Declines Ndzi
Invitation

BALTIMORE, June 2 Q.N.S0
The Johns Hopkins University to.
day declined to participate in the
bi-centenary celebration of the Uni.
versity of Gottingen this summer,
at Gottingen, Germany. President
Isaiah Bowman wrote the univer.
sity's officials in part:
"The change in plans at the
last moment Of the Heidelberg
celebration Of 1886, imposed by
the agencies Of the government,
made foreign participation ap-
pear to approve, IL not to cele-
brate, acts and practices which
democratic countries universally
condemn.
In consequence, we must on
this occasion limit ourselves to
an expression Of good will for
the German scholarship of ira
ditiOn and for those German
scholars Of today, who, under
extreme difficulties, still main
tain the ideal Of free inquiry"
Similar action was taken by
Yale, Princeton and Columbia uni.

Columbus NAACP met in very in
reresting session last Sunday morn

Blue Triangle YWCA. The discus

lead by Miss Evelyn Lewis and Judge
Joseph L. Heffernan. Miss Lewis
gave brief history of the local
branch and very clearly outlined the
problems now facing it.
Judge Heffernan, who has been
associated with the NAACP for over
fifteen years, stressed economic Sc
curity as means of solving many
of our problems. In the comments
which followed, those given by Bishop
r. e. Jones aroused much enthusi--

of the most conducive factorcs to
many of our problems, is the con-

Columbus Negroes accept their in

situation very tersely:
The SPIRIT OF SHARING
Reports 60 the luncheon

been encouraging, but ii must
be recognized that the critical
stage Of this endeavor remains

resents the minimum needs OF
the Community Chest agencies
I'm view Of the increased de-
mands made upon their hu-
manitarian and character

sary to obtain not only larger
pledges from all those capable
of giving more than last year,
but also participation of larg
err number of persons I'm this
enterprise of sharing.
To realize this quota within
the time limit of the campaign
.viIl mean much not only for
the agencies but for the com
munity as whole. Ii will
demonstrate that the spirit OF
giving to aid the less fortunate
Is strong among people in all
wallis Of life, that the JOY oi
sharing is being increasingly
realized. The goal can and
must be reached, but this
achievement will be made cas-

The newspaper business is growing
more and more impersonal, it is true,
but after all, the newspaper itself
must have personality. II the
newspaper is to be colorless, then
it lacks personality; if it is to be
live, wide-awake, then it has per-
sonality The hope Of this writer
is that our newspapers will take on
less and less Of the personal char
acteristics Of the individual editors
and owners, but that they will be
given a personality devoted to the

Since last writing this column, the

be done was one Of national proper
tions- promoting the Unemployment
3ensus through all the states where
colored people reside.
1t was interesting to sit IN the
Department of Commerce Building
and command the machinery Of the
United States Government in this
huge undertaking. Within four
days Is, 900 letters were in the mails,
all signed by this writer |, who
hought | was accustomed to writing
i good many letters, suddenly turn
ed out more letters than | had ever
seen at any one time. Letters went
to people whose names | did not
know, who ] had never seen and
probably would never see.
When Uncle sam wants 70 %
something, he is certainly able. All
that is necessary is to get him to
the point where he is ready and
willing. He will pay for what he
wants, and he wants what he pays
for. When he sends his men out on
trip, they go right. They have
the whole Government behind them;
and those of the public with whom
Government officials come in con-
tact, respect the Government officials
because it is the Government that IS
behind them.
