Sewanee Professors Speak Out Seven Sewanee theological professors have threatened to resign their posts at the famed University of the South because it refused to admit Negroes. No entrance applications from Negroes are on file at the college, but the conscience of these men are disturbed by the ethical and religious implications of barring Negroes and have stated that the "Christian Church . . . demands essential human rights for all." Trustees of the Episcopal college decided last week not to let down the color bars. They ruled there is no "practical application of the tenet of racial equality in Sewanee's case at this time." Apparently the protesting professors felt there was. They noted the Southern synod of the Fourth Episcopal Province of the church voted last fall that Sewanee admit Negroes. It was clear to the theological professors, and they pointed out, that 10 other Episcopal seminaries in the United States had no racial restrictions. The whole question was whether Sewanee would accept the dictates of the Episcopal Church and the U. S. Supreme Court—although the latter has not ruled on segregation laws permitting Negroes and whites to attend church-sponsored schools. Noting the separation of church and state the teachers felt obligated to question whether the Episcopal connection needed instruction from the Courts to do a Christian action. The federal courts have ordered state universities to accept Negroes in graduate and technical schools. The seven theological professors have shown rare acumen and courage. They have stood forthrightly for Christian justice and human dignity. Their position should be applauded by all persons of Christian principles. It is a rare demonstration when so many right-thinking men stand up for Christian principles. The Sewanee professors have boldly stated that they would resign if the school does not reverse its position on Negro students but would stay on in any case until the 1953 spring meeting of the trustees. Noting the frailties of men, who seldom want to stand and be counted when issues of this scope and magnitude are involved, we wholeheartedly applaud this stand. The remarkable thing about the whole religious question regarding Negro students at Sewanee is that the question was raised in the South and by Southerners. It reveals with striking clarity that the broad horizon of human justice is not limited by real or imagined boundary lines. The plea for human justice and religious dignity knows no climates, zones, sections or geographical setting. It is imbedded deeply in the hearts of all men as the Sewanee professors so dramatically illustrate. The Taft-Eisenhower Contest Senator Robert Taft's pre-convention delegate steamroller appears to be gaining momentum. Taft has an impressive lead in delegate strength and his backers have the reins of the convention well in hand. Two of his supporters, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and former president. Herbert Hoover, will address the convention on successive days. This does not brood good for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and his supporters. While a majority of Republican voters may sincerely desire the nomination of Eisenhower it is possible that the blitzkreig tactics of the Taft forces may thwart their wishes. If this happens it will not be to the credit of the Republican Party and likely will break the organization into bitter factions. However, history has demonstrated that many well laid plans have gone asunder. This may happen to the Taft gusher which has struck the Republican Party. There is always the possibility of a boomerang. It could be that this will happen to Taft. The crucial test for Taft comes on the first ballot at the GOP convention. The second ballot will be even more fateful because that is when favorite sons are tossed aside. The third ballot may definitely establish a deadlock, resulting in the nomination of someone other than the two principal contenders. While a compromise candidate might win the approbation of the convention delegates it does not assure victory at the polls. That is the people's decision and protest might be registered against the GOPs by voters who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the Taft and Eisenhower battle for the nomination. GOP party forces ought to give Eisenhower a fighting chance at the convention. Ruthless tactics and corner cutting parliamentary maneuvers will not win in the end.

The Romans had a term for it —tempus fugit (time flies). It seems as if it were only yesterday when the Howard University Medical School class of 1932 were students and very much a part of the social life of Washington, which was far different from what it is today. Those were the good old days of the "What Good Are We" and the Alpha Alpha House, when prohibition was still in effect and everybody carried a hip flask to dances, and the numbers craze had dopes telephoning New York to try to get the Clearing House figures and get a bet down. They also were the day when Howard University male students were very much in demand as escorts to social affairs, and the medical students were the social lions in the upper strata. But members of the Howard Medical Class of 1932 are now sedate physicians. Some of them came back to town last week for their twentieth reunion. Among them were Dr. James Pair, who was president of the class, now a Baltimore physician; Dr. James K Smith, the brother of "Tick" Smith, one of Howard's gridiron immortals, who is practicing in Columbus, Ohio. Others were Dr. Mark Carpenter, who, besides practicing medicine, is now a big politician and runs the City of Jersey City (New Jersey); Dr. William Sinkler, director of Homer Phillips Hospital, St. Louis; Dr. James Julian, brother of Dr. Percy Julian, noted scientist, Baltimore; Dr. A. Cockburn, Brooklyn; Dr. Peter Ross, Canton Ohio; Dr. Thomas A. Williston, Dr. John Payne and Dr. James E. Walker, all of Washington. The class reunion included a visit to Jim Julian's farm outside of Baltimore fo ran all-day picnic, a dinner dance at the Washington National Airport, and a party at the Tom Willistons (Carol). Judge Herman E. Moore of the United States District Court for the Virgin Islands, who has been in Washington on official business, returned to the Islands last Thursday Dowdal Davis, general manager of the Kansas City Call and vice president of the National Newspaper Publishers Association was guest at the Statler Hotel last week. REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor Atlanta Daily World The strategy now being used by the Democrats, especially the Truman faction, is still puzzling most people. The president is still firm and strong on issues and from all indications, he will not step back on any of his platform recommendations. More than eleven weeks have passed since the President stated his position in reference to the coming election by saying that he would hot be available to run for reelection. Party members still have people confused as to whom they will nominate at the National Convention. So far, Senator Kefauver is the favorite among the Democrats with already, close to 300 delegates to his credit. His victories in New Hampshire and California have naturally added a lot of prestige to his favor. He is without a doubt a popular presidential hopeful. However, despite all of this, he still has problems within his faction to contend with. Some Northerners, who thrive on rackets and "big money", remember him from his Senate crime investigations and hold that the Senator may be a bit too tough on corruption and the "rackets" in general. The South thinks he is too liberal because of his stand on civil rights and FEPC. Primarily, because of professional jealousies, some of his fellow Senators consider him too young in the field of real politics and doubt his presidential potentialities. Nevertheless, Kefauver remains the only real hope at the moment in the Democratic party . . . that is unless Truman reconsiders and takes over the helm to run again. In the person of Senator Russell of Georgia, the Democrats have only a sectional leader and one who is now in the race, largely because he is a "favorite son." The North or East would never stoop to the leadership of a man like Russell. His whole reasoning is completely out of line with modern-day problems. So we can forget about what will happen in his case. Governor Stevenson, could be the "man" if the Democrats could get him to make up his mind. The Governor of Illinois, like Kefauver, is progressive and liberal. Liberal thinking is what we need in this day and age. Liberalism is the thing of the day because, within its scope, so many people can be included on a program designed to help the total economy of the country. Whatever the Democrats are trying to do, let's hope that a man with a liberal point of view will be nominated at the coming Convention. Ultra-conservatism is out of tune with national and international programming. We must always keep in mind that the man who is elected President of the United States must be the type of man who can represent people living outside of America.

Letter To The Editor Editor, The World, Since early times the question has arisen as to Whether or not toe leadership in chs sincerely practiced what it preached. The leadership in Rome during early times was questioned some probably with justification and others without justification. Mystery and skepticism have followed the progress of religion through the ages and probably because it was composed of human being none perfect. The church has always been with the ruling class although it is supported by the masses. When there was slavery the church condoned it, reasoning that Egypt, Rome, Greece, the greatest of nations had been built on slavery and why shouldn't America be built on slavery. When the slaves were freed the church condoned it and said man should be free. One observer said that America has more churches and less religion than a nation of its acclaimed greatmen should have. There is a school of thought that a church should do the greatest good for the greatest number. The other school of thought is that the church is a big business and therefore its a "business as usual" proposition. During slavery, and even now, many Negroes like whites who are in poverty and despair have nothing to cling to for mercy and hope but religion. It is settled that much of the church leadership is primarily interested in finance, some question the percentage. I do think this segment is too full. Religion is a thing we should not have to apologize for but rather we should believe in and reverence. If there is more criticism of church leadership now than there was a few decades ago. It might be with justification. If the criticism is with justification then the leadership itself is to be blamed. Bad leadership in the church will cause it to decline as bad leadership in any other organized institution will cause it to decline Rasputin's corrupt leadership in the Russian Orthodox Church and his leadership in the Romonoff family which was the head and leadership of the State caused it to decline. Rasputin as leader of the church caus ed many who had been devoted to stray, and shun anything he participated in In America our first professional Negroes after slavery were the preachers. They had the ears of the Negro Masses. Most of their activities then as today were sanctioned by the ruling class so it was therefore left to them to do a job. Many of the Negro Ministers in all denominations have been well educated and in position to do an exemplary job in the field of religion. The Negro Church as an institution today is just what the leaders have produced. The structure of the church if it is to be changed must be changed by the Negro leadership, or the church members must demand a better and more concise leadership as it did in the last AME General conference at Chicago. I am a life time AME and therefore feel free if I want, to refer to its short-comings as well as its greatness. The power to act as executive legislator and juror was taken at the conference. That is a step in the right direction. The Bishops in the AME Church can no longer exonerate themselves from misfeasance, Malfeasance, nonfeasance and crimes of all descriptions. The old Wilberforce University is just about what the leadership in the AME Church has made it. Wilberforce is beyond a doubt in pitiful circumstances at the present time. Especially if you consider the time effort and the money sent from various sources. There has been talk about the separation of the church from State. That was done. Henry the 8th kicked the Catholic Church out of England during his reign, but the Church of England gave the Nation about as much trouble as he had previously. It is contended by many that the church is at the Cross-road that the Church needs to mend its fences and that the leadership if it is to survive must revese its field. The church as a whole, white and black, has similar problems which are rational and public policy and custom supercedes the ten commandments and the teachings of the Bible. One writer has said tha there is more JIM CROW in progress at 11:00 a. m. every Sunday than at any other time in America Yes I say the church must mend its fences and re-dedicate itself to the original principles and rites that it vowed to follow.

Chas. H. Fisher, L. L. B. BETWEEN THE LINES Tradition has it that in the early years of the Negro's emancipation, when those godly and heroic white Yankees of the north were supporting with such vigor and sacrifice the church related schools scattered about the southland, interested persons came south. On one occasion, a speaker asked what he should tell his people at home when he returned. The late R. R. Wright, St., then a youth in school, arose and told the Yankee benefactor, "Tell them we are rising." Inspirational words if ever words were inspired. A casual glance about the nation will convince the most indifferent that the Negroes are rising in the scale of things educational and otherwise. This writer had the high privilege of witnessing commencement exercises at six leading colleges of North and South Carolina. He was commencement speaker for the graduating ceremonies at Shaw university. Shaw's past has been glorious; its present, vibrant with zeal of a substantial growth, and its future is inspiring. On the tombstone in ancient St. John's in Richmond we find this inscription: "Here lies George Wythe, first law professor in America and teacher of Randolph, Jefferson and John Marshall." George Wythe's claim to fame rested upon his having taught three great men. This writer could with equal truth predicate his claims to notice upon his having taught two of Shaw's great presidents—the indomitable Robert P. Daniels and his worthy successor, William R. Strassner. Under Dr., Strassner, Shaw is heading into an area of great things. Our next stop was at great old Benedict College where we received a doctor of laws degree. Benedict is one of the most modest of educational institutions although it has sent out some of the most useful men of the nation. Benedict sons and daughters do not go in for fanfare; but they usually deliver in their respective spheres. President Bacoats is not only a great administrator and educator, but he has proven himself a financial Houdini who can pull "financial rabbits" out of the hat. He has no equal among college presidents when it comes to making "bricks without straw." Just how he can balance a budget of nearly $400,000 a year without any strong organization to back him, easily puts him in a class by himself. Bricks without straw! We alumni of Benedict— and there are 5,000 of us—are under great obligations to President Bacoats for" what he is doing for our alma mater. His great work is a challenge to every Benedict son and daughter. They are rising everywhere to his financial rescue and that is as it should be. The commencement message by one Mr. Brown, an insurance magnate of Providence, was one of the most powerful down-to-earth addresses it has been our good fortune to hear. Through the kindness of Dr. Bacoats, the writer was enabled to attend the Morris College commencement at Sumter, S. C., where we found things stirring under the aegis of young President Reubens, a Benedict son. Upon the sagacity and breadth of his vision depend the future of Baptist education in South Carolina. President Reubens is alert to the situation and will direct the Baptist forces along constructive ways. Young Prof. Samuel Gandy of Virginia State College made a wonderful address to inspire the great audience. Here is a young moral stalwart heading in the general direction of great things. MY WEEKLY SERMON By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT (Pastor Mississippi Boulevard, Christian Church) Text: "And he arose, and came to his Father" Luke 15:20 Sunday was noted by many as "Fathers' Day." Tributes were paid father. The greatest tribute ever paid father was paid Father was paid father was paid by Jesus more than 1900 years ago. In a parable Jesus used a wonderful earthly father to portray our heavenly father. We call this parable the parable of the Prodigal Son, but the hero of this parable is that "certain man who had two sons," the father of two boys. And excellent title for this story is "the parable of the wonderful father." There are so many wonderful fathers in the world today with room in their hearts for all their children. As in the picture that Jesus drew of the wonderful father and his sons . . . the prodigal and the elder son, he drew them to his side and with his arms about both of his sons he said "there is room in my heart and my house for both of you, my sons" . . . come, join me in a feast of re-union and redemption, now and forever more. Jesus paid a tribute to fatherhood when he phrased the story of heavens divine redemption for the sons and daughters of fathers . . . It is the doctrine of God's fatherhood. May the tribe of wonderful fathers increase. May the tribe of good for nothing fathers decrease. An old song of yesteryears de scribes the decreasing tribe of lazy fathers in ludicrous phrases. "Every body works but father. He sits around all day with his feet in the fire Smoking his pipe of clay. Mother takes in washing, so does sister Ann. Every body works at my house But Ma's old man." Yes, some fathers are lazy, here and there, there may be one like a mouse. To the latter we say: Father be a man and not a mouse . . . let them know you're head of the house. To that great host of wonderful fathers, we pay tribute: May we let father know we love and appreciate his ministries of happiness, his sacrifices, his forgiveness. So often father is misunderstood. When mother sheds tears, the father's heart bleeds. He smiles as he bears the family burdens, "he laughs that he may not cry." He doesn't want his strength to be spent in un-availing tears. Your father . . . like my father . . . may have passed to the great beyond . . . somehow another I believe that when I am passing, father will be standing on the shore line of death with out-stretched arms to help me up the last western slope. May we arise from the stench and foulness of the hog pen and come to our Heavenly Father Jesus points the way. World Premiere Held At 'Skegee Tuskegee Institute has been the scene of another World Premiere for two more of the documentary film in the series of shorts on the Negro in America. These two new documentary film, "The Negro in Sports" and "The Negro in Industry," were produced by the American Newsreel Corporation of New York City, under the direction of E. M. Glucksman, and were sponsored by the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company. "The Negro in Sports" is headlined by Jesse Owens, who at one time held five world records in track. The film is a veritable parade of champions, and Owens is interviewed by Claude A. Barnett of the Associated Negro Press. Featured in this motion picture with Owens are such outstanding track stars as Harrison R. Dillard and Mai Whitfield: Jackie Robinson, Monte Irvin, Willie Mays, Roy Campanella and other baseball greats; Goose Tatum and the Harlem Globe Trotters; Joe Louis, "Sugar" Ray Robinson and the Tuskegee Institute Freshman Track Star, Mary McNabb. "The Negro in Industry" is a film report from Willard S. Townsend, International President of the United Transport Service Employees, Horace Sudduth, President of the National Negro Business League, and others who show how raceowned and operated life insurance companies, banks and savings and loan institutions are active in financing new business projects. Particularly interesting is a visit to the North Carolina Mutual Life insurance Company in Durham, N. C., and to radio station WERD in Atlanta, Georgia. Other motion pictures in the Negro in America series are "Education, Science Entertainment and National Affairs." These films were produced with the advice and counsel of a National Board of Selection, consisting of Dr. F. D Patterson, president of Tuskegee Institute; Mr. Willard Townsend, president of the United Transport Service employees, CIO; Mr. Claude A. Barnett, Director of the Associated Negro Pres; Rev. Marshall Shepard, Recorder of Deeds for the city of Philadelphia; Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Mr. William Trent, Jr., Director of the United Negro College Fund.

Succeeds In Making The Hydrogen Bomb The top congressional authority on atomic energy indicated Saturday the United States has succeeded in making the hydrogen bomb and called for its manufacture by the thousands to deter Russian aggression. WN. McMahon (D) Conn., chairman of the joint senate-house atomic committee, declared that if he were president he would direct the atomic energy commission "to manufacture Hydrogen weapons number ed in four figures." Senate GOP leader Bridges,. H., promptly critized McMahon for making such a speech to the Connecticut democratic state convention rather than in the senate "which certainly should have first claim for his knowledge in this specific field." McMahon, a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination asserted: "we are crossing the threshold of the Hydrogen era-the other members of McMahon's committee said they, did not know that the read weapon had been perfected, but they were doubtful the chairman would be calling for its all-out production unless the U. S., has a test bomb ready. Bridges said he hoped McMahon was not "over-optimistic" as he was about a year ago when he first broached the idea of a complete change-over from conventional to atomic weapons in supplying branches of the military service. Country Brown is one Atlanta ball player who has Sulphur Dell under control. In four seasons and four games on his fifth, he batted 346. In his 39 games in the Dell, he scored 31 runs, made 58 hits with four homers and 13 doubles. He batted in 25 funs. On their last 11 games road trip, the rackers went from third to first and back again to fourth place. Never a dull moment. Of 8,485 plaintiffs, 1,510 sued the federal government on death claims, approximately 988 on personal injury claims and approximately 5,987 on property damage or destruction claims. The court ruling said in part: "We are of the opinion that the proof (of the claim against the government) does not establish a case within the scope of the Federal Tort Claims Act, and that it would serve no useful purpose W remand this case for the taking of additional evidence." Persons victimized by the disaster had charged that fertilizer which exploded in two steamships, setting off the series of explosions, was handled in a negligent manner by government employees. Tuesday's decision was handed, down by Chief Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson, Jr., and circuit judges dwin R. Holmes, Wayne G. Borah, Robert L. Russell. Louie W. Strum and Richard T. Rives. NOT LIABLE FOR 560 DEATHS The U. S. District Court of Appeals Tuesday reversed a lower court ruling favoring victims of the Texas city disaster in 1947. The reversal, which upholds the federal government's appeal that It was not liable for the calamity which killed 500 people, involves 273 suits.

Of 8,485 plaintiffs, 1,510 sued the federal government on death claims, approximately 988 on personal injury claims and approximately 5,987 on property damage or destruction claims. The court ruling said in part: "We are of the opinion that the proof (of the claim against the government) does not establish a case within the scope of the Federal Tort Claims Act, and that it would serve no useful purpose W remand this case for the taking of additional evidence." Persons victimized by the disaster had charged that fertilizer which exploded in two steamships, setting off the series of explosions, was handled in a negligent manner by government employees. Tuesday's decision was handed, down by Chief Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson, Jr., and circuit judges dwin R. Holmes, Wayne G. Borah, Robert L. Russell. Louie W. Strum and Richard T. Rives.
