half dollar which is paid above the

appeal carried through the press
in connection with Lincoln's birth
day. These peoples response was
in appreciation of what Lincoln
had done for an underprivileged

of these freed slaves who over
came obstacles without bitterness,
served mankind without thought
Of race or creed, and through
program Of unselfish service won
for himself the respect and ad-
nliration of the worlo.

down the racial barriers. Some
times, in her passionate de-
sire to work for her own peop-
le she can, unwittingly, raise
those barriers by making 9th

is requires sence of balance
and a tact which many out
standing Negro women pos
sess in a remarkable degree
and which all Negro women
are certainly able to develope
once they recognize them as
weapons OF their own struggle.

ing her height to bear on the
choice Of proper representa-

raising herself in political in
telligence to level equal to or
higher than that Of the more
priveledged members Of her
community.
1t is an uphill fight for Neg

expressions Of Fascism, which
must still be destroyed, are

At the oot of the hill to real

Help Celebrate His Birthday By Purchasing
BOOher Washington Memorial Half Dollars

Booker Washington Birthplace,
Va, April 8, 1948-More than go
years ago this month a Negro baby
was born to a slave mother on the
Old Burroughs Plantation in
Franklin County, Va. This infant
was destined to play such an i'm
portant part in the affairs of men
that his name was to be written in
the Hall of Fame among those of
Americas immortals.
This Negro baby was Booker T.
Washington. Because of his large
contributions to our American way
of life in the fields of Education,
of Health, of Industry, of Religion,
of Business, and of Interracial
Goodwill, the nation has time and
again paid tribute to his memory
Two of the most recent of these
tributes have been made in con-
nection with the movement to es-
tablish at his birthplace Service
Memorial" built in keeping with
the guiding principle Of his life
Helpfulness towards others.
These tributes were the coinage
Of 5 million Booker T. Washington
Memorial half dollars and the es-
tablishment of a post office known
as the Booker Washington Birth
place, Virginia, at the site of his
birth. In paying these tributes, the
10th Congress which authorized
the mintinv of the memorial half
dollars, and the Post Office De-.
partment were laying the founda-
tion for Americans of all races
and creeds to join hands to do
honor to a man who has directly
or indirectly contributed to the
success of millions of our lives

BROADCASTING S DAYS
A WEEK

New York City (CNS)-The
future of the Negro woman
is indissolubly linking with
trends affecting the nation and
the world. Her battle is the ba-
title engaged all people who
believe in progress and in equ-
al freedom.
True it is that her status in
America is not equal to that of
the white woman and her part,
therefore, cannot be played in
precisely the same term S.
There are handicaps imposed
on her which are beyond her
control and which millions OF
truly democratic whites have
struggled in vain to remove
from her path. Nevertheless, a
task lies ahead Of the egro wo-
man today in which the prob
lems peculiar to her own racial
group become merely one fac
Get of the vaster issues confron
tin the nation as a whole Like
all the women of the world,
regardless Of color or creed,
she must realize that until the
major issue is solved, the indi-
vidual facets cannot be effect
lively altered or improved.
The major issue is world sec
urity, without which there can
be no return to the ways Of
peace. In the age of atomic we
apons, security cannot be est
ablished by any device other
than trust and sincerity be-
tween the nations possessing
these weapons.
The road to International un-
derstanding is a long one.
Treaties between powers are
not shortcuts to it; they are
merely bridges which wash
out easily n a storm. A perman
ent road bed must be made of
closeness between the masses
of people, deep enough to over
come the vicious efforts of the
powerful interests seeking to
draw intire nations into their
struggle for supremacy. I'm
derstanding among peoples
comes only through education
on the one hand, and the pro-
per representation of people in
government on the other. In
other words, the school room
and the polling place are basic
factors of international secur-
ity, more permanent than pol
teal compromises known as
peace treaties, protected by an
international police force, VIII
, ich, at best, are emergency
measured, or palliatives, but
not cures for mankind's re-
current attacks Of the disease
of war.
However, the goals we seek
on the international plane, mu-
st first be achieved at home.
All Americans must become
aware of the fact that there is
such thing as being citizens
of the world. 1t must become

Russell Coppock, IS, Pacif-

coach, Thursday was freed by
Pottawattamie County Dis
trict Court jury after 5 hours
and Is minutes Of deliberation.
Mr.. Coppock returned to his
high school teaching duties on
Friday. He said 1T makes you
feel good. I'd like to take a
holiday now, but | feel I
should get back on my job"
The charge against him was
unlawful assembly. 1t grew out
Of his alleged attempts last fall
to interfere with Mayor John
J. Lutter's order that a Negro
itinerant should get out Of
town within an hour or go to
Jail"
A Mills County Justice OF
the Peace jury had found Mr..
Coppock guilty. He was fined
SIS and costs along with five
other persons facing the same
charge.
America on Trial
He appealed. They didn't He
was granted a charge Of venue
to Pottawattamie County Cou-
rt.
The jury Thursday came in
at 1908 pm. 1t was the wind
up to three days of arguments
touching on racial prejudice,
civil liberties and limitations
of the legal duties of public ser
wants.
Paul James of Des Moines.
Mr.. Coppock's attorney, said
in his closing argument: "Mr.
Coppock is not on trial here. 1t
is America"
Mr.. James said that 81 have
never heard of a man being in
dicted for being a good Samari
tan" He said the Mayor. the
complaining witness, had his
own conduct on four counts:
L. Ordering the man out Of
town within an hour or go to
Jail.
2. Making an arrest without
a warTent.
g. Failing to perform his du-
ty in dispensing what, he (may-
or Lutter) claimed, was a tum-
ultOus assembly.
Mayor Lutter is a retired
Navy chief petty officer with
80 years service. He had test
flied earlier that he was afraid
he would be torn apart" when
he was confronted by Mr.. Cop
pock at the home and office of
Justice of the Peace, Lola Bo-
quette.
Mr.. James indicated William
Drake, Mills County Attorney
and States Council, and said:
"It's the duty of the County
Attorney to remove the Mayor
for illegal acts. Instead, he's
here defending him."
Will Resume Teaching
In his closing rebuttal, Mr..
Drake termed Mr.. James's ar
gu ments as "four-fifths petit
foggery."
He lashed Mr.. James for at
tempting to put Mayor Lutter
and Mr.. Twitty on trial.
l don't deny Mr.. Coppock's
noble purpose" he said. But,
he's a school teacher and he
should be among the first to
uphold judicial process and
not try to uphold judicial pro-
cess and not try to conduct a
kangaroo court.

focus for the main course and, of
course, gayly colored Easter eggs
are the classic symbol Of the spring
festival day. So use piles of hard
boiled eggs, dyed bright green and
yellow to make an attractive holi-
day garnish for your holiday ham,
(and plan to use the eggs for a
supper dish later on). For a new
Idea in fiavoring the Easter ham,
you might take your cue from
Poland and cook the ham with beer.
This traditional favorite with Polish
cooks has piquant malt flavor that
will give the family a new taste
thrill; and as in all meat cookery,
the beer will have a tenderizing
effect on the ham. When cooking
with beer, allow container to stand
open for about Is minutes before
adding to other ingredients.
Co-star this savory treat with
sweet potatoes, Polish style, and for
a handsome dessert in the Easter
tradition scoop out halves Of pine
apple shells and fill with pistachio
ice cream. Cookies cut in rabbit
shapes are an Easter treat; use a
cardboard cut out, if you lack rabbit
cookie cutter, and a sharp knife.
