Recently Wesley Chapel church the Urban Ieapne

executive edltor or Arkansas largest daily prn-
epa speaker for the occasion and listened to Mr. Asmoe
auu the race on It's ability to remain dgnfied the face
mstreatments by white brothers in America and was in
compete accord But later during this address, began to
1rown and disagree (whn myself his philosophers For
heard MN state that you cannot legsae the hearts minds
OF peoples and that the full indignation equality of Negroes
must be SLOW educational process which gather will no doubt
take thousands of he world last so long, agree
a you cannot egsate the minds of peoples not ash
Tor the removal of anquaed unjust segregation laws in Ar
minds of peoples.
Mr. Ashmore stated further that he would not attempt to
ueend segregation religious moral grounds Frankly
don't know OF any other grounds worthy defending anything
realize that there practical side well as spiritual
ana moral side to this controversial question: but A
merica who boast of the rights the Justice and
Christianity and morality do enough religion enough
of high moral attitude belief justice and ecncy to a.
boish the existing laws of segregation discrimination we
are no better than those We point otaaran and mon
strous.
Why is that the State Department is spending precious
time and money preparing pamphlets and boadcasts
trae the iron curtain effort peoples behind
the curtain who have heard such lies America how de-
mocracy in America really works.? Well the sake of all
of let's hope the Department print 1.-THE truth the
whole truth and nothing but the truth for you know if it
does would bring all of the and wholly unjust fable
acts OF brutality transgression and inhnanty of the
can white man in the south upon the Negro.
Any true American, be he white black who loves his
country and who is in way human should the
words of Mrs Edith Sampson in Hot Springs Wednesday
evening" Mrs Sampson has Travelled over the world and has
brought back the clear warning that America changes her
race attitude and unless she renquhes of the worlds
foremost hypocrte all kiss freedom and democracy
goodbye
She has stated that America in her leadership TODAY
mainly because of the skinned people are treated
here What does this mean? 1t simply that America is
defeated land there definite chance of this especially with
us committing troops to the ends of the earh be because
the bigos and fascists led us down the to hell
When Edith Sampson declared this is day of decisions
she wasn't just kidding This truly day great and grave de-
cisions This is day in which wrong one false step
fins for each and every This would not
be tragic is II realized this because of the policy
of our few of know how vulnerable we are
Your radio newscaers only tell you the good side of the news
most OF the time You seldom get any all the other side
For instance how many white people besides those in the official
circles know that all of Asia watching the attitude of white
America toward black America? And who knows that in the event
of an immediate all out with Russia China the millions
of peoples India and other Asac countries may well on the
Communist people?
President Truman had better think twice before REFUSING n
review the of ynched rape in Virginia The
of Florida had better think allowing white
bgots in Florida who released white rapst a Negro woman
to railroad three innocent young Negro boys rape in that
Arkansas officials had better think twice
before executing another Negro who shows signs insanity
the murder of white man while freeing white man who slew
Negro the basis of temporary insanity The deaths these
Negroes America may well the deaths of the very men
who sentenced them and carried the executions
Yes there dangerous ahead upon the which
travelling We must judgment in making de-
csons. We must cautiously.
