Curley's lead actually forced

GUARDIAN EDITOR, the
late Maude Trotter Steward,
became a lifelong friend of
Curley and the Guardian be-
came one of his favorite pap
ers. A year ago this month,
James Michael visited Mrs.
Steward at Boston City Hos
pital. Both old friends were
in their eighties. Mr.. Curley
had the hospital staff give the
Guardian editor the best
available aid and considera-
ton. Curley recalled that
even with the most adverse
criticisms, the Guardian hao
never let him down.
THE POPULARITY of James
Michael was enhanced by this
fact that he seldom if ever
forgot his friends: Curley
made many personal visits to
Colored American individuals
or groups. He enjoyed using
rostrUm or radio 60 compare
the similar expressions, aims
and goals of the Irish and
Colored People. He liked to
recall that James Boyle
O'Reilly wrote of and revived
the glory Of Crispus Attucks.
He made an historic speech
paying tribute to the Jews.
THIS LIBERAL thinking of
a man who was reared in the
narrow prejudices of early
New England is one of the
most remarkable chapters of
the Curley saga. He was the
factor who brought the Irish
and Colored populace of the
Bay State closer. True the, 9
are both Irish and coloreu
men Of prejudice even today.
But one cannot deny the good
works Of The Archbishop, Jim
Curley, Cong. Mccormack,
Maurice Tobin, Paul Dever,
Dave Egan, Fitzpatrick ana
many more.
THE TROTTERS had a lot
in common with Curley and
the Irish Americans, as he
himself used to admit. Both
were fighting even here in
Boston for equal rights and
| job opportunities. The Cur
ley Liberals" under Tobin
pushed thru FEPC and other
reforms in this state. John
Mccormack waged war against
the Dixiecrats for many years.
The Archbishop began MS
Priesthood in the South End.
ALI these men knew Curley
and were influenced by his
good intent.

interests was to fight the bus lines and the
air lines. That attitude did not last long be
cause the railroads soon realized that if
some other form of transportation gave
better service to the public, the public
would use that form Of transportation.
Railroads still are struggling to regain
lost breath in the field Of passenger trans
portation but they have made some gigan-
tic strides Of late in freight transportation
and some in passenger, too.
There is no reason why air, bus and rail
transportation should not all tie in togeth-
er for the benefit Of each and especially for
the benefit of the public.

Atomic Defenses

DESPITE the fact that atomic bombs
= have been exploding since l945 II and
that is twelve years ago - the United
States today is the most vulnerable to
atomic attack Of all the major nation, with
the possible exception Of Great Britain.
The British can do very little about their
situation, which is aggravated by the
smalness Of the island and its nearness to
Europe. However, they may have already
done more than the United States
In this country, our armament industry
is concentrated in metropolitan areas and
an atomic attack on many Of our defense
plants and industrial cities, where SO much
of our industry is located, would cause I'M
told havoc and destruction.
In spite Of this obvious fact, no one has
been able to face the terrific problem Of
building sufficient underground facilities,
factories and shelters to carry on a war eff
fort in case we are surprised by an enemy

Tied-In Transportation

THE Greyhound Bus Lines have signed a
contract with I6 passenger arlines and
two freight carrying air companies to sup
plement air freight with bus stop delivery.
This viii mean that almost any village on
a main highway will have air freight serv-
ice available to it. the freight travelling ma
jor portions Of its journey by air and being
transported from the air line city terminal
to the addressee by bus.
This is simply part Of many steps which
different types Of carriers are taking to
keep up With-and meet the competition Of
other types of carriers The Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad some time ago arranged
for Interchange Of rail and air freight with
Slick Always one Of the largest air freight
transport companies in the world. Various
railroads now are pilmg truck trailer units
on tiatcars to be hauled from rail head to
rail head. 4 California railroad is building
pipeline on its right Of way TO use III lieu
OF tank cars, for transportation of petrol
cum products.
All of these things are excellent steps
and indicate new progressiveness and ar
gressiveness on the part Of those concern

Mid-East Hot Spot

THE danger of war impends in the Mid
die East and the latest Israeli asser-
tons that interference with its shipping
rights in the Suez Canal would lead to ac-
ton on the part of Israel is an ominous
warning.
The situation was worsened in recent
recent days because of Egypts apparent
retreat from an agreement made with the
United States and Britain several months
ago. At that time, Egypt agreed to six
principles as a basis of settlement Of the
Suez Canal issue. However, h e latest
Egyptian proposal merely states h a t

between the Arabs and Israel, because the
plight of these Arab refugees is actually
pitiful one, which should be solved in the
interest of humanity

attack. The Civil Defense effort in the
United States is fine, as far as it goes, but
no one has given Civil Defense enough
thought or enough push to actually pre-
pare this country for eventualities which
will occur in case Of Sudden attack
Russia has repeatedly made far greater
preparation for surviving atomic attacks
than the United States. Russia is reported
to have many factories in the Ural Noun
tains, widely DISPERSED and the Russian
economy could probably function more eff
ficiently after an atomic attack than could
ours. The Russians also have a natural ad-
vantage of greater area, and this makes
1t all the more advisable for the United
States to safeguard its industrial centers
This has not been done, is not being done
and probably will not be done sufficiently

that they would gain benefits by doing so.

has indicated crisis may develop in the
near future and these developments may
occur before you read these lines. The
United States is committed to Israel's po-
sition and has affirmed its beliefs in the
rights Of Israel to use the Suez Canal and
the Gulf of Aqaba.
However. we do not believe the Arab
States intend to give in on this point, and
when the showdown on this question comes,
the crisis in the Middle East may be as hot
as ever In case Of war between Israel and
the Arab States, the United States should
do everything possible to keep clear Of it.
The picture is uncear at the moment,
and Washington can only hope that it will
be possible to localize any conflict which
may develop.

What God Has Done

What has been accomplished by
Gods D-Day? One thing is, that
Gods power has been shown. once
and for all Over and over in the
New Testament, especially in the
letters Of Paul, the power with
which God raised Christ from the
dead is called the same power that
works in Christians The victory
over sin and death which we see
in Christ, can be the hope and to
an increasing degree the exper-
fence Of our own live s. There real
ly is difference between living
in the world before Christ and af-
ter. All that Christ was and did
and said, climaxed by the resurrec-
ton. are ever before our minds If
we only think Before Christ, no
one on earth really know what
God could do. Since Christ, men
OF faith do know The other achieve
ment Of D-Day's victory is, for us,
sharing in God S certainty Of vic
tory which finally shah be com
plete. One Of the easiest and subj
lest temptations into which We can
fall is to wonder whether God may
not at last be overwhelmed by
universe which he created but can
not now control Realizing what
D-Day means, we need never have
such fears

raise a question in the minds OF
both Christians and unbelievers.
If it is true that Christ has won
for us the victory over sin and
death. if it is true that it is He
who has the true authority over
man and history, how is it that the
world racks along in such a slow,

WE have been taught from childhood that
Eirginians are distinguished not only by
their good works and successes in business,

because of graciousness, a courteousness,

sense Of propriety. Eirginians recognize
and appreciate customs and mores,-proud

days. when we can sing happily
about what God has done They
are chauenge-days calling us to
thought, attitude, action, as BELTS
children Of the mighty God As for
death, we can see clear through
it. Christ has shown US the glory
on the other side. AS for sin, Christ
bore our sins with Him Ito the
tree" as Peter said The power
that wrought in Him is available
for US in our struggles against evil.
But there is something more than
this. John Baltic speaks of our
era, between the time Of Jesus
and the end Of time, as 1.-The years
OF grace" that the great task of
Christians is just the very thing
which Matthew leaves with his
readers as the climax Of his story
Of Christ "All authority has been

urnph.
