WASHINGTON is READY
FOR DEMOCRACY

st. Louis-If l should write a
letter to Democracy, USA" and
mail it to Washington-the Ma
tons capital, it would likely be
forwarded to some other American
city or be returned to its sender
marked, address Unknown"
The fact is that the City on the
Potomac does not practice "De-
mocracy Unlimited" On the other
hand, Washington, with it's bea-
composition in world affairs,
should be the known and adver-
tised capital of practiced democ-
racy.
Most important is the fact that
Washington is ready, for democ-
racy. This is undeniable. Since
live in Washington, know it to
be city of contradiction. But
its complimentary aspects are in
a majority key.
Without doubt, Washington is
really ready for democracy. and
one does not have to be there long
to sense this readiness among the
people. After all, it is among
the people that true democracy
must take its growth.
can point to many personal
experiences that are to me self
evident of the growing acceptance
of democracy in the District of
Columbia. Fresh in my mind, and
| contradictory too, is a recent case
I involving my wife and me.
We had shopped all morning in
a downtown department store.
! The natural desire for food drew
US to the stores snack counter,
were we awaited our turns for
seats. Once seated, we learned
that our money was good enough.
But if we wanted to be served,
we would have to move to another
section of the counter, where no
seats were provided. We elected
to sit it out, and for an hour and

half white" shoppers rushed
in at both sides of US.
No one seemed to be the least
bit concerned over our presence,
nor did anyone resentfully depart
or refuse service because we occu-
pied seats at that eat-counter.
People in Washington seem to be
too busy to worry over such minor
matters.
They eat in the government
cafeterias, at the YMCA, the bus
terminal, the Union Station, up
town drug stores and dinner clubs
without any notice of Negro pa
irons. They sit where they wish
on street cars and buses and share
taXicabs.
Thousands of people of the two
races work side-by- y-side in Uncle
Sans employment, and in private
and commercial service. Traffic
is directed by Negro policemen,
and many white" homes are saved
by colored fighters.
Some of Washington's first
class hotels serve Negroes in sup
port of their beliefs that color is
not a factor in their business.
While other such hotels have
turned away East Indians, for in
stance, for fear they might be ac-
commodating American Negroes.
What Washington needs is a
tangible program to give imple-
mentation to the democracy for
which it is ready. President Tru-
man was right when he said on
Christmas eve that democracy is
the harvest of faith"
| believe that Washington has
faith in democracy-"faith in ones
self, ones neighbors and faith in
God" Thru this faith, / am pos
tive can come brotherhood and
dignity of man. that would be
expressive in the Nations capital.
Washington needs only to exer-
else it's WISDOM" humanity
and courage" to bring to that
city the reality Of truly demo-
cratic Nations capital. The peo-
pie of D. C. are ready and it can
happen in this year.
AS a citizen of Washington
without any ties-of pressure, cali
upon Mr.. Truman to use his ex-
ecutive influence to prompt the
coming of fuller democracy to
Washington-the city to which
all the Free World looks for guild
ance in this age of crisis.
Therefore, / hunbly call upon
the President of the United States
to make one of his first official
acts of 1851 that of the appoint
ment Of a Presidential Commits

Noted vioIinist
AT AIeorn

Kemper Harreld, violinist, gave
delightful recital at Alcorn A.
& M. College, January 9, 1851, at
s o'clock.
The program was divided into
two parts-the first division con-
tanned two masterpieces. These
numbers were as follows: Sonata
in D, by Handel; which is in four
movements: adagio, allegro, lar
ghetto, and allegro. The second
number was the ever popular Con-
conto in E Minor by Mendels-
Sohn.

the musical elect as has this con

Here classical purity of style
and perfection of formal aspects
unite with spontaneous melody.
fertility of romantic imagination,
marked personal expression, and
also the elfin lightness of touch
that was, perhaps Mendelssohn's
most salient and charming gift.
After the intermission, all the
numbers were shorter. Mr.. Har-

in those numbers to the delight
of his audience. The following
numbers composed the last half of
his program: Romance, Wieniaw-

HE 10 LOfL Il
The white man preached to the
slaves
About what his master said he
stole
He would always preach hell to
the slaves
And about it burning his soul.
He never did preach Jesus to them
He never made them acquainted
with Christ
He would always say be humble to
your master
And your master will give you a
wife.
His text was. stealing and humble
ness
Don't steal and be humble to man
! Our ships are bringing you to this
country
And this is your Promise Land.
/ We promised to feed you and cloth
you
We paid the price for you as a
mule
You must honor your mistress and
master
And abide by your masters rule.
He planted hedges for his fence
And said be humble, get religion
its all right
But don't try to seek for Jesus
Because Jesus is for all the
whites.
Now this kind of doctrine they tell
me
Was preached to the slaves be-
cause they didn't know
Obey your mistress and master
And everyone chop out his row.
Now the ship is going back to Afri-
ca
To bring all of you a husband
and wife
Of course your master will be at
the landing
To receive them and that's a
great life.
Now don't be hasty for husbands
Nor be hasty for wife
Your mother will raise some young
er ones
So you can pick out and live
better life.
In my conclusion be humble
And getting religion is fine
1t will make you obey your master
And all of your children will
mind.

That rests on His Throne on high
Has broken the gates flat down

plaining his technique of enamel
ing metal
Witt artist training both in
America and abroad. Mr.. Winter
has put new life into a craft that
dates back to ancient Egyptian
civilization.
He uses his decorative enamel
work on copper and steel. The
operation of fusing enamel and
copper is simple enough, he eX-
planned.
The process consists of apply
irg veiy fine ground glass enamel
to the metal object. The object
is then fired in furnace at a
temperature of $500 degrees. This
heat fuses the enamel to the metal
and the two become one"
Mr.. Winter said the limitless
number of designs that can be
engraved on the enamel metal
combination depends on the in
divdual artists ingenuity. He
added that some 200 or 800 color
shades can be used.
He is credited with being the
first United States artist to APP
ply the enameling of metal
process to large objects. Before,
this operation had been applied
only to ash trays and jewelry-

such as rings, brooches and cuff
links. he said,
IF you can use the enamel
process on small ash tray, why
can't you cover the side of a
building with it." he reasoned.
To date he has produced so
enamel panels and murals, IS on
steel and Is on copper. In 194I,
the Government asked him to do
a mural for a post Office in Mis-
souri,. His work also adorns the
front of restaurants and public
buildings and is used for orna-
mental purposes on various types
of furniture and numerous other
objects.
