BRIEF
SCENE
High and Lowdown"
BY BAILEE THOMAS

Out in Los Angeles the Second
Baptist church staged NAACP
rally and raised $500 in cash in
one day. This drive was to help
the organization in its Supreme
Court fight against Jim Crow
schools. The Californians do not
have any Jim Crow schools but
they want TO help rid the nation
of them. The church, pastored by
dynamic ]. Raymond Henderson,
points the way to how a wide
awake church congregation can
participate in a crusade planned
to help the people while they are
alive.
It's rumored that Mutual Secur-
ity Administrator Harold Stas-
sen. who this paper has lambasted
for years may take former Cover
nor Sherman Adams place with
the White House secretariat. They
are blaming Adams for the Ike"
nomination Of Byrnes. This new
Stassen development Is probably
keeping c. f. Newman awake
nights.
Insiders credit the Minneapolis
Star and Tribune's John Cowles
with President Eisenhower's in
creasing interest in minority prob.
lens, especially the Negro ques-
ton. During the election campaign
it is reported, Cowles urged the
Republican candidate of the nee
essity of taking bold stand on
racial equality for both domestic
and international welfare and
prestige.
Trouble in a Chicago housing
project reminds st. Paulites that
the housing developments in the
SANITY City are fully integrated
and there is no concentration of
Negro or other minority families
in any section of the projects. The
st. Paul Housing Authority was
alert, fair and just. As a result
there has been no problem that
could not be. met.
The Chicago authority has been
pussyfooting for three years aided
and abetted by a pussyfooting
mayor. The vacillation only en-
courage the native Fascists and
Tuesdays riots resulted.
The concensus of opinion of
those who viewed the Aquatennial
parades was that the two Negro
units were well uniformed this
year but that the pretty major
cites should be sent to a major
cite school to learn to walk,
prance and strut with grace on
parade. Let's face it, the Negro
lasses did not compare in grace
and poise with other majorette
units. The half-jitterbug step that
they seemed to be trying to do
was neither graceful nor rhyth-
mic. This column knows the fond
parents will raise the roof when
they read these lines, but the
truth is the truth. and only really
hurts when folks do not heed its
admonitions. These kids CAN be
trained.
