Help For Premature Infants
The science of dietetics, like many other sciences, has made
great strides in a comparatively short period of time. A vast
literature of new knowledge and information has been gained.
The attitude toward meat in the diet has undergone particularly 
significant change. It used to be believed, for instance,
that meat was not needed by the elderly, and might actually
prove harmful to them. Now the dieticians know that meat—
with its high protein content and other values—is essential to
the mental and physical well-being of practically all people
of all ages.
And meat—properly prepared, in proper quantity and of
the proper kind—has proven to be of outstanding value in promoting 
recovery from many illnesses.
A fresh testimonial to meat's worth in dealing with specific 
health problems appears in the June edition of the Journal
of Diseases of Children, an American Medical Association publication. 
Written by two doctors, its point is that anemia and
iron deficiencies, in premature infants can be partially overcome
with the early addition of meat to their diet.
This dietary supplement, given within two to four weeks
after birth, has particular value in increasing, red cell volume
and circulating hemoglobin mass and building iron reserves.
The study is based on a year-long test, and the authors say
that "strained meats were well tolerated by all infants, and
farequent gastic distress associated with the administration of
medical iron was avoided."
The right diet is one of the most potent of medicines.

A Man-Made Miracle
The Salk vaccine is a modern miracle—for those who use it.
But for the Salk vaccine, thousands of men, women and
children now walking, running, playing and working would
be in hosiptals and treament centers trying desperately to regain 
the use of ruined arms and legs. These people are still
sound, whole human beings because they protected themselves
against polio paralysis by three shots of vaccine.
Actually, there is nothing miraculous about the miracle of
the Salk vaccine. The vaccine introduces into the blood stream
tiny doses of polio virus so weakened that it can no longer
cause paralysis. But this "killed" virus still has enough pep
to produce the antibodies that fight back against the polio cirus.
Then, when the polio virus enters the body, the antibodies
go to work. The result might be at worst a slight fever or a
slight sore throat and, after a day or two, the system is bock
to normal. The antibodies have won the fight against the
deadly little virus.
The miracle of the Salk vaccine is a man-made miracle.
It was made by men who delved deeply into nature's mysteries
to find out what caused polio, and then used nature's own
protective forces to combat the crippling so often caused by the
disease in the past. The vaccine merely triggers the body's
own defensive mechanisms. Once started, these mechanisms
can win the fight almost every time.
Take advantage of this modern miracle. Get your polio
shots now.

An Ad In The Paper
One of the most valuable tools that has been used for
combatting the current recession is the advertising power of
home town and neighborhood newspapers. At the end of
every production line stands the consumer and national prosperity 
is but the sum total of local prosperity. In thousands
of communities all across the country because of editorial comment 
encouraging people to buy in their own neighborhood
or in their own home town and as a result of newspaper advertising 
programs undertaken by local merchants, local retail
sales, the pulsebeat of national prosperity, have been much
encouraged.
An ad in the local paper has always been the mark of a
successful business and the experience of recent months has
only served to prove the point.

Young Negro Leaders Of Nashville Endorse
Mayor Orgill Of Memphis For Governor
Organization of
young adult Negro leaders into
"Youth speaks" Clubs cot underway 
in Nashville following a rousing 
organizational meeting in Hadley 
Park The-group immediately
endorsed Edmund Orgill as a candidate 
for Governor, and vowed to
work for his election.
Ernest McNeil, spokesman for the
group, said nearly fifty young Negro 
leaders met in the Community
Center on Thursday evening, July
3, to lay plans for an organization
which may eventually include
chapters in Memphis, Chattanooga,
Jackson, Clarksville. Murfreesboro
and Knoxville.
McNeil said the meting was held
to attempt to lead the young Negro 
leaders of Tennessee into think
ing 
about constructive steps to take
to assure rood government in Tennessee. 
"Too much apathy is now
apparent in Tennessee and it, is
our desire to awaken many of our
youths to the responsibilities and
rewards to be found in taking an
active interest in the government
about us." McNeil said.
The youth leader added: "We
think we have found in Mayor Edmund 
Orgill a man in whom we
find both fairness and bigness of
soul and heart. He has been above
reproach in his own business, personal 
and political life in Memphis
and we feel his election will assure
all Tennesseans of a fair and just
administration."
McNeil said further plans would
be announced in the near future.

SOME FUN!


BETWEEN THE LINES
BY GORDON HANCOCK, FOR ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a great and mighty
nation. Its ideals and opportunities have merited—and won—
the admiration of mankind. A case in point will suffice.
A few years ago, George VI, king
of Great Britain, visited this country 
with his queen, Elizabeth, while
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in
the White House. Thousands turned 
out to greet the royal couple in
a mammoth parade along Pennsylvania 
Avenue. It was an imposing
procession that swung along this
historic route with plenitudes of
sound and splendor.
That night, there was a great
reception of state, with glitter and
glamour. Among those invited and
present were Congressman Arthur
W. Mitchell and wife, he, Mitchell
being the only Negro in the Congress 
at that time. During the reception, 
King George made it his
business to encounter Congressman
Mitchell and asked him what he
represented, and upon being told
that he, Congressman Mitchell, was
a representative from Chicago and
Illinois. King George made the remark 
that nowhere else in the
world was such phenomenal rise
possible.
He, of course, had in mind that
in less than 100 years the Negro
race had emerged from slavery and
had a representative in the Congress 
of the United States. The rise
of Arthur Mitchell, and more recently 
three other Negroes, to Congress, 
drives home the stern and
solemn conviction, that ours is a
great nation. The fact that white
men enslaved Negroes and that
white men died to make them free,
speaks volumes for the greatness of
the nation.
Then there is the glittering example 
of Booker T. Washington,
making the long journey from slavecabin 
to the Hall of Fame. Negroes,
often discouraged and disillusioned, 
are at times tempted to overlook 
the greatness of the nation in
the dismay of the hour. But in
their sober moments, Negroes appreciate 
this country and its opportunities; 
and it is a matter of
history that this appreciation has
often been tangibly expressed in
sweat and tears and blood.
When, therefore, there arises a
movement of "massive resistance,"
which has for its end the defiance
and thwarting of the laws of the
land. Negroes like all patriots, are
deeply concerned with the outcome.
Knowing as we do that the massive
resistance stems from race prejudice 
and its, at times, vicious
concomitants, it becomes more and
more obvious that the stab at the
law of the land is a stab at the
heart of the nation and its future.
Recent months have seen the
Supreme Court disparaged and defied 
and abused, with the result
that our prestige is being lowered
in the uttermost parts of the earth.
It is becoming more and more apparent 
that our country is jeopardized 
by, this continued disparagement 
and defiance of our highest
tribunal of justice. And we may as
well face the ugly fact now, as
later, that unless some way can be
found to counter this massive resistance 
movement. It means that it
is only a matter of time before
this country will be handed over to
communism, as it were, on a platter. 
Kruschshev heed only sit tight
and the massive registers will so
divide and weaken our country that
the communists' taking over will be
merely a formality.
Those in power had better drive
home the threatening fact that
massive resistance is another method
of massive assistance to our enemy.
Our enemy must be callous indeed
if he cannot take comfort from the
massive resistance movement currently 
sweeping the deep south.
Massive resistance is massive assistance—to 
the enemy!

Tobias Reviews Race

May 17, 1954, within a year after
our campaign began," the NAACP
board chairman declared. Other
important advances cited by the
speaker included enactment of the
Civil Rights Act of 1957, the increase 
in the voting strength of
southern Negroes, the New York
City ordinance banning racial discrimination 
in the sale and rental
of private housing, the court decisions 
against Jim Crow travel,
the elimination of segregation in
the armed services, and expanded
job opportunities.
Substantial beginnings have been
made in these fields, he asserted,
but much remains to be accomplished. 
He noted that four years
after the Supreme Court's antisegregation 
ruling in public educaion, 
"the great majority of Negro
and white children in the South
still attends separate schools."
Meanwhile, he pointed out, "some
350,000 Negro children in the border 
and southern spates are now
enrolled in school systems which
have been desegregated."
"During the next five years," Dr.
Tobias said, "we must move speedily 
and effectively to get rid of
conditions which keep colored people 
in a status of second-class citizens. 
To this end, we will use
every means at our command. We
will continue to call for implementation 
of the Supreme Court's
desegregation rulings in all sections 
of the country."
Among steps needed to speed up
the program, he asserted, are
"building of community support
for the new court rulings and laws"
and expansion of the Negro vote.
"It is remarkable," Dr. Tobias said,
"how effective a large vote can be
in changing the mind of at least
one segment of the population,
namely, the politicians. These, in
turn, can exert an influence not
only on legislation but also upon
the attitudes of other citizens."
The 49th annual convention
opened under clearing skies as a
result of the Supreme Court decision 
of June 30, holding that the
association cannot be compelled to
reveal to states the names and
addresses of its members.
That decision is expected to have
the effect of curbing the legal war
waged on the association by the
"rebel" states of the South.
If the Supreme Court had refused 
to review the action of Alabama 
courts holding the NAACP
in contempt of court for refusing to
divulge to Attorney General John
B. Patterson, the next Governor of
Alabama, the names and addresses
of its members in Alabama, the NAACP 
would have been at the mercy
of hostile legislatures and judges in
the states of the Deep South.
But the high court unanimously
reversed the Alabama Supreme
Court. Justice John Marshall Harlan, 
in a landmark opinion; declared
that the right of the association
to withhold the named and addresses 
of its members from scrutiny 
by state officials is protected
by the 14th Amendment.
If the court had he'd otherwise,
the NAACP would have faced almost 
complete extinction in the
states which desired to put it out of
business because the segregationists
holding it responsible for the prosecution 
of suits to compel compliance 
with the Supreme Court
decision of May 17, 1954, outlawing 
racial segregation in public
education.
The decision of June 30 in the
Alabama case is expected to be
controlling wherever the NAACP is
under court orders to produce its
membership lits.
The Supreme Court is expected
to follow it in the case involving
the constitutionality of a Virginia
statute, which the NAACP ha asked 
the court to review.
If the court applies its ruling to
the Virginia, case, the southern
states which followed Virginia in
passing laws aimed at the NAACP,
must find some other weapon.

in changing the mind of at least
one segment of the population,
namely, the politicians. These, in
turn, can exert an influence not
only on legislation but also upon
the attitudes of other citizens."
The 49th annual convention
opened under clearing skies as a
result of the Supreme Court decision 
of June 30, holding that the
association cannot be compelled to
reveal to states the names and
addresses of its members.
That decision is expected to have
the effect of curbing the legal war
waged on the association by the
"rebel" states of the South.
If the Supreme Court had refused 
to review the action of Alabama 
courts holding the NAACP
in contempt of court for refusing to
divulge to Attorney General John
B. Patterson, the next Governor of
Alabama, the names and addresses
of its members in Alabama, the NAACP 
would have been at the mercy
of hostile legislatures and judges in
the states of the Deep South.
But the high court unanimously
reversed the Alabama Supreme
Court. Justice John Marshall Harlan, 
in a landmark opinion; declared
that the right of the association
to withhold the named and addresses 
of its members from scrutiny 
by state officials is protected
by the 14th Amendment.
If the court had he'd otherwise,
the NAACP would have faced almost 
complete extinction in the
states which desired to put it out of
business because the segregationists
holding it responsible for the prosecution 
of suits to compel compliance 
with the Supreme Court
decision of May 17, 1954, outlawing 
racial segregation in public
education.
The decision of June 30 in the
Alabama case is expected to be
controlling wherever the NAACP is
under court orders to produce its
membership lits.
The Supreme Court is expected
to follow it in the case involving
the constitutionality of a Virginia
statute, which the NAACP ha asked 
the court to review.
If the court applies its ruling to
the Virginia, case, the southern
states which followed Virginia in
passing laws aimed at the NAACP,
must find some other weapon.

He Was Nervous
Maureen
O'Shaughnessy, an 18-year-old
clerk, thought the young man
looking at engagement rings was
nervous because he was "worrying
about popping the question." When
she turned her back, he walked
off with $700 worth of rings.

School Board In
Vague Suit Reply
The Durham board of education
waited until Virtually the deadline
for filing and then answered a federal 
integration suit of two Durham 
Negro women who sought to
enter their daughters in white
schools, with a vague reply.
The mothers filed the suit last
month. Besides asking admission
for their children, they requested a
declaratory judgement that racial
segregation on the basis of color
is unconstitutional, and asked a
permanent and to racial segregation 
in North Carolina.
In the reply, filed in U. S. Middle 
district court more than a week
ago, the Board of Education skirted 
the issue by saying that the
mothers had not stated a claim or
cause for which relief could be
granted.
The board's main contention, however, 
was that the plaintiffs had not
exhausted administrative remedies
available under the state's Pearsall
Plan. The plan provides for the optional 
closing of public schools in
the face of "intolerable" situations
or for tuition grants for private
schooling.
Moscow press said to reflect confidence 
of leaders.

JAMES KEENE'S powerful new novel
JUSTICE, MY BHOTHER!
· Copyright, 1957, by James Keene; reprinted by permission of the novel's publisher, Random
House Inc.; distributed by King Features Syndicate.
AFTER SUPPER I helped Julie
Hageman with the dishes,
then the two of us went out to sit
on the front porch and lest the
cool night breeze. Charlie and
the other hand were cleaning out
the bunkhouse, getting ready to
leave for good in the morning because 
a man with scarcely thirty
head of cattle didn't need paid
hands.
All the while we sat there Julie
kept on looking at me, and I began 
to wish she'd stop. "Smoke,
what are you thinking about?"
Cord would have told her, but
I couldn't be bold like that. I
could only come up with a halftruth. 
"I guess I think about you
most of the time, Julie."
"That's hardly fair to you,
Smoke. I don't think of you all
the time."
"I know that," I said. "I guess
I ain't much, compared to Cord."
She turned sideways in her
rocker. "Smoke, don't ever compare 
yourself with Cord. You
love me, don't you?"
"Yes," I admitted, "but I've
never mentioned it before."
"You didn't have to," Julie said.
"I knew, Smoke, but I didn't want
to let on that I knew. I never
wanted a weapon that was capable 
of hurting you."
"What weapon?" I didn't know
what she was talking about.
"When you love me, you give
me the power to hurt you. I never
wanted that power, but you
forced it on me."
"That's all right," I told her.
"I'll take the chance."
"It's not all right!" Her sharpness 
came as a surprise, then she
made her voice soft again. "I wish
I could say that I love you,
Smoke, but I don't think you'd
want me to say it if I wasn't
sure."
"I guess it's Cord you love," I
said. "It sort of figures."
"Love him? I don't think so.
Yet there's an excitement about
him that I've never found in another 
man. He's like a wild
horse, Smoke. Very handsome and
very dangerous and there's always 
that challenge there, asking
you to try and tame him. You
may know that others have tried
and failed, but pride, being what
it is, convinces you that you
might be the one to succeed." She
looked at me, then reached out
for my hand, "Smoke, I don't
love him. I'm just—fascinated by
him."
"I guess that settles that," I
said. "I sure ain't very fascinatin'." 

"You aren't your own man
either," she said bluntly. "If you
want to know the truth, no woman 
could take you seriously because 
if you said something today 
there's no guarantee that to
morrow 
Cord wouldn't send you
around to take it back."
"That sure paints me a prime
jackass," I said. If I sounded
bitter it was because I was. No
man likes to be reminded that
he's second best all the time, not
even to his own brother.
When I got up and stepped
past her, she said, "Looks like
I've said too much."
"It's been aplenty."
Her hand came out and held
me. "Smoke, I'm sorry. But you
wanted the truth, didn't you?"
The truth or a lie? What was
the difference? The impulse hit
me and I reached for her, not
easy like I'd always figured on
doing, but rough, a man's way
when he is determined to take
what he wants and all her hollering 
be damned. She came to her
feet and against me hard enough
to jar some of the breath from
her. Then I had her locked tight
in my arms and was kissing her,
not gently, but with enough
stored-up passion to let her know
size wasn't a handicap.
When I turned her loose, she
stood there looking a little bewildered. 
I had the wind up then
and really spouted off. "Is that
what you want? A lot of bruises
that you can admire in front of
your mirror after a buggy ride?
Hell, you don't have to go to
Cord if that's what you're after."
I grabbed my hat and stomped
off the porch, pausing in the
yard. "And you want to know
something else? You got nothing
a man'd fight over. I've seen
reservation squaws that kiss a lot
better."
This last was a bald-faced lie
if I ever told one, but I was mad,
along with being confused and
wishing I had a double-jointed leg
so I could clout myself. A man
turns into a blamed fool after he's
made a mistake in front of a woman; 
I did anyway.
Julie called after me but I
didn't stop. I Just fetched my
horse and got on him, striking out
for the river. Every step he took
was counted and regretted because 
I really wanted to go back
and tell her how sorry I was. But
I wasn't a big enough man to do
that and this was something she
could rightly hold against me.
* * *
The next morning I got up before 
Ma or Edna, fixed a hasty
breakfast and was riding toward
Wade Everett's place before the
grayness of dawn started to thin
out the darker shades of night
Cord and Luther were still absent; 
I'd checked the barn and
their horses were gone. This put
me in a sour frame of mind for
the work fell on my shoulders, too
much work. There was some
doubt whether I'd even get the
herd to town alone; a man can't

ride drag and flankers at the
same time:
Then I recalled the small favor
I'd done Wade Everett and headed 
directly for his place. He was
up; there was a lamp-Shining
through the open doorway. He
heard me approaching and stuck
his head out the door. I made
sure that I dismounted in the
light and when he saw who it
was, he beckoned me inside.
They were eating beefsteak for
breakfast. The little one was
sucking on a piece of fat and he
looked as though he hadn't cried
for days.
"I wish I had some coffee to
offer," Wade Everett said.
I waved it aside. "Had breakfast, 
thanks. But I could use a
favor."
"Well, I'm certainly owing you
one. Name It."
I explained about Luther and
Cord being gone and how I could
use some help with the cattle.
Everett allowed that he wasn't
much of a horseman and much
less a cowboy, but he'd be glad to
oblige. We heard the rumble of
a wagon coming across the flats,
then Everett and I looked out
just as Julie Hageman was dismounting 
to the yard. She saw
me and said, "Help me unload
this, Smoke."
"What's this?" Everett asked,
but Julie didn't bother about answering 
him. She hefted thirty
pounds of Arbuckle's coffee and
carried it into the house. Seems
like she brought everything the
cook shack held: potatoes, rice,
kidney beans, Mexican browns,
sugar, flour, a side of bacon and
some salt pork. Mrs. Everett was
happy, so she cried.
Julie explained: "We paid off
the crew and this was left Didn't
want it to go to waste."
Sure was a thin lie, that. Everett 
recognized it, but it spared his
pride, and that was important.
With the food stowed, Julie got
back on the wagon. I wanted to
talk to her, explain if I could, how
the devil could get into a man
and goad him into all sorts of
fool things, but the explanation
stuck in my throat.
"Are you driving to the railhead 
this morning, Smoke?"
"With Everett's help," I said.
"Why don't you meet us at the
river? Charlie and Russ will help
you."
"Thanks," I said. She lifted the
rains to move out. "Julie, about
last night..."
"Some other time, Smoke."
I stood there as she wheeled
out pf Everett's yard; she was
mad at me all right and I really
didn't blame her....

Tennessee Gov.
Discounts Tale
Of Ga. Brutality
State
officials Tuesday discounted the
claims of a former Pennsylvania
policeman who said his family was
mistreated and illegally held in
Polk County, Tenn.
Gov. Frank Clement's press secretary, 
Howard Anderson, said a
preliminary investigation showed
that Maurice E. Sherman's wife,
son, daughter-in-law, and two
grandchildren "were not ill or
harshly treated."
Sherman, 67, of McConnelsburg
Pa., charged that his family was
arrested in Oakman, Ga., June 22,
and taken illegally to Benton,
Tenn., where the women were
stripped, searched and held overnight. 

He branded Polk County Sheriff
Bud Payne's rebuttal "lies" and
said the sheriff. In trying to defend 
his actions, "warped the whole
picture out of proportion."
Payne said the Sherman family
was arrested because the women
fitted the description of two robbery 
suspects wanted in Polk
County.
He said the family waived extradition 
and was taken to Benton
where they were permitted to use
the jailer's apartment and were
treated "with utmost kindness."
The state, after a preliminary
investigation, backed Payne's story
and said it found nothing to corroborate, 
Sherman's charges. The
investigation will continue.
Sherman wrote letters to Clement 
and Georgia Gov. Marvin
Griffin demanding action. Gov.
Griffin declined to comment on
the case.
Sherman said he planned to file
suit against Polk County but would
first wait on any action by the
governors.
