rich aromas of ripe grain and the ripening grapes and dimpled apples. The corn stack offers to the poet the temptation of nostalgic flavor which also makes the fingers of the artist itch for that expression in the likeness of real nature what the seasons have done in orderly routine. Yes, there are the white lanes of cotton, the spread of the peanut vines and the last call of the leaves. We come into autumnal beauty through the seasons of the year to find ourselves nearing Thanksgiving and then the Yuletide. Also there are in the South many flowers in bloom at this season of the year and while the roses and many of her sisters flee these parts, there are the winter pinks, the dahlias and little Brown-eyed Susans to cheer humanity along this way. So, we come to the days of autumnal glory; the harvesttide and the huntsmen's joy. This is a land of delight; one in which dearly every week brings along a couple of summer days. We hall these days of Indian Summer with pride; we love their autumnal beauty and we praise it. The Strange Missionary Spirit Of The United Nations The darker races of the earth-and those from its uttermost end are saying to the world that "we have faith in civilization; we have faith in organized democracy and that we expect to be accounted for in this stewardship of the divisions of the spoils M government, in the participation of its deliberations and the protection of all those, irrespective of their flags or religious beliefs, whose lot is the divine chosen identity of colored skins." Around, the council tables, on forums and in summits they are seen where arbitration sits and at the days go by even in the home of the U.N. where the shore is dimly seen, the import of the faith of our fathers makes itself manifest. Nation after nation in the darker clime of Africa are coming into the realization of their freedom. Time calls her own roll and we hear in varied tongues the answer of present for Nehru of India, Nkrumah of Ghana, Nassar of the U.A.R., Sukarno of Indonesia. Though these come from other than African soil, nevertheless they are proud o belong to the colored group now making such an emphasis on questions touching the destinies of the land. Together these men were among the undisputed five of all the neutrals of the U.N.; together they represented most of the vital areas of the globe. Men so cautiously and strategically placed in those pivotal sections where nerve centers can be reached that will leave out no portion of the globe, could move the world. Where one man is enslaved, no man is free. It is the strange workings of fate that the earth is on its way of liberation through the complete emancipation of darker peoples. The U.N., if it does nothing else, has made a powerful contribution to the cause of the American Negro, so late in being fully accepted into the bonds of honorable citizenship. The missionary spirit of free countries points the ways of peace, equality before the law and mutual fellowship. More Grist For The Two Party Mill Something quite significant and of interest to every real believer in free government and the rule of a two-party system, would be that both the Republican and Democratic candidates for the Presidency have come to Georgia, shook hands and made speeches and departed. Vice President Richard Nixon possibly set the pace. He Was the first to cast anchor out at Hurt Park where he was greeted by the Mayor and high functionaries of both parties and the general citizenry. Top Democrats took part in the huge celebration which hailed the Vice President, promising to support his candidacy. Now, it came to pass that Candidate John Fitzgerald Kennedy took up the challenge and chose for this historic setting of precedent breaking, the Little White House." Warm Springs, Ga., made famous by FDR and where he died a half generation ago. The being regarded as "hallowed ground" for so many polio patterns have also been successfully treated, a handsome turn-out was accorded Candidate Kennedy. What is of greater interest is the fact that Georgia has come into a new light in that contenders for the Presidency are deciding to do what other contenders have not done, the taking of Georgia seriously. Now, those who have across the decades bade for a twoparty system did not so soon expect to see the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties coming around to bid for their votes. While Georgia has always gone Democratic, this is a sign in the air that even so, it cannot long be taken for granted. Maybe this year the state will break its record and go for Nixon and Lodge. When an arrangement is set up where one cannot be safely taken in for granted, there is an occasion suggesting that such a one be bargained with. Only through such a media can this section come into a two-party order, with the freedom of elections taking the wind out of the primaries ing from United States Senator down to community dog-cance the foundation of the state. Golden Gleams Jests and scoffs do lessen majesty and greatness, and should be far from great personages and men of wisdom. —Henry Peacham. * * * There is no finish line anywhere in the race for liberty. It is a race our ancestors started, and our heirs will be running long after. —Lowell Mason Dentist Gives publican administration were much larger than ever before in history. For example, here in Memphis instead of a handful of Negro census takers there were almost 200 Negroes who received a total of $55, 000 00. Negroes have been appointed to top level jobs above the mop and broom level in Government. For example, a Memphis Negro has served as member and chairman of the Federal Parole Board and as Federal District Judge of the United States Customs Court with a 25,500 annual salary. White collar jobs for Negroes have increased, as much as 50 percent in some areas. The national republican administration, through Vice-President Nixon's Committee on Presidential Contracts, a voluntary FEPC, without powers from the democratic congress have made tremendous strides in securing employment for Negroes in traditional "white jobs" which generally pay more. Peaceable sit-in demonstrations, coupled with Vice-President. Nixon meeting with the owners of 69 chain stores have succeeded in opening lunch counters to all customers in many southern communities (e. g. Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn.) Integration in the armed forces completed by the Eisenhower-Nixon Administration. Republican Liberial appointed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court persuades court to rule against outmolded laws of segregation of schools, public transportation and public facilities. The Justice Department has filed Civil Rights actions against many individuals and communities in the south where it was sorely needed (e. g Fayette County, Biloxi, Mississippi, several counties in Louisiana). Point to remember here is whether a democratic administration would embarrass members of its own party in the south by filing suite against them? Truly Negroes have had more civil rights progress in the past eight republican years than in the preceding 80. Civil rights progress has been made with massive opposition from local and state democrats. Must we vote in National elections for the party that oppresses us? For a party that we have to sue; sit-in, picket against, boycott against, vote against, to secure our God-given and constitutional rights? Remember the endorsement of many prominent Negroes for the Republican nominees; Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive secretary's endorsement for Henry Cabot Lodge has already, been mentioned. The National Negro Lawyers Association endorsed the Nixon-Lodge ticket. A Phillip Randolp, National Negro Labor, Union Leader refused to enrose the democrat ticket with other white labor union leaders.

Pirates kees taking away all the reports and the battling Bucs setting for the gold and the glory. It was a day of power display in the warm sunshine and late, fail haze with Rocky Nelson swatting a first inning homer for the Bucs; Bill Skowron blasting one for the Yanks in the fifth with nobody aboard; Yogi Berra hitting a "body english" blast in the sixth with two on to shoot the Yankees out in front, and Pirate Hal Smith socking one in the eighth with two on base to jump the Pirates out in front. Mazeroski's came later - after the Yankees had tied it up in the top of the ninth - arching over the wall to give little Harvey Haddix his second triumph in this World Series. When it was all over - with the Yankees using five pitchers and the Pirates sending four to the mound — the Yankees had the dubious solace of having bombed two new records into the books with a total of 5 runs and 91 hits. But when it came down to the final analysis the biggest hit of them all was that homer by Mazeroski — who had hit one in the opening game and then saved his second until the final second of this sudden death seventh game.

Copyright © 1959, by William Pearson, Distributed by King Features Syndicate. U. S. Senator Alex Simon asked District Attorney Dan Callahan; "Defer to this old man Dan. I don't want a primary battle. I want to come home as Governor." Callahan is confident that his role in the upcoming Hart murder trial will bring him the necessary public support to win the election. Simon proposes to have Callahan made U.S. Senator. Callahan rejects the deal "What are you promising the others?" Simon's promise of a Federal judgeship to Dan's home-town rival for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Judge Sam Hoffman, has a string attached to it: the Judge must declare a mistrial in the Hart trial and prevent Callahan from making political capital of the case. LEAVING the District Attorney's office at eight, Dan Callahan ate a leisurely supper and took a taxi to his meeting with Matt Keenan, the publisher of the Rowton The publisher, to his early sixties, had been in the newspaper business all his working life except for wartime service as a top Washington official of the OSS. A year ago the owners of the had hired him to run their paper, the state's largest, giving him, in the bargain, a free hand in matters of editorial policy. He was a large hard-driving man with mustard-yellow hair, a face as tough and leathery as an old whaler's, and a voice that resembled a sea Mon's attention-commanding bark. Near the end of this meeting at which the publisher and the District Attorney formalized their alliance, Keenan said, "Simon in the statehouse would set us back fifty years, What does that senile witless wonder know about the Hydrogen Age, what's be care if we're sitting oh TNT?" Callahan's booming laugh rocked the room. "Matt, we see eye to eye." "I hope we do." Keenan rumbled like an old volcano on good behavior between eruptions. "Because I think Simon's voted wrong, when he's voted at all, on every issue confronting the country since he's been to the Senate. But in the Senate, at least, there are ninety-plus other talking machines to shout him down. Heaven only knows what damage he'd do sitting behind the Governor's desk!" The publisher snorted contemptuously. "And for that matter, how the devil did we get our present Governor? They swore on the Bible before I moved here that Republicans never won the governorship." "The Democrats had a rough family squabble two years ago." "Well, all I want from you is a promise to do a job when you get to the statehouse You've done a pretty fair one cleaning up Rowton, and maybe you'll be able to do the same thing for the state." "Matt," Callahan said, "that efnenes my faith in you! We'll work well together." "I've heard that song before too. At least we're both alumni of the OSS, whatever that proves." His eyes dropped to Callahan's artificial leg. "How'd you lose your leg in Italy?' Let's skip that one. I'm tired of people who campaign on war records." "A modest hero, yet! I'll let you have my statehouse reporter for a couple of months. Phil knows his way around." Callahan grinned, but his jowla took a harder set. "No, you wont Let's get the ground rules straight. You aren't going to run me, you aren't going to run my campaign." Keenan looked up sharply, "You're tougher than I thought." Then he laughed, the sound like that of a battered cement-mixer tumbling sand and gravel. "Well, the devil knows we need a tough man in the statehouse!" * * * In the slow-moving cortege behind the District Attorneys limousine was a green MG, driven, by his assistant prosecutor. Bob Vinquist. With him was Polly Hoffman, covering old Judge Guffay's funeral in her capacity as a reporter. Leaning forward to light a cigarette, Sam Hoffman's daughter said, "But I do quite like Mr. Keenan. In spite of his profanity, which I suspect is a pose." "So you've decided to forgive him for backing Dan?" Bob said. "Oh, I'm not as hostile to Dan as I sometimes sound. In fact, he has a certain charm. He has that kind of rumpled look women always find attractive. Like a young. Carl Sandburg with more meat on the bones." Bob laughed. "I guess we can count on the women's vote." "I guess you can. Glory be to the Nineteenth Amendment. Glory be to many things. Glory be to hot dogs, Indian headdresses, and steel guitars. What would candidates do without them? They might even have to run or issues, and that would be a deadly day." She sat back now, watching the men in the ca ahead. "But I still think Dan's trying to use you ... your money." "I never escape that, do I? Well maybe I'm using him too, It would be nice to think I could accomplish what I want to accomplish on my own, but I'm learning, I think, to accept the fact that another man's coattails sometimes give you a longer ride." "Yes, even Caesar must have had a sponsor." He looked over at her quickly but there was neither sarcasm nor malice in the glance she returned. "Okay," he said, "so I don't have to worry about earning a living. But I'll be damned if I want to sit around doing nothing. In politics, in government, I can at least try to put my time to a useful purpose. And is it a crime do you have to apologize for wanting to help people?" "You don't have to be in poli tics to help people. You could just give all your money to the, poor. He smiled slightly. "You're a pillar of strength today, Polly." "It was a title glib, wasn't it? I'm sorry, Bob, but nobility always gets under my skin. Every politician I've ever known, including Dad, talks nobility. I love my father, but I do get tired of speeches." She grimaced. "I seem to be making a speech myself. But I've seen what happens to men who run for office. They seem to lose the visions, the intentions, they had when they started." "That's a pretty broad generalization, Miss Hoffman. But if it's any consolation, we don't have to worry about its happening to me." She laughed. "Now that can't be meant to be as priggish as it sounds." "God, I hope no. What I meant was, I wouldn't ever be running for elective office in the first place." "What about this gubernatorial campaign of Dan's? What kind of role do you expect to have in it?" "Any one he gives me. If I had my choice, I'd like to be his campaign manager. I don't want much, do I? Just the moon." "But why should Dan give you that particular honor—or is 'honor' the right word? What experience have you had? How could you get the old pros to follow your hunches, your instructions?" "That's why Dan won't give me the job." "he might. Why do you think, really, he's using you as his assistant in this Hart murder case? How many murder cases have you tried? Why isn't he using one of his more experienced assistants?" But the outburst's childish petulance appalled him and he made an awkward attempt to take her hand. "That was a stupid thing to say." She immediately moved closer, regarding him with a mixture of tenderness and amusement. "Sometimes you get such an intense, comic serious look. Like a small boy who's been caught robbing his p'ggy bank." He made a vague gesture of acknowledgment. Was part of his defensiveness with Polly, he wondered, the fact that he had no way of knowing how much any affection she might have for him was also influenced by that same long shadow of money? Then, shocked by the meanness of such suspicion, guiltily contrite, he said. "Yes, I've always been told that I appeal to the maternal instinct." "You appeal, you appeal. But no just maternally." Her blue eyes challenged him briefly before she said. "Now, though, let's go bury Judge Guffay. I never met him but I think we him at least this moment."

"Now that can't be meant to be as priggish as it sounds." "God, I hope no. What I meant was, I wouldn't ever be running for elective office in the first place." "What about this gubernatorial campaign of Dan's? What kind of role do you expect to have in it?" "Any one he gives me. If I had my choice, I'd like to be his campaign manager. I don't want much, do I? Just the moon." "But why should Dan give you that particular honor—or is 'honor' the right word? What experience have you had? How could you get the old pros to follow your hunches, your instructions?" "That's why Dan won't give me the job." "he might. Why do you think, really, he's using you as his assistant in this Hart murder case? How many murder cases have you tried? Why isn't he using one of his more experienced assistants?" But the outburst's childish petulance appalled him and he made an awkward attempt to take her hand. "That was a stupid thing to say." She immediately moved closer, regarding him with a mixture of tenderness and amusement. "Sometimes you get such an intense, comic serious look. Like a small boy who's been caught robbing his p'ggy bank." He made a vague gesture of acknowledgment. Was part of his defensiveness with Polly, he wondered, the fact that he had no way of knowing how much any affection she might have for him was also influenced by that same long shadow of money? Then, shocked by the meanness of such suspicion, guiltily contrite, he said. "Yes, I've always been told that I appeal to the maternal instinct." "You appeal, you appeal. But no just maternally." Her blue eyes challenged him briefly before she said. "Now, though, let's go bury Judge Guffay. I never met him but I think we him at least this moment."

The speaker debunked the, longheld theme that the Republicans have no interest in the common man, pointing to the contributions of the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations to education, research and furnishing of many facilities for Negroes throughout the United Stated and the world. He said such contributions had not started just through Republicans who built and helped keep the great Negro private colleges and universities. Washington noted no such contributions from another foundation, "until a prominent member of the family became a candidate for President of the United States." The Lyndon Johnson record of voting against every civil rights bill that came before him, "until he became a candidate for President of the United States later," was referred to by the speaker. "The Eisenhower Administration is the first Administration in 80 years to offer a Civil Rights Bill as MUST legislation. If the two to one Democrat Congress wants to take credit for passing these two Administration sponsored bills then they must also take credit for extracting the teeth from them. And they must be charged with demogogic quackery by placing the teeth which thy extracted on display in their platform," Mr. Washington continued. "We have the best balanced ticket, offered to the American people in modern times in Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge. They are not only competent, respected, hard working and efficient men, but they have had wide experience in both domestic and world fairs ... Our candidates for President and Vice President not only respect us, but also have the highest regard for the darker peoples of the world and are sincecery interested in the advancement of the nations of Africa and the Far East."

Central State Is Ahead Of All Ohio Schools Averages After four undefeated contests, Central State College of Wilberforce, Ohio is leading all 25 of Ohio's top - rated college grid elevens in both offense and defense. The Marauders have racked up an average of 34.8 points per game against Norfolk State, West Virginia State Wheaton (Ill.), and N. E. Missouri, State. The four opponents have succeeded in crossing m Maroon and Gold cross-stripes for a mere average of 3.5 points per game. To add fire to the contention that Jim" Walker has come up with a powerhouse this year, the Marauders have allowed only 89.5 yards per-game rushing and an even skimpier 43.25 yds per game through the air. On the offensive side of this picture, the Walker charges have steamrolled to 288 yds-per game rushing and 95.25 via the airways. The CSC secondary has pilfered seven of their opponents passes, but quarterbacks Ken Waters and Jams Harper have had none of their tosses pulled in by the enemy. In the Ohio ratings, such stalwarts as Ohio State. Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Ohio University and Miami trail the rampaging Maroon and Gold by as much as 90 offensive points. In recent ratings, (small colleges), Central State has appeared in the top ten of both the NCAA (3) and the N. A. I. A. (I). In the coming homecoming tilt against the Kentucky State college spoilers. Coach Walker will be trying desperately to maintain his grip on the top spot in the ratings. A valuable asset in this effort will be his backfield of Moses Hamton (8.8 yds per carry); Washington Guyton, (10.1 yds per carry); and Murvin Mitchell (7.3 yds per carry). It is significant to note that second string quarterback Harper shows up in the scoring column with three TD's via the ground route and one through the air. MY WEEKLY SERMON By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Victor Hugo relates an experience that teaches a great moral and spiritual lesson. He noticed a number of dead bees lying on the floor of his study. The bees had come in through an open window. When the windows were closed, they found themselves prisoners. Unable to see the transparent glass of the closed windows, they had hurled themselves against the glass window panes, until at last they fell on the floor exhausted and died. Hugo noticed among the bees a large male bee, stronger and larger than any of the dead bees. He was very much alive and was dashing himself against the window panes with all his might. Hugo threw open the window, and by means of his handkerchief, began chasing the huge bee toward the open window; but the bee persisted to flying in the opposite, direction. He then tried to capture it by throwing his handkerchief over it. But the poor bee, did not understand that Hugo was his providence endeavoring to release him from his prison. The bee lost his head and dashed himself again and again against the panes of the closed windows. Hugo finally captured the bee with his handkerchief. He involuntarily hurt the poor bee. The bee darted out its stings and strained his body trying for a release from the handkerchief. Then Hugo stretched his arm out the open window, opened his handkerchief; then it was the bee took its flight into the infinite. Hugo was the bee's providence. God is our providence. Like the bee protesting the efforts of Hugo, we protest the efforts of God. We buck God, like Paul we kick against the prick. We see only our petty selfish designs. We break our heads against invisible obstacles. We bite and sting the hand that provides for us. We grumble, we fret, we complain, while God all the time is trying to make us as he would have us be. We refuse to say "have thine own way Lord, you are the potter, we are the clay." We just can't see that in punishing us in chastening us, in scourging us. God is endeavoring to make us and to deliver us from ourselves. God is doing all this to us that we might fly in the greatness of God. At the end of life's journey, as Hugo's handkerchief enveloped the imprisoned, rebellious bee, so God will nave the ravages of disease and the agency of time or what we call an accident to envelope our lives that our souls might be liberated from this mud house, our bodies in which we live. "My son despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction; for whom the Lord loves he corrects." This is providence. PROVIDENCE By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD.

Independence Of Nigeria Hailed United States Representative Charles C. Diggs, Jr., Vice chairman of the U.S. House of Representaties Subcommittee on African Affairs, said here last week that "following the U.S. elections next November, our subcommittee on African affairs is sending a special study group to West Africa, and to nations of East-Central Africa-to determine ways and means to further extend United States-African cooperation." The group, he said, would be made up of members of the U.S. House of Representatives. He also announced," on my return to the United States following Nigerian independence celebration. I will call the attention of private U. S. business and industrial groups to the outstanding investment opportunities in Nigeria, and the favorable climate for investments existing here." Commenting on Nigerian independence and its impact abroad, Diggs said; "What is taking place in Nigeria is extremely inspirational to other African peoples and states, because of Nigeria's orderly transition to independence, its pattern of stability, and its quality of leadership. I know there is an extremely favorable reaction in the United States to Nigerian independence — and this favorable reaction will be translated into accelerated assistance by U. S. governmental and private groups in developing Nigeria economically and socially." The U. S. Representative said he is "one of the Afro - Americans in the United States Congress, and I have an interest reflected in 20 mil lion Americans of African decent who look to Africa for inspiration." In Nigeria, he said, he found a reservoir of goodwill toward the United States stemming in part from the many outstanding Nigerian educated in America. This will develop further after independence, and I foresee a long and happy partnership between independent Nigeria and the United States."
