Civil Rights, Is Basic
Clarence Mitchell, Director for the Washington Bureau of
the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
sounded a timely warning last weekend at Birmingham, when he
told delegates to Alabama State. NAACP Conference that Negroes
will not support any presidential nominee in the 1952 race who
"soft pedals" the Civil Rights issue. Of course Mr. Mitchell did
not profess to be expressing the official attitude of the Association 
nor the official opinion of Negroes generally. Nevertheless
what he had to say might well be the official attitude of all
Negroes since that is precisely their feeling.
Vice-President Alben Berkley, gave some revealing answers
to questions on the Civil Rights and North-South coalition. The
details we con not here discuss. But we quote his answer to a
specific question: "Do you think that the State Fair Employment
Practices Commissions are the first step?" And he gives this answer: 

"My own belief is that every stale ought to attempt to have
an FEPC within its own boundaries. But just like the poll tax
and just like other so-called civil rights legislation, it is difficult
to divide the country up into economic compartment in which
there may or may not be the enjoyment of these rights.
"In my judgment it is an utter inconsistency in a democracy
in its broad sense for a government to be able to reach its strong
arm into every home in the land and pick the strongest in that
home — white, colored, brown, or any other race or group — and
send that man all over the world to fight to preserve democracy
and then when he gets back home he can't even vote and can't
enjoy democracy in the sense that he has an equal chance with
Other equally qualified men to secure employment. Thai's utterly
inconsistent with democracy and with the freedom of a people
under a democracy ..... If the states would go ahead and do
it — if they would abolish the poll tax — it would probably be a
better thing, but, inasmuch as there is a group which won't do
it, you've got to consider from the broad, national standpoint
whether the National Government — m these states which—with
not do it — owes any duty to these people who are required to
fight for their country but cannot vote for it or take part with
equal opportunity in its economic life."
That, in the words of Vice-President, Barkley is what Clarence
Mitchell meant. We do not agree with him when he said this
time we are going to "drive a hard bargain." It is never hard to
ask for rights vouchsafe to one in the basic law of the land. Negroes 
are the only people in America fighting, paying and praying 
for Civil Rights. Foreigners, who have done absolutely nothing 
to make America strong come here and enjoy every right of a
citizen. But Negroes have got to fight every inch of the way and
that's not right. We will study long before we pledge allegiance
to any party this time.

A Message Of Courage
The executive editor of the Little. Rock, Arkansas Gazette,
Harry Ashmore, delivered a heart-warming message to the Southern 
Governors at Hot Springs Monday, warning southerners that
"some who cast themselves in the role of protectors of southern
institutions are the South's worst enemies."
It was a great and disturbing message to defenders of southern 
segregation. But it was no coincident. Arkansas, led by its
liberal Governor Sid McMath, is in the vanguard of southern
states seeking a more equitable and peaceful solution of the
white-Negro relationship. It was the first and only southern state
to voluntarily, without a court fight, open its doors of higher educational 
institutions to Negroes, Negroes and whites vote-together
without incident and with mutual acceptance. Step by step and
day by day the state is demonstrating in words and deeds that
southern justice can be fed to Negroes out of the same spoon
from which white citizens are fed without injury to either.
"All too often," said Mr. Ashmore, "segregation has meant
denial of essential human dignity to members of the Negro minority. 
We cannot continue to turn our backs upon justice simply
Because a black man is its victim, nor can we find a safe retreat
in the sort of legalistic buck passing that recognizes the existence
of an evil — but insists that it is somebody else's responsibility."
Those are great and challenging thoughts, even the Governors 
Conference cannot afford to ignore. It is a challenge, not
only to the Governors, but an equal challenge to liberal white
friends of the Negro who really mean and wish the Negro well
but who are too timid to stand up and be counted among their
people.
"Some who cast themselves in the rote of protectors of

Southern institutions are the South's worst enemies." Sheriffs who
take their Negro prisoners from jail and permit them to be killed
in transit, or in some instances, kill the Negroes themselves are
the South's worst enemies. Judges who refuse to measure justice
to the Negro but of the same spoon as they do for the whites, are
some of the South's worst enemies; governors who make the race
issue the subject on which to ride into political office. We cannot
keep on asking foe world recognition out of one corner of our
mouths and shout injustice, mob violence and segregation out of
the other. We congratulate Editor Ashmore and pray that others
will rise to the same moral courage to express their feelings that
others may know.



One Of The Finest, Smoothest Bonds Ever

HEADLINES & BYLINES
BY SILAS P. WASHINGTON

Good will is stronger than fight,
and it is, therefore, or untold
value in all human relations. An
example of this was brought forcibly 
to my attention down in Marshall, 
Texas many years ago. An
important-looking man in a stove
handed me a trousers-hanger and
asked: "Would you like that?"
Seeing that it was one of my
likings, I asked him how much did
it cost. He said in reply: "All we
want for that is
your good will 
and proceeded to
his other business. 
Every time
I looked at that
hanger. I was
reminded of that
mar smiling and
handing me that
hanger.
Another example 
of that
mind Back in 1945. a bus operate
and I had some difference of opinion 
over a transfer and the transfer 
point.
According to the instructions on
the back of the transfer, I reported, 
in writing, the circumstances to
the company instead of "having it
out" with the operator. The superintendent 
of transportation answered 
me, in part, as follows:
With reference to your letter of
December 11 advising that a Jackson-Lamar 
operator had refused to
accent your Chelsea-Florida transfer 
at 3rd and Vance about 11:50
p. m., December 9, 1945, wish to
be advised that our operator was
in error in refusing to accept your
transfer and we are sorry that you
were inconvenienced in the use of
out services This, matter has been
handled for Correction and we are
enclosing herewith a token and a
three-cent stamp to reimburse you
for the expenses incurred."
That reply showed that he had
good will for me, and that he was
desirous of mine.
Still another illustration presents 
itself. I boarded again, late
one night, a Chelsea-Florida bur,
at Main and Calhoun and learned
to my regret after I was aboard,
that I had only a five-dollar bill. I
told the operator that I would
either pay my fare and ride, if he
would change the five, or get off,
if he refused to do so.
He Sported "I'll give it to you
in pennies, nickels, and dimes." I
said quietly: "I'll take it anyway
you give it to me, because I should
not have gotten on with it."
"Without saying another word, he
took out his billfold, gave me as
many one-dollar bills as he had and
the rest in quarters, dimes nickels 
and only three pennies (a fare
was seven cents then).
Besides, he apologized for having
to give me as much small change
as he did. Good will engendered by
my attitude did. I believe, cause
him to change his.
I could go on and give in addition, 
many other examples of the
operation of the principle, but
three should enable you to understand 
what I have in mind.
Also, good will among groups, as
among individuals, is stronger than
fight We see a great deal in the
Negro press about. "Attacks." demands" 
and 'fights." and yet, we
see a very little about mutual
good will or the fostering of it
either, which is really stronger
than the rest.
Than is short-sighted; it is foolish: 
it is wrong. For, cooperation
is better than demanding. Please
consider that for a while.
Some will say (as indeed they
have already said to me) that idea
or plan requires too much time.
Contrary to what Rodgers, Dr.
Mays and some others may say or
write, time is a factor that must
be considered.
In fact, I can hardly conceive of
such well-educated people entertaining 
such erroneous ideas, when
all events of the universe attest
to the truth, that time is a determinant. 

In other words, there is a time
for all things and there is no way
of getting around it. Sometimes
prestige and reputation make us
get beside ourselves and become
pretty glib on all things whether
we are qualified to comment on

them or not.
Now, regardless of the time necessary, 
the right way must, in the
final analysis, be the way. Certainly, 
it does no good to strike until 
the iron is hot. Similarly, you
cannot make hay until the sun
shines (or the equivalent thereof).
In short, the proper time, whatever 
it is for any particular thing
must be accomplished for a stable
and balanced condition, in case you
have momentarily forgotten, all
things have to be stable and balanced 
to exist as is.
Buildings, to stand, must be in
equilibrium. Aircraft must be in
equilibrium or balanced to operate
properly. Society, likewise, must be
balanced to maintain itself without 
upheavals.
Finally, the maintaining and destcuctive 
forces of the human body
must be kept balanced for good
health. And, for all of these
things, where are their individual
times. Make no mistake about that
Again, this same principle of good
will operate among nations. Stetion 
"The Meaning of Hatred" in
the Commercial Appeal, November
12:
"The details are for the experts.
But the general purpose is clear
to give the moderate and rational
Egyptians, who exist and who are
our last hops here, some sense of
participation and self-respect."
The British have the military
might (for the present anyway);
yet, Alsop advocates winning the
minds of the Egyptians—that is
good will.
In conclusion, love, like light, is
positive and helpful whereas, hate
like tartness, is negative and detrimental. 
In like manner, good
will, like love, is positive and effective: 
whereas, fight, like hate,
is negative and damaging.
I am not permitted to take an
active part in politics. Hence, I
cannot discuss the recent election.
However, I am submitting without
comment two quotations:
"The number of Negroes who
actually vote in the thirteen distinctly 
Southern states is relatively 
small. The fact is that most
colored men and women in the
Southern states do not care a great
deal whether they vote or not.
When the Negro wage-earner or
small farmer realizes that in order
to qualify as a voter, he must pay
a poll tax (not a factor in last

week's election) he begins to lose
interest in the idea. The whole
question would soon cease to engender 
bitterness were it not
periodically stirred up by equalitarian 
crusaders of both colors. The
fifteenth amendment was adopted
at a time when emotion rather
than cool judgment controlled the
mind of the nation, and action
taken under such conditions rarely 
prove wise." The Government
of the United States by Munroe,
page 108.
"Dr. Walker's chances, depending 
all along on a strong Negro
vote in predominantly Negro precincts, 
faded as returns showed
just as much apathy in Negro
wards as in white Wards." Harry
Woodburn in The Commercial Appeal, 
November 9.

MEALTIME MELODIES!
BY GRACE WATSON
November brings to reign many
food favorites. Leading the foot
parade, of course, is the Thanksgiving 
turkey. Vying for second
place honors are golden mellow
pumpkin, spicy mincemeat, scarlet
cranberries and a variety of vegetables. 

It is only right that Thanksgiving 
should hold the limelight in
November; but there are twentynine 
other days in November when
meats have to be planned and
prepared.
Thanksgiving dinners may strain
he months food
budget. What's
more, Christmas
an't far behind,
 Thanksgiving
ome extra special 
planning. You
want to plan for
paring the food
budget without
poing good eating. 
Good eating,
of course, means
menus with appetite appeal as well
as good-for-you qualities.
One of the easiest ways, to accomplish, 
all of these aims—appetite 
appeal, fool value, economy,
ease of preparation—is to make use
of the foods on the November
plentifull list. The plentiful list
offers a wonderful variety of
foods with turkeys, all sizes, at the
top. Other foods are cranberries,
apples, processed citrus fruits, raisins 
and prunes, cabbage and cauliflower, 
and lots of fish, tuna, dry
beans, cottage cheese and tree
nuts.
Of course, on November 22. you
are probably planning a big turkey
dinner with all the trimmings.

Cardiospasm means tightening, or
closure, of the mouth of the stomach. 
This part of the gastric pouch
is called the cardiac valve because
it lies adjacent to the heart. It
has no relationship to heart disease 
even though the prefix 'cardio" 
is used.
Most victims of cardiospasm
complain of difficulty in swallowing. 
This condition may or may
not be aching, usually is located
near the lower end of the breastbone. 
The narrowed area is demonstrated 
easily via x-ray.
Cardiospasm is sometimes called
a disease of the frustrated. This is
not always true
but the disorder
acquires this reputation 
because
so many sufferers
have emotional
troubles. An analysis 
of one
group revealed
that the attack
generally followed 
a spell of resentment 
of anger 
directed toward 
a husband, wife, son, daughter-in-law 
or working conditions.
Others became ill subsequent, to
an injury, loss of funds or business, 
the death of a parent, or a
feeling of rejection. In addition,
spasm was worse when they became 
nervous or upset; at such,
times they were unable to swallow.
The symptoms disappeared when
tension lessened. Cardiospasm rarely 
is seen in happy contented, and
well adjusted persons.
Victims of intestional spasm can
boast of having many members in
their group who are overly conscientious 
and desirous to please and
appease every one. Those with cardiospasm 
have many personality,
factors in common with those of
a spastic bowel.
These individuals are perfectionists 
and are easily upset when
things are not Just so. They are
energetic until pain appears; then
they become submissive. Many
keep their feelings to themselves
and as a result appear to lead a
calm, well adjusted life. Apparently 
they have not safety valve to release 
the grievances that mount in
their system. Pent up emotions
play these tricks on their gastrointestinal 
tract.
Many physicians tackle the problem 
of cardiospasm from this point
of view. They know, however, that
other causes exist and request Xray 
and a more thorough study before 
going into the psychosomatic
aspect. Occasionally the spasm is
so severe that the lower part, at
the esophagus must be dilated mechanically. 
After this is done,
drugs are given to relax the affected 
parts.
Mrs. G. Writes: I am 67 years
old and have never been sick. Recently, 
while doing ordinary
housework, like sweeping the floor,
I became short of breath. Does this
mean that I should have my heart
examined?

going into the psychosomatic
aspect. Occasionally the spasm is
so severe that the lower part, at
the esophagus must be dilated mechanically. 
After this is done,
drugs are given to relax the affected 
parts.
Mrs. G. Writes: I am 67 years
old and have never been sick. Recently, 
while doing ordinary
housework, like sweeping the floor,
I became short of breath. Does this
mean that I should have my heart
examined?

SERMON
SENTENCES
This is a question every individual 
can answer for himself
alone—for he will know what he
has accomplished before becoming
grown.
2. Life is all too short to let the
youthful years flit away, then try
to catch up", with but a few years,
left on earth to stay.
3. It is then men try to fit two
years into one, which hastens
their end, ere a new day is begun.
4. That earnest soul needs not
to ask the question "What time
is it?" when into each daily obligation 
he tries fairly and squarely 
to fit.
5. Time however, will seem too
short to that soul who is trying
to be fair, and even for others at
the close of day an extra burden
is willing to hear.
6. Time is no worry to the man
who makes every man a brother
and would gladly do for one, what
he would do for another.
7. He does not lose his time
looking at a man's skin, but concerning 
himself only, with his
character within.
8. He takes time to be holy and
looks things squarely in the face;
Then takes special time to come

boldly to a throne of grace.
9 He also, if every, good thing,
with his neighbor is willing to
share, and would rather, lose, than
to be counted in any way unfair.
10. Time, to him, is just a sp
for embracing sinful, sick and unfortunate 
souls, and his joys are
multiplied when those are enabled
to reach their goals.
