We recommend that Congress
provide for a non-partisan study
of possible improvements in the
methods of nominating and
electing presidents and in the
laws relating to presidential
succession. Special attention
should be given to the problem
of assuring the widest possible
public participation IN presi-

strongly for worldwide free

Rights in furthering this and

Equal Rights Amendment:
We recommend and indorse for
submission to the Congress a
constitutional amendment pro-
viding equal rights for women.
Puerto Rico: Under Demo-
cratic Party leadership, a new
status has been developed for
Puerto Rico. This new status
is based on mutual consent and
common devotion to the. United
States, cormalized in a new
Puerto Rican constitution. We
welcome the dignity of the new

and pledge our support of the
commonwealth, its continued
development and growth.
Alaska and Hawaii: BY virtue
of their strategic geographical
locations. Alaska and Hawaii
are vital bastions in the Pa

contributed greatly to the well

Our country is founded on the

An Overhaul Job For Grandpa's Buggy
BY EARL

Grandfather's buggy and the Negro
college was the subject college dean used
when he spoke at a recent church gather
ing. He brought out the fact that Negro
colleges are as outdated as his GRANDPA
theirs buggy was after the first automobile
came on the scene The Negro colleges
were set up for Negroes who were fresh
out of slavery, free and ignorant, with the
main idea being to train them to use their
hands rather than their minds. This stemmed
from the white mans idea that the Negro
was something inferior with an inferior mind,
incapable of comprehending anything other
than common agriculture or manual work.
The dean further stated, Negro colleges
served their purpose in those days, but to-
day there should be American colleges for
American people instead of Negro colleges.
The Negro college, the dean stated, is not
the only symbol of grandfather's buggy;
he listed, Negro parks, Negro newspapers,
and Negro housing. 1t was also brought
out that one could not equalize the buggy
with the first auto merely by installing a
gro college would have the same signif-
canoe if an attempt would be made to equal
lie it with Harvard or Yale.
There was an attempted overhaul job
on grandfather's outdated buggy last week
when a young Negro couple were told to
find another location to eat a sandwich

toned organization is the NAACP, "lr
fact" he stated, I'll is evident :, that their
are more Negroes who think of the NAACF
as a source of at least potentially good ad
vice on politics than actually come oui
to vote on election day"
IF the As per cent of the Negroes who
named the NAACP can be taken as a rough
gauge of the size and extent of the protest
movement among our largest minority Mr..
Roper said, the protest sentiment has
not yet been fully converted into a protest at
the polls. One explanation of this might be
that Negroes have never been entirely or
gained in politics upto now Another
explanation is that in the South there are
still good many psychological barriers "a
gainst Negro voting. And in the North,
where there is a steady stream of arrivals
from the South, there is question of resi-
dence requirements before Negroes :. . can
qualify to vote"
The public opinion analyst concluded by
asserting that the Negro community Cannot
be ignored by the professional politicians
who must take responsibility for engineering
victory or defeat" and that "it is almost i'm
possible for candidate to straddle the civil
rights issue"
Arkansas State press., 1952-06-27

The Negro vote is perfectly capable of
swinging the 1852 presidential election in
either direction, and the position of the Ma
tional Association for the Advancement of
Colored People on political matters is held in
respect by at least forty-five per cent of Ne
groes-these were the two most noteworthy
points stressed by Elmo Roper, noted public
opinion analyst, in his regular Sunday after
noon broadcast June % over the facilities of
the National Broadcasting Company.
Probably no other group in America is
as conscious of a single issue, and votes ae-
cording to that single issue as the Negroes
do on discrimination and civil rights" Mr..
Roper stated. Emphasizing that the margin
of votes among Negroes in the eight largest
states of the north for the pro-civil rights
candidate in the last election far exceeded
the margin by which he was elected, Mr..
Roper said: This means that the Negro
vote in the north can indeed, be a marginal
difference between victory and defeat for
one party Or the other /. it is a fact and
not myth that the Negro vote can swing it
either way"

weight with Negro voters, Mr.. Roper report

SexAnd War;
BY |. Baynard Whitney

Sex has always been a problem appearing
in many forms according to national custom
and human circumstances. AT times the pro-
blem becomes acute in certain cities and ma
tons of the world, and in time of war; es-
pecially world war; it becomes intense and
universal
Sex practices vary from nation to na-
ton. often from city to city. Today's Ameri-
ca seems TO have gone sex crazy.
Sex is used to sell everything from nuts
to nylons, from buttons to beauty. Boy todd
lers are taught to wolf-whistle at their mo-
TIERS knee and too many girls become
mothers before they finish high school
1t has been written that France fell in
World War II for paying too much attention
to lingerie, Is America paying too much at
tention to cheesecake?
One of the most alarming elements in
our nations decline is the increase of sex

At Asilomar this weekend $50 delegates
from West Coast chapters of the National
Association for the Advancement Of Colored
People are meeting to plan participation in
the battle of ballots at this years presiden-
tial election.
The gathering is significant of the
growing activity of the Negro community in
affairs of the nation. The NAACP is the
pioneer organization in America devoted to
promoting recognition of the constitutional
rights of colored people to share fully the
fruits of American democracy.
It's success has been remarkable, Many
significant court cases have been instituted
by the organization and carried successfully
through the U. S. Supreme Court. In the
last 10 years 10 decisions of that court have
favorably ruled on civil rights for Negroes,
such as their right to sit on juries, right to
REIMBURSEMENT, right to equal educational
OPPORTUNITIES, right to segregation. etc.
Most notable progress has been made in
the South, where the old barriers have been
broken down in many cases. Negro students
are now admitted to the universities of West
Virginia Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Louis
lana, Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky.

mounted the dais of the Abyssinian Baptist
church. The mterdenominational Ministers
of New York had chosen this day in New

Franklin d. Roosevelt Memorial Medal.
The singing was with feeling and force.
No melody was lost and the singers seemed
to mean what they sang, Most of them were
in favor of browning j. Waites Waring Lord
of ALL" If not all Americans, at least
Lord of all southerners. Had not this UNI

and decide in Favor of Negroes voting in

Those of us assembled at the Abyssinian
church were there to pay tribute to a great
man. This event was simply one of many
honoring Judge Warning. Since his decision
making it legal for Negroes to vote in
South Carolina, progressves have acknow-
lodged him and feted him many times. They
acclaim him as a great southerner and
