Thurgood Marshall
Lawyer-Statesman

From over in Montgomery Alabama comes press
reports of copyrighted article in the Montgomery Ad
vertiser widely read and influential Alabama daily
paper of interview with Thurgood Marshall in which
the justly famed attorney for the National Association
for the Advancement of Coored People gave his views
in regard to the outcome of the school segregation
awaiting the decision of the United States Supreme
Court of what is expected from Others and the advise
that he would give to Negro citizens of the South
should the courts decision outlaw segregation in the
nations public school systems
The greatest gains made by the American Negro,
in his struggle for first class citizenship, with the
greatest being that of the right of Negro citizens to
vote in the Democratic primaries of the South all of
which have been made in the most recent years, have
been obtained through decisions of the United States
Supreme Court from presented by the National
Association for the Advancement of ColOred People,
with Thurgood Marshall, the leader and helmsman of
assembly of the most able lawyers from throughout the
nation.
In having argued so many cases of great moment
in the struggle of the American Negro for first class
citizenship and of equally if not greater moment in the
preservation of democracy in America and the world Mr.
Thurgood Marshall has already been assured high niche
among the great lawyers efs the United States
In spite of the great gains made in the struggle of
presented to and decisions rendered by the United
States Supreme Court under the leadership of the Ma
tonal Associations for the cement of Iolored Peo
pIe andsthe able arguments of Thurgood Marshall be-
fore the nations highest court, there many
soned observels.who Of the opiron, andnot without
Justification that the of the fights
sponsibe for much of,the letargy and just plain in
difference, found among Southern Negroes the
full Supreme Court cases causing them to look away,
more and more from the responsibilities and duties at
the local level. .s.
Particular study should be made by the less gifted
adherents of the NAACP especially those officers at
the local levels who insist strict literal application
and Interpretation of the NAACP formula of the state
ment by Mr.. Marshall that impementaton of de-
csion outawing segregation in the public schools must
be gradual and through cooperation at the local level and
suggesting that Negro leaders of the South proceed
local level.
In the interview with the Montgomery Advertiser
Mr. Marshall reveals that he is something than
NAACP dealist, that he is something than
great lawyer that despite the of the Supreme
Court cases. he has the deeper understanding of the
workings of American politics and government and the
understanding that compromise is the real art of Ameri
politics and government and that American politics
and government begins at the local level.
For his statements in the interview with the Mont
gomery Advertiser the Jackson Advocate sautes Thur
good Marshall, lawyer and statesman.

Except Gods word and be saved,

/ heard some one speak over the
air about the boys in line. Some
are now in uniform and their moth
ers back home crying.
Wondering will they ever return,
back to their native homes since
they are now in a uniform and,
thousands of our boys not grown.
Mother don't believe in vain trust
God he will here your cry he will
send your boy back home to you
tho it may be bye and bye.
There is nothing great as the
love of God and, the faith we have
in Christ, who died for all who be-
lieved on him to give us eternal
life. ,AI
Young men! you have left your
native homes, yet God is every
where except his love where ever
you be, be brave and not in dispair.
When you are on the Lords side
be brave and do not lie. Jesus
Christ saved the Hebrew boys when
they were over in the fire.
My boys have faith in God his
son Jesus Christ also. 1t takes
prayer to end this war you see, no
matter how far you may go.
You left God eyes back at home
and Gods eyes is over there Gods
eyes is every where you go ne will
meet his saints in the air.
When the atom sets the world
on fire Gods power will be right
there not a child of Gods will be
burned he will meet his saints in
the air.
Young men have faith in God
and Jesus Christ his son also,
because Jesus is the doorway to
Heaven and / am on that road to

leader of Queens, but hedged when
asked if he would recognize Mr..

I'm too busy getting my of

1t is no secret in political circles,
however, that Mr.. Roe, for the

Mr.. Phillips successfully fought
the Roe organization last fall in
winning the Democratic nomination
for Queens Borough President from
John Clancy, who was Mr.. Roe's
choice.
Although the Mayor had told re-
porters that his attendance at the
Phillips dinner would have no po-
litical significance, his statement
was accepted in political circles as
tongue-in-cheek utterance.
The Mayor was asked whether
he would support Carmine G. De-

national organization at a meeting

nounced that he is not seeking the
