the middle west saw the award and
promptly wrote a letter to the ma
tiOnal office of the AKA's here and
demanded to know how did that guy
Hicks get that way.
The national office contacted me
and gave me long talk about how
the AKA's have always fought seq
regation and stuff and stuff, and
did not deny anthing said, but last
week the hospital construction bill
was passed with the AKA jim crow
amendment still in it.
And so, Joe, this week our prize
award is still flying for the AKA's.
This is only the beginning, Joe.
Next week we are going to tell you
what Walter Whites NAACP is
doing and then we are going to look
in on Lester Changers National
Urban League. And We'll be writ

you know where they stand.
Until then, we remain,

Wayman A. M. E. Church: Sunday, the
services were well attended. The pastor, the
Rev. L. P. Ashford, spoke from the sub
ject: while Shepherds Watched Their
Flock by Night" The text portrayed the
fact that if the Christian family would be
mindful and watchful of the things of to-
day it will be able to read the signs of the
time, for the shepherds were watchful, thus
they read the signs of the coming of Christ.
Mrs. Pauline Hayden of the st. John
A. M. E. church, Omaha, Nebraska, united
with the church. Mrs. Elsie Jackson wor-
shipped with us at this service.
The Sunday School had its Christmas tree
and program, Monday night. Thursday
night, the choir will have a Christmas
party and exchange of gifts at the church.
Sunday, the pastor will occupy the pulpit.
Sunday afternoon, the stewardess board is
having an evengelistic service at p. m.
All the evangelists of the city have been
invited. Come and enjoy a great spiritual
feast.
Watch Night services will start at 10
o'clock, at the close of the prayer and
praise service, there will be short sermon.
Sunday, January 6, the Steward Board is
having a stewards rally at 3 p. m. The

stead of degrees written in Latin
we should be seeking emblems at
testing to our courage in graphing
with concrete problems that have
to do with our fundamental right
to live.
Such degrees and scrolls should
be written in blood. They should
be based on the fact that we are
doing first things first. With all
his degrees, his Phi Beta Kappa

friend from Washington is still a
NEGRO" pronounced the way they
do it down South. Garfnkle's and
other fashionable stores in Wash
ington are for white folks and my
friend from Washington recognizes
this as a fact since he doesn't do
anything about it there, but comes
here to buy his shoes.
The same goes for other Wash
ington Negro dignitaries. They
have to come to New York or some
other city this side of Philadelphia
to eat in any restaurant they
choose; to see the shows and plays
they read about down there but are
barred from attending because they
belong to subject people.
And a main reason for this sad
state of affairs is the fact that our
leading Negroes in Washington, as
well as elsewhere, haven't done
anything to make the white man
respect US enough to give us our
rights to life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness. '...
And Negroes in Chicago, Detroit,
New York, Philadelphia, Los An
geles, and Boston shouldn't be too
happy about it because the same
things that take place in Washing
ton can very well be the situation
in their home cities.
It wouldn't be to presumptuous
to observe that the reason things
are better for Negroes in New York
than in Vicksburg, Miss, is because
the white man in the North has
schooled himself to tolerate US. He
certainly isn't afraid of US, physi-
cally, economically, or otherwise.
Until we can develop to the point
where we can inspire fear or re-
spect, our leading Negroes in
Washington and elsewhere in the
South will have to keep on coming
to New York to buy a pair of
shoes.

The integrity of Thomasina is

A much better job of lobby

House Minority Leader Joseph W.

to have enough Republican men,

of the big magazines, newspapers,
and periodicals.
He is answering in his views on
the race problem and believes most
sincerely that the key to the Ne
gro problem here in America is
through universal education of all
Negroes.
He wants every Negro to hold a
Phi Beta Kappa Key or to be in a
position where it can be had by
reaching and taking it.
He wouldn't move away from
Washington for anything. Like
the New Yorker swears by Gotham,
the Chicagoan by the Windy City,
and the Detroiter by the Motor
City, he swears by Washington and
wonders why anyone would like to
live elsewhere.
I asked him what he was doing
in town, that is, wasn't trying to
NEEDLE in his business, but asked
him the casual question as most
of US do when talking with some
one we know very well.
81 came up to buy a pair of
Shoes" he said. I looked at him
queerly, and then the significance
of what he said dawned slowly
upon me. He came over 400 miles
from the capital of the nation to
New York to buy some shoes. He
couldn't buy the kind of shoes he
wanted in Washington because the
places selling such shoes are owned
by reactionary whites and other
whites who abide by the strict Jim
Crow pattern upon which the seat
of American government is oper-
ated. So, to keep from going bare
foot, he caught the Congressional
Limited and spent the three and a
half hours needed to bring him to
Penn Station travelling to get some
shoes when he, had he been white,
or had he put his education to some
practical use, could have used that
time in owning and operating a
business that would place the prod
ucts he desired within reach after
a five minute walk.
He had to come all the way from
Washington to New York to get a
pair of shoes because Garfnkle's
in Washington won't sell to Negro
consumers!
The war is over now to all prac-
teal purposes, although much
could be said about the fighting
now going on in China and in the
Dutch East Indies; but as far as
Negroes are concerned, the war is
just starting.
All the talk we have done, all the
blood we have shed in five major
wars in which this country has
been involved doesn't as yet entitle
US to purchase a pair of shoes in
the capital of the nation we call our
homeland and where we hold citi-
zenship rights of a sort.
All the sacrifices we have made,
all the taxes we have paid doesn't
get us the common respect any
refugee from any of the Nazi-rid-
den countries Of Europe receives
as a matter of course. Perhaps
there is something wrong in the
way we approach our problem; In

Partisan Council recently spon-
sored provision in the Halliburton
hospital construction bill. This
provision bans race discrimination
in the building of hospitals with
Federal assistance, but sanctions
race segregation in such facilities
in states which have separate hos
pital facilities for separate popula-
ton groups.
During Senate debate on the
bill, Senator William LANCER, Re-
publican, of North Dakota,
sought to amend the bill so as to
give the right to a cOlOred pa
tient in a hospital built with
Federal assistance to have a col
Ored physician attend him, if he
so desired.
Senator Lister Hill, Democrat, of
Alabama, one of the authors of the
bill, opposed the LANCER amend
ment because the intent of the bill
is to leave to the states the ques-
ton of who shall practice in such
hospitals.
Before Senate passage of the bill,
Thomasina johnson, legislative
representative of the AKA Non
Partisan Council, was advised of
the plain meaning of the provision
she was sponsoring. She did a lot
of rationalizing and promised to
put in writing her reasons for spon-
soring the equal-but-separate hos
pital facilities provision. To date
she has not done so, but has at
tempted to capitalize upon the pas
sape of the hill without a dissent

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of Mrs. Matte Coleman who
passed away December &c, 1914.
I'VE cannot say-and will not say
That she is dead-she is Just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave of the
hand
She has wondered into an unknown land.
And left US dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers there,
And you-oh you-who the widest yearn
For the old time step and the glad return
Think of her fairing arms-as dear
In the love of There
AS the love of Here.
Think of her still as the same we say
She is not dead, she is Just away"
