Demand End To Race
Quiz By ABA

NEW YORK - (ANP)-The New
York County Lawyers association
voted last week to urge the Ameri-
can Bar association to end its racial
quiz on membership application
blanks.
William North Seymour, delegate
to the bar associations House OF
Delegates which meets this week in
Chicago, was instructed by the
county association to urge the ma
tional body to remove from it's ap-
plication for membership blanks,
the requirement that the applicant
state whether he is White, indian
Monaghan or Negro" The resolu-
ton was adopted unanimously.
The Gotham body is the largest
local constituent affiliated with the

questionable as inappropriate in

s'They lifted the color taboo Is
years too late for Satchel Paig, who
after an all too brief stint in the
majors, has been handed his hat.
Even so he was around long enough
to convince, experts and fans alike
of his skills, though faded by time,
were authentic. Had he got the
break that came to Jackie Robin
son, who hit the majors at his youth
full peak, he would have ranked wit
the greatest pitchers, commanded
oppulent pay and achieved the en-
during distinction of being the first
OF his race to make the Hall of
Fame. Come to think Of it, why
should Old Satch be kept from the
Hall Of Fame simply because it
takes so long to right an ancient
social wrong? From now on, he be-
comes along with Dickie Kerr, an
automatic write in on my ballot. In
this way baseball, through the press
box, can help make amends for the
artistic recognition and fiscal re-
wards denied him down through the
years when he was as good as any
pitcher in the country. Possibly
better"
In only one spot do I disagree
with Mr.. Williams - that is where
he says this recognition "can help
make amends for the artistic recog-
milton and fiscal rewards denied
him. nothing to be done now can
do that. If Williams succeeds in his
project, he will be giving the recog-
milton due a great pitcher, amends
can't be made at this day and date,
in my opinion. Perhaps I'm wrong
but 1 like Joes stand on this par
ticular thing.

"The Love Of Christ"
BY Rollington Taylor

Jesus is the Waterman over all the
world
And the Master of our time,
He keeps watch over all His child
rem
For He's the living vine,
He'll gladly be your father and
mother
Your sister and brother too.
As long as you believe in Him
He'll always walk with you.
Walk while there is light said He,
And you will never fall
For in my fathers house are many
mansions
And room enough for all.
There'll be no more trials and
tribulation
Not even a worry or care,
, He will surely take your troubles
And all your burdens share.
Here in this world is the spirit of
truth
Whom the world cannot receive,
Because it seeth him not neither
knoweth him
& They never will believe.

LEGION ANTI-RED
FRONT

NEW YORK - amp - The
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People will
not participate in the American
Legion's "anti-C Communist front"
organization launched several days
ago.
The board of directors Of the
NAACP voted on the matter last
week at its national headquarters
here and decided that it could not
mix with the legion, the Daughters
of the American Revolution, and
other organizations that have sup
ported and sponsored JON crow.
Following the meeting, DR.. Louis
T. Wright informed American Legi-
on Commander George N. Craig
that the NAACP chose to fight
Communism "by fighting for
more democratic America" rather
than a movement whose "sole pur-
pose is to combat Communism"
The NAACP was the only Negro
organization of the So invited to join
the anti Communist crusade. AL
though several CLIO labor leaders
surprisingly joined the legion rally,
it was attended by many we'll
known anti-Negro, anti-Semitic and
anti-labor spokesman.

The amount requested represents
an increase Of $11.6OO.0OO over that
appropriation for the current bien-
MUM. About $9,600.000 of this fig
ure is to go toward equalizing salar-
les, while the remaining $20OO,OOO
will be used to furnish transporta-

The association suggested a salary
scale ranging from $2,400 a year
for teachers with masters degrees
down to $500 a year for teachers
with only high school education.

laden with dishes or groceries, she can push

her elbow, press the door open instead of
struggling to free one of her hands.
Home furniture also reveals Danish inge-
nuity. Because there is housing shortage in
Denmark and many families are cramped
for space, you find great deal of double
duty furniture and disappearing beds in use.
One item that's particularly economical in
the long run is the baby's crib. It's expand
able. AS the baby grows, so does the crib,
and there's no need to buy Junior new
bed until he really begins to stretch. The
mattress grows, too, with new sections.
Even city life doesn't deprive the Danish
household of the privileges of country
atmosphere. Most apartment buildings, in
Guiding the low-cost developments, provide
an open terrace for each family. Surprisingly
enough. however, the Danish terrace is
simply an outgrowth of the old-fashioned,
ugly fire escape, and it still retains its use

family living in an apartment can
grow its own vegetables and flowers,
too. Conveniently located about the larger
cities are the colony gardens, where you can
have your own patch of land to develop.
Children, too, have their special form of rec

Relaxing with the daily newspaper is

bound so that there are no loose pages. This

for men, since it discOurages wives from
trying to borrow part of the paper.
Another idea that men like Though use

phone has visible meter which registers
