Seen sitting at the press table
was the venerable DR.. r. s. Jen-
kins. who for s5 years was secre-
tary to the general conference.
He is the Oldest ordained minister

NEW ORLEANS = (ANP) =
Just which way the United States
will go on the controversial civil
rights issue is a dilemm facing
the nation today, according to
DR.. Gerald Capers, professor Of
history at Newcomb College, Tu-
lane University. In a recent ar
ticle entitled rThe Liberal South
erner's Point of View, appearing
in the New Leader, weekly pub
LEGATION devoted to social democ-
racy. the professor pointed out
that the nation face two courses
of action-either to give in to
Southern resistance to the bill or
back Northern views against
states rights and white suprem-
acy."
If the bill is passed. DR.. Capers
thinks that race relations in the
South. due to determined resist
ance by white citizens. would seri-
ously suffer. On the other hand,
he pointed out that Northern lib
erals regard states rights and
white supremacy as "shibboleths
kept alive by Southern demogogic
politicians"
cit is not so much a desire for
social justice as the international
situation that has brought the is
sue to the forefront at the mo-
ment. We have in the South an
unadulterated caste system by

Following The Color Line
U. S. DILEMMA: WHICH WAY ON CIVIL
RIGHTS ISSUE NORTH OR SOUTH

which the rights of millions OF
citizens are openly denied" he
asserted.
1.-THE situation is merely the
most aggravated instance of Am
erican denial of democracy. 1t
exposes us to the charge of hy-
pocrisy when we pirate of the
Four Freedoms; 1t defeats our
world propaganda campo ig n
against totalitarian Soviet Russia
to the same extent that 1t en-
hances theirs against us; and it
exposes us to the serious danger
that our 100000 Negroes may
become converts to Communism. !"
He stated that Northern liber-
ais are not sold on the idea that
progress of the Southern Negro is
possible only as 1t becomes &C
ceptable to Southern whites.
Civil rights are not a mere mat
ter of strategic consideration in
propaganda warfare, but of the
spiritual rehabilitation of democ-
racy.
The totalitarian threat and the
danger of an atomic war pose
the question of survival of our
nation and civilization. Either
we believe in democracy or we
don't and for the sake of our
souls We must end the hypocrisy
of the denial of civil rights by
force. if necessary. both in the
nation and the South"

rights, they not only undermine
the mental health of are agrees
sor and his victim, but become
a challenging social problem that
endangers our whole democratic
life."
Facts, information and appeals
to reason cannot overcome prejud-
ice by themselves, DR.. Schneider as
serted, but must be buttressed by
a courageous and concerted prog
ram of social action"
Education is extremely i'm
portant, particularly in removing
children from the atmosphere of
prejudice" DR.. Scheiber pointed
out, paying tribute to the advances
made in intercultural education.
Education also enables the VIC
Tins Of prejudice to meet the
problem in a wholesome spirit of
self-acceptance and self-esteem and
furnishes them with the weapons
to counter-attack the bigot. Legis-
lation to erase the shame of civil
rights violations is also of prima
importance, but must be supported
by a broad educational campaign"
DR.. Schneider advocated the
group discussion technique as a
major aid in the fight against
bigotry and prejudice. 1.-THE study
of mutual problems in small
group, reinforced by plans to work
together for solution, is a
healthy step forward on the road
to sound social results" he stated.
"It is one of the key measurs in
planning an about attack on the
social disease of prejudice which
is so destructive to our democ-
racy"

passage of the bill to remove all
bishops from the districts to
which they we're last assigned.
Prelate Fountain has been pre-
siding over Georgia for the past
20 years. However, the growing
sentiment to democratize the
church made 1t Imperative to
move all bishops.
Definitely championing tn e
cause of a free laity and free

of Mother Bethel Church in Buff

Noted introducing vital legisla-
ton regarding putting an end to
the innumerable assessments that
avaricious bishops level on their
districts was the Rt. Rev. ID.
Ward Nichols. This proved to be
one of the most popular issues
with the laymen and ministers of
the general conference.
We observed competently typ

We met the very affable Rev.

Home Rule Amendment
Information Service

Home Rule" ehaters for coun-
ties of the State of Washington
would be permitted under the
terms of Senate Joint Resolution
No. 5, second of the four proposed
constitutional amendments which.
will appear on the ballot at the.
General Election. November 2.
Secretary of State coe pointed out
this week.
Mr.. Coe Is releasing weekly bull
letins from his office in explana-
ton OF the various initiative and
amendments which will, or may,
appear on the ballot this fall, in
order that voters of the state will
have a chance more fully to I'M
derstad their provisios.
Sponsors of Senate Joint Resolu-
ton No. 5, the "Home Rule"
amendment. emphasize that at the
present time our state constitution
provide for the same set of cleo
tive officials irrespective of the
size of the county. Proponents of
fer the following reasons for adop-
ton of Home Rule:
1. Lack of Capitalization under
present system OF county govern
ment with each county officer con-
stituting a little kingdom of his
own and no one official managing
or being responsible for county af-
fairs.
2. The theory that legislative
officials should be elected and adj
ministrative officials appointed.
thus permitting democratic control
over the legislative or policy-mak-
ing branch with administrators
who make a career of public SER
vice.
8. Present controls of county
finance are weak. Whereas In
theory the county commissioner
approve the budget, elected county
officials do not necessarily abide
by this Limitation and often de-
mand and receive emergency APP
preparations.
Approval of this amendment by
the voters would allow counties
to consolidate and eliminate many
of the existing elected county
posts. proponents point out. Pos
sible forms of county government
could then include an appointive
county administrator, elected coun-
ty administrator or some type of
commission government, such as
is used by Is cities throughout the
state. where commissioners act in
both legislative and administra-
tive capacity.
Incidentally, 1t should be noted
that the positions of judge of the
superior court. justice of the peace
prosecuting attorney and county
superintendent of schools are ex-
cepted from the provisions of the
act.

PREJUDICE UNDERMINES MENTAL
HEALTH; DESTROYS DEMOCRATIC FABRIC


Prejudice not only menaces the
mental health of the biased per-
son and his victim, but corrodes
the entire framework Of democ-
racy, DR.. julius Schneider, direc-
tor of the National Institute of
Social Relations of Washington,
D. c., warned at luncheon
meeting of the New York Chap
ter of the American Jewish Com
mittee at the Hotel Martinique,
32nd Street and Broadway.
DR.. Schneider, a psychiatrist
who served as Chief of the Pro-
grams Section of the War De-
partment's Army Orientation
Branch during the war. with the
rank of lieutenant colonel, en-
phasized the Importance of work
on the community level to COM
bat prejudice. He particularly
recommended the group discus
sion method as forerunner to
constructive social action.
A seven-point program to curb
intolerance was outlined by DR..
Schneider. Research, education,
legislation action against rabble-
rousers, changes in community
patterns, joint participation of va
rious groups in discussions and
concerted action on social issues
are vital weapons in the fight
against prejudice" he declared.
