SUBSCRIPTION RATES Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Brotherhood Week In Memphis The 1950 observance of Brotherhood Week has been set for February 19 through the 26. This publication has received a wide assortment of material relating to the high purpose and expected results of Brotherhood Week which is sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Inc., in cooperation with its various councils and auxiliaries functioning on local levels over the country. It appears, however, that the Memphis Council of this national body has done very little, if anything to extend a sincere hand of welcome to the Negro clergy to participate in the local observance of Brotherhood Week. The question of participation on the part of Negro religious leaders in Brotherhood Week activities has been squarely put before some of the officials of the local council but as of this date there has been no statement reflecting a brotherly attitude on the part of white ministers responsible for the observance. As a matter of fact this publication is informed that there actually exists a point of view akin to hostility so far as the inclusion of Negro church communicants .. although the large majority does come within the rank of Christians. The excuse has been that the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Inc., and its component parts are not a racial organization but religious. Yet, the publicity coming from the national offices of the Conference puts repeated emphasis upon the urgency of brotherhood regardless of race or creed. Pronouncements of Brotherhood in Memphis next week over the radio, through the columns of the press, and in the pulpit will be as "sounding brass and tinkling symbols" without a change of heart and spirit on the part of leaders of the observance.

Supporters Hope wrote for action on February 15. Mr. Miller later made it clear that he wanted no part of such a move. He favored passage of the bill Monday, the regular House District of Columbia day, and felt it should not be used as a "club to head off FEPC." The bill would make American citizens a prerequisite for obtaining a license to practice the healing arts in the District of Columbia. McMillan's request, promptly indorsed by Representative Howard W. Smith, Democrat, of Virginia, ran into a block when Representative Walter K. Granger, Democrat, of Utah, said that if it was planned to throw the bill into the calendar Wednesday proceedings, he would make the point that no quorum of the District Committee was present. Eleven members were there, two short of a quorum. McMillan denied that he was thinking of the FEPC bill when he asked special action on the doctors bill. He said his only thought was that since the doctors bill has been held up two or three times, an effort should be made to obtain action if the District Committee is going to have a Wednesday for legislation. He predicted there might be "a good bit of argument" about the doctors bill, another way of saying the Southerners would delay action on the measure to prevent any other committee from being called on the same day. The committee also approved a bill to incorporate the Girl Scouts of America McMillian indicated that both bills may be carried over to Wednesday. The House approved tentative a proposed $131,700,000 annual increase in postal cards, parcel post, special deliveries and third class mail, and finally passed the measure the next day.

Miss Don't let a BACKACHE KEEP YOU HOME CIVIL RIGHTS We must crusade for Civil Rights to the man; and I mean a generic sense to the woman too. In order for it to be more effective, we must enlist a large segment of our favorite brethren, the white race. I cannot understand those of the opposite race who say they believe in democracy(and yet they steadily disapprove of civil rights, for if democracy means anything it should mean civil rights and if civil rights mean anything it should mean the inclusion of human rights. It would be superfine if the legisla tors in Washington and the various state houses would, let their craniums and hearts become saturated with the fact and idea that God is no respector of persons, races, creeds classes or colors. If this could happen, over night, our civil rights and al other controversial measures of vicil rights would be enacted into law and action. The Christian church must begin, as never before, to go all out in an earnest effort to tear asunder geographical, religious, racial and class barriers, denounce demagogues and all their ilk to flight. This is truly an acid test for the Christian church. Approximately 15,000,000 black souls are in dire need of civil rights in order to become first class citizens of our democracy, and too there are other minorities in the same category and God is not asleep to this dastardly condition. for He detests these unchristian undemocratic and unAmerican tactics based on racial and color discrimination, prejudice and segregation which smack at denials of real justice and human dignity to minorities, which have a tendency to keep them in the rank of second class citizens.
