When Rhodes FIRST told me
about the Jubileerama / had
no idea of what it would be
like; could not conceive it
in my mind. Up to the night
before the performance it had
become a series Of units; but
on the night, Rhodes welded
those units into a whole which
fairly dazzled the large audi
ence which attended. / wish
it might be repeated to give
many the opportunity OF see
ing, and hearing one grand

will not last. That's for sure.
THE XII KUX KHAN which
claims to be "religiously Pro-
estant" and against Colored,
Catholics and Jews, now faces
a very powerful challenge
from the Catholic leaders in
the south. The long Protest
ant 'Bible reading" Southern
DixiecratS must now match
the Catholic leaders in each
liberal reform" or stand the
chance of losing their Colored
jim crow church and school
affiliateS. Also Federal Grants.
THE SOLID SOUTH is no
more solid today than the
Siegfried Line protected Ger
many or the Marginot Line
defended France. There were
southerners who thought the
Slave State Boundary Lines
would endure forever. There
are Dixiecrats who still think
the Mason Dixon Line will
last into the Buck Rogers
Century. All of this small
thinking has come from pure
ly political minds. But greater
forces rule the world.
PROTESTANT religious lead

the splendid Catholic chal-
lenge in the South. This could
possibly be the start Of a re-
ligious awakening in the south
which has long been needed
to thwart The Huey Longs,
Cotton Ed Smiths, the Bill
hos and RankinS, who have
been leading the South down
to misery and ruin. A united
colored and white clergy could
save the South. 1t will.

All lke's Cheers For
Secret Service Nine

KEY WEST - Newspaper
men and secret service agents
played some highly improb-
able baseball here, with the
President of the United
States as chief heckler.
While President EIsenhow.
er was here for purposes Of
rest and recovery, he was, as
usual, accompanied by a host
of secret service agents,
newSpapermen and photogs
rapherS.
So a challenge match was
played, with the secret SER
vice agents on one side, and
the newsnen on the other.
Mr.. Eisenhower watched for
about three innings. When
he left, the newspapernaen
were leading four to two.
But later Darwin Horn, see.
ond basesnan for the Secret
Service, broke up a four to
four tie with a grandsIam
home run. Final score: Twelve
to four in five innings, favor
of the Secret Service.
According to witnesses, the
game was sloppiIy played,
with frequent arguments
about the rules.
At one point, where there
was an argument over whe.
ther a Secret Service agent
could legally steal a base on,
a passed ball, the President
shouted You can run on an

bitter alteration arose, and
only after the Governor OF.

incident, stated:

The PHILOSOPHY or American
democracy and OF the Ameri-

in two immortal documents:
the Declaration of Independ-

us several times that, while
the Declaration Of Independ-
