Twin City
ST. PETERS A.M.E. CHURCH


The audience seemed more wor-
shipful, the music by the choir
seemed more beautiful, the mini
ster appeared more radiant as he
led the worship; faces seemed
brighter; could it be that my at
titude of thankfulness and hap
piness on being back in my own
church after an absence of three
Sundays was the reason for all
this?
The sermon by the pastor, the
Rev. NJ. L. Simmons was a mas
terpiece in preparation and de-
livery and dealt with the exper-
fence of Isaiah in Isaiah IL. In
the Lord. The main emphasis of
the message was the Importance
of finding God in our lives.
Isaiah found Him after the King
UZziah who had INDUCED the
people in too many good thing
died. There was a yearning and
longing in Isaiah's heart for
something and he went to the
temple to pray. There he found
God and gave himself to a life of
great service for mankind. Some
take home thoughts-There is a
need in our lives that only God
can meet. Many people as did
Uzziah, make their greatest con-
tribution to life when they die.
AS did Isaiah, we must find God
who will give direction and guild
ance to all our talents.

Political expediency however
is believed to have reigned, and
the South was favored. Most dele
gates in the end seemed to feel
that in the coming election, the
Democrat party could not afford
to lose the electoral votes of even
one state in the Solid South" in
the coming election.
In creating a party platform,
Dawson constantly was the mid
dleman who talked both to south
erners and the liberals to help
them get together and keep the
party operating in unity. On the
date of presentation of the plat
form shortly before it was to be
presented to the convention,
Dawson received a standing ova-
ton from members of the plat
form committee, because of his
speech for unity. He said in part :
Last night the subcommittee
on civil rights met 20 hours for
perfecting the wording Of this
plank. Men on both sides worked
together for the good of the
party.
I'VE must respect the other
regard and appreciation of the
work Of the members Of this sub
committee who worked 20 hours. 4"
His impassioned plea brought
accord. Later, Sen. Spessard L.
Holland of Florida told reporters
that although he does not approve
Of civil rights. he agreed to the
plank because 1t contained no
offensive words and because of
what Dawson said. He comment
ed:
This plank sounds nice, but it
is not offensive. II does not in
clude such words as cloture, fill
buster and FEPC. said would
not file a minority report against
1t as 1t is written, although I
would not vote for such action"
Powell a Westerner Hold Out
Rep. Powell and Nicholas Gran
ct, white delegate and attorney
from Portland, Ore, held out the
longest for a more specific state
ment. Their efforts to gain
enough support to make a minor
ity report failed, however.
Despite his speech at the open
meeting, Dawson credits another
talk at a closed commItte as the
decisive one. He said he told OPP
posing factions:
you must respect the other
man. You cannot change him by
abuse. You must change his
thinking"
Many delegates agreed that the
approved plank was a strong one.
Miss Helen schrang Of Los An
geles and Lyle Cook Of Berkeley,
Calf. They called 1t a "fine state
ment" because It also included
demand for a change in the rule
for cloture.
Under rule %, the senate must
have 81 votes to end filibusters
which through the years have
blocked all civil rights legislation
reaching this body.

the Los Angeles Tribune, how

curSed-his critics calling him
too conservative, and his support
ers considering him a brilliant
dealer.
New Approach"
In explaining his actions, Rep.
Dawson said in an interview that
he was advocating a new ap-
proach by Negroes to gain the
civil rights they desire. He COM
mented:
There is a new day in this
country. We in America must get
rid of sectionalism in thinking.
We must back the men who will
stand up for their word. We Ne
groes must learn to handle men.
Every man wants to apear de-
cent to you"
OF the civil rights plank itself,
Dawson said:
Il am very proud of the thing
as q whole.
There were split reactions, with
most Of 1t favoring 1t, among Ne
gro delegates and alternates as TO
Just how strong the civil rights
plank is.
Inference VS.. Dlrectness
Under the approved platform,
the Democratic party took
stand by inference rather than by
direct statement. The plank calls
for no specific action by names
like FEPC. anti-lynching and
anti-poll tax laws and a change in
the rule for cloture.
Instead 1t does infer such
planks by asking the S3rd con-
gress ito improve congressional
procedures" so that a majority
can call for decisions without be-
ing blocked by a minority "in
either house." and also by calling
for federal legislation for equal
opportunity in employment, Sc
curity Of person (meaning anti
lynching and full and equaP par
tcipation in politics (meaning
anti-poll taxi.
Stronger Than COP Plank
This plank was not as strong as
the liberals" or young Turks"
Of the party such as Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell Of New York, Sen.
Hubert Humphrey OF Minnesota,
and Sen. Herbert Lehman of New
York wanted, but II was not near
ly as weak as desired by men of
the South. 1t was agreed, how
ever, that the platform is strong
er than the one approved in the
same hall two weeks ago by the
Republican party.
Dawson was rated by men on
both sides as the key man In
bringing unity to the party be-
fore the platform reached the
floor. These battles predicted the
coming floor battle in the conven-
ton in which southerners were
seated.
The battle over civil rights was
merely one phase OF the obvious
clash Of PHILOSOPHERS In the Demo-
cratic party. On one side was the
one for inclusion and compromise
with the South, and on the other,
exclusion Of any group that did
not agree to support the party
fully, regardless of Its candidate.

.TwO-Years College
Not Requisite for
Air Force Cadets

Master Sergeant Ed Brown, local
Army and Air Force recruiting
sergeant, announced today that
time in service and two years col
lege requirements for aviation
cadets have been Topped off so
that any airman with a high school
sheepskin is eligible to apply.
Revision of the qualifications,
just received by the local Recruit
ing Station, opens the gateway to
the wild-blue-yonder to hosts of
qualified high school graduates.
Under program launched, air.
men with a high school diploma
and eighteen months of active SER
vice were eligible to apply for pilot
training. But the new revlsions
of qualifications makes it possible
for an airman to apply while TAX
ing basic training. However, none
of the rigid mental and physical
reuirements for training have been
eased.

HYBRID SEED CORN

Hybrid seed corn may be scarce
in Maryland this spring. Adverse
weather conditions in midwestern
seed producing areas last year re-
duced the amount and quality of
hybrid seed corn growth there.
WSome wholesale seed dealers are
alloting their present supply to re-
tailers, according to ]. L. New
conner, assistant Extension agrono-
mist at the University Of Mary
land.
In addition to reducing seed corn
supply, the weather has lowered
the termination of some of the
seed.
Some corn seed that will not
m eet minimum requirements in
other States is being sent into
Maryland for sale, Mr.. Newcomer
warns.
As insurance against poo- seed,
check the seed tag. Seed tested be-
fore the present season is poor
risk. If the termination is less than
S5 percent, poor stand or weak
plants can be expected, Mr.. New
conner says.
