 Tn a world beset with anxiety, prayers for peace dominated the l95l Easter .observances.
 Churches. - both Protestant and Catholic = were crowded through out the United States yesterday for solemn Good Friday services Stock Exchanges were closed in most countries
 Shops were filled with last min- ute. buyers of Easter finery
 In New York - filled with an influx of visitors - close watch was kept on weather prospects for the annual Fifth Avenue Parade.
 Francis Cardinal Spellman sent a message to the people behind the Iron Curtain saying that Americans would pray tomorrow that the cele- bration of Christs resurrection would be prophetic of your own delivery from persecution and en- slavement"
 In Jerusalem, before the door or the darkened Basilica of the Holy sepulchre, the Easter theme of the rebirth of Christ was enacted.

COWS VIEWS, TERRITORIAL
 RETIREMENT

In a letter to Secretary of Alaska Lew M. Williams, Governor Gruen- ing says:
 I am transmitting Senate Bill No. 53 for permanent filing. How ever, in order to clarify as far as possible the conflicting views on Territorial retirement, I am making the following comments on the sub ject:
 By this new Act the Territorial Public Employees Retirement Sys- tenn enacted by the Nineteenth Legislature two years ago will be re- placed by extending to the employees of the Territory and its polltlcai subdivisions and to their depend- ents and survivors, the basic protec- ton accorded to others by the Olo Age and Survivors Insurance sys- tenn embodied in the Social Secur- ity Act.
 In general. I feel that this step will represent an advance Ill pro- viding security for our employees only if supplemented by further legislative action. The Old Age ana Survivors Insurance is a family ln- surance plan which aims to proVioe the maximum coverage for the fam- ilv unit at the lowest cost. It IS a system which has the advantage of virtual universal coverage of all fields of employment. It is actuar- ially sound which means that 1unos for payment of benefits will be ever available from the Federal Treas ury. It has also had long operating experience, and provides basic pro lection at extrtmely low cost to the worker and to his employer.
 This system, however attempts to

Report Life K afts Seen,
 Downed Plane

SHANNON. Airport, March A - tP-- Forty planes criss-crossed the cold waters of the Atlantic today in a hunt for a giant United States Air Force transport with 53 persons aboard They were spurred by re- port that quite a few" life rafts had been sighted in the search area.
 Five ships were also steaming full speed for the area about 450 miles west of Ireland.
 An NEG broadcast from London quoted the British Admiralty as source for information that surviv- ors already were being picked up. The Admiralty denied it had issued such a report. It could not be con- firmed by the U. S. Navy in London or the U. s. Air Force mission at Shannon, either.
 A B29 pilot, in two dramatic radio messages, reported sighting flares, wreckage or life rafts in four different locations in the general search area.
 Aboard the missing plane which disappeared in fog and rain early yesterday was Brig. Gen. Paul T. Cullen, deputy commander of the U. s. Second Air Force, and four officers of the Strategic Air Com mand (SAC) headquarters at Omaha, Neb.
 The big missing transport = Globemaster II - was on flight from the United States to England. It carried a crew of five and AS passengers.

 EASIER WEATHER

Well-the prediction on weather for Easter Sunday is-mostly clou- dy, with showers. But, that does not mean one may stay at home and forget Easter services. Put on the old duds, hit the slippery side walks or order taxi, and go to church where special services are being held Might be able to make it between showers. Might also put on the glad things and trust to luck they will not be showered.

NEW YORK, Jan. IL - A call

throughout the country to parti-

airy Is, was issued this week by

Better Treatment Of
Minorities Will Help
us. Foreign Policy

CHICAGO - CAMP - I'm
provement of minority rights in
the United States will help Amer
lean foreign policy, particularly
in relation to the Far Feast, it
was declared here last week by
DR.. Charles S. Johnson, president
of Fisk university.
Speaking under the auspices of
the Sidney Hillman Foundation,
DIR. Johnson addressed an audi
ence at Mandel hall, the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
He gave three main factors in
Americas role in the world:
l. Recent u. S. Supreme court
decisions involving Negro citi-
zenship rights.
2. Importance of color in re-
lation to the rest of the world,
particularly to darker skinned
Asiatics.
8. The doctrine of human
rights is spreading throughout
the world.
Explaining to the audience how
democracy as practiced in the
United States affects its position
in the world, DR.. Johnson said:
"The new and sudden leader
ship role of the United States
now being challenged with such
sweeping force by elements of
Eastern society, and the some
what apathetic acceptance of it's
leadership by some European
countries, are making it urgent
and imperative that concrete ex-
amples of our own democratic
convictions be set now"
DR.. Johnson cited what he call
ed numerous gaps. Among them
were enforced racial segregation
in many public places, indirect
restrictive housing despite the
u. S. Supreme court ban against
racial restrictive covenants, lack
of enforcement of fair employ
ument practices laws, and viola
ton of civil rights.
The Fisk president concluded
with plea that the United States
has no guilt on its conscience in
reference to the practice of de-
mocracy. He said:
eve know that destiny is pres
sing hard upon us, that we must
abandon the luxury of gradual
ism, that what matters most now
is not only this change, but the
speed of this change"
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-01-20

/. Yesterday has passed with
all of its mistakes that are now
quite out of reach; but it is not
too late to start today to prac-
tice what you preach.
2. This is the toughest chal-
lenge that all mankind has to
recognize, and face; but richer is
he when he early finds that it's
practice which averts later I'M
happiness, tragedy and disgrace.
8. To many of us seem to take
this world as a circus tent just
to sit in and watch the actors,
but fail to realize that they must
perform as vital and important
characters.
4. The lower animals do well
their parts and act perfectly nat
ural, but isn't it sad when men
of high intelligence treat unfair
ly their brothers and become in
volved in scandal.
S. We are all preachers of a
certain kind, and men observe
what our actions portray - one
can't say one thing and do an
other, and expect the same fol-
lowers to stay.
6. The worlds ills cannot be
cured by oratorical gestures; the
panacea can only be applied by
true hearted, whole hearted
christian endeaVorS.
z. Even the unconverted man
to whom the ideals of Christ seem
quite out of reach, demands Of
those who are making pretence,
to practice what they preach.
8. 1t is not fair to society and
surely not to God to tell others
how to live and to do, when in
reality the one acting as a lead
er, himself is not true.
8. Talking, has always been
mans weakness; he likes to make
believe with his tongue and sell
dom will accent just criticism
when he is wrong.

Atlanta Raises
Salaries Of Negro
Nurses Up To Whites

ATLANTA - (ANP) - At
lanta Negro Public Health Nurses
employed by the city government
were granted equalization of SAL
aries with White nurses last week
when the city adopted its bud
get for the year 1851.
City Council finance commit
tee, which finally acquiesced to
the demands of the Negro nurses
after several years of petitioning,
recommended the parity to gen
eral council upon the urging of
Mayor William B. Hartsfield, who
last summer won his election by
a slim majority supplied him by
Negro voters.
The new salary schedule for
the 33 Negro nurses and IS
White nurses will be as follows:
Two Negro supervisors will be
raised from SITS to 1924 per
month to bring them to par with
the White supervisors; 81 nurses
will be raised from $126 to SITS
per month and 10 graduate
nurses will be raised from SIPS
to STAT per month.

Sentence Sermons
Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry For AMP

10. False pretenders are Gods
worst offenders and do more
harm than good; it is only God
who can decide their case, for
their religion is sadly miscon-
strued.
IL. When we all begin to fully
realize that the kingdom of God
will only come to earth thru the
Cody principles our lives re-
fleet and teach, then perhaps we
will see the imperative need o
practicing what we preach.
IL. Finally, it is indeed a glor-
ious honor to be acquainted with
God and be forever within His
reach, by serving him daily in
spirit and in truth and practicing
what we preach.

Radio Station A
Boon To Blues,
Spirituals Sales

ATLANTA - (ANP) Radio
station WEIRD, the first Negro
owned and operated radio station
has proved a stimulant to sales OF
records by Negro artists in the
Greater Atlanta area, according
to reports of a survey recently
conducted here.
In the survey, distributors, re-
tail houses, coin machine opera
tors, and others were asked what
effects has the stations constant
plugging of tunes by Negro art
lists had on the record and in
person appearances. In all in
stances, the answer was that the
station had boosted business ire
mendously.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-01-20

Before the advent of the one
year old station, only two radio
outlets out of nine played re-
cordings by Negro artists for an
hour daily. With Station WEIRD,
its seven-man disc jockey team
spins the same records all through
the day. Even dance promoters
have credited the station with in
creasing box-office sales when
they present Negro talent in per-
son.
The station is owned by ]. B.
Blayton ST., university professor,
banker and the states only Negro
certified accountant. It's disc joe.
key staff consists of Ken Wright,
