THE BIG ARGUMENT for strong.

Recommending him to the king. Is
that he was son of Jesse of Bethle,
hem.
A mans family IS not an impor-
ltant fact. Men do not often reach
high places merely on the reputa-
tion of their ancestors; but having
the right parents will make good
start.
This Is seriously true; for n
mans heredity IL what goes
into the making of his bone and
muscle, brain and nerves. The
kind Of place where a man lived
rs a boy. the kind of father he
1 had, spells volumes about the
! man. even years later.
I Can we forget that David was the
son OF a sheep-raneher, a boy who
grew up working out of doors?
That his parents were God-fearing
people?
Davids friend also mentioned his
playing the harp, No doubt David
did this as a recreation; he was no
professional musician, But his avo.
cation, his spare-tine enjoyment,
turned out to be the first rung on his
climb to fame. II is important to
know about any man: How does he
spend his spare time?

InAVIDS FRIEND, recommending
IL him for a position in the royal
court, spoke Of him as a mighty
man Of valor, and man of war"
This was an exaggerahon, for David
at that time had never seen mill
tary service, as the story in Samuel
shows.
I However, il was a good prophecy;
and so far as the valor went, II had
well been proved A man who can
take a bear by the beard and kill
him, may be a bit rash but he Is
certainly no coward. And what
muscles that young man must have
had! Never think Of David as a little
boy when he killed Goliath the
giant; he was an athlete better thar
most.
But David, unlike some ath-
Ieics, did not need a manager.
He was imam of war; or at
least the young friend who was
describing him thought he was;
and time proved him right.
Now II takes more than muscle &c

WithdraWS From
Councilmanic Race

One Of the greatest shocks that has come
to the City of Roanoke as we'll as TO me,
was the necessity of my withdrawing f ON
the coming councilmanic race. Not in the
history of the city of Roanoke have tie
people so completely adjusted themselves
t. elect Negro to the City Council. Both
the morning and afternoon daily papers
Demonstrated unusual friendliness toward
my candidacy for which I shall always be
sincerely grateful. The afternoon paper
carried an editorial that marked the most
friendly attitude toward the election of g
Negro to our City Council. Many of the
most outstanding business concerns, civic
and political leaders had gone to bat in
he interest of my candidacy. But when
my physician warned that the strain Of
the campaign, my church work and TIE
responsibilities of my newspaper could
mean sudden death to me- and said it was
suicide to even attempt to go through with
the added responsibility, had no other
alternative but to withdraw from the race
Just as dropped letter into the mail for
the daily press, announcing my withdraw
al from the race, l received a telephone
call from the Jefferson High Sch O |

crate program planned for date in Feb
ruary. had already received several in
vitations to attend luncheon meetings and
to address various civic, political and So
cial groups. The encouragement received
from both white and colored was unbe-
llevabIe.
When l came out of the hospital few
years ago, my physicians advised me to
take six months vacation from all oblga-
lions. Again l am showing many evidenc-
es of being overworked. While / may not
take six months rest, recognize the need
Of taking some. That shall do But cut

It's Easy to Revolt
When You Aren't on Line

AS between Gen. Bor-Komo-
roWski, on the one hand, and
Gen. Eisenhower on the other,
I think that Gen. Bor has a
better idea Of what is good for
Poland.
1t is awfully easy to urge re-
volt when you are not your
selves on the firing line-awful-
ly easy. and cynically irrespon-
sible.
Now, by way Of contrast,
take a look for a moment at the
Old Guards reaction to a pro-
posal which might be of some
real benefit to the men and
women behind the Iron Curtain.
One Of the great threats to hu-
manity today is the crime of
genocide-the crime practiced
by Nazi Germany and now by
the Soviet Union of trying to
obliterate whole races of people.
In Poland, for example, the
Communists have used the
method of wholesale execution,
as in the Katyn massacre. And
they have used the perhaps even
crueller method of deporting
whole populations for slave
labor and slower death.
The United Nations has been
trying to organize the con-
science Of the world against the
crime of genocide. And where
do the Republicans stand on
this? Senator Bricker of Ohio,
one of the bastions of the Old
Guard, recently persuaded As of
his Senate Republican coll
leagues to join him in spon-
soring q constitutional amend
ment. And one Of the main
effects of this amendment would
be to make it impossible for the
United Nations to sign an inter-
national convention against
genOcloe. O0 not ask me why
they do this. Ask the general
it's his Old Guard:
But I would say that our hope
for peace resides in our capacity
to help promote the strength
and unity Of freedom. Only as
the free nations are strong and
determined and united in their
purposes will the captive states
have a chance Of slipping their
bonds and regaining their free
dom.
And. If anything is clear, it
is that the statesmen-a word
sometimes used mostly in cour-
tesy-who would control the
Senate and the House in a Re-
publican Congress, have proved
by their records that they will
not support adequate programs
to build up our own strength
and the strength of our allies.
And I say, therefore, that how

Colorado and wyoming in 1914.
On the other hand, all but Mon
tana now have Republican Cover
norS.
Editors who have been feeling
political pulses now report deep
rooted sentiment for a change in
administrations. Newsmen detect
ed that same feeling in New York,
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Mary
land and Delaware.
The Associated Press survey in
dicates all five Middle Atlantic
States and their los electoral
votes might go Republican if the
election were held noW-and that
Gen. Eisenhower has gained in all
except New York in recent weeks.
In the West, as in the East,
however, record registrations and
prospects of a record vote raise
questions in the minds Of the sur
lveyors whether mid-October esti-
mates will hold good through
November 4.
Nobody knows how people regis
tering and voting for the first time
will cast their ballots. Both Dem
ocrats and Republicans claim a
big vote will help their side.
(Second in Q series.)

ever loud their words may be.
their actions are soft on Com
munism.
It is the Democratic Party
supported, be it said, by some
enlightened Republicans-which
is the party of strength. It is
therefore the Democratic Party
that alone holds out real hope
to the peoples behind the Iron
Curtain.
Turning now to the problems
we face here at home-do you
think that the great progress
Of the past 20 years will be car
ried forward by the Old Guard
the wreckers and "aginners"
who have been "agin" so long?
And what effect do you think
that a period Of reaction and
withdrawal at home will have
on the power and influence Of
communism in America?
Is the Old Guard in favor of
legislation to safeguard the
hard-won rights of working
men and women? Not on your
life.
Are these men in favor Of
public housing? Or of extend
ing and improving our social
security programs? Or of de-
veloping those great natural re-
sources which private industry
cannot or will not develop? Or
of finding some way to assure
the producers of dairy products
and fruits and other perishable
products of a fair return for
their labor? I wouldn't trust
them with these programs as
far as I could throw an ele-
phant. Name it and the Old
Guard opposes it. And ] think
that men who are so good at
opposition have earned the right
to stay right where the are
IN the OppoSltlon.
The only countries in the
world where the Communist
disease has made any serious
headway are those countries
where social and economic prog
ress has been slow and want
and misery are prevalent. The
strongest bulwarks against Com
munism in country after country
have been the free trade unions
and the farmers co-operatives
and the churches and the po-
litical parties that fight for
progress. For where there Is
progress. there is hope. and
where these is hope. no man
freely chooses this dreadful
tyranny.
And the Soviet masters have
been smart enough to figure
that out too-which is why they
rejoice whenever reaction comes
to power.
Earlier today I made a speech
at Notre Dame University in
Indiana. In that speech I dis
cussed the economic programs
which have been recommended
by the great leaders of the
Roman Catholic Church. The
Old Guard is stiA calling the
Democratic Party Communist
or pink or Socialist for backing
programs that Leo XIII recon-
mended 80 years ago.
And it is an odd and inter-
esting fact that the great lead
ers in every Christian church
have recognized for years and
years that Communism -four
ishes when men have just griev-
ances against their society
when they are denied equal
rights because Of racial or re-
ligious prejudice-when they
