Not unlike the average American citizen my fervent
hope is that nation will remain at peace with the
world But faced with the dark clouds of reality that
speak of another ttontc struggle find myself ponder
ing these questions If should come would oil
Americans regardless of religious beliefs, be call

the tnswes to these questions yes then it is my
conclusion thot in these days wearing the appearance
of peace, All Americans everywhere should shoulder an
equal responsibility of the problems, and share in

Church Federation
Move To End Race
Segregation
SOME 800 CHURCHES
INCLUDED In GROUP

st. Louis The Metropolitan
Church Federation of ST. Louis
will request approximately 300
member churches in st. Louis and
st. Louis county to end racial
segregation in religious institut-
ion, service and activities, it was
announced last Saturday.
A letter, signed by the presi-
dent of the federation, the Rev.
Eryine Inglis of First Congrega-
tional Church, and the Rev. Clark
Walker Cummings, executive Sec
rotary, was mailed to Protest
ant ministers last Monday, inform
ing them of the new policy.
The letter says THE Execu-
tive Board of the Metropolitan
Church Federation fist. Louis, in
meeting assembled on Friday, Oct
ober 81, 1947, voted unanimously
to ask the churches of metropol-
itan st. Louis to cease the prac-
tive of segregation in the local
churches and church institutions
that is, to open their doors to
fellowship, membership and SER
vice regardless Trace or color
Whether the letter will be read
tn congregations assembled for
regular devotional services or to
the official governing bodies of
local churches will be at the dis
erection of each minister, the Rev.
Cummings said.
THE federation mas no real
authority, so this is merely q
request" he said. "This is not
an arbitrary nor outocretic COM
mand. Compliance will be purely
voluntary, but the member CHI
urches have developed in inter-
racial attitudes remarkably"
The request to end segregation
resulted from a meeting in Oct
ODER of the civil rights commit
tee of the organizations Inter
racial Commission, with is headed
by tn eRev. J. Francis SAINT, pas
tor of st. Michael and st. George
Episcopal Church. At that meet
ing, the Rev. Charles C. Wilson,

Chicago Judge
UphoIds Restric-
tive Covenant

CHICAGO, Dec. - (NNPA. -
Judge Robert E. Grove Of Su-
perior Court last Friday upheld
a restrictive covenant barring
colored persons from occupying
a South Side hotel but at the
sametime declared that such COW
enants are "repugnant to the
Declaration of independence, the
Constitutional the real
American concept of liberty"
In rlying on precedent set by
another Judge earlier in the same
case, Judge Crowo, in his opin-
For our court to now hold
ion, said:
that a covenant may be entered
into by owners of property which
would deprive any citizen of his
right to build a home and live in
any portion of ur city, and re-
strict him by such covenant to
homes in the slums, along rail-
road tracks or in factory districts
because of his religion or Color,
to me is repugnant to the Declar-
alton of independence, the Con.
stftution of the United States, and
the real American concept of lib.
erty as understood by us.
ITO adopt the other view a:
settled public policy of this coun
try would damn us as the mos
hypocritical nation in the world
The order will force twenty-five
colored persons to vacate the no
tel in thirty-days. Howevere, thu

said he would appeal the case tt

Captain Flaeg. The winner will
receive first prize of $75,950, with
second place being worth $4,000
Third place carries $4,000 and even
the last of the four to finish will
earn $1,000.
Phalanx, the Nations leading
3-year- old, probably will go to the
post the favorite, based on victories
in the Belmont, Dwyer and Empire
Stakes and the first division of the
Wood Memorial, along with second
place in the Kentucky Derby and
