great proclamation, not only for
Americans of all races, but for
the history of human freedom
throughout the world.
Here in our nations capital
few weeks pass when we are not
hosts to leaders of the emerg-
ing nations of this day-nations
whose history at mid-20th CEN
tury is not unlike our own his
tory at mid-19th century. Dedi-
cation of the Frederick Douglas
home as a national shrine would
bring to the symbolic center
of our nation this chapter of our
American past whose signifi-
canoe has reached far beyond
the dreams of even the Fred
erick Douglasses.
Last September the Advisory
Board on National Parks, His
toric Sites, Buildings and Monu-
ments recommended to the Sec
retary Of the Interior that the
Frederick Douglass home be-
come a unit of the National
Capital Parks System. / believe
the amendments suggested in
the report of the Department of
the Interior or S. 1899 are salts
factory. Certainly the costs of
repairing and refurnishing the
home will be minimal as will
be the cost of maintaing it, and
l am confident that it will be-
come one of the highlights for
many visitors to our nations
capital.
Expressions of support for S.
2399 have come in from groups
throughout the country. l have
selected a few letters typical
Of those / have received and
ask that they be included as
part Of my testimony. In ad-
dition, l ask to have printed
with my testimony a biography
of Frederick Douglass prepared
by the Library of Congress.
No statement of support for
this project would be complete
without reference to the in
defaitgable leadership which DR..
Rosa L. Gragg, President of the
National Association of Color
ed Women's Clubs, has given
to this project. We are proud
that DR.. Gragg, as well as being
a citizen of the United States,
is also a citizen of Michigan.
Without her devotion and that
of thousands Of individuals with
whom she has worked, their
dimes and dollars and hours of
labor, we would not be in a posi-
ton today to consider our pub
lie obligation to preserve for
future generations the home Of
this great American.
1t was the foresight Of the
National Association of Color
ed Women's Clubs which has
preserved this home in its love-
ly setting. It was the leader
ship Of DR.. Gragg and the pre-
sent membership Of the Assoc
citation which brings us to our
meeting today. l am proud to
havo introduced this proposal
together with the Honorable
Charles c. Diggs, Jr., sponsor
Of the companion measure in the

Good samples can mean
more to you as a cotton far
mer. That six ounce sample
sent to the Chasing Office will
determine the grade and staple
of your bale.
Because cotton samples and
sampling are important, the
Greenwood Cotton CHASING
Office would like to mention
some of the precautions taken
to protect your samples.
Your sampling agent is
bonded to insure the faithful
performance of his duties.
Here briefly are some things
required of your bonded samp-
Ter.
That he draw a representa-
tive sample from your bale
consisting of a 3 to 4 ounce
portion taken from each side
of the bale.
That he Identifies your
sample with a properly COM
pleted "green card.'
That no other person hand

NEW YORK DOCK WORKER
CHARGES UNION BIAS

New York CAMP - For the
first time in its seventeen-year
history, the State Commission
Against Discrimination last week
began a formal hearing into
charges of racial discrimination
against a local of the International
Longshoremen's Association and
the New York Shipping Associa-
ton.
The charges were brought by
Fred Randolph, 80 years old in a
$500 word recital of alledged in
stances of unfair treatment be-
cause he is a Negro.
Previously issues brought by Ne
.groes against the dock-workers UNI
ion had been resolved through med
itation, eliminating the need for
appearances before the commits
sioners.
Randolph, who has raised sim
liar issues fourteen times during
the last seven years, testified that
late in 1860 he was unable to OBJ
tain employment as driver on the
Grace Lines Pier at Fifteenth
Street on the North River because
of his race. He said he was entitled
to such employment because of his
seniority status as a member Of
Local 791, the Liza. local in the
Chelsea section.

Four Year Old Lad
Has UnuSuuI Memory
For EoctuoI Informufion

chicago lamp - WHAT'S the
capital of the Sudan?
What's the capital of any coun-
try anywhere in the world - and
so US. states tossed in for good
measure?
What is the smallest province in
Canada and what are its chief pro-
ducts?
You don't know?
Well, you've flunked a test a
four-year-old boy - who neither
reads nor writes - passed, magma
cum laude, just for mental gym
nastics.
The infantile genius is Kiowa
Costonie, Jr., who lives with his
parents and two sisters here in
Chicago.
The lad, who rips and romps like
all other four-year-olds, can not
only race through the worlds cap
itals, but he can also make a
teacher blush with shame.
His father, the Rev. Kiowa Cos
TOME, Sr., pastor of Faith Temple
church, said that he and his wife,
Edith began to help Kiowa along
when they noted his unusual reten-
tive powers.
The lad, who probably will de-
velop a Photographic memory when
he begins to read and write, learns
rapidly through word association.
His dad and mother turn his tai
ent into a game. For example, he
learned to identify Indianapolis by
associating Indians with apples.
The child also listens to his sis
tiers - Tina, 7, and Toni, 9 -
study their lessons and they also
help him develop his mind.
All of the family, the Rev. Cos
TOME says has considerably better
than average intelligence.
Born in Louisville, KY little
Kiowa, whom the family calls
Scoop" has been in Chicago for
three years now.
His father attended public
schools in Ogden, Utah and Color
ado Springs, Colo. He also attend
ed Howard university in Washing
ton, for a time.
Young Kiowa says he wants to
be either a scientist or an engineer
when he grows up.
He'll probably be both.

White Churches In
Oklahoma City In
Other On Membership

attitudes regarding Indignation are
changing shape here was evidenced |
last week in two separate attempts
by Negroes to join all-white
churches.
While the three were denied ad-
mission to the churches, the vote
involving one of the candidates
narrowly missed approval by the
congregation and found some men,
bers outspoken in their favor of
Indignation.
In a close vote of 81 for" to
327 against, members of the
First Baptist church refused to
admit Glendale Brown, Is, on the
grounds his motives for joining
the church were not sincere.
The Lincoln Terrace Christian
church board gave a similar reason
for denying admission to Mr.. and
Mrs. Cecil Williams.
1t was at First Baptist where
indications pointed to the more
favorable trend toward indignation.
When young Brown first sought |
admission to the church in Deem
Der, a majority of the congregation |
voted to accept him. However,
there were several no" votes. Ac-
cording to the church bylaws, any
applicant receiving even one no
vote must be referred to the. church
committee on fellowship for study. !!
DR.. Herschel H. Hobbs, First
Baptist pastor, opened the meet
ing. In his statement, the first he
has made publicly, DR.. Hobbs said
the Bible doesn't teach racial seq
regation or desegregation.
THE Bible orders neither" he
told the unusually large Wednes-
day night crowd.
Dr. Hobbs, who is also president
of the Southern Baptist conven-
ton, said, neither segregation nor
desegregation were a problem at
the time Jesus Christ was on earth.
The acknowledgement minister
emphasized Baptist churches are
charged with the responsibility of
determining their own membership
in a democratic manner.
"The worst thing that could hap
pen is not whether we accept or
reject the applicant" DR.. Hobbs
told the membership. THE worst
thing would be if we do not face
the problem honestly and sincerely
as Christians"
I'VE are under the spotlight of
the nation-of the world" he con-
tinued.
1T is important what we do, but
it is of greater Importance how we
do it," DR.. Hobbs charged.
The report of the deacons to the
church reflected deep study into
the motivations of the boy con-
corning his reasons for wanting to
join the church.
One Baptist member said, while
speaking in favor of the youth, he
was concerned less with the appli-
cant's motives and more with those /
of the church membership.
II believe the best solution is to
accept this young lad" he said.
The speaker said acceptance
would prove as a false contention
the charge the church would not
accept one of another race.
DR.. Hobbs said of the close vote,
II feel this indicates how the men,
bership has searched its heart in
this matter"
He also noted the adult manner
in which the church discussed the
youths application. The vote was
taken by secret ballot.
DR.. Hobbs said even though the
boys membership was not accepted
he could attend church activities.
The youth, as well as any other
person of the Negro race, would be
welcomed at church services and
SUNDAY School. DIR. Hobbs said.

thouShL you might get IduBn
out of it, too.
I watched the reaction of a group
as they heard the speaker tell
about the age groups. One, a teen
ager was the first to speak. She
said, well, what about the teen
ayers, don't they have any any
more ?" The ten year old turned
up his nose and said, IF I am an
infant, what is my baby brother ?"
The woman who figured at age
SO she was just beginning to live
wanted the world to know SHE
was not in her middle age years,
vet! She said she could swim,
dance, play tennis and do every
thing she did when she was young
err and that didn't apply to her!"
Her husband joined in and he, too,
was very indignant to think they
were classed as middle aged! His
uncle turned to him and said,
well, I am 70 and you are half
my age so you must be middle
aged because they don't class me
as anything but in my dotage and
1, too, get around about as well
as you two"
One 70 year old asked, Just
who thinks I am in my dotage? 1
drive to work every morning, rain,
hail or sunshine and I do an honest
days work and so 1 don't consider
myself in my dotage, yet"
Before the friends went too far
one of the group asked, where
is your sense of humor? 1 think
it is really nice to know you are
in the age group you are in and
still able to live and feel so young.
The years you have lived are not
what they are speaking about, 1t is
the idea of a young man who says
he thinks girls and boys from one
to IL act like infants, in most
cases. From IL to 81 most of us
act like we are quite young if we
have good health. From 81 to 81
most of us start for the Doctors
office and one may ask, why, ]
never had any aches or pains be-
fore and you are really angry
when the Doctor tells you you have
lived a long time and you are go
ing to have MORE aches and pains
if you live any longer"
From 81 to 70 the old aches
and pains really take hold anc
one day you are astonished to look
in your medicine cabinet and fine
so many bottles of medicine thai
YOU are or have been taking.
Time has a way Of creeping W
on us and you have not noticed the
years because, with the Doctor!
help and Gods goodness, you arr
still able to grunt or groan abou
a pain here and there, but you
keep going as long as you can. You
can always look around and SCI
someone really older than your
self who is getting along fine ant
looking fine. It is up to you. B,
your age but you don't have to b
any older than you feel! So, smil
often and forget the aches an
pains as much as possible and, yo
will realize what wonderful worl
you live in. Don't hurry your
self away from it by finding faul
