Judge Waring's Great Speech
The General Conference of the AME Church, convening in
Chicago made a notable contribution when it featured for its gatherring 
the appearance of Judge J. Waites Waring. The sentiments
and philosophies of the judge are too well and widely known for
one to go into an introduction. For one to not know and agree
with him would be saying that he is not an American.
The able judge gave to the citizens assembled at Chicago and
the world the wholesome preambles and intent of the Constitution
of the United States. On the front of social justice and civil rights,
there was never a more prolific prophet nor a bolder fighter on
the frontier of America's approach for true liberty.
When he said in the conclusion of one of the greatest utterances 
since Lincoln stood inspired at Gettysburgh, "We do not
want gifts, we want rights," ho fired the shot to be heard around
the world.
That is where we come in as a tree people, in many quarters 
where black folk struggle for better social, economic and educational 
opportunities, there are those who, in the end, say "we
are giving them something." The judge lifted our rejected group
above the status of the panhandle, the indigent sitting on the corner 
holding a cup for alms, to the table of American liberty. He
hoisted them from the sputtering flesh pots in the backyard of
human liberties and placed them around the bargain counter
where men meet as equals under the law. Said the judge: "We
want no Chamberlain umbrella appeasement."
In that great Chicago speech, he coined and handed out to
the world that memorable phrase: "We do not want the chains
of slavery gold plated, we want them stricken off."
Truly there are few greater exponents of civil liberties and
genuine equality in America today than Judge Waring.
His injunction that what is meant by State Rights, is the continuation 
of the Negro as a second class citizen cannot be over emphasized. 

Ours is a great fight, with a long tedious journey ahead of
us and here is food from a great American that will cheer and invigorate 
us on our way.
May his number multiply to the end that he himself portrayed
in his last words, "Let us cease singing the hymn of hate and sing
the Battle Hymn of the Republic, that a race of lost Americans'
might join in the grand chorus:
"MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY
OF THE COMING OF THE LORD."

What Is Subversive?

Singled out by a New Jersey group which is supposed to be
representative of "good" citizens of this country, has been Dr. Mary
McLeod Bethune, in a manner only too characteristic of the smear
technique which infests the U.S. Today.
An American Legion Auxiliary "postponed" hearing her
speak, because of charges she is "subversive."
The time has come, then, to raise the question: what is being
subversive?
Is it subversive of our American traditions and ideals for a Negro 
woman to build a school in the South, starting it on a dump
heap and raising it by personal efforts over more than 40 years to
an accredited college with properties worth more than a million
dollars?
Is it subversive to employ a remarkable administrative odility, 
not for personal profit, but to raise the living and educational
standards of a submerged section of our population?
To speak with such conviction constantly in favor of peace
and justice and human rights that great-leaders in our Nation, including 
two Presidents, have listened and approved?
To live a blameless life for four score years, according to the
precepts of the Sermon on the Mount, carrying out every step of
the way the teachings of Jesus?
To make the campus of the school she founded a site where
true democracy is practiced, with no bars raised against anyone
because of race, color or religion? . .
To love young people and serve as their leader over a lifetime, 
instilling in them the ideals of human brotherhood?.
To summon the leading women of the U. S. in a conference
whose aim was the mobilization of all women everywhere in a
crusade for peace and understanding?
Or is it subversive to smear, without cause, a woman of great
achievement, to humiliate her publicly and to interfere with her
democratic right of free speech?
Those of us who have known Mary McLeod Bethune, through
the years, from the days of her physical vigor, when she labored
with her own hands, teaching by example as well as precept, to
today, when time has cut down her physical forces and turned to
snow the tresses which frame her wonderful black face, know the
answer to these questions without equivocation.
In the fullest meaning of the word Mary McLeod Bethune has
been and is a true. American in spirit and in deed. No smear can
destroy the harvest of her lifetime of service to her Country. Her
record needs no "checkup."
But episodes such as the attack made upon her in New Jersey
can make us fear for the ideals which have been the basic philosophy 
of our Nation. Who is safe from the true subversive? — L. R. D

Staying Alive
With the peak of the travel season near at hand; this is a
proper time to remind readers that vacations are enjoyed most
when the vacationers return home alive. Each year thousands of
Americans start out enthusiastically on summer vacations and
never return to their homes, having become victims of their own
carelessness of some other drivers' carelessness on the highway.
This is one of the great tragedies on the American scene and
the death toll resulting must somehow be cut down. The annual
death rate on the highways exceeds the rate in Korea.
Before leaving on your 1952 vacation, it is suggested that
you determine not to hurry, even though your time may be limited. 
Haste, carelessness, and defective automobiles cause most
highway tragedies. If you will practice patience and courtesy on
the highway, carefulness, and be sure your car is mechanically
sound, chances are you will return from this year's vacation sound
and refreshed.

BETWEEN THE LINES
Figuratively speaking the Jews
have gone to Palestine and built a
"nation in a day." The great work
wrought there is one of the miracles 
of modern times. But the
Jews have been driven through oppression 
to hang together as well as
hang separately. They have been
hanged both ways but they always
come back.
It has been aptly said that you
can't whip a man who will c o m e
back for one more round. The Jews
always come back. Because they do
they are the inspiration of the
ages. When Grant was appointed
commander-in-chief of the Union
forces under. Lincoln, the charge
was made that Grant was a drunkard. 
Lincoln's answer to this
charge was "Please tell me the
kind of liquor he drinks I am recommending 
it for all my generals." 

Grant, was given command and
he not only hung around Richmond, 
but he made Lee, the then
current southern good, bow at Appomattox. 
The Point, here is, the
Negro, should observe closely how
the Jews get things, done and go
and do likewise.
Not only are the Jews achieving
in Palestine, but here in America
That threatens them with anti
Semitism 
a la the Ku Klux Klan.
The Jew is marching towards a
certain goal.
"Together" is the word. Negroes
are marching toward a given goal
but certainly it cannot, be said
that they are marching "together." 
They are marching every way
but "together." They are marching 
every way but "together.'
Education has in many ways
divided the Negro. The ambition to
leadership is like a consuming fire
The story went the rounds yesteryear 
that there was a great circus
in town and it had of course the
usual side show.
The hawker for the side-show
was telling the crowd that inside
the tent was to be seen" a sight
never before seen and would never
be seen again." People in their
guillibility just crowded the sideshow. 
The curtain went up and
three Negroes were seen tugging at
a rope tied to a stab in the center
of the stage. Then remarked the
announcer:
"Gentlemen and ladies, yen see
here something you have never
seen before and will never see
again, three Negroes all pulling
together."
Nearly eleven-tenths of what the
man said was true. It is hard to
get Negroes together on any one

point, not that the masses are lack
ing in followership; but the leadership 
is divided hopelessly. Too
often the headlines and a specious
popularity are the real objectives
of the leaders and not the objectives 
of the masses. We might add
too often the exchequer of the
leader has the paramour consideration. 

Every organization of Negroes is
on the eve of a split. One Negro
refuses to follow another, and so
tie pulls out with his crowd. Even
if a crowd pulled out to organize
a grand-united order of struggles
hell-bound there would Be those
to join it.
What ever foolishness the Negro
masses may evince they may be
abundantly pardoned at is too
often the stupidity and the cupidity 
of this leadership that does
the damage.
Within a few months Negroes
will be called upon to help elect
a President of these United States.
It is difficult to imagine a more
hopeless array; of candidates.
Taft, the "civil righter" of the
north is in the tame class with.
Russell of Georgia. Between devil
Russell and witch Taft I prefer
devil Russell who is at least honest.

The Tip-Off
By EMORY O. JACKSON
COLUMBUS, Ga. — (SNS) —In
close elections, the Negro vote in
Muscogee County, or Columbus,
Ga., is regarded as the balance of
power.
On the eve of election, this reporter 
and Percy Lee Taylor, editor
and publisher of the Columbus,
World, journeyed around the city,
chatting" with both politicians and
political action leaders. Politicians
openly admitted that the Negro
vote was a factor here.

Civic leaders in Columbus opened 
the fight which resulted in removing 
the racial
barriers in the
Democratic primary. 
Georgia
sought to get,
around the 8-to1 
decision by the
U. S. Supreme
Court in the
Smith vs. Allwright 
case of
April 3, 1944 which
paved the way
for the restoration 
of the Negro
vote where it
could count. In the name of the
Rev. Primus E. King, a barber and
minister, a suit was filed against
the club-style Georgia "white only
primary." In April, 1946 the U. S.
Supreme Court gave its negative
approval of a lower court decision
opening the Georgia Democratic
primary to Negro voters.

Since winning the ballot eight,
years ago Negro leaders have
watched policemen of their group
be added, witnessed an increased
amount of recreational opportunities 
"(a new park is to be built)
Less alleged abuse of Negro Soldiers
is heard and the general, atmosphere 
of the community has a
better, cultural odor.

People in this city are living politics 
and talking voting. Walking
to the office of the Columbus World
from the railroad station I watched 
placards and signs urging the
people to "Vote as you please but
please vote." In the stores, cafes
and on the streets voting was on
the lips of the people with an election 
coming up. The ordinary man
is feeling the power of the ballot
which brings to him benefits which
begging cannot get nor money. A
non-voter by the nature of his zero
political status, shows that he places
a low valuation on democracy.

While it appears, that Columbus
leaders sense this vital importance
of voting, things are far from
ideal. The non-partisans league of
voters is split up into feuding factions. 
Court battles are being
fought over the title. Some politicians 
are trying to secure voters
through the discredited barbecueand-beer 
appeal.

What is the status of Negro
voting in the other 23 counties?
Ben Hill, Chattahoochee. Clay,
Crisp, Dodge, Dooly, Harris, Houston, 
Lee, Macon, Marlon, Peach,
Pulaski, Quitman, Randolph, Schley, 
Stewart, Sumter, Taylor, Terrell, 
Turner, Webster and Wilcox.
Until the leaders begin to examine
the status of the Negro vote on a
Congressional District level, building 
leadership at the branchhead
in the sagebrush area, political
freedom will remain an elusive pursuit, 
it seems to me.

Democrats Warn Against
Progressive Compromise
Four democracratic 
presidential aspirants warned, 
their party Saturday against
compromising on progressive principles 
such as civil rights and urged
a continued strong foreign aid program. 

Mutual security administrator W.
Averell Harriman. Sen. Estes Kefauver 
of Tennessee, Sen. Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota and Sen.
Brien McMahon of Connecticut
joined in sounding this theme in
addresses before Americans for
democratic action.
President Truman is expected to
voice similar views when he delivers 
a "major" speech tonight to
the some 700 delegates to the fifth
annual convention of the Ada, a
liberal anti communist political organization. 

Harriman declared that the U. S.
has the Russians "on the run" and
said "we've got to keep them on the
run "He warned against trying to
"compress' the nation's survival into 
a pre-conceived budget.
The foreign aid chief asserted:
"The danger is not abroad this
year-the danger is right here in the
United States. The fundamental 
issue is wheither we have con
fidence 
in the people of this country 
and ourselves that we can move
forward at home and abroad.
"Anybody trying to compress the
survival and security of the United,
States into a pre-conveived idea of
a budget is doing a great disservice
to our country."
Humphrey, Minnesota's "favorite
son" candidate, blasted republican
hopefuls like Gen. Eisenhower and
pointedly warned democrats who
want to "compromise' the civil
rights plank in their party's platform. 

He declared: "I say in all solemnity 
that the democratic party does
not deserve to endure if it equivocates 
on the issue of civil rights."
McMahon also asserted that
"there can be no compromise on
civil rights" and called a 'point
five" program of American people
working to help peoples abroad.
Kefauver said the American people
are "not afraid" of progress. But
he added that "progressives" face
a crucial test this year and must
stand for liberalism both at home
and abroad.
He said: "you can't be a liberal
overseas and a reactionary at home.
That is impossible. A reactionary
domestic policy means a reactionary
foreign policy, and make no mistake
about that."

CAVE-IN KILLS 4 BOYS
Seven boys were
pinned under tons of earth when
the banks of a 9-foot excavation
for a sewer line crashed down on
them. Dust raised by the cave-in
attracted Mrs. Emso Howard, who
lived nearby. She ran to the scene
with a shovel and began screaming 
for help. Police and firemen,
working frantically, rescued three
of the boys but four of the boys
were suffocated under the sand befor 
thier bodies could be found.

DOG DETECTIVE
Found grieving
beside the body of his master, Demetrio 
Saurez, 45-year-old garden
worker, who had been stabbed to
death. Falucho, a black mongrel
dog, was taken to police headquarters 
where suspects in the case
were being held. When Ismael Romero, 
24, appeared, Falucho tried
to attack him. Romero later admitted 
stabbing Saurez in argument.

Yergan Urges
Negroes To
Shun Red Party
Dr. Max
Yergan, who testified before the Internal 
Security. Subcommittee of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
concerning his past Communist
associations but denied he was a
Communist, last Tuesday urged
colored peoples to shun Communism 
as they would a poison.
In a prepared statement Issued
to the press, he said:
"It is my considered opinion
that Communism, its agents and
its dupes constitute one of the
deadliest dangers to freedom, democray, 
and therefore our coun
try 
today.
"It is for this reason that I appear 
voluntarily before this committee 
which is rendering vital
service to our country in routing
out and exposing the activities and
influence of Communists in the
most important aspects of our national 
life today.
"I testify, with a sense of conscious 
pride in my American citizenship, 
my membership of the Negro 
race, and the fact that my three
sons serve as officers in the United 
States Air Force.
"My experience leads me to the
strongest possible conviction that
the Communist, forces mean, no
good to Negroes in America, to the
people of Africa, or to other hither 
to underprivileged people who
now seek arid are on the threshold 
of a better life.
"I speak here out of ah experience 
of nearly twenty years in
Africa as an executive of the
Young Men's Christian Association,
as a lecturer in Negro history at
the College of the City of New
York, and more recently as the
founder of the Council on African
Affairs, president of the National
Negro Congress, and a less active
member of a number of other organizations 
which by every test
are quite accurately described as

Communist fronts.
"I founded the Council on African 
Affairs, but to my everlasting
shame I permitted the Communists 
to take, control of it, and it is
with a sense of shame also that I
recall that. I was among those
duped by Communists and other
organizations.
"They look in vain who expect
moral leadership or even wise political 
guidance from Communists
for those who desire and work for
on ever widening democracy.

THE NATION
CAPITAL
The next Recorder of Deeds of
the District of Columbia won't be
anyone who aided in getting President 
Truman in the mess in which
he now finds himself.
Up until the time he nominated
Earl Wayne Beck, a Kansas City
political crony, anyone had the
right to do anything he wished to
get the appointment as a successor
to the Rev. Marshall Shepard, now
the Philadelphia Recorder of Deeds.
But after Mr. Truman nominated
Beck, the Administration considers
It lese majesty for any Government
employee to have done anything to
block Beck's confirmation.
Somebody circulated among Senators 
and Representatives photostat
copies of articles which ran in the
Kansas City Star back in 1939 and
1940 concerning an investigation of
charges that Beck had mismanaged
the Jackson County (Missouri)
home for delinquent colored boys
and girls and had maltreated his
wards.
These Charges were me basis of
the Senate District of Columbia
Committee's investigation of Beck's
fitness to be the Recorder of Deeds
here, although the committee voted
to report his nomination unfavorably 
as a slap at Mr. Truman.
If the House passes the Senateapproved 
bill to take away from the
President the power to appoint the
Recorder of Deeds and give It to
the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, and if Mr. Truman approves 
the measure, somebody like
John R. Pinkett, Sr., or Joe Greene,
both real estate operators, ought to
get the job.
Their reputations are as clean as
a hound's teeth and either one of
them would lend dignity and respectability 
to the office. There are
other residents of the District of
Columbia whose availability local
civic associations can well begin, to
consider.
Another "iffy" proposition: If the
bill becomes law, the District of
Columbia Democratic Central Committee, 
of which "Jiggs" Donohue
a District Commissioner, is a member 
has a candidate, but William L.
Houston, the committee treasurer
isn't divulging his name.
Judge Almond W. Scott of the
District of Columbia Municipal
Court and Mrs. Scott attended Pre–
sident and Mrs. Truman's reception
to the Judiciary at the White House
the other evening, but Judge Andrew 
J. Howard of the same court
and Mrs. Howard who were invited, 
did not attend for some reason.
Columbia Lodge of Elks here has
endorsed Herb Jones, grand organizer, 
to succeed the late Finley Wilson 
as grand exalted ruler of the
Elks, but Morning Star Lodge is
supporting Bob Johnson of Philadelphia, 
the acting grand exalted
ruler.

REVIEWING
THE
NEWS
By WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor Atlanta Daily World
Those of us who admire and maintain support for the President 
can appreciate his firm stand on the "Fair Deal Program."
The fact that his broad stand for human rights over against material 
and property rights, has been very damaging to him in prestige 
and votes, has had little or no effects on his point of view and
belief in the individual American. You can appreciate a man
who is honest enough to face issues and problems on the basis of
their worth and significance as they affect the total American population. 
There is little value in a man who goes around parading
in a different light.
The President, even at this late stage, has come out once
more to emphasize his stand on the New Deal Program and call
upon honest and faithful Americans to support such a platform in
the coming election. It would be wise, as we see it for those who
wish to be elected, to follow his advice. He is calling for support
without compromise.
No honest and true American can afford to be counted
against respecting the President for the stand that he takes in interest 
of his party and the nation. Those, politicians who world
distort and confuse the people with the interpretation of FEPC and
other aspects of the New Deal, are doing so purely on political
grounds which in the final analysis have no basis for a constructive 
program.
We might go along with Senator Kefauver on the FEPC question 
up to the point where he insists on obtaining such a law purely 
on educational grounds. We realize, that education is a factor
and a very important one indeed, but we doubt that such a program 
would be sufficiently effective in states and areas where,
discrimination is still prevalent. Stern measures are needed in
such areas where political forces and factions are allowed to twist
and confuse the thinking of the people against a progressive program. 

The South and the rest of the nation has had a long time to
use the educational approach in regard to employment practices.
Very little if anything has been done along this line. The excuse
always comes up that the time isn't ripe for this "sort pf thing or
that to put such a practice into operation would do far more harm
than good.
Such excuses are always made by the leadership in various
communities and the politicians who run the show. The masses
have never been approached oh the matter of FEPC. Professional 
politicians are afraid to approach the masses on the question.
The fact is, that the masses would be more inclined to work with
such a program and that is what selfish interests and political factions 
don't want.
It is time that we should stop kidding ourselves about what
FEPC has to offer. There is far more in it for the good of the
American people on a whole than pilitical leaders are willing to
bring but. The masses today are far ahead of much of our leadership. 
This may account for the President's success.
His ability to see this fact has placed him far ahead of most
of his contemporaries. This might, well indicate why he maintains 
such high faith in individual Americans.

against respecting the President for the stand that he takes in interest 
of his party and the nation. Those, politicians who world
distort and confuse the people with the interpretation of FEPC and
other aspects of the New Deal, are doing so purely on political
grounds which in the final analysis have no basis for a constructive 
program.
We might go along with Senator Kefauver on the FEPC question 
up to the point where he insists on obtaining such a law purely 
on educational grounds. We realize, that education is a factor
and a very important one indeed, but we doubt that such a program 
would be sufficiently effective in states and areas where,
discrimination is still prevalent. Stern measures are needed in
such areas where political forces and factions are allowed to twist
and confuse the thinking of the people against a progressive program. 

The South and the rest of the nation has had a long time to
use the educational approach in regard to employment practices.
Very little if anything has been done along this line. The excuse
always comes up that the time isn't ripe for this "sort pf thing or
that to put such a practice into operation would do far more harm
than good.
Such excuses are always made by the leadership in various
communities and the politicians who run the show. The masses
have never been approached oh the matter of FEPC. Professional 
politicians are afraid to approach the masses on the question.
The fact is, that the masses would be more inclined to work with
such a program and that is what selfish interests and political factions 
don't want.
It is time that we should stop kidding ourselves about what
FEPC has to offer. There is far more in it for the good of the
American people on a whole than pilitical leaders are willing to
bring but. The masses today are far ahead of much of our leadership. 
This may account for the President's success.
His ability to see this fact has placed him far ahead of most
of his contemporaries. This might, well indicate why he maintains 
such high faith in individual Americans.

MY WEEKLY SERMON
By REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
(Pastor Mississippi Boulevard,
Christian Church)

There are three falsely imagined
release in life.. Namely, bankruptcy, 
divorce, and death. Bankruptcy.. 
A release from nagging debts,
divorce, a release from a nagging
mate, death, a release from a nagging 
life. The first two are manmade. 
The last, God-made.
Live right arid there will be no
bankruptcy. Live right and there
will be no divorce. Live right and
death will be a glorious transition.
One of the saddest, most tragic
pictures is a broken home. I lived
in one. My father, once, a wonderful 
father and great husband, fell
a victim in his late years to a modern 
Delilah. And there followed a
broken home.
So many homes have been broken 
because a Delilah crept in and
the ties of love snapped. A marriage 
may be consummated in love
and the fires of love may burn
brightly for a time Then, suddenly 
go out he big question arises
'Why?' What must be done to prevent 
love's severance?
Well, men (husbands) keep up
the little courtesies, the little attentions, 
Without these the wife's
life becomes a ceaseless humdrum.
Let your marriage be a ceaseless
coutrship.
Ladies, (wives), keep up your
personal appearances. Let your life
be a perpetual honeymoon.
Another earthquake that shakes
the foundation of married life is a
stingy, Tightwad of a husband.
Still another is a careless, spendthrift 
of a wife. Living beyond
one's income has wrecked many a
home. Too heavy credit installments, 
loan sharks, trying to live
like the Smiths and the Jonses are
termites of a married life.
Careless house keeping, poor cooking, 
(feed the brute), will alienate
the husband's affection. A double
standard is a home wrecker. If it
is okay for husband to smoke a

cigar, the wife has a right to smoke
a cigarette. If it is okay for the
husband to have a girl friend, it is
right for the wife to have a boy
friend. All of these, things are
grossly wrong in themselves. Away
with the double standard. One
standard for all and let Jesus'
teaching be that standard.
The great force that holds a
couple together and makes the
home sacred is love. Husband,
love your wives". Likewise, wives,
love your husbands. Family loyalty 
is a fruit of that love. Family
loyalty impels each member, husband 
and wife, parent and child, to
stand up for the rest of the family
and preserve the family integrity.
Wife, don't tell the public your
husband's faults. Husband, don't tell
the world your wife's, faults. Don't
hang the family's soiled linens on
the public clothes line.
It is grandly true that there are
millions and millions of fine husbands 
wives, families, homes. It
is also grandly true that.
"Home is not merely four square
walls
With pictures hung and gilded;
Home is where affection calls,
Where there are shrines the heart
hath builded.
"Husbands love your wives as
Christ loved the church, and gave
himself for it."
Yes, Christ is loved that he gave
Gave everything that He had...
Eph. 5:25. That we poor, deluded,
miserable, fallen, and sinful children 
might be forgiven, cleansed
and redeemed.
Let us, likewise love Jesus, our
family, and all of God's children
It you want to see Jesus you've got
to love everybody. Even a nagging
wife and a faithless husband!
