Bishop Brooks of the New Orleans

month effort was $35,532. An
equal amount was donated by the
Board of Home Missions which
placed upon the table, 5000, with
which to build a new Harry Hoos-

new project will get under con-

Chapel, which cost 1900, and the
"Robert E. Jones Hail." which cost
$4,000. The newly constructed
"INN", as it is called, costing
$150,000, will be dedicated later.
All have been built during the last
three years, under the leadership
of Bishop Brooks, since the 1947

Cotton Prices Boom

The high price Of cotton, only 1.51 cents pound
below the record for August, which was set in 1920
is explained by the forecast of 10,308O0O bales for
1850
This estimate yield compares with the 1949 crop
of 16,128,00O bales. Together with carry-over of
65OO0OO it makes available total of 1880 600 run
ming bales 4,7500O0 less than the 1949-5O season.
Naturally in the face of this outlook cotton prices
last month reflected the smaller supply. Domestic use
increased during the last year but twelve percent
below the peacetme of 194647 Cotton exports
totaed 5,905000 bales, increase of 1158,OO over
1948-49 and the highest export total since 1939-40
when 100000 bales shipped abroad.

DR.. Bunche Is Right
(From The Los Angeles Tribune)

(FrOm The Los Angeles Tribune)
DR.. Ralph Bunche undoubtedly spoke the senti-
ments of the overwhelming majority of Negroes when
he condemned North Korean aggression and urged full
support of the United Nations action to curb the Red
attempt to South Korea The theory that this
is racial recognized for the nonsense that it is
by most of
mo smoke of propaganda" DIR. Bunche
pointed out "can obscure the simple truth that on June
25 the North Korean forces without the sghestc
attacked and invaded the Republic of Korea"
Communist propaganda to the effect that North
Koreans colored people and thus entitled sup
port of American Negroes is silly Of course, they're
coored and the South Koreans Negroes see read
y enough that North Koreans pawns of the
Russians and that the being fought in Korea is
clash between two political faiths Despite noisy
minority Negroes committed to believe in and sup
port of democracy
What we're after is not the destruction of demo-
cracy or its replacement by system that curbs all ber-
ties but extension of the democratic way of life to
make it fulfill it's promise of equality for all men,
In this, in it's other wars, America can count on
the loyalty of Negroes

in world history, we had also come
to the mid uardrenium" point in

geous singing star of screen and
radio is following up ner French
success with ever more critical
raves in London as a result of a
startling switch in her singing
style from seductive restraint to
fiery, uninhibited display.
81 adopted this style for France"
Lena says in October Ebony, "be-
cause the French don't understand
English so you have to hit them
with everything" Speaking of
Lena's new style, Maurice Che
Waller is also quoted in Ebony as
saying, "She sings like a tiger!"
Miss Morne's new style was re-
hearsed in secret with her MGM
musical director husband Lennie
Hayton for months. Three years
ago when Lena sang in Paris the
French frowned on her poised
and dignified style. Designed for
the French, Lena's new "schmaltz"
style has also scored in England.
Whether she will continue to use
the new style on her return to
America is uncertain, Ebony says.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | was reading something
in the newspaper here the other
day that gave me whole lot ia
think about when | sat down to
enjoy my Fish and Beer. 1t was
about a meeting of the Voters
League up in Greenville which il
rapidly becoming one of the Old
Magnolia's most enlightened COM
munities, due largely to the pres
ence of Editor Holding Carter of
the Delta Democrat Times, who
was a speaker at the aforesaid
meeting of the Voters League
and everybody knows it amt nee
essary for nobody to have anything
like Voters League down here
in the Old Magnolia, cepten it be
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns. What |
was reading and what gave me
the thoughts over my fish and beer
was something what | read about
what my good friend and brother
Elder Hume, Editor of the Delta
Leader (Aunt Haggar's) anc
President of the State Baptist AS
ISOLATION, said about one of the
speakers among Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns who calculated during the
proceedings. 1t seems that the
speaker, being one of them young
'erns haG some hair-lifting if not
un-kind remarks to say about the
Brothers O-The- Cloth, meaning the
preachers, and what they have
done and have not done, with most
emphasis on the ave-not-done, in
giving effective leadership to the
masses of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
down here in the Old Magnolia.
Now Pm agreeing with my good
friend and brother as much as /
can seeing that he being the Pres
ident of the State Baptist and feel
ing called upon to defend the ways
and workings of the Brethren.
Yea, when it comes to preaching
Christ and him crucified," and talk
ing about that "wheel in the mid
dle-of-a-wheel," and pointing to-
wards that stairway to the sky"
as one among Aunt Haggar's Chill
huns, | can say with Brother Hume
that the Brethren-O -The-C Cloth
have not been lacking in the
spiritual" urge. But the more
| look back and read that Sermon

to realize that what the "Man-of

was how folks got along down here
on terra-firma, which includes Civ
ing to Caesar that which is Gaze
sar's, and getting from Caesar
them things that goes with good
living down here on terra firma.
including the right to vote and
name Caesar. Knowing more
about the "Man-of -Gallilee" than
they used to the young'erns are
looking for more than stairways
to the skys from the Brethren-O-

young speaker herein mentioned
was talking like he did.

81 am especially grateful for
your organizations continued sup
port and encouragement in the
achievement of effective civil
rights legislation, which | still re-
gard as one of the major pieces of
unfinished business before the Con-
gress."
In his address to the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters on the oc-
casion of it's 25th anniversary and
silver jubilee celebration, Secretary
Tobin stated: ave cannot hold our
own, in the great struggle of ide-
ologies now convulsing the world,
unless we build, as Mr.. Randolph
put it, a bastion of freedom here
in America, which will thrill the
teeming millions of every variety
of race, color and confession,
throughout the earth, make them
followers of democracy, save them
from becoming the victims of to-
| talitarianism.
"That bastion of freedom cannot
exist, SO long as minorities in our
midst are not accorded the rights
of full citizenship, so long as any
one is Disseminated against be-
cause of his color, his origin or
his belief, so long as the worker
is deprived of his fair share of our
economic abundance, so long as all
Americans fail to live up to a sense
of brotherhood and mutual esteem,
so long as prejudice divides us and
hatred denies the sanctity and dig
nifty of the individual soul.
"For our own sake, and for the
sake of the rest of mankind, we
must heed the call of human kim
ship. We Americans can do that
best by never forgetting that we
are inextricably involved in man.
kind-that, wherever mere power
triumphs over liberty and human
rights, we feel the blow-that,
whenever freedom is extinguished
elsewhere, the bell may soon toll
for US. The fate of the free peoples
OF the earth is ours to make or to
break. Cleansed of inequities at
home, we are doubly strengthened
to overcome wrong and tyranny
abroad.
Il am sure of the whole-souled
loyalty of American Negroes. They
have been the particular target of
Communist propaganda. They have
resisted these subversive allure
ments. They have refused to be led
to the slaughter of their hopes by
attempts to play upon their griev-
ances. They have refused, in the
face of a calculated campaign, to
become the dupes of Communist
lies. They are as staunchly faith
full to their obligation as Ameri-
cans in the present emergency as
they have been in every national
crisis of the past"
In brief resume of the history
OF the Brotherhood, Secretary To-
bin recounted that Is years ago
the union started with 6 members
IN New York City whereas today
1T has $4,000 members in 1O7 locals
In 81 States and Canada. Likewise,
he pointed out that in 1925 wages
for sleeping car porters were $67.5O
for 300 to 4O0-hour month, while
today the minimum wage is $235.9O
for .204-hour month.
