ATLANTA, Mar. 7 (ANP)-|
Justice, liberty, religion and broth

on which a lasting peace must be
built" DR.. Sherwood Eddy, noted
writer, lecturer and traveller, told
students of Morehouse college
here.
Speaking out against many of
the injustices in America, DR.. Ed
dy asserted, "you can't have justice
with slums and with millions de-
MED the vote. Our segregation sys-
tenn is an absolute negation of
brotherhood and we stand dis
graced as long as we stand for
segregation
The growing struggle between
the liberal and conservative ele-
ments in Washington to DR.. Eddy
is of far more Importance than the
battle in Germany. Referring to
Henry Wallace as the Abraham
Lincoln of our generation, the
speaker asserted, America has
everything to make it the leading
country of the world. We have
everything but we must provide
Jobs through free enterprise. It is
up to u.s." he declared, whether
we return to the normalcy of the
past or whether we are interested

WOMEN URGE PROSECUTION
OF White ATTACKERS
OF NEGRO GIRL

ATLANTA, Mar. Z (ANP)-
Vigorous and unrelenting prose-
cution of three white youths ac-
cused in the kidnapping and rape
of 17-year-old colored school girl,
is being demanded by large num-
ber of white women, members of
the Georgia Interracial commits
sion.
The group has sent a petition to
both Solicitor Gen. Roy E. Lethers
and Judge James G. Davis of the
Stone Mountain circuit, urging
them to make certain that justice
is carried out, expressing the be-
lief that such a move would "bet-
ter racial relations in Georgia"
The three suspects, all under in
dictment on capital crimes of rape
and sodomy, were released under
bonds totaling only $6,000 They
are scheduled to be placed on trial
around March Is. All three of the
men have been identified by the
girl victim and her companion.
The attacks occurred Christmas
eve as the couple was enroute
from church. Waylaid on the road,
the girl was abducted, her compan-
ion severely beaten, and she was
forced at the point of a knife to
accompany them in an automobile
to lonely shack deep in the woods
of an adjoining county. All three
of the men had relations with her
the girl said
Slated to face trial are Ralph
New of Tucker, Ca, Ralph Goza
of Kirkwood, Ga, and Harold
Lamar of Tucker, who is sailor,
assigned to the Atlanta Naval Air
station.

PARENTS fail T0ATTEND|
MACFARLANE RALLY

for Principal MacFarlane could
not attract a hundred parents.
Every citizen must know now that
the parents have spoken.
The small group that did attend
was not completely MacFarlane.
Many of them came to voice OBJ
lection to him. They came under
the assumption that it was free,
open meeting in which parents
would speak their convictions in
free land and in a public institution
supported by all citizens. They
were rudely awakened from their
naive conclusion about the meeting
and the character Of it's promoters.
For it was definitely stated that
only those who were in favor of
MacFarlane could speak. All op-
position to Mr.. MacFarlane was
muzzled as completely as if the
meeting were in Germany rather
than Dunbar in free America.
If it is an error to assert the
principle Of action at this mass
meeting of Dunbar parents, the
Citizens Committee stands cor
rection by the sponsors. Yet all
Dunbar parents present at that
meeting testify that no emporium
ity aCas permitted for expressing
opposition to Mr.. MacFarlane.
Parents with children in Dunbar
were bluntly Informed that their
right to speak was determined by
their attitude to him. If they aUere
for MacFarla,ae they could spake.
If they Uere against him they could
not speak. And this is "the land
of the Free"
This is surely an indication that
the time has come to meet intoler-
ances with a frontal attack. What

The best evidence OF the real
conviction of Dunbar parents re-
garding retention of Mr.. MacFar-
lane as principal was given in no
uncertain terms last Tuesday eve
ming at a mass meeting of parents
and students specifically called for
that purpose. Despite the wide use
of the student body in acquainting
parents with the urgent need of
showing a solid front and in spite
of the language of the invitation
which urged attendance of par
ents lest Dunbar be operated by
'The Citizens Committee, the
parents were conspicuous by their
absence. They simply weren't
there.
1t has long been the assumption
of large section of many citizens
that Principal MacFarlane en-
joyed the overwhelming support of
parents who only waited an op-
portunity to give public expression
to their loyalty. Yet in a mass
meeting dedicated to a demonstra-
ton for him less than one hundred
parents came to express their sup
port. Employment of students and
appeal to prejudice were met by
host of parents who Just did not
come. This is the real answer of
Dunbar parents to the opinion
that they were unit in their af-
fection for principal who has
been so solicitious for the welfare
of their children.
No amount of sophistry can ex-
plain the failure of parents to at
tend this rally for Principal Mac
Farlane. No longer can it be main
tained that the parents of 1900
students form a Maginot line in
his defense. The parents of Dunbar
by their absence spoke more pow
erfully than words. Their very alb
sense is testimony of their dis
content. The myth that they were
a silent, strong army who would
stand by Mr.. MacFarlane ito the
death" is dead.
The Citizens Committee knew
that the parents would not attend
except in opposition. Already the
campaign to remove Mr.. MacFar-
lane had enlisted support by thrice
the number who responded to the
fervent plea of "The Dunbar De-
fense Association" the size of the
actual audience (apart from stu
dents) was a revelation. Even the
Citizens Committee was unaware
that Mr.. MacFarlane had lost his
following to this extent. 1t was
known that only eight persons had
appeared before the Board of Ed
ucation at previous meeting and
that only two attend the last meet
ing of the Board to offer defense
Of Dunbar (although none was
needed, nevertheless it was never

Pack WooIens
Carefully

NOV tnat warm weather is
~ here to stay. cool linens and
shantungs are replacing tweeds,
flannels and other woolens IN
your wardrobe. Though you may
be tired of the winter woolens
and anxious TO get them out or
the way. they'll look good TO
-,ou come fall when summer
Things have become tiresome.
So, pack them away safely.
-&oolens are far from plentiful
and consequently difficult
often impossible-to replace.
One of the best methods OF pro-
tecting them from moth damage
is to place them in a cedar chest
for the summer.
A chest having a basic con-
struction of 70 per cent red
cedar heartwood rightly carries
a moth-proof guarantee. The
aroma naturally present In the
wood paralyzes moth larvae so
that they eventually die without
having done any damage.
Before placing clothes in the
chest, have them cleaned or
hang them outside for a good
airing. Brush them thoroughly
TO eliminate the possibility OF
larvae lurking in the seams or
folds. Then tuck them away in
the chest. keep the lid tightly
closed so that none OF the cedar
aroma will escape. and forget
about them until you need them
again next fall.

Sudsing Oily Skin

FOR THE oily skin. a rousing
old lathering is the first beauty
rule. Fill the wash bowl with
fairly hot water. Dip in the
wash cloth which should be
large, heavy and of rough tex
ture. A clean one should be
used every day, by the way.
Soap the cloth well. Use enough
energy to spread lather over
the flesh. Rinse the suds away
with warm water. Then rinse
with cold water to give the
flesh good coloring. Dry with
gentle pats of the towel. Fold
the towel over the hands, pat
upward from collar bones to
forehead. That is a sort Of
facial treatment.
