Minister Is Hero
In Air Raid Weddinq

Love laughed at alarm sirens and
exploding bombs when Robert Dun
das of Edinburgh. Scotland, and Miss
Jean Johnstone of Berwick were wed
In an East Scotland church. The
real hero of the wedding was the
officiating minister, the Rev. D. Rus
sell. While the sirens walled and
the bombs thudded in the distance
and exploded he amused the party
with funny stories. That was in the
hotel. at the wedding breakfast, fol-
lowing the ceremony. The hotel
hostess invited the wedding party to
take refuge in the cellar, but the in
vitation was declined by all.

Protest
''White''
- u.
Jim Crow
Says Only
Negroes Join
Mail Assn

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(ANP)E
The strange spectacle Of Southern
congressman protesting against dis
elimination against white men was
revealed in O. hearing at the We'd
nesday session of the house civil
service committee when Congress
man RamSpeck declared that the
1877 white mail carriers Of his dis
trict in Atlanta were not permitted
to join the National Letter Carriers
association, thereby not entitled to
benefits asked for by members of
The pest office service.
Also appearing before the conn
mittee was c.. N. T. Gray of the
National Alliance of Postal Enl-
ployes who made a strong appeal
for the workers in the mail service.
Mr.. Gray said in part:
Il have heard Chairman Ram
speck On several occasions pay de-
served tribute to the workings Of
civil service as exemplified in the
POST office department. After 30
years in the postal service, l feel
that it is not only civil service at
its best, but it comes nearer than
anything else l know of, to being
democracy at It's best. At that it
has not reached the millennium for
the members of my organization"
All members of the postal al
lance are Negroes and Mr.. Gray
was seeking to have adjustments
made which would benefit them as
well as white workers.
1T must be admitted that it is
hard to put ones finger on politi-
cal OF religious discrimination, and
it would be equally hard to finger
racial discrimination. so 1 am at
a loss to understand why racial
discrimination should be denied
benefit OF mention in the rules un-
der which the civil service operates.
There is no cause for racial
complaint as such. in the postal
service. There is no need for racial
discrimination in that service. This
committee and others have heard
complaints about unfair ratings,
most OF which stem from prejudic-
ed officials in immediate super
visory charge OF the employees.
In appealing for the establish
ment of an appeal board to deter
mine these cases, Mr.. Gray point
ed out how individual cases may
arise to- cause unjust treatment OF
Negroes lin certain sections
Personally" said Mr.. Gray, Il
mad rather take chances for my
constituents with the higher Of
ficials in the post office depart
ment in whom tine milk of human
kindness is still present, than with
a referee of unlimited powers or a
board or court comparable to one
of our highest courts in dignity and
distance from The worker farthest
down."

RAID EDUCATORS HOME

The viciousness of this Law can best be attested
when it is recalled how several years ago officers
raided the residence of high school principal while
some members of his family were entertaining. All
occupants of the house were placed under arrest
Strangely enough the measure with but few eX-
ceptions is enforced only against Negroes and the
lesser privileged folk of the community.
And it is only in the cases of these two groups
that the pernicous so-called "72-hour' law becomes
effective. Under this measure also common to most
Southern cities citizens can be arrested and held in
jail for three whole days without charges being pre-
ferred without a chance to secure legal aid or
10 contact relatives
These are only two of the many measures which
the writer believes the United States Supreme Court
would upset. if its present members were but given
a chance. They unquestonably form a conflict with
those civil liberties provisions which the very
baSiS of our Constitution.
No better opportunity than has been af-
orded the great masses of people TO attack through
the courts these pernicious laws. That opportunity
