eotlona stress the council considers Something of an
achievement During these two years concerted efforts
IN LOUISIANA for instance cut Negro registration by
around II per cent while white registration rose
Much as such purges suggest possible violations of
fundamental rights the council believes that the Ne

Leaders OF both races long have contended that if
all bars to Negro voting removed tomorrow there
still would not be great rush to the polls

tional Testing Service of Prince

The College Fund assumed re-
sponsibility for administering the
cooperative examinations in 1858,
when more than 1900 candidates
were tested. Some 70 percent of
the students taking the examina-
ton were from southern states.
The Virgin Islands, the District of
Columbia and 20 other states were
| also represented.
Coordinated testing for scholar
ships was inagurated by Is of the
Funds member college is 1861. The
tests have been increasingly sue
cessful during the ensuing years.
Last year, few of the colleges
also used the tests as a basis for
freshman admissions. In 1859, the
tests will serve all the participant
ing schools in selecting both schol-
arship recipients and freshman
students.
Pre-admission testing of high
school prospects provides an OBJ
jective and uniform method of Sc
Letting freshmen, according to DR..
Mays, who is also president of
UNCF's Morehouse College, At
lanta, Ga.
"High-school grades and rankin
class do not always give an &C
curate picture because of the wide
variations in grading systems and
scholastic competition. Scores
made on standardized admission
tests do more than point up ex-
ceptional students. They remove
much of the guesswork in the Sc
lection of college applicants. The
tests should reduce the number of
freshman failures in UNCF col
leges.
"The cooperative plan has also
reduced the expenses of the COL
leges by scheduling the jointly fl
nanced examination in strategic
ally located centers," DR.. Mays
said. Further, it reduces the dis
ruption of high-school programs by
enabling all interested students in
an area to be tested at one sit
ting"
In addition to the testing pro-
gram, the College Fund provides
advisory services on academic cur
ricula and business management
for its member institutions.
Through its annual nationwide APP
peal, the Fund raises 10 percent
of the yearly operating costs of
the participating colleges and uni
versities.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY

On Saturday night what it is, and
what makes Parish st. on Christ

Parish St. on Saturday night and
Parish st. on Christmas night is
where you can always see some
thing and hear something and If
your eyes or ears are keyed TO

thing and see something that bears
the stamp of what my grandma
meant when she was talking about
"horse sense" For instance, Christ

got to say something about the
Christmas talk overheard from
Parish Streeters as they gathered,
like it was, around their fish and
beer. One fellow starts out by
saying, we'll, Christmas is here now
and everybody will be giving some
thing but most of the giving will
be folks giving somebody some
thing who don't need what they
give them and the other folks Civ
ing them back something that they
don't need, and all the folks what
do that kind of giving they think
that they are having grand and
glorious Christmas and all day
Christmas and a long time after
wards they'll be calling up Sal and
Sue, and Tom, Dick and Harry
talking about what a great Christ
mas they had and calling off the
list of who they got gifts from and
who they sent gifts to. Well, to
this fellow that I'm listening to
that amt no Christmas, at least
he say that amt the way it should
work out if the Man that Christmas
was invented for had anything to
do with the giving. Still talking,
he says, all that kinda giving don't
count for nothing cause it's most
ly swapping :. you give me
something good and ! give you
something good and on the
other hand folks don't get no credit
for giving to them that's got. |
been thinking ever since | heard
that conversation about how much
more merry" Christmas could be
to a lot of folks if they had
better understanding of Christmas
giving and if their gifts were di-
rected mere in accordance with the
idea of the man who said, '1t is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive" got good idea for
folks who want to do some real

can give folks what they need and
don't have to be worrying about
giving them what they might like.
The kind of giving to any one is

Hospital.
The 70-year-old Chicago born ac-

after complaining with stomach
troubles, and was almost immedi-
ately placed on the critical list.
AS colorful in real life as on

But Mrs. Louise Lassiter Of
Northampton County contends that
several sections of the federal Con-
stitution are violated by the blan-
ket requirement that registrants
must be able to read and write
any section of the state Constitu-
ton.
In an unusual mid-week series
of actions, the court accepted for
review cases which may clarity
it's controversial "Jencks ruling"
of 1857. One of these was the ap-
peal of Junius Irving Scales, for
merly of Greensboro, N. c., and
now of New York, a Communist
convicted for the second time I'M
der the Smith Act.
The Jencks decision held that il
the government calls for informer
to testify in a criminal case, per-
tinent reports he made to the FBI
must be produced on demand as
check on the truth of his trial tes-
timony.
A new federal law on this SUBJ
ject passed an as aftermath of
the decision was at stake in the
Scales case. The law provides
that the presiding judge shall de-
eide which reports the defense shall
get.
The Scales appeal also chal-
lenges the constitutionality of the
Smith Acts membership clause,
which makes it a crime to be
member of an organization to the
violent overthrow of the govern
ment. .

In his answer to the petition
the pastor at the hearing before
Judge Summers presented evidence
to show that in official church ac-

ing majority of the active members
Of the church had rejected the eff
forts of the Armstrong group to
Gust him from pastor Of the church.
Attorney Sidney R. Tharp, him

resented Rev. West during the
hearing, and during the question
ing of Armstrong before Judge
Summers, sought to show that
the Armstrong led movement to
GUST Rev. West was of far more
deeper significance.
Armstrong was pictured during
the hearing as very active if
not a fanatical NAACP worker,
and delegate to the Communist
backed progressive party conven-
ton in 1948, whose Parish Street
Newsstand according to Arm

sell Negro news which do not back

Negro Poem - DUBARD
WE MUST LOVE ONE
ANOTHER THE BIBLE
TELLS US so
When l have finished my life in
this world
Then Jesus will open Heavens door
And welcome me into His Fathers
kingdom
Where | will live forever more.
He tells us His yoke is easy
And His burdens light
For all who have been born again
And He was speaking of both black
and white.
Christ came to fulfill His Fathers
With His blood for every living
And He didn't mention any color
at all
He only gave one man white face.
The leprosy turned this man white,
there is no yes or no
The Holy Bible tells US so
That we have got to love one an
other
If we expect Heaven to be our
home.
We need more pure Christians in
Gods House
Where the salvation of God can
abide
Religion is only duty to perform
you see
But Christ's life is a new birth we
can't hide.
We have got to obey the will of
God
Without the love of God we are lost
To get into Gods kingdom we must
be born again
And let Jesus Christ our Lord be
our boss.
The Holy Bible says for US to love
Salvation will be at the end
We have to clean cut Gods House
today
And stop filling it up with SO much
sin.
1t seems we want to make a child
of God
But we have got to be born again
Born of the spirit of Christ our
Lord
And free from all our sins.
All who enjoy Gods man each week
Drop me a card and l will enjoy
every word
1t helps me to get closer to my
Lord
And tell my people to love one
another every day
And train that sinful boy.
l will gladly come to preach for
you all
If l get a card from everyone
God will bless me on my way
Whenever His will be done.

suit, On the ground that he, Rev.
Darby, was trying to make the
church a center of NAACF activ-
ity, according to newspaper reports.
Armstrong and his group, ac-
cording to these sources, charged
that Rev. West was just the oppo-
site of Rev. Darby.
Rev. West, on what he points to
as firm religious principle, as oas-
tor of the church, has refused to-
endorse its use for NAACP and
any other political activities.
Following the hearing Wednes-
day afternoon, Judge Summers or
dered that an immediate church
election be held and if the results
support Rev. West as pastor, that
Tom Armstrong and his group be
expelled and denied further men,
