President Truman
Nails Freedom
Train
CLARK SAYS WORST ENEMY
WE HAVE TO LICK is
PREJUDICE

Philadelphia President Tru-
man, in a message hailing the ar
rival of the reedom Train, which
is to carry historic American do
.cuments on a year-long, nation
wide tour, declared last Tuesday
night that freedom is everybody S
job"
The message was read in a net
work broadcast from Independ-
ence Hall by Attorney General Tom
c. Clark, originator Of the Free
dom Train indea.
"Our world will be won or lost
in our own homes, our churches
our schools, our union halls" the
President said in his message. I
hope that every citizen = and
especially our young people
will take part in the special week
of rededication of which the Free
dom Trains visit will be the eli
max and will renew and refresh
faith in our democracy
II pray that each individual cit
izen everywhere will determine in
his heart to continue to fight aga
inst bigotry and intolerance and
will determine to do all in his
power to assure the blessings of
liberty in full measure for every
American and for mankind.
I'm the last analysis, we Amer
leans have but one thing to give to
the oppressed peoples of the world.
We have freedom to give them.
1T is heritage which we Amer
leans must share with the world,
for in this noble heritage of free
dom for the individual citizen,
without distinction because Of race
or creed or color, lies the world S
great hope Of lasting peace.
more Important to the world
than the atom bomb is this COM
ception of freedom for the in
dividual. Whether the areas of free
dom shrink in the world or in
crease in the next few years de-
Ponds in large measure upon how
well we Americans perform our
duties Of citizenship.
Now as never before in our his
tory we are going about these dut-
les in the full glare Of the world
spotlight and In the full view Of
peoples without our tradition of
liberty. our wel1-springs OF streng-
tn, who are desperately trying to
find the pattern for their own fut-
ure. Each failure by any one Of
us mars the picture of US that
the world Sees"
Attorney General Clark told s.
900 selected school children and,
by radio, an estimated 100000
others in his independence Square
address that "the worst enemy
we have to lick is prejudice"
Prejudice grows out Of ignor--
ance," he asserted. when you
find a man who Is prejudiced
against some certain group of
Americans - because OF color, or,
race, or religion you can set
it down that he is an ignorant
man.
TT is not very bright to be
influenced by ignoramuses. An ig-
noramus doesn't know what he
is talking abot, for one third, and
for another, he hasn't read the

Physicians And Surgeons

A meeting of the Chamber of
Comerce members and other rep
resentative citizens was held in
the offices of the Security Life
Insurance Co. on the evening of
Septmeber 18th to hear a pres
entation of the aims, policies and
plans of the Jackson Memorial
Hospital.
This new hospital will provide
the most modern facilities for
people of all races and creeds and
will include many features of
great advantage to the Negroes.
Among these viii be an entire
floor of bedrooms; a nursing
school; offices, Coat room and
lounge for colored physicians who
treat their own patients; ard "a
special operating room for Mag
TO surgeons, whereby they may
develop their operating techRsq4e.
Jack H. Young, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, cORduc-
ted the meeting which was opened
by Rev. A. Buxton Keeling. pastor
of st. Marks Episcopal church,
with a prayer of invocation. w. H.
Williams, past president of the
Chamber of Commerce announced
that the meeting had been called
to allow general hearing of the
details of the hospital in which
he had become greatly Interested
during an earlier discussion with
Very Rev.. Monsignor Joseph Bru-
mi.
Mr.. Young then introduced
Msgr. Brpnini as the representa-
tive of the jackson MeMpaorial
Hospital. Msgr. Brunini empha-
sized the urgent need for inerea-
sed hospital facilities in Jackson
and its vicinity and said that all
important details of the new hos
pital had been discussed with DR..
d. V. Galloway, Executive Dir
ector of the Mississippi Coraznis-
sion on Hospital Care. Further
more, Msgr. Brunini stated all
plans have DR.. Ga4oways com
plete approval as they fit in per
tectly with the ComissiOnss state
wide program.
Msgr. Brunini went On to tell
how the Sisters of st. DOninie
had been asked by a group of
Jackson citizens to come here a
year and a half ago to assume
the management and operation of
the old Jackson 1nfirnary-which
then became known as st. Dom
mics Hospital. The same group,
of Jacksenians ASSUMED tie sisters
that as soon as possible Jackson
would undertake TO erect a mod
ern hospital building where they
could not only continue but Also
increase their merciful work. In
the brief time that they have been
here, the Sisters who are either
registered nurses or trained tech.
nicians, have proven their ability
as hospital administrators and
their desire to augment their SER
vices to Jackson.
''To accomplish this" Msgr. Bru-
mini continued. 1.-THE sisters will
contribute toward the new hospit-
al the same sum, up to 81 ,Oo0, 900
as that raised by any voluntary
contributions from citizens of JAG
kson and the surrounding area.
A third equal amount will come
from a grant of Federal funds.
Thus, Jackson can buy "a So, 100000
hospital, with the most expert
management, for $1,000, 900. This
8 for l bargain cannot be -ignor-
ed by a community in such great
need of more hospitals,

DEMOCRACY WORKS AT VA:
Local Veterans Agency
Employs 10 as Clerks,
Typists and Messengers

doing ordinary tasks and doing
them well. These people are mes
sengers, file clerks and typists. In
some offices they would meet with
hostility and haughtiness. In fact,
in many offices their talents would
not be welcome, and they would be
turned away from employment.
And yet, these are also ordinary
people who think, act, and talk the
same as you and l, people who
work quietly, diligently, and with
a determination to do we'll. Only
one thing distinguishes these peo-
pie from the majority-their color.
These are the Negro employees of
the Regional Office.
at is to the credit of these 10
employees that they have main
tanned high standards in represent
ing their race. 1t is more to the
credit of each of you who work
with them that racial harmony is
a fact and not problem here. To-
gether you have proved that dis
elimination against color is such
minor thing that it does not merit
recognition. You have recognized
the worthy qualities of an indi-
vidual as a basis for cooperation
and compatibility.
This is nothing more than
ordinary people making democracy
work. Let's continue to keep it
alive"
Mr.. Miller wrote a fine and en-
cOuraging editorial.

fee example is one which private
and public industry could emulate
with profit to the communities
where we live.

AMERICAN LEAGUE JOINS MARCH:

Negro Player; N. Y. Post
Writer Credits Robinson

The first hundred years are the
hardest, the old saw puts it. In
the matter of Negro ballplayers,
the first trial was the toughest.
Who knows but what in the not
too-distant future a majority of
the big-league teams may be able
to corral a Negro player of suffi-
eient ability. Right now Roy Cam
PAMELA, a Dodger farm hand at
Montreal, is rated the best catching
prospect in the minors. Hickey may
see fit to bring him up next season
as Bruce Edwards understudy.
Robinson Enriches N. L. Golfers
Other club owners may have Sc
cretly thought Hickey had gone
crazy suddenly when he put Robbie
in Dodger fannels. That Robbie's
gate-pulling power has enriched
the Golfers of all the N. L. mag
mates may have helped overcome
somewhat their disapproval Of his
presence. Now Week joins Hickey
in his liberalization movement.
Veeck is the sort Of an individual
who desn't give boot what other
elubowners think of his promotional
side-shows. He'll care even less
what they think of his giving Dolby
a chance to win A. L. ranking.
