My God! My God! please help me
To preach your holy word today
The world has gotten into Gods
house
And leading this young race astray.
We will never save this world of
sin
With Atomic Bombs and Guns
We have got to obey the program
of God
And allow his will to be done.
That artful day is near at hand
My God, please hear my cry
Give me the power to preach thy
word
And bid the sins of this world
goodby.
My mothers prayers saved me
She taught me the way | should go
She taught me there was only one
God
The Lord, God above and no more.
The training of my mother you see
it lives in my heart each day
Sin | won't be with you always
Sooner or later | am going away.
SO now she had bid us all goodby
Fights sons and one daughter left
behind
A father also left with us
To keep us on the main line.
Now our father has passed and
Five brothers | will say also
am the oldest brother left here
behind
And | trust God | will chop out
my row.
| am determined to preach Gods
holy word
And lift Jesus up everywhere go
Fight no churches, creed or kind
And the salvation of God is my
shore.
Fearless times we are living in
This young race now REBELS
Nightspot lovers most everywhere
And juking their way to He'll.
Unless we love we one another
We might as well say goodby
We cannot live in sin down here
And go to Gods heaven when we
die.

The Job Is On Our Shoulders

unprecedented publicity in the daily press of recent

neglected Negro community feel like they belong in the

people know that too credtaby figure in the on

on mutual dignity and respect Such publicity also aids
in changing the stereotype thinking white people usually
indulge about Negroes For in the past they have been

Negro life and that the bad side.

Bonded Whisky Bill
SheIved by Senator'S
BY the Asseeiuted Press

The Senate Finance Commit
tee has shelyed a House-passed
bill to permit distilled spirits to
be kept in bonded warehouses
for IL years, instead of eight,
without payment of the Federal
alcohol tax.
Chairman Millikin told re-
porters after a closed meeting
of the committee yesterday that
the members had voted to post
pone action on the bill indefi-
nitely.
A House Ways and Means Com
mittee report said in urging en-
actment Of the bill that is was
necessary Ito ease a serious sit
uation" in the liquor industry
resulting from excessive stocks
of distilled spirits in bonded
storage.
Unless the period in which Ii
quor could be kept in warehouses
without payment of taxes were
extended, the House group said,
orderly marketing of the dis
titled spirits forced out of bond
will be impossible and serious
financial hardship may result to
many members of the industry" ."

Vast Soviet Cleanup
Expected 10 Reach
Into Army Soon
By WiIIiom 1. Ryan

Associated Press Foreign New. Analyst
Moscow's purge of two Interior
Ministers in key states of the
Soviet Union looks like the first
step in a vast cleanup which
will touch every one of the is
republics. 1t also indicates the
purge may soon reach into the
ranks of the Soviet army.
These Interior Ministers do
not correspond to the Secretary
Of Interior in the United States.
They have control of policing
and related activities.
Interior Ministers installed in
the shakeups following Stalin's
death now apparently are going
to be purged as adherents of
deposed Lavrenti P. Beria. who
was Interior Minister of the
whole U. S. S. r.
At Height in April.
Soviet announcements of the
purge of Interior Ministers in
Georgia and the Ukraine indi-
cate that the struggle for power
was at a violent height in April.
when great power apparently
was welded by Beria. He was
strong enough to clean out the
Security Ministers and impose
his own men. This Is one of the
principal charges broug IN t
against him in the bill of partic-
ulars filed with the Communist
Party Central Committee by
Premier Georgi Malenkov.
Both Pavel Y. Meshik, Interior
Minister of the Ukraine, and
Vladimir G. Dekanozov, Interior
Minister of Georgia, Beria's
home republic, were appointed
III AP1 IL. 4AIC POWCA VI UA4C NVAA-
trail Interior Ministry under
Beria and of the republic minis
tries was vastly increased in a
merger which combined the Min
istries of Interior and Security
under single chiefs.
Others Facing Trouble.
Other IBERIA men" in the re-
publics now face quick dismissal
and probably much worse. They
include at least eight interior
ministers whose appointments
were announced in April. Un-
doubtedly similar appointments
were made in other republics.
All probably are going to be
accused of tanning nationalist
feelings-that is, resistance to
Great Russian the Soviet re-
publicS.
The course of the purge indi-
Gates the Communist Party with
the aid of what Pravda now
calls "the army Communists"

Bus Drivers Walk Out
In Columbus, Ohio
BY the Associatsd Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 49,
Bus drivers today struck the
Columbus Transit Co., leaving
this capital city of 375,000 with
out it's main means of public
transportation.
The CIO workers walked of
their jobs when the city govern
ment and the company failed to
agree on a new fare increase.
The city voted the company a
one-cent increase to II cents, but
the company held out for a cost
of-service franchise.
The drivers were making an
average of SITS an hour. But
1012 cents of this was recently
granted on the condition the city
would approve the company's
fare plan by today.
