NOrthside Branch YMCA
To Move Into
New Quarters

Atty. Charles f. Davis, chair
man of the Committee of Manage
ment of the Near Northside
Branch YMCA, announced this
week that the "Y" would move to
2307 North Twenty-fourth Street
on December 10th, since the lease
on the present quarters expires
on that date.
The present lease was secured
last December by the Youth Cen
tiers Inc, affiliate of the Commu-
nifty Welfare Council of the Com
munity Chest, for the establish
ment of the Northside Commun-
ity Center. With the advent of
the YMCA program into the COM
munity the Northside Community
Center was dissolved and the lease
on the building was assigned to
the Omaha YMCA for the balance
of its term.
The building has been repurch-
ased by Mr.. James c. Jewell to
be used as "a business center. Da-
Wis also announced that although
the new location is somewhat
smaller than the present quarters
the same program will still be
carried on in an effort to meet
the needs and interests of the ci-
items of the community.
The gymnasium of the Urban
League together with other COM
munity facilities will be used by
the "Y" groups.
Renovation and decoration of the
quarters will start on December
10th, with an official opening
scheduled before the holidays. No
interruption in the activities is
anticipated during the moving and
renovation. The committee of man
agement and staff appreciates the
cooperation of the entire commu-
nifty in the "" program and con-
tinually urge them to participate
in the "Y" activities.

Louisville Branch NAACP
Pickets Segregated Theatre

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 18th
To protest the policy of segrega-
ton in a municipal auditorium. the
Louisville branch of the NAACP
threw a picket line around the Mu
nicipal Auditorium tonight where
Billy Roses Carmen Jones" is
being presented.
According to Alfred M. Carroll
president of the branch, while the
general policy of the auditorium
years ago had been to segregate-
at all attractions, under former
Mayor Wilson Wyatt, g new policy
had been put into effect of no Sc
gregation when Negro attractions
appeared.
To make clear to the citizens of
Louisville that there were people
and organizations which resented
the present Mayors policy of Sc
aggregation, the NAACP will con-
tinue to demonstrate throughout
the run of this popular all-Negro
musical.

II II were not for the present
chaotic conditions surrounding
the whole question of Negro equal
ity, the a ce prejudice and lynch
ings which have disgraced the
national social and political scenes
it would be presumptuous for any
white Americas 10 comment on
the matter at ALL
But those conditions do exist.
and I have been asked what is
the case for Negro equality. My
answer to that is there is the
same case for Negro equality as
there is, let us say. for white equ-
atty or for religious equality.
In the first place, Negroes are
people. AS such, they are equal
to all other people, neither below
them nor above them in the hui
man scale. In a world gravely in
danger of being blown to bits by
its w Frankenstein thinking and
acting. il seems to me some sort
Of new high in idiocy for one kind
Of human being to place himself
in a superior position to any other.
And no contrary law of natural
selection, to my knowledge, or
yer has existed.
In the second place. Negroes in
this country are American citi-
zens. AS such they are entitled
TO enjoy all the political rights
and privileges enjoyed by other
Americans. be they white or red
or brown or yellow or black. If
political justice and and democra-
cy exist, there simply can be no
dividing line between one SORT of
citizen and another.
If they taught me nothing else
my years years in India with the
American forces taught me that
bitterness and violence must al
ways accompany race prejudice.
II was evident to any observer in
that field that much more detest-
ed than the economic exploitation
which the people Of India resented
vas the arrogance and assumed
superiority of those who had been
sent to govern them.
In my opinion. the bill for a
Fair Employment Practice Com
mission is the most important
piece of unenacted legislation in
the country today and its early
adoption should be urged by every
one able to make himself heard.

'BILBO IS ISSUE
CIVIL RIGHTS

a strong plea that the open
hearings on the fitness of Senator
Theodore G.. Bilbo to take his seat
in the new Senate not be confined
to Mississippi or to residents Of
Mississippi was directed today to
the Senate Campaign Expendi-
lures Committee by the Gro.
Applauding the decision of the
senate committee to open it's in
quiry in jackson, Miss, on Dec. 2
the civil rights organization warn
ed that certain witnesses, espec-
tally Negroes, would be reluctant
to give testimony in the "restric.
tive and threatening atmosphere
which pervades. the state Call
ing such witnesses to Washington
would assure fuller and freer tes-
timony, it was asserted by Milton
Kaufman, executive director, in q
letter to the senate committee.
Testimony concerning Senator
Bilbo's campaign statements can
hardly be confined to Mississippi
sources, since the campaign was
covered by the newspapers and ra-
dio on a national scale, Kaufman
stated.
The Civil Rights Congress also
urged that the inquiry should ex-
tend beyond the issue of denial Of
suffrage resulting from the cand-
dates open ~exhortations to violate
the constitution and i~ncitation to
lawlessness."
mo inquiry into Senator BiIbo's
fitness to sit,' he declared. "can
fail to include his espousal on the
floor of the Senate of policies of
anti-Semitism, rabid race supre-
macy and the approval Of Nazi
doctrines. His correspondence with
citizens throughout the nation. on
Senate stationery, vituperative and
insulting to their race, religion or
birthplace, should be also studied"
We also urge a public dec1ara-
ton by the committee as a whole
or by the chairman in behalf of
the committee, that all Mississippi
witnesses who appear to testify
will receive the fullest federal pro
lection of their person. Without
such open and unconditional as
surance, considerable evidence
that the committee has the right
and duty to study, will be with
held.
Asserting that it had assisted
in the preparation of the material
now before the committee, the or
ganization offered "the services Of
