Demos Avoided Issue of
'TideIands' Oil

Unlike the Republicans, who
expressed their support of state
ownership of ''tidelands" oil, the
Democrats took no position on
this important issue. This, despite
President Truman's twice having
vetoed legislation making a gift of
these federal lands to the states
of California, Texas and Louisi-
anna, and despite three u. S. Sup
RENE Court decisions upholding
federal ownership of offshore oil
lands. Apparently Democratic
inaction was aimed at not offend
ing the voters of the three states
in question.

Singled out by New Jersey group which is suppos-

too characteristic of the smear technique which nfests
the T. S. today.
An American Legion Auxiliary postponed" hear

The time has them to raise the question: what
is being subversive?
Is it subversive of our American traditions and
ideals for Negro woman to build school in the South
starting 1t dump heap and raising 1t by personal eff
forts than 40 years to accredited college
with properties worth than million dollars?
Is it subversive to employ remarkable administra
tive ability not for personal profit but to raise the lv
ing and educational standards of submerged section
of our population?
To speak with such conviction constantly in favor
OF peace and Justice and human rights that great lead
erS IN our Nation including two Presidents, have listen
ed and approved?
To live blameess life for four score years. accord
ing to the precepts of the Sermon the Mount carrying
out every step of the way the teachings of Jesus?
To make the campus of the school she founded site
where true democracy is ractced with bars raised
against anyone because of race color religion?
To love young people and serve as their leader
lifetime nsting in them the ideals of human broth
erhood?
To summon the leading women of the u S. in
conference whose aim the mobilization of all
everywhere in crusade for peace and understanding?
Or is it subversve to smear, without cause woman
of great achievement to humlate her publicly and to
interfere with her democratic right of free speech?
Those of us who have known Mary Mcleod Bethune
through the years. from the DAYS of her physical vgor
when she labored with her own hands, teaching by ex
ample we'll precept to today, when time has cut
down her physical forces and turned to the tresses
which frame her wonderful black face know the answer
to these questions without equivocation
In the fullest meaning of the word Mary Mcleod
Bethune has been and is true American in spirit and
in deed No can destroy the harvest of her life
time of service to her country Her record needs no
"checkup'
But episodes such as the attack made upon her in
New Jersey make fear for the ideals which have
been the basic philosophy of Nation Who is safe

Brooklyn - The African Metho-
dist Episcopal Zion Church in its
24tn Quadrennial at Mother Zion
Church here voted to elect only fout
bishops. Delegates also voted down
proposals to retire three bishops.
In voting the aoove action, the
church reasoned:
To retire three bishops and to
support an additional salary of II
bishops. with ole inactive bishop,
now would put financial burden
upon this church that would make
it very difficult for many pastors
and congregation to bear. especi-
ally in light of the impelling needs
of home missions, foreign missions,
Christian education, and widows
pensions.
Dr.. James W. Eichebergcrr of
tered the motion, and Mrs. Abbie

posal. Dr.. Eubank Tucker, Louis
vile, KY, opposed the motion. The
motion declare that no bishops were
to be retired.
The three bishops suggested for
retirement, but retained were Bis
hops John ". Martin, William C.
Brown and William w. Slade.
In supporting his proposal, Dr..
Wichelberger said:
each Of the active bishops is
competent in physical, mental and
spiritual fitness and wisdom to per
form duties of demands of his high
office. They have exemplified in
the years past that they not only
possed devotion to DUTY, but il
has been demonstrated by their re-
cord"

Unconverted money savers
Are driving the spirit of Goo
out of the Church
Failing to obey the VIII of God
It's the Will of man and his
hurt.
Gods Holy Bible tells US all the
same;
Jeremiah % chapter, Woe unto
the Pastors
That destroy and scatter the sheer
of my pasture!
Saith the Lord.
Is education leading my people to
hell?
Or are the pastors most the
blame?
1t looks like money is the root of it,
And it's low down dirty shame.
If we fail to obey the VIII of God,
| say, Lay down His Holy Word
Stop preaching false doctrines to
the people
And telling them that it is Gods
Word.
Money is the root Of all evil
When you save it both women
and men
The church is full of money savers
And it is going to be hell at
the end.
Church members are not ignorant
of the letter,
With degrees too wise to accept
Christ;
A very few thirsting for the Cos
pei
Because they haven't got Jesus
in their life.
You are adding to Gods program.
do you know it?
He said not to add or take away,
You are selling false doctrines to
the people
And calesting it on the Sabbath
Day.
The letter won't save my people,
It's good to have the letter, but
first Christ;
You have got to be born of the
Spirit of God
With the love of God in your
life.
You can be wise and be a fool,
1t takes the love of God in your
life
To make you love your neighbors
And a wonderful home for man
and wife.
Preachers you can't see my God
With three and four churches on
your hand;
You can't feed these people right
And make it to the Promised
Land.
