President of NAACP
Addresses Meeting

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
celebrated its 40 anniversary of the
National and the 20 anniversary of
the Local on last Friday night at
the First Colored Baptist Church.
Rev. L. B. Nelson the president ad-
dressing the audience, told his
listeners, "I see the dawning of a
new day-full citizenship is coming
to the Negro, but it shall never
come in the manner in which thous-
ands are expecting"
Rev. Nelson contends that the
political and economic pressure is
going to force the southern op-
pressors to change their methods
of handling Negroes in the South.
He added also, if absolute free
dom is ever to come to the black
man, it must have its beginning in
the South.
The president in his outburst of
oratory stated the bars of discrimi-
nation are being lifted-one by one.
To prove this is true, he said, the
University of Arkansas has per-
mitted Negro student, into the
m dical dept; the Theological
Seminary of Louisville, Kentucky
has done likewise. These are just
a few signs of the dawn he added.
AS the speaker neared his con-
clusion he exclaimed, "the question
that comes to me is, will the aver
age Negro be ready when dreams
become reality?"

Visitors at Party

Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Schoeny of

Tucson) gave a weekend party
honoring Mrs. Hide Walker and
her four-year-old daughter, Gesine
of Stuttgart, Germany.

Mrs. Walker spoke of an event.
full trip from Hamburg to New
York, with some $50 other Ger
man passengers coming to America
to join their relatives. After visit
ing Bahai friends in New York,
veland, and Chicago, Mrs.
Walker came to Phoenix to be with
her sister, Mrs. John c. Eichenauer
III, who was one of the first groups
of German war brides arriving here
in 1947. Mrs. Walker recalled that
John Eichenauer was the first
American Baha'i to contact the
German Baha'is in 1945, at the end
of the war. During the Nazi regime,
Baha'is in Germany were not al
lowed to carry on their activities,
and all their literature was con-
fiScated.
Speaking of present conditions in
Germany, Mrs. Walker said things
were improving now that everyone
is getting used to the money re-
form. More goods can be purchased,
but everthingy is much more ex-
pensive. Mrs. Walker likes Phoe-
nix very much, for she found the
larger eastern cities somewhat
hectic.
