Justice Dept. Asks
ice To End Bias In
Interstate Travel

Washington (SNS)-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission receiv-
ed notation from the Justice De-
partment Tuesday urging that seq
regation in travel be ended on the
II rail lines operation in the South.
The Justice Department request
came after, and in support of,
request made earlier this year by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
At the same time, however, seven
of the railroads asked the commits
sion to rule that discrimination in
travel accommodations on the basis
of race is not contrary to any COM
mission provision.
Final Decision Pending
The ICC held hearings on the
petition last summer but has not
as yet made a definite ruling. An
ice examiner, however, asked last
month that an individual petition
against racial discrimination on an
interstate bus be dismissed.
In its brief, the Justice Depart
ment outlined that separation of
Negroes and Whites on railroads
operating in interstate commerce

NEEDS WHEN WE PRAY
ASK FOR HIS BLESSINGS
Jesus said, Ye have not chosen me

dained you
To 90 and bring forth fruit that

Remain whatsoever you ask the
Father in my name
He will give it to you.
The man desires the work of

To desire a good work he must be
A man of one wife apt to teach
And a blameless man to see.
The above is what Christ is call
ing for
One he chose and the other desired
the work
Of a Bishop to preach the gospel
because he
Was prepared and knew just what
to do.

He was prepared with the letter

For to go and be ordain.
| write the truth and preach the

| always lift up Jesus name
He will do all the drawing
And | am not the blame.
Why would you tell God everything
When he knows everything you do
He knows every need in life
So why would you not be true.
Jesus says ask and it shall be given
So why tell God what to do
Why not obey Gods Holy Word
Since Jesus died for you.
My dear people stop telling God
everything
Be doer and do not try
The Lord prepares man to preach
The whole truth and not lie.
Do not try to fool the people
You are fooling yourself as we'll
God will not receive you in heaven
So your reward will be in He'll.
No fool God will send out
He makes a man wise to lead
A fool will separate Gods people
And never will take heed.

The department stated, in part:
'"The time has come for the COM
mission to declare unequivocally
that a Negro passenger is free to
travel the length and breadth of
this country in the same manner as
any other passenger"
Earlier in the controversy, the
seven railroads admitted that they
practiced segregation but contend
ed that facilities were substantial
ly equal"
The seven rail lines concerned
St. Louis, San Francisco and the

the Santa Fe, the Gulf, Mobile and
Ohio, the Kansas City Southern,
the Louisville and Nashville, the

They are a city's sanitary life
lines, carrying away potential
deadly wastes.
Clay pipe research projects,
now being carried On at many of
the nations leading universities
and private laboratories, are
smack on the target of improv-
ing existing offerings and de-
veloping new clay products. The
entire program is designed to
broaden the vitrifed clay pipe
industry's services to the public.
There is absolutely NO reason
why anyone need gamble with
his family's health. Through re-

meets that challenge. Health is
