AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
 INVITED NATIONS

Gentlemen: You are the repre- sentatives of the enlightened na- tions of the world. It is your prinn- ary purpose to build a lasting world peace, outlawing war and guaranteeing the rights and free dom of all of the peoples of the world. You are established here in the United States of America to study, discuss and formulate plans to remove the causes for bitter ness and hatred of one man to- ward another - the human frailty that has been the real reason for all of our devastating wars.
 You recognize that our previous organized efforts to establish a world organization that could guarantee peace failed because sham and hypocricy were substi- tuted for statesmanship at the council tables. You must recognize now that your host, the United States of America, is nation in which a continuing program against a portion of it's citizenry is as firmly established as are the articles of the constitution.
 You, gentlemen, cannot have failed to notice that the United States is committed to a policy of racism that is as devastating and as inimical to world peace as was the master race policy of the mad man, Hitler. You must know that the men who rule the Congress and the Senate of the United States are men who are elected, in most cases, in a most unrepre- sentative manner from states where at least a third, and some times one-half, of the population is disfranchised because of race. Lynch-Law Prevails
 You must have noticed, gentle men, that the lynch-law that pre- vails throughout the South exacted for human lives as a tribute to white American supremacy and that the Federal Government is powerless to act to mete out pun ishment for this crime, or to pre- vent a recurrence of similar hu- man slaughter to satisfy the blood lust of hate-mad, fear-ridden men who fancy themselves the guard ians of the nations destiny.
 You cannot believe, gentlemen, that the United States of Amer ica is a suitable location for any organization that holds the fate of the world within it's grasp. You cannot expect the non-white na- tions of the world to feel secure

Georgia Governor

New York, August 1 - Imme- diately on hearing news of the posting of a s1O,OOO reward by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Georgia lynchers, Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia sent the following telegram to the Association:
 Delighted that NAACP is offering reward of $1O,OO0 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Walton County lynchcrs. Have today wired Pre- sident Truman, Attorney General Tom Clark and F'BI Director J. Edgar Hoover appreciation for invaluable assistance being accor- ded state and local authorities by federal government. You may be assured that I will use every re- source at my command as governor to see that members of the mob are brought to Justice

nected with his case. MT. White, in issuing this statement, said that he desired to warn the public against interruptions people who might attempt to use Isaac Woo dard's unfortunate plight for their own selfish purposes.
 A man claiming to represent the NAACP and the Veterans Ad- ninistration has obtained Isaac Woodlands signature on a paper allegedly connected with the pur- chase of some property. The NAACP is doing everything with in it's power to locate this man and to have him prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
 Thousands of people have ex- pressed their sympathy and in- terest in this blinded Negro vete- ran and it is the desires of the NAACP to insure Isaac Woodland that he shall not be subjected to interruptions exploitation. The cn1y manner in which this can be done is to inform the public ot the existence of the trust fund set up in the Associations office

Health For All

InocuIation with a serum first used by Louis Pasteur, or a modi- fication of this serum, creates i'm munity to the disease and is re- commended if there is any doubt as to whether the dog which infiic- ted the bite was rabid.
 If there is the slightest ques- tion about the condition of a dog which bites a human being, call 8 doctor or the health department immediately. Meanwhile, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water.
 Every effort should be made to catch the dog, which should then be turned over to the health off, cer. Do not kill the dog. The health officer will keep the animal under observation until it can be determined whether or not the dog was mad. Rabies develops within a short time in dogs. If the dog was not mad, there is no danger that rabies will develop in the human being
 The doctor may advise inocula- ton regardless. By all means follow his advice. It takes six weeks or so for the disease to de- velop in man. If treatment is be- gun at once, it can be prevented.
 The bite of a mad dog is par ticularly dangerous if it is on the face or neck, the hands and any other exposed part of the body.
 In the next article, TB among young people will be discussed.

NAACP To File Brief In Case

Jamaica, l.. l., August l - Mo tion for leave to intervene as ami GUS curiae in the Addisleigh Park, L l., housing case will be made on August End by the NAACP and the American Jewish Con gress before Supreme Court Jus tice Charles W. Froessel, who last month granted temporary in- junction prohibiting Mrs. Sophie Rubin from selling her house at 112-03 177th Street, to a Negro.
 Andrew D. Weinberger, attor- ney for the Association, declared today that the case will be carried to the U. s. Supreme Court if necessary. "Jim-Crow restrictive covenants are cold and unenfor- ceable under the U. s. Constitu- ton and the public policy of the St te of New York;, MT. Vein berger said, "There has been no decision by an appellate court in this state, but the Los Angeles, California, Superior Court in De- cember, 1945, held such neighbor- hood covenants void on constitu- tional grounds"
 On the complaint of Negroes living in the Addisleigh Park sec tion of Jamaica, L. l., Police Com missioner Arthur w. Wallander, N Y.C., ordered an investigation of warnings" from the Ku Klux Klan received by these home owners to get out. Among the recipients of these notes of hate were Dr. John H. Singleton, mem Der of the NAACP Board of Di- rectors; Charles A. Collier, Jr, Secretary of the CityIWide Citi- zens Committee on Harlem, and Dr. William H. Plesant.

PLAIN TALK
By JOHN M. LEE

so long as the United Nations Or ganization reposes in a land where women are lynched for a reason no greater than the fact that they recognized the murderers who killed their husbands. You must not believe this to be an isolated Incident; you must believe that lynching is a general custom of most of the South and that there is no authority in the nation that has been powerful enough to blot out this great American shame. You must consider now, gentle l men, what you are to do about this grave crime against world civilization. You must act to pro- tect the minority citizens of the United States has demonstrated again and again that it cannot guarantee the rights and the very lives of one third of it's citizens; are you prepared to accept, gentle men, that the United States be entrusted with the leadership for world peace?
 Can America Establish Peace? Are you, gentlemen, willing to entrust the leadership of your inn portant organization to the repre- sentatives of nation that con- ] fesses is inability to establish peace within it's own borders? Can you not determine the temper of the times from the temper of the people who play a large part in financing and setting the policy of your organization? Are you more mortified by the terrible efficiency of the atom bomb than you are by the horrible efficiency of Geor- gia mob?
 Can you shut your eyes to the continuing threat to every human principle for which the United Ma tions stand, that is present in the mob-ruled 1awless communities of the South? Dare you hope for peace in the world while there is the lust to kill rampant in the na- tion where you carry on your de- Alterations? Can you, gentlemen, continue to ignore the truth of the United States false position?
 Are you informed, gentlemen, that a mob of patriotic, Southern Americans gouged out the eyes of a Negro soldier because they were angry with him and had lost sight of the great principle of Democ- I racy for which he fought? Will , you be satisfied, gentlemen, to have your organization represented by impressive buildings in a charming ! setting, or are you concerned with human beings and lasting peace for all of them?

Prince Hall Masonic News
BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR FIRST GRAND MASTER

Let's see now how Prince Hall and the African Lodge No. 459 fits into the Masonic picture l have painted for the last few weeks. Masonic harmony, both in England and Massachusetts,, was still thing to be hoped for when on March 6, 1775 Prince Hall and IA other colored men were initiat- ed into the mysteries of Freema- sorry in one of the English regi- mental lodges attached to the army under General Gage, sta toned in Boston. Incidentally = just in case some of the older men in Castle William Lodge have not told some of the younger members it was at Castle William in Bos- ton Harbor (afterwards called Fort Independenee) that Prince Hall received his degrees.
 AS you no doubt remember have related how membership in the Provincial Grand Lodge-Mod- ern-was restricted, probably on a social basis. Undoubtedly Prince Hall, Boston Smith, Thomas San derson and other Negroes of good repute were among those who were not welcome in the St. Johns Lodge. So these men, like many other colonists turned to the travel ling regimental lodges. Of these Prince Hall, however, seems to be the only Mason who clung to the modern schism of the order and applied to he Grand Lodge of England for a Charter.
 While Prince Hall and the bro thers initiated with him were free to exercise all Masonic rights and priviledges, except to meet, they did no work nor did they make any members until May 6, 17s7. Prince Hall had applied to the Grand Lodge of England - Mo- dern - on March 2, 1784. It was issued to them under the name African Lodge No. 459, with Prince Hall as Master on Septem- Der 29, 1784. The charter or war rant was not received, however, until April %, 1787. Seven days later at the home of Prince Hall on Congress St., the Lodge was organized under it's warrant and work carried on.
 The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the Commonwealth of Massachu- sets is today carrying on the work initiated by Prince Hall on May 6, 1787, under the only Warrant ever granted to a group of broth CTS in the State of Massachusetts by the Grand Lodge of England.

HEALTH FOR ALL
 RABIES

Since dogs run about in the open more in the summer than in the winter and, consequently, there are apt to be more dog bites in the warm months, people generally suppose that rabies is most common in summer. Actually, the disease is more prevalent in cold weather. How ever, rabies may occur at any time of year and word about the disease now may be helpful, particularly since dog bites are more common in the summer and dog bites cause people to think of rabies.
 Rabies, or hydrophobia, is an infectious disease communicated to man by the bite of certain ami nals, most frequently the dog, which have been infected with the disease. It develops when the virus, travelling along mans ner- vous system, reaches the brain.
 Every human being who is bit ten by dog does not, of course, Iget rabies. There is danger only if the dog it 'mad" and even then the disease will not develop if the proper preventive measures are taken. Since no method has been found to cure rabies, it is of the utmost importance to prevent it - and to remember that it can be prevented even after a bite by a 1'mad" dog.

MAGAZINE RACK
By Samuel P. Perry, IT. WHO IS A NEGRO? - Herbert Asbury 6. August, ColIier's)


 This article is to be read only by the most open-minded persons and even then it is likely to evoke varied reaction. MT. Asbury is con- cerned with the question of pas sing but it is feared that politi- cal demagogues may seize upon the article as ammunition for vitu- perating against progressive legis- lation here in America as the for mer Christian Frontiers did rela- tive to illegitimacy in England several months ago.
 The question of color has plagued many Negroes to such a degree that artificial non-rational social strata based on color alone have been established within the group. Unfortunately, the exploit CT knows of such a condition and makes capital of it. The next step from these strata is passing for economic and social reasons, es- sentially the escape from low sal aried jobs and restrictive conven- ants. Needless to say, such pas sers' are totally useless in the con-
 stant, bitter fight for the econom- ic freedom for the Negro, the lack of which forced them into a stra- tum where they live in fear of recognition or resort to anti 1 Negroism themselves to forestall l recognition. But the fact that some Negroes DO pass cannot be overlooked and that is what MT. Asbury is primarily concerned with here.
 States MT. Asbury: Authorities now generally agree that between 15,000 and 30,0O0 persons classed
 as Negroes go over to the white side every year, although a few investigators have placed the an- nual migration as high as 100000. And as Walter White, once said, Large as is the number who cross the line, it is but a small percentage of those who might fol- low such an example but who do not'."
 Next under the purview of the author fall the questions of inter marriage, permanent passing, seg- mental passing (part- time passing for economic security - govern ment work and otherwise), the
 constant fear of recognition in
 which the passer lives, the event. ual intermixture of the races, that is, the complete absorption of the Negro into the white race, accord ing to the predictions of the an- thropologists.
 "................A constantly widening stream of colored blood is intro duced into the white population. Hundreds of prominent American men and women who live as whites are actually white Negroes. An thropoligical thought believes that absorption may be delayed, or perhaps even prevented, by the operation of caste system that has arisen among the Negroes of the United States..."
 While MT. Asbury was concerned with the fact of passing and there by was able to predict the gradual absorption, eventual freedom of the Negro, indubitably he acknow- ledged tacitly that the economic freedom battle waged on the part
 of Negroes must be fought by realists facing present facts, and
 not by escapists, who must by cir
 cumstances lead lives of compla-
 cency.
