Are You Two-Sided?

Are you two-sided? Or let's put it another way
have you Sngle-track double track mind?
When you read the paper this morning did you pick
just the articles that expressed your viewpoint? Or
did you read the other side we And by reading the
other side mean really considering the writer's views
not just hunting for things to disagree with For that
matter do you read just newspaper-or do you
study the opposition paper too?
To be objective, let's consider the question
of history There is not much in studying history
if you concentrate just version You can't get
fair picture from just side of the fence. You can't
even find out how good your own impressions are.
One of the best compliments pay persons
is to say they "wel-balanced." But you can't be
welbalanced unless you at least look at both sides
Unless you are two sided
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you shouldn't
take Sides But what getting at is that you can't
properly evauae your side of the picture unless you
look at the other side we'll.
Why do you suppose the Soviet keeps such close
watch the thinking of its slave society and of it's
enslaved satellites? Why have they destroyed free
terprse free trade unions free elections free inter-
course? Because they have one-track minds-and bal
anced thinking the part of their subjects would be as
devastating atom bomb to their program.
For example - the communists stress the big lie
that they for peace, and for war They talk
of peaceful coexstence, and to the one-sded-or
eyed wshfu thinkers - they holding out the olive
branch But the tWo-sded folk look carefullyand
the knife held in the other hand.
In the months to coTne-as tensions mount, and mo-
mentous decisions must be madewe cannot afford to
have any onesided citizens We need instead twosded
thinkers-who look and listen, and evauate and
then make known their views.

Upholds Basic Principle
(FrOm The Atlanta Constitution

The u. S. Supreme Court much discussed Of late
rendered decision last week reaffirming fundamental
of American government basic to all others 1t ruled that
a defendant in criminal must be given reason
able opportunity to employ and consult with an attorney
The court set aside life sentence given Ten
nessee Negro under the states habtual criminal law
because he had been denied counsel the habitual
criminal accusation He had been tried and sentenced in
procedure that took than 10 minutes.
This reaffirmation of basic principle of American
justice is of many such decisions. While the Negro
may have deserved life imprisonment, to pass such
sentence without the due of law is threat to
every citizen 1t is violation of the rules that
forefathers tired of centuries of such OPPRESSION at
tempted to lay down.
cumbersome due process of law cannot be crcumvented
without endangerng rights, the guaranteed freedoms
of ALL fering our laws written to prevent merely
persecution, not to facilitate it.

Hate Groups
From: The Christian Science Monitor

The House Committee on Un-American Activities
is said to be the of releasing staff report
rght-Wing hate groups. Although this committee
has concentrated exposure of Communist activities
for the past several years. it is returning to old
rather than blowing field. For it was this
House group which, before World War H. exposed such
neo-Nazi and neo-Fascist movements the German
American Bund and the Silver Shirts.
The right-wng hate groups do not have large
following. Their unhappy influence, however has been
disproportionate to their popular following: For they
adopts at sensing unrestoften from quite
unrelated to their purposes-and then exploiting that
unrest for their ends
the hate groups propaganda A good deal of it finds
its way ultimately to newspaper offices And matter
what the it is likely to play upon of
the strngs-strings which lead quickly and easily
to Nome of humanity's least enlightened emotions.
Many of these groups play upon racial and religious
prejudces upon the ntuitive fear of the strange and
the foreign and upon personal conspiratoria expana
tions of great world trends which, by their very i'm
mensty and complexity, often BATTLE confuse And
the propaganda always seeks to arouse hatred.
1t is true both that exposure of Communist sub
versives has been needed and that congressman
have been tempted at times to make reckless statements
in the process AS for the first the situation appears
increasingly under control And for the second both
Congress and the nation have learned much. We shall
expect the House committee to proceed with
newed of responsibility

GAINS HAILED ON 163RD YEAR
OF The BILL OF RIGHTS

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The steady
march forward in constitutional
guarantees of civil rights was cited
last week by the American Jewish
committee. The report marked the
163rd anniversary of the Bill of
Rights.
New gains have repeatedly
overshadoweG events regarded as
epochal when they occurred" Irv-
ing NJ. Enge!, president of the or
ganization stated.
Today, II states and 80 cities
have fair employment laws, three
states have fair education laws and
five states have enforceable public
accommodation laws, the report
said. 1t continued:
Give years ago, the first Negro
college professor was appointed;
the first Negro office-holder in the
the South came forth; the first Ne
gro doctor on the staff of a general
hospital took his post. Today such
firsts could probably fill this en-
tire book.
Five years ago, the National
Committee on Segregation in the
! Nations Capital scored widespread
discrimination in Washington. To-
day, segregation in public facili-
ties in the Capital is the exception.
Give years ago, Negro students
were rarely admitted to Southern
state universities. Today, some g.
600 Negro students attend inte-
grated college classrooms in the
| South"
The U. S. Supreme Courts deci-
sion last May II banning segrega-
ton in the nations public schools
was termed the "most far reaching
advance of all"
"In every area of American life"
the report declared, "the gap be-
tween ideals and practices is clos
ing slowly, to be sure, but steadi-
ly."

Urge Three Laws
To Keep Georgia
Schools Separate

ATLANTA, Ga. - Three laws
which will help the State of Geor-
gia defy the United States Supre-
me Court were urged last week by
the states Education commission.
The 21-member body, set up to
figure out how to circumvent the
Supreme court decision, came up
with three proposals.
One of the laws would provide
for assignment of pupils by school
superintendent and empower the
State Board of Education to offer
educational grants" to any pupil
dissatisfied with his assignment
pending appeal actions. Such
grants would be Gin lieu of attend
ance in the public school,"
The proposed law adds that the
board may offer the grants if it
considers the action necessary for
the better education of such pupil
or necessary in the interest of pub
lie education in the school district
or necessary for public health,
morals and good order within the
district"
A second law would prohibit the
use of state or local funds for any
mixed school or to pay any teacher
instructing in a mixed classroom.
1t would be felony, punishable
by two years in prison, or any
state, county, city or school Off
cial to allow funds to be used for
mixed school.
The third proposal calls for local
boards of education to create at
tendance districts and require stu
dents to attend the schools within
the district in which they live.

AM OlD lSNC
The Lord has made me to under
stand
Where the Church of Christ is
today
1t is in the heart of every true
believer in Christ
He created in every child of God
new heart will pay.
His Church is IN the new heart
And his Fathers love abides
therein
To teach everyone how to live
And shun all the evils of sin.
We have been taught the house
was the Church
But is only a house to worship
therein
Our churches meet at the House
of Worship
To invite the sinners to come in.
And accept the word of God today
And acknowledge to God of his
sins
And Jesus will create a new heart
for you
Where his Church always begins.
Thousands will say that my Church
Yet never have been born again
Christ never gives a sinner new
heart
Because that's where his Church
begins.
We are entering into a new year
Hypocrites you had better get
right
You are claiming a Church is in
your heart
But we can't see a light.
This little light of mine in my
Church
I am going to let it shine
Jesus gave to me New Heart
That is Jesus Church, not mine.
There are no hypocrites in Jesus
Church
Those Bastards let them all in
It's the house of worship you call
the Church
That is not where Gods Church
begins.
God gets no glory out of the house
1t is out of the hearts of women
and men
The house has no life in it
1t is in the hearts where his
Church begins.
All Bastards claiming they a child
And God is their Father on high
But the tenth generation of these
bastards
The Bible says they are liars.

White Says Fed.
Aid May Bring

Cite 81 Million Aid To
Mississippi Schools

CHICAGO, H.. Dec. 27 (Spec-
iaD-The NAACP executive secre-
tary who was stricken with
heart attack in October resumed
his column last week in the Chicago
Daily News.
Pointing out that for the year
1852, Mississippi received more
than 81 million from the federal
government to be used on Missis-
sippi schools, White says that it
"is a certainty" that no govern
ment agency would turn over funds
to a state which would refuse to
comply with the nations highest
court.
He asserted that Estates that
have enacted various types of Leg
islation to authorize private in
stead of public schools are run
ming into difficulties already in
finding money for such schools"
White said that Georgia re-
Gently attempted to renew its
school revenue certificates and
that the banking superintendent
of Ohio, Thurman B. Hazard, de-
clared such certificates to be
Ineligible investments for Ohio's
state banks"
Certainly" said White, "the
Federal Reserve Bank, the Securi-
ties and Exchange commission,
state banking authorities and other
regulatory bodies will not want to
get into trouble by handling Sc
curities which violate unani-
nous decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court"
Pointing out that the Southern
states "afe already handicapped by
the nations poorest school sys-
tem," the NAACP head said the

Open ReIief EGOEIS9

For long time have admired the courage of Indiana
and Virginia for their determination to clear their relief rolls
Of unworthy and still take of all needy persons in
economical manner They succeeded in doing this by
making the relief rolls open to the public.
We wonder if the time is ripe for similar actv
ity in the legislative halls at Annapolis?
There time a Federal ruling, that the
of those relief rolls in the various states could not be d
Vuged without having the matching funds from the Federal
Off This made the states dependent upon the
whms Of Federal bureaucrats and club held the
heads of states Indiana the first to break and they
reported year two later that their welfare program
efficient and economical without the Federal funds.
1t understood present however that Federal ruling
longer applies and it is up to individual states.
Senator Friend suggested in Annapolis the other day he
felt the of welfare recipients should be pubcized
which drew statements Of approval from two other Senator's
One had sought similar requirements the past but he said
he slapped down for it,"
Making the relief rolls open for inspection should not
needessy embarass anyone but would certainly
clear the list of those who have business there and would
prevent duplication of aid in number of instances 1t might
also impress upon persons the words of Lincoln
You cannot help permanently by doing for them what
they could and should do for themselves"
This is not meant to belte those who absolutely
dependent upon such funds for their existence But it's worth
thinking about and perhaps trying action through
the state legislature this term.

Signs Bill to Delay
Auto License Hike

Governor McKeldin last week
placed his signature on bill post
poning auto license fee increases
until 1856.
The increases were approved as
a part of the 56S-million dollar long
range highway program passed by
the 1858 Legislature.
The bill to postpone the increase
had been introduced in the Senate
by Senators Maikus, Dorchester,
Mock, Wicomico, and Friend, Gar
rett. Maikus obtained passage of
a bill last year to postpone them
for one year but Mckcldin vetoed
it.
He was set to do the same this
year but suddenly agreed to go
along with the postponcmcnt.
The Roads commission had
argued before legislative commit
tees that they needed the addition
al three million dollars as part of
the 12-year building program.

Potatoes. Flour MI disposal
of County Commissioners

Three hundred and one 50-pound
sacks of potatoes and three tons Of
flour were placed at the disposal
of the County Commissioners last
Friday morning by George p. Ma
honey, Baltimore contractor, but
not until charges of politics" had
been thoroughly discussed and
eliminated.
The food, which Mahoney had
purchased in Baltimore, was
brought to Oakland Thursday for
distribution to needy families in
the county. Mahoney said he made
the gesture after reading reports
in daily newspapers Of hungry and
unemployed families in Allegany
and Garrett counties. A large
quantity Of potatoes and flour was
also delivered to Cumberland for
distribution in that area.
Appearing before the County
Commissioners Friday were Ma
honey and Mayor Joseph Hme-
baugh, of Oakland, who had acted
as Mahoney's agent in arranging
the gift food. Hinebaugh denied re-
ports that the gift had political i'm
plications, and Mahoney stated
