Virginia Teachers Urged 10 Help

groes of the Byrd machine" in
the state of Virginia in 1864.
Voting is our chief weapon
to all our rights. and in order
to vote, we must register" said
DR.. Tinsley L. Spraggins, a pro-
fessor of history at Virginia
Union University. Active in
voter registration for the Ma
tional Democratic Committee,
DR.. Spraggins was one of four
Eanelists who appeared in a
symposium before more than
100 VITA committee members
attending a conference on con-
temporary problems here at
Slaughter's Hotel.
Others on the panel were:
DR.. William H. Martin, dean of
faculty at Hampton Institute;
Alfred X. Talbot, Jr., president
of the 8,500-member VITA; and
DR.. Rupert Picott, the or
ganization' executive secre-
tary.
Registration is our biggest
problem" DR.. Spraggins said.
"In the state of Virginia, there
are over 451, 900 Negroes of
voting age; and of this number,
only 10000 are registered to
vote. The problem for you, as
teachers and as members of the
VITA, is to help close this gap
by teaching your students the
voting registration regulations"
The Virginia Union Univer-
sity professor also noted that
fifteen states have already rati-
fled the proposed oath constitu-
tional amendment which pro-
hibits the poll tax in national
election. Talbot, who was cleo
ted to head the VITA for the
next two years last November,
urged the VITA teachers to give
greater consideration to travel,
both abroad and in the United
States. UNLESS we come into

cession for u.s." And in Heb.
7:25 we read that He is able
to save us unto the uttermost"
because "He ever lives to make
intercession for u.s."
Our failures now, after hav-
ing trusted Christ as Savior,
may-and should trouble our
conscience and thus hinder our
fellowship with God, but this
does not change the fact that
we are Gods dear children
through faith in Christ, who
died for all our sins and, un-
worthy though we still may be,
God would have us come into
His presence and be spiritually
renewed. Our Lords interces-
sion for us in time of failure
means most of all. AS a boy
the writer often sang an old
church hymn, part of which
went thus:
Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received at Calvary.
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly plead for me.
Forgive him, oh, forgive, they
cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner
die.
"What shall we then say to
these things? If God be for us
who can be against u.s." (Rom.
8:3D.

Two Minutes With
The Bible

We have shown in a previous
article that God is for sinners
and desires their good. We have
shown how He proved this by
paying for their sins Himself
as God the Son at Calvary. But
if this is so, how much more
must it be so with regard to His
own children who have trusted
Christ as their Savior?
How often-and how signif
icantly-the Apostle Paul uses
the words "For Us" in this con-
nection!
In Eph. So we read that
Christ loved us, and hath
given Himself for u.s." In Rom.
5:8 we are told that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died
for u.s." In II Cor. 5:21: "God
hath made Him to be sin for
u.s." And in Gal. 3:13 we read
Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made
a curse for u.s."
And the love that brought
Him down from heaven to die
in shame and disgrace for our
sins is not affected by our many
failures as Christians now.
in Heb. 9:24 we read that our
Lord has ascended to heaven
"now to appear in the presence
of God for u.s." In Rom. 1884
we learn that He is "at the right
hand of God" to make inter-

DR.. Picott cautioned the VITA
group to be aware of the alarm

year among the schools in the
Commonwealth. He also cited
the VTA's urging the establish
ment of a Vocationl education
program which would help to

Rocket Capable
OfMiIIion Pounds
Of Thrust Is Fired

COYOTE, Calf. July 20
(AP). "A solid propellant
rocket motor with O million
pound kick was test fired today
for the first time.
Anchored in a huge concrete
bay. the rocket spouted red
flame into the sky with an
earth-shaking roar. The rocket
performed perfectly.
The Air Force said the solid
propellant motor, first stage of
the Titan TIC space booster
is the worlds largest. Two will
be used on the Titan TIC to
produce more than 2 million
pounds Of lift-off thrust.
Maj. Gen. Ben I. Funk, COM
mander Of the Air Forces space
systems division. called the test
"the first major milestone In
the development Of our first
true military space launch sys-
tenn"
The Air Force described the
75-foot tall motor as about the
same size as the Atlas booster
that put astronaut Gordon
Cooper into orbit last May. But
the 250-ton rockets thrust Ia
about az times that Of the

Mr.. Parker is not along term

He said he telephoned the
offices Of Secretary Mcnamara
and Brooks Hays. special as
sistant to the President. He
said 1t was apparent that nei-
ther office previously was
aware Of the situation at the
hospital.

nor OF the Soldiers Home. said
he would change the hospitals
policy only II the men want 1t"
Gen. Haislep added that the
Soldiers Home is an 'inde-
pendent establishment Of the
Government, not a military
establishment, and therefore
does not come under the De-
Tense Department ruling"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-07-21

DR.. Offutt told q reporter
yesterday that he would not
transfer Mr.. Parker from Ward
6 unless his medical condition
required that he be moved to
a specialized ward.
I'VE don't assign q man ac-
cording to what he asks for"
DR.. Offutt said. But he said
that Ward 8 was set up for
Negroes at their request.
Mr.. Parker said Sister Emily,
one Of the Roman Catholic
Sisters of Charity who was q
nurse there, told him when he
complained about Ward g: IF
you don't like 1t, why don't you
leave?"
Sister Emily said yesterday
that when Mr.. Parker was ad-
mitted Friday he complained
about Ward 8 and became ex-
cited when she said she did not
have the authority to place him
In another ward.
Sister Emily said that "sev-
eral times we have tried TO de-
segregate but the Negroes re-
fused TO stay In the areas they
were assigned to-" Thus, she
indicated, q kind Of voluntary
situation has remained.
