Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1947-07-11

The closing session Of the 3Sth
annual conference Of the National
Association for the Advancement Of
ColOrsd People was appropriate In
every respect. The program was
sminently good. The speeches Of
Senator Wayne Morse, Republican,
Of Oregon, and Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt, United States representative
on the United Nations Commits
sion on Human Rights, fitted tbs
occasion nicely. And President
Truman's emphasis upon civil
rights in his fortnight Spcseh was
all that was needed TO climax q
great occasion.
II would DO pleasant To say that
ths other public programs Of the
association were as good as the
program at the Lincoln Memorial.
Unfortunately that cannot be said.
This other programs were ordinary.
As u matter Of fact there seemed
70 have been no specific subject
embraced In any Of them except this
ths Ons on which Percy Julian was
presented this SpinRarn medal and
the last one In which civil rights
was the keynote.
Washington abounda with
many persons competent 10 en-.
tighten any audience on current
problems. Hut the speakers ON
the evening public programs
seemed To have been selected at
random and . program arranged
around them.
For instance! On the first eve
ming DIR. Louis T. Wright, eminent
New York surgeon and chairman Of
the Board Of Directors Of the
NAACP, delivered thu report Of the
board for the past year. DIR. Wright
reasserted the associations tradi-
tional policy Of non craftsmanship in
politics. But no sooner had Roy
Wilkins, assistant secretary Of the
NAACP, completed announcements,
and the Rev. Stephen g. Spots
wood, who presided, had introduced
Leon Henderson, chairman Of the
executive committee Of Americans
for Democratic Action, than was
Mr.. Henderson making a political
speech.
In the other two evening mass
meetings the same order Of
things prevailed. On the next
night Representative Helen Ca
hagan Douglas. Democrat. Of
California. made q political
speech, In which she arrived at
this fRllAey from over aimpliaea.
tlOR Of u political proposition;
For many long years, we have
heard that II was impossible to pass
antipoll tax legislation, FEPC leg
islation and Rnti-lynching lsgisla-
ton In Congress because Of the
Southern Democrats. Well. now we
have u Republican Senate and n
Republican House. This excuse,
never valid, is now stripped Of It's
miserable trRpplngS."

Murray. president Of the Congress

THE Fifth Earl Of Hardwood,

"A country where the fascist
doctrine Of white supremacy is as
serted with a new fervor and bold
ness, where a member Of the high
est Legislative body in the world
can defy the mandate Of the su-
preme court, the constitution and
democratic decency by urging even
the use Of force to prevent citizens
from voting, Is hardly ready to
convince the world Of its moral
preparedness for world leadership.
II democracy is to justify the
bloodshed and suffering that have
made its survival possible, the dem
Ocratic countries must better pre-
pare themselves for leadership and
for the full discharge Of the respon-
sibilities placed upon them in this
atomic era" ,. Albert l.. Turner,
