Ordinary Citizens Are
Praised For Moral .
Stand On Race Case
BY Laureen White

New York (GIoba11 = The 19
white families who opposed the
discriminatory practices of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany deserve our applause. They
have helped to make America both
civilized and democratic.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company did not allow Negroe
tenants in their housing project
known as Stuyvesant Town. 1t
made no difference if the Negro
was a Ralph Bunche, a Benjamin
Mays, a Congressman Powell or
any other individual who is max
ing worth while contribution TO
the world in which we live. If he
were Negro he simply could not
live in Stuyvesant Town.
The attitude is, of course, both
undemocratic and uncivilized. Here
is why: A white man who was a
spy for a foreign government, or
a Communist, or criminal would
be acceptable in the project if he
could conceal his identity. (Any Of
those mentioned could conceal his
identity easier than a Negro could
conceal his) According to the
rule followed by The Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, a foreign
spy from an enemy country could
get an apartment in Stuyvesant
Town before Benjamin Mays or
Ralph Bunche.
It doesn't take a master mind
to see the stupidity and unfairness
Of the position the great Metro
politan takes. The 10 families who
rebelled against the practices of
Metropolitan are doing that COM
pany a favor, the Negroes who are
being Disseminated against a fa-
vor, and the country at large a
favor.
. When we sing the praises of John
Brown, William Lloyd Garrison,
Charles Sumner and the innumer-
able other liberals who struggled
and strained to make democracy
reality, let us think of some
present-day liberals. The 10 white
families who defied the rich and
powerful Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company and helped to get
Negroes place to live in that
project, also deserve our thanks.

To The Editor of the
Arizona Sun


Advancement of Colored People is
and I know it to be fact, one
of the greatest organizations in
the world today. It has served in
a way no other organization has.
It has come to the aid of the Col
ored man when no other organiZa-
ton would, or may l say could.
I think it deserves the good wishes
of all Colored people in America.
If it has the good wishes of other
races we'll and good, but every Ne
gro should hold membership in
the NAACP.
Various other bodies have pledged
to support this great organization.
Among these were the Negro
churches which are serving as
meeting places, place to campaign
for membership, etc. Therefore, I
think if the church which is with
out a doubt the largest organized
body in the world is going to sup
port this great organization, then
it should have something to say
about it's conduct.
Here in Phoenix the NAACP
could become powerful organiza
ton, and l think 1 am fairly safe
i'll saying so for I have had men,
bership in the states of Kansas,
Missouri, Tennessee and Oklahoma,
which acqWaints me with it's pro-
gram. Here, there is a segment
within the body which l think has
no love or respect for the organi-
zation, and should be retired from
their positions at once by the prop
er authority. Now, 1 think, that
If one is to represent the organi-
zation, then his or her personal
interest should be secondary, but
that has not been the case with
our Phoenix branch. Why should
this be? He who doesn't respect
himself will not respect others.
People who feels they know all the
answers have always been destruc-
tive to organizations. Our branch
of the NAACP has fallen into that
deplorable situation, I am afraid.
Those who deem it smart to use
unpopular words Course WordS),
and drink unpopular drinks (whis-
key, beer or Wine) while the board
meeting is in session, should be
kicked out at once. If our religious
organizations are going to be spon-
sors of the NAACP, l, Rev. L. ].
Harper, want to register my most
vigorous protest to this kind Of
action. .,

is right and just in the Phoenix

Electrical equipment is designed
for safe operation, but farm and
ranch operating conditions often
require extra safeguards to prevent
hair-raiSing shocks.
An operator of electrical equip
ment standing on damp ground or
on a wet cement floor acts as a
ground for the frame of the equip
ment, says Blaine M. Madden, ex-
tension agricultural engineer at
the University Of Arizona.
Washing machines, often oper-
ated with moist hands and on a
wet floor are a common source of
unpleasant and sometimes injurious
electrical shock.
A ground wire connected to the
frame of electrical equipment, such
as washing machines, will pre-
vent shocks to the operators.
Many pieces of electrical equip
ment have an extra wire coming
out of the side of the cord plug
for attaching to a ground connec-
ton. This wire can usually be
connected to ground by attaching
to one of the screws holding the
outlet cover plate in place.
Where no extra wire is provided,
a handy, homemade connection
will work as WELL Two battery
clamps and a length of No. 18 or
16 copper wire will make the con-
nection.
For general use on portable
equipment, such as electric drills,
the grounding cord will need to be
as long as the appliance cord. On
washing machines, cord attached
to the leg of the washing machine

Recorder Of Deeds
Firs ! Employees

Philadelphia (NNPA)-After in
vestigating charges of gambling in
his office, the Rev. Marshall L..
Shepard, Recorder of Deeds of
Philadelphia, last Thursday an
nounced the dismissal of seven en-
plcyees who were holdovers from
the Republican administration.
DR.. Shepard refused to disclose
whether the dismissed employees
were involved in the gambling ring,
which handled race horse and num-
bers bets not only in the Record
er's office but picked up such bets
in other offices in City Hall.
"All of the men were dismissed
for cause" said DR.. Shepard, ':but
II won't reveal the just cause at
this moment2 If they want to pro-
test the dismissal, we will then
bring forward the cause"
The dismissed employees includ-
ed Samuel Rothberg, So, who served
sixty days in Jail on charge of
possessing 100000 counterfeit, war;
time ration stamps. He was dis
missed from his job with the coun-
ty commissioners, but former Re-
corder of Deeds Charles j. Pom
mer, to whom he is related by
marriage, later hired him.
Of Rothberg, Dr. Shepard said:
because of his reported record, ne
is no longer a trusted employee of
the office" He added that he was
not implying that Rothberg or any
of the other six were directly con-
nected with his investigation of
gambling in the Recorders office.
DR.. Shepard, Democrat, who
took office January 7, said the
dismissals will be effective at the
close of business on March 10.

DANGER OF
FREEDOM
To The Editor of the
Arizona Sun

l am writing this letter in the
defense of the ministry, and Negro
womanhood. It has always been
my honest conviction that people
who have had special educational
advantages should be living ex-
amples for those who have not
been so we'll blessed. By this, I
mean we should always be able
to look for the best in the best.
I have always felt that when your
ministers, teachers, lawyers, doc
tors, social service workers, politi-
cal and civic leaders are together
in the community, you just about
have the cream of the community
regardless to the nature of the
occasion.
Upon the occasion of such meet
ing 1 do not feel that it is quite
fair for any one within that group
to insult the dignity of the other
with ungentlemanly remarks in his
storm-sweeping speeches in at
tempt to impose his thinking up
on others. 1 feel that any man who
must employ curse words to convey
his thoughts to others is a very
poor speaker. Curse words often
portray the lack of good moral
ethics on the part of the speaker
Any man who will stand upon
the floor in a committee meeting
in the presence of three ministers
and six ladies and use profane Ian
guage without apologizing is too
full of vain pride to ever be able
to serve the best interest of his
race. I fear that he is headed for
q sad tumble somewhere in life.
am quite sure that the concept
of what constitutes moral char
acters of a man like this, differs
from the Christian position COM
mon to the Christian ministry. 1t
is difficult for the ministry to up
hold the true concept of morality,
when men of influence seem to
have such little respect for the
rights of others. Danger lies ahead
for the race who must rely upon
men to uphold moral dignity and
do not believe whole heartedly in
the moral concepts of christianity
themselves.
am writing this letter because
Of what happened a few nights ago
at a committee meeting which I
attended to my sad regret in the
end. In this meeting we had three
of Phoenix's leading ministers, who
have spent hard earned money to
prepare themselves to serve in their
respective field, the same as others.
There were six ladies present who
represented the highest and best
we have in womanhood. 1, for one,
feel that it is high time for Negro
rnen to give women of their own
race a little more consideration,
most especially those who try to
live within the bounds of decency
and respect. I have attended meet
ings with this same group of peo-
pie, made up of people of other
races as we'll as our own, and the
dignity of the ministry and woman
hood was upheld. These same per-
sons who were all out of line at
the meeting of a few nights ago
with their language acted as de-
Gently as a house mouse at tam
cats convention"
The Negro who respects minis
ters and women of other races bet
ter than he does his own, is a mem
ace to human society, and is very
much of the Uncle Toms variety.
Wherever you meet him, he repre-
sents freedom out of control.

the MIG was "hit in several

E would be relocated on the
east side to end the present mer-
ger with Massachusetts avenue al

Much traffic wouldn't turn
