TEACHERS BACK CANDIDATE
TO BREAK CELIBACY Law

GALVESTON, Texas, Apr. 5
(ANP)-Local Negro teachers are
backing Thomas D. Armstrong, an
outstanding businessman and the
third Negro in recent years to seek
membership on the Galveston
school board, in the coming election
of Galveston county to help break
the present law that forbids teach
ers from marrying.
This city is one among the few
cities in the state that do not per-
nit the marriage of teachers. Vio-
lations of this local means immedi-
ate dismissal by the school board.
Colored voters are hopeful to elect
Negro member to the board who

will be instrumental in breaking
the celibacy law.
Miss Ruby Bryant, a former
teacher in the city school and presi-
dent of the AKA sorority, sent a
communication to the school board
asking that the regulation regard
ing Negro married teachers be re-
scinded, and that they be employed
on the same basis as white teachers.
White teachers are appointed,
not elected to office, in the same
manner as colored teachers, the
school board replied. The same law
applied to them. The school board
added that no discrimination is
made in salaries or otherwise. Com
munications from other groups
have been received by the board on
the subject of multiplying the cele-
bacy law.

WRIT BLOCKS MOVE
TO DISCHARGE III
NEGRO RAILROAD men

ST. LOUIS, Apr. 5 (ANP)-U.
S. District Court Judge George H.
Moore temporarily blocked a move
to discharge Ill Negro trainmen
of the St. Louis-San Francisco
Railway Company and the St.
Louis-San Francisco and Texas
Railway Company here. The men
were slated to have been replaced
by white members of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen on April
l.
The order enjoins and restraints
Frank A. Thompson, trustee and
president of the railway lines, from
putting into operation the agree
ment he entered into on March Z

with the all-white BRIT, said Yer
non c. Coffey, attorney for the
Brotherhood of Trainmen, Brake
men, Porters, Switchmen, Firemen
and Railway Employees. The writ
also prevents Thompson from re-
placing Simon L. Howard, Sr., a
train porter of Memphis, and other
Negro trainmen known as train
porters with white brakemen as
Thompson's agreement had plan
ned.
Credit for temporarily blocking
the wholesale discharge goes to
Attys. Victor Packman and Henry
D. Espy, the colored trade unions,
railroad men, pastors of churches
and their members, said Coffey.
"The National Mediation Board,
Washington, D. c., and the first
division of the National Railroad
Adjustment Board, Chicago, flatly
refused to take jurisdiction over
this dispute and grant the relief
which was needed to save the imme-
diate dismissal of the Ill Negro
trainmen," Coffey revealed. This
dispute "came directly under the
provisions of the Railway Labor
Act of 1884" he pointed out.
Blasting the Chicago National
Adjustment Board, Coffey said the
odds were SO to l against favor
able decision from them because
each division of the National Rail-
road Adjustment Board is compos-
ed of members of what white
unions term "class one organiza-
tions and railroads" They are paid
by the union and railroad, he said,
and would undoubtedly favor the
white group in preference to Negro
railroad men, who do not pay their
salaries.
He deplored that Negro railroad
men should have to spend huge
sums in the United States courts to
get the justice congress had in mind
when they enacted the Railway La
Dor Act in 1884. Members Of the
National Railroad Adjustment
Board should be appointed by con-
gress or by the President of the
United States, instead of by rail-
road unions and by the different
railroad companies, Coffey declar-

Revised New Testament
Is Among Library Books
Christ And Atomic
Era Is The Theme
OF Another Volume

The revised New Testament, bas-
ed on the American Standard Yer
sion of 1901, of the Bible, is among
the most recent volumes received by
the Perry library, and is now avail
able 70" borrowers. But this is only
one of several interesting books adj
ded to the library'S collection. An
other deals with the theme of Christ
and the atomic era.
New Testament of Our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. an authorized
revision of the American Standard
Version of 1891 and of the KIM
James Version of 1911. This is the
work of the American Standard
Bible Committee, appointed in 1925
by the International Council of Re-
ligiouS Education, representing forty
Protestant denominations in tn,
United States and Canada. An eli
fort has been made to clarity tn
meaning, by light of further Enowl-
edge of the New Testament Greek,
and to substitute words now in use
for those which have become ar
chaic. This committee also tried To
preserve the grace and beauty Of
the 1911 Bible which they felt the
1901 Version had sacrificed. The Old
Testament is planned for publication
in 1850.
Peace of Mind, by the Jewish
scholar, Joshua Lehman, contains
strength and encouragement foc
those interested in psychology and
for those interested i'll religion.
Christ and Mans Dilemma was
written by DR.. Buttrick in the thirty
days following the dropping of the
first atomic bomb. He says "Thc
book has simmered for years-thai
apocalyptic event brought il 10 the
| boil. 1t is done, for it must be done
now. Christ or chaos is no longer
an hysterial or histronic plea. Our
| ignorance, badness, and morality
have brought us to the edge of
chaos: and we have no power, even
| though we are pricked with eter-
nifty, to choose Christ - unles/ He
chooses us. So this book pleads 70"
the real Christ. not for Christ as
vague ideal, for that would be no
match for our selfiShneSs; not for
Christ as name for our good Yen
tons. for they are less than strawS
in our modern tempest; but for
Christ as the Incarnate God"
