ARKANSAS DOCTOR WHO
LED FIGHT FOR BALLOT
SEEKS Citizenship

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 2
(ANP)-A Negro physician, DR.. j.
M. Robinson, who was convicted of
manslaughter in 1911, and SEN
fenced to seven years in penitenti-
ary, offered to resign as president
of the Arkansas Negro Democratic
association and to end all his po-
litical activities if the governor re-
stores his citizenship.
The secretary of state, C. G.
Hall, recently charged that DR..
Robinson, who for a number of
years has led movement to allow
Arkansas Negroes to vote in the
primaries, is not himself quail
fled voter because he was convicted
of manslaughter, served two years
in the state penitentiary and has
never had his citizenship rights re-
stored.
Tom Cogbill of the penitentiary
reported that records indicate that
DR.. Robinson was paroled but that
no pardon had been granted.
1t. Gov. j. L. Shavor, acting for
Gov. Adkins who left the state re-
Gently to confer with federal Of

to Adkins secretary said:
''It seems to me that this man
(Robinson), having been convicted
in 1911 and released in 1913, and
if his record is okay since that
date, certainly should have his citi-
zenship restored. Please order the
necessary investigation and if this
investigation proves satisfactory,
and | am not acting governor at
the time the report is received,
will certainly recommend to Gov.
Adkins that he issue a pardon re-

FRATERNAL CHURCHES
EYE EQUALITY MOVE
AT PEACE CONFERENCE

WA S NGTON, Oct. g.
(ANP)-The executive board of
the Fraternal Council of Negro
Churches will have before it pro-
posed resolution calling upon par
ticipants in any peace conference
to support the principle of equality
of races and freedom of religion.
The board meets in Louisville this
week, DR.. William H. Jarnagin, di-
rector of the Washington bureau,
said in announcing the proposal.
The Fraternal Council should do
everything within it's power, DR..
Jernagin said, "to bring the neces-
sary pressure to bear" to present a
"bold and uncompromising state
ment on these issues to the peace
conference" He said too that the
board should appoint special COM
mittee to draft such a statement,
and that support should be sought
from the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in their meet
ing later this month.
AS far as could be determined
the nearest approach to DR.. Jerna-
gins proposal was that made by
the American Jewish conference
on Aug. IA, the week before the
Dumbarton Oaks conference open
ed. They too asked for equality of
races and peoples, and freedom of
worship.
DR.. Jernagin pointed out that
during the Paris conference of 1919
the amendment made by the Japan
ese for equality of races was op-
posed by the United States and
Great Britain, and so the japanese
in turn fought the resolution Of
fered by President Wilson for free
dom of religious worship. DR.. Jer-
nagin would press for adoption of
both.

We hope and trust that members
of the legislature will show their

However, the facts are that legis-

we, hired them when we elected
| them to the legislature. Some Of
them at the 1943 session, fortunate
ly a minority, acted as if the cleo
ton gave them special personal
privilege. Under existing condi-
lions it would seem that if such
an attitude should develop this
time demands should be made
upon these members for a greater
show of loyalty to their state anc
their constituents. We realize that
/ many times these things prevail.
because the voters do not know
the facts. Keeping you informed
