Robinson Called
Ball Player Of
Year" Look Maq.

Jackie Robinson is hailed as
ball player of the year" in the
issue of Look magazine released
today, which claims that Branch
Riekey's prediction that Robinson
would be "the most exciting, the
most daring player you ever saw"
is being amply fulfilled.
The Negro baseball star, who
was the first to break the major
league color line when he joined
the Brooklyn Dodgers several
years ago, has succeeded Joe Louis
as the idol OF his people, says
Look. "As box office attraction"
it asserts. Robinson rates with Joe
DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Ralph
Kiner, and Stan Musial.'
Declaring that his hitting and
fielding more than satisfy, Look
says 1t is the Negro players base
running that makes the crowd
roar. "Unquestionably,' it states,
"he ranks as the top base-stealer
Of his day.
Comparing him to baseballs
great Ty Cobb, Look points out
five things which the two players
have in common:
HE knows how to study the
movements and play upon the
weaknesses, mechanical and men
tai. of the other team. He has the
unerring instinct for the right
move. He has a quick start. He can
look behind him on the bases with
out losing speed. He is a clever
slider"
In summing up his success in
breaking the color line in the ma
tional sport, Look says: Most II
the players and public now &C.
cepts Robinson. A minority of UNI
educated and intolerant still resent
him as the one who did what they
thought never could happen.

mark.
Bankhead is the leading Montre,
al pitcher and was up with the
Dodgers during the tail-end of the
l947 season when he was hoisted
from the Memphis team of one
Negro American Leagues Memphis
team. Dan Bankhead finished the
season with the Dodgers but was
farmed out to st. Paul Of the A
meriean Association for l94S and
hiked to the Montreal team for the
current campaign. He is pitching
in sensational fashion.
The irony Of the reported deal
is that Jethroe and Jackie Robin
son were taken to the Boston Red
Sox for a TRY out" when that
team was managed by the alleged
brainy manager, Joe Cronis, and
after hitting EN- a few fungoes and
having them take a few cuts at
the ball, they were informed that
the Sox would "let them know
when to come back"
Further, the Sox could have had
$500 600 worth of merchandise for
free and they refused it!

Legend Of The
Doqwood Tree

At the time Of the cruicifixion
the dogwood tree attained the size
of the oak and other large trees
of the forest. So strong and firm
was the wood of the dogwood tree
that it was chosen for the cross.
To be thus used for such cruel
purposes greatly distressed the
dogwood tree, and JESUS when
nailed upon the cross sensed the
trees distress. In His pity for all
sorrow, JESUS said to the tree.
Because of your regret and pity
for my suffering | make you this
promise: Never again shall the
dogwood tree grow large enough
to be used as a cross Henceforth
it shall be slender, bent and twis-
ted. It's blossoms shall De in the
form of a cross long and 2 short
petals. In the center of the outer
edge of each petal there shall be
nail prints, brown with rust, and
stained with blood. In the center
of the flower there shall be crown
of thorns, and all who see it will
remember that it was upon the
dogWood tree that | was crucified.
This tree shall not be mutilated or
destroyed. but cherished and pro-
tccted as reminder of my agony
and death upon the cross.

The President Just recently de-

is more proud than anything else:
that he was elected without the In

restaurants, travel, and employ
ment, health facilities and ex-
tend equal opportunities to all
citizens, regardless of race, creed,
or national origin, is a move to
overthrow the government, We are
guilty, and may we add double
guilty,
If our protest against police
brutality, search and seizure with
out warrants and injustice in
courts constitute disloyalty we
are guilty,
We, therefore, feel that Civil
Rights program which has been
publicized and awaits an oppor-
tunity to be placed before Con-
gress includes all of the above con-
stitutional rights Of minority peo-
pie of the United States.
We further feel that now they
are belated and hindered by fill
busters and whatnot, and that
further delay will hinder the pro-
gress of civilization and impose
the condemnation Of God, there
fore it should have the immediate
consideration Of Congress, regard
less of party affiliations.
We, the National Baptist Con-
vention, Incorporated of the Unit
ed States, feel that the program
Of the gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ is tho program of God the
Father and is none other than the
program of Civil Rights as has
been publieized before the Nations
OF the United States of America.
We, therefore, commend the Presi
dent of the United States and all
Senators of any party of the Sen
ate and Congress who have sought
to present such legislation, and we
pray Gods blessing upon you that
YOU may continue to carry on UNI
til victory has been won.
We want you to know that the
National Baptist Convention rep
resent over million votes that
are behind your Civil Right pro-
gram and we shall use our in
fluence to support for office only
those who believe and pledge
themselves to stand up for the
Civil Right document now in your
hand
We urge the enactment Of the
following Civil Rights legislation:
|. Establishment by the govern
ment of an active aggressive cam
paign to defend and enforce civil
rights and liberties: housing. edu-
cation. enforcement of the aboll-
ton of discrimination in all
branches of the armed forces.
2. Establishment Of fair employ
ment practices
3. Abolition Of the poll tax as a
requirement for voting
Enactment Of a federal anti
lynchlng law
5. Elimination Of discrimination
within civic and professional
groups

nounce the activities OF the Ku
