House Begins Inquiry
Into u. 5. Outlay for
Synthetic Rubber
BY the A..oeiotsd Pres.

Congress will find out this week
how much it has cost to give the
country a synthetic rubber industry
and whether it is now a money
making proposition.
A House Armed Services Sub
committee, opening its second week
Of hearings on long-range rubber
legislation, plans to hear from the
Commerce Department, the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. and the
Army-Navy Munitions Board.
Chairman Shafer told reporters,
I'VE have heard the rubber manu-
featuring industry's recommends
tions. Now we will get the Govern
ment side"
approximately 100 Million Spent.
The Government got into the
synthetic rubber business in 194l.
During the war it spent approx
imately $700 100000 building plants
from Naugatuck, Conn, and Kobu-
ia, Pa, to Texas City. Tex, and Los
Angeles. BY the end OF the war
they were producing at a rate Of
100000 tons year, more than
enough to meet the Nations peace
time needs.
Now Congress has come to the
point where it must do something
about the temporary rubber legisla-
ton which expires March 81.
1t can: Sell out to private COM
panies, keep all the plants and run
them. or figure out a means for get
ting the industry into private hands
without endangering the life of an
infant that threatens the economic
future of several nations
Government Loss to Be Sought.
Still to be answered are these
questions:
How much money did the Gov
ernment lose selling synthetic rub
ber for 1872 cents during the war,
when the need for rubber compelled
it to use inefficient processes and
costly raw materials?
How much has the Government
lost on its original investment in
P4d1lto dACduy oOlQ!
How much of tax write-off has
been allowed to private firms which
spent their own money building
synthetic rubber plants during the
war? What kind of a write-off
would be necessary to get private
operators interested in buying or
leasing Government plants?
Mr.. Shafer hopes to have new
rubber legislation ready when Con-
gress starts its regular session in
January.

The Spirit That Is Christmas

As the civilized world continues in the throes Of constant
turmoil holidays such Christmas increasingly to
remove temporarily from the minds of man. the troubles
which beset him every side.
Today, the coming festival of Christmas religious sig
nihcance and ALL is much like escape from harsh
reality than before In the cooru crowded streets and
stores the millions of people who throng through them search
ing for tokens for family and friends have little time to read
the headlines which retail the ugly truth that there not
too much peace on earth.
The multitude of heart-warming Christmas cards which
reach our homes like blessing from Heaven-they help
us forget mans stupid inhumanity to man.
Joyful counenances of expectant children those whom
Santa is experience and those whose sophiscation
age has made them disbeevers in Kris Krnge-a await
Christmas
Families separated by the expanding world of train and
plane will at this tide reassembe with ones-often for
the last time but all with the worlds troubles overshadowed
by the Intangible but powerful spirit of Christmas
The most sour "ScroOge" seldom remain aoof from
the strangers Merry Christmas you" Even the domestic
animals the dogs the the horses and the cows seem to
sense the Christmas hour
Great men, humble men, rich and poor the blind and the
halt the little child and the aged all join in symphony of
goodwill not captured by any other holiday.
It's breathtaking-not even the blatant commerciasm
which is growing part the holiday dms the joy and thank
fitness which to peade the air breathe on Christ
mas Day
1t has been the oft spoken prayer and entreay of many
OF our sages that a humans try live act the spirit
OF Christmas during the other 1854 days of the year.
The wish has not borne fruit but like all prayers-t bears
repeating.
So let many of will try with all our being to prac
ce and live peace earth goodwill toward men, for now
hencefore and forever. Amen!

Durr Suggests African
MethOdists Change Name
To Include All Races

criminate in the house Of God and
looked upon the Negro as a sub
human being. He made bold his
claim for all time that he felt no
Inferiority.
In a blacksmith shop in the city
of "brotherly love-" he founded the
African Methodist Episcopal
church wherein whOsoever would
could commune together as broth
ers.
The only way to go forward is
by going forward. The time is
here for a re-incarnated Richard
Allen to come forth with a real
world vision. In Bishop D. Ward
Nichols, | think we have a leader
capable Of setting in motion a new
cycle in the Protestant Of Evan
gelical church, a crusade for open
ing the membership rolls and all
houses Of worship to all men every
where, regardless Of race, creed or
color.
Next year, the great A.M.E.
church will hold its General Con-
ference. That would be a pro-
pitious time for that body to drop
the word AFRICAN" from its name
and substitute an all-embracing
adjective and set in motion a world
wide campaign to bring men of all
races into an all-embracing church.
The day Of isolationism is past,
although the skeleton remains with
us. There is something very tragic
about a church in this changing
world which seeks and serves only
black or white members. The power
Of God ought to make it possible
for men to fellowship, serve to-
gether in an atmosphere devoid Of
race prejudice, and freed from
man-made laws, mores and unholy
traditions. II the power Of God
is incapable of making that pos
sible the cause of brotherhood and
justice is lost to mankind insofar
as Professionalism is concerned.
II Professionalism fails to meet
the challenge Of brotherhood in
principle and practice, this thing
we call democracy is doomed. 1t is
quite conceivable that a totalitarian
Catholicism or Communism might
well be its successor.
Come 1948 and the General Con-
ference of the A.M.E. church, my
eyes will be on Bishop Nichols. His
opportunity equals that of Richard
Allen. He is a Negro, and it is my
feeling that God expects more of
Negroes insofar as the Salvation
Of the world is concerned than Of
whites,

BY ROBERT DURR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A few
weeks ago, I attended the Convo-
cation services in the chapel Of
Fisk University. It was the con-
GLIDING service Of the three-day
seminars and formal Inauguration
Of DR.. Charles S. johnson as the
university's sixth and first colored
president in its illustrious eighty
six year history.
The speaker, DR.. Brownlee of the
American Missionary Association
emphasized that "A Man Is What
He Wants" 1t followed, Of course,
that il we can make men want the
higher things they will become the
right sort Of men, and, in turn, be-
come a builder Of the kind Of way
Of life the world stands so sorely
in need Of. That he termed the
function Of a university.
l have been very conscious Of the
fact that Protestantism's greatest
need today is for a will to survive
in hostile world, and for leader
ship which in itself will not cause
men to lose faith in themselves,
their fellowmen, their country and
their God.
Today the Protestant or Evan
gelical church is flanked on one
side by Catholicism, wherein races
have achieved spiritual brotherhood
and the followers have shown
themselves amenable to the doc
trine Of the brotherhood Of man
and the fatherhood Of God, and on
the other side by Communism.
Most recently, I was a guest Of
my good friend, Bishop d. Ward
Nichols Of the great A.M.E. Church
as he presided at the North Ala
bama Conference in Birmingham.
As he talked Of the importance of
the constituents looking upon them
selves as builders Of the Kingdom
Of God, I thought of the need for
leadership within that great church
which would dedicate itself to
broadening the basis Of fellowship
withdrawing the church all en-
bracive as far as all the people
Of the world are concerned.
Richard Allen withdrew from a
white domination Methodist church
because they did not want to take
communion with him on a basis of
equality before God. He knew
that breaking bread and feasting
together is the highest form Of
worship, and the Christ is not
present where this is forbidden on
the basis Of race. He thus did not
agree with those who would dis
