in outlining the program,
said that the plan should be-
gin with grass root activi-
ties, with the local Social
Action Committee of every
chapter, being ready to kick
off on January 1, Emancipa-
ton Day, which is symbolic
of citizenship freedom.
Every available means of
publicizing the program is
to be used by local chapters,
including newspapers, radio,
television, church, civic
clubs and citizens groups, to-
focus attention on the drive.
The committee is also
mindful of other phases of
citizenship, with special en-
phasis on employment with
local, state and federal gov
eminent. 1t was the think
ing of the chairman that too
few elected officials carry
out their campaign promises
of proper distribution of
jobs. Mr.. Dodson reflected
the fact that quite a few re-

might have been reelected
had they explored the reser-
voir of Negro ability, in the
carrying out of their duties
as solons. He further point
ed out the fact that many
local and state officers were
repudiated because of their
failure to hire or endorse
Negro applicants.

gram will be submitted to

will convene in Atlanta,

Big Drive To Begin
Jan. 1, Emancipation
Day---Symbolic OF
Good Citizenship

Washington, D. C.-Thur-
man L. Dodson, Social Ac-
ton Committee, Omega Psi
Phi Fraternity, announced
here this week that his COM
mittee has spent about
eight months in research, in
an eff f ort to map plans
whereby local CT a p t e r S
would be activated to launch
one of the greatest social
action dri yes that this
country has ever known.
The militant Washington
lawyer said that the COM
mittee's plan had put regis
tration and voting at the top
of the list. He asserted that
due to the fact that first
class citizenship could only
be obtained through the use
of the ballot that his COM
mittee felt that a driv e
should be begun, in early
1855, to place three million
new Negro voters on the
books.
The committee has broken
the country down into Sec
tions. The drive is aimed
primarily at the south. The
breakdown calls for regis
tration in southern states as
follows: Virginia 10000;
N o r t h Carolina 100000;
Sout h Carolina 100000;
Georgia 100000; Flori d a
100000; Alabama 100000;
Louisiana 100000; Arkansas
100000; Mississippi 100000;
Texas 10000.
Border states are: West
Virginia $4,000; Maryland
100000; Tennessee 100000;
Kentucky 100000; Missouri
$4,000.
Northern states: Massa-
chusetts $4,000; Connecti-
cut $4,000; New York 49,
900; New Jersey $4,000;
Pennsylvania 100000, Della
ware $4,000.
Midwestern and Pacific
coast: Ohio $4,000; Michi-
gan $4,000; Indiana $4,000
California $4,000; Illinois
100000; K an sas $4,000;
Oregon $4,000 washington
$4,000; Iowa $4,000.
According to Mr.. Dodson
the committee is alarmed at
the recent effort to dis
franchise potential Negro
voters, by the state of Mis-
sissippi, in the recent cleo
tion by requiring persons
applying for registration to
read the Constitution. He
further stated that his com
mittee and the entire fra
ternity should ever be alert
to combat this and other
sinister moves to deny any
citizen the right to vote.

Associated Press STAFF Writer
At this time, when politicians be.
gin putting their own interpreta-
tiOns on Tuesdays elections, one
conclusion is obvious, and a second
one seems so.
1. 1t was a Republican defeat. The
voters showed their dissatisfaction
with Republican control of Con-
gress by turning the House over
to the Democrats also the Senate.
2. The extraordinary narrowness
of the margin was a pretty good
sign the great majority Of voters
are not deeply disturbed by the
state of the nation.
If the people-as a whole-had
been fear-ridden or in distress they
would no doubt have expressed
their misgivings or anger by giving
the Democrats an overwhelming
victory to change the direction. This
they did not do.
Senate Reflects Thought
On the other hand, if they had
been extremely enthusiastic about
the Republican performance Of the
past two years. it would have in
creased the COP control of Con-
gress. They did the reverse.
The amazingly even division Of
voters thinking was best reelected
in the Senate races where, in Ore
gOn, Ohio and New Jersey only q
few thousand votes separated the
although roughly five
million votes were cast in the three
states
And the Democrats achieved no
majority in capturing
control Of the House over President
Bisenhower's last-minute pleas to
keep the Republicans In charge.
OF the 435 House seats, the Demo-
Gratis won 232 to the Republicans
20S. They did It BY gaining IL seats.
