Eisenhower Many political observers, who are acquainted with the American technique, ascribe General Eisenhower's popularity to the fact that it is not generally known what the General stands for; that once this is out, his popularity will, diminish, While this may be true, it might not stand to reason that he will lose much popularity. While, much of his major life has been spent in the army, that life in itself shuts off much of The real measure of a man when it comes to politics. Sometimes a man can be weighed to an extent by his following. As has been said of Senator Russell, who is making a bid for the Democratic nomination," while-he is not a Dixiecrat the Dixiecrats are following him." The well known Lodge tradition of proud New England, the cradle of tolerance and high thinking, can be trusted. For generations there have come from this section; and school of thinking, great men who have become the salt of Democracy all over the world. From here poured out the stream of life blood of the finest generation of New England on a thousand battlefields when ambitious and designing ones sought to rend apart this nation. Against great odds and through bitter hardships, many of them just out of college, gave their lives for the salvation of the Union and soon the world and time will forget what these sainted dead did for civilization. Had the Union been lost, all would have been lost. The world would have long ago fallen ripe and rotten into the basket of totalitarianism. It is widely, known that General Eisenhower could have chosen either party for his affiliation; he possibly could have gotten the Democratic nomination by choice, and the election by default, but he chose to line up with the Republican party; the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and in that tradition and atmosphere the General moves. With his experience on foreign fields his knowledge of world problems and his acute adaptability to these changing times he might be the man of the hour. We will stand by and see what the General will make of one of the finest opportunities that ever came to an American since the days of General William T. Sherman. The Colored Vote In 1952 there will be 20 states with a total of 348 electoral votes. In each of these states, colored voters represent a balance of power. As 266 electoral votes are required to elect a president, it will be seen that those states are of more than ordinary importance. And it is worth noting that those states include Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. It must also be understood that, in order for this balance of power to be effective, colored voters must vote as a race bloc. Colored bloc voting does not seem to be in favor with colored journal's and colored leaders; so that if the advice of our leaders and journals not to vote in a race bloc is followed, the potentiality of the colored vote will not make a material difference. It will be well for any candidate to understand that colored citizens most certainly will not support a candidate who, by example or tradition, is a Dixiecrat or who allies himself with Dixiecrats in order to win votes or who opposes the policies and programs of liberal American democracy. Due to the fact that neither President Truman nor Governor Stevenson will accept the nomination if offered, colored Democrats find themselves in the difficult position of having no one around whom they may intelligently rally. Of course this situation may change and probably will change before or during the national convention. It would be meaningless folly for colored leaders and voters to attempt to rally to the support or even attempt to rally to the support of a man not in favor of the political, economic, and administrative principles and realities of deep concern to colored people as well as to other people interested in liberal and realistic democratic government and American democratic processes. Our voting problem is therefore grave when those whom we might support with intelligent enthusiasm have announced themselves not available at this time. Baseball Gives Democracy a Chance Democracy was given a chance here last week to work, and it worked just like the history book said it would. The occasion was a major league contest between the Chicago White Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the first time in baseball history, two Cuban Negroes, Orestes Minoso and Hector Rodriguez, along with their white team mates played against an all-white team in New Orleans. Orleanians took this glittering exemplification of democracy in action in its stride. Their constant applause during the contest, refuted the dire prediction, made by some, if white teams with Negro players were booked, there would be trouble. New Orleans is possibly the last major city in the deep south to witness Negro players in action with major league teams. Dallas, Houston, Miami, Shreveport, Atlanta, Mobile, have all preceded New Orleans in welcoming major league teams with Negro players. New Orleans, which constantly boasts of being a cosmopolitan city, has finally joined the ranks of the above mentioned progressive cities, when it should have been among the leaders. We hope that the indication of giving democracy a chance to work will be carried over into other major sports activities especially the Sugar Bowl program. With the tremendous industrial expansion and growth of this city, there is a possibility, with the new indicated outlook, this city can become the sports capital of the South, or perhaps, the nation. Emperor Haile Selassie's Bus Emperor Haile Selassie, of Ethiopia, will give America some free advertising in his country when he begins to use a custombuilt maroon-trailer to transport his family around Ethiopia. The 9,999-pound vehicle, bearing the crest of the Ethiopian ruler, having many luxuriously equipped features, was recently loaded aboard a ship in New York destined for Ethiopia. The vehicle reportedly cost $25,000, accommodates a party of four with all the modern conveniences, contains a living room, bedroom with sleeping accommodations for four, kitchen quarters dhd a bathroom. It features six blow-out proof tires and a seven cubic-foot refrigerator, stove, box-spring mattresses and deluxe plumbing and heating units. The appearance of this contraption in Ethiopia will probably be worth the equivalent of many thousands of dollars spent in propaganda, aimed at Ethiopian citizens. American gadgets and mechanization are our best propaganda. REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor Atlanta Dally World It is without question that when people are brought closer together on matters dealing with their problems and conditions in various communities, they become more inclined to respect each other and give vent to the other man's point of view. When people are constantly shifted apart and are not allowed to discuss or view the problems common to all corncerned, the distance between races, nationalities and groups, tends to widen. This, of course brings on misunderstanding, resulting from conflicting circumstances and natural feelings, growing out of not knowing what the other fellow is like or what he wants or does not want. This point is clearly brought out in a question and answer series-published in the May issue of McCall's magazine, the former First Lady is asked several questions on various topics. However, the one which commands most interest reads thus: "My grandson says that the French attitude toward Negroes is completely different from burs. Have you found this to be true? If so, how do you explain it?" Mrs. Roosevelt's answer came with all the sound and logical reasoning found in most of her statements on the race problem. She was not reluctant to say that the youngster was telling the truth while strongly emphasizing that in Paris there is no color line. Mrs. Roosevelt said that the Negro is received in the same manner as whites, totally without discrimination when it comes to the things all human beings are entitled to under the Constitution. She went on to say that for generations, people from North Africa, India, Egypt and the Near East have been frequent visitors to France. They have been close to each other for generations and are acquainted with the problems each might possess. Aside from visiting each other and maintaining a common purpose these people have wanted to get along with each other. They have promoted a program and backed the idea of "brotherhood" from the very beginning. This has not been altogether true in our country. There has long existed various hate movements, which have served as counter measures against goodwill and brotherhood. These movements, while they may not, have had the backing of the law, have been left to exploit and hamper the progress of minorities. Through such movements, hate and prejudice have been allowed to progress and survive. Consequently, when it comes to making a comparison, the difference is great and will continue to be great, until people come together as human beings and work for those things which will promote the common good for all mankind.

THE WORLD HEALTH FORUM By R. EARL BUND, M. D. A cough may be good or bad, deprovided this reflex to prevent chokConstant hacking, associated with bronchitis is annoying, whereas cough is a blessing when "something goes down the wrong" Nature has provided this reflex t prevent choking by removing any foreign body that enters the trachea. One of my readers tried to stump me recently by asking if I had ever heard of the mynbex hebatica cough. This old timer was a pet of Dr. William Osier and occured in ado lescent boys of neurotic families. It is a doglike, barking cough that sometimes accompanies respiratory disorders such as croup. This, is the only one of the many varieties of cough. The list includes the dry irritative (non-productive cough) and the moist loose (productive cough) the gander, hacking croupy, pleuritic and compressive types. Then there are the ear, stomach, reflex winter and damp weather varieties as well as the minute gun aneurysmal, privit tea toaster's habit, hysterical, nervous cigaret and polite coughs. However, the kinds of cough are limited, compared with the number of causes. There are at least 35 important and 25 less common origins varying from the bronchitis of an ordinary cold to that brought on by heart disease. Some of the mainlines are tuberculosis,, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, whooping cough, hay fever pleuisy lung abscesses, cancer and pneumoconiosis (coal miner' disease). The hack associated with heart trouble generally steams from congestion or dropsy and is a sign that the old pump is over burdened and in need of rest. It is natural to become concerned when cough persists or has a tendency to recur frequently; but there is no necessity to remain in the dark. Chest X-ray and other procedures are invaluable aids in diag nosis and will demonstrate most serious abnormalities With due respect to cough medicine coughs are hard to comouflage. As the poet, George Herbert said more than 300 years ago, "Love and a Cough cannot be hid." V. P. Writes: Because of my work schedule I sleep from 4:00 to 7:00 a. m. and for two or three hours in the afternoon. I am 27 and in good health. Will this broken sleep affect my health in any way? Reply: There is no harm in divided sleep provided the hours add up to a respectable number. You are obtaining from five to six hours, which is some what shy of the desired amount. At 27 years of age this may be enough but the sleep needs seem to increase with age. COUGHS BY THE CARLOAD SOME OF 'EM EVEN GOOD By R. EARL BUND, M. D.

May brings brilliant colors to the dining room table—colorful foods bring Vitamin A into the diets of the diners. Cooking these vitamin rich vegetables may be just as dramatic as making the finest of angel cake. It is a rare accomplishment and quite practical From a health standpoint, it is infinitely more important to your family that you be a good vegetable cook, since vegetables supply a large portion of the vitamins and minerals needed for health. To keep their color and retain the nutrients, green vegetables should be cooked quickly and for as short a time as possible. They should be cooked uncovered and until just barely tender. Vegetables cooked too long, lose their flavor, food value and wholesome appearance. The practice of adding a small amount of soda to the cooking water to intensify the color and cut cooking time, is not recommended. Even a slight excess will make the vegetables slippery and unpleasant to eat. It destroys a considerable portion of the vitamin content, and makes the color un-natural and unattractive. Red vegetables should be cooked just the opposite of green ones. The kettle in which they are cooked should be closed tightly. The addition of a little vinegar, lemon juice or tart apples helps to keep the color brilliant. This is evident when vinegar or lemon juice is added to beets toward the end of cooking; it improves flavor as well as color. Red cabbage is also improved, by cooking a few tart apples with it. The red color in beets is also influeced greatly by care in preparation. About 3 inches of the stem should be left on, and care should be taken to avoid breaking the skin in washing and to keep the top- root intact. Yellow vegetables are the least susceptible to color changes of all the vegetables; but they should be cooked carefully, nevertheless, to preserve the food value and brilliant color. Over cooking often results in a gradual leaking of the pigment into the water, so the water becomes bright yellow and the food pale. Yellow vegetables may be steamed or boiled, either covered or uncovered. Covering the kettle will hasten the cooking time and this is desirable. Most white vegetables show no color, but change to an unattractive brownish gray if there is excess iron in the water or if they are overcrowded. Therefore, they should be cooked rapidly until just tender in order to expose them as briefly as possible to any iron that may be present in the water. Long cooking should be avoided. The key to cooking all vegetables is cooking them quickly. The briefer the cooking, the more of the food value of the raw food is retained in the cooked product. And the less there will be lost to the cooking water or destroyed completely. Vitamin B and c are readily destroyed at high temperatures and the longer a vegetable is cooked, the fewer the vitamins there are left. BLUFF CITY COMMENTARY By CHESTER M. HAMPTON At present the city of Memphis is negotiating for funds to erect a modern hospital to serve the Negro citizens of Memphis. Minor controversy and considerable (as yet unfounded) rumor has been spread concerning it. The rumor has it that at the last moment, the modern hospital will be turned over to the white people of Memphis and that the John Gaston hospital (which will then be relatively obsolete) will be employed for Negro use. As was noted above, this rumor is, as yet, unfounded and should be discouraged until some kind of definite proof is made. Should such proof become available, it will be time enough to publicize the development on a factual basis and to plan whatever action would be wiseest. As to the controversy, some persons have stated that the present hospital, should be improved and integrated. Under existing patterns of so-called "integration" it can easily be seen that this would deny many Negro doctors and nursed the opportunity to serve. The "integration" referred, to would be one wherein the facilities are open to all on a non-racial basis but the administration, of those facilities would be strictly one-sided. Such patterns exist in many northern public, schools which, supposedly, are "integrated" yet have no Negro teachers on their staffs. For the welfare or the Negro patient, then, as well as the professional person, it might be well to consider the proposition in terms of basic needs rather than ideals. This stand would not be a disavowal of those ideals but would be a temporary comprise until the situation is bettered all the way round. A concreted, pre-summer effort is being made to increase Negro voter registration during the month of May by the Bluff City and Shelby County Council of Civic Clubs with the cooperation and blessing of the city's ministers and other leaders. It is indeed commendable that the ministers should interest themselves in and support such a project as voter registration. In the essence, registration and voting will be a means to decrease and eventually eliminate the stresses in our society which are harmful both physically and spiritually to American Negroes. As promoters, then, of the spiritual welfare of their membership, our ministers are making that stewardship more meaningful by their support of registration. In other cities, campaigns have been carried out so that businessmen require (or at least request) registration of their employees; PTA groups take a dynamic stand for registration in the knowledge that voting intelligently will result in needed school improvements; even individual social clubs have made registration a requirement for membership. These are but a few of the means being used to effect higher registration in various community groups. They can, of course, be duplicated and improved upon in Memphis. In any event, with the personal and group discussion of such matters, a "registration-consciousness" should develop in Memphis to the extent that the present goal of 50, 000 might be surpassed.

Anti-Gambling Law Dies In Fla. Jacksonville's new anti-Grambling law died after a week's existence Wednesday when municipal Judge Charles Miller declared the act unconstitutional. The law said that holding a Federal Gambling Tax stamp was Prima Facia evidence of violating state Gambling laws. Four persons who were arrested under provisions of the law were released. CHRIST FOR ALL-ALL FOR CHRIST The Word of God We have known modern men who imagined material possessions were treasures. But at the end declared it all to be ashes. The very body of materialists turns to ashes. I AM BECOME LIKE DUST AND ASHES, JOB 30-19. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, alight unto my path We have known modern men who imagined material possessions were treasures. But at the end declared it all to be ashes. The very body of materialists turns to ashes. I AM BECOME LIKE DUST AND ASHES, JOB 30-19. HEADLINES & BYLINES BY SILAS F. WASHINGTON It seems as if I am very much misunderstood concerning what I advocate with reference to the FEPC question. The few people who have said anything at ail to me seem to think that I am against compulsory FEPC. In my analysis of the situation I wrote this (seemingly, overlooked:) "Inasmuch as no thing is all one thing or the other but is, rather, a combination of several components, the signifi cant question seems to be: How much of each shall we have? And, crystallization of opinion is the main objective of public discussions." That, certainly, does not say or imply that I am against a compulsory measure; on the contrary, it states definitely that some compulsion is as inescapable as is the voluntary aspect of it. Being a realist by nature and training, I am willing to face, the facts. Equally important, if not more so, it is from my point of view childish to expect the unreasonable, however desirous it may be: I mean by unreasonable here the likelihood or probability of certain proceedings. There was, in this connection, a discussion of this topic on the "Washington Spotlight" telecast last Sunday night. One thing stated was that Congress does have a right to pass such a law if it sees fit to do so. Also, during this, telecast, there was a very animated discussion of this subject between Sen. Hubert Humphrey (Dem. Minn.) and Sen. George Smathers (Dem. Fla.) As far as I was able to discover they did not advance any new arguments, on the question. In fact, practically everything they said has been covered in this space. However, Sen. Humhprey stated unequivocally that opponents of the bill had greatly misrepresented it: that he believes in education, persuasion and so forth as much as anyone else; that these have been tried and found extremely inadequate; that about 95 per cent of the bill is voluntary; that court action was only for the "recalcitrant few." Moreover, Charles Luch quotes Sen. Humphrey as saying that the Democratic plank must be for "fair play" in employment and that it is not based on compulsion but on the "right to work under fair and equal conditions with all other people." Since I have been misunderstood and criticized for what I wrote on this subject, I want to say that I meant exactly what I wrote as I wrote it. That seems o me to be the only realistic way of viewing such things. Yet, I am 100 per cent for Sen. Humphrey's stand as is stated above. DELEGATE TO INDIA Kenneth E. Henry, Freshman at Jarvis Christian College, has been selected to represent the youth of the Disciples of Christ at tthe World Conference of Protestant Youth in Travencore, India beginning in December of this year. The world Conference of Protestant Youth is made up of Protestant denominations throughout the world. Mr. Henry, representing the Disciples of Christ, is one of thirty Americans chosen to represent the United Christian Youth Movement in the United States and Canada. Kenneth has served three years on the executive committee of the International Christian Youth Fellowship Commission. He will serve as chairman of the Recreation Committee when the commission meets at Purdue University in August this year. As a member of this group, Kenneth attended the world convention on Christian Education at Toronto, Canada, in 1950. He was elected to the council of the United Christian Youth Movement Southern Regional Conference which met at Lake Brownwood. Texas last year. As president of the Texas Christian Missionary Convention CYF Department, has been engaged in various youth activities for several years. Entering Jarvis Christian College as a Freshman last September Kenneth has been outstanding both in academic and co-curricular activities. He is president of the freshman class; he sings in the college choir, is on the debating team, plays football, and is an active mem ber of the YMCA and other student organizations. While participating in the co-curricular activities Kenneth has maintained a scholastic average which has warranted his being placed on the Dean's Honor List both quarters this term.

Kefauver Answers Russell's Charges Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee Tuesday answered charges made against him by Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia as both men campaigned for votes in Florida's 6 presidential popularity poll. Kefauver defended himself against Russell's accusations that he favors a "super world government," that he voted against giving funds to the House Un-American Activities Committee and that he was lax in his ideas about ridding the country of Communism.

Kefauuver repeated his previous support of the Atlantic Pact, asking: "What harm can come from the nations sitting down to see how they can paddle our own canoes better in the same direction?" The Tennessee Senator slapped at one of Russell's major supporters, Sen. Smathers of Florida, bysaying that the United World Federalists are the group which f as a super world government. Kefauver identified Smathers as one of the leaders of the United World Federalists. Kefauver said he lost faith in the House Un-American Activities Committee when Chairman Parnell Thomas "started padding the payroll." On the communist issue, Kefauver proclaimed: "Nobody is stronger against Communism than I. I want to see them booted out of government." But Kefauver said he was in favor of following the advice of chief G-Man J. Edgar Hoover to keep the Reds, out in the open instead of driving them underground. TAKES SLAP AT Sen.
