Good Work Congressman

We rejoice over the news that the House of Repre-
sentatves Thursday at the urging of Congressman Will
liam L. Dawson of Chicago and Adams Clayton Powell of
New York, voted 222 to 1T against legislation which
would have enabled Congress to authorize the erection
of Veterans hospital for Negroes at the Booker Wash
ngtOn Birthplace Virginia in honor of that noted educa
tor and benefactor
Very porperly, Congressman Dawson, in whom all
Negroes Democrats and Republicans alike, have the
highest respect termed the bill cass legislation and
Congressman Powell said it perpetuates the system of
segregation, since it would be Jim Grow institution
This does not mean that we have any less appreca-
ticn for the late Booker T. Washington His place in
history is already assured Negroes including the school
children fully appreciative of his life and the spen-
did heritage he has passed to them But D. Washing
ton himself we believe, if he could return to Virginia
and view the conditions of America today would strong
y advise against the wisdom of erecting such an nstit
ton.
Therefore, we are happy in the thought that our
only two congressman in Washington eye to eve on
this important matter and voted to kill it once and for
all times. 1t seems that the idea originated with S. J
Phillips, who for several years has been touring the
country III an effort to create among whites and Negroes
greater appreciation for the memory and works of Mr.
Washington. And while feel that the great ma ortv
OF White and Negro citizens thoroughly respect and
honor Mr. Washington without the need of any urging
from Mr. Phillips, his spirit is still praiseworthy one

G. Kuh announced here this week.

NIGHT: My grandma used to have
saying when | was boy !.
The LORD DON'T LOVE UGLY
for a, long time it caused me
to look at people in the neighbor-
mood whose outward appearance
caused them to be judged as ugly,
and in some cases the fact was
so much in evidence that | often
wondered how such people would
ever be able to do enough to get
in good standing with The Lord,

UGLY. | was longtime in gett-
ing around to the proper under
standing of what Grandma was
talking about when she said THE
LORD DON'T LOVE UGLY, but
as | came along in this world it
gradually dawned on me that what
Grandma was talking about didn't
have nothing to do with how you
LOOKED but it had every
thing to do with HOW YOU ACT

off what | had read in the News

what | was thinking about be-
gan to wonder if the folks on that
committee overheard anything
about THE LORD DON'T LOVE

are down here in the Ole Magnolia
seems to give some evidence of how
THE LORD puts out the rewards
in the case of those who he sees
acting ugly, and in the matter Of

SEX CRIMES
The Great Challenge To Present
Day America

The daily repetition of rape and violent sex crimes
reported in the press occurring in every section OF the
country fail to be both dsheartening and battling
to those of who think in terms of high ideals, and
great sense of moral values which gave and the
enduring spirit to the founders of great nation.
1t must also be both disheartenng and battling to
those of us who remember the yesterdays of times
which reach back into period when the present day
phasis on appeal considered both lewd and
indecent.
With rapes and other crimes of taking place with
astounding regularity in all sections Of the country
whites and Negroes against Negroes it must be apparent
that rape and other crimes not confined to
any racial group but is something that grows out OF
disease and sickness that is effecting the whole of
society.
Having reached the conclusion that rape and other
crimes have particular racial connections for
here in the south particularly, these crimes should
longer be used tension points but their constant re-
should bring about greater efforts to find the
cause and the remedy for this condition.
The constantly recurring crimes of rape and other
crimes, indeed must have far deep root that be
reached by the hasty action of the Grand Jury and
bringing into use, the death sentence and the electric
chair
Whatever the deeper cause the stamping out rape
and the growing number of other crimes is of
the great challenge to present day America.

.LSU Rejects
Application OF
Negro Student For
Grad uate Study

NATCHITOCHES, louisiana
(SpeciaD-Louisiana State Univer-
sity has rejected the application of
Lutrill Amos Payne Natchitoches,
the first Negro seeking admission
to the graduate school of education,
agriculture for the summer ses-
sion.
Payne's application was rejected
on the ground that "the university
can accept applications for admis-
sion from white students only in
accordance with the statutes and
policy of the State of Louisiana"
1t was pointed out by the Off
Gals of the Louisiana Education
association and the NAACP who
jointly supported the Roy Wilson
test case through the courts last
fall, that there are several Indian
and Chinese students presently at
tending LSU.
General Troy Middleton, presi-
dent of the university, released the
information on Payne's rejection
after closed door meeting with
the board of supervisors in Baton
Rouge, May 26.
Payne, a graduate of Southern
University, is an agriculture in
structor in Natchitoches Parish.
DR.. Johnson, president of the
state NAACP, told the REGISTER
in an exclusive interview, that the
applicant had gotten all Southern
University had to offer in agricul-
ture and was DESTROYS of doing
graduate work at LSU to learn to
teach Louisiana farmers to cult
vate Louisiana soil.
II think he has a solid argu-
ment," the NAACP head declared
at doesn't make sense for one to
J go all the way to New York to
| Learn about Louisiana agriculture
methods"
Prior to filing an application for
admittance to LSU, Payne was ac-
cepted by the Cornell University
graduate of School agriculture. He
later decided to avail himself OF
the opportunity to attend school
here In his own state.

Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F, BELL

How Do You Look? Recently
my mali has been filled with ques-
tions about being toe old for This
and That" Who said you were
too old? These are two words |
should like very much to see
dropped entirely from the English
language. And | am sure that
most of US feel that we could do
very we'll without the use of them
ever again. They have been very
much overworked words, ard the
use of them do far more harm
than good.
Allow me to tell you as friend
to friend, whether you are women
or men; you are never too old.
Keep well and healthy, keep a
breast of the times by becoming
interested in things about you, and
this busy beautiful world of ours.
Plunge out into the swim and do
Chings. Come out of the dark cor
ner and pick your chm up off the
floor, and keep thinking that you
are just as young and pretty as
your neighbor, and soon, you will
really feel that you are. Never;
never forget that however you feel
inside, you look the part outside.
Perhaps you feel that | talk a
good deal about posture. You are
right. We must think and do q
lot about our posture, for without
good posture we cannot retain a
coed figure. Teenagers are far
too often guilty of slouchy pos
ture, while adults of a similar
habit will show depressed spirits.
If you have family to care for
you can still take or a small task.
Help out in your community, for
these are busy times. Everyone IS
doing an extra job. But remem-
Der, time is fast approaching when
we will remove our coats, And
with them, go our disguise. You
and your figure will be strictly on
your own, girls.
1t is up to you not to allow the
dark side of life at this period to
cloud your horizon for If you just
wait around for a miracle to hap
pen without ever making an eff
Fort to improve yourself mentally,
spiritually, or physically, you will
awaken at a very late date only
to find that you are simply stall
ing-away. So watch yourself, and
do not let yourself lag for the
want of attention.
ETIQUETTE SAYS When some
one asks you personal question,
even if you feel that it is none of
their business, do not be rude.
You may laughingly give an evas-
i've answer.
If you have any problems on
beauty or clothes, address Bessie

You are adding and taking away
From Gods word in a many way
You have your cattle out in the
field
Did Jesus tell the people you
must pay?
Jesus said he that give let him
give freely
He said be we also as | am
If we can't follow the Program of
Christ
Our souls are bound to be damn
ed.
He that add or take away
Are adding damnation to his soul
My people do believe Gods word
II so let Gods spirit in the

Why make yourself ignorant
And then preach false doctrine
Everywhere from land to land.
Stop teaching my people to get
religion
And they will be ready to die
Teach them to get some Christ in
them
For they'll have a home on high.
The Love of God give you know
ledge
Of the Kingdom of God on high
But religion along is dangerous
And will give you hell by and by.
Education will make you a genus
But not child of God
You must be born of the spirit
