Congressman William |. Dawson Calls
Upon Nations Churches TO Rededicate
Themselves To The Achievement OF
True Democracy For All Americans
Ministers Urged 70 Set Aside A Sunday
AS National Truman Civil Rights Day

New YORK - congressman VIII
liam L. Dawson, Chairman of the
National Citizens Committee for
the Reelection of President Tru-
man, this week called upon
church-goers throughout the Ma
ton to rededicate themselves to
the achievement of true demo-
cracy for all Americans.
The Congressman appealed to
ministers of all faiths to set
aside one Sunday during the per"
iod September 1926 as National
Truman Civil Rights Day. He urg-
ed them to impress upon their
congregation the individual re-
sponsibility of every person for
supporting the Presidents Civil
Rights Program which he termed
"the essence of democracy and the
key to world peace.
Freedom, peace and security
are within our reach at this
time" Congressman Dawson said.
He reminded, however, that his
torically, freedom has been bought
with sacrifice - often with blood,
sweat and tears. He urged church
congregations to rally financially
behind the National Citizens Com
mittee in their efforts to re-elect
Mr.. Truman whom he said has
demonstrated the highest degree
of craftsmanship in pressing for
a new birth of freedom in Ameri-
ca.
Truman has won the support
of all Americans who are true be-
levers in the brotherhood of man"
Dawson said. TN his determined
stand for civil rights, he has
shown a courage and deep con-
viction unmatched by any of his
predecessors in the White House.
We must match his deeds with our
dollars. We must re-elect this
true disciple of American demo-
cracy."
= Congressman Dawson paid high
tribute to the ministers of the
alton for their labors on the
civil rights battle line. He said:
Many have toiled in the heat of
day, often unheralded and seldom
appreciated to establish the true
brotherhood of man throughout
tie length and breadth of our
country 1 kno what each min
lister has been greatly strengthen
ed in his efforts through the
knowledge that they have had
behind them a strong ally in Pre-
sident Truman"
Reports coming into the Nation
al Citizens Committee headquar-
ters at the Biltmore Hotel indi-
cate that numerous communiti-
es are moving full speed ahead on
their Truman Civil Rights Day
plans.

tee, headed by Frank Stanley,
