Seven residents of Kodiak be- came citizens of the United States in fitting ceremony held in the courtroom Tuesday. An overflow crowd audience was in attendance.

 Dr. Gordon Palmer spoke to the new citizens oln the subject of "The Privilege tf Being an Ameri- can" In a stirring message, pr. Gordon stated: One of the great est privileges under God is to be an American citizen" He spoke from first hand experience, he said, because he came to this country from another land. He drew on his personal experiences to show the United States as a land of opportunity where each has equal rights to gain an tluca- tion and to work.
 Tt is all wrong he said, Ito designate one group as Anglo American, another Italian-Ameri- can or Russian-American. There is no such thing. After taking your oath of allegiance you rel nounce allegiance to any other country or ruler. You are an American"

came on a regular assembly day,
Lanier's entire student body had
the privilege of hearing him speak.
He made it clear that although he
was happy to visit the school and
see it in action, his main reason
for coming was to see Thompson,
whom he complimented highly.
In his talk he developed the fol-
lowing four points:
/. Scientists are people whose
curiosity makes them wonder about
things.
2. They study hard to understand
the things that make them Won
der.
8. Scientists keep accurate rec
ords of their findings.
4. They hesitate to reach con-
illusions because they want to be
certain.
According to DR.. Johnson, one
does not have to be a scientist to
be scientific. Everybody who thinks
logically and is systematic in what
he does can be classed as a scien-
tific person.
He concluded by declaring that
every citizen, at one time or an
other, is called upon to make an
important decision. The more
scientific he is, the more success
full he will be at making decisions.

The speaker did not limit his
remarks to segregation in the
South, where at least the excuse
of a long-standing system gives
historic reason for present unrea-
sonableness," but added:
"The petty prosecutions of the
North are obnoxious and irritating
and thoroughly inexcusable. Cath
olics, to be sure, have q record OF
leadership which is full of inspira-
ton, but we should be only deceiv-
ing ourselves if we pretended that
our people are even now unan-
imously persuaded on this point.
Msgr. Lally took issue with per.
sons who maintained that the pull.
pit should be used only for express
ing "the pious."
In this view, he said, the pulpit
and the sermon join to form q
''kind Of spiritual balm by which
we bring comfort to our present
woes and accept them with some
assurance that things are bound
to be better in the days ahead.
ITO think Of Christ in terms
Of what we may call the merely
pious is to turn the vigor and the
strength Of the Gospel into most
deceptive dimti0n."

The NAACP in Mississippi has
been operating in the open and
its leaders have been outspoken.
But it has never published the
number of its members, much less
their names and the sources of
contribution. The NAACP says
some members are white. Segre-
gationists would like nothing bet
ter than to know who they are.
The state NAACP has gone no
further toward mixing of races in
Mississippi than having petitions
filed with school boards in several
cities. But leaders are frank to
say forced integration is still theil
aim. The investigation would de-
termine the organizations "ulti-

The Alabama case is somewhat

A Necessity For Freedom

The Negro Newspaper, important segment OF the
Great American Press, is one hundred and thrtyone
years old this week Today in 1927 there is tremen
dous need for its untrammeed voice of truth freedom
and justice The Negro Press is the conscience of Amer
ica Throughout its distinguished history it has ever
been in the forefront of the fight for decency and right
Originating in the struggle of our forefathers to win
freedom and full citizenship the Negro Press today faces
the necessity of greater effort toward the ultimate full
fillment of its original mission.
Now functioning in age of dynamic transitions
the hunger for enlightenment deepens desegregation
becomes legal and segregation itself becomes
real.
Because there those who would still deny
citizens full to good life and would not have
the truth known, it becomes incumbent upon the
Negro Press to readily, openly and fully expose every
in this manner the Negro Press remain the most
democratic of all newspapers, by supplying the great
variety of facts and opinions necessary to extend
and accelerate democracy.
AS the progenitor of everything worthwhile about
its readers well those who would aid their pro-
gress, the Negro Press sngulary supplies that
ness which must precede intelligent group action But
the veil OF ignorance, superstition and fear must be
further penetrated if full victory is to be won. Thus
until that day. the Negro Press must remain the
ageous, clear, calm voice sounding from the bridge
pointing out the shoals ahead
Never in the history of Journalism has the need to
keep the issue of equality clear been acute Never
has the opportunity for press to become truly
great asset in the struggle for human dignity been
manifest
On the of the beginning of its 132nd year of
service, the Negro Press full cognizant of its expand
ing responsibility rededicates itself with renewed vigor
and determination to the unfinished task of achieving
society in which there will be unimportant people,
