BLEACHES SKIN


NEW IMPROVED FORMULA




Omnibus Rights Bill
Pushed By Truman
President Truman is still urging
Congressional action on the omnibus 
bill containing most of his civil
rights proposals.
At his press conference last
Thursday, Mr. Truman was told
that the House Judiciary. Committee 
had delayed a voting on reporting 
out the omnibus civil rights bill
and was asked whether he was urging 
that the bill be brought out of
committee.
The President replied that he has
been urging that the measure be
reported out of committee for about
five years, and that he was still
urging this.
The omnibus civil rights bill covers 
a number of civil rights proposals 
made by Mr. Truman in the
special message he sent to Congress
February 2, 1948. Representative
Emanuel Celler, of New York, chairman 
of the House Judiciary Committee, 
introduced the measure in
the House. A companion bill, introduced 
by Attorney General J.
Howard McGrath while he was a
Senator from Rhode Island, is pending 
in a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, 
of which Senator James. O.
Eastland, Democrat, of Mississippi,
is the chairman.
No action has been taken on
the Senate bill since Attorney General
McGrath resigned from the Senate
last August, and Senator Eastland
became the subcommittee chairman.
The omnibus civil rights bill would
create a five-member. Civil Rights
Commission in the Executive branch
of the Government, raise the civil
rights section in the Justice Department 
to a divisional level with
an Assistant Attorney General in
charge, and also establish a Joint
Congressional Committee on Civil
Rights.
It also would strengthen existing
Federal civil rights laws and prohibit 
race discrimination or segregation 
in interstate travel.

Charleston Mayor
Gets Bid For
Indian Chief
The Saint Augustine historical
society wired the Mayor of Charleston, 
S. C., Wednesday that it is
definitely interested in the remains 
of Indian War Chief Osceola. 

The red man's remains are said to
lie in an unkept grave at Fort
Sumter near Charleston.
The head of Alabama's Department 
of archives and history, Mrs.
Marie Bankhead Owen, also has
a bid in for the famed chief's remains 
if the state of South Carolina 
and Florida are not interested
Osceola was a native of Alabama.
The wire followed an editorial
in the Miami Herald stating that
Florida was not interested in bring
ing the Chief back to St. Augustine 
where he was seized with 80 of
his Warriors on October 21, 1837.
Osceola and his war party were
advancing under a flag of truce to
discuss ending of the seven years
war at the time, and his betrayal
has been cited as a "Black Chapter" 
in America's history.
The wire from the St. Augustine
Society to the Charleston Mayor
read:, "Article March 5th Miami
Herald, states Florida, is not interested 
and desires to take appropriate 
action."

ON THE
REEL
BY REV. TASCHEREAU ARNOLD
Recently, we have read much
about animals in the news. These
members of the jungle family made
front page news in many of our
leading newspapers. They got better 
play then some of America's
human beings would have gotten,
especially the average Negro.
We ran across our good friend
the other day and we were mighty
glad to see him for we had in mind
a question or two we wanted to
asked him. So we urged him to give
us a little of his precious time. He
gladly consented to comply with
our request.
One thing about Brother Billie is
a little different from some of our
so-called Negro leaders who are
always following long way off
When there is real danger facing
the race; and, when the water
settles down, you can't turn for
them taking the lead and getting
in front of the flash bulbs to get
their pictures on the front page of
the newspapers.
"What do you think about the
Leopard escaping from the Zoo in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?" That's
what we asked our good friend. He
said that he was glad we asked him
that question for he had been
thinking about the same thing.
Our good friend began by saying
that the leopard and his mate were
getting along find in the jungles of

India until some smart people trap
ped them and brought them to civilization. 
He went on and pointed out
that they no doubt had to work hard
to secure their food in the jungles,
but they had plenty of room in
which to enjoy life in all of its
fullness. Something they didn't
have after they reached civilization. 

In the jungle their food was arranged 
for them by the handiworks
of God, not by man like it was
after they had reached their new
home in Oklahoma. In the jungle
the husband leopard never did get
too far away from his wife, Mrs.
Leopard. They were just one happy 
couple. That's all.
Brother Billie then pointed out
that there are many couples today
in big cities who were just plain
happy years ago in the backwoods
of say Georgia, but today they are
in the big cities falling victims to
all kinds of voice.
Our good friend further stated
that in the zoo Mr. Leopard and
his wife became lazy and they had
plenty of visitors daily. One writer
pointed out that Sister Leopard
didn't have to do anything much
but manicure her nails, powder her
face and try to look like some of
the "fast" present-day women.
Back in the jungle she had to get
up early and get about her duties.
So, according to Brother Billie,
Old Man Leopard the other day
while thinking things over in the
pit at the Oklahoma City zoo decided, 
after looking at his civilized
vistors, that he would rather be
back in the jungle of India.
He decided to do something
about it by jumping out of his pit.
Some say he went at least 18 miles
from the Zoo. Others say that he
didn't get very far. One thing is
certain through he went away, like
the Prodigal Son, he had sense
enough to return home. That's more
sense than some people in America
have today.
And again after Brother Leopard
freed himself he must have thought
about his mate and too he didn't
run into a warm jungle. He must
have said. "I will go back home
and explain to the wife." But, like
a good many bad men who leave
their wives, he came back home to
die with pneumonia. So death saved 
him from having to explain
where he had been. Perhaps if they
had been left in the jungle he
would be living today. And that's
that.

Match Postponed
Because of Jim Cro
The
old ghost of Jim Crow rose in Georgia 
once more last week, and a

was called off in Augusta.
Harry Mendel. Louis' booking
agent, said the fight was called off
at the last minute when city authorities 
refused to let Negroes sit
in ringside seats on a segregated
basis.
The city demanded that Negroes
be allowed to sit in the balcony
only.
Promoter Tom Mahoney said he
had agreed to sell ringside tickets
to Negroes in a special section.

Mayor O'Dwyer
Told of Ghetto
Mayor
O'Dwyer was told last week of the
effects of "ghetto" life on Negro
Americans. The report was submitted 
by the Mayor's Committee
on Unity.
The report declared that g
life provokes "insecurity and per sonal 
anxiety," pushes its inhabitants 
into the laps of "interests
which seek to profit by this separationof 
a group." and forces Negroes 
to play rents far in excess
of their income.
"People pay a larger percentage
of their income for rent than would
be true in an area of comparable
socio-economic status," the report
declared. This means "they have
practically nothing left after meeting 
their basic needs. Basic of
course, to this whole question, is
the involuntary segregation of Negroes 
in certain sections of the city," 
the report concluded.
The report was made in work
dealing with the housing and building 
department.
