Dr. King Hurls The "Do Something Yourself" Challenge In a stirring address here at Wheat Street Church, Wednesday night, Dr. M. L. King, Jr., called upon our people in no uncertain terms to aid federal agencies by doing their part toward achieving full citizenship for all citizens. This is sound advice. We must constantly work in a constructive way to build goodwill with good conduct. Another citizen from Alabama, Booker T. Washington, had come a generation before exhorting — 'Let your buckets down where you are." The young leader of the Montgomery bus protest, in tracing the Negro race through three periods, fired away on the third period, that of beginning with the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation. This new period, he said, has seen us come from the wilderness of legal segregation and inspite of the dynasties that are working against us, we will continue our progress. He cited three major eras: The first stage being slavery; the second, the era of "separate but equal", with the third having the torch by which we hope to 'walk through the valley in peace." Dr. King was correct in his warnings that we must be ready for both sufferings and sacrifice. These are the sum totals of what people endured across the ages for the price of freedom. Such an address, fraught with its gems of wisdom and its phrases of tested philosophy; quite naturally would be backed by the speaker's defense of his non-violent approach to problems. He would hold out the life of our Saviour in His teaching's, using the parable, "that to turn the other cheek, means that it is better to go through life with a scarred body than with a scarred soul." It is well that Atlantans had another pleasure of listening to a young leader who has dedicated his life early to a just and meritorious cause. He has the vim, vigor, the intellectual resource, the native honesty and courage to make a laudable contribution. It is predicted that the country and the nation will be benefited by his having been timed to this generation for this priceless service that he so handsomely espouses. Mail Those Christmas Packages It is already getting late to mail Christmas packages to some servicemen in various parts of the world. It is close to the deadline, even though Christmas is some time away, to mail Christmas packages to distant points in this country. There is always a glut in the mails beginning about two weeks before Christmas, and, inevitably, some packages which are mailed in the last two weeks prior to the year's principal holiday are not delivered for enjoyment during the Christmas holiday. The same advice pertaining to Christmas packages is true concerning Christmas cards. Therefore, if you have not mailed your cards or your presents going to distant cities, or over seas get them off at the soonest possible moment. It is not the gift, but the spirit, which counts, and now is the time for some Spirit concerning the gift. How Sad! How True! The following editorial is reprinted from The Beacon. Lambertville, New Jersey: "Charles H. Brower, president of one of the large advertising firms spoke recently of a trend that is causing many people to wonder whether we have lost the great driving force that gave us all the benefits we enjoy today. "Brower said, 'This is the era of the goof-off; the age of the half-done job. The land from coast-to-coast has been enjoying a stampede away from responsibility. It is populated by waiters who won't serve, carpenters who come around, some day... maybe executives whose minds are on the golf course, students who take cinch courses, and salesmen who won't sell. "These are pretty strong words, but in too many cases they are true. "Too many people lock upon their work as a means to an end... a pay check. How much they lose is not learning how to work, how to develop pride in a job well done. Mr. Brower Calls it... 'the thrill of achievement'. Perhaps our schools might develop a course on how to Work." The Dreadful Cause WISHING WELL Registered U. S. Patient Office. H is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every day.

Use It Or Lose It REV. LOUISE LYNOM Where is he who has been born king of the Jews For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him." Matt. 2.2. "Have you Seen?" is the question most frequently asked. What we see will influence us for good or for evil Three men were called wise went to the Jerusalem and asked a question that created a political stir. Men of government called the religious leaders together and inquired where the Messiah was to be born. "where the he, was have seen his star in the east, and we have came to worship him." If we in the East can see his star, you in the West ought to know where he is that he is born. When East comes West seeking Moral and Spiritual help, with the Question of the wheness and the Whereness of God on earth, will the West disappoint the East? Not that the East at the political level, is Searching for that answer today. The East is busy with the scientific outlook on life. What is the West doing? What was it doing nineteen centuries ago? Will the West lose its privilege and opportunity to answer the spiritual and moral questions of the East? Tell the truth about God, about His coming to earth that He has Come and is with us to stay AdVise the East to follow His Star: because they have seen his star. Christians have the message for Society this period in the year. God lives with them they know of His loving kindness as revealed in Jesus Christ. If the season does not reWard your effort to become someThing is wrong with you not with Him. Prayer: Almighty God, who hast given us thy only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him and at this time to be born of a pure virgin Grant that we being regenerate. and made thy childred by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit; through the name our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with the and the same Spirit ever, one God, world without end Amen. Montgomery Rights in the appeal procedure. However, Commission staff members are indicating satisfaction with testimony supporting the Alabama complaints. Highlights of the hearing were televised and thoroughly covered by newspapers and other media of communication. From the testimony of 27 citizens of Macon County, 25 of whom have been refused registration up to fifteen times and ten from Dallas. Barber and Bullock Counties, the Public may judge whether or not The right to vote has been denied. The public also may judge the conduct of local and State officials in Alabama, which President Eisenhower at his press conference on Wednesday branded as "reprehensible." J. Ernest Wilkins, the only Negro member of the Commission, and a former Assistant Secretary of Labor, took a leading role in the hearing. His questioning of both the complainants and the registration officials who appeared and testified was responsible for getgetting on record many important facts which will be reported to the President and Congress along with The Commission's recommendations. Vice Chairman Robert G. Storey, dean of the Southern Methodist University Law School, was designated by the Commission as "law officer' 'to conduct the hearing. After he finished questioning each witness other Commissioners had the privilege of asking additional questions. Mr. Wilkins was the most active in this. He was aided by his law assistant on the staff, Eugene Jackson, who was present for the hearing. He had done much of the research and assembled the facts on which some of Mr. Wilkins' questions were based. Circuit Judge George Wallace, a leader in Alabama's defiance of the Civil Rights Commission will conTest a U. S. court suppena to turn Over voter registration records to the commission it was learned Friday. Two other Alabama officials subpenaed to testify resigned their posts. A reliable source said Wallace would contest the subpena issued by Federal Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr., rather than be cited for contempt of court if he refuses to appear before the commission here Dec. 19 as directed.

Sloan told the lawyers to include in the respective written arguments their contentions as to what they believe the court should rule from the evidence presented in court. The case of Mrs. Barbara Hunt, Mrs. Myra Dinsmore and Miss Iris Mae Welch against the Board of Regents and officials at GSC ended on a note of speculation from supporters of both sides. The vocal sympathizers of the state's case seemed to believe the plaintiffs would lose this case. They pointed but that Hollowell may have also thought the case was lost when he attempted to intervene another name as a partyplaintiff to the suit Thursday morning. The attorneys for the plaintiffs attempted to gain court approval of a move to allow the name of Edward Jacob demons to be inserted into the list of plaintiffs contesting discrimination at GSC. Many persons expressed the belief that Hollowell made the move on behalf of the young insurance man because the plaintiffs felt they had a weak case and were likely to lose on the basis of existing evidence. On the other hand, a few spec tators said they believed Hollowell and his legal partners attempted to assert Clemons' name to test the validity of their contention that the present suit is a "class action." The plaintiffs argued Thursday that the three women involved in the legal skirmish are not merely seeking relief for themselves, but rather they are seeking "to establish the civil rights of every member of the class of which they are a part." They were obviously recalling a statement made by former Georgia Governor Herman Talmadge who once said that every Negro seeking admittance to a school listed as "all-white" would have to file suits individually. The move to insert the name of Clemons as a party-plaintiff in the present suit was thought to be an attempt by the plaintiffs' attorneys to clarify the policy of the court in regard to Talmadge's statement. The judges' decision to disallow the intervention of Clemons may or may not be an attempt by the court to substantiate Talmadge's pledge, however, Judge Sloan ruled that the plaintiffs had not shown conclusively that the suit could be considered a "class action." Judge Sloan cautioned the lawyers at the adjournment of the trial that he would like to have all arguments and any additional evidence before him by January 12 so a decision can be rendered before the Criminal Division docket begins on that date. Sloan adjourned the major integration trial until further order of the court. A decision is expected from the judge approximately the first week in January. CLASS ACTION chance to study the ease.

They were obviously recalling a statement made by former Georgia Governor Herman Talmadge who once said that every Negro seeking admittance to a school listed as "all-white" would have to file suits individually. The move to insert the name of Clemons as a party-plaintiff in the present suit was thought to be an attempt by the plaintiffs' attorneys to clarify the policy of the court in regard to Talmadge's statement. The judges' decision to disallow the intervention of Clemons may or may not be an attempt by the court to substantiate Talmadge's pledge, however, Judge Sloan ruled that the plaintiffs had not shown conclusively that the suit could be considered a "class action." Judge Sloan cautioned the lawyers at the adjournment of the trial that he would like to have all arguments and any additional evidence before him by January 12 so a decision can be rendered before the Criminal Division docket begins on that date. Sloan adjourned the major integration trial until further order of the court. A decision is expected from the judge approximately the first week in January.

Most Negro Stations Negro emphasis radio He said the time was "over" for the kind of programming typical of most of the stations beaming to the Negro market. The owner of KXLW who bought the station last March told Variety that there are an estimated 70 radio stations in the United States which program entirely for Negroes, but he felt that there weren't more than a half-dozen of them which were sincere and tried to "program up" rather than 'shoot down." He noted that WLIB of New York, KPRS of Kansas City and his own outlet were among the few serving the community. "What (Negro radio) should do and is not doing is to be able to point to at least one thing at the end of the year — whether it an iron lung, a park bench or a community center, something — and say my station got this one thing that's worthwhile," Miller declares. Miller pointed out in Variety that white announcers for white audiences are allowed the dignity of using their own names — William B. Williams, Martin Block or whoever. But the Negro deejay doesn't have his own name. He's given the name of a clown, a name in keeping with the false and grotesque stereotype of the idiotic smiling Negro. He becomes Uncle Snuffy, Dr. Gismo, Radio Daddy-O. The Cat Man. "The irony is the white man who listens in is not really hearing what the Negro wants to hear," Miller said. The executive said his station is making a profit from its "enlightened' programming. He said he assumes the others who follow the same format are making profits as well. Florida Says It Will Protect Man Accused Of Murder Gov. LeRoy Collins informed the N. A. A. C. P. Friday that the state will fully protect the rights of a Negro charged with two murders, but that he will not be "pampered or favored because of his race." Collins sad Frank Peterson, who allegedly has admitted the brutal murder of a white sharecropper and his 2-year-old daughter, will be permitted to see and talk with counsel and friends assisting with his defense. 'But whom he sees and where and when will depend upon his own desires and the normal rules and procedures governing conferences of this sort and not upon what any special interest organization leader may desire," Collins said. Collins replied to a telegram from NAACP Field Secretary Robert W. Saunders of Tampa, asking permission to interview Peterson before he is brought to trial in Bonifay. The court has appointed an attorney to represent Peterson, but Saunders said in a case of this nature, something other than a courtassigned lawyer should be done to guarantee the defendant a completely unbiased trial."
