means to advance the Negro

"Yet, there are those
among us who say the time

ed the enjoyment of our
civil rights" "But, I say

passed since the issuance of
the Emancipation Proclama-
ton, the time is definitely
right"
Touching on the threats he
said were made by Governor
Byrnes of South Carolina
and Governor Talmage of
Georgia, that they would
cause the public school sys-
TENS of their states to be
abolished if the Supreme
Court bans racial segrega-
ton in public schools, Mar
| shall said he recalled that
Gov. Talmadge's father,
Gene Talmadge, having
made somewhat of a SINH
lar threat when the case in
volving racial segregation in
interstate bus and train
travel was before the Su-
preme Court. He said Gene
Ta)madge had threatened to
call out the state militia and
have it stop trains and bus
ses at Georgia's border
rather than permit Negroes
pass through the state riding
with whites. "Well," he
unused, 1--WE see the result
of that threat everyday. Ne
groes are riding trains and
BUSES through George and
throughout Dixie-without
incident"
Concluding his address,
Marshall noted that Negroes
are now enrolled in a num-
Der of Southern UNIVERSE
ties and colleges, but said
he was somewhat disap-
pointed over the fact that
few Negroes are taking adj
vantage of this opportunity.

Thurgood Marshall, famed

abroad, is seriously damag-
ing h er influence among
other nations as a world
leader.
Referring to racial strife
in this country, Marshall
declared that practically
every incident of violence
committed against Negroes
by white Americans is echo
ed around the world by Mos
cow, usually within an hour
or so after it's occurrence.
Although he said such re-
ports were frequently exag-
gerated, they were usually
more detailed than those
published in this country's
news media. Nevertheless,
the speaker said,, Russia was
broadcasting these events to
great advantage as one of
is principal weapons in COM
batting democracy in the
cont Communist world.
But, despite the damage
racial discrimination is do
ing America throughout the
world, eve still have reac-
tionaries in this country who
would suffer her complete
destruction rather than
grant the Negro his civil
rights"
"Also, among Negroes
themselves" Marshall said,
"there are some who say
the race is not ready for
Indignation. They say take
it easy; the time isn't right.
"The fact is," he continued,
"anti-civil rights whites
have told Negroes so many
times that they were inferior
to the white people, that
a few Negroes do actually
believe they are inferior.
However, he explained,
throughout history there
have been Calamity James,
and they will continue to be
with us. Some people just
can't stand progress.
"Why must I be set aside?
he asked. "The United States
is the greatest melting pot
in the world. But either ten
percent of our population
didn't get in the pot or just
didn't get melted" We are
members of the human race,
not the Negro race"
"The entire world looks
to the United States to see
if democracy can save the
| the world" observed the
hard-hitting Crusader. 'But
three-fourths of the worlds
population is dark" he said,
pointing out that when our
diplomats urge democracy,
"the darker races ask, "what
democracy"
Continuing his blistering
attack against racil discrim-
nation, Marshall asserted,
"The very soul of the white
man is in the hands Of the
Negro, because we are the
only ones who, with blood,

8. The lower courts would be di-
rected to hold hearings on whether
the plans submitted provide for
tran sition to non segregated

Boards asking for a delay would

In addition the lower courts

Paul Robson Denied
Passport To Attend
Soviet Writers Meet

New York, Nov. 20-Paul Robe
son, the internationally famed art
list, has been refused permission by
the Passport Office of the State
Department to travel to Moscow to
attend the Congress of Soviet
Writers which opens December 9.
Upon receipt of an invitation
from the noted novelist, Alexander
Fadeey, chairman of the Presidium
of the Union of Soviet Writers, Mr..
Robson contacted the Passport Of
flee and requested that passport
application which he had filed in
July be amended to include his
participation as a guest in the two
week meeting Of Soviet writer's.
His earlier application was made
for the purpose of fulfilling con-
cert engagements in England,
France, Israeal and the Scandana-
Wan countries, including a London
production of "Othello" under the
management of Leslie Under Pro-
auctions.
A letter to Mr.. Robson from
Willis H. Young, acting director
of the Passport Office dated Nov
ember 10, states that since the
earlier application was tentatively
denied by this office on July &c,
1854, it will be necessary for you
to proceed in accordance with the
procedure outlined in Section 81
1877 Of the Passport Regulations if
you desire to have the Department
give further consideration to your
case"
The regulations referred to re-
quire an application to "prove" that
his views do not deviate from those
of the State Department as pre-
requisite for receiving q passport.
Discretionary power in granting or
withholding permission to travel is
placed in the hands Of the Secre-
tary of State and an appeal board
established within his Department.
Mr.. Robson is challenging the
right of the Secreatry to weld
such arbitrary power. He is bring
ing a suit in federal court to COM
pei the Department to issue him
a passport on the ground that re-
fusal to do SO deprives him of his
constitutional rights for freedom
of speech, thought and assembly,
and the freedom to earn a living
guaranteed by the First and Fifth
Amendment of the Constitution.

Zoning for New
Bank Site Sought

A plan to move the National
Capital Banks branch from 1887
Pennsylvania avenue Sc, to a
new site four blocks east on the
same street drew citizen support
yesterday at a hearing of the
District Zoning Commission.
It was Endorsed by John F..
Donohoe for the Southeast Busi-
nessmen's Association and for
the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association by Daniel r. Young
and w. B. Castonguay.
Asking that zoning of the
vacant lot on Pennsylvania be-
tween Twenty-seventh and
Twenty eighth streets Sc, be
changed from residential to
commercial, President George A.
Didden, jr. of the National Cap
ital Bank said the new site had
been approved by the Controller
Of the Currency. The rezoning
was opposed on technical grounds
by the Zoning Advisory Council,
but favored by the Citizens Ad-
visory Committee on Zoning.
