Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1953-12-04 James H. Purdy, Jr. A Sign Of Christmas Once again Christmas has sneaked up on us and now is just around the corner. To the children of this community, the coming of Christmas is perhaps the best news of the year, and among adults it is rare to find one who does not recall, with some emotion and memories, happy Christmases of earlier years. One of the more important events of the Christmas season is the annual Christmas Seal sales. It is particularly appropriate that the sale of these seals, the proceeds from which go into the fight against tuberculosis, comes at Christmas time, because tuberculosis kills more young people than any other disease. This year's Christmas Seal portrays the spirit of children at Christmas time, and reminds us that buying Christmas Seals helps in the fight against tuberculosis. The Fulton county Tuberculosis Association is again at work this year in behalf of this community's children. Every Christmas most of us are given the opportunity to support this Association by buying Christmas Seals. The sale of these seals is the only source of funds for this work, and it is an honor to be asked to contribute to the Christmas Seal campaign. Citizens in this community have always responded generously to this drive and the Atlanta Daily World urges them to do so again this holiday season. The Republican Pattern (From the Birmingham World) Both Senators John Jackson Sparkman and Lister Hill are now on record in traditional, and unvarying, opposition to efforts by the federal impetus to assist in wiping out inequalities and distinctions based solely on race. This became evident when Alabama's two senators issued statements last week criticizing Ally. Gen. Herbert Brownell, Jr., in filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the pending five school cases in which it is suggested that the United States Supreme Court has both the duty and the authority to strike down racial distinctions. It should be noted that the same two senators were gleefully issuing statements a few days earlier on the announced intentions of the housing and Home Finance Agency to release over four million dollars for the proposed Medical Center "Racial Relocation Project" in Birmingham. Senator Sparkman comes up for election next Spring and doubtless he is trying to win back Dixiecrat support. Senator Sparkman was the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate last year. Of course, the Democratic ticket was defeated and the Sparkman utterances, like the Alabama Democratic "White Supremacy" slogan, should again aid the Republicans to win in 1956. The Sparkman remarks are likely to reverberate in the 1954 Congressional elections in those states where strength between the two major parties is fairly even. He is quoted as saying that the action of Mr. Brownell in presenting the anti-segregation brief "is in keeping with the pattern already adopted by this Republican administration." If that is true, then the Republican Party deserves the praise of decent people for moving hard and steadily against an evil which hurts and shames this nation. He calls the Brownell action "another step in the unfolding of the pattern." But in fairness, the previous National Democratic Administration threw its weight against the same evil at the same place. Let no one overlook the marvelous work performed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and numerous other influential organizations in attacking legally enforced school segregation. A bit of the support for this position has come from the South itself. Senator Sparkman argues that "the Republican Party has never had regard for the South, nor for its customs and its traditions." But would the Senator put the South's customs above the country's constitution and the South's traditions higher than social truth? The Republican Party seems to look at the South maturedly, as a part of the Nation rather than a section to itself, it seems to us. We commend Mr. Brownell for his brief in the school cases.

Confidential sources in Washington reveal that President Eisenhower is conferring constantly with what I believe to be three of the greatest men in his party, on the Southern School issue; Herbert O. Brownell, Jr., Attorney General Of The United States, Thomas E. Dewey, Governor Of New York State, and Earl Warren, Chief Justice Of These United States. These three men by their past records, rather than their promises have done more for the Negro in their respective areas than any others. The President reported an all out crusade to end school segregation in the South, with an attempt at a later date to appease Southern citizens around election time. As is common knowledge by this time but should be long in the minds of the Negro votors, Ike directed Brownell to tell the Supreme Court that it was their "DUTY AND AUTHORITY" to Outlaw school segregation in the South. Bravo Dwight. OKAY DRAFT EXEMPTION The Supreme Court held 6 to 3 that George Lewis Dickinson of San Francisco, Calif., a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses religious sect who was sentenced to two years in prison for refusing draft induction, was entitled to exemption. Dickinson had claimed exemption from the draft as a regular minister rather than as a conscientious objector. He was employed at the Navy Yard as a radar mechanic, but contended the religious work was his main occupation. The majority opinion, written by Justice Tom Clark, said Dickinson's navy work was only five hours a week and "we think he made a case (for exemption) which meets the statutory criteria." Tri-State Bank invested $2,000,000,00 in asisting hundreds of families to purchase homes. More than a half-million dollars has been invested in helping to aid some of the most beautiful churches in the Tri-State area.

The accounts of each depositor of the Tri-State Bank are insured up to $10,000.00 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an agency of the U. S. Government. The bank serves as a depository for the U. S. Government and the State of Tennessee. Jesse H. Turner, cashier of the Tri-State Bank, pointed out this week that the bank offers all modern banking services to its patrons including Savings Accounts, Christ mas Savings Club Accounts, Commercial (Checking) Accounts, Banking-By-Mail, Cashier's Checks, Traveler's Checks Bank Drafts, Safety Deposits Boxes, Real Estate Loans, Automobile Loans, and the sale of United States Savings Bonds.

Soldiers Fined down beside her in the first seat behind the driver. She said she asked him to move and at first, he refused. They exchanged words, she asserted, and then attempted to get up. The soldier then moved to the rear of the bus, according to the woman. His place was immediately taken by another soldier, the woman said. This one refused to move or allow her to move, she said. The driver then tried to get the soldier to move, but to no avail. He then called the police. When the police arrived, Lt. Sherard reportedly tried to prevent their arresting the soldier Police then ordered the bus driver to drive the vehicle to the police station. Policeman D. A. Neely and J. D. Worthy charged that the 24year-old lieutenant "caused most of the trouble" by "agitating the others" and arguing with the bus operator whether the soldier should remain in his seat. In commenting on the incident, Ft. Jackson authorities said: "In accordance with currently prescribed policy for the Armed Forces, segregation is not practiced at Ft. Jackson, a federal military reservation. "When military personnel go off the post they become subject to local laws and are personally responsible for any violations of such laws the same as any other civilian. The army expects its per sonnel, whether on post or off, to be law-abiding at all times." WISHING WELL Registered U. S. Patent Office.

Latting, he was instrumental in Atty. Latting securing permission to practice before the U. S. Supreme Court he rendered this service without charge. A reporter of the Memphis World reached Attorney Latting in his swank Beale Avenue Law Office and he made the following statement." "The charges of Dr. Bland are as ridiculous as they are false, but I harbor no personal animosities towards him for I believe he is a sick man. "When Dr. Bland sent his wife to my office to represent her, she became my client and it Was my duty to protect her rights without regards to personal friendship or fraternal relations that existed between Dr. Bland and me. "Dr. Bland was represented by one of the ablest and finest law yers in this country and we were able to work out a settlement of the case which, I believe, was fair to both parties so far as I am concerned, it was just another case, and I have no ill feeling against Dr. Bland, but I do pity him for the attitude which he has taken, hoping that he will see the light before destroys himself." Non-Discrimination eliminated. Dr. Caronne F. Ware, president, Washington Urban League, said she regretted that the order carried any exceptions, but she hopes they will not last long. Exceptions listed in the order, rather than the fire department are the two Industrial Home schools, one for Negro and the other for white children; the District training school at Laurel, Md., and the one at Occoquan, Va.; the jail division of the Correction Department and the Home for Aged and Infirm. Congress specified in its appropriation act that segregation be maintained in the Industrial Homes. Because of the congressional act, the order stated that the District government "shall not at this time govern the assignment of white employes to the Industrial Home for Colored Children," nor the Negro employes to the unit for white children.

House Okays Loyalty Check Georgia's House of Representatives approved a loyalty check of state employes Monday, but specified that anyone accused of disloyalty must be provided a hearing. The lower chamber approved the amended Senate measure tighteriing the present anti-surversives law by a unanimous vote. The bill goes back to the upper chamber for concurrence in the amendment which provides that no person shall be discharged from state employment without being given a hearing at which evidence to substantiate charges of disloyalty would have to be produced. Administration floor leader Frank Twitty of Camilla, Ga., said, "This is to avoid false accusations." The bill puts a continued hunt for subservice activities in hands of the executive branch in government and provides for a "loyalty" questionnaire to be filled out for every one on the state payroll, including teachers. Speedy Senate agreement is expected, possibly mating this bill the first of the administration's remajor recommendations to reach Gov. Herman Talmadge for signature. CLASSIFIED Want Ad Information...
