Handbags Of Distinction
ST. PETERS A.M.E. CHURCH

How Near is the Kingdom of
Cod" Luke II. 20, 81. was the
subject of one of the most con-
vinCing sermons ever delivered by
our pastor, the Rev. NJ. L. Sim
mons on last Sunday. His mes
sage could be likened to the words
with which he described Jesus in
the beginning of his discourse. He
said quote Jesus was unique
his answers were straight for
ward and to the point-his langu-
age simple and it struck like
dynamite" as he said-The King
dom of God is Within You" Some
lOng-tO-be remembered phrases
are-Men are not just cogs in a
wheel, but respectable units in
the plan of God: There is a spark
of divinity in every human being,
but we often cover up the spark
with sin, vice and corruption; No
man can make real contribution
to the world until he's had a
spiritual housekeeping; World
betterment is contingent upon
human betterment; It is within
our power to make the world
better.
Two people were added to the
church at his invitation.
The Easter Cleaners to date
have netted S45S.S7 with others
to be reported. Something to
think about A person paying 10C
a day to the Building Fund will
pay annually $3.50; 800 people
paying this nets the fund S1O.-

this would mean $4,000 and not
a single person hurt. Think it

Rowan Speaker Al
Frontiers BirfhdaY
At Dyekman Hotel

Carl Rowan, author Of the SEN
sational newspaper feature, How
Far From Slavery" that ap-
pcarcd in the Minneapolis Tribune
was guest of honor at the first
anniversary ting Of the
Frontiers club last Saturday at
the Dyclman hotel
Rowan said the Tribune de-
served equally as much credit as
he did because II II wasn't for the
paper he would have never been
able to make the trip. He pointed
out that when the Tribune gave
its consent for the series, 1t had
no way Of knowing If the articles
would be a success or failure and
whether or not the series would
cause a drop or rise in circulation.
When Bower Hawthorne, city
editor Of the Tribune spoke, he
stated the Rowan series had more
reader response than any other
story that has ever appeared in
the paper.
Rowan talked informally,
pointing out the highlights and
humorous incidents Of the trip.
About half OF his talk was spent
answering questions from the
floor.
Rowan went on to say that as
the fight against segregation pro-
crosses, there are vested or sell
fish interests" among the Negroes
who oppose it because they stand
to lose personally II Jim Crow is
ended.
He cited the example of the II
Negro teachers at the Louisville
Day School who will lose their
jobs because the school is closing
and the students are being trans
ferred to Louisville Municipal Col
lege which has been all white"
These teachers" Rowan said,
despite the fact they are losing
their jobs, are unanimously of the
opinion that it's best for the ITO
student and for them to stand in
the way would be wrong"
Thomas Talley, industrial secre-
tary of the st. Paul Urban League
said the Frontiers Club was dedi-
Gated to community service. He
sketched briefly the purposes and
background of the club activity.
About 100 people attended the
luncheon meeting, Frank Smith of
st. Paul acted as POSTMASTER
He introduced members and Off
GERS of the Frontier club and the
guests seated at the head table.

which | was chairman, told
the President that we were
keenly aware of the increasing
responsibility that rests upon
the President of the United
States as a result Of the peri
lous world situation.
We journeyed to Washington TO
contribute something worthwhile
to our moral health and to our
national well being. We are
solidly behind the government in
the fight to stop the spread of
communism and TO maintain and
improve our democratic way of
life. We support the President of
the United States In his declaring
a state of national emergency
and we accept in full the point of
view expressed in his state Of
the Union" message.
No group in this nation can
make a more eloquent argument
or show a longer record Of con-
tributions to the democratic way
Of life than the sixteen million
citizens of darker color. For this
reason, then, the American Ne
gro is not only anxious, but is
willing to fight for his right TO
participate as an equal in every
phase Of this nations program for
the protection and the advance
ment Of the democratic way Of
life.
II seems rather paradoxicaI
that any group in our nation, ut
such n time, should have 20
fight for his right TO make his
contribution In behalf Of his
country.
Although we are not unmindful
of the defects of our democracy,
we believe that the United States
of America Is actually and poten-
italy the greatest country on
earth. Believing this, we want TO
play, in this crisis, our full role as
American citizens, unhampered
and unfettered by those forces
which weaken our democracy in
the eyes of the world and which
all too frequently give our enem-
les a justifiable reason to spread
dangerous propaganda against us.
In this hour Of global crisis, we
should demonstrate to the world
that we are a united people and
that we are actually and sincere
ly demonstrating IL in practice
here at home. We are convinced
that in order to defeat commu-
nism cannot be overcome by mill
tary might alone. however power
full that might may be--not even
by the superior possession and use
OF atom ana hydrogen bombs; nor
by the use OF the meteorological
implements of war.
In addition to military power,
we believe that in order to over
come communism and to make
the United States an impregnable
citadel OF freedom and democracy,
our country must stand above re-
proach in the treatment 1t ac-
cords all of its peoples.
Whereas the forces of the
United Nations in Korea are re-
presented by numerous nations,

top plaudits of the critics.
Richard L. Coe of the Washing

film proved worthy of its spit and
polish audience.
Writer Director Robert Pirosh
has captured unique flavor for the
outfit. the result is that you
believe what you are being shown
about the men, their way of speak
ing. and their attitudes.
The Tines erald's Ernie Schier
called the film long overdue tri-
butte to the 442nd.
"Gt is a picture with very much
of point. Fully aware of the
social implications of his material,
Pirosh gets his point across in en-
tertaining fashion. The screen sto-
ry of the 442nd is loaded with come
dy.
Jay Carmody of The Evening Star
really pulled out all stops to give
the film his blessing. He called it
dramatically favored human
story of group of fighting men
who had as much to fight against as
they had to fight for.
Prejudice, suspicion, and some
times bigotry in its most brutal as

They completely reflect MGMs
determination to stick to the story
i. that of a brave, resourceful
and high spirited bunch of young
Americans who had two wars to

of the finest critical reviews when,
as the film ended, packed theater
broke out with rare, spontaneous
applause.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, May %
Last week, the State Of California
Assembly committee on constitu-
tional amendments voted out Eli
otis Assembly Constitutional A.
mendment 50 which will repeal Ar
ticle XIX relating to the Chinese
from the California State Constitu-
ton, the JACL ADO West coast Of
flee announced today. This bill will
now go for a vote before the entire
State Assembly.
The section On Chinese or Mongo-
lians in Article XIX of the Califor-
MIA Constitution of 1879 prohibits
Chinese from being employed in any
state, county, or municipal or other
public works except in punishment
for crime. Section declared that
no corporation now existing or here
after formed in California could
employ directly or indirectly in any
capacity any Chinese or Mongolians
The Technology, "Mongolians"
would also apply to Japanese.
Although many sections of this
article have been declared uncon-
stitutional, these sections on Chi
nese or Mongolians still remain in
the California Constitution, and
passage of Assembly Constitutional
Amendment So would repeal these
sections.

Newsmen Keen on Nisei Vet Picture

A reception for cabinet. govern

al leaders and top armed forces per-
sonalities invited to the premiere
was held in the nearby National
Press Club before the showing. I'M
mediately after this affair, the
Presidents Own" honor guard unit
formed double line from the Press
club building to the theater through
which the dignitaries passed en-
route to the performance.
On stage, screen lovely Esther
Williams presented three of the
shows Nisei heroes, Akira Fukuna-
ga, Ken K. Okamoto and George
Mkt, all of whom came here from
Hawaii, especially for the premiere,
Miss Williams then presented Mike
Masaoka, national JACL ADO legis-
lative director and a special consul
tant on the picture. He, in turn,
told briefly the interest of the 442nd
veterans in the picture, and pre-
scented a scroll from the veterans to
Pirosh.
Major General Lawton, repre-
senting the Department of the Ar
my, also presented citation of me-
rit to Pirosh for his work on the
film.
The 100-piece U. s. Army field
band was on hand, parading
through the theater and up to the
stage to give the opening a specta-
Guar splash of martial color.
And when the ceremonies ended,
and the picture had run its course,
why then one could sense in the
friendly warmth of the audience
that Hollywood had succeeded, in a
wonderfully entertaining way, of
translating a message about the Nj
sci once delivered by the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Ame-
ricanism is a matter of mind and
heart. Americanism is not, and ne
yer was, a matter of race or an
cestry".
AS Critic Coe put it:
Since it would be impossible to
say this any more clearly or truth
fully, the film lets the record (of the
NiseD speak for itself"
