Youth Leads

Last week the Negro youth Of the city act
ed against the despicable pattern Of segYeg-
ated eating places in Phoenix. They mar
slsalled forces under the banner Of the NAACP
youth council and told their elders that some
thing should be done Immediately.
No one can a'aalyze their reasons without
realizing that they we're simply disguised
with the inactivity of the adults who supposed
ly head the local NAACP program. Perhaps,
these young high school and college students
felt that If this is to be the home Of the bT0Oe
and the land of the free that they had better
take hand in making it happen.
In view of the inner txYnaoils OF the MARI
coba NAACP branch and the statewide con-
fusion existing between tsO0 or more factions,
no purpose eful action has been displayed by
the leaders Of this group. They haze been

Forty years ago the Nineteenth
Amendment to the Constitution

was adopted. Women were given
the right to vote. They were
able to vote in all states and
help decide who would repre-

The feminine sex has been ex-
ercising great control over the
world since the famous '1ook at
that big red ball" stunt was
pulled off by conniving Eve. Vtr-
lie Adam wanted to show his
manly powers and win her love.
Who can tell--perhaps that arch
villain serpent and vixen Evie
were partners.
No doubt women instigated the
first scalping incidents. Prim-
tive folksingers Travelled from
cave town to cave town singing
the praises of the fair haired
damsels across the mountain
ridge. Although the girls couldn't
vote, they made sure that some
fancy wigs were waiting for them
in the next bag OF war loot.

Negro businessmen Of Wash
ington must be prepared to
assume civic responsibilities
which accompany the increas-
ing proportion Of Negroes in
the National Capital, declared
Berkeley G. Burrell, president
Of the District of Columbia
Chamber Of Commerce, Friday
night.
In assuming the presidency
Of the Negro business organiza-
ton at a Hamilton Hotel
dinner, Mr.. Burrell said THE
businessmen and women in the
community are the people to
whom it normally looks for
support" He is proprietor of a
chain Of five retail drycleaning
stores and a wholesale dry
cleaning plant here.
Boys Club drives. United
Givers Fund, emergency aid
programs, hospital donations,
funds for YMCA, and other
contributions should individu-
ally mean expenditures of thou
sands of dollars, he declared.
Cites Ratio of So Per Cent
Pointing to the estimated
ratio Of SO per cent Negroes
in the city, Mr.. Burren added:
"Let us assume, for a mo-
ment. that support from the
overall community is curtailed
because of the ever-increasing
load of uneconomic non
whites" he continued. Should
such a situation arise, and there
are some murmurings, we must
be prepared to put our shoul-
ders to the wheel and show the
Nation and the world that we
have the power and the will
to convert what seems to be a
deadweight Of economic liabil-
ity into the componentS Of
progress"
The Chamber has made some
progress in this direction in
recent years, said Mr.. Burrell,
but he added:
Nov as 1860 begins, we are
confronted with an entirely
new type Of opposition from a
group which mistakenly identi-
f1es itself as the new Negro.
We would identify them in
stead as what our good friend,
DR.. Carter Woodson, referred
to as the 'miseducated Negro,
the Self-efficient, arrog ant
SNUG and under-exposed indi-
vidual who feels that he has
arrived.

in his desire to 'disassociate
and his failure to share his
knowledge with people of his
own race, who he feels are not
up to standards that he now
knows.

people are judged on the basis

arm was under her body, the other lay flung out, the

the crimson stain was the hilt of a large Kurdish
