Is AT Us Again

Once again Tuesday our great and distinguished
contemporary The jackson Daily News, which styles it.
SELL Mlsslssppls Greatest Newspaper having been at
1t unreentngy for the past years. called upon us to
suffer IN silence the sngs and of outraged for

lined story titled Jackson Negro Adjunct to Propa-
ganda Linked of Communist Party
We refuse however, to allow great and distin-
gulshed contemporary, The jackson Daily News, or
any other thing or anyone ese to force to choose
the side OF communism that of the Communist Party
Our choice, made long before the Communist Party be-
came an issue in America is Democracy; make it
again today and now. 1t is choice made because the
Constitution of the United States gives every Ameri-
can Citizen, great and distinguished Black or White
rich or poor weak strong the right of Freedom of
Speech freedom of the Press, and all the other rights
contained in the B of Rights" and in addition the
right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness It
will be Immediately seen therefore that we make our
choice without fear either of the Jackson Daily News,
or OF the House Committee Un-American Activities
whose action and findings the central theme of
the jackson Daily News Story.
Our choice of democracy in these times is not only
made deliberately and without fear but defend our
choice on the record which have made in diffusing
democracy IN these times We point especially to the
hundreds of potential Negro Soldiers who came to us
as an Advisory Member of the Board of Seective during
the last war, and those who in preparation
Tor what may be third world war, for whom it was
necessary for to restate and reemphasze the great
principals OF democracy because the great and the dis
gushed had made the word democracy at least as for
as Negroes are concerned the synonym for yncsm and
hypocrisy.
We also defend our choice of democracy in these
times by the record for dffusing democracy already
MADE and established by the Jackson Advocate

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

SOME 1851 PREDICTIONS:
Don't expect Peace, but don't ex-
pect war in 1851. Nobody wants
war. Nobody wants the World de-
stroyed yet, It may be bad and
nerve-grinding but most of us
would like to see it still in tack.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
won't be around til summer. Some
body is got to take the zap for the
reverses in Korea, and the present
administration is the most likely
victim, though the entire Western
World is responsible.
Tighten your belts. The liberty
in civilian goods is gone with the
wind. BY Midsummer, you'll be
experiencing the lush days of World
War IL, and by the end of 1851
there will be more money in circu-
lation than there will be goods to
purchase.
Greater strides will be made in
race relations this year since the
Civil War days. By the end of
this year, every University in the
North and most of them in the
South will write jim Grow from
their camp uses.
Your next Secretary of State will
come from the COP ranks, but not
before a bitter fight.
Zippers will be as hard to get as
Autos. Two words you may as we'll
get use to hearing: "Scarcities'
and "Rationing." They are not yet
in the headlines, but they will be in
1851.
The Government will have to take
over some important industries be-
cause of strikes. More Negroes will
be appointed to important govern
ment positions since the Carpetbag
days, and America will come to
realize during 1851 that any dis
turbance in the Far East is a race
war.
And don't be surprised if sparodic
emotions don't get the urge to start
to arresting all known Communists
in this country, for nerves in high
places will grow more jittery as the
year rolls along.
But come what may, lets all Am
orleans make the best of it.

Zoning Laws
Illegal Court Rules

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dee. 20
(SNS)-The United States Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
Wednesday that the City of Birm-
ingham, Ala, cannot prevent
Negroes from living in "all white
sections"
The majority opinions of the ap-
peals tribunal affirmed lower
court ruling on the case of City of
Birmingham VS.. Mary Means
Monk, ct al, which held the zoning
laws of the city unconstitutional
In writing the majority opinion
Judge Wayne Borah said: "the
rights created by the 14th amend
ment are, by its term, guaranteed
to the individual. The right estab-
lished are personal rights.
Zone of the basic detectives
sought to be effectuated by the
farmers of the 18th amendment
was freedom from discrimination
by the states and their municipali-
ties in the enjoyment of property
rights"
RUSSELL DISSENT
The dissenting opinion was issued
by Judge Robert Russell.
In their suit, Mary Monk and
several other Negro citizens of the
United States asked the federal
district court to enjoin the City of
Birmingham from enforcing it's
zoning law.
The City appealed after the U. S.
District Court of the Northern Dis
trict of Alabama declared the law
unconstitutional.
In its appeal, the city contended
that the zoning law was valid and
constitutional and is a power that
is inalienable and Cannot be sur
rendered by the City of Birming-
ham, Alabama, or by the State of
Alabama"

A PEOPLES CONGRESS MEETS
By MOSS HI. HENDRIX

A PEOPLES CONGRESS MEETS
Washington, D. C. = If the
United States has ever seen a
Peoples Congress, that was it
that met in Washington the other
week = The Midcentury White
House Conference on Children
und Youth.
The concensus was that Mr.
Truman's 6,000-person assembly
was about as democratic as any
U. S. confab could be, especially
if it is held in the nations CAPT.
tai where North and South make
a perfect blend.
First the conference planners
and management, under the lead
ership of Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Oscar Ewing, should
be commended for a sincere at
tempt to set a conference atmos-
phere that would be representa-
tive.
About 500 race delegates were
present for the five-day meeting.
From Georgia there came eigh-
teen Negro delegates, none of
whom would have been here had
Governor Norman Talmadge had
his say. Mr.. Ewing resolved this
matter.
Then there was the National
Congress of Colored Parents and
Teachers with the largest delega-
ton from national organization.
All total the NCCPT had thirty
representatives. This organization,
incidentally, was the only Negro
group, with an exhibit.
DR.. Benjamin E. Mays, More
house College president, and DR..
Flemmie P. Kittrell, Howard Uni
versity professor, served on the
national committee. While Drs.
E. Franklin Frazier and Alain
Locke were members of the Fact
Finding committee.
In top-level positions of partici-
patton were DR.. Allison Davis,
Chicago University, who held a
principal spot as speaker, and
| DIR. Ira De A. Reid of Haverford
College, who was chairman of the
important section on social work.
This would not be a fair report
should it appear that | am trying
to leave the impression that all
went well. That would not be
true, since this conference was
held in Washington. Jim Grow
here is still the rule, rather than
the exception.
For instance, there were hotels
that turned away Negro delegates,
merely because they were Ameri-
cans of color. On the other hand,
| know that Mr.. Ewing's housing
committee made no distinction in
! its placements on the basis of
race.
AS matter of fact, some
"white" delegates are known to
have stopped in uptown hotels,
and a large number of Negroes
were housed in down-t town hotels.
In this connection, / made a per-
sonal count of not fewer than
twenty such hotels which served
Negroes.
There are other circumstances
that are disgraceful to the Ma
tion's capital. Even here, Negro
cannot eat wherever he wishes
Anybody can eat in the uptown
eat shops, but downtown after
you leave the bus terminal, Union
Station and the CT cafeterias for
the most part, that's all.
One delegate to the Midcentury
suggested that such conferences
as that be held only in locations
where "unsegregated facilities
are provided for all. That pro-
posal was declared mot genuine
To me it appeared quite germane
/ would add my Amen to the
position of one youth, who noted

WORLD.
The Gospel under the lamp light
Is just about faded away
The Gospel under the electric light
Is ruling this world today.
The electric light shines so bright
1t changes the young mans
mind
No more oil they have to put in
the lamp
It's just a bulb sometimes.
The electric power in the church
today
Is the biggest power on hand
The Bible says let your light so
shine
But the electric light shines
for the man.
The Devil furnishes a bright light
For the church as well as for
the juke
Then the Devil says when he
passes the church
Just see how the people look.
The Churches has about lost its
power
Some are adding and taking
away
Yet you are adding damnation
To your soul and going astray.
When the gospel was preached
Under the oil lamp for light
Most all the members join the
church
To see if they can live right.
Does the people believe in Jesus
Well it's hard for me to see
They lock arms with the world
And claim their souls are free
False gospel won't save you
It's like a dog on the hay
The dog he can't eat it
So he runs the cows away.
