WISE Circulation Promotion SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper — non-sectarian and non-partisan, printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things it believes to be of interest to its readers and opposing those things against the interest of its readers. The President Receives His Portfolio Of Health It is gratifying to note that the real Eisenhower, the hero of many a battle is unleashed again for the last roundup on this battered campaign front. Just let loose from Walter Reid Hospital where he underwent a final checkup for his health, and with a nod of vigor, and towering strength, the President retakes the field again. Not only being fully pronounced by the team of doctors on the job as an excellent specimen of health, the President looked it as well as he enplaned for Jacksonville and Miami, Florida. The international situation prevented his trip here and to Texas. Now, already more favored as a winner, the real Eisenhower is plumed for the final entry into the triumph which destiny has set for him. Truly, he is a godsend to his generation and timed for this especial task which he has tackled with unusual success, his meeting of the rigid, test he selected to go through is hailed as an omen of victory. The nation with him rejoices in that he will be able to complete this memorable campaign and another four years of faithful service in the White House. Naturally the suspense awaiting the outcome of the checkup would be tense, notwithstanding the fact that such was merely formal, while the President looked and felt the picture of health when he entered the hospital. As he goes out in the completion of the task set before him, through which he has come so brilliantly thus for, he carries the best wishes of a notion. The country loves him and is looking to him as the strong defender of the faith. Hardly any President has carried with him such universal popularity. MEMPHIS POLICE ARROGANCE IS UNCALLED FOR AS IS BRUTALITY We are deeply disturbed by what appears to be an increased, unbecoming arrogance on the part of "Memphis' finest" in the matter of courteous treatment to their "bosses" the citizens of Memphis—Negro and or white. During recent weeks this newspaper, as well as other media of communications, have carried what we believe to be an alarming number of reports by the citizens of Memphis charging local police officers with being extremely overbearing and arrogant... sometimes to the needless extreme of brutality. We would remind our local police officers, including the Negro members of the force, that they are Servants of the public and not irreproachable masters. While in no wise suggesting that our local minions of the law be lax in the enforcing of their duties, we do suggest that carrying out the duties of the law does not call for disrespect of the rights of all citizens be they Negro or white. We hope that the police commissioner and police chief will constantly remind our police officers that it is not only their duty to protect the rights of all Memphis citizens, but also to respect these rights. (We also remind Memphis citizens to treat the policemen with equal courtesy. A "chip on the shoulder" attitude serves no useful purpose.) Arrogance on the part of both police and citizens is uncalled for and senseless. We Too, Must Carry Our Share Of Community Responsibility Citizenship privilege carries with it the correlating obligation of sharing in shouldering the responsibilities of the community. This is something we urge the Memphis Negro not to forget. There are indications that we seem to be forgetting this. Not only do we appear to be failing in shouldering our share of responsibility to the overall community, but also our share of responsibility to the so called "Negro community." We specifically refer to the current Community Chest fund drive and support of the Abe Scharff branch YMCA. With the exception of the Negro industrial worker the Memphis Negro is foiling to give the expected—and deserved, support to the Chest drive. It, of course, goes without saying that the Negro is the recipient of most of the services rendered by the agencies supported by the Community Chest. To not support the Chest by contributions representative of our numerical strength in the community we will stand indicted as being willing to accept handouts, but not carry our share of the load. Again, consider the Abe Scharff YMCA. This invaluable institution which is rendering a needed service in molding our youth toward useful fives is now operating at a deficit because of our apparent lock of support. We are ashamed to even point out that this deficit is caused by our censurable failure to raise the picayune 1956 quota of less than $7,000. Let's wake up and face up to our responsibility to the community. Citizenship costs! Let's prove that we deserve to be called responsible citizens of our community. MEALTIME MELODIES!

LETTERS TO THE Dear Sir: An artcile appeared in the TriState Defender dated Saturday. October 27, bating that the park commission had approved a change of name of Beale Avenue Park to Church Park and that Matthew Thornton Mayor of Beale Street and Dr. Thomas H. Watkins work ed on the project to have it changed. Many of my friends cannot understand this and have asked me to make a statement contrary to this. Several telephone calls have come to my home telling me they thought. I had put the movement over. Now the Mayor of Beale Street himself has authorized me to say that he knows nothing of Dr. Watkins being on his committee, nor anything Dr. Watkins did to help put this movement over, and I don't know myself how Dr. Watkins got on the committee. The Mayor once got back at me because he thought I had brought Dr. Watkins in it. The movement started long years ago when Thornton told Rubert R. Church he was going to try to get the name changed. He took it up with Mayor Tobey and Mr. Tobey promised he would have it changed, but Mr. Tobey died two weeks later. Then he went to Mr. Orgill. He had spoken to Mr. Chandler and other men of influence but to no avail. So finally Mr. Thorton organized a committee composed of himself Fred L. Hutchins Dr. J. J. Warr and Z. L. Ponner. He tried to get our first meeting with Mr. Lewis, Superintendent of the Park Commissioners in May, just before I retired but to no avail after which Mr. Bonner dropped ff the committee. Later one of Mr. Thomton's white friends — a City Commissioner, suggested circulating a petition Well we put in money for expense Dr. Warr giving the first dollar for stamps stationery, typing etc. Dr. Watkins wasn't thought of and hasn't put in one cent. Now Mr. Thornton empowered me to get up the petition and act as secretary. I worked night alter night getting the petition together writing letters after letters to Washington to Miss Church for information she had. Air Mail and Air Mall Specials were 6 and 26 cents each Well when the Misses Church came to Memphis in August, Miss Roberta typed the petition and clamped it together with a lot of Photostat Miss Annette had made while in Memphis. All the time, I was Betting the petition together we used a hand-written short petition to get up the names, which 3 people to sign, because it wasn't typewritten, but the other 1700 did. Now Miss Annette asked me it I could give Dr. Watkins a petition as he said he could get up a lot of names. I went out and took him a petition Dr. Watkins rewrote the petition just as I had it with the exception of the last line which was all right. Well, he signed his name on the petition first, Mr. Thornton's name second and then his wife's name and, on another he signed Thornton's name first, his name second, and then his wife's, leaving out the rest of the committee. Well the petition had already been made up and signed by the committee, Mr. Thornton called me to come to his home and gave me the papers and said Dr. Watkins said by the way it ought to be. Well Dr. Watkins got up 63 names on his petition and turned them over to me at the first meeting of the commissioners, when there was no quorum and we met the park commissioners again on October 4. and Dr. Watkins came there with his names he had gotten up and would not turn them in to me. None of us knew what he intended to do with the names. While I was in Detroit, he came to my house and pot the 63 names he had given me. Well Mr. Thornton and I went to Mr. Loeb's office and he gave is the names of the five Park Commissioners. Then I called on them, one by one and explained the situation and they gave me their support. When we met them, I read the petition to the commissioner and before I could finish, they stopped me and a motion was passed that the former names of the park be restored. Now if anybody will tell me what Dr. Watkins has done to put this thing over. I will tell you. He hasn't turned in one name, hasn't talked to one commissioner and hasn't paid one penny of the expense. Mr. Thornton is dumbfounded as how Dr. Watkins got on his committee. Dr. Watkins is a fine man and has a fine family and fine wife One of the best, but none of us know how he got into this Church Park Movement I gave him a petition just as I did 10 other people but none of the others put themselves on the committee. They all simply turned in their petitions to me. I have the petition that went to the park commission which is signed by the committee. Thornton-Hutchins and Warr and can show it to anyone. Mr. Thornton will supply anyone with information if they will call him. JAckson 5-3671. I want it to be known the incaption of this whole program is Mr. Thornton's and he deserves high credit for it. Let us all give it to him. Fred L. Hutchins. COMPLETE COMMITTEE IN NAME CHANGE Dear Sir: An artcile appeared in the TriState Defender dated Saturday.

WILBURN Attorney and Counsellor at Law 322 1/2 Beale Street Last week a criminal court jury acquitted a man tried on a charge of assault and battery with intent to criminally assault a Negro school teacher as the man who grabbed her and later fled in a pick-up truck; only part of the license num ber of the truck was secured. The charge was denied, his alibi: he was at the home of his step-son at the time the act took place. The outcome of this case illustrates the necessity of alertness and responsiveness to justice in a community, Too often the wheels of justice are made difficult to turn because of lack of alertness. Inability to discover and relate obvious and distinguishing characteristics quickly and under pressure give the state little with which to fight and convince juries. In some cases, individuals, in possession of all of the facts and in position to give all the essentials, deny the truth of matters known to them simply because they are not personally involved and desire not to have to attend a court of law. In criminal cases a conviction can not be had unless the state proves its case against the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. To achieve this, the atorney general and his staff must have the necessary cooperation from citizens who desire that the community be kept clean. Those at the scene of a crime should come forward when requested to do so. Public apathy to justice can only result in chaos and disorder. We must do our part by being alert and responsive.

Mass Arrests price. Complaints filtering into the Independent Call prompted me to journey to the Knox County Workhouse and talk with a few of these men to get their story as to whether they felt they had been treated unjustly. Reverend Frank Gordon and I arrived at the institution about 4 p. m. on Friday, Oct. 26. We entered the office and inquired for the superintendent. When told that we were talking to the superintendent we explained our mission and were led to the register where the record of each prisoner is kept. There we found countless prisoners registered on the 19th of October with the most of them charged with loitering. We explained that we would like to talk to some of these men, also that rumors were being circulated that the arrests were a planned mass movement and we wanted to see how the fellows felt about it. We were led through corridors and cell blocks that were spotlessly clean and freshly painted; we were shown the delousing room and equipment where every prisoner must pass through before he is placed in the common cell. Finally we arrived at a cell block and the names of all men which had been taken from the register were called out. When they appeared we were all led to a small chapel and conference room where we were invited to take seats. The guard who had escorted us left with instructions to call the turn-key when we were ready to leave. This room too was spotlessly clean and freshly painted. The men gathered around us and we explained our mission and asked them to speak freely about their arrests and imprisonment. Whether the charges were justified and if they felt they were given a fair trial. Ben Kelly Moore of 19 D. Paschal Drive, Lonsdale Home Ben, a slight built man of about 35 years of age spoke up. "I was walking down Central Avenue headed for the Labor Temple.. I am an AF of L. Union man to see if they had work for me. . . . I last worked for Gilbert Plaster Co. A. police stopped me and asked where I worked ...when I said I was out of work he put me in the car and I was tried, sentenced and sent here I have a wife and three children one a small baby boy .. I do not have a phone and my wife doesn't know where I am." Ambuster Smith of 615 Patterson Street Ambuster, a medium sized man, probably 55 years of age said, "I last worked for Wilson Contracting Co. I had received a card from Mr. Benn at the State Employment office. I was waiting for a bus to go to Chapman Highway to work with a pipe contractor. A policeman called me to his car put me in and carried me along with others to jail this was about 7:00 a. m." Harvey Jones of 1605 McCalla Avenue Harvey is a big man, weighs about 200 pounds and looked to be about 60 years of age. He said, "I work with Roy Martin of 1005 University Avenue, Mr. Martin operates a dray truck. We move people and handle all of Ooverton's Home and Office Supply Company's hauling. I had left home early in order to contact a plumber for my landlady. As I turned off Jackson Avenue on to Central Avenue a police car drove up along side of me and told me to get in. This was 7:10 a. m. .... now I find myself out here.. I hardly know what happened." There were James Young, Pat Carter, Amos Winder, and many others with the same story. Then here was Johnny Ghromley, a fine speciman of a man only 31 years of age, but with the mind of a child . a mind seriously damaged in World War II. Johnny should have been in in institution for the feeble minded. His only crime was standing on Central Avenue waiting for someone to come along and give him a few hours of work. WOMAN POWER FOR EISENHOWER SPEAKS On the eve of the forthcoming National Election November 6, we are urged to speak out-because the destiny of true democracy of America and the World is at stake. Our leadership in world affairs can be sustained only in proportion to our ability to portray deeds supporting our expressed ideals. We will be judged as a nation, not by what we say, but by what we do. As we approach the election, we recount the record of the present administration and conclude that under President Dwight D. Eisenhower great progress in the affairs of the nation and the world has been made. Having ended the Korean War, there was anticipated a depression in the change from a War time to a peace time economy. But no depression has been experienced on the American scene—rather has there been established a sound security, resulting in the largest number of employed American citizens in the history of the life of the country. The administration has recognized that the country would continue to be lame and limp until the full strength of all its potentials was unleased. The potentials lie within the latent, innate abilities of all of its subjects regardless to race or color or religious belief. The administration recognized the damning and deadening effects of Second Class Citizenship, conscious that until all are free, none are free. The Administration is well aware that education is basic to the rise of a nation. That knowledge is power. It has therefore through its Supreme Court, provided that education in America supported by the Local, state or nation shall be measured upon equal consideration to every American subject without discrimination. This pronouncement automatically elevated the Negro into a new status and has given the Negro a new sense of belonging, a new experience of personal human dignity never realized before. This administration under the banner of the Republican policy stands for Civil Rights for the Negro, and as well continued Civil Rights for others. Who could ask for more. These Civil Rights are in question under the leadership of the Democratic Party whose members produced and publicly signed the Southern Manifesto, promising to deprive the Negro of every human civil liberty. We therefore, pledged ourselves to work for a Second Term for President Eisenhower. We will vote for him ourselves and urge everyone with whom we have influence to do the same. Go to the polls on November 6 and vote the straight Republican ticket which will return Dwight D. Eisenhower to the White House and elect for us Three Negroes to the State Legislature and House of Representatives. Mrs. Rosa Bracy Haynes, Chairman; Mrs. R. Q.

The Democratic platform, he asserted, "is not a declaration of principle — it is a document of deceit." Nixon argued that President Eisenhower has provided more jobs at better pay; ended segregation in the armed services and discrimination in the Nation's Capital, and banned "jim crow" signs in interstate transportation and the "legal end of segregation. Nixon addressed an estimated 3,000 persons in Detroit's Ford Auditorium at noon Wednesday. The Vice-President conferred by telephone with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams and White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty before issuing his blast at Stevenson. Nixon did not specify what words of Stevenson's prompted his counter-attack, but said the Democratic presidential nominee's Tuesday night Philadelphia speech was a "shabby episode in American political history. He challenged Stevenson again to tell the nation "what he would do in the Near East that the Eisenhower administration is not doing." Nixon drew scattered boos when his motorcade moved from his hotel to the auditorium, where he made a pitch for Michigan's labor vote. Apparently appealing to the heavy Polish-Hungarian population in the auto center, Nixon said Stevenson's election would "throw a bucket of sold water" on the hopes of satellite peoples who seek freedom from Russia. Be predicted that the revolts to Poland and Hungary, and the new Egyptian crisis "will inevitably increase support for President Eisenhower." Lashing out at Stevenson, Nixon said: "At a time when all Americans should be presenting a united front to the world he deliberately attempted to inflame passions at home and abroad by his thoughtless, intemperate remarks. "It is apparent that Mr. Stevenson in his comments on the Near East situation is being a politician first and a statesman second." 3 Nations In French command, "strictly limited their operations to military targets, principally airfields, and the civilian population has been warned to keep clear before the operations started.")
