Name The New Project
Mayor Thornton's Homes
It would indeed be stimulating to the citizenry of Memphis,
and particularly to the younger people to have the new housing
Protect named for an outstanding character of our Race—who still
lives. The unoffocial title "Mayor of Beale Street", which with
pride the people of Memphis bestowed upon Matthew Thornton,
Sr., apparently has been well earned. He-the man of BEALE
STREET has walked in such a manner that neither foe, nor loving
friend can hurt him. He will celebrate his 80th birthday on the
18th day of May. Sixty-six years he has spent in Memphis and
has constructively contributed to the development of a City of
which we are all justly proud.
A new precedent will not be set to name CITY PROJECTS on
behalf of LIVING PERSONS. We have Crump Boulevard, named
for E. H. Crump. We have Blair T. Hunt Gymnasium and a street
as well, named for Blair T. Hunt, still living—distinguished Educator 
and Mason Street, named for Bishop Mason. The naming of
the New Housing Project for Mayor Matthew Thornton Sr., whose
life and character has been outstanding for 66 years here in Memphis. 
His name is a household word directing toward better days.
At 80 years of age he is physically blind but mentally alert with
spiritual insight to the PROBLEMS OF TODAY which gives hope and
courage to all for a greater tomorrow.
If you think well of naming the Housing Project for Matthew
Thornton, speak up now and express yourself."
The Memphis World welcomes comment from its readers on
naming the new Housing Project the Mayor Thornton's Homes or
Matthew Thorton's Homes" write us your letters now expressing
your views.

"Two Chickens In Every Pot"
Out of the chaos of inflation monstrosity, mink-coat debacle
and the sounding of brass promises, the people of this country
made a desperate rush last November to the tune of Dewey's old
slogan — "It's time for a change."
While the Republicans have been in power only a few
Months, there has not been forthcoming any substitute to take
the place of "unemployment, which will certainly follow as a
natural sequence to the cutting off of thousands from the government 
payrolls and other attendant facilities.
Under the present agenda of a new day and era, the American 
people are in a great stride of modern equipment and sundry
gadgets; home building at a never heard of before cost is in a
boom, automobile buying is at an all time high and homes are
being modernized with every equipment essential to labor saving 
and comfort.
These things were entered into in keeping with steady employment, 
and good wages.
Everyone knows that when the income of a people is cut off
entirely, with sundry debts staring them in the face, hysteria is
bound to come.
It was thought in the face of the promise of the administration 
to cut taxes, reduce governmental expenses by cutting down
excess overhead, that there must have been in the minds of the
administrators some scheme to take up the slack that would
naturally follow in a buying power handicapped with unemployment. 

If this is not forthcoming, the administration will be faced
with pulling rabbits from a hat, or utter desperation such as foreran 
the panic of a generation ago, when trade ran on a "dog eat
dog" basis and our economics were forced into a cut throat dilemma. 

With people losing their jobs every day in cantonments and
munition plants, with the charge and counter charge of shortage
in ammunition in Korea where our boys are dying every day,
the Republicans should find no comfort in turning loose in the
streets armies of labor, with heavy obligations on their shoulders,
and a recollection of that same party's swan song which rang to
the tune of "Prosperity around the corner and "two chickens in
every pot."

Along The Colonial Front
How much
longer will men, women and tiny
Children have to be killed, starved
herded into crowded reserves, hunt
ed like animals and forced into the
evil-slums of Nairobi and other
centers simply because Britain can
not handle her colonial problems?
The news came last week or another 
massacre by Mau Mau. The
full score of dead and wounded is
not yet available but it may be as
high as 400 or as low as 200.
One would be ton high a score
The Manchester Guardian in a
leading article confirms what I
have written so often. The article
ends as follows:
Two more British battalions will
Start by air for Kenya next week.
But it is not just a question of how
many troops are there but of how
they are used Unless troops uplice
and African auxiliaries can work of
fectively 
together the Mau Mau
movement will persist like fire in
the peat."
The Kenya Weekly News" (quoted 
by the Manchester Guardian)
says:
"Reports still persist of muddle
and inefficiency in the battle
against Mau Mau—It is a tale of
waste of money and of opportunities; 
of lack of a common policy
and of over-all direction; of square
pegs in round holes; of highly-paid
"dug-outs" in jobs for which they
are no longer mentally or physically 
well-equipped-a tale which leads
always to the conclusion that there
will be no end to the business with
out a radical change of policy and
of practice."
Two police officers speak the
Mikuyu language, so an ex-Inspector-General 
of Colonial Police asserts. 
I eay that unless the White
police and troops officers who are
heading the operation can speak

Kikuyu fluently they will never
quell the movement. I speak from
many years of experience of Tebellons, 
war and underground movements 
in Various parts of Africa
and from a long study—from 1899
until today— of African problems
and Africa's viewpoints and aims.
And I spoke several languages fluently 
and lived for many years
among the tribes.
During two world wars we lost
thousands of men killed and wound
ed in Africa because we were leadby 
fools who did not understand
Africa or the Africans' viewpoints.
The worst bugler was probably
General Smutsr who proved General
Both's observation—"You know you
are no general, Jannie" to be correct. 

There were others, to, like Brigadier 
General Rose, who threw
away liyes on one of my plantations 
because he did not know the
land and would not listen to me
who had lived for years on the
plantation and knew every foot of
the land around. Again we have
seen generals and Sir Percy Sillitoe
head of M. I. 5, Britain's most hush
hush Secret Service, go out and
advise and come back and say all
will be well. And again it is not all
well.
There is a way to end this killing, 
starving, herding and hunting
of men, women and children.
But the greed of white Britishers
backed by the greedy big business
tycoons of Wall Street prevents
that way being used. How long will
we have to wait before the evil is
ended?.

Capital Spotlight
Strange as it may appear, probably 
more colored lawyers served as
assistant United States attorneys
under Harry M. Daugherty, who
Was Warren K. Harding's Attorney
General, than under any other Attorney 
General in the history of the
country.
Daugherty, who was, the Attorney
General at the time Albert B. Fall,
then Secretary of the Interior, accepted 
a $100,00 bribe from Edward
L. Doheny in the leasing of the Elk
Hill naval oil reserve, appointed
colored lawyers as assistant United
States attorneys in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Cleveland, Chicago
and Cincinnati.
He appointed Perry W. Howard,
the Mississippi Republican National 
Committeeman, as special assistant 
to the Attorney General at a
salary of $5,000 a year, which was
big money in those days, and later
upped his pay to $6,000. He also
appointed Louis Mehlinger as an
attorney in the Justice Department. 

Prior to Howard's appointment in
1921, there had not been a colored
lawyer employed in the Justice Department 
since William H. Lewis
of Boston had served as an Assistant 
Attorney General during the
Taft Administration.
Ever since Howard's appointment
theer have been colored lawyers

in the Justice Department—Menlinger 
until his retirement last year,
the late Robert L. Vann, Bertram
(Slim) Hamilton of Pittsburgh,
William L. Houston, and Maceo
Hubbard in the civil rights section
of the criminal division. Hubbard
is highly regarded throughout the
Justice Department. There are
three or four other colored lawyers
presently employed in the Justice
Department, all, including Hubbard,
appointed under Democratic Attorneys 
General.
There are 1,196 United States attorneys 
and assistant United States
attorneys, and the Justice Department 
is asking Congress for money
for twenty-six additional positions,
twenty-one of them assistant United 
States attorneys.
A job as assistant United States
attorney is nothing to brag about.
Pay runs from about $4,200 to about
$8,300. But the work is good training 
for young lawyers, who wish to
gain experience and then build up
lucrative private practices.
Appointments as assistant United
States attorneys are excepted from
the competitive civil service—they're 
patronage jobs pure and simple.
All an aspiring young lawyer, needs,
is recommendations from the right
people.
If you are a member of the bar
and interested, here are a few
spots:

UNITED NATIONS NEWS
Secretary General Trygve
Lie's policy of dismissing members
of his Secretarait who were thought
to be Communist or subversive, was
attacked by the Byelo-Russian delegate, 
Kuzma V. Kisselev, as illegal
intimdating and designed to rid the
staff of "progressive" elements. In
the second day of debate on personnel 
policy. Mr. Kisselev—the
first Soviet speaker—used the discussion 
for a verbal assault on Mr.
Lie, who has been boycotted by
the Soviets since the outbreak of
the Korean war.
The several other speakers were
almost wholly sympathetic with Mr.
Lie's policy, but stressed the need
for the complete independence of
the Secretary General in matter of
hiring and dismissing. Sir Percy
Spender of Australia, said no employee 
should be dismissed at the
"mere request" of a country where
the UN is operating, but that the
UN should make its own decisions,
based on evidence submitted to it
by member governments.
SECRETARY GENERAL — The
five permanent Security Council
members—United States, France,
Russia, China, and Great Britain—
held another closed conference and
failed to agree on a candidate to
suceed Secretary General Trygve
Tie, It was reported that Russia
wished to nominate Iranian delegate 
Nazrollah Entezam, but was
hesitant because he probably would
not get many votes. Recently, Russia 
nominated Indian delegate, Mrs.
Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, against her

will. She received only two votes
and Russie received her displeasure.
SOUTH AFRICA — Assembly
President Lester B Pearson announced 
two substitute appointments 
to the three-man commission
assigned by the Assembly to study
South African policy of racial seg-.
regation. Since Dr. Ralph Bunche,
UN Trusteeship Director, could not
be spared from his regular work,
he was replaced by Dantes Bellegarde 
of Haiti. Jaime Torres. Bodet 
of Mexico, who was unable to
serve, was replaced by Henri Laugier 
of France, former UN Assistant
Secretary General. Hernan Santa
Cruz of Chile, is the third member
of the group, which will meet soon
in Geneva.
WOMEN — A resolution expressing 
"keen disappointment at the
exceedingly small number of women
occupying senior and policy-making
positions in the Secretariat of the
UN and in the specialized agencies,
and the fact that no upward trend
has been discernible" in recent
years, Was introduced by delegates
from the Dominion Republic and
Venezula in the Commission on the
status of women.
GENOCIDE — Rafael Lemkin,
author of the genocide convention
announced that officers of the Polish-American 
Congress had urged
President Eisenhower, to seek Senate 
ratification of the convention
"so that it may be used as a valid
legal instrument in the struggle for
survival of nations and religious
groups."

"Fret Not Thyself." Don't get
dangerously hot about things. When
you get hot you lose your head
When you lose your head, you lose
your battle.
Keep Cool We are God's greatest 
machine. A most intricate machine 
fretting gets our bearings
hot. Don't have a hot-box. When
the axles on the wheels of a locomotive 
get hot there is danger
Fretting is the heating of the
axles of our life. Sometimes we
say, "didn't he get hot over it?."
Yes, it is the dangerous heat of the

axles.
When the axles of the wheel get
hot it is because of needless friction. 
When we get fretful it is because 
of needless friction. Then, it
is, we have not got the saving oil
of salvation.
When we fret, something has
gotten into our bearings. Some disappointment, 
some ingratitude,
some impatience, some falsehood.
There is friction (another word for
"fret"). Heat is begotten and with
this heat a perilous situation is
formed.
Fretfulness leads to the greeneyed 
monster jealousy. Be Zealous
but don't be jealous. One is fervor,
the other is fever. Fretfulness begets 
envy and anger. Men and women 
fret themselves because of
evil-doers and the end thereof is
that they become evil-doers themselves. 
Fretfulness is a disease, A
cancerous disease.
Is there a cure? Yes, there is a
ure Fretfulness is earthy the cure
is heavenly Here is the prescripton: 

I "trust in the Lord".. believe
in God's fidelity... cast your
cares upon God Remember, even
though things may seem to be
against you. God is working with
you.
II "Delight thyself also in the
Lord" a beautiful expression! another 
translation is: "seek for the
delicacies in the Lord." Too often,
we eat the crumbs from the Lord's
table, and don't take time to eat
the delicacies from the Lord's table.
You haven't as yet eaten of God's
best. When we eat of God's best
fretfulness will suffocate.
"Ill, "commit thy way unto the
Lord." What does the Psalmist
mean by "the way?" Any road we
have to travel; any holy purpose,
any noble aspiration, any worthy
duty, commit them to God. Don't
walk the road alone. If you do,
fretfulness will over take you. But
if you walk in the company of
God's only begotten Son. Jesus. The
Christ, you then will have a peace
that passeth understanding...
and the heat and fever of passion,
the heat and fever of Jealousy, the
heat and fever of envy, the heat
and fever of anger... will become 
the fervor of an undying devotion. 

IV "Rest In The Lord."
"Trust in the Lord... delight in
the Lord... commit unto the

Lord... then Just rest in the
Lord... and don't fret This is
God's prescription for the fretfulness 
of humanity.

the appearance of your business 
and your business will improve
... Statistics prove that the Negro 
consumer wants quality and no
quantity at a fair trade price...
He is willing to pay for what he

SENTENCE
SERMON
1. Some seem not to know that
to follow Christ, He must lead, and
His Way we must go.
2. His is a leadership second to
none, for He knows every step of,
the way; He made every hill and
valley and everything must His will
obey.
3. His knowledge, no one can
question — His experience has no
parallel since His birth; He is the
King of Heaven—the Master, of all
things in the earth.
4. Who would not venture to
follow Him who put everything in

its place— the Alpha and Omega;
the successful trainer of every man.
5. He is the only one sinner can
folow to find he is out of step; the
only one the Christian can, and
must follow, to make sure the ten
commandments are kept.
6. And if and when, an unsaved
soul decides to follow Christ, the
gift is then first realized for which
He paid the utmost price.
7. In following Christ there will
be some shadows and terrific storms
met on the way; but He the Master
of wind and tempest Won't let
them too long stay.
8. Satisfaction here, and unending 
joys to follow, are the benefits
of His eternal guarantee to all
who will forsake their evil ways
and say "yes I will follow Thee.'
9. Nothing then to fear—no
cause to worry —it is God who
goes before; yea no more impenetrabe 
obstructions, but to every
problem an open door.
10. This is the assurance every
creature enjoys who decides to follow 
Christ; things change so
quickly and miraculously, one wondres 
why he didn't choose this way
first.
11. If a man would look as often 
into the face of Christ as he
does this conspicuous wrist-watch,
he would save not only a lot of
time, but many a blemish and
blotch.
12. Many penny-wise and pound
foolish folks are making this careless 
though costly mistake, letting
Christ's 'Follow me" go unheeded,
but enticed by Satan's trickery and
fake.

FOLLOWING CHRIST
1. Some seem not to know that

creature enjoys who decides to follow 
Christ; things change so
quickly and miraculously, one wondres 
why he didn't choose this way
first.
11. If a man would look as often 
into the face of Christ as he
does this conspicuous wrist-watch,
he would save not only a lot of
time, but many a blemish and
blotch.
12. Many penny-wise and pound
foolish folks are making this careless 
though costly mistake, letting
Christ's 'Follow me" go unheeded,
but enticed by Satan's trickery and
fake.

FOR WOMEN
When bobbed hair first startled
the civilized world, alarmists said
that, when pigtails came in fashion
again hair would have changed
materially in texture because of the
cutting. It would be coarser, stiffer,
dryer and lack luster.
Nothing like that has happened,
despite the frequency of permanents, 
at least not to those women
who have have given their hair
the care that it is due. Neglect
of course, means that the growth
will be dull and lifeless. Good groom
ing creates gloss and removes dead
shafts.
One of the firm laws of nature
is to exact a toll for neglect of any
beauty item. The hair is in nowise
exempt. The wave set is often responsible 
for neglected hair brushing. 
Women fear to pass the bristle
through the wave pattern, lest it
weaken and evaporate before the
next date at the beauty parlor.
That is a mistake. Brushing, when
done briskly, will have a stimulating
effect upon the shafts, the roots of
which get food and drink from the
blood streams. The scalp, as well as
as the silky tresses, should be
kept in a healthy condition.
Next to lack of brushing, the
common foe is the careless shampoo. 
Cleanliness is essential; the
period between shampoos should
not exceed a fortnight. But, when
the washing does not completely

remove, the shampoo agent, be it a
liquid soap or cream, the growth is
left in anything but a healthy condition. 
Scalp and hair are coated
with soap scum. The permanent
loses it coal quality.
A tendency to dryness can be
overcome by the use of brilliantine
Rub a little on the scalp when the
hair has dried after the shampoo.
Put some on the comb and the
bristles of the brush. Dry hair and
dry complexions are usually twin
sisters.
Excessively oily hair needs a
weekly washing. One should experiment 
with shampoo mediums, ac
one may give better results than
another. There should be three applications 
of liquid soap, as many
rinsings with a bath spray and a
strong current of water. A lemon
rinse is a help. Fill the washbowl,
and three tablespons of strained 
lemon juice, or an equal amount
of vinegar. Pour it over the head,
then use the spray again.
The girl who can wear straight
hair has wonderful advantage; she
saves on the beauty over head. But
there are few of her Many girls,
and nearly all middle-aged women,
look better with their faces framed 
with soft waves and end curls.
