Weathers Circulation Promotion The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper—non sectarian and non-partisan, printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things it believes to the interest of its readers and opposing those things against the interest of its readers. Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Newspapers And Economic Well Being If anyone still wonders just how valuable the newspaper as an advertising medium for retailers — in this era when other media are competing vigorously for business — he would do well, to study a survey made by the Bureau of Business Research of Michigan State University. The survey deals with the effect on retail sales of lost December's newspaper strike in Detroit. It shows that a gain in over-all soles in the Detroit metropolitan area during the strike period was due to buying in the suburbs. Sales in the downtown area actually declined by $35 million. Editor and Publisher says editorially: "The Michigan State analysis...... is one of the greatest testimonials for newspaper advertising that has ever been written..... It odds to the growing volume of data showing that wherever a community is deprived of its newspapers all business suffers. "..... when general business conditions are good customers do not just naturally gravitate to a store. They have to be attracted by advertising, particularly newspaper advertising. People react to a sales message in newspapers. They do not read if the sales message and or the newspaper is missing. Newspapers are essential to the economic well being of the business community." That goes for the smaller papers as well as the larger ones and for the villages as well as the metropolitan centers of population. Truly A Man Of Destiny (To Run Or Not To Run) As the days go by the question becomes more intensive as to whether the health of President Eisenhower will allow him to face the ordeals of campaigning and ultimately to again fill his place as the nation's chief executive. It must be acknowledged by all alike, regardless of party affiliation that he is truly a man of destiny; his own solar-system and the one popular authority in history who made a solo flight into the troubled stratosphere beclouding a restless world. The misfortune of a second hospitalization in the span of the last few months, is certainly making its inroads into the issues that will be fought out-in this campaign for President of the United States. Some say that the President himself has made it on issue and apparently the Democrats would rather fight out a campaign from a health level than any other approach of national and international issues. While fate might appear unkind to him and the party in which he is apparently the only Ike, time is responsible for the record of there being no indispensable men. It must be said irrespective to party-or faith that he will from this level, if he never serves another day, be numbered, among the most powerful men of the world and while his peers might be the two Roosevelts and Lincoln, he has not been surpassed in the annals of honor and statesmanship. To run or not to run, will be in the decision of the great man whose it will be to finally ponder, it is felt by this nation, and all over the world that he will not play politics with his health' and the whole of civilization will listen with intense interest and absolute confidence in what he has to way. Few times has history ever presented an-era and a man with on occasion so pertinent to mankind and his survival in the universe. Helping The Mills Grind Slowly (From The Christian Science Monitor) Temperate spokesmen on behalf of the South plead for time —time for its people to accommodate their thinking to the new order of things and adjust their customs and institutions to the greatest single social change in 90 years. Just the regular operation of the American judicial system, plus the especial discretion given local federal courts, promises to provide some of that time. A federal district court in Montgomery, Alabama, has ruled that segregation on that city's buses violates the Constitution. (Lest anyone think "this is where we came in a month ago," let us explain: The Supreme Court on the Columbia, South Carolina, bus case did not rule on segregation per se, but simply upheld o lower court on a legal technicality of local application.) The court in Alabama has as yet issued no court order. If and when one comes, the court makes dear, it would not of itself apply outside Montgomery. The court is allowing time for filing appeal. When such appeal reaches a court of appeals and the Supreme Court, the question may be settled whether or not separate seating on local public conveyances is allowable under the Fourteenth Amendment. And that could take a year or two. All of this operates to give the South another pause to catch its breath. But what of the Negro? If oil the pressures came from one side, that pause could be prolonged indefinitely, and we would have only a repressing, not a resolving, of the race problem. But they do not. There are legal pressures. The NAACP has suits pending in everyone of the 14 states which have not yet wiped compulsory segregation from their statute books. And there ore economic pressures. The Montgomery bus boycott has been astoundingly effective. Now another one has started in Tallahassee, Floridaboth thus far conducted by the Negroes with notable restraint It behooves the NAACP in its legal moves to match the statemanship shown by the federal judiciary. The problem is not insoluble; it is very difficult. Editor's Note: It was a three-judge panel which ruled transit segregation unconstitutional in Montgomery. An appeal from that decision would go directly to the United States Supreme Court. The decision is limited to Montgomery only in respect to the local but segregation law. However in striking down the state segregation carrier law the court's decision would seem lo be state wide in that particular area. In Sight Of Victory (From The Birmingham World) Reports indicate that less than $20,000 in subscriptions is needed to meet the $300,000 requirement for organizing in Birmingham a new Negro-directed Federal Savings and loan Association. On April 3, the Federal Home loon Bank Board in Washington, D. C. approved the application for permission to organize this association. In ten community meeting messages of the importance of this new venture have been carried to the people. They seemed to have understood, responded, and subscribed. This is a tribute to the economic awakening going on in this city. It is evidence that the remaining subscriptions needed will be forthcoming. Negro savers have money piled up where it cannot function to its fullest for the benefit of the group. Such savings could be put to work where they can create functional capital, investment power, borrowing funds which will help to elevate the group. Money subscribed to the new association or placed up its custody will help to create jobs, build better homes, improve the community life and aid in a program of economic self-defense. Capitalized money and savings in the proposed Federal Savings and loan Association will be backed up by the federal insurance the same as other similar organizations. The association will be run by competent business leaders. It offers to the group a long needed lending institution that will be financed primarily and managed solely by member of the group. We are in sight of victory.

"There is no race relations expert on the staff of the regional urban renewal office, nor is there a race relations specialist on the staff of the Housing and Home Finance Agency administrator who can advise him on relocation problems." The Federal Housing Administration, which provides mortgage insurance for private dwellings, also follows discriminatory policies, the ACLU charged. Since 1946 only 2 percent of the new homes insured by FHA have been available to minoritiee, "and the vast number of these are all-Negro developments in the South." While FHA stales that occupancy patterns are not their business and tries to encourage private builders to provide more housing for minority groups, the ACLU said, "we submit that the FHA's mortgage insurance program is the dispensing of government benefits If the government's policy is to eliminate discrimination in housing, such benefits should not be given unless a non-discrimination pledge is obtained. By sanctioning mortgage aid to builders who follow discriminatory housing practices, FHA is fostering the creation of allwhite . The ACLU letter stated that the Public Housing Administration's low-rent housing program has provided 40 per cent of the new housing for minority families, but 85 per cent of these units are in segregated developments. "Our courts have held that segregatd public housing is unconstitutional. Despite the laws in certain states that bar discriminatory public housing and statements by federal officials that integrated policies will be observed. PHA still refuse to condition its funds on a non-segregation policy." Also under attack was the lack of vigorous support for the Race Relations Service Morale has been weakned by the dismissal of Dr. Frank Home, its former director, and the re-assignment of raw relations experts in the Urban Renewal Administration as relocation specialists, the ACUJ said.

Ike Ban to the operating surgeon, Maj. Gen. Leonard Heaton, and remarked with a grin: "This fellow answered that for you. Heaton told newsmen several hours after the operation 10 days ago that there was no medical reason why the President should not adhere to his decision to seek reelection. Snyder, pressed for his own answer to the second-term question said Tuesday: "I wouldn't attempt to answer that, because I haven't discussed it with him." But he said that the President "looks pretty sharp these days" and added cryptically: "He's got that old glint of derring-do in his eyes." Snyder was questioned by newsmen who encountered him in a Walter Reed corridor. It was their first chance to question the President's doctor since the day of the operation. The encounter occurred shortly after Presidential news secretary James C. Hagerty issued a statement on behalf of Mr. Elsenhower's doctors, refusing to enter into public debate with medical men who contend the president may suffer a recurrence of his intestinal ailment. Hagerty said the President was aware of the controversy over the possibility of recurrence, but would make no comment on it. Though none of the President's doctors would make a formal reply to medical men who insist that there is a serious possibility of recurrence, Dr. Isidor Ravdin, a member of the four-man operating team, declared bluntly: "I have never seen recurrence in any patient the age of the Preisdent." Mr. Eisenhower is 65. Committee Named To Probe NAACP Members of a special legislativegovernors committee which will investigate alleged activities of the NAACP at South Carolina State college were named here last week by Gov.

Almost half of the MDAP equipment had to be rebuilt and reconditioned in the Enginees Maintenance Shop. THE QUICKSILVER POOL WHEN Morgan Channing and her blond companion came into the supper room. Lora's interest quickened as if she were attending a play. Wade, who was beside her, could not escape these two now, and she wondered what the unpredictable Morgan would do it she came face to face with him. The encounter followed almost at once. Wade had not seen the two step into line behind him. Reaching toward a bowl of potato salad, he Jostled Murray Norwood's arm and turned at once in apology. The flare of color to his face when he saw Morgan so near at hand was more than Lora had expected. She watched him, startled now, for the first time putting some belief in the things his mother had said. Morgan spoke before Wade had completed his apology to Mr. Norwood. Her manner was easy as that of a lady who meets an old friend whom she has seen no longer ago than yesterday, but Lora found the look she turned upon Wade less casual. "Good-evening. Wade. May I present Mr. Norwood? I think you and he may have a number of interests in common." Wade set down his plate and took the other man's hand. He looked m if he wanted to ignore Morgan, but could not do so without being conspicuous. He spoke to her restrainedly, managing an exchange of pleasantries with Norwood before they started on about the table. Morgan had veiled the quick Intensity of her first look and now seemed a little contemptuous and amused. This belied Mother Tyler's belief that she still wanted Wade, Lora thought. Surely a woman could not love a man and look at him so scornfully. Atleast she—Lora—could not. In the dark early hours of the morning, when they drove home through falling mow, they had little to say. Obviously Wade was lost in memories of his own and wanted no breaking through on her part. Lora went up to her room and lighted a candle. There, where she had loft it in the middle of the Boor the garnet-hued gown burned like a dark flame She picked it up and hung it away in the wardrobe sadly. The green dross she carried back to Virginia's room to replace in the wardrobe there. In the light from the candle she carried she saw with a start that Wade lay across the bed. When he heard her he sat up. "I must ask you nut to come in here again." he said, and his tone was colder than she had ever heard it. She did not speak to him at all. She drew her robe close about her and hung the green gown away so quickly as she mull She did not look at him again as slip turned and went out of the room, her shadow swaying up the wall as she moved. There was nothing in her now of pity or gentleness. She felt only a despairing impatience for the man on the lied, and she did not in the least care whether or not he knew it. In spite of her few hours of sleep, Lora awoke while it was still dark on Christmas morning. For a few moments she lay quiet and warm beneath her quilts. feeling the weight of unhappiness pressing her down. She could not recall in the fog of sleep why she must feel unhappy, but knew only that despair lay waiting to engulf her as soon as she could remember. Then recollection of the party and the ending last night swept bark. But now she put the memory aside. Today was Jemmy's day and neither she nor Wade mattered. Lora dressed and gathered up her packages and stole softly downstairs through the still, cold house. It wouldn't hurt to start a fire, even though it was early. She set her parcels down and knelt before the hearth in the parlor The kindling responded with a lively snapping and when she was sure the blaze had caught fire she returned to distributing packages beneath the tree. Before long she heard a creaking on the stairs and a moment later the door opened a crack and Jemmy looked in uncertainly. "Come in by the fire and get warm," said Lora cheerfully, as though he had never stormed at her last night because of the green dress. Relieved, he sidled into the room in his nightshirt, his own arms filled with tissue-wrapped packages. Over one arm hung a long red and white striped stocking. He distributed the parcels beneath the tree and then turned to her doubtfully. "I didn't know if I was supposed to hang up a stocking. Of course, I don't believe in all that chimney stuff, but I thought—" "Of course you re supposed to," Lora said. "But it should have been hung up on Christmas eve. Don't make such a mistake next year. Now you'll have to scoot back to, bed while somebody fills it. It's much ton early to be up for good anyway." When she heard the stairs create again she busied herself stuffin his stocking. The little paperweight with its snow scene went into the toe and on top of it went an orange with a green ribbon tied about its plump sides. Next a loose handful of mils and a small packet of sweets, a little calendar with a bright angel pictured on it, and right at the top, hooked over the stocking edge, the wishbone she had saved, graeed with a big red bow. By the time the was done the unhappy weight which she had awakened had lifted a little and she hummed to herself as lot stood back to examine the effect of her work. The packages looked gay and inviting, and by spreading them out to the best effect she had accomplished an illusion of plenty.

He distributed the parcels beneath the tree and then turned to her doubtfully. "I didn't know if I was supposed to hang up a stocking. Of course, I don't believe in all that chimney stuff, but I thought—" "Of course you re supposed to," Lora said. "But it should have been hung up on Christmas eve. Don't make such a mistake next year. Now you'll have to scoot back to, bed while somebody fills it. It's much ton early to be up for good anyway." When she heard the stairs create again she busied herself stuffin his stocking. The little paperweight with its snow scene went into the toe and on top of it went an orange with a green ribbon tied about its plump sides. Next a loose handful of mils and a small packet of sweets, a little calendar with a bright angel pictured on it, and right at the top, hooked over the stocking edge, the wishbone she had saved, graeed with a big red bow. By the time the was done the unhappy weight which she had awakened had lifted a little and she hummed to herself as lot stood back to examine the effect of her work. The packages looked gay and inviting, and by spreading them out to the best effect she had accomplished an illusion of plenty. MEALTIME MELODIES!

Negroes Insist Upon Equal Share Of Recreation Negro leaders last week demanded the right to share public recreational facilities with white poisons in Texarkana. "Inasmuch as Negro citizens of Texarkana pay their taxes," said John J. Jones of the Texarkana NAACP, J. L. Montgomery and W. L. Gibson, "there is no reason why public facilities should not be open to them." Montgomery said that the city has provided no recreational facilities for Negro youth. "We are not represented by this council," he said, "but we are affected by its decisions." Asked by City Attorney William V. Brown Jr. whether Negroes would agree to a bond issue for the erection of separate facilities, Montgomery sharply retorted that they would not. "Why," he said, "should we accept the imposition or an addition financial burden when all you have to do is open the doors of the present facilities to us? 10,000 Delegates To Attend Baptist Meet A total of 10,000 delegates are expected to attend the 76th annual session of the National Baptist Convention U.
