"Too smart to obey Gods word,
YOU are lost"
Building houses is not building
churches
The Church of Christ is in your
heart
misunderstanding in Gods house is
keeping
people divided apart.
There is no life in the building
Yet you are worshipping wood and
stone
And telling people your Church is
in your heart
That is where Christ Church be-
long.
Thousands know the letter and
figures
Yet they don't know God in de-
parting of their sins
| am sorry for self righteousness
in the heart of
Men and women.
When a man can't put the Church
to thinking
The right way in this life,
He should marry some good wom-
and and claim her
For his wife.
We live to learn, and learn to live
right
When a man don't know right from
wrong,
How can he teach people right!
The house of God is in hell of a
fight.
God is going to send you a man
That will lift up Jesus Christ,
And he will do all the drawing of
Women and men to live right.
Jesus tells us to lift him up and he
will
Do all the drawing of men
Why can't we obey the words OF
Christ and
Stop believing in no harm sin.
There is no such sin in Gods Holy
word
Sin is sin regardless, great or
small
Unless we obey Gods word from
time to
time we are going to fall.
When you fill your brains with the
letter
And with no Christ in your heart
in the
House of worship, the way you
stand with
The little man is far apart.
You can't exchange your brains
With Jesus, he asked for your
heart
If you can't obey the word OF Co..
Sorry! you are just too smart.

High Court
To Review
Rail Question

The Supreme Court has agreed
to review a Nebraska court deci-
sion invalidating railroad brother
hoods union-shop contracts on the
ground they conflict with the states
so-called "right-to-work" law.
The federal Railway Labor Act
authorizes the union shop on rail-
roads and union-shop contracts
exist with the Union Pacific Rail-
road.
Five employees refused to join and
filed suit to enjoin enforcement of
the contract clauses.
The single issue: Does Ne
braska's antiunion "right-to-work"
law take precedence or does the
federal Railway Labor Act prevail
in the state?
The Taft Hartley Act is not in
volved. Railway workers are ex-
empted from Taft-Hartley cover
age, including Section IA (b) that
specifically authorizes state laws
prohibiting union-security con-
tracts.
The Nebraska Supreme Court
said the state law OVERRIDE the
Railway Labor Act. The AFL-CIO
Railway Employees Department and
Is rail unions appealed, and the
Supreme Court accepted the case
for review.

History And Science OF Negroes Side

In reading the Southern Case Against Desegrega-
ton reported in the current issue of Harpers Mag
azne the only thing said by the writer which attracted
attention beyond the ordinary, his recurrence
to the out-worn charge now being revived by
most writer's interested in making against the
Negro that the incidence of veneral disease is much
greater among Negroes than among whites fact
which would have been stated without being
toned by simply saying that the incidence of poverty;
and lack of economic opportunity is greater among Ne
groes than among whites.
In every now the writer's who would make
against the Negro is coming up with the charge
of the greater incidence of veneral disease charge
that to the school desegregaton controversy had be-
out-worn and just about forgotten because the
higher incidence of venera disease among Negroes
we'll that of many other diseases had been proven by
learned socoogsts and medical authorities to be the
suit of the lack of economic and educational opportunity
and no sign evidence of Negro inferiority.
In at least the matter of the higher incidence of
venera disease the Negro has both history and science
his side. There is evidence of veneral disease
among the Negroes who were brought from Africa to
become slaves in America, any evidence of veneral
disease among the African Tribesmen who sold the
slaves the disease being altogether unknown to the
tive African, veneral disease is something that the
Negro got from his associates

Sou. Catholics
Urge End To
Bias In Schools
And Churches

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3 - An
end to segregation in all Catholic
organizations, schools and churches
has been urged by the Commission
on Human Rights of the Catholic
Committee of the South.
The commission went on record
as favoring the present plans of
Archbishop Joseph Francis Rum
mel to end segregation in Catholic
schools of the archdiocese after
September, 1856.
The archbishop has met oppo-
sition from several parishes which
passed resolutions urging him to
keep segregation in New Orleans
and several other parishes.
Mrs. Lucille Soniat, chairman of
the commission said the group un-
animously adopted a firm stand
against enforced racial segregation
and approval of full Indignation in
Catholic life"
The resolution stated: eve know
that some among US are reluctant
to improve the institutions and
practices to which we have been
accustomed, but that this reluc-
lance is more a matter of external
conformity than of internal con-
viction."
1t added that present obstacles
ito Catholic unity are not ire
movable. They persist mainly as
phantoms in the minds of fearful
peoples and as more social customs
in the secular environment which
surround the children of God.
1--WE believe that with good will
and intelligent effort it is possible
for US to remove these and to
make an orderly and charitable
transition to improve human re-
lations between white and Negro
Catholics"
The commission is regarded as
the race relation body of the
Catholic Committee of the South,
an organization of Negroes and
whites operating in II Southern
states.

actly what action will be taken in
any given Southern City or any
particular phase.
The two, DR.. Harlan w. Gilmore
of Tulane University and DR..
Nicholas J. Demerath of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, noted
that while Southern cities remain
Bi-Racial the old patterns have
been broken.
State of Confusion
The best that can be said of the
present patterns of racial relation
ships they said is that they are in
state of marked confusion"
One reason for the change in
racial relations in Dixie's cities
can be attributed to another big
Southern change outlined by an
other speaker. DIR. Homer L. Hit
of Louisiana State, described the
drastic population shifts that have
steadily drawn both whites and
Negroes away from the farm, with
Negroes generally moving to the
cities and the whites to the cities
suburbs.
Gilmore and Demerath said the
traditional formula for interracial
relations in Southern cities has
been changing since World War
One.
For at least the past Is years"
they noted lone could find in al
most any Southern City unpunish-
ed violations of almost every sup
posed formula of interracial rela-
tions with the possible exceptions
of interracial marriage and nom
segregation in public schools"
Groups Solicited
Now this change in formula has
become the most controversial is
sue in the region. Each of the two
groups, white and Negro popula-
tons "is more. solicited as con-
flict group than in the past" the
sociologists said, "but in spite of
this, the issues are not very clearly
drawn"
They observed:
"As a gesture Of loyalty to his
side, a Negro is supposed to avow
a desire to abolish every racial
formula of the past, and similarly
every white is supposed to pre-
tend to oppose all such change.
Actually this is not the state
of mind many, perhaps most, indi-
viduals on both sides. There. are
many changes which Negroes
would not try very hard to get and
likewise there are some changes
which most whites would not miss
bridge game to prevent.
No Clear Conception
"Of what they think the New
South should be in the field of
race relations"
Other changes in Southern cities
outlined by the authors included
changes in their economic function.

virginians Push
Fight Against
Private School
Legislation


mittees in Northern Virginia have
stepped up their fight against the
plan to divert public funds to pri-
vate schooling as a means of get
ting around the United States Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
racial segregation in public schools.
Edward B. Hincks, chairman of
the Arlington County committee
said Tuesday that his group will
mail literature to all Arlington
voters before January 9 the date
on which Virginia voters will decide
in a referendum whether or not
constitutional convention shall
be held.
The purpose of the proposed con-
stitutional convention is to change
the Virginia Constitution to per-
nit tuition grants to be made to
children whose parents are OPP
posed to their attending mixed
schools. The grants would be to
pay tuition at private schools.
Committee Activities
Mr.. Hincks said he has 200 per-
sons talking to their neighbors in
opposition to the plan proposed by
Governor Thomas B. Stanley to
study ways and means of getting
around the Supreme Court decl-
sionS.
Ernest w. Jennes, chairman of
the Falls Church Committee, said
his group has got out flyers which
are being passed from house to
house and is planning a further
personal appeal to voters.
Warren Quenstedt, chairman of
the Fairfax County committee, re-
ported $1,000 in voluntary contri-
buttons to finance the fight in that
county.
Mr.. Quenstedt also said his group
has lined up 1000 people who
are making telephone calls to all
Fairfax registered voters.
Mrs. George Galland, publicity
chairman for the Alexandria COM
mittee, said it has launched an in
tensive publicity and telephone
campaign. eve tried to get peo-
ple to register she said, Now we'll
try to get them to vote
In other action, the State Board
of the American Association OF
University Women took a stand
against the controversial tuition
grant plan.
Results of mail ballot, in which
the Id directors voted IL to
against the tuition grant were
made public by Mrs. Robert L.
Lankin of Arlington.
Mrs. Lankin said the proposed
tuition grant plan would be "par-
ticularly detrimental to children
of lower-income families 1t also
would be "very difficult to admins
ter" and would lead to such con-
fusion that the State would have
trouble hiring and holding good
teachers she said.
Weaken System
The board she said simply felt
the plan would weaken the school
system. Setting up two school
systems can't help but be more
costly"
The action of the State board
left the 80 branches of the AAUW
free to take whatever action they
desire.
Virginians will vote January 9
on whether constitutional con-
yention should be held to allow
public funds to be used for tuition
grants for private schools. The
tuition grant proposal is one of
the key points in Virginia's pro-
gram to keep segregated public
schools, despite the Supreme Court
rulings.
