Joseph r. Mccarthy are in
disagreement over an invita-
ton to the Executive Mansion.
According to Mrs. Mary Jane
McCaffree, secretary to Mrs.
Eisenhower. an invitation to
the White House luncheon yes
terday was sent to Mrs. Nc
Carthy. Mrs. Mccarthy says
that to the best of her knowl-
edge it was not.
Mrs. McCaffree says that the
invitation was mailed to Mrs.
Mccarthy on March IS "just
like everyone else's." As in the
case of all active Senators, it
was mailed to Senator Nc
Carthy's Office. She added this
was done for the obvious rea-
son that should the Senator
and his wife be out of town,
a secretary can receive 1t and
pass it on.
TelephOned
Last Friday Mrs. McCaffree
said. a call was made to Sem
ator McCarthy's Office since
there had been no answer to
the invitation. She again
pointed out that this was
customary procedure for any
unanswered bids to functions
in order that final arrange
ments can be made as to num-
Der of guests.
At this time Mrs. McCaffree
said it was also asked if the
invitation had been received.
She said the Senator's Office
called back stating that the
invitation had been received
and passed on to Mrs. Nc
earthly.

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN

The morning worship service
last Sunday was conducted by two
young men who are members of
st. Paul Church and are attending
the Gustavus Adolphus College In
st. Peter. Minnesota. Mr.. Glen
Leaf and Mr. Richard Winsor are
preparing for the ministry in the
Augustana Lutheran Church.
When they have finished college
they will spend four years in the
seminary after which they will be
ordained.
Mr.. Leaf brought a greeting
from the school and brought a
message on the benefits Of attend
ing a Christian college.
Mr.. winsor preached the ser
mon in which he referred to DR..
Martin Luther who lived during a
time of political unrest, super
stitions, doubts and fears. At that
time people were looking for some
thing to take hold of. DR.. Luther,
too, was looking for something
stable and secure. In his search he
came upon these words, "a man
is justified by faith apart from the
works Of the law.
What is faith? Faith is the as
surance of things hoped for and 4
conviction of things not seen"
Hebrews III. He also referred to
Paul. who said. II know whom I
have believed and I am persuaded
that He is able TO guard that
which I have committed unto Him
against that day"
Many people have left God out
Of all phases OF their lives. James
wrote 70 the twelve tribes in dis
persion that faith without works is
dead. Our faith must be expressed
in love to our fellow men. Faith
becomes active in love. We are
saved for a purpose. We are saved
to serve. The Christian life Is one
of adventure and happiness. Both
young and old can find that true
happiness in Christ and in serv'
ing Him.
At the close OF the service. Mr.
George Hobrecker presented the
scholarship awards to both OF the
boys in behalf Of the congrega'
| ton.
II was announced that on Fri,
day. February s, at ? p. m. the

10 tho fact that the South never
did take seriously the oqualiza-
tlon phase Of the 1896 decision
until Negroes began 10 sue In
state and federal courts. In all
too many instances the gulf Of
inequality widened with tho
years.
When the court ruled that segre-
cation was constitutional, the
South was pleased and obeyed the
separate" phase OF II. But when
the court ruled against segrega-
ton the political leadership Of the
deep South rebelled. Governors and
attorney generals denounced the
decision. state legislatures took
action against II. Notification acts
were passed Leading statesmen
signed the Southern Manifesto. In
some areas the Ku Klux Khan
came TO life again. White Citizens
Councils we're organized.
Negroes who petition school
boards 10 desegregate the schools
are threatened. Efforts are being
made In four states to destroy the
NAACP mainly because II has
argued successfully before the
Supreme Court 80 out OF the 80
cases. The press, the radio and
television are used by the South
10 convince the nation that the
Supreme Court made a mistake In
declaring segregation uneonstitu-
tional.
And yet Negroes have more
than obeyed. They accepted both
segregation and inequality and
the humiliation that accompany
them. For 90 years since 1896 Ne.
groes have staged no riots in de-
fiance OF decision that embar-
raases them and places upon them
badges OF inferiority.
II is painfully Disappointing to
southern Negroes that the white
leadership OF the South did in this
instance what II has traditlonally
and habitually done II acted rs
II Negroes do not exist. In most OF
the deep southern states Negroes
constitute from % to 10 per cent
Of the population. When the SUI
preme Court handed down It's de-
cision declaring segregation In the
public schools unconstitutional, II
would have been the part OF wis
dom for the leadership OF the two
groups concerned in the deer
South TO sit down in their respec.
tive communities and discuss
calmly tho decision and decide
what the next step would be In the
light OF the decision, This was not
done.
Governors, state attorney gen,
erals, politicians, school officials
and newspapers began TO castigatt
the Supreme Court and announc,
what the South was not going I,
do, All the while they meant IN,
white south.
Negroes for the most part
were never consulted. In the one
or two cases where they werr
consulted, the plan was cut and
dried beforehand, To these lead
ers tho Negroes are not a part
OF the South, And herein lies the
tragedy Of human relations In
many areas % our South. Things
arr done for Negroes and not
with them, They are told what
the decisions are but aro not
permitted 10 participate In the
decisions.

The United States emerged from

Such a decision would have
