Character Building And Public Opinion
"This is that which we call Character,—a 
reserved force which acts
directly by pressure, and without
means." Emerson.
It is a pretty generally accepted
fact that there is less crime in a
community with highly developed
concepts of morality than there is
in one with poorly developed one
or with none at all. In short there
is a high positive correlation between 
the wealth of schools, churches 
and other character building organizations 
of a community and the
character spirit of that particular
community. Since that is true, it
follows logically that a community
wishing to improve its moral tone
should strive to acquire and to
strengthen such organizations that
is exactly what Memphis is trying to
do. Such a move if successful, will
in addition aid positively in creating 
the favorable public opinion
which is so urgently needed.
On March 1, the kick-off meeting
to collect the remaining $31,000.00,
already pledged for the Y.M.C.A.
building fund, was held. The princepal 
speaker of the evening was Prof.
Blair T. Hunt. He was introduced by
Prof. L. Sharp.
The topic of the main address was
Memories That Bless And Burn And
Bid Us Dare. He said at the outset
that there are two things at stake,
namely, money and character. Money 
is simply necessary, and it is indispensable. 
The significance of
character is so evident that is is not
necessary to waste words trying to
expound it.
In explaining the crude and modest 
beginning of the local organization 
the speaker linked with it
names like Hon. H. D. Whalum,
Prof. L. E. Brown and Colonel T.
H. Hayes. All of them have passed
on, but still live in our memories.
Again that beginning was very modest, 
but it was nevertheless a beginning. 

Later on a new beginning or a
rebirth of the old took place at LeMoyne 
College, Connected with that
renaissance were names like Dr. J.
E. Walker, Dr. Channing Tobias and
Mr. Eddie Whittington. This second
attempt bore fruit, and initiated the
movement which is still persisting.
The first secretary was a Mr. Robinson, 
who did not stay very long.
The second was a Mr. Thomas. He
was spoken was a Mr. Thomas, He
was spoken of as young and inexperienced 
yet one who did a good
piece of work here. It was during
this time that the house on Mississippi 
Boulevard was rented. The
third secretary was and still is our
own dear Mr. C. R. Lawrence. He
came to us from the Y.M.C.A. in
Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The present building and site were
bought and outright given to us by
the benevolent, and magnanimous
Mr. Abe Scharff. In my own opinion
there could hardly be any stronger
evidence of the high estimate that
Mr. Scharff must place on the worth
of an organization of this kind.
At the time of the big and combined 
Y.M.C.A. drive this proposition 
was made with us. If we
raised $75,000.00, could look for it
to be matched by $75,000.00 in addition. 
Mr. Scharff also offered $50,000.00 
Consider that all of that, as
Prof. Hunt said, was to build "a
great building for a great character
building institution" for our segment 
of the population of Memphis.
Another significant thing brought
out by the speaker was the fact that
the colored people have not reached
the place where they are willing to
give except to the church. He
brought the fact that they must
continue to give to the church, but
they must also learn to contribute
to other worthwhile causes.
Since our rebirth with the Y.M.
C.A. movement most of the doing 
has been done by others. That
is quite an indictment, and at the
same time throws down to all of us
a tremendous challenge." All of the
money is now available. I understand, 
except the $75,000.00 to be
raised by us. We were at the time
$31,000.00 short. Now as if he had
not already done enough Mr.
Scharff came forward again with
sufficient faith in us to underwrite
temporarily the remaining $31,000.00
to that the actual work of construction 
may begin immediately. Since
then, at the first report meeting
March 8, 1950, about an additional
$2,989.90 has been collected. The
remainder of the $31,000.00 or approximately 
$28,010.10 still needs to
be collected. That is the heart rending 
story, and it is indeed a dire
to every one of us. Success means
favorable public opinion. Hence we
must succeed.
The speaker closed his speech

with a touching story of a brave
young girl. The girl's mother died of
she white plague. Naturally the
oldest daughter tried to assume the
mother's responsibility to rest of
the children. Eventually she fell the
victim of the same disease, and was
about to pass on also. She was asked 
about being converted. As I remember 
it she did the conventional
passes to glory. When asked what
she would show her maker, she said
"I shall show the Lord my calloused
and worn out hands." The moral
of that story is clear. Yes, it is truly
a great dare to us all.
The next speaker, Mr. Whittington 
general secretary, was representing 
Mr. Scharff, who was ill
as well as himself. He made a nice
talk covering five main points.
The first consideration indicates
the kind of heart he possesses. One
of the conditions under which he
agreed to come to Memphis was
that there must be a Negro Branch
here. Such seems to indicate the
tremendous worth he places on the
value of such a character building
organization.
His second point was in the nature 
of a prophecy. It was this:
"Someday we will tear down this
building and really complete a new
one. That will happen. Prof. Hunt
and I may not be here, but I hope
that some of the rest of you will be
and will remember."
His third and rather significant
point was that Mr. Scharff may not
be through with this. He urged us
to go ahead and raise the $31,000.00,
and implied that it may possibly
come back to us. That seems like a
dare.
The fourth point seemed to be of
the nature of an exhortation. He
indicated a vision of the completed
physical plant; for he claimed that
when the whole thing is completed,
it will be one of the greatest days
of Memphis and of the nation, and
that the achievement will be heralded 
throughout the land.
Finally he said that he believed
that God was in the movement. He
felt that the project will be completed, 
and will play a great part
in the establishing of God's kingdom 
on earth. Again successful completion 
means favorable public opinion. 
Still again, we must succeed.
Mr. J.T. Chandler, the chairman,
said that we talk a great deal about
first class citizenship, but that he
believes that if we get it we will
have to pay for it. I am in accord
with him on that.
The last but by no means the
least thing on the program was the
rendition of one of or two number
by the Y.M.C.A. quartet under the
leadership of Prof. John Whittaker
of LeMoyne College.
As I sat there and listened to the
speeches and music, I really felt
moved, and said to my self. "The
harvest truly is plentious, but the
laborers are few."

Lend Horne's
Contract At
MGM Terminated
Local
Lena Horne fans are disturbed over
the news that the star's contract
has not been renewed by MGM, the
film producers. Miss Horne's agreement 
has a short time to run, after
which the star will go to Europe. It
is believed that she will make pictures 
abroad under a new management 
and direction. The new program 
will possibly give the glamourous 
star wider latitude in picture
stories than Hollywood allowed
While Miss Horne had no objectionable 
parts in the films, she was not
given the full parts to which she
was entitled as a first water star,
crities declare.
Mrs. Horne herself had expressed
dissatisfaction, it is said, with the
way in which some of her film work
had been mangled in southern cities
The contract termination was by
mutual agreement.

Texan Offers Joe
Louis Top Purse
To Fight Charles
Joe
Louis, completing a nationwide
boxing tour in Texas this week,
Tuesday was offered a purse "equal
to any in the world" to fight Ezzard 
Charles for the heavyweight
title in El Paso or Juarez, Mex.
Dan Daniels, an El Paso sportsman 
and hotel owner, made the offer 
to Manager Marshall Miles, but
the Brown Bomber's pilot was
amiably noncommital.
Daniels said:
"I wish to announce that my
associates and I are willing to offer 
Joe Louis a purse equal to any
in the world for him to fight Ezzard 
Charles for the heavyweight
title in El Paso or neighboring
Juarez."
Louis said he was interested in
the offer, but said he had no official 
statement to make. Daniels
said later he was prepared to
guarantee the gate if the fight
could be held Labor Day.

New Orleans Jury Labels
Detention Home "Unfit"
A
retiring Orleans parish grand jury
has labeled the House of Detention
and several precinct stations here
as unfit for human occupancy. Relative 
to the House of Detention, the
jurors said it was an "absolute disregard 
of human health, decency
and even life".
Men in the detention home said
the jurors, were poorly fed, and
were served meals in battered rusty
pans, used for plates, and rusty
forks which many provided themselves. 
The blankets at one of the
precinct stations, were washed once
a year, they said.
Going further into conditions in
the home, the jurors said:
"Filthy best describes the few toilets, 
wash-basins and showers that
are at all usable.
"This also applies to the bedding
and bed covers."
The report stated that there were
no eating utensils "except rusty,
badly crushed pans and old cannedgoods 
containers."
The jurors said that a better food
distribution method was needed. It
was noticeable they said, that some
prisoners got more than others. Because 
of this condition, it was advised 
that immediate steps be taken 
to improve this "irresponsible
supervision and poor management"
on the part of the City Hall authorities. 

During the investigation of the
precinet stations, it was disclosed
that a man was found at the Second 
who had been held there for
seven days, pending investigation.
Seventy-two hours is the limit in
such cases.

Three Indians Invade
Durban Public Library
three Indians took it upon themselves 
to see how far they could go
in bucking a local by-law restricting 
use of public library facilities
to Europeans here last week. The
trio entered the Durban public
library, looked at reference books,
examined the lending library and
read newspapers in the public
reading room.
They left only after policemen
had taken their names. The presence 
of the Indians, while definitely 
a challenge to the biased law
which was enacted 13 years ago,
created no outbreak of racial feeling. 

It is believed the trio, who remained 
unidentified, was attempting 
to put into practice the contention 
of the South African Indian
congress that the library should be
opened to persons of all races.

Senators Told Foreign Labor
Treated Better Than Citizens
Foreign labor imported into this
country as agricultural workers receive 
better treatment from the
Federal Government than United
States citizens, the Senate Finance
Committee was told last Wednesday.
Pleading for coverage of farm
wage earners by social security.
Clarence Mitchell, labor secretary
for the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
said 21 per cent of the 7,000,000 domestic 
and agricultural workers, now
excluded from social security, are
colored.
Asked by Senator Walter F. George
of Georgia, commence chairman,
whether it could be possible to work
out a practical scheme for including
agricultural workers in the social security 
program, Mitchell said the
NAACP had endorsed a stamp plan
proposed by the Old Age and Survivors 
Insurance Bureau of the Social 
Security Administration.
Under this plan, methods of reporting 
and crediting benefits for
agricultural workers would be simplified 
so that the bookkeeping and
other details would be performed by
the Government.
Mitchell pointed out that Congress
has failed to include agricultural
workers in most of the broad social
legislation passed in recent years. In
contrast, he pointed out that by
agreement with Mexico and Great
Britain, the United States undertakes 
to see that Mexicans and West
Indians brought into this country as
agricultural workers are not exploited. 

The inclusion of agricultural workers 
in the social security program
would be the first of many badly
needed steps toward giving greater
protection to domestic labor, Mitchell
said.
Wages of domestic workers, even
during the war period, ranged from
$513 to $737. Mitchell said. He added
that it would be impossible for
domestic workers to save anything
for their old age under such a wage
scale.
Senator Eugene D. Millikin, Republican, 
of Colorado, expressed
surprise at the low-wage rate paid
domestic workers. Mitchell said the
figures he used had been compiled
by the Old Age and Survivors Insurance 
Bureau.

Mr. Bebop Freed In Suit
Brought By Unwed Mother
A local 
Reading unwed mother who
charged that Dizzy Gillespie had
behopped his way into her heart
and was the father of her child last
week lost her suit against the fame
band leader.
Miss Helen Donaldson 21, told a
story of writing a note to the bebop 
king, meeting him at a local
hotel, and of relations with him.
Gillespi, whose real name is John
B. Gillespie, denied all her charges
and declared the he had never met

the girl. A Common Pleas court
jury returned a verdict of not guilty 
and set him free. He also was
not asked to pay court costs.
Supporting Gillespie in his case
was his wife, Lorraine, to whom the
31-year-old trumpeter has been
married 13 years. They have no
children.
During the court hearing Dizzy
volunteered to submit to a blood
test, but Miss Donaldson refused.
She claimed that the date of the
tryst was June 12, 1948. The baby
was born March 16, 1949. During
all the time since the June date she
never was in touch with the bandleader, 
testimony revealed.

No other reasons were given for

Judge Waring Condemns D.C. Conditions
Racial conditions in Washington
are disgraceful. Federal District
Judge J. Wattes Waring, of Charleston, 
South Carolina, declared here
last Friday night.
To have "disgraceful practices" to
go on here in the Nation's capital
that "rings with the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution of
the United States, the Bill of Rights
and all the preachments of liberty,
equality, freedom of man and freedom 
of speech," he said "is even
worse than it is down in my part
of the country".
Judge Waring was here with his
wife to attend the annual dinner of
the American Council on Human
Rights, held in the Congressional
Room of the Willard Hotel and to
receive citations for their "distinguished 
service in the cause of human 
rights."
Addressing the audience of about
250, Judge Waring said the situation
is worse in his part of the country,
but at least it may be said for a
great many of the white supremacists 
that they "don't know any better." 

In Washington, he continued,
"that is not the case. Here we
stand within a stone's throw of the
Capitol where the Congressmen and
Senators meet and talk, and talk,
and talk. Not far away is the White
House where the Cabinet meets
with the President and talks."
He added that the people are getting 
tired of this. "I hear a rumble
all through the land," he said.
"There is a rumble through the
North, the Mid-West, and the Far
West, and there is even some piping
and squeaking in the Deep South.
White South Carolinians have
been fuming against Judge Waring
ever since he handed down a decision 
in 1948 ordering the "white
Democratic primaries" in South
Carolina opened to colored voters
and declaring that it was time for
the State to get in step with the
rest of the Union.
After Mrs. Waring approved of
interracial marriages in a television
program. "Meet the Press," over
the National Broadcasting television
network, the South Carolina legislature 
passed a resolution to give
Judge and Mrs. Waring one-way
tickets out of the State.
More recently, the State legislature 
approved an appropriation of
$10,000 to bring impeachment proceedings 
against, Judge Waring, but
members of the South Carolina Congressional 
delegation here have
have shown no disposition to file
impeachment charges against him.
In his speech here, Judge Waring
revealed that he was unafraid of
the demonstrations against him.
"To me, the fact that we are having 
outrages, Klan parades and cross
burnings is one of the best signs
that the people are aroused and
that the oppressors are getting worried," 
he declared.
"It is simply the infection breaking 
out and coming to the surface,"
he said.
When he reads in the newspapers
or gets a long distance telephone
call telling him that a cross marked 
"KKK" is burned in front of
his home in Charleston, he said, "it
does not upset me. I think it is
fine. I want the people of this
country to know that because Mrs.
Waring and I have had the decency
to say that we do not believe in dual 
citizenship and we do not believe
that one crowd of people has any
right to enslave, exploit and oppress
another group of people — when
resentment comes out in the open

it means those oppressors are getting 
scared.
"When they have to go around
with masks on their faces and white
sheets wrapped around their shoulders 
and with a lot of mumble-jumbo 
and KKK written on the bottom
of letters, thinking they can frighten 
anybody with that silly, stupid,
childish, insane course of action—
when that happens it is a good thing
because it means that the eyes of
the nation see what kind of people
these so-called master-race, white
supremacists are."
Judge Waring warned his audience 
against being deluded by the
doctrine of gradualism, "leave-usalone" 
and "we are curing-ourselves." 
He said gradualism might
accomplish something in 500 or 600
years, "but unfortunately none of
you will be here then and we want
to see something done in the meantime."

these so-called master-race, white
supremacists are."
Judge Waring warned his audience 
against being deluded by the
doctrine of gradualism, "leave-usalone" 
and "we are curing-ourselves." 
He said gradualism might
accomplish something in 500 or 600
years, "but unfortunately none of
you will be here then and we want
to see something done in the meantime." 


NOT THE CASE
Racial conditions in Washington
are disgraceful. Federal District
Judge J. Wattes Waring, of Charleston, 
South Carolina, declared here
last Friday night.
To have "disgraceful practices" to
go on here in the Nation's capital
that "rings with the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution of
the United States, the Bill of Rights
and all the preachments of liberty,
equality, freedom of man and freedom 
of speech," he said "is even
worse than it is down in my part
of the country".
Judge Waring was here with his
wife to attend the annual dinner of
the American Council on Human
Rights, held in the Congressional
Room of the Willard Hotel and to
receive citations for their "distinguished 
service in the cause of human 
rights."
Addressing the audience of about
250, Judge Waring said the situation
is worse in his part of the country,
but at least it may be said for a
great many of the white supremacists 
that they "don't know any better." 

In Washington, he continued,
"that is not the case. Here we
stand within a stone's throw of the
Capitol where the Congressmen and
Senators meet and talk, and talk,
and talk. Not far away is the White
House where the Cabinet meets
with the President and talks."
He added that the people are getting 
tired of this. "I hear a rumble
all through the land," he said.
"There is a rumble through the
North, the Mid-West, and the Far
West, and there is even some piping
and squeaking in the Deep South.
White South Carolinians have
been fuming against Judge Waring
ever since he handed down a decision 
in 1948 ordering the "white
Democratic primaries" in South
Carolina opened to colored voters
and declaring that it was time for
the State to get in step with the
rest of the Union.
After Mrs. Waring approved of
interracial marriages in a television
program. "Meet the Press," over
the National Broadcasting television
network, the South Carolina legislature 
passed a resolution to give
Judge and Mrs. Waring one-way
tickets out of the State.
More recently, the State legislature 
approved an appropriation of
$10,000 to bring impeachment proceedings 
against, Judge Waring, but
members of the South Carolina Congressional 
delegation here have
have shown no disposition to file
impeachment charges against him.
In his speech here, Judge Waring
revealed that he was unafraid of
the demonstrations against him.
"To me, the fact that we are having 
outrages, Klan parades and cross
burnings is one of the best signs
that the people are aroused and
that the oppressors are getting worried," 
he declared.
"It is simply the infection breaking 
out and coming to the surface,"
he said.
When he reads in the newspapers
or gets a long distance telephone
call telling him that a cross marked 
"KKK" is burned in front of
his home in Charleston, he said, "it
does not upset me. I think it is
fine. I want the people of this
country to know that because Mrs.
Waring and I have had the decency
to say that we do not believe in dual 
citizenship and we do not believe
that one crowd of people has any
right to enslave, exploit and oppress
another group of people — when
resentment comes out in the open

it means those oppressors are getting 
scared.
"When they have to go around
with masks on their faces and white
sheets wrapped around their shoulders 
and with a lot of mumble-jumbo 
and KKK written on the bottom
of letters, thinking they can frighten 
anybody with that silly, stupid,
childish, insane course of action—
when that happens it is a good thing
because it means that the eyes of
the nation see what kind of people
these so-called master-race, white
supremacists are."
Judge Waring warned his audience 
against being deluded by the
doctrine of gradualism, "leave-usalone" 
and "we are curing-ourselves." 
He said gradualism might
accomplish something in 500 or 600
years, "but unfortunately none of

Carolina Solons Apparently
Regard Charges Too Flimsy
Members of the South Carolina
Congressional delegation apparently
regard the charges against Federal
Judge J. Waties Waring of Charleston, 
South Carolina, as too flimsy
to institute impeachment proceedings 
against him.
Representative James P. Richards, 
Democrat, of South Carolina
last Tuesday said substantial evidence 
against the jurist must be
received before any steps are taken
by the South Carolina delegation to
bring impeachments proceedings
against the judge.
Richards is chairman of the Congressional 
delegation. He said South
Carolina members of the House had
decided to ask persons who want impreachment 
proceedings brought two
questions: (1) Where are the necessary 
funds coming from, and (2)
whether legal proof for impeachment 
is forthcoming.
Representative James B. Hare,
Democrat, of South Carolina, told
reporters that South Carolina Congressmen 
have agreed that if a resolution 
is introduced, it will be offered 
by Representative L. Mendel
Rivers. Democrat, of South Carolina 
in whose district. Judge Waring
resides and who introduced the impreachment 
resolution in the House
two years ago.
Richards said last Tuesday that
"it is the consensus of the delegation 
that we should not proceed until 
strong evidence against Waring
is presented by the petitioners."
Petitioners being circulated in
South Carolina asking removal of
Judge Waring bear more than 20,000
names, chiefly from the southern
part of the State, South Carolinians
here state. They said more signatures 
are expected to similar petitions 
in the north and west.
But Richards commented, "Personally 
I don't think any steps
should be taken until we are sure

they are founded on a sound legal
basis. I do not think anybody
should go off half-cocked."
Rivers, who is away from Washington 
on a government hospital investigation, 
made no comment on
the matter before he left but indicated 
that he would not move without 
some legal evidence upon which
to base impeachment proceedings.
Representatives Hare, John L.
McMillan and Hugo S. Sims, Jr.,
the latter two also Democrats, of
South Carolina, said they were ready
to give serious consideration to the
matter.
According to dispatches from So,
Carolina the impeachment proceedings 
would be based on the ground
that Judge Waring and his wife, a
northern born woman, have advocated 
"a Negro revolution against
white supremacy." Such a charge
as grounds for impeachment is regarded 
here as frivolous.
