Back around 1924, or thereabouts l

same week, Bob Garrett, and some
others whose names slip me for the

white South African police near johannesburg 1875
persons were arrested. On April % the figure was
given to Parliament officially by the Minister of JUS

Wider Use For Social Security

A convincing for using the Federal Social
Security System to finance health insurance for older
people has been made by Nationwide Insurance. 1t is
not only because of the arguments used but
also because of it's source.
Nationwide has had unique experience in giving
the public protection Founded by small group of Ohio
farmers in 1926 cooperative automobile insurance
with capital of $4,000 it has become of
the largest insurance operations in the country. With
assets of than $3.50 million it gives many kinds of
coverage in 20 states through than three million
outstanding policies.
The directors of Nationwide have stated in form
al resolution that the health costs of older people
not being met by insurance that those IS haven't

that Nationwide favorS the of the social
ty principle to help meet their needs and specf

provide basic health insurance to those eligible for

memorandum ably summarizes the statistical
and historical evidence for the stand Nationwide has
taken. 1t emphasizes point which seems to be gen.
orally overlooked in the current discussions 1t claims
that far from damaging the interest of private nsur
ance companies the companies would have broader,
sounder market for voluntary insurance among old
people by building the basic provisions of social
insurance legislation"
The Nationwide memorandum also points out that

The Lord made man out of the dust
of the earth
He sa witt to give man a soul
He blew breath into mans nostril
Man is the power Of this world as
! see.
With the breath of Gods Heavenly
Father
He gave man to rule this world.
When he blew breath into man
The power of his breath gave man
his power and soul.
God made man, he was neither
black Or white
In his image we are told
He blew breath into his nostril to
be a living soul
Not to give the woman the power,
young or old
This is Gods man, and I shall obey
His will
We are using too much of self in
Gods house
We allow the world program in
Gods house
We must have money, the lover of
it is evil.
We can't get along with money,
not to love it
But we must love one another
O. yes, we have too much business
in Gods house
When we need more love in Gods
house.
We might as we'll straighten up
today
We are trying to fly up too high
Yet Christ is at Heavens door you
1t is the love of God to get us by.
Gods Heaven will never be
crowded
Not with this present mixed race
There are few Heaven workers
today
Because money is taking loves
place.
Every race is picking his lord to-
day
And one another, they are almost
forgotten
Christ is the only doorkeeper of
Heaven
So, we have got to love one an
other or give up one race and
stop.
Too many loving the world and
her goods
But Christ is our one to love to-
day
In Gods Heaven we are far today
Too many divided people today.
We must be born again of the love
of God
Too much hatred in the way
We must love one another today
Like won't get US in Heaven, it
is love,

ANTIDOTE FOR FEAR
Upon returning home, the Afri-
can writers work in their own
vernaculars.
Gail Africans are religious. But
Christians are a minority, and the
competition for African souls is
keen"
When not writing on religious
subjects, the class addressed it's
effort to themes of better hous-
ing, sanitation, polygamy, equal
opportunities for women, and pol
itics, she added.
The student who said, 81 like
to write about Gods love in a
cheerful way" Miss Warfield said,
voiced the particular yearning of
the African to find an antidote
for fear. The Christians antidote

Projects such as the writing

it already has shown concrete re-
suits, Miss Warfield told her au-
dience.
This teacher learned more than
the students did. ! learned was
in an unpredictable country where
nothing is certain but change"
But from such a nucleus as this
project the Christians hope and
inspiration may "radiate" far and
wide, she said. How is it, that this
is so?
Concluding, she answered this
question by quoting the Africans
reply to "How are your" 1t is:
"Bu giu rae" meaning "No

The Borough President has sus-

There were renewed indications
from both the defense and from
Alfred ]. Scott, chief assistant
district attorney, that Robert
Moses, former chairman of the
Committee on Stun Clearance, and
Mayor Wagner might be called as
witnesses.
Both sides asked the talesmen
whether the high positions of Mr..
Wagner and Mr.. Moses would cause

testimony than to that Of others
Mr.. Chance reminded one pro-
spective juror that even if Mr..
Jack did not take the witness
stand to answer the charges in the
indictment, Mr.. Jack still would
be presumed innocent until all the
evidence was in.
At one point, just before the
luncheon recess, Mr.. Baker and
Mr.. Scott exchanged sharp words.
Mr.. Scott had objected to Mr..
Bakers "instructing the prospect
i've jurors in points Of law" instead
of leaving that to the Judge.
Mr.. Baker replied to Mr.. Scott:
you've been doing that for two

At that moment Judge Joseph

by announcing the recess.

every walk of life have repetedly
asked US what is to be done this
election year to cease the equivo-
cation of both political parties on
the issue of civil rights? How do
we move against the bipartisan
chicanery that reigns in the halls
of Congress What is to be done
to register our insistence that both
political parties repudiate the seq
regationists within their ranks
and any political alliances with
segregationists?
The time has come when the po-
litical parties of this country must
feel this revolutionary mood and
determination of the Negro people
We have therefore wired promi-
nent community leaders, Negro and
white, in Los Angeles and Chicago,
informing them that we intend TO
be present at both the Democratic
and Republican Conventions. We
are asking them to cooperate with
us in a massive non-violent March
on the Conventions Movement for
Freedom Now!" The millions CT
Negroes denied the right to vote
in the South are appealing to the
people Of Los Angeles and Chicago
to represent them before the Con-
ventions.
- We believe that if the candidates
and parties expect Negroes and
their white allies to have any con-
fidence in them, they must make
a fortnight declaration that ra-
cial segregation and discrimination
in any form is unconstitutional,
un-American, and immoral. The
Supreme Court decision on inte-
grafton can become the law of the
land, and the elementary require
ments of democracy be satisfied,
only if both parties repudiate the
ninorities in their ranks who have
combined in Washington to thwart
the Supreme Court decision and
the cry for justice Of the Negro
people. Unless the two major par
ties make such a declaration, the
Negro people will remain double
disfranchised first, because they
are barred from the polls, and Sec
ondly, because they are denied po-
litical representative through the
existing parties. In the spirit Of
the Southern students, we shall
march on the conventions in mass
to serve notice that we will no
longer endure this double disfran-
chisement and that no party which
ignores the just demands of our
10 million people can look to
long future.
At present, no candidate for the
presidency has measured up to the
courage of the Southern students.
All Of them have looked the other
way when their parties have toll
ertaed racists or made deals with
racists. We are going to present
a list of questions to all the can
didates. We are going to demand
specific answers and a specific
program Of augmentation. The
time of compromise and empty
generalities is over. The time for
action is now. The heroic students
Of the South have shown the
way, and the least we can do is
to carry their demands, and those
Of all Negroes who are denied the
right to vote, directly to the po-
litical conventions.
