The President Asks Equal Job Chance
It is pleasing to note that President Eisenhower is insisting 
upon further strength for his Civil Rights program. It is
well that the Congress be memorialized to the end of heeding .
this much needed recommendation. The whole of the prestige
of the nation and our foreign policy for which Secretary Dulles
is literally giving his life demand such a move.
Concerning commissions, et cetera, on easing the question 
of compliance with a court order, which is an acknowledged 
fact, would be highly inappropriate. The court has
spoken and implementation is the order of the day.
A strong Civil Rights law such as the President suggests
would set in motion that which would move in the direction
of an early clarification of this matter which should move forward 
for other important measures.
To ask those with government contracts to employ fair
practice in employment is not unreasonable. In fact, it has
been felt all along that such a move as fair practice should
begin with the government itself. What the President is doing,
is in line with an open and unbiased policy in hiring workers.
It would, as, claimed by some of his critics, lay down the fundamentals 
for other employers.
The sound economic procedure in employment would be
the hiring of the best man for a particular job without regards
to his color or creed.
By his stand in reference to those holding government
contracts, the President would be fair and consistent with the
principles for which so much time and attention are now being
given.
Let the practice begin with holders of government contracts. 

The Congress should lose no time in bolstering the Civil
Rights program. Given teeth, it would take the place of a thousand 
commissions.
In the meantime, let voters be on the job and alerted to
the defense of an all out program, which would go along way
in the solution of what we are now lamenting.

Faubus Will Hardly Take This Option
According to news reports a traffic court judge, who is
also a member of the little Rock school board would egg Governor 
Faubus on to open the Little Rock school, closed since
September 12, on a segregated basis. This he supposes would
be an entering wedge in bringing what he calls a showdown
with the federal government.
His hypothesis is probably founded upon the contention
that the government would not again take military steps as
it did before.
In fact, board member Laster, author of this suggestion
says: "I believe if we open the schools on a segregated basis,
the federal government would not send armed troops back to
Little Rock."
This same board member ventures so far as to surmise:
"If troops come back, I think the people of Arkansas and the
entire nation would rebel."
For an American citizen to make such a venture and to
hold out such an option before a people in a society regulated
by law would border on a very dangerous premise. It would
say in so many words that people are exposed in that area
to such a spurious doctrine as to make them feel that they
can play with their government when such is not the case.
For a person in a responsible position as a member of a
board of education to so abuse this freedom of speech, is
generally deplored. It is to be regretted that some one would
pose a situation so extreme as to offer an open dare to the
offices of the federal government.
But Governor Faubus will hardly take this option.

A Poster And A Prayer Offend Bessemer
The ruthless beating of an American citizen by a mob in
the presence of police in the City Hall at Bessemer, Ala. is not
only of importance to the citizen under attack, but to all Americans 
who believe in the sanctity of the law and, fair treatment 
by law enforcement officers. Such is the allegation in the
case of citizen Asbury Howard Sr., and his son. The former, is
alleged to have engaged a white artist to reproduce a cartoon
appearing in a newspaper of a Negro praying to God, with
the line, "Lord help" with a line to be added to read, "Vote
Today for a Better Tomorrow."
The son was arrested and charged with resisting arrest
and disorderly conduct.
If this U all the poster said, with a line added to the
prayer to the Lord for help, "Vote Today for a Better Tomorrow," 
then newspaper articles, editorials and posters about
federal buildings as well as public meetings for the enlightenment 
of citizens as to their civic duty also are violations of
Bessemer's sacred rules.
There is no wonder that this outrageous act has been referred 
to the attention of the President of the United States.
Agents for the Soviets could find no better material in all
their search for such Outlawry as would enhance their position
maintaining that Democracy on paper is different from Demo
cracy 
at work.
According to reports, the poster not only was never exhibited, 
but never completed. Still Bessemer would be so "holier
than thou" as to sense a breach of the peace if an individual
offering a prayer to Almighty God for help, and then appealing 
to fellow citizens by the American route, to register that
there might be a better tomorrow.
One does not have to resort to newspaper trials, to conduce 
that the Howards' Civil Rights-have been violated; that
they have been, and are being deprived of their liberty and
there should be a rigid investigation into something that could
finally lead to a prohibition against the reading of the Bible
or for one to engage in a private prayer meeting.
Surely such a departure at this time from the ideals and
basic principles by which we are striving to arrive at a lasting
peace, will not be overlooked.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the Department of Justice
and the Civil Rights Commission should move in end nip these
little ugly beginnings in the bud. Let us hope so, anyway.

SEEING and SAYING
By WILLIAM FOWLKES
World's Managing Editor
WHILE THERE are many bad spots in racial relations in
the South, there a re just as many or more good spots. This is
the great consolation of living in the area, slowly but surely
changing in its attitude of equal acceptance of all its citizens.


ONLY GEORGIA, South, Carolina, Alabama 
and Mississippi are without some semblance 
of school integration. Yet within these
states are many people who-genuinely wish
that the issue was resolved and there was no conflict with the
May, 1954, ruling.

Incidentally, they and all their tribe outnumber those who
parade through the streets and the press their own venom
and dislike of fairness to all.

IT IS A FINE example when total strangers, but white residents 
of the South, nevertheless, meet you during your travelsand 
express delight that all is moving well, if only slowly,
toward the promised land. They have the same faith as the
Pilgrims!

BOSTON ST. SOCIAL CLUB
IN TWO "EXCELLENT"
MEETINGS
By ISAAC YOUNG
(Melrose) There was a talent
show given by the senior classes of
Melrose High School, the Principal
stated that the show should be an
annual affair. Some of the talents
were, the Harper Brothers, the
Canes, Washington's Combo, the
Marqusttes. Herbert Marshall, and
Tyrone "Littlebud" Smith, during
that fabulous song of Ted Taylor,
"Be Ever Wonderful". The song
was dedicated to the foxes around
Melrose High School, especially the
queen known as Elizabeth Ann Mitchell. 
By the way the program was
M. Cd by Wash Allen, William
Terrel and D'army Bailey. D'army
told one of his unfunny jokes, and
the teenagers told him please do not
tell another one. Barbara Perry was
also present at this wonderful talent 
show.
The Ted Taylor fan club was
finally organized by the Sputonettes
Social Club, Ann Kirk is president
of both clubs. She stated that the
fan club organized because so many
young ladies was asking to join the
club. The Sputonettes Social club
started two years ago and since,
they have been making a great
deal of progress. The two clubs are
combined and have the same officers. 
Ted stated that the club will
only be city-wide. He also said
that the teen-agers helpe dhim to
sell his latest recordings.
The Kingsmen Social Club is
becoming one of Memphis most
popular male social clubs. The
president of this club is Lester
Lasure. They will hold their annual 
dance at the Flamingo Room.
They are asking you to get your
tickets in advance, from all the
social clubs around the Bluff City
area.
The limelight is oh a senior at
Booker T. Washington High School.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Luvenia 
Jackson. By now you'll probably 
guessed my outstanding personality 
for today is Miss Mary
Jackson. She has
gained great popularity 
among the
faculty as well as
the student body.
Miss Jackson is
also the president 
of her homeroom, 
where she
is in charge of
the various activities. 
In religious 
life she is
a member of Mt.
Pilgrim Baptist

Church In social life she is a member 
of the Independent Social Club,
and is also the president of the
girl's division. Oh yes, in the future
she intends to go to Tennessee A
and I. State University to become
a dietitian.
The Independent Social Club will

open the Hippodrome as a skating
ing, March 14. The club is asking 
you to get your tickets in advance. 
The club also voted in new
members, they are, Zola Burse a
senior at Melrose, Bobbie Collins a
sophomore at Booker T. Washington: 
Collins is president of the
sophomore class, and second vice
of the Student Council. Larry Matthews, 
a junior at Melrose and is
what's happening. Roy Edward
leans is a student at Booker T.
Washington Marion Brown also is
a member at B. T. W.
The Counts Social Club gave their
monthly dance at Curries. D'army
Bailey is president. They tell me
that the dance was very crowded.
(Washington) The seniors played 
the juniors a basketball game
in Washington gymnasium. I haven't
ever seen anything so funny in my
whole life, to see juniors shoot the
seniors completely out of the gym.
The senior were so embarrassed
that they decided to leave before
the game had ended. The seniors
asked the juniors not to mention
the score, of course it was ridiculous. 

The Best Men's and Women's
Club is scheduled to meet at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Stafford Bell,
1468 Sydney St., Tuesday night,
March 3 at 8. All members are asked 
to be present on time.
Mrs. Linnie Bell, president; Mrs.
Romelia Felix, secretary and Mrs.
Rachel Gillard, reporter.
The Boston Street Social Club,
according to Mrs. J. B. Shields, reporter 
for the organization, has
had two "excellent" meetings the
past two months. One meeting was
held at the residence of Mrs. Lucie 
Moore on Cable Ave., and the
other was held at the home of Mrs.
Josie London on Walnut Rd.
After the usual business sessions, 
both confabs were concluded
with what members called "a very
tasty menu."
Mrs. Onie Hunt, a member of the
club, was reported ill at the last
meeting. Club numbers are wishing 
her a speedy recovery.
Mrs. Josie London is president
of the organization.

The New WAYNE D.OVERHOLSER Thriller
THE LONE DEPUTY
© 1957, Wayne  Overholser, From the novel published by
The Macmillan Co. Distributed by King Features Syndicates.
Price Regan, town  of Saddle 
Rock. Colo., and deputy sheriff
of Tremaine county, has more on his
mind than Laura Madden, even
though she has announced to him
that he is marrying her. Price would
he willing enough to marry Laura if
he wasn't the man in the middle in a
Struggle of power and pride between
Laura's father. Barry Madden, Saddle
Rock's banker, and Cole Weston, a
cattleman whose riders do not respect 
any laws.
Madden found out he didn't own
Price when he offered him a house
as a wedding present in return for
running homesteader-storekeeper Walt
Cronin out of the country. Price refused. 
Word of this traveled fast,
and one of Cole Weston's gunslinging 
cowboys. Curly Blue, icked a
fight with Price. Blue came out secand 
best, so Weston ordered Madden
to get rid of Price. For Laura's sake
Madden persuaded Weston to allow
him twelve hours to bring Price into
line without gunplay.
Weston doesn't want settlers coming 
into the valley and obtaining
legal possession under homestead
laws of land Weston has been holding 
by force. Weston wants to make
a forbidding example of Cronin.
Price, his motives misunderstood
by the homesteaders, is now the object 
of the hostility of both sides in
the struggle. He heads into trouble
when he goes to the Madden home
to call on Laura.
PRECISELY at eight o'clock
Price Regan, shaved, bathed,
and then smelling of Cologne
water, rang the bell of the Madden 
house. He had not se en
Laura or her father since morning, 
and it would not have surprised 
him if Barry Madden had
met him at the door and said he
wasn't welcome.
He was surprised when Madden 
opened the door and said
genially, "Good evening, Price.
Laura will be ready in a few
minutes." For a moment Price
studied the man, taken aback by
this greeting, but he found no
hint of anger or resentment in
either Madden's face or voice. He
stepped into the hall, thinking
that Laura always had a way of
getting around her father and
that she must have done it again.
Madden shut the door and led
the way along the hall, saying,
"Come on back to the study while
you're waiting for Laura."
The parlor in the front of the
house had been expensively furnished 
for Laura's mother. Here
she had entertained the elite of
Elk River Valley. After she died,
Laura had taken over the parlor
for her parties.
Barry Madden hated these social 
occasions, and he put in only
as much of an appearance as propriety 
required. The study in the
back was his room with its great
fireplace and oak paneling and
the dark, somber furniture. He
always kidnaped as many men as
he could from Laura's parties and
took them into his study for a
drink, a few off-color stories, and
some sober talk about the future
of the west end of Tremaine
County, if Laura permitted him
to keep them there that long.
Now, when Madden threw the
door of the study open and motioned 
for Price to step past him,
Price stood absolutely still,
shocked into immobility, and yet
he knew he shouldn't have been.
This was typical of Barry Mad
den. 
Here were Cole Weston, the
Mohawk brothers, and Red Sanders. 

In a corner behind Weston
stood Max Harker, the usual cynical 
grin on his thin face. He
wanted to give the impression he
was a spectator, not a participant,
but Price knew that if he actually 
thought that, he was fooling 
no one but himself. He was a
part of Madden's scheming or he
wouldn't be here.
Price stepped inside, nodding
a greeting. The cowmen nodded
back, making no effort to hide
their hostility. Harker said, "Good
evening, Deputy," the grin still
on his lips as if he were enjoying
in anticipation the scene that was
certain to come.
Madden moved to the table, motioning 
to the decanter that was
there. He asked, "You'll have a
during, won't you Price?"
"Not tonight," Price said, and
added by way of explanation, "I'll
be with Laura in a few minutes."
Madden paused, uncertain as to
the next move. Price stood stiffly
by the door, gaze touching Cole
Weston, then moving to the
others.
The Mohawk brothers were
identical twins with coarse dark
hair, hawk noses, sailboat ears,
and swarthy skin. The only way
Price could tell them apart was
by the scar Joe had high on his
right cheek. If there was talking
to be done, Joe did it. Price
couldn't remember hearing Tom
say ten words since held been in
Saddle Rock. Both were bachelors, 
probably in their late thirties, 
and from what Price had
seen and heard; they were as
tough and brutal a pair of men as
he'd ever run into, with no room
in them for gentleness.
The weakest of the four was
Red Sanders, but the weakness
was not a lack of physical courage. 
Rather, the way Price judged
him, it was a willingness to live
and let live; a reluctance to take
the kind of direct action that
Cole Weston advocated. Sanders
had a wife and two children in
whom he took great pride, and
he was different from the other
three, too, in that he liked to
laugh, his broad horse teeth much
in evidence.
These four made up what Cole
Weston called the Cowmen's
Council. In the past they had been
able, with Madden's help, to
make their collective will the law
on Elk River regardless of what
the former deputies in Saddle
Rock thought or did. But Price
Regan was not like the deputies
who had preceded him, and he
wondered how much his presence
in Saddle Rock had held Weston
and the others back these last
months. Now, as his gaze returned 
to Weston, he had a feeling 
that the time of holding back
was gone. What had happened
this morning seemed ample proof
of that.
The seconds ribboned out until
Madden showed his embarrassment. 
It was evident he didn't
know quite how to approach this,

but finally he cleared his throat.
"Price, we wanted to have a
little talk with you before you
left this evening with Laura.
About the problem we briefly discussed 
this morning."
Madden cleared his throat
again, and added hastily, "We
carry a good deal, of influence
with the legislature. Cole especially. 
We're sure that the next session 
will cut Elk Rivet Valley off
from Tremaine county and organize 
it as a separate county. Like
I told you this morning, you'd be
our first sheriff. We were just
discussing it We agreed you'd
make a damned good one."
Price grinned. This wasn't what
they'd been discussing at all. He
said, "That's right kind of you."
"Tell him, Barry," Weston
snapped. "Tell him, damn it, or
I will."
Madden took a step back from
the table, his hands shoved into
his pants' pockets. "There's this
other thing we talked about this
morning. You know, Cronin.
You've got to get rid of him."
Price pinned his gaze on Weston's 
bearded face. He said", "Cole,
you ought to know by now that
as long as I'm deputy, you'll
answer to something higher than
your law."
Weston gave Madden a bare
half-inch nod. "I told you that
you'd waste our time, Berry."
"Now let's not jump the
gun ..." Madden began.
"I'll make myself clear to all
of you," Price broke in. "I think
you're right about Cronin. He refuses 
to explain where he got
his calves and he's proddy as hell.
Acts like he wants a fight, but
that's not the point. My job is
to find sound evidence that he's
either been stealing or receiving
stolen property. If he's been receiving 
it who's doing the stealing?" 

"Well, by God, Regan, you must
have more sense than you act
like you've got," Weston said,
"There's a dozen thieving nester
families on Yellow Cat. You don't
need brains to look no farther."
"I may be a little short of
brains," Price said, "but maybe
you are, too. If you're losing
calves like you claim, you ought
to know that the settlers on the
Yellow Cat don't have the guts
or the savvy to cross the river
to Rocking C range and steal
anything of yours. Bridlebit and
Broken Ring, yes. Rocking C, no."
"Makes sense," Red Sanders
agreed. "They're a yellow, no
good bunch."
"I'm losing calves, all right,"
Weston said. "Cronin must be
doing it himself."
Price shook his head. "No. But
some of your cowboys could be,
though."
Weston threw out a big hand
in a violent gesture. "Not any
of my boys. Get this straight,
Regan. You've been crawfishing
too long. We've waited as long
as we're going to, Move Cronin
tonight."

certain to come.
Madden moved to the table, motioning 
to the decanter that was
there. He asked, "You'll have a
during, won't you Price?"
"Not tonight," Price said, and
added by way of explanation, "I'll
be with Laura in a few minutes."
Madden paused, uncertain as to
the next move. Price stood stiffly
by the door, gaze touching Cole
Weston, then moving to the
others.
The Mohawk brothers were
identical twins with coarse dark
hair, hawk noses, sailboat ears,
and swarthy skin. The only way
Price could tell them apart was
by the scar Joe had high on his
right cheek. If there was talking
to be done, Joe did it. Price
couldn't remember hearing Tom
say ten words since held been in
Saddle Rock. Both were bachelors, 
probably in their late thirties, 
and from what Price had
seen and heard; they were as
tough and brutal a pair of men as
he'd ever run into, with no room
in them for gentleness.
The weakest of the four was
Red Sanders, but the weakness
was not a lack of physical courage. 
Rather, the way Price judged
him, it was a willingness to live
and let live; a reluctance to take
the kind of direct action that
Cole Weston advocated. Sanders
had a wife and two children in
whom he took great pride, and
he was different from the other
three, too, in that he liked to
laugh, his broad horse teeth much
in evidence.
These four made up what Cole
Weston called the Cowmen's
Council. In the past they had been
able, with Madden's help, to
make their collective will the law
on Elk River regardless of what
the former deputies in Saddle
Rock thought or did. But Price
Regan was not like the deputies
who had preceded him, and he
wondered how much his presence
in Saddle Rock had held Weston
and the others back these last
months. Now, as his gaze returned 
to Weston, he had a feeling 
that the time of holding back
was gone. What had happened
this morning seemed ample proof
of that.
The seconds ribboned out until
Madden showed his embarrassment. 
It was evident he didn't
know quite how to approach this,

but finally he cleared his throat.
"Price, we wanted to have a
little talk with you before you
left this evening with Laura.
About the problem we briefly discussed 
this morning."
Madden cleared his throat
again, and added hastily, "We
carry a good deal, of influence
with the legislature. Cole especially. 
We're sure that the next session 
will cut Elk Rivet Valley off
from Tremaine county and organize 
it as a separate county. Like
I told you this morning, you'd be
our first sheriff. We were just
discussing it We agreed you'd
make a damned good one."
Price grinned. This wasn't what
they'd been discussing at all. He
said, "That's right kind of you."
"Tell him, Barry," Weston
snapped. "Tell him, damn it, or
I will."
Madden took a step back from
the table, his hands shoved into
his pants' pockets. "There's this
other thing we talked about this
morning. You know, Cronin.
You've got to get rid of him."
Price pinned his gaze on Weston's 
bearded face. He said", "Cole,
you ought to know by now that
as long as I'm deputy, you'll
answer to something higher than
your law."
Weston gave Madden a bare
half-inch nod. "I told you that
you'd waste our time, Berry."
"Now let's not jump the
gun ..." Madden began.
"I'll make myself clear to all
of you," Price broke in. "I think
you're right about Cronin. He refuses 
to explain where he got
his calves and he's proddy as hell.
Acts like he wants a fight, but
that's not the point. My job is
to find sound evidence that he's
either been stealing or receiving
stolen property. If he's been receiving 
it who's doing the stealing?" 

"Well, by God, Regan, you must
have more sense than you act
like you've got," Weston said,
"There's a dozen thieving nester
families on Yellow Cat. You don't
need brains to look no farther."
"I may be a little short of
brains," Price said, "but maybe
you are, too. If you're losing
calves like you claim, you ought
to know that the settlers on the
Yellow Cat don't have the guts
or the savvy to cross the river
to Rocking C range and steal
anything of yours. Bridlebit and
Broken Ring, yes. Rocking C, no."
"Makes sense," Red Sanders
agreed. "They're a yellow, no
good bunch."
"I'm losing calves, all right,"
Weston said. "Cronin must be
doing it himself."
Price shook his head. "No. But
some of your cowboys could be,
though."
Weston threw out a big hand
in a violent gesture. "Not any
of my boys. Get this straight,
Regan. You've been crawfishing
too long. We've waited as long
as we're going to, Move Cronin
tonight."



EXIST AS BROTHERS
OR CEASE TO EXIST

The speaker was Mrs. Theodore
O. Wedel, president of the United
Church Women. One of four main
speakers during the seven-hour Festival, 
Mrs. Wedel said:
"The only way we can learn to
live with other people is by being
willing to give up a sense of personal 
importance and acknowledge
instead the rights end privileges of
others."
This can be done ultimately, but
only by acquiring "a religious view
of the universe in which we're all
children of the one Heavenly Father." 
she stated.
Another speaker, Isaac Frank,
executive director of the Jewish
Community Council of Greater
Washington, said both religion and
science agree on the dignity and
quality of man.
"In my religious tradition, the
tradition of Judaism," Mr. Frank
said, "we are taught that God
gathered earth from 70 countries of
the world and out of this, made
Adam, the first man.
"The Rabbis teach that God
created only one man rather than
many so that none of Adams descendants 
can ever say to his neighbor, 
my ancestors were better than
yours."
Mr. Frank added that social
scientists have found no evidence
of racial superiority or infenority
and that furthermore they teach
that prejudice is not inborn and
that there is no instinct of disliking 
the unlike.
A third speaker, the Reverend
Monsignor John S. Spencer, director 
of education for the Archdiocese 
of Washington, said brotherhood 
is not a political dream based
on democracy.
He called it "a religious truth we
cannot back away from," a truth
recognized and acted upon, in recent
years by Government).
Monsignor Spence said that
though under brotherhood there is
independence of taste and action,
there is no discord, inhumanity to
man or failure to defend the rights
of all men.
The (Reverend James O. West, Jr.

of Washington's Calvary Protestant
Episcopal Church, warned that we
must practice brotherhood or perish.
He said brotherhood can be found
only through the help of Christ find
the Bible.
Despite intermittent cold rains,
the Burlington hotel space occupied
by the Festival overflowed with
people of diverse races and faiths
shortly after the Festival's noon
opening and remained So until the
7 p. m. closing.
Tables filling a room were laden
with favorite foods of well-known
personalities in the history of the
32 participating organizations.
B'nai B'rith Women won first
prize for their table featuring kugel,
a testy, combination of rice, raisins,
eggs, noodles and cheese.
The Embassy of Liberia was second-place 
winner with its cassava
muffins, plantains and jollof rice,
the latter a delicious mixture of
highly seasoned meats, vegetables
and rice.
Third prize went to the Continental 
Society of Washington for
savory dishes of stuffed chicken
breast with white wine sauce centered 
amidst a striking floral display 
representing the love of a mother 
— "the hope of the world,"
read a display card above the
table.

Notwithstanding

and permit an unlimited number of
occupants are also guilty of accellerating 
socialism in government.
Socialism becomes more pro-_
nounced in this country in areas
where private enterprise fails to
supply the adequate needs of people. 

There is still another facet of this
problem to be considered ... and
that is Urban Renewal. All of the
efforts of Urban Renewal will go
down the drain if these private
constructors are permitted to stuff
dwellings so full of persons until
a face is sticking out of every window 
and a head out of every door.
