One thing is definitely clear, however.

A Showdown On Segregation At Last

The United States Supreme Court is 90.
ing to rule on the all-important question of
whether segregation at the elementary
school level should be prohibited. The high.
est court, from which there is no appeal
will hand down a momentous decision be-
fore another year is gone which NAV affect
the entire school system in this country
north and south alike. The ruling this time
will not be based upon the question of equal
ity but upon segregation itself.
Thanks to the NAACp which continues
to press these education cases, making new
gain with each suit filed, the long-awated
opinion on whether or not segregation itself
should be outlawed is in the making.
We are in no position, of course, to pre-
dict what the Supreme Courts ruling will
be, but If the justices are consistent with
the famous decisions they handed down in
recent years and rule, as is their custom,

Intermarriage-

of one of the most famous interracidl mar.
riages since Frederick Douglas married He
len Pitts sixty-eight years ago. The very
popular and talented Poppy Cannon. wife of
the internationally famous Walter (NAACp)
White writes most fasenatingy of their
mixed marriage and its aftermaths in a ma.
tional magazine article.
The most encouraging thing about her
story is the fact that, after three years.
the circumstantial structure Of their lives
did not collapse after the first tremor. In
certain respects their foundations are
stronger than ever. Mrs. White is still
successful advertising executive and food
editor of Mademoisele. Mr. White is at the
zenith of his amazing career as executive
secretary of the NAACP. But three years
ago they both thought that crossing racial

of his thought.
Whether block-voting is bad for us as a
minority group, or whether voting solid is
good we would not essay to say, but what
we are more concerned about is, just what
does the editor want us to do. In 194S he
told us to not block our VOTE In 1949 he
told us to vote for one candidate. In 1850 he
told us again voting solid for one candidate
is not to our best interest. Again in 1851 he
told US to go all out for a certain candidate
Now in 1852, he comes out again in lengthy
article advising us against block voting.
Now just where does that leave us?
Arkansas State press., 1952-06-20

A contemporary of ours tells us every
other year to not block our votes. He tells
us that it is poor politics, and it is not to the
best interest of the races welfare, Now on
the other hand this same contemporary tells
us editorally every other year to vote solid
for certain candidate.
We are not questioning the logic of his
advice Neither are we commenting one way
or the other. But what we would like to
know, is the strategy of his reasoning. There
must be point in his two way advice. And
for US to be governed by his advice it is i'm

declaration they would realize how far we
have cotton away from the noble sentiments
that motivated those who wrote that immor-
tai instrument, All that is necessary
today in interpreting the American con-
stitution is to employ use of the
Golden Rule. Application of the Col
den Rule will eliminate all argument respect
ing civil rights and FEPC, it will end the
steel strike and bring tranquility and happi
ness to the farmer and every human being
who stands under the Stars and Stripes.
We doubt seriously that people general
ly in these days read the Declaration of In
dependence. Most students know those first
two paragraphs by heart, but we want our
readers to go back and get that instrument
and read the lengthy charges brought a.
ganst English royalty. As you read try to
see if the indictment made by early day A
mericans against the English king is not the
identical indictment minority groups bring
today against tyranny in our own land. This
shows how far government today has drift
ed from the detectives and yearning of the
founders.
Every speech you will hear in Okla
homa City at the 43rd annual conference
will be made by both men and women black
and white, who believing in the constitution,
seek to anchor society within the precincts
of liberty, justice and fair play
The colonists declared that they were
subjected to mock trials denial of trial by
jury, that their towns had been burned
and the Indians set upon them They were
denied representation and yet taxed heavily,
and they told of datory and fatiguing
tactics calculated to break their will and
make them subservient to the authority of
the Red Coats. The Declaration of hide
pendence is the finest index we know of
as to what was in the mind of those who
wrote that immortal document
There would not be anything such as
Jim crow and segregation anywhere in the
United States if those who administer our
laws would but hearken to the postulate,
"All men are created equal, that they are
endowed with certain unalenable rights
that among these are life liberty and the
pursuits of happiness"
Both Eisenhower and Taft Republi-
can candidates for president together with
Russell Of Georgia and Kefauver of Tennes-
see, could make good constitutional address
es If they would but address themselves
between now and November to that majestic
section of the Declaration of Independence
which grants to all men, irrespective of race
and color, complete equality, and the right
to seek peace, tranquility and happiness.
There will be white men at the okla
homa City convention, such as Senator Hum
phries, Arthur Reuther and a score of
others who will be preaching this gospel of
brotherhood and fair play June "a through
June %, and that is the reason why Okla
homa lawmakers and administrators, both
city, county and state, should take time out
to attend meeting where the zephyrs of
freedom are going to blow unfettered, and
truth will get a sincere hearing.

All Men Are Created Equa|"-

Just a few days more and Oklahoma
City will be entertaining perhaps the most
important convention to be held in the
United States this year, for after all, the
true name of the organization we will en-.
terrain is the National Association for
the Advancement of Everybody.
What does it matter to a man if he
gains the whole world and loses his own
soul? When we put this moral yardstick on
the NAACP it can be readily seen it in
actually means more to those in power than
1t does to minority groups. The world to-
day is in travail because men have used
power improperly. If the world had listen
ed to Halle Selassie at Geneva, things
would not be in the terrible fix we find them
in this world or if those who control this uni
verse had long time ago given serious
attention to the Biblical admoniton, Am l
my brothers keeper" we would have no
need for an organization such as the NAA
CP.
1t will do the souls of the governor the
mayors of our cities and all of those who
administer government to come out to the
day and night sessions of the NAACP to
make America more ideal place in which
to live. Both white and black men have COM
bined their efforts under the banner of the
NAACP to take democracy out of the ritual
and make it a living breathing thing here
in America and if America is to reclaim
the high prestige she had in PALMER days,
she is going to have to listen to words of
wisdom that will fall upon the ether dur
Ing the Oklahoma City conference.
Why is the world in strife today? Be-
cause of the evils of colonialism. Why is
Of the aftemaths of human slavery. HUI
manity today is in actuality gathering in
the harvest what it has sown.
1t was the mighty Lincoln who in his
second inaugural address said something
guide the destinies of the world for surely
those who have looted and destroyed the
patrimony of other people should realize
1T may seem strange that any men
should dare to ask just God assistance in
wringing their bread from the sweat of other
mems faces"
But that is precisely what men who call
themselves wise and full of wisdom are do
Ing today. In Asia, Africa and distant island
atolls for centuries dominant races have been
wringng their bread from the sweat of
others mems faces and in this moment of
great unrest among those who have been
despoiled and ruined, we find men asking
God in prayers and supplication to continue
a system that rests upon the assumption that
one human being is better than another.
The NAACP in 1852, and during its en-
tire forty-three years of its existence, has
preached the equality Of man. It has in
sisted that the American constitution, if in
terpreted properly and correctly, will bring
democracy and freedom to everyone Con-
stantly the NAACP reviews the Declaration
OF Independence and insists that If those to-
day would read carefully the indictment
brought against British royalty in that
