The Year Ahead

per cent of eligible voters registered, active civic clubs, active 
Non-Partisan Citizens Committee.
Reasonably certain: New civic clubs and city-wide coordination, 
increased Negro participation in activities of
Civic Research, League of Women Voters, and other nonpartisan 
political activity, increased Negro participation in
political party life.
Reasonable expectation; increase in the practice of
calling Negroes for jury duty and of acceptance of the responsibility 
by Negroes.
Some sort of Negro advisors or advisory bodies attached 
to our departments and other, public policy-making bodies
as long as the elected personnel of these remains white.
Reasonably certain: some continued extension of services 
to Negroes, employment of Negro staff member, and
Negro participation in advisory bodies-adoption by more
agencies of the practice to provide for Negro participation
in the boards of control.
Widespread hope: a more equitable distribution of Community 
Chest funds between, the two races some form of
direct Negro participation in the policy-making bodies of
Community Chest and Community Council.
Reasonably hopeful: strengthening of the Negro religious 
educational and community services now conducted
by a few Negro churches with vision and courage, but on a
shoe string; more church participation, Negro and white, in
the Church and social work study groups, and in the new interdenominational 
ministers' alliance formed by Negroes but
with a few of the white clergy also; increased white and Negro 
cooperation in operating daily vacation Bible schools,
church sponsored day-care centers, and youth activities.
These things we may reasonably expect; but expectations 
cannot restrict the future. We have grounds to let our
hopes exceed these "reasonable expectations." Who knows,
for instance, hut our Park Commission might suddenly wake
up and adopt the long standing five policies of our department 
of health or our housing authority? Who knows, but
the Christian churches might suddenly wake, up to taking
their secular citizenship? The very difference between one
department and another, one social agency or one organization 
and another, one field of activity and another, reveals
to us the challenging possibility of new movements springing, 
up in line with the great world goal and trend of human
brotherhood. A single leader with vision, determination, and
friendly wisdom can transform a department, an agency, or
a whole field of action. So 1951-52 is filled with great hopes
and possibilities unlimited.
To the progress of the recent past both of our white
dailies and the MEMPHIS WORLD have greatly contributed 
by moderation, by a constructive attitude, and by a continuing 
advocacy of justice and cooperative good will. The

citizens of Memphis owe all there thanks for the years past
and a word of encouragement and support, in carrying the
same spirit forward into the year ahead.

 got up and said to
his wife, "I'd like you to call up
the Ciiffside place and find out
somehow or other where the ladies
are going to be today."
She stood looking at him... "You
want them out of the house, do
you?"
"I'd' like to know their plans.
As you said, It's Saturday."
"Then Ira Coldfield wouldn't be
at work; and I suppose that creature 
Ames is always at home.
Head or the family!"
"Ames didn't sell the letters,
Clara."
"He didn't?"
"No. He wants to find out who
sold them just as much as we do."
"How do you—"
"He's been asking around. He's
not our man—forget, him."
Clara sat down at the desk,
looked at the number Gamadge
put before her, and dialed.
After a pause she said, "I wonder 
it you could tell me whether
Mrs. Coldfield and Susan are to be
in town today? ... Oh, they are?
Thank you very much, I'll try to
... No, that's all right, never mind,
I won't bother to leave a message."
She put the receiver down. "It
was the maid, Henry. They've
started for New York, they'll be
there all day. Agnes thinks it's
lunch and a matinee."
"Thank you, it's Just what I
wanted."
Tm disappointed, I rather hoped
you were after Mrs. Ira.. I feel
very vindictive about her.. But I
suppose after all he's the likeliest.
All that blustering yesterday!"
It was a beautiful day. Gamadge, 
following Clara out of the
house, stood with her for a minute 
on the steps as If he didn't
like to part from her. "We ought
to be doing something nice ourselves," 
he said. "I wouldn't even
mind taking the boy, and some
peanuts, and sitting in the park.
Why don't we ever have a nice
family party like that? And on
Saturday We'd have lots of company." 

"Are you crazy?"
"I Just feel gregarious."
"It wouldn't be such a novelty
for me, you know," said Clara
grimly. "I've done plenty of that.
I don't think you'd care for it.
Let's leave it to Miss Mullins."
"It was only a dream."
She gave him a rather troubled
glance, but he smiled; she walked
away down the street toward Third
Avenue and the markets, he turned
in the opposite direction and hailed
a cab at the corner.
The building was a big old busi
ness 
place on Madison Avenue.
Gamadge looked at the list of tenants, 
and spoke to an elevator-man
who was standing idle in front of
his empty car:
"Mr. Venner in this morning,
would you Know?"
"Sure,, he came in Not much
traffic Saturdays."
"No. Thanks. I'll go up.
Eleven?"
"That's right"
"Wait a minute, I ought to telephone. 
I see some booth back
there,"
Gamadge went into a booth and
telephoned Geegan.
"Shoot them right over, Geegan:
It's not far." He gave the address.
"His office is Eleven G. I'll be in
there with him for a while, and I
hope to get put before he does:
if not I'll be with him, of course.
The name's William Cole Venner,
he's some kind of wholesale antique 
dealer, and I can't find his
home address."
"They'll And it."
"I don't know whether the place
has a back entrance."
"They'll find that out too."
"All' I know is that he's about
forty and supposed to be goodlooking. 
If I don't have a chance
to talk to your men, tell them to
stick to him wherever he goes or
whatever he does, even if he takes
a train. They can report to me
after lunch, and then perhaps
they'd better report to you and
I'll call you."
"Fine. I get it"
"The whole thing may be a false
alarm; if so, I'll try to let them
know it How on earth, Geegan,
are they going to know me? I'm
wearing a grey suit—"
"Don't worry," said Geegan,
laughing, "they'll know you. I had
some experience describing people."
"Shoot them over, then."
Gamadge stepped into the elevator 
and on the eleventh floor
emerged into a cross-corridor,
turned a corner, and walked between 
half-glass doors until he
came to one marked G. A small
gold inscription in the lower lefthand 
corner said: William Cole
Venner: Walk in.
Gamadge walked in, directly into
a room with big windows. There
was thick carpet underfoot, heavy
furniture—every piece declaring
itself authentic to the most casual
eye. A man sat at a desk under,
the nearest window — it was a
handsome kneehole desk, big and
solid like the other furniture. Mr.
Venner dealt in no gimcracks.
The man looked up, rose, and
came forward. He was as tall as
Gamadge, a little heavier in build
but not much; he wore dark Lon
don-made 
clothes and showed them
off. He had light-brown hair, lightgrey 
eyes, a long face with a
squared chin, handsome features
and a reddish, weathered skin.
Deep lines ran from nose to mouth,
aging him. He looked experienced,
competent tired and rather dejected. 

He asked, "What can I do for
you?" in a pleasant but uninterested 
voice.
"I understand," said Gamadge,
"that you buy things."
Venner looked a little surprised.
"Well, yes, that's my trade." he
said, politely taking Gamadge in.
"I'm always interested in estates,
and libraries."
"You wouldn't be interested in
mine, I'm afraid."
"If I come across something important 
I sometimes do a deal in
the retail way," said Venner, "but
very seldom now."
"As a matter of fact," said Gamadge, 
"what I had in mind was a
swap."
Venner, more and more surprised, 
studied him. At last he
said, "I never did go in much for
that kind of thing."
"Too "much haggling connected with 
it? There wouldn't be in this
case. One price," said Gamadge.
They were facing each other,
their eyes on a level... Venner had
his hands in his pockets, and he
was rocking gently back and forth
on toes and heels. "What did you
have in mind?" he asked, not Without 
curiosity.
"I didn't bring the thing with
me, of course," answered Gamadge, 
"but I can describe it in a
way to satisfy you or anybody.
It's a square envelope, bluish-white
with Just a hint of lilac. It has a
red Victorian stamp on it, it's postmarked 
Scale, Somerset, 1875, and
it's, addressed to Mrs. Deane Coldfield, 
The' Maples, Ciiffside."
Venner had stopped rocking. Motionless, 
his lower lip caught under
his teeth, He was looking at Gamadge 
without expression. An interval 
passed before he spoke:
"I wouldn't have believed it I
wouldn't, really."
"It must' seem very strange,"
said Gamadge. "I ought to explain
at once that there no money involved 
in the deal."
"That makes me feel better, of
course,"" said Venner, in the same
flat voice. "What am I supposed,
to offer you in exchange for this
object, then? I'm afraid I couldn't
undertake—"
"I don't want you to sell any
stolen goods for me," said Gamadge. 
"I only want the name of
your principal."

came to one marked G. A small
gold inscription in the lower lefthand 
corner said: William Cole
Venner: Walk in.
Gamadge walked in, directly into
a room with big windows. There
was thick carpet underfoot, heavy
furniture—every piece declaring
itself authentic to the most casual
eye. A man sat at a desk under,
the nearest window — it was a
handsome kneehole desk, big and
solid like the other furniture. Mr.
Venner dealt in no gimcracks.
The man looked up, rose, and
came forward. He was as tall as
Gamadge, a little heavier in build
but not much; he wore dark Lon
don-made 
clothes and showed them
off. He had light-brown hair, lightgrey 
eyes, a long face with a
squared chin, handsome features
and a reddish, weathered skin.
Deep lines ran from nose to mouth,
aging him. He looked experienced,
competent tired and rather dejected. 

He asked, "What can I do for
you?" in a pleasant but uninterested 
voice.
"I understand," said Gamadge,
"that you buy things."
Venner looked a little surprised.
"Well, yes, that's my trade." he
said, politely taking Gamadge in.
"I'm always interested in estates,
and libraries."
"You wouldn't be interested in
mine, I'm afraid."
"If I come across something important 
I sometimes do a deal in
the retail way," said Venner, "but
very seldom now."
"As a matter of fact," said Gamadge, 
"what I had in mind was a
swap."
Venner, more and more surprised, 
studied him. At last he
said, "I never did go in much for
that kind of thing."
"Too "much haggling connected with 
it? There wouldn't be in this
case. One price," said Gamadge.
They were facing each other,
their eyes on a level... Venner had
his hands in his pockets, and he
was rocking gently back and forth
on toes and heels. "What did you
have in mind?" he asked, not Without 
curiosity.
"I didn't bring the thing with
me, of course," answered Gamadge, 
"but I can describe it in a
way to satisfy you or anybody.
It's a square envelope, bluish-white
with Just a hint of lilac. It has a
red Victorian stamp on it, it's postmarked 
Scale, Somerset, 1875, and
it's, addressed to Mrs. Deane Coldfield, 
The' Maples, Ciiffside."
Venner had stopped rocking. Motionless, 
his lower lip caught under
his teeth, He was looking at Gamadge 
without expression. An interval 
passed before he spoke:
"I wouldn't have believed it I
wouldn't, really."
"It must' seem very strange,"
said Gamadge. "I ought to explain
at once that there no money involved 
in the deal."
"That makes me feel better, of
course,"" said Venner, in the same
flat voice. "What am I supposed,
to offer you in exchange for this
object, then? I'm afraid I couldn't
undertake—"
"I don't want you to sell any
stolen goods for me," said Gamadge. 
"I only want the name of
your principal."

Congressman Tells

American economy: In a nation
with 15 million people not allowedto 
earn to the full extent of their
capacities because of segregation —
the purchasing power, of those 15
million people is lowered correspondingly 
and the work output and
efficiency is also lowered. The time
will come, Mr. Willkie opined, when
Americans will realize the terrific
waste of man-power and purchasing 
power and take steps to utilize
it — the elimination of segregation.
The same type of evil exists, he
continued, in the fields of art literature 
the professions and science.
Referring teethe many people of the
nation who say that "it isn't time—
we're not ready yet," Willkie said:
"When we're in an Atom Bomb
race with Joe Stalin, time's not on
our side, it's against us."
Preceding the address by Mr.
Willkie, President Benjamin Mays
spoke on: "The Emerging New
South in the Area of Human Relations." 
Dr. Mays drew comparisons

between different areas in the
south in the state of Georgia and
in the city of Atlanta to demonstrate 
that there was no general description 
which could be applied to
the south as a whole in terms of
his topic.
He did cite several advances the.
race had made within the period of
his life-long southern residence.
These advancements have come in
different areas and different times
in education transportation, and
"a higher regard for the Negro's
person."
He also welcomed the present era
in which Negroes were losing their,
white "relatives.." there have being
fewer "Uncles" and "Aunties." He
cited progress In the fields of medicine, 
health, employment and religion. 

Discussing the question of "Who
is responsible for this" emerging new
south?" Dr. Mays said it isn't the
conviction of the southern citizenry,
statesmen, churches or colleges,
which is responsible.
The responsibility for the "emerging 
dew South," he said, should be
attributed to; (1) The Negro is
more determined to be a first class
citizen; (2) Our (American) fear of
Communism and its bid for the favor 
of the Asiatic peoples and (3)
The leadership of the NAACP under 
which we (Negroes) have
found a way to achieve more freedom 
and Justice in the Federal
Courts.
In referring to the doctrines of
Booker T. Washington and W. E.
B. DuBois, Dr. Mays declared:
"There is nothing in history to prove
that being good and competent and
loyal will gain for minorities their
full citizenship rights."
Referring as did Mr. Willkie to
the persons who say "it isn't time,
Dr. Mays, opined that the calm with
which the south has taken every
court decision against jimcrow
proves that the time is here.
He decried the apathy of Negroes 
in particular who failed to
support their militant groups (notably 
the NAACP) which fight for
civil rights. "If we are not willing
to pay for our freedom,", he said,
"we do not-deserve It!"
