OF course we had TO stop and
ask about t. The wall paper was
50 different. We learned II was
the Gums game room. Game
room articles are featured in the
wall paper.
We saw so many lovely articles
we had 10 get up and look around.
We noticed a very beautiful table;
four shelf what-not that held
an ocean shell ash tray with a
pair Of pelicans looking to see
where you left your cigar ashes;
very lovely pitcher that has
been in the family more than a
hundred years; antique cups and
saucers; a tiny, tiny bell that
rings: a boot that was made In
Japan and a Japanese figurine
that was brought from Japan TO
Mrs. Gum.
Going into the living room a
very beautiful floral design over
the perma stone mantle piece is
quite attractive. Wondering "out
loud" how the flowers were put
there to form such q beautiful
design, we did not hesitate to
show our ignorance, Mrs. Gum
said the interior decorator cut
the flowers out, numbered them,
then pasted them on the wall, be-
ing very careful TO match each
leaf or petal and that made the
floral design.
The same design is over the
dining table in the dining room.

When asked whether she

After stating that she had spent
the entire Sc years Of her life

in this country, Senator Syming-
ton ID. Mo- asked IL she did not
feel that there were many white
people who had also fought for
the rights Of Negro people.
She said she knew there had
been white people fighting for the
rights Of her people, but she only
hoped that their efforts would be

suits little faster.

belonged to the wrong organiza-
ton twenty years ago. and they
must be sure their demands do not
run counter to other concerns of
the American public.
1t seems strange indeed to con-
template that all the leaders who
fought for the rights of Negroes
in the early part Of this century:
Monroe Trotter, Bishop Walters,
Bishop Derrick, Bishop Tanner
and so many others, would, If they
were living to-day, have to be
tested as to their patriotism. their
communism or their anti-commun-
ism, their subversion or their nom
subversion.
No such issue as communism
existed when these men lived, and
subversion did not even have the
political meaning it does today.
THE FIRST challenge if you
are to fight for the rights of your
people is to prove that
you are not Communist, a cryp-
to-Communist, a subversive or a
sympathizer. You must prove all
these things to the outstanding pa
triots CD of today before you can
even begin to fight for your peo-
pie.
However, there appears to be
room for even more concern on
another front. In respect to GER
tain crimes committed by large
numbers of Americans against
large numbers of other Ameri-
cans, we are cautioned that the
way to eliminate these crimes is
through education, persuasion, de.
velopment of a sense of citizenship
responsibility.
1t would be all right If we were
told that the foregoing were a.
mong the means to be used ir
combating crimes of discrimina'
ton which are based on religious
racial and color prejudice. But
that is not the fact.

the most exquisite miniature per-

There are over hundred of these

than an inch or two tall,
Among them are jewelled bot

complete with the wick and the

THE ADVOCATES of the meth


DDS named above are becoming the
vocal, aggressive antagonists of
the use of the law as a means of
eliminating the evil of discrimina-
ton. The law only causes more
trouble, they say.
The position taken by these adj
vocates of education and persua-
sion is dangerous and creates a
problem for Negro leadership and
Negroes themselves, because this
position is discerned as becoming
part of a political philosophy high
ly subscribed to,
More plainly, there are men and
women in powerful positions Of
political leadership at the present
present time who think they have
seen the cue and believe it to be
their responsibility to sell the AM
erican people on the thesis that
the use of law in the area of race
relations is nefarious.
They believe laws aimed at dis
elimination hit at the "inalienable
right" of Americans to be pre-
JUDGED If they wish.
They also contend that you
must prepare the public for the
law before you seek its enactment.
They point to the failure of pro-
hibition to prove this one.

On Sunday last, I was os
impressed by the services held
at Wheeler Chapel, I have ed
.cided to tell you about it. Mt.
Carmel CINE. Church on 62nd
and Ada streets, came out here
to Robbins in a bus to visit
with us. | could not help but
think that maybe this is the
remedy to one of our him
ORANGES to our progress as a
race; be it in the community
and the nation, or the whole
world as we'll.
We have been the pawn of
clannishness ever since the days
of slavery. The "o1e nassau"
would SOW the seeds among the
slaves by telling Tom that he
was better than Dick. Then he
would go to Dick and etll him
that he was better than Tom.
The result of this was conceit
and suspicion between Tom and
Dick. One did not trust the
the other and the cole NASSAU"
could rely and be assured as to
what went on between the two
He knew that both of them
would try to build up their own
egos and consequently find fa-
vor in the masters sight by tell
ing on the other. So we have
the so-called stool-pigeon.
We, as a race have got to
overcome this evil by eradicat-
ing this suspicion and conceit
and replace it with trust and
fellowship. In this way we will
know each others problems and
should help where we can. We
have got to break down this
wall of 'ho1ier than thou ideol-
ogy; come out of our individual
shells of conceit and venture
out and see how our brother
is doing.
China is a good example of
what I am trying to say. She
built wall around herself and
her culture and remained too
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1953-08-29

long behind that wall. Eventu-
ally, she found herself in the
throes of a war with nothing
to fight with or the know-how
to fight a modern war. All be-
cause of her international soil
tude of centuries before. Help
came to her with exploitation
as the price of services render
ed. The result, to this day, is
still exploitation by the great()
powers.
Had the spirit of fellowship
existed, China would have been
on economic par with any of
the nations of the world, espe-
cial1y since she is one If the
oldest.
Bringing the idea closer to
home, we as citizens Ct this
village have got to fellowship
with our neighbors; ouY own
churches have got to fellowship
with each other. Right here I
would like to say that our
churches are the most .clannish
in our whole society. This has
been and is finally placed in
the category Of pure nonsense.
Until e ent 1y Methodist
Church cooperating with a Bap
fist Church was strictly taboo;
a Baptist minister in a Method
ist pulpit was practically car
dinal sin. Each church looked
down on the other with disdain
and, both preaching the brother
hood of Man as a divine pre-
cept of Christian living. This
attitude certainly is not in har-
mony with the teachings and
tenets of their religion.
This idea of fellowship is ap-
plicable from the elast (famil-
ies) to the greatest (nations).
1t will help solve many of our
problems individually and COL
lectively. If this idea was para
mount in the minds of the
leaders of nations, it cannot be
denied, that wars would be held

ticular France, Germany and
England should go their Sepa-
rate ways, then it would be
necessary to give a little re-
thinking to Americas own
foreign policy in relation to
Western Europe" And our
friends across the Atlantic
quickly grasped the meaning
ominous to them-of the word
"rethinking."
Mr.. Dulles used even palmer
English when he referred to
the two shooting wars the
U. s. S. r. is waging by proxy
in Korea and Indo- China.
After explaining that these
wars were going on because the
Communists found them to
their advantage, he stated:
Gen. Eisenhower will find the
ways to make the enemy
change his mind in that respect
SO that they, too, will want
peace"
Neither our partners in what
once was styled q police
action" nor the men in
Moscow and Peiping could
have failed to notice that the
Secretary used the word Gen
eral" instead of President
Eisenhower" in that particular
sentence. The new adminiStra-
ton is on record as repudiating
the policy of containment of
its predecessor. What steps
will be taken to enforce a virile
policy in keeping with Amer
lean character and tradition
is OF course still a secret, since
it may concern military opera
tions. To our French friends,
however. these words must
have sounded like pleasant
music. While the majority Of
the French are loath even to
