The Need For Moral Rearmament
There is currently meeting in Mackinac Island, Michigan a
"Moral Rearmament Assembly." The Assembly was described as
"the ideology for all men everywhere."
It is singularly appropriate that such a group should come
together in times like these. "Moral Rearmament" is a universal
need which transcends the needs of nations for the destructive
kind of armament.
In the glorified days of chivalry, the sword was a symbol of
justice and righteousness. Its primary use was to right wrong
and wage war against the foes of decency. (The sword hilt, in
fact, was so constructed as to represent the cross, so that the user
would be constantly reminded of the cause of Christianity).
Since those relatively simple days, the word "sword" has become 
a symbol for armed violence. And just as the sword was
made obsolete by newer weapons, so are our modern weapons
being made obsolete by still newer ones.
There is the need, then, for a super weapon—a weapon that
will never tarnish, never become obsolete, never fail. There is
but one such weapon available today and only one Power is producing 
it.
That weapon is morality—and the Power that produces it is
Christianity. Not "Christianity" as opposed to Mohammedism or
Buddhism or Shinto, but Christianity as a universal principle overcoming 
national and ethnic boundaries, and encompassing all
of mankind.
. Through our earnest application to the great Power of Christianity, 
we can become ""morally rearmed." We will then have a
"sword and shield" against which all the Frankensteins of nuclear
fission cannot prevail.

MEALTIME MELODIES!
BY GRACE WILLIAMS
Do you have an educated palate?
Are you one of those people who,
"Just lov—e California avocado," or
think that Mobile shrimp is the
very essence of good eating and lobsters 
from Maine are simply tops
in foods?
Developing an appreciation for all
foods is a part of becoming educated. 
However, in our efforts to develop 
a cosmopolitan palate we tend
to look down our
nose at local foods
that ire plentiful
and inexpensive.
An example of this
snobbery is bologna 
sausage. We
usually buy bologna 
when our food
budget is just
about nil.
Buying bologna
to save on the
food bill is a good
practice, but let's
not think of bologna 
as just something to fill the
stomachs. This sausage is an excellent 
food. It compares favorably
with all the more expensive cuts of
meat.
Bologna is a versatile meat, too.
It can be broiled or fried and serv
ed 
at breakfast, sliced and served as
a cold cut for lunch. When your
favorite casserole recipe calls for
meat, bologna will often add just the
meatty flavor you want.
This "common-place" food can be
the glamor dish at your mid-summer 
buffet. For a buffet-picnic supper 
that's unusual, buy a two to
three pound large round of bologna
Peel carefully to leave a smooth
surface and score evenly in squares,
oblong or diamonds. Insert a whole
clove in the center of each section
on the top side. Place in a shallow
roasting pan and bake in a moderate
oven (350°F) for 45 minutes to one
hour or until heated through and
attractively browned on surface.
Roll may be basted with three table
spoons melted butter during baking 
if a browner surface is desired.
Serve on hot platter cutting in 1-4
inch slices. Garnish with broiled
tomato slices or pan — fried pineapple 
slices. This makes 8 to 12 servings. 

For an attractive and interesting
salad to accompany the roast bologna 
mix a pound of cottage cheese
with a quarter cup of honey. We
suggest that you serve the cheese
with spiced prunes, fresh apricot
halves, fresh peach halves and melon 
balls in a lettuce cup.

THE TIP-OFF
EMORY O. JACKSON
The Governor's Office, Montgomery, 
Ala.—(SNS—There were two
dramatic dissents, both on separate
issues, at the meeting of the State
Board of Education here Friday,
July 9 where a college president
was fired and a declaration adopted 
to ignore the May 17 Supreme
Court decision outlawing the segregated, 
school system.


Neither Dr. Seay nor Editor Dobbins 
saw fit to support each other's
dissent. Both made equally brilliant
representations of the ideas they
espoused. Theirs were both fair
play dissents..............
The Persons' preserve school segregation 
resolution said that (1)
the U. S. Supreme Court has yet
to state the how and when of its
anti-segregation pronouncement: (2)
that the state constitution requires
separation of the racial groups in
schools and that (3) unless ordered
by the courts, no unit of the Alabama 
public school system will be
permitted to de-segregate voluntarily. 
There is to be the status quo
at least until 1955.
However, Gov. Persons said that
the public was urged to continue to
work together to make the school
system the best. He said that school

officials were to act in exact accordance 
with the constitution of
Alabama. There was no discussion
and the resolution was adopted unanimously 
by roll call.
None of tnose attending the special 
board meeting chose to have
anything to say at this point. Although 
it had been widely published 
in the newspapers that the
school segregation question would
be discussed, other than Dr. Seay
there was no spokesman for the
Supreme Court's view present to
raise a voice. The militant Montgomery 
minister learned of the
hearing less than two hours before
it was to be held. Bishop James
Clair Taylor of the AME Zion
Church wanted to attend it but had
another engagement. He suggested
that the Alabama-born, Talladega
College trained Dr. Seay speak in
the name of the powerful AME
Zion Church.

Board members commented on
what a fine, friendly, competent
man Dr. Hill was and that nobody
had anything personal against him.
There was nothing professional
against him. However, there were
the admitted technical mis-doings
in which he misused no money nor
wasted any. Does this mean that if
a college president is friendly he is
not worthy of heading a public institution? 
The firing of Dr. Hill
needs to be searched into further, it
seems to me.


In substance Dr. Seay divided his
challenging plea into two parts:
(1 do what you ought do and can
do now lower the racial bars in
higher education and integrate the
teachers and (2 make plans now to
integrate in the below college
schools. In the subtlety, he told the
board members that they could
have made a better out preparing
for the changeover than trying to
block the workings of God.

The told the story of his daughter
who desired to attend the Medical
School of the University of Alabama
but ended up in an Eastern institution 
where a number of her classmates 
are white Southerners, the
latter able to attend the Alabama
medical school. In other words
white youth are leaving Alabama
for school where it is known that
Negro students are accepted.

Too few citizens know the workings 
of their government and the
relation of the cast ballot to its
operation. When the governor, the
state superintendent of education
and the legislative delegation are
elected the voters determine who
will look after public education of
every level in this state. Minorities
are not fairly represented on this
board. The Negro group which
constitutes approximately 34 per
cent of the Alabama population is
without any direct voice on this
board.

American Univ.

come qualified as lawyers. "Oppportunities 
for the Negro lawyer are un
limited. Each of the seven Memphis 
Negro attorneys is not only
well educated but is. I believe, successful. 
The field is wide open for
those who wish to practice law as
well as for those who desire to obtain 
full time use of their legal
know edge in government service or
in the employ of corporations
Moreover, businessmen, wether
an owner or an employee, is rendered 
more valuable because of the
legal knowledge gained during such
study.
"The study of law is highly recommended 
to those who desire to
learn their legal rights and how to
protect them," Mr. Aspero continued. 
"Great confidence and independence 
results. For this reason,
American University will teach constitutional 
law as early as possible.
"American University's College of
Law will strive to become the first
law school in the Western half of
Tennessee to obtain the approval of
the American Bar Association which
has, as yet endorsed only the law
schools of Vanderbilt at Nashville.
Cumberland at Lebanon, and the
State University at Knoxville," Mr.
Aspero said. "Among the requirements 
are the ownership of a law
library composed of at least, 7,500
volumes which will cost about
$15,000. This will constitute one of
the finest and largest law libraries
in the city of Memphis, and will
enable the students to obtain a far
greater understanding of the law
with ability to use it in practice
than can be had by those who are
restricted to the use of a small libray," 
Mr. Aspero added. "Its use
will be available, to the practicing
Negro lawyers of Memphis, as well
as to students, and also to teachers,
physicians, and Negro members of
other professions.
"Suitable plates will reveal the
names of those who contribute toward 
the purchase of this library
and it should be mentioned that all
gifts to the University, a non-profit
institution, are deductible for insome 
tax purposes." Downtown locations 
in buildings near the court
house are available for the law
school, the dean reported.
Other leading citizens who praised 
the purposes for which the university 
was founded are Rev. J. A.
McDaniel, president of the Urban
League, and Madame G. S. Morgan
Young, president of Corine Beauty
College. Rev. McDaniel hailed the
University's plan to conduct unsegregated 
classes as a "highly progressive 
step by a private college
which should go far toward breaking 
down the barriers of prejudice
in state-owned schools." Rev. McDaniel 
added that it was unlikely
that Negroes would be admitted to
state supported colleges in Tennessee 
for another year, and pointed 
also, that the only such school
which offers law is at Knoxville.
Remarking that she had known
Mrs. Aspero and had followed her
during her entire career, Madame
Young lauded the University for
bringing the magnificent opportunity 
of studying law to the Memphis
Negro, and foresaw the tremendous
opportunities opened to them. Long
a leader in women's business and
professional circles, Madame Young
praised the great courage and unselfishness 
of Mr. and Mrs. Aspero
who are affording this chance to
the Negro at personal sacrifice of
their own time and energy.
Those students who wish to obtain 
the Degree of Bachelor of
Laws and to qualify for the Bar
examination in order to secure a
license should have three years of
college work before entering, Early
registration is advisable. Inquiries
may be addressed to the offices of

FINANCIALLY YOURS
Securities may be classified in
many ways. The Investment Counsellor 
groups stocks according to
dividend yield, growth potential,
stability, dividend record, etc. Group
ing stocks by industries he may select 
the leaders within a given industry. 
He might even analyze individual 
stocks on the basis of downside 
protection or depression — defense. 
The most desirable stock
would be one that has proven earnings 
ability; offering a fair yield,
can offer the investor growth, and
yet give ample safety to the investor. 

The reader with any knowledge
of investments will probably think

first of Mutual Funds. And he is
right. There are, however, two basic
areas of the American economy that
are often overlooked by new investors. 
A graph or statistical chart
would be quite unnecessary to demonstrate 
the financial power of
the banks and insurance companies. 
The undisputed position of these
financial institutions is taken for
granted by all of us.
Professional investors, institutional 
investors (colleges businesses and
social organizations) and other
banks and insurance companies are
the largest investors in the stocks
of banks and insurance companies.
Banks and insurance companies
are usually old Institutions. Their
age usually attests to their capable
management and the essential nature 
of their services. These ser
vices 
do hot have to be pressured
upon the consumer. Unlike other industries 
they are not subject to the
hazards of demand and supply.
What does all of this mean to you,
a potential investor?
First, it means that your dollars
will be at work in institutions that
are essential in war or peace, depression 
or prosperity.
Second, you have the assurance
that your investment is in the
main stream of the American economy 
— if anybody benefits, you
will.
Third, there is the assurance you
need that you are going to receive
a regular liberal dividend. There
are banks and insurance companies
with dividend records that go back
more than a century.
Fourth, no matter how small your
investment, you will be establishing
the footholds on the smooth side
of the, mountain that a majority of
us must climb so that we all can
enjoy the equality that is most respected 
in America — economic
equality.
The borrower who owns stock in
a bank will certainly fare better
than the mart with no equity in the
institution from which he seeks a
loan Bank and insurance company 
stocks are at the nerve center
of American finance. Where is there
a better place for us to start?

Birth Control Project
In India Makes Gains
NEW YORK — Fresh from her
two-year stay in India where she
conducted a pilot study of population 
control, Mrs. Mary Lankford
Taylor, a native of Rochester, N.
Y., in an interview this week, expressed 
her satisfaction of the results, 
achieved there and "predicted
continued success in the work.
Mrs. Taylor, who is a product
of Hampton Institute and New York
School of Social Work, was a field
consultant for he Planned Parenthood 
Federation of America for
seven years before going to India
in May, 1952, at the invitation of
the Government of India as a member 
of the World Health Organization, 
which in cooperation with
the United Nations, undertook the
initial study.
She and her staff of ten persons
worked with 800 Indian couples in
Bangalore, Mysore State, where
they sought to teach the women
the "rhythm" method of birth control. 
This method was used because 
it does not entail any expense. 
Women are taught to adjust 
their sexual relationships to
the days of the month when they
cannot conceive.
The project was conducted in a
small rural area where the women
are illiterate, and beads were used

for them to count their days of
infertility. About five percent of
the women learned to use the method, 
Mrs. Taylor said.
The consultant told some interesting 
stories about India and its
people. She was the first woman
of any Western culture to be seen
by the 16,000 villagers with whom
she lived in Ramamagaran, where
one part of the study was made.
In her Western clothing, the Indian
people of the village did not know
whether she were male or female,
so she had to wear native clothing. 

It was important that her sex
be recognized, she explained, because 
the Indian men object to
their wives discussing sexual matters 
with a male, whether he is a
physician or not. Because of the
poverty of the villagers, and the
lack of transportation, they had
not traveled more than ten miles
from their village homes.
The birth control project was
initiated as a means of controlling
the population of India, which, it
is said, is increasing at a faster rate
than the country is able to produce 
food and other needs. The
project will continue under the supervision 
of the World Health Organization 
for another year.
The consultant met her husband,
James Taylor, an Englishman, in
India and, married him there. He
is visiting this country with her and
they plan to return to India together.

THE AUSTRALIAN
COLOR BAR
Gen, K. M.
Caripappa, Indian High Commissioner 
in Australia, has strongly
criticized the "white Australia" policy. 

Gen. Caripappa has just completed 
a tour over part of Queenland, 
traveling some hundreds of
miles over Darling Downs, and to
the north as far as Mossman.
"I have seen vast expenses, of
fertile country and great wealth
of every description, but I have
also seen your lack of people to
deevlop the country," he said.
"You have a welfare State, yet a
billion people throughout the world
cannot get a square meal a day."
He said, the "white" policy was
driving 440,000,000 people from In
dia 
and Pakistan "away from the
British Commonwealth into the
arms of Communism."
I have been writing the same
thing for many years. And I remember 
telling Gen. Booth, founder 
of the Salvation Army, telling
Australians 60 years ago that if
they did not develop their land,
Asians would take over the job.
Despite the warnings, "White
Australians" persist in their lunatic 
attempts to monopolize nearly
2,000,000 square miles of land for
people of European stock. That
they cannot get enough immigrants
of European stock makes no difference 
to their obsession. That many
of the "new Australians" imported
from Europe are turning out to be
undesirables also makes no difference; 
they still persist in trying
to fill up their empty spaces with
"white" — morons, criminals, undesirables—anything, 
so long as they
are of European stock.
If Australian cities were bombed,
who could defend or develop Australia? 
If war comes, Australian
cities will be bombed and Australia
will be invaded—by Indians and
Pakistanis and others who need a
square mean.
