SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The Golf Incident Memphis has been saddled, during the past few weeks, with unfortunate, uncalled for incidents that have severly damaged harmonious race relations that are so needed in these trying times! The subject is, of course, the question of Negro usage of one of the so called city "white" (there is much that could be said on this point, but it is better to limit this discussion to this particular phase) golf courses. The incidents? We are of course referring to the mounting racial tensions created by the handling of the issue. We said earlier in this piece, and reiterate here, that the incidents were unfortunate and uncalled for. The whole thing, we feel, could hove easily been avoided if the city administration had firmly settled the issue when it first confronted them. The blame for the creating of uncalled for tensions rests squarely on the shoulders of the Mayor and other commissioners! For if these men responsible for directing the affairs of our city had first, either positively or negatively, in a firm manner, disposed of the subject when it came before them, we honestly believe that the subsequent unfortunate incidents that arose would not have come up! Interposition As It Really Is The doctrine of "Interposition" which many so called southern leaders have been advocating and rallying to as a means of circumventing the Supreme Court's public school decision was shown up for what it really is. and, ironic enough, by an official of a state which first rallied to interposition. In Richmond, Va., this week that state's Atty. Gen. J. Lindsay Almond Jr., explained that Virginia's resolution of interposition "has no binding force on any branch of the federal government." Atty. Gen, Almond went on to say that the resolution's "Solemnity, gravity and patriotism of purpose should give pause and invoke deliberate consideration at the hands of every branch of the federal government dedicated to a union indissoluble and composed of indestructible states." In short, what Mr. Almond really said, we believe, is that as a legal document interposition has no stature but only represents a statement by a particular state that it does not agree with the Supreme Court's decision. The same can be said of the doctrine of nullification! Republicans Have Edge In Presidential Race If Eisenhower Refuses To Run, Says AFL-CIO Executive Committee The AFL-CIO executive merged committee, in winter session at Miami, Florida this week, gave to the press a statement that if Eisenhower refuses to sun for president the Republicans would have an edge in the presidential race. They based their conclusion on these facts: "This confidential report from AFL-CIO political experts said that even if Eisenhower chooses not to run for another term this fall, the Republicans will have an edge in the presidential race. The appraisal is largely based on a conclusion that Eisenhower's spending recommendations amount to a shift in Republican party character to provide more appeal for city voters." The joint statement coming from the political action committee of the AFL-CIO labor committee was somewhat of a shock, in that the general public had been led to believe that the merger of the two major labor organizations in the United States, the AFI and the CIO, merged for one specific purpose and that was to defeat the Republican candidate for president, notwithstanding the fact that Eisenhower would be the candidate. But their statement alleges that even if Eisenhower refuses to run, the Republicans would have the edge in the presidential fight this Fall. That, of course, is bad news for the hopefuls of the Democratic party. The Democrats have troubles of their own in their own ranks. They are split wide open on civil rights. Now, if they lose even half or 40 per cent of organized labor support they will have no more chance to elect a Democratic candidate for president this Fall than a snowball would have in a fiery furnace. It is conceded that Eisenhower's services and accomplishments have been so outstanding that it would require a miracle to defeat him if he elects to run and Mr. Hall, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, has stated all along that Mr. Eisenhower and Nixon would be the Republican standard bearers in 1956 The type of statement given to the press by the giant political action committee of the big labor unions must have been a distinct shock to those of the Democratic faith who hope to elect a president of the United States this year. Some may say that the top brass of the labor organizations can't control all the membership of the organization .That is true, but I don't think anybody will doubt that the big bosses of labor are not in an influential position since they ore the direct representatives of labor dedicated to the proposition of making things better for union members. Of course that is good news for the Republicans. But I hope the Republicans will not allow this type of publicing coming from a big labor organization to lull them to sleep if they do, they may find themselves in the same position that the Republican candidate for president in 1948 found himself when practically all of, the poll makers, news analysts, and astute political leaders were in agreement that the Republican candidate would win easily because of the unpopularity of the Democratic candidate. Thus the Republicans will not allow this type of publicity coming from a the smoke of battle was cleared away they sadly realized that their candidate was defeated. Save A Life This Weekend The last few week-ends have shown a definite cutdown in our highway accidents. But this was to' be marred with the usual high toll last Friday through Sunday because of the heavy fog prevailing in this section of the country. The planes took no chances with the acute smog situation, by curtailing their services. But the highway travel must continue through all sorts of weather. Hence its toll for the last week-end assumed its normal climb. We still contend that one highway accident is one too many; that more caution exercised on the highways would greatly enbance the safety of those who must travel. While safe-driving day itself had its hazards there is no inclination in letting up in our occasional admonitions in an effort to build up a spirit Of road safety consciousness. A continued ham-. enering away to the end of creating a safe-driving spirit must be adherred to in order that we may realize the goal we set out to reach. Coming to another weekend let it be hoped that every driver makes these safe-driving day; that the rear mirror be used as well as the highway before, and by driving for those behind as well as those in front, there are no reasons why the current alarm ing highway toll should not be lessened. We shall continue on this front in doing our portion of lifesaving and if only one is saved, the effort will have been repaid. So save a life this weekend. RALPH BUNCHE, WILLIE MAYS PRAISE ALABAMA U.

Prayer To Replace Speakers At Miss. U. The University of Mississippi announced it will substitute 30 minutes prayer periods to replace Religious Emphasis Week speakers most of whom canceled their engagements in portest of the University's attempt to control one speaker's anti-segregation views and speeches. The controversy began when officials of the university withdrew their speaking invitation to. Rev Alvin Kershaw an Oxford, Ohio Episcopal minister. The action was taken because Rev. Kershaw contributed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a substantial sum of money he won as an expert on jazz on a nationally televised program. Rev. Kershaw won national fame and $32,00 on the TV quiz show "$64.000 Question" He landed the big prize on his knowledge of jazz. He Raid he had been booked to speak on "Religious Resources in Contemporary Drama" during Relegions Emphasis Week beginning February 16. His subject had no things to do with segregation. he said. However, a trustee of the University phoned him to ask him his views and discovered he was a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Rev Kershaw received a telegram February 2 from University Chancellor J. D. Williams saying he had concluded that "It would not be wise for you to participate in our program this year." Subsequent to the Kershaw ban. four other speakers a Catholic priest a rabbi and two protestant ministers slated to appear at the university assorted that they would cancel their scheduled appearances. Five other ministers from Oxford, Miss joined them Tuesday leaving "Ole Miss" virtually without a speaker. A 100-man executive committee in charge of the February 20-22 program resorted to "prayer periods" as a substitute of the speakers. The periods will be of 30 minutes duration and will feature silent prayer and meditation on each of three days.
