The matter was first considered
by the committee of the division
of educational institutions. There
the resolution as finally passed
was sponsored by President Daniel
L. Marsh of Boston university,
Chancellor Herbert J. Burgstahler
of Ohio Wesleyan university; Bis
hop Robert N. Brooks of New Or
leans and President David D.
Jones of Bennett college, Green's
boro, N. C. The resolution read:
"In view of the long historical
connection between the Methodist
church and Meharry college in its
foundings and continuing support
we do not look with favor on Me-
harry college changing its status
from a private institution to that
of a public institution, regional
or otherwise"
Meharry college was originally
a Methodist school. In later years
and particularly after the General
Education board came to the sup
port of the institution helping it
to raise it's endowment to $5,0OO,-
900, it was no longer within
church control.
DR.. Matthew S. Davage of Nash
vile, a trustee of Meharry and
secretary of the division of educa-
tional institutions for Negroes,
presented the viewpoint of the
trustees of the school. He pointed
out that the institution, which is

knowing, for legal procedures are,
or can be easily made to be far
above the comprehension Of the
layman. Shysters prey on lower in
come people as a rule, for it is
much easier to pull the wool over
their eyes in legal matters than it
is over people with less troubles
and worries.
Strangely enough Negroes flock
to white lawyers despite this and
despite the presence of competent
Negro attorneys. In addition to

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
OFFICERS

The Federated Council of Or
CARNATIONS met Sunday afternoon
at the YMCA and presented and
discussed a program of action de-
signed to mobilize the resources Of
the various organizations and in
dividauls working for first-class
citizenship of the Negro people.
This is the organization which
has been referred to in these
pages as the Independent Citizens
Action committee. Because of the
nature of the group, the inclusion
Of organizations, it was decided to
adopt the above name, Federated
Council.
Arnold Braithwaite was elected
temporary president, and Mrs. Cor
tez (Elaine) Wilkerson, temper
airy secretary.
Representatives displayed much
interest in the program and are
expected to "sell" the program to
their organizations. 1t is expected
that the most militant program of
action ever to come out of Dayton
will desult from the work of this
organization. But it will require
the laying aside Of all petty diff
ferences; it will require the
threshing out Of partisan differ
ences and arriving at concrete po-
%litical policies. This latter should
be donew ithout necessitating any
one from giving up their party
affiliations (unless, Of course,
they r pressured from above.)
The group is working closely
on the mass meeting this Sunday
at 8 p. M, at the Bethel Baptist
church. Attorney A. T. Walden,
attorney from Atlanta in charge
Of the Ingram case, will be the
principal speaker.

DON'T BE VICTIMIZED
In LEGAL MATTERS

Dayton lawyers have been rid
ing the gravy train for quite long
enough. Through a peculiar form
Of exploitation many white law
yers have acquired extensive prop
erty and exorbitant fees for the
services they have rendered Ne
groes. Meanwhile, Negro lawyers,
particularly the younger ones,
have been hard put to make as
decent a living as they should.
This fleeing of Negroes by
white lawyers has assumed many
devious forms. One notorious prac-
tice is to get possession of mort
cages by assuming obligations such
as an alimony or debt obligation,

up until a canvass of the House
membership has been made, ac-
cording to report of decisions
taken by the House Republican
Policy Committee.
Fl 7 Res. 342 passed the House
IL j. this week. This measure
would give Congressional Com.
mittees access to information
deemed necessary in the perform
ance of their duties which is in
the hands of the executive depart
ments. Again this highlighted the
never ending battle or adjustment
and readjustment Of power be-
tween the Executive and Legislat-
i've Branches.
The Honorable Louis E. Gra-
ham of Pennsylvania took lead
ing part in presenting the case
for the bill in a masterly fashion
to a very attentive House. He
went back to the 1770's when the
55 men gathered in Philadelphia,
and traced our development down
to the present day-a situation
where there are 1,141 bureaus
and departments in our govern
ment with an expanding bureauc-
racy of over 1000, 900 people," He
cited these facts in an effort to
show that our government and 50.
ciety is quite different from what
our Founders envisioned and that
Congress, if it is to perform its
function properly and efficiently,
must have the benefit of this Leg
islation.
The Honorable James Wads.
worth of New York emphasized
that the measure was not hastily
concocted to meet the Condor
case, but had been carefully stud
led over a period of several years.
He urged that 1--WE have reached
the point $50 when we must move
in the direction of more efficient
legislation and if we are to sue
ceed in such q move we must have
more information. That is the pur-
pose Of the pending resolution"
