Langston Hughes, author and poet,
whose appearance was sponsored
by the Urban League of Portland;
Marian Anderson, world famed
contralto; Roland Hayes, famous
tenor; and Paul Robson, the lat
ter three sponsored by Ellison
White Studios. The last named is
Rutgers all-American end, a Phi
Beta Kappa lawyer. actor and
Americas great baritone. 1t was
for his pleasure and the oppor-
tunity for them and scores of 9th
ers to see and meet him at a close
up. that members of staff and
board OF International House,
18th and Division St, entertained
at a gala reception following his
concert Saturday evening The
spacious reception rooms were
taxed for standing room before
the artist arrived. Those in at
tendance did more than represent
a cross-section of Portland's COM
munity interests; they were an
interracial, international repre-
sentation.
Robson was presented TO the
appreciative group by George
Thomas, race relations director,
who said, this great man needs
no introduction. Robson aug

three choice numbers including
Water Boy" Among the things
he said: Relaxation of racial ten
sion depends largely upon unem
ployment situation, particularly
the Negro problem. The unrest
existing in the world today is due
to the struggle for 1eveling up,
putting things Alright. The great
est thing needed in the world to-
day is freedom-FREEDO for
all peoples-be they yellow, red
brown black or white" This great
world traveller pleaded and urged
his people-the Negroes-to stand
firm don't become discouraged ;
there's brighter day ahead de-
spite today's gloom" He stressed
the importance of such legislation
as the FEPC. His insight on in
ternational politics was startling
to the less informed, The group
sang Lift Every Voice and Sing.
Pouring at the attractively ap'
pointed reception table were Mrs.
Chinn and Mrs. Mary NJ. Duncan
Assisting with refreshments Were
Mrs. r. Hungerford, Mrs. Roy

council. The FEPC bill is as

the Senate but it isn't impossible
/ for it to be taken down from

buster means only the end of the
first skirmish. Out of the coun-
try's reyulsion to the filibuster
has come the greatest victory on
this issue. The cloture vote of 4S
to 36 is in itself inspiring. This
is the first time in the history
of legislation affecting minority
groups that clear majority has
been obtained. Moreover, the

why the fight must be continued"
Mrs. Roundtree urged that Port

She said. Il leave the committee

CHURCHES

Bethel A. NJ. f. has during the
last month, two weeks Of which
Rev. Austin was in Washington
d. C., had a galaxy of visiting
minister-guest speakers. We make
special mention of Rev. Thomas
Lewis, of Everett, Wash; Rev.
Gerald Davis of the US All
Corps; Chaplain NJ. A. Lowe OF
the Reserve Officers Corps, US;
Rev. Hamilton T. Boswell pastor
of Bowen Memorial NJ. E. Church,
Los Angeles. Each brought mes
sages that Bethel's congregation
will long remember.
Sunday, Feb. 8, Rev. Austin,
pastor OF Bethel, with his choir,
exchanged pulpits with DR.. Edw.
A. Wolfe, pastor of Sunnyside
Methodist and his choir of 80
voices. At Sunnyside, Rev. Aus
tins scripture reference was the
9th Psalm. His subject: Rejoice
in the Lord, in which he pointed
out that, as Christians We are
giving false conception to the
teachings of Christ. DR.. Wolfe at
Bethel chose 10th chapter OF Acts.
His subject: Prove Thy Self
Lies Investments" DR.. Wolfe
said among many things, the
Lord has big job trying to teach
nations-all races to live togeth-
er. The world isn't going to be-
lieye in the Christian church I'M
til we professed Christians rid
ourselves of selfishness." We

The BIGOTS ARE
AT IT AGAIN

We had hoped, after the people
so resoundingly repudiated ap-
peals to race prejudice in the last
gubernatorial campaign, that the
demagogues had learned their les
son.
Such, unfortunately, does not
seem to have been the case. Cur
rently being manifest in the race
of Bob Ramspeck's congressional
post is a vicious example of re
ligious intolerance reminiscent oil
Nazism at its worst. And already
there are indications that the
same rabid factions discredited
four years ago are assiduously
preparing their venom for this
summers governors race.
1t is disheartening that having
lust suffered more than a minor
casualty in an effort to stamp out
the self-assumed master race oil
Europe. we should be confronted
with the same bigoted theories
here at home.
1t is disheartening that having
hundreds of thousands OF Ameri-
can youths-of every color, race
and creed-laid down their lives
that irresponsible fanatics can ere
ate strife and dissension by stir
ring racial and religious bias.
We can only hope that those
who have no more to offer than
narrow-minded bigotry will re-
ceive such a lack of encourage
ment at the hands of an outraged
electorate that sooner or later eV-
en- their small minds will learn
that campaigns based on prejudice
do not make for victory at the
polls.-The Atlantic Constitution.
