preached on the query what
Do You See?" His text was
from st. John 9:1 - And as
Jesus passed by, he saw a
man which was blind from
mis- birth. Rev. Mr.. Owens
stated that Christian should
observe as they walk. What
you see Is based on your in
terestS and for what you are
looking. Different professions
would see different things as
they walked dowA the same
street. He said that he saw
people who have no spirit and
no depth in religion; a gener-
alton that has lost its sense
of values and needs stabiliz-
ing; also people don't have
time and respect for the
church they desecrate Gods
house and people that are di-
vided. These people are blind
and should be rescued and
cured. Do you as Christians
see them or are you passing
them by?

I have ever been permitted
to hear, their performance

formance comes along. OF
course, with Jim Prout direct
ing, / knew I was in for a

of the score, or more men,
their appearance, their deport-
ment, all combined to make
them easily outstanding. Prout
has always been a wizard of a

of anything that looked like a

kid was another feature; and
their yielding to the wishes of
the director. You gotta hear

THE MONITOR last week
featured an editorial Why
The Civil Rights Bills Failed"
and in typical Monitor manner
illustrated the arguments on
both sides without taking any
side IN the discussion. But
the editors did conclude that
the bills failed because South
er senators succeeded in
blocking Senate floor discus
sion of civil rights legislation
for this session" This should
be studied by critics of the
Supreme Court.
THE COGRESSMEN who
have been flaying the Su-
preme Courts action on civil
rights laws which Congress
first enacted Immediately fol-
lowing the civll war, today
stand out as among the great
est hypocrits in the Nation.
These are the Congressman
who will tell the TV audience
they demand states rights"
to oppose that the Congress
once made into law but which
the states refuse to accept,
breaking the law!
STATES RIGHTS, whether
a communist state or an AM
erican state, does not, and
never will give any ruler a
legal right to Cypress anotaer
race, creed or religion. What
We need today is more Am-
ericans to argue for human
rights" Hitler, Mussolini, To-
10 and Stain all argued for
the power of the state over
the individual. The Dixiecrats
are following the same wor-
ship of state rights over hu-
%> rights" Let's face hat
TACT!
THE SUPREME COURT by
It's recent decisions outIawed
any states rights over human
rights" Certain madmen of
certain states have tried to
twist the story and claim that
he Federal Government is "in-
fringing upon the states"
These DixiecratS, like Louis
XIV of France, are saying, II
Am The State, the State is
Me-" But as all history keeps
reminding US, all states and
nations are made up of the
people.
THE PEOPLE will soon
watch a three-ring -circuS of
television hypocrisy by states
rights Dixiecrats," draping
themselves in the folds of the
American Flag in the usual
manner of the Klu Klux Klan.
1t has been claimed that some
Democratic Party chieftans
have given these Dixiecrats a
green lights to denounce civil
and equal rights. We hope
this is not true. If it is true,
the Dems are going to lose
votes.

Poll, survey reveals that among
Northern colored voters four
of every six are Democratic.
The tremendous drift from
the COP dates from the hui
manitarian services of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. Colored pc
ople cannot forget his efforts
to improve their condition.
Nor can they fail to value the
civil rights efforts of Presi-
dent Truman with his FEPC.
They know that Fair Employ
ment Practices Commissions
are working efficiently. In
short the Northern voter is
convinced that Democrats
have done more for him.
The survey states: "The
colored mans first concern
today is that of getting
enough money to feed, clothe
and keep his family in a de-
cent fashion.
Only after this is accom-
plished does he find the time
to think about the civil rights
problem. Until he has a job
and sufficient money to pay
his bills, Autherine Lucy and
her plight have secondary inn
portance.
But even when the colored
voter is considering the ques-
ton of equal rights and de-
segregation, he is not ready
to give the COP all the credit.
1t appears certain that the
colored voters will stick with
the Democrats because there
is "no evidence that the Re-
pubilcans both in good and
bad times will see that he
has employment, and, second,
that any COP civil rights
measures will be ones which
catually take some action and
do not just state policies.

To pass a law abridging the

vote for President or Vice Pre-
sident of the United States, or
for Representative in Congress,

for the members of its legis-
lature, except on account of

Many political implications
have arisen since the U. S.
Supreme Court handed down
It's historical decision deSeg-
regating public schools in the
solid South. The most peril
nant are - 1. The 84th con-
gress indefinitely pigeon-holed
any legislative sanction in be-
half of civil rights. 2. Solid
South political leaders are
edging their respective states
deliberately to another seces-
sion movement as a threat
nearing the horizon of Civil
War. 8. Northern political
leaders, mostly democrats are
double talking and hedging to
make an impression on Color
ed voters regardless of party
that they are not unforgotten
citizens of the nation, if ball
lots are not wasted on the
wrong candidates in the No
vember national election. 4.
Grave doubts arise that a fu-
ture Congress will approve al
lotment Of funds to celebrate
the emancipation of slaves,
1868 in the solid South after
a century of enslavement in
1868.
A most bitter legislative bat
tie is anticipated. 1t will great
ly accede the present deseg-
regation dilemma, which will
be an aftermath with appre-
hensive nationwide tensions
warped in a tangle, whereby
thre three branches of Gov
ernment may frantically be-
come involved as Un-Consti-
tutional entities, because Of
bold solid South bravado not
to renounce segregation as
the main factor to perpetuate
white supremacy!
This, is a gloomy prediction
on the threshold of a glorious
achievement accredited to Abb
raham Lincoln, who preserved
the nation from collapse in a
most darkened hour of war
between the States, 1868. Dis
may of solid South leaders to
have emancipation of slaves
flare up in 1868 together with
desegregation, 1854, implement
ted, 1856 and judicial pro-
ceedings for enforcement be-
ing combatted will keep the
nation unstabilized far beyond
1868.
Not many leaders of either
present party regime will be
active in 1852 when the, above
momentous emancipation pro-
posal comes up for action dur
ing the S6th Congress. A le-
gislatiye dilemma looms. Alb
raham Lincoln, JEFF" Davis,
Gen. U. S. Grant and Gen.
Robert E. Lee, are historical
memories.
Who will cast the die, COP,
or Democrats for celebration
in 1862 of emancipation of
slaves, 1868? Another Civil
War may be waged instigated
by the solid South to assure
the world traditions are stron-
ger than a United Nation!
On the above premise, a ci-
vii rights hypothetical ques-
ton, is propounded.
