section was stricken out. He later
prepared an ordinance prohibiting
slaves in the new western territory.
This proposed bill was lost by one
vote. Had that one vote been
changed there probably would have
been no civil war.
Fifty years later Jefferson said
in discussing his plans: Nothing is
more certainly written in the book
of fate than that these people are to
be free" Again he said: "The whole
commerce between master and
slave is perpetual exercise of the
most boisterous fashion, the most
unremitting despotism on the one
part and degrading submission on
the other. Our children see this and
learn to initiate it. Can the liberties
Of a nation be thought to be secure
when we have removed their only
firm basis, a conviction in the mind
Of the people that these liberties are
the gift of God; that they are not
to be violated by his wrath? Indeed,
I tremble for my country when / re-
fleet that God is just and that His
justice cannot sleep forever" One
clearly sees in Jefferson's writings
a background for Abraham Lin
coins philosophy.
Jefferson said: "The mass of
mankind has not been born with
saddles on their backs, nor favored
few booted and spurred, ready to
ride them legitimately, by the grace
of God" He also wrote: Almighty
God hath created the mind free, and
manifested His supreme will that
free it shall remain. !"
Thomas Jefferson will live for
ever in the hearts of men, wherever
freedom is loved the whole world
around.

PACIFIC GI'S RAISE CASH
FOR COLLEGE DRIVE
At CHURCH SERVICE

NEW YORK, Apr. 6 (ANP)-
One of the first contributions to the
1945 United Negro College fund
campaign, which opens on Apr. 18
with nationwide goal of 81, $50 900,
came from a battalion Of Negro
soldiers in the Pacific theatre of
operations who donated the money
during church service.
Army Chaplain Bergen Birdsall
revealed the circumstances of the
incident in letter to President
Joseph J. Rhoads of Bishop college,
Marshall, Tex, one Of the 80 pri-
vate Negro colleges participating
in the United Negro College fund.
"In addition to my duties as hos
pital chaplain, it is my pleasure to
serve a battalion of colored soldiers
located near the hospital" wrote
Chaplain Birdsall.
yesterday we had an attendance
of about $50 men. 1t is my custom
to challenge my congregation from
time to time to place a portion of
their money where it can bring large
dividends in the construction of a
better world"
At the service Chaplain Birdsall
called attention to the campaign OF
the United Negro College fund.
"Please accept the enclosed order
for this fund.-" he wrote. 81 do not
know their headquarters, but my
dear friend and brother chaplain
James CODY, told me you woulc
care for it for me-"
In answering Chaplain Birdsall
President Rhoads said: 81 an
| pleased to forward your money or.
der to the United Negro College
fund at 38 East 57th street, New
York. Your practice Of challenging
your congregation to invest a par
of their income in such movement.
is most praiseworthy."
In the initial fund campaign las
year more than $4,000 was con
tributed by Negroes serving in th'
armed forces throughout the world
an evidence of the interest of thes,
men and women in the Negro insti
tutions of higher learning.

PENNSYLVANIA FEp(
SEEMS ASSURED

HARRISBURG, Apr. 6 (ANP)-
Prospects for enactment of a Penn
sylvania state permanent FEPC
moved toward near certainty here
following a hearing before the
legislative committee of the assem-
bly,. More than 1000 persons
jammed the hearing room to urge
passage of the measure proposed
by Assemblyman Homer S. Brown,
without a single dissenting vote.
The public withdrawal, at the
hearing, of all other bills by their
sponsors in favor of the Brown bill
provided dramatic highlight of the
proceedings and also, informed OBJ
servers pointed out, speeded up the
probable passage of the Brown mea-
sure by thus removing all compet-
ing bills.
The Brown bill, incidentally, pat
termed after the Ives-Quinn law re-
Gently passed in New York, is also
much stronger than the New York
measure. The Pennsylvania mea-
sure applied specifically to state
agencies, also directs the commits
sion to prepare comprehensive
educational program and authorizes
it to receive private contributions
for that purpose.

jefferson was a lifelong anti

at will. This bill sought to nullify
the colonial statute Of 1929 prohib-

was lost. Jefferson included in the
Declaration of Independence a re-

five NURSES DEMAND HEARING.
ON CUSTER FROM HOSPITAL

WASHINGTON, Apr. 6 (ANP)
for public hearing on
thir dismissals from Upshur Street
tuberculosis hospital here were
made by five Negro nurses to the
district commissioners. Orders for
the discharge of the five nurses
were issued by Commissioner Guy
Mason on March 2 after they had
failed to report for work.
The demands, presented by for
mer Municipal Judge James A.
Cobb on behalf of the women alleged
that all five had submitted resigna-
tions the night before the firing
order, after more than year of
vain protest against lack of disci-
pline at the hospital.
The Upshur Street hospital was
recently the center of an investiga-
ton which included the entire dis
trict tuberculosis system, based on
charges Of mismanagement which
stemmed from the nurses COM
plants.
Cobb, in submitting the demands,
declared that none of the five wants
her job back but all Of them want to
"clear the record" The request fur
ther points out that four of the
nurses were off duty at the time of
the alleged walkout and further,
that their absence did not endanger
the health of the patients because
there are never more than one or
two nurses supervising the patients
at one time.
Upshur Street hospital in an in
stitution for walking tuberculosis
patients, serves chiefly as rest
home and rehabilitation training
center. Both Negro and white pa
tients are accepted and the major
portion of the program aims at
guiding the patients into occupa-
tions which they can enter without
threat to their condition.
Strangely enough, AMP learned,
regular instructors have be e n
known to have been provided at the
hospital for Negro patients but not
for whites. The Negro nurses super
wise all the patients, Negro and
white, however, and according to
the statement of the five discharged
nurses, some of the white patients
Seemed to resent orders" being
given by them.
During the past year, the nurses
insist, they have registered COM
plants repeatedly against this and
other instances of lack of discipline
at the hospital but the only reply
they have received from the institu-
tion authorities, they said was the
advice that if they were mot salts
fled with the working conditions
(they could) get out or request a
transfer.
The five nurses involved are Mil
lie M. Jones, Emma L. Roundtree
Josephine M. Jones, Rebekah A.
Reid and Alice B. Gilpin.

URGE CONGRESS TO PASS
ANTI-BIAS LAW
BROOKLY, Apr. 6 (ANP)-
That the entire nation be guided by
law which bars discriminatory
practices from industry, more than
400 persons gathered to attend the
first annual interracial conference
sponsored by the Brooklyn Catholic
Interracial council in st. Peter
Claver auditorium, and passed a
resolution which urges congress "to
support the early enactment of the
bipartisan fair employment bill"
George K. Hunter, editor of the In
terracial Review, presented the res
olution.
every Catholic priest knows that
the Negro is man, composed of
body and soul made in the image of
Almighty God, his Creator" the
Rt. Rev. Msgr. Raymond J. Campion,
pastor of the church, declared as he
told how the war has given the Ne
gro chance to prove his mechani-
cal and intellectual skills "on the
par with white workers." He has
had a chance to demonstrate his
love and devotion to his country and
to it's democratic ideals quite out OF
proportion to the harsh treatment
he has received and is still receiv-
ing, the minister stated.
"The Negro is not an inferior be-
ing," he declared. "He is not sub
human. I have never read in the
sacred books of the Bible that the
Negro is described as less than hu-
man. Our Lord gave his life for all
men. This is the principle that
guides the priests of St. Peter Clavel
in their ministry to the Negro peo.
pie Of Brooklyn"
Another minister, the Rev. Alex.
ander Leedie, AVID, pastor of St
Peter Claver church, Asbury park
declared that Catholic institutions
act in an "illogical and degrading
manner when they close their doors
to Negro students. Christ" he said
wishes all men to be sacred anc
come to a knowledge of the truth
yet, many pipelines leading to the
fountain of truth are denied to mer
of color thirsting to drink it's saw
ing waters. However, healthy trends
in the right direction are evidenced
on all sides. The doors of most out
standing Catholic colleges and uni
versities are now open for Negroe!
to enter.
"Prejudice is a disease that Otter
fingers and dies hard. But tru'
Christian interracial education is /;
potent medicine and remedy"
John F. X. McGehey, U. S. attor
ney for the southern district, asket
every Negro in the audience t.
promise that from now on you ar
going to exercise one Catholic vir
tue toward your white brother

scribed interracial justice as 9Th
biggest thing we are going to hav
to talk and think about and live wit
in the years that follow the war.
