Holding Carter Tells Meridian Church
Group World SkepticaI Of Democracy
That Denies Negro Right To Vote
Says Democracy Will Not Be Judge By
Idle Words But In Actual Home Deeds

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 20 (DNS)
Holding Carter, brilliant Edi-
tor of the Greeneville, Mississippi
Delta Demovrat Times, former
Nieman Fellow at Harvard Uni
versity, AMI recent Pulitzer prize
winner, in speech here last Mon
dya night told the mems Club Of
st. PauTs church that the world
is skeptical of democracy which
outlaws the Negro right to vote,
and criticized the Mississippi DEM
ocratic party for setting up par
ty rules which in effect deny the
Negro due vote in polictics.
In an outline of alternatives
for Americans, Editor Carter
challenged prejudice of race and
creed and national origins; aga
inst suhersive elements and big
otry and littleness; for personal
freedom and human dignity; for
freedom of belief, speech, for free
dom of press and assefbly and the
Bill of Rights.
Confessing nOon-conformist
attitude toward the modern ills,
the Editor named his subversive
affiliations as membership in Ro-
tary, in the Greeneville st. James
Church, the National Association
of Editors, and other groups, and
blasting intolerance OF every kind
in every way with emphasis of re
verence declared, eff Jesus Christ
in disguise should walk down the
average Mississippi street and
preach the gospel fthe man Of
Galilee someone would report HON
to the police as dangerous char
acter and JohnRankin (Mississip-
pi Congressman would call for
an investigation by the unameri-
can activities committee in Wash
ington."
In speakingof world conditions
and with an eye to American for
eign policy as respects to atom
bomb, the speaker said that we
have the atom bomb. Russia has
MT answered the blast first idea
by pointing out that in Christian
America aggression is unthink-
able. Asserting that isolationism
means the eventual self destruc-
ton of Democracy he said that re-
Mobilization under the Marshall
Plan, or some other puan to help
all democratic peoples help them
selves is our most compelling ar
gument in the present global war
of minds.
The world, he said will choose
between two Numerically oppos-
ed PHILOSOPHERS of life; either to-
talitarian or Democratic self rule,
either the communistric anti
Christ or the western Christian
way, supremacy Of Individual or
slave mastery Of the state.
Pleading for food shelter, clo-
thing, security and peace for suf-
ferers, for tolerant equality to-
wards the three-fourths of world
population, whose skin is not as
white as that of the average AM
erican, he said, in this clash of
minds, men must and will judke
our Democracy, not by idle words
but in actual home deeds.
At the conclusion of his speech
guests as well as members con-
graduated the Editor upon his
straight forward presentation of
world issues as well as his liberal
attitude regarding issues Of this
section OF the state.

Cancer in Youth Is Difficult
10 Treat, Dr.. Spencer Says

Cancer is more difficult to treat
in younger persons than in people Of
middle or old age, probably because
the younger cells are more vigorous
even when they are diseased, DR.. r.
r. Spencer, director of the National
Cancer Institute, said yesterday.
He said people who are overweight
and those with fair skins are more
apt to get the disease than others.
To those with fair compilations his
advice is don't get sunburned
chronically over period of Is years
or SO"
More sailors get skin cancer than
persons in other lines of work, DR..
Spencer told the public health
nurses at a meeting In the National
Archives auditorium.
He is confident a cure for cancer
will be found, but predicts it will
not be work of one individual, but
rather of group He also believes
that what cures one type of cancer
probably will not cure another type.

NEW SHIP SER VICE
 APRIL 1

WASHINGTON. March 4.-lRl-- The Maritime Commission notified Rep. Jackson (D-Wash) today it plan..ed to inaugurate the new privately operated steamship ser vice to Alaska April 1.
 The House late yesterday agreed to Senate amendments and sent to the House legislation author izing the commission to inaugurate the service by contracting with private operators.
 Under the legislation the com mission will charter government vessels to the owners at nominal rates. the owners will stand all losses and the government will get 75 per cent of all profits, if any, above ten percent.
 Jackson said when the service is inaugurated it will mean an in crease in rates. The private own CTS estimated they would be about 35 percent, but Delegate Bartlett said they would amount to much more.
 The commission will set the rates before the service starts.
 The plan will operate for It months during which Congress will try to work out a solution of the Alaska shipping problem.

BUTTER PRICES UP
 AGAIN IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, March 4.@R-Butter prices scared one to two cents a pound here again this morning, on top of yesterdays similar rise, for an aggregate climb of eight to nine cents a pound the past 10 days. Eggs were steady and firm after yesterdays one cent advance.
 Bids of cent or more above the listed prices have consistently failed to uncover new supplies from producers for more than a week.
 Prices to bulk butter producers today were: A grade, Tic; A grade, TIC; B grade 75c; c grade, 73c a pound.
 Retailers paid jobbers 8lc for A grade prints; 80-8lc for A grade, 79c for B grade and 78c for c grade.
 Current supplies were ample to meet the slow consumer demand at resultant retail quotations.
