Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1954-04-02 Mrs. Rosa Brown Bracy Remember The Physically Handicapped "The House of Representatives passed the Tax Bill by a vote of 210-204 but despite many promises to incorporate the tax exemption of the physically handicapped and those who support handicapped who cannot support themselves, they completely ignored us. We simply lacked five votes of having enough friends in the house," runs a release from the office of the American Federation of the Physically Handicapped Inc., in their recent release. This bill on this important issue should appeal to every individual, whether involved or not. Anything that helps the physically handicapped is bound to help the general public — for these are all our wards. The Physically Handicapped feel that they have been "short changed" and a general appeal is sent out for those friends who have taken the time to study their cause to engage every effort possible to the end of gaining support to a measure that means so much to them. Our Lord once said of these people — "you will have them always" and — "that my works might be made manifest unto you." Surely there is not even the shadow of a tendency against any measure of reasonableness which would reach the physically handicapped, many of whom are striving in a large measure to be self sustaining. Surely this is a meritorious cause and there should be no hesitancy on the part of public spirited individuals in enlisting in a fight that will not only help the physically handicapped, but air of us. A letter to your representatives in favor of this measure, would be a powerful contribution to the goal we all seek. Governor Knight Commended After several legitimate citizens groups appealed to Governor Goodwin J. Knight of California in behalf of Wesley Wells, he saw fit to commute his sentence from death to life imprisonment, without possible parole. Wells was an inmate in San Quentin Prison and was convicted of striking a guard with a cuspidor. After a lengthy study of the case Governor Knight asked the State Supreme Court to empower him to commute Well's sentence to life imprisonment. The 44-year-old Wells was scheduled to die on April 9th. The case attracted wide attention. New York Mirror Columnist Walter Winchell made a personal appeal in Well's behalf before the Governor just a month ago when they met at Palm Springs, California. In such a move the Governor showed bold courage and that native student of men and affairs as well as the spirit of tolerance. Governor Knight is making a commendable contribution in the high office he inherited upon the resignation of former Governor Earl Warren, to take the position of Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. May he fill well the shoes of the grand man who was high up in his consideration of those who maintained two candidates for the presidency of the United States, to come to that cherished honor the head of the most important judicial system in the world. President Eisenhower Takes Over With the presidential honeymoon gone and the winning of his fighting spurs, the President of the United States takes over. He is now being felt all over, the world as that reckoning power so becoming a president of the United States. In the taking of his new duties as a civil administrator, the transition from military life was somewhat gradual. This is in keeping with sane and safe policies that the best foot might be placed first. Long ago it was seen that the president was well in the saddle. While he had those conscious advisers, the Eisenhower mind could be seen throughout the fabric of governmental functions. For Some time the McCarthy matter has been tossing about newspaper editorials, headlines and by-line columns. In some areas, some dared to ask — "Is McCarthy greater than the government?" Others who thought they saw in the scuffle thrift for party criticism, would attempt to label McCarthy the Republican partyl. Not to be perturbed by these maneuvers, neither hastening the pressure of his great prestige, the president pursued the even lenor of his way — and in due time everybody was able to see who was the President of the United States. It took no party disruption, no firing of department heads nor threats to effect this condition. The President's latest statement to the press, amounting to "a man cannot sit in judgment on himself", might turn the pastime critics in another direction for political fodder to store up for the coming campaigns. McCarthy to the contrary, not withstanding. The Coming Of Spring In the calm atmosphere of its traditional romance and nostalgic impulses, the balmy days of spring have readied our land. The Southland is noted for its short and mild winters; it seems as the ages go by, our winters are tempered in mood of the years. March always brings the promise of bright and unclouded skies and those early recollections of planting time. First came the tender blades of grass in faint trickles about the meadow. Here and there a few yellow buds dared out to smell the zephys hidden in the southwinds; then a few leaves came out to view the sunshine and taste of the healing dews coming down at twilight. The jonquil, the lilies and then the wild violets made their advent on the hillside and soon we had with us our darling, the spring. For some weeks there have been oceans of peach blooms in the Southern portion of the state. The crepe myrtle, a Georgia flower tree, may be seen by the roadside draped in its crimson. Poets of Spring who of another generation, sang of merry plowmen whistling along the smoking furrow behind a mule might find a new song of more Vibrant flavor in the clicking of the tractor, that deisel horse, that snorts gasoline fumes against the plum orchard walls and the bounding buding appletrees that keep the vigil along the hedgelines as sweet Malinda, with pretty brown feet and dimpled arms, comes across the scented fields to meet "Minnie Quarters" at milking time. When Justice Triumphed (From The Atlanta Daily World) In the record case tried in the Fulton county Superior court of Willie Nash accused of the "lovers' lone" murder of a woman's companion, of which she was the chief witness, justice comes to a new era and a new fore. In the arguments of this trial which resulted in the acquittal of Nash the counsel for the defense, Donald L. Hollowell and Arthur Coombs, of the NAACP legal staff, covered themselves with honor while betraying unusual technique and regimented precision in the manner in which they conducted the defense. It will be remembered that the first trial of Nash for the alleged offense resulted in a mistrial, due to improper references made by the state prosecutor to a Negro witness at the trial. Any one attending the trial would have no wonder at an all white jury, taking the position that Nash was innocent of the crime. There were numerous spectators as well, whose only interest appeared to be their concern over the real culprit being punished for such a crime. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal principles upon which this government was founded. To emphasize this the founders also employed that amendment — "by a jury of his peers." Less than this procedure is lynch law, and if the accused in this case could have been immediately lynched according to an old pattern, that has seen service in the punishment of the innocent and the covering up of the real culprit the whole truth might never come to light. This is one of the hard cases made out against lynching; it covers up and licenses offenders, while sending in many instances innocent men to their deaths for crimes they knew nothing about. While Willie Nash is eternally grateful for the able defense counsel sent to his rescue, here is a victory for law and order in our civilized society. Both groups receive the advantage of cool and collected approaches toward such conditions as relate to trial by the orderly process of the courts. In the slowing down of those who would commit crime and shift the blame where it does not belong, there is comfort, for those who might become like victims of some agrieved culprit, feeling the assuredness that a hasty trial or no trial at all, would cover, them up from society that they might go on and kill again and again. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is also in for an ovation for the position taken in this case. This is not the first time it came to the rescue, of poor defenseless victims, whose poverty and status were the only real indictments that hurled them to an unjust and untimely doom. Hands again for Hollowell and Coombs.

LAFF-A-DAY "Why should I save my money for a rainy day? You wouldn't let me go out and spend it!" The Quest by ELSIE MACK IN THE dining room, Andrea lifted her shining morning face over the newsprint wall of the paper. "Hello!" she said cheerfully. "Did I snore?" Dale shook her head and laughed. "You should sue Phil for slander!" "I had nightmares," Andrea scowled. "1 dreamed that only you and Phil were in Carnegie Hall for my concert." "What happened to Don and me?" Aggie asked mildly, lifting the coffee pot. "How should I know? And every note bounced back at me like a hailstone from those empty balconies! I feel all battered and bruised." "All, those waffles before you went to bed," Agatha murmured in an I-told-you-so tone. "I warned you!" "Darling, I've drooled over Sarah's waffles halfway around the world Besides, I only ate six." the bogey of regaining those fifty dieted-off pounds was in Aggie's regretful, "I don't know now you do it, and Keep that twentyinch waistline." Andrea laughed and turned to Dale. "Can I drop you somewhere? I've rented a car." "I'm going to Stephanie's," Dale said. "The beauty factory?" "Not for a mud pack," Agatha explained to her piece. "Dale is going to take over Stephanie's books." Andrea's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "I shouldn't think it would be necessary for you to work. Or did Kelly squander his father's fortune?" Dale said evenly, "People work for reasons other than money do." "But columns of figures—ugh!" "One man's poison," said Agatha, in a tone of gentle reproof. "Unbelievable as it may seem to you. Andrea. I would go out of my mind doing double octaves by the Hundred thousand." "So would I on your piano," laughed Andrea. "It's disgracefully out of tune. Auntie." She picked up a leather, portfolio bulging won music, kissed Aggies cheek, and produced car keys on a ring "Ready. Date?" The sun already portended a broiling day, glimmering on the solid phalanx of steel and chrome along Park Avenue. It made. Dale's eyes ache, but Andrea wheeled her way expertly in the flow of tratfic 'How," she asked Dale curi ously, as they waited for a light to change, "did you happen to pick Stephanie's "Aggie did." "I'd rather work for a man," said Andrea positively. "Power goes to female heads." "I tried working for a man," Dale said dryly. Andrea gave her a cocked-brow glance, and changed gears. A car cut in, and she wrenched the wheel, honked her horn, and swore masterfully in Spanish at a near brush of fenders. A taxi driver grinned. Dale drew in her breath sharply and after a moment, Andrea said. "You think close! You should drive a car in Mexico City! In self-defense, I learned a mouthful of Spanish profanity. Don't ask me to translate it!" "I left my car at home," Dale said. "Grandy though" it wise." "You quote him like a second Daniel, don't you? Even in this short time, I've noticed." Dale looked surprised. "Do I?" " 'Grandy thinks. Grandy says, Grandy feels." Andrea shrugged "Well, theme used to be Aggie says'—until I decided to know myself, Plato." Dale shrugged doubtful shoulders. "Who does, actually?" "I do." "You know what you're striving to make of yourself!" "Isn't it the same thing?" Andrea drew off the Avenue onto a side, street. "Here we are. Employes' entrance, right? Good luck, Dale." She drove off, leaving Dale standing on the sidewalk. N. it was not the same thing, or she would not Be going through this door, riding this hot little box, of an elevator up to an office where thick ledgers of red and black figures awaited her. She would be. instead— But what she want to make of herself? One of the wise-cracking career girls that Roz Russell portrayed in the movies? Another Rambova, with an annual floral offering on a grave? She got off at the third floor, and had given her name to the receptionist before she realized, that she did not know her employers Full name. Stephanie The girl was nodding at her in a friendly raion. "Stephanie s late this morning. Sit down, will you? She won't be long." "Would you mind telling me her —Stephanie 's—surname?" "Martin, but call her Stephanie Everyone does." She saw Dale's expression and smiled. "Its just like Maam Or," her smile became a grin, Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Dale had formed a mental image of a woman embodying all the much-advertised glamour of her fa mous salon; it was rather disconcerting, a quarter of an hour later, to learn from the receptionist's signal that the plain, thin woman in her Middle fifties coming from, the elevator was Stephanie. Dale rose, introduced herself, and put her hand into the square, firm one out held. Lipstick, following the natural line of Her mouth, was Stephanie's only make-up. Her eyebrows had not been tweezed out and painted in, and her short gray hair looked as if she cut it herself. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Date," she said, leading the way into her office. "How is Aggie?" "Very well," "I needn't have asked. She's the healthiest female I know, barring myself." "It was kind of her to arrange this for me." "Most people don't recognize Aggie's Kindness," Stephanie said. "She hides it so well under that Bolshevist dictatorialism of hers!" Dale faltered, "But she didn't—" "Hold a bludgeon over me?" Stephanie shook her head. "No. I didn't invent a job for you just to oblige an old friend. In fact, you're a god-send. I don't enjoy interviewing applicants from the Agency. They all expect me to look like Ava Gardner." Dale felt herself flushing, and, Stephanie smiled "I'm a dismal advertisement for my products!

Here 's a woman who knew where she was going, and got there. Maybe Andrea was right... CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO by ELSIE MACK IN THE dining room, Andrea lifted her shining morning face over the newsprint wall of the paper. "Hello!" she said cheerfully. "Did I snore?" Dale shook her head and laughed. "You should sue Phil for slander!" "I had nightmares," Andrea scowled. "1 dreamed that only you and Phil were in Carnegie Hall for my concert." "What happened to Don and me?" Aggie asked mildly, lifting the coffee pot. "How should I know? And every note bounced back at me like a hailstone from those empty balconies! I feel all battered and bruised." "All, those waffles before you went to bed," Agatha murmured in an I-told-you-so tone. "I warned you!" "Darling, I've drooled over Sarah's waffles halfway around the world Besides, I only ate six." the bogey of regaining those fifty dieted-off pounds was in Aggie's regretful, "I don't know now you do it, and Keep that twentyinch waistline." Andrea laughed and turned to Dale. "Can I drop you somewhere? I've rented a car." "I'm going to Stephanie's," Dale said. "The beauty factory?" "Not for a mud pack," Agatha explained to her piece. "Dale is going to take over Stephanie's books." Andrea's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "I shouldn't think it would be necessary for you to work. Or did Kelly squander his father's fortune?" Dale said evenly, "People work for reasons other than money do." "But columns of figures—ugh!" "One man's poison," said Agatha, in a tone of gentle reproof. "Unbelievable as it may seem to you. Andrea. I would go out of my mind doing double octaves by the Hundred thousand." "So would I on your piano," laughed Andrea. "It's disgracefully out of tune. Auntie." She picked up a leather, portfolio bulging won music, kissed Aggies cheek, and produced car keys on a ring "Ready. Date?" The sun already portended a broiling day, glimmering on the solid phalanx of steel and chrome along Park Avenue. It made. Dale's eyes ache, but Andrea wheeled her way expertly in the flow of tratfic 'How," she asked Dale curi ously, as they waited for a light to change, "did you happen to pick Stephanie's "Aggie did." "I'd rather work for a man," said Andrea positively. "Power goes to female heads." "I tried working for a man," Dale said dryly. Andrea gave her a cocked-brow glance, and changed gears. A car cut in, and she wrenched the wheel, honked her horn, and swore masterfully in Spanish at a near brush of fenders. A taxi driver grinned. Dale drew in her breath sharply and after a moment, Andrea said. "You think close! You should drive a car in Mexico City! In self-defense, I learned a mouthful of Spanish profanity. Don't ask me to translate it!" "I left my car at home," Dale said. "Grandy though" it wise." "You quote him like a second Daniel, don't you? Even in this short time, I've noticed." Dale looked surprised. "Do I?" " 'Grandy thinks. Grandy says, Grandy feels." Andrea shrugged "Well, theme used to be Aggie says'—until I decided to know myself, Plato." Dale shrugged doubtful shoulders. "Who does, actually?" "I do." "You know what you're striving to make of yourself!" "Isn't it the same thing?" Andrea drew off the Avenue onto a side, street. "Here we are. Employes' entrance, right? Good luck, Dale." She drove off, leaving Dale standing on the sidewalk. N. it was not the same thing, or she would not Be going through this door, riding this hot little box, of an elevator up to an office where thick ledgers of red and black figures awaited her. She would be. instead— But what she want to make of herself? One of the wise-cracking career girls that Roz Russell portrayed in the movies? Another Rambova, with an annual floral offering on a grave? She got off at the third floor, and had given her name to the receptionist before she realized, that she did not know her employers Full name. Stephanie The girl was nodding at her in a friendly raion. "Stephanie s late this morning. Sit down, will you? She won't be long." "Would you mind telling me her —Stephanie 's—surname?" "Martin, but call her Stephanie Everyone does." She saw Dale's expression and smiled. "Its just like Maam Or," her smile became a grin, Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Dale had formed a mental image of a woman embodying all the much-advertised glamour of her fa mous salon; it was rather disconcerting, a quarter of an hour later, to learn from the receptionist's signal that the plain, thin woman in her Middle fifties coming from, the elevator was Stephanie. Dale rose, introduced herself, and put her hand into the square, firm one out held. Lipstick, following the natural line of Her mouth, was Stephanie's only make-up. Her eyebrows had not been tweezed out and painted in, and her short gray hair looked as if she cut it herself. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Date," she said, leading the way into her office. "How is Aggie?" "Very well," "I needn't have asked. She's the healthiest female I know, barring myself." "It was kind of her to arrange this for me." "Most people don't recognize Aggie's Kindness," Stephanie said. "She hides it so well under that Bolshevist dictatorialism of hers!" Dale faltered, "But she didn't—" "Hold a bludgeon over me?" Stephanie shook her head. "No. I didn't invent a job for you just to oblige an old friend. In fact, you're a god-send. I don't enjoy interviewing applicants from the Agency. They all expect me to look like Ava Gardner." Dale felt herself flushing, and, Stephanie smiled "I'm a dismal advertisement for my products! But after the halfcentury milestone, you can't paint youth back on. You can't cream it in with hormones, or girdle it in with rubber." Her smile was queationing.

Here 's a woman who knew where she was going, and got there. Maybe Andrea was right... Russia Willing To Consider Plans For European Defense Russia said last night it was willing to study the question of entering the North Atlantic Treaty organization (NATO) or, as an alternative, have the United States join the Moscow plan for a 50-year, all European security pact. This was disclosed by the French foreign office last night after receipt of a Soviet note delivered in Moscow. The Soviet note also went to the United States and Great Britain. The notes to the Western powers followed up the proposal made by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov at the recent conference of Big Four Foreign Ministers in Berlin. That proposal was rejected by the West. The Soviet idea at that time was to replace the 14-nation Atlantic Pact and the six-nation European Defense Community (EDC) which would be linked to NATO, with its own Pan-European security project, from which the United States and Red. China would be excluded, but given roles as "observers." Russia said it was prepared to examine the question of joining the Atlantic Pact together, which "interested governments." The French foreign office said the Soviet note repeated Moscow's old contention that NATO is not a purely defensive organization sew up to protect its members against possible aggression. The note was said to have made the point that some of the powers which did not fight against Germany in World War If are members of the Atlantic Pact. The ten-page Soviet note handed to the three Western ambassadors in Moscow by Molotov referred to the danger of an atomic war. It also rejected the West's contention that there is disparity, in favor of the Communist side, between the military forces of East and West. (The Soviet offer to examine the question of joining the Atlantic Pact came as a surprise to many in London.) 'Tis strong—but true; for truth is always strange stranger than fiction—Bryon.
