As a result OF this meeting,
which could have spelled a great
upheaval in the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church, the follow
ing relationships exist:
Bishop Wright win remain as
prelate Of the sixth district, ruled
by Bishop w. A. Fountain, the
presidents father, for 20 years
before Bishop Wright took over
two years ago.
The council delayed action on a
request to transfer him from the
district until charges against
him could be taken up by a reg
ular meeting Of the Bishops
council.
Fountain Back TO College
DR. Fountain is back as presi-
dent Of Morris Brown but with
certain tensions still existing. He
has the fun support OF the bis
hops, 10 OF whom were present at
the Memphis meeting.
On the other side, the board OF
trustees voted unanimously to re-
store him TO office but having
no faith in DR.. Fountain" The
board said il acted as It did to
save Bishop Wright from pos
sibly being moved out of Georgia.
II said II acted in compliance
with the July 5 directive OF the
council to restore DR.. Fountain.
Further, II criticized the council.
calling its action outside inter-
ference" with the affairs OF the
college.
Bishops Council Finishes Task
AS far as the Bishops council is
concerned its part in the case
apparently is closed. Expressing
the councils attitude, Bishop s.
L. Greene, acting president, COM
mented:
Bishop Wright complied with
our directive to restore President
Fountain. This was all we asked
him to do. Neither in Atlanta nor
at our Memphis meeting have we
as a council dealt with the Morris
Brown trustee board. We have
dealt only with Bishop Wright as
member Of this council and
chancellor OF the college"
Mondays council meeting is
the first big climax Of an appar-
ent disagreement between the
trustees and Bishop Wright on
one side and President Fountain
on the other. 1t came out into the
open early in June when Bishop
Wright and the trustees ordered
a leave of absence" for DR.,
Fountain for an alleged shortage
Of $4,000, all Of which has been
repaid except a reported 5000.

for their appeals to race hatred
in the recent South Carolina cleo
tons which were the newsman's
last domestic assignment before
going overseas to Korea.
Lawrence wrote:
"""' while waiting for trans
port I saw the most convincing
answer to the racial appeals of
the Carolina politicians. An
ambulance plane from the Kor-
can front allowed to take off
because of the urgency of its
errand, rolled to a stop on the
airstrip where Red Cross am
balances were lined up. The
walking wounded came out.
The first man off the plane
was a big Negro rifleman with
a patch over one eye. Then a
sandy-haired white man wear
ing a crucifix and clutching his
wounded arm. There were sew
eral others, black and white,
and then the litter patients,
about equally divided. Here
they were united in the bond of
sacrifice, suffering and fight
ing in a battle so that some
yellow men could rule them
selves. 1t was a far cry from
the rantings of Johnston and
Thurmond on the theme that
only white men were fit to rule
and that Negroes must always
play a subordinate role to a
white master.
"As we drove down the road
the sound of firing gradually
became faint, the instinct OF
self-preservation became less
dominant and my mind turned
back to comparing this-my
first experience in the field -
with my last domestic assign
ment in the United States
With disgust I recalled the ter
ribly low level struck by both
candidates for Senator from
South Carolina.
1T seemed hardly possible
that the same country in which
such appeals for high office
could be made also furnished
these black and white men ]
had seen fighting and dying
and suffering together so that
yellow men could be free to run
their own lives. A song from
my favorite musical, South
Pacific" furnished partial
clue: you've got to be taught
to hate"
These kids obviously had
not been taught to hate each
other or anybody else for that
matter. A few more days OF
combat would give them the
bitter incentive to kill their
North Korean enemies. But the
common sacrifice and suffer
ing they are enduring should
keep them from ever hating
each other over the circum'
stance that one has a skin OF
different color from another"

Seattle Claims Title OF
Most Democratic City
BY Gertrude G. Austin

Seattle, Wash.-Seattle is Amer
ica's most democratic city. This
claim was made by proud local
citizens at the annual meeting of
the Civic Unity committee, couple
of weeks ago.
At this meeting speakers credited
their claim to Mayor William F.
Devin and the committee for their
work during the five years of the
committees existence. Greatest
achievements were the following:
1. Secured cooperation of hotels
and restaurants in adopting nom
discriminatory policy.
2. Worked with the public schools
in experimental efforts to bring
high school students the facts about
discrimination in Seattle.
3. Launched an international
housing service to bring together
non-white home buyers and prop
erty owners willing to sell their
real estate on the basis Of char
acter regardless of race, creed, or
color.
4. Helped pave the way for the
return of japanese to Seattle.
Asks Love
Mayor Devin in his address asked
every man to love his fellow man
as his brother. He praised the citi-
zens for their cooperation with the
Civic Unity committee which he
established in 1914. He said:
IT am proud of our citizens who
have helped to make Seattle Amer
ica's most democratic city. This
fact proves that people of different
races and creeds can live together
peaceably with honor and respect
for each others rights"
Frank P. Helsell, who presided
over the meeting, also praised the
city for giving more than lip serv-
ice to democracy.
Among the hostesses for the oc-
casion were two colored girls, Miss
Vivian Meade and Miss Marilou
Miller.
Population of Seattle is about 20
percent non-white with third of
these Negroes.
