Brazil Pres. Signs
N 0 Discrimination
Bill! July 4th

RIO DE JANEIRO = (SNS) -
A new anti-discrimination law was
signed on July by Brazil's Presi-
dent Getullo Vargas. This new law
makes it a crime for hotels restau-
rants or schools to refuse admit
ance to any person because of race
or color.
The original Brazilian Constitu-
ton provides for equality for all,
There had been, however, no law to
enforce the constitutional provis-
ion. Katherine Durham, the not
ed dancer, was recently refused
admission to a hotel in San Paudo.
The new law was introduced in
to Congress because of number
of complaints against discrimina
tory practices in various parts of
the Country. The incident involv
ing Miss Durham was cited as
case in point.

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The United States, now the
leader of the Christian world, is
preaching Peace but it's heart is
not intellectually in it. In the
first place, the United States has
some little things like anti-lynch-
ing to wipe out, put the educa-
tlonal system on a democratic
basis, and to create a law where
by man may not be cast away
from his job or refused to be hired
because his face is black.
On the 25th of last month, Ko-
rea was invaded by the Commun-
lists. 1t was also significant-to
be sure, it was the 10th annivers-
airy of the issuance of Executive
Order 1902 by the late President
Roosevelt, establishing the Fair
Employment Practices Commits
sion.
The twin anniversaries provide
an opportunity to remind Ameri-
cans of the achievement of the
wartime FEPC, and to highlight
the need for a new executive or
der re-establishing the FEPC.
Here is a double opportunity for
Americans to administer a crush
ing blow to our adversaries' prop
uganda, which everywhere tireless-
ly exploits racial discrimination in
the United States.
In the United States preach
Peace to retain our freedom, it
must practice freedom to retain
Peace. 1t makes no difference
how much the other nations of the
world talk Peace, World Peace
will never come until the United
States come around to change of
heart that will inspire it to regard
all men as having been created
equal, regardless of their color or
race.

sion-the Supreme Court will have
to reverse the decisions of many
of the ablest justices who have
served on that court since segrega-
ton of the races was upheld in
1896.
"As to providing equal facilities
the state will do everything pos
sible to comply with the order of
the court.
Gov. Byrnes added that he
thought that the period of six
months was not enough time to
make the improvement in the Ne
gro school district.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
All the readers of the Advocate,
Pass your paper down the line,
And let your friends read every
week,
And see what God has put on my
mind.
Every reader of my poems each
week,
Drop the Editor a line or two
And tell him if you love to read
my poems
1t will make me feel brand new.
God has blessed me with this gift
to write
Of all true facts,
No way to enter Gods Heaven,
Unless we love both White and
Black.
Don't allow politics to rule Gods
house
Christ said for US to seperate,
So we have to seperate against sin
Before it is far too late.
V.
Jesus said to Peter to feed Ny
sheep
He didn't mention not Black
lamb
He said for us to love one another
If not our souls are damned.
VI.
Unless we obey the word of God
This goes for me and you
We got to be born of the Spirit
of God
And our hearts have to be new.
The Bible don't say fixed up
heart,
viii birth new heart in you;
Stop asking for a fixed up heart,
1t is brand new heart that will do.
VIII.
The Bible says, Don't add to OF
take away
Yet the world it loves and the
world
Has got into Gods house
Adding all the way
TX.
The Church that God is calling for,
How many will stand by the test
Hollowering Holy, Holy, Amen
A day won't give you Eternal Rest.

This is true despite the fact
that several of the affected states
have not admitted Negro students
to their universities and profess
sional schools. So as the Associa-
ton moves into the task of get
ting court rules against separate
schooling in the common schools,
it must still work for a consolida-
tion of effort on teacher salaries

accept the county attorney post a
year ago only on an interim basis
until the new commissioners had
oriented themselves with their
duties.
The county attorneys job is set
up as a part-time post and pays
