Randolph Position is Sound
A. Phillip Randolph, International President of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, told an Atlanta audience 
Sunday afternoon that despite threats of Communist
infiltration, the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People is the greatest organization the American
Negro ever had.
We agree with him fully and would like to take the analysis 
a step further. Not only is the NAACP our strongest
and most courageous agency in the flight for democracy
and civil rights, it has been the rallying force around which
most of the other advances we made have been cemented.
Without the work of the NAACP across the past 40 year, it
is difficult to imagine what might be the place and plight of
Negroes in America today.
Yes, we are threatened with Communist infiltration.
That is true and has been true for many years, at least two
decades, to our own experience and knowledge. Nevertheless, 
Negroes have gone steadily on their way. except one
here and there, without paying any attention to the siren
song of the Communist. It is a remarkable tribute to the
leadership of the NAACP that Communists have been forced
to retreat whenever they attempted to infiltrate into the
NAACP. It is likewise a tribute to the Negro people themselves. 
Whatever is wrong with American democracy, and
we hold there is much that is, Negroes can work it out without 
the help of the Communists. And we have no fears that
Communists can change that

That's The Only Way Out
We like the courage and forthrightness with which the
editor of the Emory University Wheel, student publication,
approaches the question of admission of Negroes into that
and other institutions of the South, for graduate instruction 

The "separate and equal," concept, he said, is a, "gigantic 
falsehood." To equalize educational facilities between
white and Negro students, he reports, will require an
expenditure of $31,000,000 for each state in the South. And
accordingly, he suggests that "schools like Emory should offer 
graduate and professional work to Negroes on the selective 
basis.
We think that is a sound position and the only one
that can stand the light of logic before the courts of the
nation. The Human Marion Sweatt case rests squarely on
that position. In laying the groundwork for that suit, the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 
drew upon the wisdom and experiences of distinguished
law school and graduate school deans to ascertain if, in their
opinion, there could be any basic foundation to the doctrine
of "separate but equal." In every essential respect the testimony 
supported the theory that there can be no such thing
The University of Texas has admitted a Negro for
graduate instructions with provisions for him to study
across the street at the YMCA. But no court in the land, we
don't believe, would accept such an arrangement as equal
The plain truth is, the South is too poor to maintain separate
school systems

Hats Off To A Layman
Our editorial hat is off to that layman down in Atlanta,
Georgia, who is offering a copy of St. John's Gospel to any
Georgia boy or girl under fifteen. He writes in the Atlanta
Constitution: "More than 50 requests came last week.
several of them from colored children. If any colored boy

or girl should write, do not mention the fact that you are
colored. That makes no difference to me."
Christ must like that Now, if in addition to this bodyblow 
at racial discrimination, we can add a more widespread 
practice of what Jesus had to say in John, we'll be
getting somewhere.

Let's Have Sanity On The Campus
President Charles Wesley of Wilberforce State College 
accepted the recommendation of a faculty committee
and suspended the undergraduate chapters of Alpha Phi
Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternities from the campus
following the unmerciful beating of probates during what
these students describe as "Hell Week."
That's good sense, Mr. President. College students
ought to have more sense than that. And if they don't have
sense and moderation now, when and where should we expect
them to have it? No wonder so many well-meaning and
honest Americans criticise fraternities and sororities!

MALE CALL


GOSPEL CHORUS, USHER BOARD
OF MT. OLIVE CME CELEBRATE
Over one hundred members and
guests joined in to celebrate the
Twelfth Annual Banquet given by
the Gospel Chorus and Usher Board
of Mount Olive CME Church in the
dining room of the church Tuesday
evening, January 31.
The affair was given special importance 
by a well arranged musical
program featuring some of the most
talented .soloists of the city. Participants 
on the program included
Mrs. L. Hirsch of Olivett Baptist
Church; Lowal Preston Hughes of
Grady Chapel; Elis Williams of
Bloomfield. Mrs. Virginia Weeks
served as mistress of ceremonies.
The dining room was beautifully
decorated with Valentine shaped
hearts hung over head and draped
with long ropes of red and White
crepe paper. From these ropes were
suspended various quotations from
the Holy Bible.
Particularly impressive was the
parade of white coated waiters from
the Young People's Department
bearing plates of golden fried chicken, 
pattie shells filled with peas and
creamed mushrooms, a colorful pear
salad and all of the other trimmings
that go to make a delicious meal.
The nuts and candies only added to

the wonderful meal which was prepared 
by Mrs. Eulilla Holmes.
The party story would be incomplete 
without the names of the loyal
hard workers who contributed so
much toward making the affair successful. 
They were Mesdames T.
Franklin, D. Williamson, E. Harris,
W. C. Woods and Hunt who made
these delicious rolls.
In the absence of the pastor. Rev.
P. E. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks gave an
inspirational talk commending the
members for their fine work, attendance 
and good spirit established. 
This will serve as ground work
for the future progress of the organization. 

Miss Viola Flowers gave the response 
on behalf of the guests who
found it hard to decide which part
of the program they enjoyed most.
Several of the eldest members of
the church were honorary guests,
including Mrs. Irene Taylor of the
Church of God in Christ.
President Marable was very lovely
in black with a pink neckline and
a beautiful corsage. She was full of
smiles as everyone expressed their
enjoyment of the evening.
A vote of thanks is due the Boyd
Brothers who were ready at every

call and played an excellent part in
making the banquet an evening that
we shall always remember. Bruce
Boyd related some of the history of
the annual affair and thanked the
members for their cooperation in
putting this affair over.
Climaxing the evening and the
center of attraction was a table filled
with gifts which Mrs. Rubie
Boyd had wrapped and made more
beautiful. These presents were exchanged 
by members through the
drawing of names.
Mrs. Virrether Nabors also played
an important part by covering the
affair for the newspaper account.
In all, it was an unanimous decision
that the Twelfth Annual Banquet
will go down in the history of Mount
Olive.
