Assistant Secretary Wilkins Lays It On The
Line
Speaking from the theme: "Hours of Sharing" at the Warren 
Methodist Church here Sunday, Hon. J. Ernest Wilkins, Assistant 
Secretary of Labor and high Methodist churchman, well
expressed the doctrine of sharing. Ringing somewhat like some
of the themes running through the sermon on the mount, well
did the speaker drive home the fact that this America should
share its Democracy with the world. This sharing is contingent,
he would have us believe, upon beginning, like charity, here at
home.
No country or organization has ever been able to make
that effective impression on any phase, order, religion or government 
without first laying the groundwork at home.
That a Democracy should be a living objective, was among
the sound truths the eminent speaker would lay down. A Democracy 
walking, was the kind of political doctrine he would
preach. He had no patience with the inanimate spectacular gesture 
of "famous quotes and lifeless phrases" from the old days
without that substance of a willingness to let the world see a
Democracy walking.
It Was unanimously agreed that Civil Rights is the chief
subject before civilization ct this time. To this end was much
of the powerful message directed.
He expressed the desire to see no more "Little Rocks, Clintons" 
and other such datelines that of late have made unpleasant 
world news for points in the old world wedded to their
Idols of dictatorial practices and inhuman exploitation, while
holding up for their license such happenings as came out of
an unwillingness on the port of certain interests and sections
to obey the mandates of their own government.
The speaker scoffed at the intimation that a depression
was in the offing; that normal recessions are always within the
grasp of an efficient government such as we enjoy today. That
the recession will be short lived, has already been demonstrated 
in the measures proposed by the White House in the huge
spending program which will furnish real employment which
will boost our normalcy out of the area of "made work" and
wet-nursing.
Those who brought Mr. Wilkins here were the means of
making of valuable investment in the interests of measures directed 
in the line of making our own Democracy work.

Crimes And Rumors Of Crime
In a standardized system of organized society, calling every 
day for more and better teachers and schools, it certainly
does not become those designated as the beneficiaries of these
expensive facilities to go on the front pages of the newspaper
every day as those who would lead in the criminal field.
The heavy sowing of effort, talent and taxes should not
bring in that bountiful harvest of crime which reverts to the
backs of the taxpayers and teachers in the form of upkeep for
juvenile corrections, penal institutions and asylums.
Lightly reminded, those indulgences of teen-agers and those
in their early twenties are certainly no contribution nor encouragement 
to our social efforts.
Shockingly, we see where youngsters are molesting young
children, robbing plates of busing.
What would civilization think of ghouls robbing girl groves
and taking one girl from her vault and leaving the body exposed
in the woods with match-burns about it?
This would read worse than a page from the darker ages
before the dawn of civilization and would remind those of our
generation that we still have among us those who would not
qualify as much for the rough stony age of antiquity.
Thrill killers, young boy hiding time bomb in his mother's
suitcase to draw insurance, and ether unseemly crimes altogether 
UNFIT TO PRINT would make civilization appear that
the schools are on vacation and the church taking a holiday.
The Sputniks, the Vanguards and the Explorers of modern
scientific range are results of exhaustive scientific findings; these
would represent man at his tops in science and invention; would
the laments around crime represent the heights of our schools,
churches, social forums and educational factors?
Never.

AFRICA, 1958

By DR. C. C. ADAMS
Corresponding Secretary
Foreign Mission Board of the
National Baptist Convention, U.S.A.,
Inc.
ISSELE UKU. Nigeria.— arrived
in Kano, Nigeria, on the first birthday 
of Ghana's Independence, a
most significant date to watch in

Agrican future history, and, like
hundreds of other African towns
and communities, is losing its
weird and old appearance to modernization. 
It is falling in step
with "new Nigeria" and new Africa.
What makes Africa what she is?
Why are African men and women 
filling the universities of Europe, 
America and Canada, walking 
away with scholastic honors, to

return to serve their homelands?
Why are schools, colleges, universities 
and hospitals springing up
all over Africa as if by magic?
Africa today, in 1958, is stirred
and in ferment, along with the rest
of the world. In China, India and
Africa, the true and unselfish work
of missionaries have stirred the
eagles nests and the eaglets are
anxious in try their wings.
Thus Africa is boiling with the
desire to be free, filled with the
aspirations for liberty like an overheated 
cauldron. Both the answers
and the reasons for this significant
smouldering can be traced to the
diligent, patient workings of missionaries. 
Unfortunately, the world
has long been ignorant and unappreciative 
of what missionaries
are doing.
To go from the specific to the
general, Dr. S. W. Martin here
at Issele Uku, heads the Pilgrim
Mission which encompasses a 50
mile area. There are 50 churches, a
high school, teachers college, and
40 fielding schools. Two hundred
and fifty loyal and devoted workers
are Dr. Martin's great team. There
are hundreds of others like Dr.
Martin and his team scattered
about Africa, and they have been
working tirelessly for more than a
century.
They have created the fire that
burns away the false ideas and
practices of ignorance, superstitutions, 
slavery and race superiority.
There is left the true vision and
stature of the image of man as
God intends him to be: Free, intelligent, 
developed and bowing to
worship only God.
Political agitation had no part or
purpose in the missionary teachings.
They simply preached and taught
the Gospel of Christ, the results
of which is to make men free. "Ye
shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free."

IN THE NATION'S CAPITOL
The Congress appears bent on whittling away the constitutional 
right to a fair trial guaranteed by the due process
clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
One example of the danger is the Junior bill which would
strip the Supreme Court of appelate jurisdiction in any case
where there is at issue:
1. Congressional investigations and
contempts of Congress.
2. Executive action by the Federal 
Government relating to the
removal of employees on security
grounds.
3. State statutes or executive regulations 
dealing with subversive
activities within the state.
4. Local school regulations concerning 
subversive within teaching 
body.
5. State requirements for admission 
to the bar, ory action taken 
under such requirements.
Another example of the danger
is the bills introduced by Senators
Olin D. Johnson and Strom Thurmond. 
South Carolina Democrats
which would deny appellate jurisdiction 
to the Supreme Court and
United States Courts of Appeal in

school desegregation suits.
Of the same general tenor, it appears, 
is the bill which would restrict 
the use of the writ of habeas
corpus so that it would no longer
be possible for a prisoner convicted
of a state crime to secure review of
the state court proceedings, in
which a federal consitutional question 
has been deduced, if he could
make a record in the state courts
n which he could ask the Supreme
Court for a review.
Although the writ of habeas corpus 
is regarded as one of the most
important safeguards of individual 
liberty, the hill passed the House
by voice vote after an hour's general 
debate.
The writ of habeas corpus has
for its object the bringing of a
persons before a court to have officer 
holding him to show by what
authority the prisoner is being detained. 

Federal civil courts have jurisdiction 
over applications for writs of
habeas corpus from persons confined 
by the civil courts. Congress
vested them with that jurisdiction.
Federal civil courts have jurisdiction 
over applications for writs of
habeas corpus from persons confirmed 
by the civil courts. Congress
vested them with that jurisdiction.
The jurisdiction given to the federal 
courts to issue writs of habeas
corpus originally extended only to
prisoners in custody under authority 
of the United States. It was not
until 1867 that the power to issue
the writ was exetended to an applicant 
under sentence of a state
court.
Ordinarilly, the lower federal
courts inquire only into the questions 
of whether the court that
tried the prisoner had jurisdiction
over his person at the time of the
trial and over the crime with which
he was charged.
The Supreme Court, however, has
ruled, in effect, that even though
a court may have had jurisdiction
at the beginning of a case, it may
lose jurisdiction as the result of
violation of a defendant's constitutional 
rights in the course of the
proceedings, and that a person imprisoned 
as the result of such a
trail may seek relief through the
writ of habeas corpus and establish 
the violation of such constitutional 
rights by evidence outside of
the record made in the case.
The practice is for a prisoner to
exhaust all required procedure to
state review of his conviction before 
seeking a writ of habeas corpus 
in the federal courts. An applicant 
is barred unless he has "exhausted 
the remedies availably to
him in the courts of the State., by
any available procedure."
The law books are full of cases
in which the constitutional rights
of colored persons have been violated 
by state courts, such as racial
discrimination in the selection of
grand and petty jurors, coerced con
fessions, 
denial of the right to
counsel, and any number of other
abuses.
If the final determination of these
federal consitiutional questions had
been left to state courts, many a
colored person would have been
railroaded to the scaffold or the
electric chair. Only the intervention 
of federal courts saved them
from such a fate.
The advocates of the bill seek to
take away from federal judges the
power to entertain attacks on state
court criminal trails.
They would make it no longer possible 
from a prisoner convicted of
a state crime in a state court to go
into the federal courts and obtain
a writ of habeas corpus.
Under the bill, an application for
writ of habeas corpus on behalf
of such a prisoner may be entertained 
by a federal court only if it
presents a substantial constitutional
question and then only if it meets
all three of the following conditions: 

Experts urge aftercare for committed 
delinquents.

MEALTIME MELODIES!
There are almost as many canned
pear salads as there are days in
the year, for this versatile fruit
goes well with practically all other
foods. This particular salad combines 
canned pears with cottage
cheese. A few salted peanuts are
added for texture
contrast and a
sprig of parsley
and dash of paprika 
give color.
This is an excellant 
main
course luncheon
salad. The cottage 
cheese and
nuts offer high
quality protein,
the lettuce and
pears contribute

vitamins and minerals, and
happily, because the pears are rich
in celulose sugar, they satisfy the
sweet tooth so there's no yearning
for that calorie-laden slice of cho
colate 
cake or apple pie a la mode.
Canned pears are also recommended 
for many special diets because 
of their low residue and lack
of irritating qualities. And, of
course, mothers have found canned
pears are an excellent food for
helping toddlers make the transition 
from strained to solid foods. The
fine texture of the pears and their
refreshing flavor seem to appeal
to youngsters who clench their
jaws against other solids.
But the main reason for keeping
a good stock of canned pears on
the shelf is the fact that they are
just downright delicious. Their
sweet but faintly spicy flavor is
refreshing as spring water on a hot
day. Combine them with meats,
poultry, cheese, other fruits or
vegetables.... they are always just
the right touch. What's more, in
winter when menus are apt to be
weighed down with pastries, canned 
pears bring a fresh, spring
like air to the table. Keep several
on hand always.

Negro Musicians'
1958 Convention
Place Is Changed
Due
to the fact that the management
of this city's Broadwood Hotel has
changed hands, the headquarters
of the 1958 convention of the National 
Association Negro Musicians
Inc., scheduled for August 16-22,
will be hold at the Benjamin
Franklin Hotel, 9th and Chestnut
Streets.
The latter edifice will probably
provide a more democratic atmosphere, 
since it is situated but three
blocks from the world-famous
America's Building of Democracy
(formerly Independence Hail),
where the Liberty Bell first pealed
forth our national independence.

DESPERATE MAN
WAYNE D. OVERHOLSER'S
new Western thriller
© 1956, 1957. Wayne D. Overholser. From the novel published
by The Macmillan Co. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.
WE BURIED Elder Smith on
a warm afternoon, spring a
feeling and a smell in the air.
From somewhere over in Frank
Dance's field a meadowlark added
its sweet tone to our hymns.
Afterwards, when I was riding
home with Kip and his father, I
asked, "You didn't pick up any
sign at all?"
Frank shook his head. "I found
some cigarette stubs back of the
store, and a horse had been left
in the shed behind the schoolhouse, 
maybe for a couple of
hours, but no tracks. You know
how hard that ground is: packed
down like a floor."
We had nothing to go on then,
less even than I knew about my
father's killer. I said, "I guess
I should of told you before, Frank,
but I think the man we want
lives here in the park."
Frank nodded, tight-lipped. "I
figure the same, Dave. Whoever
done it must have known Joe's
and the Elder's habits. Joe always
went out the front door to milk.
The Elder always got up before
sunup and went out the back,
rain or shine, winter or summer."
Frank shook his head at me.
"What does that tell us?"
"One thing's sure," Kip said.
"If we'd taken Runyan's offer the
other night, Elder Smith would
be alive."
"I ain't so sure about that,
Kip," Frank said. "Maybe Runyan 
gave the order. Maybe Toll
did it, thinking that was what
his boss wanted. But then again,
maybe it was the same buzzard
who killed Joe figuring the job
was good for another chunk of
dinero. What I'm saying, is we
can't go off half cocked. Not yet."
We rode in silence until we
reached their lane, when Frank
said: "Don't tell anybody what
we're thinking, Dave. Not even
Gil or your mother."
"I won't," I said, and rode on.
We had church the following
Sunday morning, of a sort. Bess
refused to take charge because
she said it was no job for a
woman. Finally Frank Dance
walked up to the front of the
room. He made a ludicrous figure
standing beside the organ, red in
the face, the Bible almost lost in
his great hands, his deep voice
expressionless as he stated each
word as if it were an entire sentence 
and had no connection with
the next one.
After the service was over we
lingered outside. The day was a

warm one with a few lacy white
clouds caressing the top of Campbell 
Mountain. No one seemed to
want to go home. Fear was with
us. There was no mistaking it.
Not that it was really voiced in
words, but everyone of us, I was
sure, was asking himself the obvious 
question: Who would be
next?
There were plans to make if
we were to go on living here.
Bess said she'd teach school next
fall if we couldn't find anyone.
Lorna Dance agreed to come over
and keep the store open in the
afternoons and work the mail
that came in from Buhl twice a
week.
Then Matt Colohan couldn't
control himself any longer. He
shouted: "You're a bunch of fools!
We had a chance to sell at a good
price and get out of the park,
but you wouldn't let me do it."
"Shut up, Matt," Johnny Strong
said. "Shut that up."
But now that it was started,
he couldn't shut up. " gonna
talk," Matt shouted. "It's past
time to talk. We've had two killings. 
They can go right on smoking 
us down one at a time, and
what can we do if we don't get
out? Tell me that Johnny, if
you're so smart."
But Johnny had no answer. He
looked at his wife who holding 
her baby in her arms, and she
looked at him, but neither said a
word. I glanced at Riley MacKay.
His gaze was on his wife. She
was the city girl who'd leave Riley, 
folks said; but now she was
holding her shoulders high and
proud and she was the one who
answered Matt.
"We're not smart, Matt." she
said. Not any of us. None of us
wants to die, either, but we're
going to stay because our homes
are here."
You never knew about a person, 
I thought, not what was inside 
until the squeeze was on.
Mrs. Riley MacKay would be all
right, and the gossips like Mrs.
Colohan would stop talking about
her. She'd stay with Riley and
make her home hoe and raise her
children. Yes, she'd be all right,
and even Matt was ashamed.
"Yeah, reckon we'll stay," he
muttered.
Then Gil said: "If Dave wasn't
such a stupid fool, Elder Smith
would be alive today."
We looked at him. We stopped
breathing, I guess. I know I did.
It was the same as if we had
been shocked by a sudden down
pour 
of cold water. He didn't
look at me. He stood beside my
mother, about ten feet from me,
his face grave, his gaze moving
from Frank Dance to Johnny
Strong and on to Luke Jordan.
Then a fire got hold of me and I
began to tremble.
For me, at that moment, everyone 
disappeared except Gil. Frank
Dance's voice barely reached my
ears, "What do you mean, Gil?"
"Why, he had to do everything
himself when Pa was killed," Gil
said. "Didn't even stay to help
get Pa's body inside. Just grabbed
his gun and saddled up and spent
all day hunting that saddle tramp
Jones. While he was doing that,
the killer got away, the same killer 
who shot Elder Smith."
Little red lights started dancing 
in front of my eyes. In that
one instant all the injustices I'd
suffered at Gil's hands whipped
through my mind.
I took two long strides and
hit him, my fist coming up from
my boot tops. Maybe he didn't
see it coming. Maybe he wanted
me to hit him. I don't really
know, but he didn't duck or try
to ward off my blow. I caught
him square on the chin, and he
went back and down, knocked
as cold as Frank Dance had
knocked Matt Colohan the night
of the meeting when Si Beam
was here.
A woman screamed. Another
one cried. "He's killed him!"
My mother was on her knees,
cradling Gills head in her lap.
She looked up at me, and I saw
hate in her eyes, or I thought I
did.
She said: "Go away, Dave.
Never come back. I don't want to
see you again."
I couldn't move for a time. I
just stood staring at her while
my world and my dreams came
tumbling down on top of me. The
Big Ten wouldn't be mine. I
couldn't marry Kitsy. I wouldn't
have any place to bring her, any
way to make a living for her.
I wheeled and ran toward my
horse. I felt a hand on my arm
—Johnny Strong's. I think—but
I jerked free and kept on. I
mounted and rode away, my horse
kicking up the soft dirt of the
road as he ran. I didn't look back,
and I couldn't look ahead.
Bess takes advantage of
Dave's anger to set a trap for
the killer. Be sure to follow her
daring plan in tomorrow's installment 
of "Desperate Man."

CHAPTER 21
WAYNE D. OVERHOLSER'S
new Western thriller
© 1956, 1957. Wayne D. Overholser. From the novel published
by The Macmillan Co. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.
WE BURIED Elder Smith on
a warm afternoon, spring a
feeling and a smell in the air.
From somewhere over in Frank
Dance's field a meadowlark added
its sweet tone to our hymns.
Afterwards, when I was riding
home with Kip and his father, I
asked, "You didn't pick up any
sign at all?"
Frank shook his head. "I found
some cigarette stubs back of the
store, and a horse had been left
in the shed behind the schoolhouse, 
maybe for a couple of
hours, but no tracks. You know
how hard that ground is: packed
down like a floor."
We had nothing to go on then,
less even than I knew about my
father's killer. I said, "I guess
I should of told you before, Frank,
but I think the man we want
lives here in the park."
Frank nodded, tight-lipped. "I
figure the same, Dave. Whoever
done it must have known Joe's
and the Elder's habits. Joe always
went out the front door to milk.
The Elder always got up before
sunup and went out the back,
rain or shine, winter or summer."
Frank shook his head at me.
"What does that tell us?"
"One thing's sure," Kip said.
"If we'd taken Runyan's offer the
other night, Elder Smith would
be alive."
"I ain't so sure about that,
Kip," Frank said. "Maybe Runyan 
gave the order. Maybe Toll
did it, thinking that was what
his boss wanted. But then again,
maybe it was the same buzzard
who killed Joe figuring the job
was good for another chunk of
dinero. What I'm saying, is we
can't go off half cocked. Not yet."
We rode in silence until we
reached their lane, when Frank
said: "Don't tell anybody what
we're thinking, Dave. Not even
Gil or your mother."
"I won't," I said, and rode on.
We had church the following
Sunday morning, of a sort. Bess
refused to take charge because
she said it was no job for a
woman. Finally Frank Dance
walked up to the front of the

Bacote Tells
Importance
Of the Vote
Dr. C. A. Bacote, professor of history 
at Atlanta University, told the
members of the Atlanta Frontiers
Club yesterday that eligibility to
vote should be a prerequisite to
membership in most of our social
and civic clubs. Appearing as guest
speaker before the group, the educator 
who is also chairman, of the
All - Citizens Registration Committee, 
talked on the subject of the
importance of voting. He said there
were 28,604 members of our race
qualified to vote in Atlanta and
while he deplored tills as a comparatively 
small percentage on the
basis of the total population, he
declared that over seventy per cent
of those registered also actually
cast a vote.
The speaker listed apathy, lack
of organization and leadership as
some of the obstacles to more qualified 
voters. He also expressed the
hope that more citizens will get
interested in the state and county 
primary elections. The state primary 
will be held in September
this year. Frontiersman Robert
Brisbane presented the speaker and
Program Chairman P. F. Ransom
announced that next Tuesday the
club will have as its guest, Ivan
Allen, formerly president of the
state Chamber of Commerce.
J. O. Thomas, president of the
club, expressed thanks for the support 
members were giving to the
Red Cross Blood Bank, and presided 
at yesterday's meeting which
was held as usual in Joe's Holiday
Room.

Tubman To Get
Liberian History
Book As Gift
Enroute
to Monrovia, Liberia is a unique
book which African studies program 
at Northwestern university,
is to be presented to President William 
V. S. Tubman, in commemoration 
of his 1954 visit to the United 
States.
At that time, the Liberian chief
executive saw, for the first time,
three small rare volumes of the
history, which had been printed
in 1912 by William H. Jones, Liberian 
counsul general in Chicago.
Under Dr. Merskovits' direction,
the three volumes were reproduced
by the Lakeside Press in a single
book.
President Tubman will receive
the volume from the hands of Ambassador 
Richard L. Jones, retired
Illinois National Guard General
and former Southside business executive.
