many places such as the PIX

(which Is In great number)."
Mr.. wilkins also cited a repor,

apart from the fact that some OF
the strategy Of the Korean war
Is to disabuse the minds Of the
Koreans and others that this is
a racial war and that this STRAIT
egy is seriously impaired by the
practice of racial discrimination
by the occupation forces Of the

were about 25 yards away from
the Johnson boat rowed to the
spot where johnson went down,
thinking that when he came up
they would haul him into their
boat. He never came up.

group located the sheriff, who
commenced dragging for the body
around 1890 a. m. His body was
found sometime between 2 and s
p. m.

greater than II Is at the present
time" stated William f. Cratic,
president of the Minneapolis
branch of the NAACP. He point
ed out how on a local level the
NAACP is participating in the
Paulson vs. Keller and Cassius
case that involves discrimination
in housing; is closely observing
the Feitelsohn case that concerns
discrimination in taverns. And
how, with the cooperation Of the
State Conference of NAACP and
the local press they were success
full in breaking down the lily
white policy Of the American
Bowling Congress in Minnesota
by entering a team in the Tribune
classic.
THE recent Supreme Court
victories, the Willie MCGEE case
in Alabama, the Trenton Six,
the Martinsville Seven are only
some Of the legal battles the
NAACP is taking an active part
in on a national level.
In addition to the legal fights,
the NAACP is ceaselessly fight
ing for the passage Of Federal
and state F.E.P.C. laws, the elm
ination Of Jim Crow in the armed
services, public schools, travel,
all public financed projects, in
the nations capitol, Washington,

Bopfisfs CoIl For
Race Bios End;
Massey Sees Growth

Cleveland, Ohio - Declaring
that discrimination and segrega-
ton based on religion, race, color
and culture are ethically and
morally indefensible and contrary
to the gospel OF Christ and the
principle of freedom for which
Baptists stand" Baptists
throughout the world were urged
to examine themselves and their
activities thoroughly and work
collectively and individually to-
ward safeguarding the rights of
oppressed racial groups in a res
olution presented at the World
Baptist Alliance held here July
% through 27.
This resolution calling upon
Baptists to oppose racial dis
elimination and segregation was
brought to the floor Of the Con-
gress on the sixth and final day
of the convention.
The commission on social JUS
tice, headed by DR.. Benjamin
Mays of Atlanta, Ga, presented
the racial discrimination resolu-
ton to the resolution committee.
The World Baptist Alliance,
which meets in a designated city
every 10 years, has condemned
racial discrimination since 1884.
However, the 1850 resolution ad-
ded that discrimination based on
religion, culture, color and race
provides fertile soil for the de
velopment and spread of com
munism, fascism and other anti
social programs.
According to Rev. Floyd Mas
sey Jr.. pastor, Pilgrim Baptist
church, who was one of the St
Paulites who attended the con-
ventiOn, religious and social un-
derstanding of Baptists have ad-
vanced considerably.
Many Negroes from throughout
the country participated on the
program, he said, some of them
delivering main addresses. Rev
Massey himself was one of about
124 invited to speak in churches
throughout the city. He was in
vited to speak at the Christian
Church in Bedford, one OF the
largest churches in the city. How
ever, because of other pressing
business, he declined the offer.
Among the 10000 delegates
present, were Messrs. George W
Wills, N. N. Smith, Moses Knott,
Jr., Mrs. Luella Brown and

munity, and the boosts they gave
and willingness in which they
supported him and the high
school graduate, the youth of the
community, who furnished him
with the incentive to keep plug

try.
But more than that, what
will they, the people of Minneapo-
lis, remember of their Bill? What
will labor, the youth, the busi-

member of Bill, now that he is
gone to Detroit?

representing that large and eager

will remember how he never COM
planned, but gave himself to the
community his sound advice,
his reliable and cooperative ma

And from the average John
Doe in the community, what he
did affected us, his victories were
our victories
From state officials, from ad-
ministrators, persons from all
positions in life, came letters
and kilograms of regret and con-
gratulations to Bill.
And from Bill himself, who
looked long and lovingly over the
people gathered by a Citizens

Carey to express their deep graft

And the friends of Bills, who
had listened to the songs of Mrs.
Sylvia Libbel and Misses Velma
Williams and Constance Chivers,
and who finally gathered around
Bill for the last handshake, look

Wishart's prophesy, Where Bill
goes, progress will be made, !"
come true.
