The Right To Vote

If the popular image of fiibuster has Senators

the telephone directory and speaking every topic but
the one under consideration the image had better be
changed In the current flibuster one of the besor
gained on record surprising amount of the talk has
actually been or less relevant to the civil rights e
isation that is before the Senate In the exuber
ance of their onesided debate" however some of the
Southern contingent clearly losing themselves and
occasionally trying to prove too much.
Senator Russell made great point the other day of
the statement that only rs cent of the Negroes of
voting age registered in Cleveland, Ohio where
there against Negro registration Senator
Fubght too, noted that only So per cent of the Ne
groes in the North had voted in the four national cleo
lions prior to 1856, compared with white average of
81 per cent Presumably the effort of these Senators
and others of their colleagues who took I'D the same
theme to show that Negroes wouldn't register or
vote in large numbers if they had the right to-
so why all the fuss?
Mr.. Fubright quoted from the 1859 report of
the Clvl Rights Commission which said that in Atlanta
where Negroes register freely only 20 per cent have
done So compared to al percent of the whites In New
Orleans the comparative figures % and so per cent

(Ihough in the next paragraph, which Mr. Fubright
did not quote the commission added that something
more than apathy is involved).
In any event, this argument and the figures them

striving so desperately to block further leg
slaton Ii what they afraid of Negro domination
at the polls and yet the statistics prove that Negroes
are IN no rush to exercise the franchise they have

their resistance against the Negro VOTE now deprive
themselves through this argument of any practical
reason.
1t perfectly true, of course that too few Negroes
exercise the franchise where they have it. just as too
few whites do That failure is one of the serious de-
fects in democracy but it does not alter in anv wav

the right to vote freely whether they choose to exer

NAIROBI, Kenya. - At Moshi
Tanganyika, the most spectacular
meeting of Graham's African tour
attracted thirty-five thousand peo-

As the small planes Of the Ora

Sunday they could see the tower

This colorful assemblage was

contained a generous sprinkling Of
Asians and Europeans. The min

ATOMIC POWER STALL Blamed
ON IkE'S 'BUDGET-BALANcINc'

The AFL-CIO has sharply as.
sailed the Administrations "wait.
and-see" attitude on peaceful de.
velopment of atomic energy ant
has charged that the failure t.
move forward with a vigorous nu.
clear power program stems di
rectly from Pres. Eisenhower:
preoccupation with ''budget-bal

10-year program offered recentl.
by the Atomic Energy Commission
which calls for eventual construc
ton of reactors to produce l mil
lion kilowatts of energy. Five
years ago, he noted, the Acc was
forecasting a 2-million-kilowatt nu
clear power capacity by 1860.
In testimony before the Join
Committee on Atomic Energy, the
AFL-CIO spokesman accused the
Acc of having made "a major
concession to the Budget Bureaus
bookkeeping theory of achieving
national policy goals" by scaling
down plans for peaceful atomic ac-
complishment.
Biemiller urged the committee
headed by Sen. Clinton P. Ander.
son (D-N. NJ to give serious con-
sideration to the five-point pro-
gram adopted by the AFL-CIO's
third constitutional convention in
San Francisco last September. The
convention called on Congress to:
Establish accelerated programs
to develop nuclear power in large
amounts and at costs competitive
with those of power generated by
conventional fuels"
achieve greater protection to
the health and safety of workers
and the general public from radia-
tion hazards"
Safeguard development of this
new industry from being monopo-
lized by a few large corporations"

ture."

uses of the atom and aiding free
world countries in establishing

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Whilst I was settin down
in my favorite spot indulging my
Satdee mite repast of Fish and beer
though I would say to you'alls
here. This is Negro Newspaper
week, (Feb. 1919, the one week
in the year when Negro news
papers join hands across the nation
to call attention to the contribution
they have made to democracy.
Their efforts during the past year
toward interracial progress, dig
nifty and tolerance have unlocked
the door to better and happier
life for everyone. They deserve
your continued cooperation and
patronage because they educate for
freedom. Like Walter Williams,
longtime Dean, school of Journal
ism here's what I believe
l believe that the public journal
is public trust; that all connected
with it are, to the full measure of
their responsibility, trustees for
the public; that acceptance of q
lesser service than the public SER
vice is betrayal of this trust.
believe that clear thinking and
clear statement, accuracy, and
fairness, are fundamental to good
journalism.
| believe that a journalist should
write what he holds in his heart
to be true.
believe that suppression Of the
news, for any consideration other
than the welfare Of society, is in
defensible.
| believe that no one should
write as a journalist what he would
not say as gentleman; that brib-
cry by ones own pocketbook is as
much to be avoided as bribery by
the pocketbook Of another; that
individual responsibility may not
be escaped by pleading another's
instructions or another's dividends.
l believe that advertising, news
and editorial columns should alike
serve the best interests of readers:
that a single standard of helpful
truth and cleanness should prevail
for all; that the supreme test of
good journalism is the measure of
its public service.
I believe that the journalism
which succeeds best-and best de-
serves success-fe fears God and hon
ors man; is stoutly independent,
unmoved by pride of opinion or
greed of power, constructive, Toll
Grant but never careless, self con-
trolled, patient, always respectful
of its readers but always unafraid,
is quickly indignant at injustice; is
unswayed by the appeal of privi-
lege or the clamor of the mob;
| seeks to give every man a chance,
and, as far as law and honest wage
and recognition Of human brother
hood can make it so, an equal
chance; is profoundly patriotic
while sincerely promoting interna-
tional good will and cementing
world-comradeship; is q journalism
of humanity, of and for today's
world.

The 26-sharp-edged tools we call
our alphabet can do what other
tools do; build or destroy. Let me
build. Let me know clearly what
must be destroyed, what darkness,
what bigotry, what evil, what
curse, what ignorance.
Never let me slip into waiting
down, in fatuous fear that readers
otherwise will not understand. Let
me write from the shoulder, and
with the assumption that those who
read know more than I.
Such news as comes my way, let
it quickly and accurately and simp-
ly, with an eye to my response
bilities. For news is precious. Few
could live without it. When it is
stopped or thwarted or twisted
something goes out Of the hearts
of men. Confront a starving man
with the choice Of a succulent ham,
burger or the promise to reveal
instantly news of great import
ance, and he will take first the
news.
Let me champion just causes.
avoid expediency, never lose the
stimulation engendered by printers
ink. Let me remember to be kind
to copy boys, for I'll meet them
on the way back down, when they
are editors. Protect the innocent
from me when my aim is fuzzy.
Make me use my legs and eyes,
the better to track down and see
the truth. Deafen me to the Lore
lei song Of rootless heresay, rumor
and idle gossip. When the custo-
mers write in to accuse me Of
being a bum, let me consider care
fully the possibility that l am
and try to do better. Let me work
harder, try harder and remember
with proper humility, that history
produced q few ADLER reporters
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
for instance.
But above all, Dear God, let me
write with the fairness that Christ
would have used if He, who STOOD
for everything that has made thi.
nation great, had ever found i
necessary to sit down to . type
writer and beat out . story. Amen
AND FINALLY: You may MOI
always agree with what your editor
writes !. but remember it may
just be that he's sitting on higher
stool and might be able to SCI
further. Yes, Sir, this is Negr'
Newspaper Week.
Look ut some Of the progress Ne
groes have made in achieving
goals Of human decency and tn
chances are that many Of then
came about as . result Of crusade
conducted in your Negro news
papers. Negro newspapers educat
for freedom. As . force they hav
