New York, July 3o.-President
Eisenhower and the Republican
party were this week charged with,
running out on the civil rights
ISSUE" by NAACP Executive Sec
rotary Roy wilkins.
Mr.. wilkins referred to the 1918
vote Of the House Judiciary Com
nnittee on July % to kill language
of the civil rights bill authorizing,
''the Attorney General to act in
all types Of denial Of civil rights"
At present, the Attorney Cen
erals office is empowered only to
act in situations where citizens
are deprived of their voting rights.
Elaborating on the stricken por-
ton of the bill, Mr.. wilkins said
that, the Republicans supported
this language in the 1856 and 1857
bills and the party leadership made
it a part Of the 1856 campaign
platform.
Under pressure Of their ultra
conservative wing" Mr.. wilkins
continued, "the Republicans have
thus repudiated their stand of 1856
and have gone backwards on civil
rights to 1855.
Southern Democrats have only
nine members on the committee.
BY themselves they could never
have struck out the language,
which means they received help
from the Republicans" Mr.. wilkins
asserted.
I'VE know that only two Re-
publicans voted for the language,
leaving nine to join the Dixiecrats
and to make up the 1918 vote.
The Democrats mustered eleven
out Of their twenty-one members in
favor Of the Part III language"
said Mr.. wilkins referring to that
portion of the bill most hated by
Southern politicians. IF the Re-
publicans had done as well, the
section would have been adopted"
he said.
Turning his attention to the ma
tons Chief Executive, Mr.. Wilkins
added that, President Eisenhower
did not include civil rights among
his must legislation and obviously
gave no leadership on this vital
section of the bill before the COM
mittee.
IF Negro citizens are to secure
enactment Of this essential sec
ton, they will have to do so with
out the help of the President" Mr..
wilkins pointed out.
we intend to support efforts
which win be made to attach the
Part. III language to the bill when
it reaches the floor" he concluded.

Sunday morning August 2. was
a lovely day and the drop in tenn
perature was welcomed by many
church goers. Rev. M. L. Simmons
delivered an inspiring communion
message, in spite of q heavy laden
heart due to so much illness and
the many deaths among people Of
the community.
His text was when We Turn
from God" jeremiah 2:13, For my
people have committed two evils,
they have forsaken me the foun-
tain of living waters, and hewed
them out cisterns, broken cisterns,
that can hold no water" Rev.
Simmons stated that there is a
parallel between the present day
in which we live and the DAYS of
Jeremiah, for jeremiah was a true
prophet Of God.
The speaker further stated that
no situation is changed by a con-
formist and that jeremiah didn't
come out for fame, he came out
for truth and insisted that religion
be put back into ritual. He en-
phasized that when man cries out
with sincerity, God will hear and
answer; that religion is more than
just attending church and that a
christian work is never done as
long as people are out of the fold
In conclusion the Pastor pointed
out that one who forsakes God
must take the one road left, the
one that leads to he'll, for they have
turned to broken cisterns that hold
no water and its tragic.
Rev. Simmons christened four
children just proceeding his mes
sage. They were Sheri-Anne Free
man, Yoette, Arnold and Ronald
Irving.
The Senior Choir and the Can
tinos provided the music. Miss
Barbara Greene was at the piano
and Mrs. Dorothy Sims at the
organ.

Washington (ANP) - Sen. Ken
meth Heating (R., N.Y. recently
attacked ex-New York Gov. Aver
ell Hartman for stating that
President Eisenhower had not
stood up on the issue Of school
segregation.
He said he found it hard to be-
lieve that Gov. Hartman had really
become so divorced from reality
and 30 little informed on facts that
he could have made such a state
ment without some inner qualms.
The New York Republican furth-
er stated he didn't believe the
speakers audience the annual
NAACP convention, would accept
''this political-cartoon version Of
the facts at face value"
Ike Has Done Much
Heating praised Mr.. Eisenhower
for doing more administratively to
advance the cause Of equal rights
for all Americans than any other
President in history. He spoke Of
the Administrations bill before
congress as a program including
an explicit endorsement Of the in
tegration decision Of 1854 as the
supreme law of the land"
In his speech on the Senate
floor, Heating declared that chose
who claim to be for civil rights, but
expend their energies on criticiz-
ing the President, would do far
more to advance the cause Of civil
rights, were they to study the ad-
ministration program and use their
influence with their friends to get
behind a program that means
something - rather than an ILL
usion of a civil rights program"
Heating admitted the ground
has been laid for pushing a token
bill through Congress.
ANY such measure would be a
fraud on the American people who
look to Congress for meaningful
action to assure to each child in
this country the rights vouchsafed
by the Supreme courts school de-
cision."
