PrOtestants Told To
Equal Catholics

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. % -
Especially - Protestants who at
tended the third annual Confer
ence on the Church and Economic
Life, sponsored here under the aus
pieces of their churches, were urged
to get on an equal footing with
Roman Catholics in TIE field of
social action.
Leaders of several discussion
units said that their groups reach
ed almost unanimous agreement
that the Roman Catholic Church
had a "far better and more adj
vanced program" than any con-
ceived as yet by Protestants.
Summing VI the opinions of one
group, Bernard J. Huber, chairman
of the social education and action
committee of the Buffalo-Niagara
Presbytery, said:
"The influence of our Church is
too weak and should be strengthen
ed. We know how we'll the Catho-
lies have Jared as result of their
special studies and courses in the
field of labor. We believe that we
ought to adopt some measures that
would teach labor leadership to our
members"

challenge to real service. We expect

make the supreme sacrifice.
On Thursday, December Is sew
eral teachers in company with Prof.
Johnson went to New Orleans to
witness program honoring DR..
Ralph J. Bunche. This honor was
accorded in consideration of the
Mission performed by DR.. Bunche
as member of the United Nations
in solving the unsolvable problem
of bringing to peaceful terms the
Arabs and the Jews of Palestine.
This program was planned and
carried out by Xavier University,
and the following statement from
the sponsors should explain its pur-
pose:
Xavier feels that the name of
Ralph Johnson Bunche whose vi
sion of human needs exceeds mere
immediacy and expediency, whose
purpose in life is hewn to solid
principals, and whose services not
only to America but to all his fell
lowmen have been a light in the
darkness of this post war day"
'In recognition, therefore, of his
untiring conservation to these lofty
ideals and to the cause of peace, the
administrators of Xavier Univer-
sity consider it a privileged honor
to present The Francis Anthony
Drexal Award to Ralph Johnson
Bunche, PHI. D., LID"
By Way of accepting the award,
DR.. Bunche made response in words
worthy of the diplomat that he is.
Representing himself as an apostle
of peace, he emphaized the art
of human relations as one of the
most essential elements to this
end. 1t was, to say the least, a
great occasion.

The Tennessee Supreme Court

phis Censor Board. The States
highest tribunal ruled that deacon
Binford had no authority to ban
the motion picture "Curley" be-
cause of the presence of Negro
actors in the cast.
The decision puts an end to
Binford's censor powers that has
perplexed the movie industry for
many years. 1t writes fms to a
tWo-year court battle engineered
by United Artist and Hal Roach
who had the full support of the
Motion Picture Association, "chal-
longing Binford and the Censor's
powers" They argued that the
private act of Tennessee which
created Censor Board was I'M
constitutional, and that the board
had no legal authority to disap-
prove the picture because of the
presence of Negroes"
Binford, when interviewed fol-
lowing the decision, said: "We1l
just have to pass these pictures.
