MORNING COMES
Out of the blaclxness of the night
MORNING COMES:

- VI
MORNING COMES;
When everything in this wide
world seems wrong,
MORNING COMES, hearts tighten,
faith survives.
Out of the blackness of the night,
MORNING COMES;
Heavy the burdens of pain, hate,
sorrow and strife,
Far, far does the goal seem; sad,
hopeless the task,
Gaze West and there find strength
for this life.
Out of the blackness of the night,
MORNING COMES;
Pale lilies blow where brave dead
men bled,
But children starve, freeze; the
world is immoral,
The church fail, it's said.
Out of the blackness of the night,
MORNING COMES;
All i'll and woe. are of man and
face them we must;
Loving service for others will
Keep right the wrong.
MORNING COMES, a new day
dawns,
IN GOD PUT TRUST.

FEPC Against Mundt-
Nixon ferguson Bill

The statement of the Negro
leaders pointed out that while
civil liberties were being destroyed
by such legislation as the Mundt-
Nixon bill, measures which would
advance civil rights, like FECP,
were being knitted in the back
The statement declared:
1T is disgraceful commentary
on our American way of life, which
we so blatantly declare before the
world to be the only way to guar
antee security and individual free
dom for peoples, that we are paw
ing the way for plotting out all
right even to protest and demand
civil rights, with the proposals
contained in the Mundt- Nixon bill.
This bill aims to control po-
litical thought and establish a new
basis of Americanism contrary to
the Bill of Rights and the Consti-
tuition.
1T is our firm conviction that
no hysterical fulminations of a
Senator Mccarthy should be per-
mited to blind us to the fact that
while all the smoke of red scares
is choking our democratic beliefs
the civil rights program, particu-
larly the FEPG bill, is quietly
stabbed in the back"

CHICAGO-(ANP South Car
olina's fighting Judge ]. Waties
Waring was treated like poison
ivy by Chicago's 101 judges here
last week.
Every judge residing in Cook
County was given a special invita-
ton to attend a luncheon honoring
the man who banned the all-white
primary in South Carolina. Not
single one showed up. Among
the absent were the city's two
Negro municipal court judges.
Judge Waring took the snub
good-naturedly. "It's much worse
back home" he chuckled. mot a
single white neighbor, including
relatives, or fellow judge, has WIS.,

the all-white primary was banned"

However, the cold shoulder treat

group. Atty. Jones said a few
judges had written mice letters"
explaining why they couldn't make
the luncheon, but he couldn't ex-
plain for the rest. "All know is
they were invited, and the affair
was given in a downtown hotel,
which should have made it con-

NEW YORK, N. Y, April =
Arriving this week in New York
from a Mid-Western trip, where
he has given several addresses on
civil rights and the Negro, A.
Philip Randolph, at International
headquarters of the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Reporters, stated
that, 1.-The National Council for a
permanent FECP and cooperating
organizations are set to crack
down on the Mcconnell brand of
FECP legislation, which is a
colossal hoax, being without any
power to enforce the principle of
fair employment practice"
Deploring the manner in which
FECP legislation is being kicked
around like a football for the
political interest of Democrats and
Republicans, alike, Mr.. Randolph
asserted that, 'minorities, and es-
pecially the Negro who is the first
victim of job discrimination, must
stand upon their feet and fight fol-
an FEPC that can bite with teeth
in manner which biased indus
rial bosses will respect"
THE Mcconnell BILL" he con-
tinued, "does not even have the
virtue of a traffic law which by
virtue of penalties inflicted fol
violation, vehicles seldom run
through the red light. Being the
toothless piece of legislation 1t is

Georgia Town Recog'
nizes Negro Bridge
Builders Genius

LaGRANDE, GA. = (ANP) =
John T. King, Negro bridge-builder
architect and contractor, had to
wait % years after his death be-
fore his genius at building bridges
in Troup County was recognized.
King, with his father and three
brothers erected many bridges in
the county, most of which spanned
the Chattahoochee river.
The little-known constructor of
bridges died on May u, 1926, at
the age of 80. His structures, built
by a secret process without nails,
weathered the storms of time for
some so to IS years. One such
bridge, covered structure over
Flat Shoals creek between Column
bus and West Point, withstood ma
lures and mans abuse for go years
before it's mornings were ripped
out by the swollen creek on July
IL, 1948.
However, it was not until Kings
bridges were being torn down last
September to provide modern steel
and concrete bridges for heavier
motor vehicle traffic, that the real
worth Of the builders genius was
appreciated,
Not too much is known about the,
King process of bridge construc-
ton, 1t is known, however, that
pier foundations of sand were de-
signed for the bridges by confirming
the sand with huge timbers of heart
pine, and also that no nails were
used in the bridges. King and bro4
theirs George, Marshall and WASH
ington learned the business from
their father, Horace King, the orig
inal bridge builder, architect and
contractor of the family None of
| lllC 1.-Two INV llNAik.
John King was the last immedi-
ate lineage of Horace King. He was
born on May 1, 1916, and spent
most of his life in La Grange. He
had nine children-eight girls and
boy. Five daughters are still
living. Three daughters and the
son graduated from Clark Univer-
sity and another daughter finished
Howard University During his
lifetime, King was Sunday school
superintendent of the Warren
Methodist church and trustee of
Clark University.
Aside from bridge building, King
was also responsible for the con-
struction of many houses and
buildings in the city. The two-story
house in which three daughters
now live was designed, built and
completed by him in May, 1918.
The original King home once stood
on property across the street from
the Dixie Mills, Inc. In addition, the
family owned much property in the
area, where they had lived for 76
years. At his death, his estate was
said to be worth about $500, 900 in
property and assets.
In November, 1926, six months
after Kings passing, the local
white daily LAGRANGE Reporter de-
voted large obituary space to
him, IL which it was stated,
Among his own race, he was a
constructive leader and welded a
wholesome influence. His will, cour-
age, and hope never failed until
the last"
