First OF lis Kind
In United States

A unique residence club designed
to accommodate 500 women of al
races and faiths will be constructed
in Newark, N. j., within the next
few months. Already off the ar
chitects' drawing boards, the build
ing-to be named The Martha Mill
Ter Resident Clubs expected to
be the first of several similar resi-
dences throughout the country. Aim
of the club will be to provide mod
ern housing facilities for women
attracted to the New York :. New
Jersey area by its expanding. eco
nomic and educational opportuni-
ties.
Never in our history has there
been a more critical and urgent
need for adequate housing for
women" stated Mr.. Wilson w.
Woodbeck, president of the new
company, with headquarters at 23l
w. 149th ST., New York, N. Y. "At
present" he continued, lone out of
every three Negro women-many
OF them single-must work for a
living. 1t is our objective to give
these women a homelike atmos-
phere at rates we'll within their
budgets"
In addition to it's living accom-
modations = singles, doubles and
suites = the Club will provide
many other unusual features for
it's residents. Among them are:
physicians and dentists offices,
drug store, beauty salon, dress and
lingerie shop, concert hall, employ
ment agency, guest rooms, modern
cafeteria and snack bar. These
facilities will be an integral part
of the new residence.

finest examples of cooperation be-
tween liberal lawyers and scient-
ists."
He related that the association
presented the testimony of numer-
GUS expert witnesses from the fields
of psychology, psychiatry, sociology,
anthropology, and education as to
the harmful effects of segregation
and added that thirty-tWo top
flight social scientists filed memo
with the Supreme Court docu-
menting these effects.
Marshall paid tribute to the
plaintiffs in the cases and to the
NAACP branches and state confer
ences that supported them, all Of
whom he praised for their courage
in the face of every type of threat
from white supremacists.
Roy Wilkins, NAACP adminiStra-
tor, told members that though the
association still operates at def
cit, the financial picture in 1852
was an improvement over the pre-
vious year. Gloster B. Current, di-
rector of branches, told of the
steady upward climb in member
ship and in the number of branches,
college chapters and youth councils.
LEGISLATIVE PICTURE
Clarence Mitchell, director of the
NAACP Washington Bureau, out
lined the hard fight ahead in the
battle for enactment of civil rights
legislation. He said that with north
ern and western Republicans re-
placing southern Democrats in
committee chairmanships. "it can
no longer be said that the South
is the chief stumbling block in the
path of civil rights. We must con-
tinue to turn the spotlight on the
members of Congress from north
ern and border states who have
the power to act if they want to
do So"

everything that is honorable TO

ton. He is right in saying that
BrOWnell KNOWS the Colored Re-
publican leaders. Perhaps it is be-
cause Brownell knows them so
well that many of them, includ-
ing the disturbed Washington cor
respondent, are worried.
If the Negro leaders didn't get
together and compose committee
and talk turkey with General
Eisenhower and campaign strateg-'
ist Herbert Brownell and name a
spokesman for the group to offer
the committees services in the
efforts to win the election for the.
COP candidate, l am afraid it is a
little late for the committee to get
organized.
From what we hear in New
York there is eXtant a most COM
prehensive file ON Negro Republi-
cans and their activities over the
years. Those who were not active
in the recent campaign, although
regular Republicans, will find
themselves on the number two list.
The key question is, Did he work
in the last campaign" If he did,
and rates a good spot, the feeling
is that he will get it without the
aiti of a committee.
1t ic all right for committees
of various kinds 10 call on the
general to seek his aid in legisla-
ton and executive action to help
improve the position of the Negro
in the United States. They are sure
to get a sympathetic hearing, and
our guess is that with General Els
enhoWer at the helm, the Negro
will make great progress toward
his goal of first-class citizenship.
But when it comes to grabbing
off patronage-that is another
question. Like one gal said to an
| in love with a rich guy as it is
with a poor one" And SO, the
| Republicans will find it as easy
to find a competent Republican
| with an armful of service stripes
as it is to find a smiling Democrat
with a tomahaWk or a scared Re-
publican who stayed on the fence
| waiting to see which way the wind
| blew
My Washington friend was right.
Herb Brownen KNOWS the Col
| ored Republican leaders.

; Grace Church Hall, the new
educational and reereationaI build
ing of Grace Methodist Church was
dedicated in special services in
the new building, Sunday afternoon
at three o'clock. The dedicatory
address was given by Rev. DR..
Ellis E. Coleman, chaplain of the
Veterans Hospital, at Brack-Ex,
near Wilmington.
Dr. Coleman based his remarks
on the Importance of Christian
education and teaching of the
Christian religion and emphasized
the fact that such training should
begin in the home. He decried
the apparent lack of widespread
religious training in the home, and
urged a deeper love of God and
our neighbOrs on the part of all.
The speaker called attention to
tho increasing number of classes
in religious training and instruction
in many of the larger colleges and
universities in the country. He
stated his conviction "The burden is
upon all of us to constantly teach
the religion of Jesus Christ, not
only to the youth but to all with
whom we come into contact" He
congratulated the members of
Grace Church and the community
for the hard work done in erecting
the Grace Church Hall. which is
dedicated to religious educational
and recTeatiOnal training of the
youth, not only of the church,
but the community.
DR.. Thomas c. Mulligan, pastor
of Grace Church, presided. He ex-
pressed his deep Joy and gratitude
to everyone who has contributed
time and money in the attainment
of a long felt need, and expressed
confidence in the service which the
building will provide for the COM
munity at large. A special musical
program was presented by the
vested Chancel and senior choirs
of the church, including a solo
"Bless this House." by Crawford
B. Holson and a duet, Count On
Me-" by Carole Enid Wilson and
Jeffery Zerby.
At the morning service i'm the
church, four new members were
received and a baptismal service
held for Robert James Pepper,
son of A2/c and Mrs. James Pepper
of Georgetown. At seven o'clock,
Sunday evening, members of the
church and church school gathered
in the recreational hall for a
covered dish supper and informal
service. DR.. Mulligan, the pastor
presided and William Boyce, OF
SeafOrd led in an Old-fashioned
hymn sing.
The new building is a two-story
brick structure, located on King
Street, in the rear of the church.
The second floor is divided into
IL class rooms for the church
school. Downstairs is the large
