"Trick or Treat
Practice to Support
'Unicef Collections

In an attempt to turn the practice
of trick or treating into some
thing worthwhile, the Youth Con-
serVation committee of the Oak
land Civic club has made plans
for the collection of money for the
United Nations Childrcn's fund in
place of the usual contributions of
candy, apples, etc.
The practice of trick or treat
in some areas has gone far beyond
its modest beginnings, and some
times children are making nightly
visits TO homes for three weeks
prior to Halloween.
Some have considered the prac-
tice also dangerous, since people
admit into Their homes masked per
sons who are unknown to them
This year it is planned that con
tainers will be provided for per
sons to trick or treat" in which
money may be placed for the

Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied

The recent Supreme Court decision m segregation seemed a mile
stone in the march toward universal equality of opportunity. AS Ameri-
cans we were proud of the progress our country was making because
it was achieved by sound education, legislative advances and law en-
forcement
But recent developments in the deep South are reversing this
trend. The violence, intimidation and lawlessnesS now current have
shocked the nation. There is need for a sober appraisal and decision.
What IS happening in the South today is simply a realization on the
part of the bigoted politician, of the moneyed reactionary, of the pro-
fessional hatemonger that legal, decent and peaceful means will not
stop the march toward human rights for all. These dehards have
resolved to spill blood whenever they think it necessary, and the law
of the land be damned!
The White Citizens Councils are the organzational alliance of
these forces. They are antiNegro, anti1abor. The demagogue is
their natural leader, and Senator Eastand is their prophet. They
wear no hoods but. they work at night, planting bombs in the home of
their victims or dragging them from their bedrooms at gun point. To-
night, they will cause a Negro farmer to run for his life; tomorrow,
beat the daylghts out of a union organizer and railroad him out of
town. They'll jam a Right to Work law through their legislature
while begging for new industries to come and enjoy their brand of
"labor peace"
ward a peaceful transition from a feudal to a free South have been
the lynch gangs.
There is but one solution to this crisis. The rest of the nation
stand firm. We must not permit the law of the land to be louted by
the mob or the bgot, the demagogue or the senator.
The leaders of the nation - from the President down - must
firmly declare there is no neutrality between order and chaos. The
criminal is not entitled to a period of readustment. If the deep
South is not to sink any deeper, ours must be a government of law
and order.
President Meany and the AFLCIO Executive Council have spoken
clearly and firmly on this issue. They have exposed the White
Citizens Councils and their ugly deeds and motives. Organized labor
again proudly restates its position that what is good for the nation
Is good for labor.

POWELL PRAYER A
BY NAAcP

New York - The proposal of
the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell for
an hour of prayer on March % in
protest against the arrest of 80 Ne
gro clergymen and lay leaders in
Montgomery, Ala, for participa-
ton in a movement to secure
equitable treatment Of Negroes on
the city bus lines is heartily en-
dorsed" by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Color
ed People, Roy Wilkins, executive
secretary, said here today.
Local units of the NAACP
throughout the country are being
asked to cooperate with the church
es in observance of prayer protest.
Mr.. Wilkins also is calling upon
people to contribute one hours
wages to the NAACP to help carry
on the legal defense of the arrested
Montgomery leaders and for the
general struggle to secure full
citizenship rights for Negroes
wherever they are being denied.
Rev. P. D. Hale, pastor of the I'm
ion Grove Baptist Church in Column
bus, Ohio, has already announced
that he is calling for such contri-
buttons in connection with prayer
services at his church on March %.
The prayer proposal was origin
ated by Mr.. Powell who is also a
of Congress from New
York City. The clergyman-con-
gresham denied that he had pro-
posed a work stoppage as publish
ed In many newspapers. "We are
interested in prayer only" he said

ports Friday. With respect to the
new antilynching bill, approved
by Senator Hennings and Senator
Lenger, Chairman Hennings said
the Subcommittee took cogni-
zance of the fact that similar
legislation was reported to the
Senate in five previous sessions
of the Congress.
"In the face Of today's prob
lens, at home and abroad, I am
sure all thoughtful citizens of
every section will want to make
our country's record in the pro-
lection of the basic constitutional
rights of our citizens completely
defensible against Communistic
attack, or criticism by new indie
pendent nations now arising in
Asia and Africa" Senator Hen
nings said. "The passage of
these bills will help greatly to
bring about equality of citizen
ship in this country, without re-
gard to race, color, religion, or
ancestry of any citizen. The
guaranteed right to vote without
being intimidated or coerced, or
kept from the polls by official
subterfuges, is the most impor-
tant right of ALL"
Senator Hennings recalled that
when he first entered the House
of Representatives in 1885, his
first patronage appointment was
given to a young Negro from st.
Louis, and there after Negroes
figured prominently in all his
patronage. Ever since then he
has been working in the House
and Senate to bring about full e.
quality Of rights for American
citizens, regardless Of race, color,
religion or ancestry. Hennings
introduced his own anti-lynching
bill when he was a member Of the
House of Representatives.
When the Selective Service
Act was enacted, Hennings said,
he spoke in the House Of Repre-
sentatives to urge that every mi
nority in this country should
share in any national activity
without discrimination.
"The four bills which the Sub
Rights has just approved" he
said, "are four more steps toward

The Battle For Traffic Sufety
Is BEING Won

1t is estimated that 10000 people will die in traffic accidents
in 1856, according to Vic Gilman, Director of Safety, MIA Mutual
Insurance Company. This sounds very discouraging. 1t is.
Some folks even say that little can be done to reduce this
toll of tragic death and suffering. whats the USE" they saw
Why spend all this time and money promoting safety when every
year we kill as many people on our highways as we killed the
year before!"
The fact of the matter is, Gilman says, that if no safety pro-
motion work had been done and the highway death rate had kent
pace with the miage rate, we would have killed 80 900 people on
our highways in 1855 instead Of $500. Safety promotion saved
51,5O0 lives in one year.
Here's another fact. If we will eliminate the drinking driver
we can cut the traffic death toll by another twenty-five percent.
Highway death figures show that one out of every four traffic
deaths is caused by the drinking driver.
Yes, we are winning the battle against death on the highway
Let's stop drinking while driving and save the lives of To- 900 more
people.

realization of what I believe to be
the one and only right way to
handle race relations within the
United States"
The bill to protect the citizens
right to vote extends the provi-
sions of the Hatch Act, as now
written, to include primaries and
special elections of Federal office
holders in all states. The section
will protect the right to vote a.
gainst interference based on a
voters religion, race or color. The
penalty for intimidating, threaten
ing, or coercing any person who
tries to vote is set at $1,000 or a

The bill to strengthen the
machinery of civil rights laws,
within the Department of Justice,
would elevate the Civil Rights
Section of the Department to the
status of a Civil Rights Division
to be healed by an Assistant At

crease the Federal Bureau Of In

tent necessary to investigate

Federal protection against bodily
attack which now is legally af-
forded to members Of the Coast
Guard was passed by the House
of Representatives on January 16,
1856. In sending it to the Judici-
airy Committee of the Senate, the
Subcommittee on Constitutional
Rights takes note of the fact that
it has been recommended by the
Defense Department, and includes
protection to Servicemen while
in plain clothes, as well as uni

require them at times to be out
of uniform.
