You Don't Have To Be White To Be An
American SloganFor Better
Race Relations

What has already developed as wholesome result
OF the decision of the United States Supreme Court in
the public school cases. and in other cases declaring
segregation by law unconstitutional is the widespread
and growing search after knowledge Of and discussion
of the Constitution of the United States it's meaning and
interpretation and the widespread search after know
edge Of and discussion of what has become known his
torcay as the great American idea and ideal develop
ment perhaps unknown in the history of this country
during the period Immediately before and after adoption
of the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
originally designed to bestow full citizenship following
slavery, upon the American Negro.
What appears as the most significant and timely
statement in regards to the Constitution and the great
American idea and ideal in this period of tense and
certain relation in the South we'll in the rest
of the nation resulting from the recent decisions of the
United States Supreme Court is the statement by
DR.. George E. Haynes Negro Professor of the City Col
ege Of New York who said, We need to get across to
everybody that you don't have to be white to be
American"
What has done more than anything in its past his
tory to bemish and reard the fullest development of the
great American idea and ideal and to prevent the spread
and acceptance of the American idea of democracy
throughout the world, is the preachments of onehun
percent Americansn coming from certain groups,
carrying the studied implication that only those of the
white caucasian protestants have the right to the
claim of being one hundred percent American. This
despite the fact that from it's beginning the population
of the United States made of people of all races coors
and creeds coming from all the world who answered
the call and promise, which is the foundation of Ameri
Democracy eve hold these truths to be self
evident. that all Created Equal
The dominance of the idea of one hundred percent
Americanism those who do not qualify and who
therefore rejects the idea directly responsible for the
call for Indignation in the public schools fact that has
given voice to white leaders, who angered by the court
decisions are demanding that the Negro be given nothing
at ALL and which has given voice to Negro Leaders who
are demanding for the Negro all-ornothng for the
Negro as result Of the court decision Thus situation
has developed which has already played havoc with Ne
grO-white relations particularly in the South but not
without its unwhoesome results in other sections of the
country.
It should be easily evident to every thinking citi-
zen Negro and white especially those whites who claim
to qualify one hundred percent American that what
is needed at this time particularly in the South is all
out offensive for better relations.
In view of the conditions and times there be
better slogan for nationwide campaign for better
Race-Relations, than this satemen-"You Don't have
to be white man to be an American"

BE Hiatt YOU CLAIM TO BE
Look for me every week
Jesus Christ is my guide
l am giving the people the whole
truth
And | have nothing to hide.
If Jesus had not given His life
To save all believing on Him as
we'll
The lords and the kings would
still be here
With their heatless burning hell.
The world was worshiping idol
gods
Before Jesus came to fulfill
He took the heat out of the fire
of furnace
Against old Nebuchenezzar's will.
Education will make better world
If you would obey Gods word and
train
Train your child the way he should
go
Father and mother you are to
blame.
Mothers in church hollering I've
been redeemed
Daughters in the movies hollering
look at the screen
Fathers in the church hollering l
am living the life
Sons in the jukes hollering shoot
them dice.
Jesus did not die just for one race
Nor did He die for two
You tell me in Your Holy Word
All who would believe on you.
You said those that believe not
on You
It would not be so we'll
And the meaning Of those words
Their souls are doomed to hell.
Why do / express the word He'll
Because Jesus, Christ is my guide
He said for me to preach His

There is Heaven and He'll in the
Bible
In Heaven is eternal rest as we'll
But when you fail to accept Jesus
Christ
Your soul is doomed to a burning

How can you live in sin today
And own a part in Jesus Christ
And never been born of the spirit
of God
In He'll you have lost your life.

Study Reveals
Negro IIIegitimacy
3 To 10 Times
Above Whites

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Aug. 81 -
Legitimate birth occurs among
Negroes 8 to 10 times more oftener
than among whites, study of the
Memphis Community Councils Ne
gro Welfare committee, headed by
LeMoyne college instructor Mar
telle Triggs, has disclosed.
Stun areas are a major factor
in the high illegitimacy rate, the
study, which recommended r.
point program to improve the sit
uation, set forth.
Other causes outlined were: fam
lily and sex relation breakdown due
to migration from farm to city
areas; cultural patterns inherited
from slavery" lack of consistent
law enforcement; disorganization
of families by war and military pre-
paredness.
The study recommends that
whites be educated on the import
ance of treating sex and family
relations among Negroes with the
"same regard and constructive con-
Germ" as those of whites. This
negative attitude of whites is re-
sponsible for the wide disparity in
law enforcement in Negro and
white communities, the study said.
The study also recommended a
special educational program direct
ed toward the Negro community
''for the upbuilding of positive at
titudes toward wholesome and en-
during family life"
The study recommended a per-
manent organization with trained
personnel to attack the problem
on q long range, large-scale basis,
such as the Family Service; and
also recommended that the Men,

New Housing Law
Makes Loans
Easier For Vets
With G-I Homes

Veterans should find it easier
to get supplemental loans for ma
jor alterations, repairs and i'm
provements to their CT homes as
result of the Housing Act of 1854
and new Veterans Administrator
streamlined procedures, VA an
nounced today.
The Housing Act, which became
law on August 2, 1854, makes it
possible for World War II and
post-Korea veterans to take ad-
vantage of any unused CT home
loan entitlement for home improve
ment loans.
To further encourage lenders to
make more such loans, VA now
will allow their veteran-borrowers
without getting clearance in ad-
vance from VA.
VA estimated that more than
100000 of the 1851 900 veterans
who have obtained CT home loans
have some home loan guaranty en-
titlement left. Previously, if a
veteran. had not used his maxi
mum guaranty entitlement of
$500, there were restrictions on
the balance. Now, with the pas
sage of the 1854 Housing Act,
there are no limitations on the use
Of any part Of the maximum guar
anty for home improvement loans.
VA emphasized that under the
amended CT bill, a supplemental
loan may be guaranteed or insured

Ma!an Party...

Continued from Page One)
ME any relation between South
west Africa and the United Nations
but has not to date declared the
mandate to have terminated. The
decision of the Nationalist party.
which is virtually without serious
electoral opposition in Southwest
Africa, evidently foreshadows the
South African Governments termi-
nation of the mandate, .declara-
ton of Southwest Africa's indie
pendence, and the tereritory's legal
unification with South Africa. =.
The Nationalist have stated that
they will unite Southwest Africa
with South Africa no matter what
the United Nations thinks about
it. A long step in the direction of
absorption of Southwest Africa into
the Union was taken in 1949 when
the territory was assigned six seats
in the South African Parliament.
In 1850 the International Court
of Justice at The Hague handed
down an opinion advising South
Africa that it was obligated to SUBJ
nit annual reports to the United
Nations and not undertake any
change in the status of mandate
without United Nations consent.
The South African Government re-
jected the opinion of the court.
The decision of the Nationalist
party on termination of the man
date is in response to declaration
of the small Opposition United
party of Southwest Africa. The
minority party has taken the at
titude that the mandate could not
be declared terminated until "the
supervisory powers agreed"
Both parties reject the principle
of the mandate that the native
population is to be prepared for
self government. There are about
| $4,000 whites in Southwest Africa
and $4,000 Negroes. About one
fourth to one-third are Germans
who have retained their language
and customs.
| The most important single eco
nomic undertaking in the territory
is the Tsumeb Mining Corporation,
which is American-controlle 1t is
the fourth largest lead producer i'll
the world and is fairly large
copper producer. The United States
operators have intensified opera
tions since they acquired the for
mer German property at the end of
the war from the South African
enemy property custodian.
Another major asset is the allu-
vial diamond fields in the south.
Coastal fisheries and thriving
Karakul skin trade are also sources
of wealth.
Southwest Africans enjoy some
what lighter taxes than paid in the
Union of South-Africa. The terri
torial assembly has somewhat
broader powers than the council of
a South African province.
! The impressions given by reports
from Southwest Africa is that the
whites are fairly contented with
things the way they are and regard
eventual absorption into South
Africa as inevitable.

by VA only if it covers repairs
necessary for the protection of the
property or will substantially i'm
prove the basic INABILITY or utility
of the property.
The VA move to allow lenders
to process home improvement loans
without VAS advance approval is
extended only to lenders who are
supervised by Federal or State
banking authorities. These lend
ers hold nearly IS percent of all
CT loans.
Non-supervised lenders and lend
ers who are not holders of the
primary mortgage must continue
to get VAS approval before pro-
cessing supplemental loans.
In another streamlining step, VA
will accept the appraisal of SUI
pervised lender on a home improve
ment loan or not more than $500.
VA obtains its own appraisal on
any loans over that amount. The
previous limit was 100000.
The new Housing Act coupled
with VAS new procedures should
stimulate CT home improvement
loans at time when many veterans
are thinking about improving or
expanding their homes, VA said.
Veterans have reduced their orig
inal loan debt and, according to
Government surveys, have increas-
ed their earning capacity. This
linked with larger families has in
creased the demand for home i'm
provement loans.
Veterans may obtain supplement
tai loans even though they do not
have any loan guaranty entitle-
ment remaining if the lender is
willing to make such loans. In
these cases, VA will not increase
the amount Of guaranty but will
rewrite the guaranty to cover the
! supplemental loan.

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 8. -
Promoter Marty Ross has crossed
cues with the billiard Congress
of America over the issue of
whether his scheduled tourna-
ment can name a new world
champion.
Ross says that even if it puts
him behind the eight ball with
the BOA. he's going to continue
billing his 11-day event that be-
gins here March Is as a world
championship tournament.
Willie Mosconi, the present
champion, hasn't defended the
title that he won March IL, 1858,
in San Francisco.
Ross claims that unless Mos
conf enters his tourney, Willie is
going to lose his championship
without even putting UP a fight.
j. John j. Canelli, Billiard Con-
gress secretary. said yesterday in
Toledo. Ohio. that Ross had
positively no authority to publi-
CHE any event as a world tourna-
ment without permission from
the BOA"
Ross said that the player con-
tracts for the tournament which
Mosconi won provide he must

at least a hundred solid blows.
Jones tore open a cut over
Dykes left eye in the eighth to
win that yound and the ninth.
The tenth meant the fight.
Dykes said the blood trickling
over his eye prevented him from
seeing the final two rights land

second time that Dykes had been
stopped in ITO pro fights. Johnny
Bratton flattened him in one
