the Rev. DR.. Leon P. O'Hara Jr.
this week, only two months aft
er his appointment for life, at
no salary, at the Metropolitan
Baptist Church, 1401 Carr ST.
The Rev. DR.. O'Hara asserted
that salvation is free" and that
the Lord said, "Whosoever will,
Let him come" He pointed out
that no preacher of Biblical days
ever set any figure evaluation
on his services.
"Why should II" he asks.
The Rev. DR.. O'Hara is actual
ly a doctor of oral surgery and
dentistry. He graduated from
Meharry Medical college in 1945.
In 1946, he entered the United
States Army where he served
as a medical officer in the
States and the European the
atre for five years. He was dis
charged in 40 with the rank
of major.
Returning to ST. Louis, he
resumed his practice and in 1852
he was Singularly honored by
his associates in the profession
who voted him president of the
Mound City Dental Society.
DR.. O'Iara was given the life
time appointment at Metrop-
olitan after only five weeks of
preaching in the role of supply
pastor"
The vigorous young pastor
went to the church, September
2 "to fill a spiritual need" He
was no stranger to the congre-
cation, having preached as a
guest pastor about IL months
previously. He had agreed with
the congregation to serve them
for a three month period, with
out compensation, until the
"dev1l was preached out of the
church."
So impressed was the men,
bership with the messages OF
this shining new personality
that on September 80, he was
called in and given the lifetime
appointment.

this week, 'but he puts money
in the church every Sunday"
Last summer, in keeping with
his call of evangelism, DR.. o.
Hara travelled over 1000 miles
covering nine states from New
York to Sacramento, California,
preaching to literally thousands.
This pleased him much as it
recalled his other evangeliStic
programs following his call to
the ministry August 25, 1858.
Under the new pastors lead
erShip, the church, located in
the heart of the redevelopment
section of ST. Louis, has pro-
greSSed steadily. From a SUM-
day School, which averaged
about Is to 20 pupils per week,
over 100 children were in at
tendance there last Sunday. In
the eight weeks, the minister
has I been paStoring at the
church over 1913 additional
persons have become registered
and each Sunday morning the
pewS are filled to capacity.
The church has raised over
$4,000 in this period and already
plans have been let for an entire
new oil heating plant costing
$4,000.
DR.. O'Hara is the son of Prof.
Leon p. O'Hara, Sr., who for
over 80 years was head of the
department Of biology lat Tai
ladega College. The elder O'Hara
retired three years ago and with
his wife is now making his home
in st. Louis.
DR.. O'Hara is married to the
former Miss Geraldine Gore,
daughter of another vibrant
Baptist minister of St. Louis and
Long Beach, California, the
Rev. Herman Gore. The O'HaraS
have five children.
For DR.. O'Hara, a typical Sun
day starts at 9 a. m. at the
church and it doesn't finish url-
til after the last soul has left
the building Sunday night. Be
tween paStoring and serving an
ever increasing number of dem
tai and surgical patients in his
various offices he is kept un-
usually busy.
ct cannot be too busy" DR..
O'Hara said this week. What
ever I do, I do for the Glory or
God and the cleansing of the
soul of my fellowman."

CIVIL RIGHTS
PLANKS

people, by the people, and for
the people. And any person
who diSObeys the laws of the
land and teaches others to do
SO, is a declared enemy of this
Nation, and is working for its
overthrow; and hence does
not deserve the right of free
participation in the Nations
life, and is unworthy of the
security that the country
gives, and is subject to the
penalties of the law. We shall
also teach our children that
this Nation, under God, was
founded in the spirit of JUS
tice, freedom, and due regard
for moral law, and cannot
survive without remaining
true to it's foundation princi-
pies.
4. We intend to participate
in the total cultural life of
the Nation, both for personal
growth and development, and
for the further progress of
the country itself.
5. We intend always to che
rish and to give thanks for
those natural endOwments and
special gifts that have made
our race great; and pledge all
of our talents and resources
in the building of a better
social order and a more de-
mOcratic world.
6. In spite of the doctrine
of the segregatiOnist, we shall
always believe that the basic
quality of real distinction is
character, not color; and the
stature of a person is deter
mined by the power of his
mind, the purity of his heart,
and the highest possible dedi-
cation of his life.
7. We intend to crusade all
the evils in our society that
are designed to poison crea-
tive human relationships, and
to crush the constructive
growth of human personality,
and to fight against the false
doctrine which claims that
some men are by origin, birth,
and nature superior to others.
8. While we shall recognize
a need for the patience that
accompanies growth. we in
tend at all time to reject that
doctrine of graduation which
implies that the established
laws of the land should be
gradually applied, and gradu-
ally Obeyed, in order to re-
spect the unjust traditions of
men, and to give free reign
and honor to destructive pre-
judices.
9. We intend to take every
legal step to employ construc-
tive measure, and to cooper
ate with every group of loyal
Americans in the struggle to
preserve all of the Nations
ideals, and to overcome every
economic, political, and cul-
tural stumbling block that
hinders the further progress
of this great Republic.
10. With love for our Ma
tion, good will toward all, ut
ter devotion to the Federal
Constitution, and undying
faith in God; we intend to
continue our struggle for the
complete victory of freedom
on every front, and the pre-
servatiOn of the soul of the
Nation, whatever the cost.
And if we are slain by the
forces of oppression before
our high purpose is achieved,
we pray that we shall sleep
under the shadows of the
flag that we love, and that
our flowing blood shall help
to wash from the Nations
life, every blot of shame; and
our bleached bones shall help

Alabama High Court Refuses
To Bar NAACP 100000 Fine

MONTGOMERY, Ala, - At

Alabama State Supreme Court
here on August 13 in support
of a brief filed with the court
seeking a review of Circuit
Court Judge Walter B. Jones'
injunction and 100000 con-

against the Association.
The hearing was to deter
mine whether or not the
states highest court would
grant the NAACP petition for
a writ of certiorari, or review
of the case, on the ground
that there is no statutory
authority in Alabama to oust"
an out-of-state corporation.
The 3l-page brief, filed here
on August 7, raises five points
of law and cited ten errors
in Judge Jones' conduct Of
the case in the lower court.

Jackie Robinson took a hun

JACKIE ROBINSON, since
1916, has possibly filled as
many parks as Williams while
drawing down only half as
much salary. Robinson not
only was aSsailed by fans, he
was also vocally attacked by
rival players and several tried
to attack him physically. Will

Jackie. Williams never was

WALTER WINCHEL once
stated in his column that
colored men like Paul Robe

no reason to adopt a radical
attitude. Winchell knew at
the time that although Paul
could sing before royalty, he
could not be treated as a
citizen in many of our 48
states. At that time Paul
could not tlen sing at Con-

today send his son to many
southern universities.
