Test of Refueling Technique.
Air Force officials said the non

was a perfect test for refueling
techniques, the worldwide radio
network of the air arm and its
worldwide weather forecasting
services. However, they said the
date was set arbitrarily without
any references to long-range fore
casts.

contact with the Strategic Air
Command at Omaha and with the
9th Air Force here.

which left Carswell Field Friday
had to land because of an engine
fire after flying several thousand
miles on the course.
Gen. Curtis E. LIE May, chief
of the Strategic Air Command
was asked at a press conference
if the flight means you can use
refueling to deliver an A bomb
anywhere in Russia"
The general replied: Lets say
any place that would require an
atom bomb"
The aircraft was in hourly con-
tact with bases overseas or with

that command headquarters in the

thods of judicial murder or sup

West has duly expressed its horror
on repugnance to the method,
without noticeabl lie effect. The re-
ligious wars, which disappeared
| within the framework of a West
ern society which has learned how
to separate church from state and
to create a political structure
within which all faiths could be
free to serve their convictions,
have returned upon US with the
appearance of an authorization

the world to see.

The Miss. Negro
And The Payment
OF Taxes

One thing that ought to be
Strengthened out in Mississippi so
that everybody can have the pro
per understanding, especially in
these times when there is at least
lip service being given to maKInk
the political concept OF separate
but equal work in the matter of
education, is the question of who
pays taxes.
1t will be noted that in editor
ials and Letters to the Editor"
as concerns the matter of NEGRO
education, the cannard is still be-
ing spread to the affect to give
Negroes of the state anything like
the schools and educational oppor-
tunity to which they are entitled
as an American Citizen in Il de-
mocracy, and as to citizens of
Mississippi, even under the sun
posed separate but equal statutes
would be a burden on the White
Tax payers of the state.
In the outset it ought to be
stated that taxes are based upon
the wealth of the state. With this
in mind somebody ought to point
out that the basis for the wealth
of Mississippi was created by the
labor of Negro slaves over more
than 200 years, exacted without
compensation.
With that basic and undisputa-
bic fact In mind, added to the
present fact that the tax struct-
ure of the state. aside from the
property tax, which the Negro
pays as the owners of consider
able property is based upon the
state sales taxes.
In estimating the amount of tax
es that Negroes pay in Mississippi
there needs only to be reached
and estimate of his earnings, be
cause the Negro spends practi-
cally all that he earns and ir
most respects can well be sai|
to be the largest payers of sale
taxes.
) Therefore in the matter of taxes
the Mississippi Negro is certainly
paying his proportinate share
and in asking for the benefit,
of citizenship he is not placing

4. Christ could sound the depths

Catholicism To Woo
Negro Membership

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - (ANP) -
The Roman Catholic church, strong
er today than it has ever been, has
now reached the place where it can
afford to concentrate on increasing
its Negro membership, according to
Harold e. Fey, managing editor of
the Christian Century. Writing in
the current issue of Message maya
zine, under the title Catholicism
and the Negro Mr.. Fey says:
For the past 80 years the popes
in Rome have cajoled and COM
manded the American hierarchy to
devote its energies to the CONVEX
sion of American Negroes. During
60 of these years the church was
occupied in trying to hold the mil
lions of Catholic immigrants to this
country but with that phase now
ended, work among Negroes seems
ready to begin in earnest"
He points out that the number of
priests giving full time to this work
is now over 500, $50 percent greater
than it was Is years ago. Religious
orders of men working among Ne
groes has increased from nine to %.
There are ~ orders of nuns assign
ed to this field, and more than
1000 nuns engaged exclusively in
colored missions "all sworn to
make Catholics of those to whom
they minister in schools, hospitals
and social welfare agencies"

Presbyterians
Approve Anti-Bias
Stand.

BUFFALSO, N. Y. - (ANP) -
Delegates attending the 161st gener-
al assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the u. S. here last Wed
nesday, voted to go on record
against racial segregation within its
ranks. The vote was not without
contest, however, as ministers and
elders of southern churches fought
against the change of policy.
Some of the church leaders viewed
the issue as major stumbling
block toward reunion Of the north
crn and southern groups of the
church. The two had split during
the Civil war, but made overtures
toward unification at the recent
meeting.

Z. Smart folks have always lived
even in Jesus day, who felt them
selves perfectly able to explain
Christianity away.
s. They would heap UP earthly
treasures and tell others to follow
suit, but even when some of them
were about to die they could feel
old Satan's boot.
9. Old Belshazzar he was smart
with his monopoly on wine, women
and song, but when he saw the hand
writing on the wall, he knew then
he was dead wrong.
10. Men and women of all time
have made this same mistake by al
lowing Satan with a song and
dance to carry them off as if in
trance.
II. There are none who can be too
boastful, surely, none who can be
too sure; if Satan can outw1t the
rich, he certainly will try to buy off
the poor.
~. So when he approaches you
with his imitation of majestic
splendor sparkling jewels, soothing
voice but bewitching and bold, tell
him there is nothing he could offer,
that Won would rather have Jesus
than silver or gold.
