American committee in its

this week that if the Thomas

day the Bible may be revised.
The Ten Commandments may
reappear, he said, in this al

lformer Bodyguard
l0f Presidents Gives
lFirsf Sermon Here

~ A former member Of the Presi-
dents White House bodyguard re-
turned to his home church last night
to tell the congregation why he
left the Secret Service to enter the
ministry.
He was Walter A. Haman, one
of the personal bodyguards for
President Roosevelt and President
Truman. The former Secret Serv-
ice man preached his first Wash
ington sermon yesterday at the Ma
tional Tabernacle, 644o Piney
Branch road NV. Mr.. Haman
/ has been a member of the Taber-
J nacle since 1910.
He related to the more than 400
friends and church members how
the conviction to serve Christ by
/. bringing His message and that of
the Bible to those who needed it
came to him one day. The decision
was fortified by his experience, as
. a Pennsylvania State trooper, deal
ing with criminals.
Shows Travel Pictures.
"I became convinced after deal
ing with these hardened criminals
. that the solution to juvenile de-
linquency and crime in general could
only be achieved through the gos-
pei" Mr. Haman said This means
bringing the message to the youth
to prevent their making the first
nisstep that leads to a life of
crime"
The former Secret Service man,
known by friends as "Washington's
Ambassador for Christ" prefaced
his inspirational address by show
ing photographs of the trips he
took as a presidential bodyguard
They included missions to Cairo,
Teheran, Yalta and San Francisco,
and also campaign trip visits to
New York and Philadelphia.
Before each trip with President
Roosevelt or President Truman, II
prayer nothing would happen SO
we could do our Job of bringing the
Nations Chief Executive back to
the White House without harm,'I
MIR. Haman said. He added, my
prayers were answered, thank God"
Truman Extended Best Wishes.
When Mr.. Truman learned the
former Pennsylvania State trooper
was full-time preacher, he called
the latter in to the executive Office
and wished him good luck.
Mr.. Haman, who came to Wash
ington in 1910, went to the Colum-
bia Bible School at Ashville. N. C.,
last summer and took additional
training at Kings College, New
Castle, Del, during the fall semes-
ter there. A native of Philadelphia,
he worked with his father in the

THE RACIAL BIAS REPORT

Let's face i'll Racial discrimination does thrive in this
free country of The Disseminated against know it.
The persons who discriminate know it. And countless mil
lions of Americans who in between who practice
democracy truly human beings with their loves and
hates and shortcomings practice it, also know what is
happening,
Foreigners must deem it curious that President TrG-
mans committee representing democratic government
has been forced protest against abrdgemens of civic
rights in this supposedly enlightened age.
How, the educated, civilized foreigner might ask
can anyone counenance the savage injustice of ynchng
and how any American be against outlawing such
barbarism? How, democracy, any free be de-
prved of citizenship through poll tax laws? Why should
MT man have right to get the employment for which
he is qualified and for which there is opening?
Safety and security Of the person. the right to citizen
ship and its privileges the right freedom of conscience
and expression equality of opportunity these essen
tal rights recommended by the Presidents committee
But those essential rights promised under our
constitution and under the founders conception of Amer
government If have not achieved them through
educato nand humane behavior these past II decades
must try to attain them through force imposed
upon large groups of our citizens?
These queries disturbing ones For democracy does
not depend upon oratorcal niceties hghsoundng pro-
nunciamentoes and imposing documents 1t depends upon
the everyday practise of democracy.
Until we have that everyday practise of democracy
we cannot call this democratic republic For apses from
this practise based upon hatred jealousy and fear de-
feat the high purpose of those who tried to make great
And they make up look dangerously small in the eyes of
the outside world.-Boston Traveller

firms of 125th Street, Harlem,
began to listen, Cor back of this
stormy petrol they knew were
thousands of potential custom
ers who never again would trade
in their stores until they had
the open Door policy in the en-
ployment Of colored help. Just
Think Hardly more than ten
years ago, one could go in and
out of the Harlem stores and see
only an occasional ebony-skin.
On the buses and subways none
except porters. To ride in New
York today is to be served by
a large number Of tawny hands.
Adam Powell was not the whole
thing, but the spearhead of a
movement that makes New York
City the best world market for
our brain and Drawn.
In other words this resolute
young man showed that the ears
of the Money Kingdom will lis
ten to a f1recracker that goes
off, when they know it is light
ed by one who has the backing
of his race. Adam Powell has
enjoyed the backing of his race
because he has stood shoulder
to shoulder with the common
people. He has never high
hated them because he was
fair, or born with a silver spoon
in his mouth, or heir to a great
lucrative position. In other
words he humbled himself. He
has been well rewarded by the
people rallying behind him and
making him a national figure
with a national sounding board
for all our economic woes. Who
among Boston's leaders will dare
be a voice crying in the wilder
ness?
