Congress Digest:
Anfi-Lynching
Measure Wins
Clerks Pruise

WASHINGTON II Attorney-Gen-
eral Tom Clark. supporting an
anti-lynching bill. said the time
has come for Congress to give
a governmental guarantee to the
freedom to live"
"The crime of lynching," he
said, 'is a blot on our national
life"
Clark gave his views in a state
ment made public by Chairman
Emanuel Cener, Democrat, New
York, of the House judiciary COM
mittee. Clark said a bill Celler
introduced is the kind needed to
give the Justice Department pow
er to deal properly with lynching.
1t is handicapped now. he said.
The encouragement said 1t is
essential that the government be
given authority to prosecute mem
bers OF a lynch mob, particularly
where no conspiracy with local
Officers is involved. The bulk of
lynch cases are of that type, he
said.
1t is ESSENTIAL. also, Clark said,
that the government not be
limited to cases where personos
are taken from law-enforcement
Officers.
Celler's bill would impose penal
ties Of as much as ten years in
jail and $4,000 fine in offenses
resulting in death, manning or
severe property damage.

work. He really loved his music,

"If we modernize these stat
utes." Wilson told the subcommit-
tee. 1--WE can make them effective
goth century tools for the protec-
ton of civil rights"
Speaking of anti segregation
laws. he said:
81 strongly recommend that this
legislative step be taken. Segrega-
tion is one of our nations greatest
social problems and 1t will not be
solved overnight.
But 1t seems appropriate that
in the channels of interstate COM
merce, the control of which has
been the express power and re-
sponsibility of the federal govern
ment for more than a century and
a half, racial segregation should
be outlawed without further de-
lay.

HIS WORD
By Archblshop w. D. G. JOHNSON

BY Archbishop w. ID. @. johnson
Behold the tabernacle OF God
is with men, and he, the Lord
Jesus will dwell with them. And
they shall be his Holy people and
God. Rev. 21:3. AS we know no
man shall see the Lord with holi-
ness from the rising of the sun
even unto the going down of the
same, my name shall be great,
said the Lord of host among the
Gentiles; and in every place in.
cense shall be offered unto my
name Jesus, and a pure offering:
for my name Jesus shall be great
among the heather. saith the
Lord Of Hosts Nal. I'LL. Come We
and let us walk in the light of the
Lord Jesus Christ and he will
teach us of his ways and we will
walk in his paths Ezra So then
rose UP Zerubbabel. the son of
Shealtiel and Joshua, the son of
Jozadak. and began to build the
house Of God which is Jerusalem.
Sechariah 3: And he showed me
Joshua the, High Priest standing
before the angel of the Lord and
Satan standing at his right hand
to resist Him. And the Lord
saith unto Satan, "The Lord re-
buke thee. Is this not the Lords
doing o Satan, even the Lord that
hath chosen Jerusalem, rebuke
thee. Is not this brand plucked
out of the fire?"
Now Joshua was clothed with
filthy garments and stood before
the angel and he answered and
spake unto those that stood be-
fore him saying, "Take away the
filthy garments from him and
unto him behold have caused
thine iniquity to pass from thee
and will clothe thee with change
of raiment and I said let them set
fair metre upon his head; and
clothed him with garments"
Glory be to God in the name of
the father, the son and the Holy
Ghost. Amen.
Write me at PIT West 125th
Street, New York City for my
prayers of healing.
