PAGE TWO GOLF COURSE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) j dale. Federal Judge C. C. Wyche, as signed here temporarily from Spartanburg. S. C., heard the case without a jury. The suit was filed 10 months ago after the city re fused a request from Negro leaders to open the course to Negro players at least one or two days a week, a practice followed In several other Flor ida communities. The Fort Lauderdale City Com mission claimed such action w ould drive away white customers | and the course would lose money. The City Commission has indi cated it may sell thfc course to private interests if Negroes win the right to play on the links. ODDS & ENDS* (CONTIMKO FROM FA OF II I rot, the Negro race when shortly after noon last Monday, the chair- ! man of the presidential inaugural commitee stepped to the micro phone and announced to the wait ing world that, "Miss Marion An derson will now sing our National Anthem.'' he was not just merely announcing another number on the inaugural program He was. in effect, presnting visi ble evidence of the capability and achievement of the Negro race and horning the Negro race for its ca- ! pabiliti-'.s and achievements. Those familiar with the life history of K-si Anderson. know that she well typifies the struggles, hopes and j ambit' ns of mi-lions of her group j and they accept her success as a | symbol, of the achievement possi hie. for'those willing to make sacri- ; fices to- obtain it. On Monday evening, a pack ed audience at the second ses sion of the annual Institute of j Pelf e-ion heard another out standing Negro. Dr. James li. Robinson, relate in dramatic fashion how and why this na tion is fast losing “the strug gle for mens minds”. The many hundreds of Negro men and women who helped so make up that capacity and! -nr-o roust have been bolls thrilled and gratified, that here, a m'-mbcr of iheir group, a world figure, was standing on the p e!ferns of the United Church, off-sing unrefutable evidence cf the intellectual equality of the Negro. When we are able (o v. itness such positive evi dences of our real status as we were fortunate to observe last Monday, otsr hearts should overflow with gratitude to our merciful Father who has made it possible. A SECOND TOOK. A!! Ameri cans should take a second look at the president's reattest to permit him to use this country’s armed forces in the Middle Fast, should he think such a step necessary. There were many dissenters, but the majority of the people in this i country as very pleased v.-hen ibis country not only roundly de nounced the invasion of Egypt by : England and France, but demand- - cd and got the withdrawal of those i Invasion forces. Doubtless those na- ! tion.e frit they were protecting 1 their rights and interests when t they sent, their armies and war vessels into a free nation In addition, both France and England have stated that they had “reliable” proof that if t,iey had not intervened. Rus sia would surely have done so. However, b fore the Court of World Opinion as represented by the United Nations, those Iwo powers w ere proven to have acted wholly without jus ’ v ' ' t I | to settle an international con roverss hy the might of their armed forces. In as much as the defense of eminent communist intervention did not win justification for France and England to send their armed ■ forces into the territory of a free nation, at first glance, it is rather difficult to understand how such ; action on the part of this country I «ould be justified. Maybe a sound! and searching second look at the j president's proposal will reveal a, reason that Dus country can sup por< Until that reason has been! made Hear, i! would seem that (his nation's armed forces have no business being used to invade the territories of any nation including the nations of the Middle East. HOW COME? "Whenever we »ee Deputy Sheriff Will Malia by of Guilford County In town, ttie question Invariably eomr* in mind, why is it that we do not have a Negro deputy sher iff in our county? Just as oft»n as the qiststion arises, the an *wer presents itself that we can have one if we want one badly enough to work toward getting one. Many cities in this state had Negro police officers • n their forces before they were employed here in Raleigh. When Negro sentiment for Ne gro policemen crystalled hcjre to the point it could not be Ignored, Negroes were put on the police force. Having Negro law enforcement officers is not *lmply a matter of right and racial desire. It has been am ply demonstrated that where* Her Negro officers arc employ ed there is an appreciable low wing of the crime rate. We ne«d and should have Negro deputies in Wake County, sheriff department. The wav so get them there is to want • hem to the rtxrnt we will do something about the matter. WrmRLIZATION One of , he ’ Tst rational statements in refill,a- 1 bon of the white Southerners silly pretension of his fear of racial mongrebzation in the event school' (u egation should be abolished, is contained in a recent, report of the American Psychological Ar-oscin- ! bon. ihis report which reduces all! ,hr arguments of the pro-sejire- > rationis.fs to mere meaningless' " Ords, concludes that continued i ‘rcial segregation is ‘.lie grf.itest ; I possible contributor to mongreliza- I I tion. This report states a fact known by all. particularly the Negro and white residents of the South, that sexual exploit ation of Negro women by white men has been going on In this country ever since the institu tion of slavery resulting in the rain bow of colors now present ed by the so-called Negro race The report further points to the fact that white men using their i position of social, legal and eco- | nomir superiority have freely tak- j en sexual advantage of Negro wo- i men, an advantage thnt would be 1 : impossible or at least unlikely if Negroes and whites enjoyed the same economic, legal and social - status. Apparently what all of this means is that the very system the | white man says he must use in j order lo perserve the integrity of ! | his race has, and is. resulting in ! the mongrelization of his race on j | a scale that must eventually elimi- ! ! nate one of the races. When you j j take time to look segregation in ! any form, squarely in the face, all j | that appears is evil and the re- i suits of evil The one nice thing about evil is ' that eventually it become so bur densome, expensive arid destruc- • t:ve that it actually destroys itself. ' Slavery in this country would have ; been abolished had one shot never been fired. The same is true of segregation, its own evil weight ; will one day drag it down.

Another child, who had been left, by her parents in Wake Coun-j ty, was burned to death Saturday.! Pour others were injured. The Clifton kids had been left alone in the bouse while (tie parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. 15. Clifton, went, away from the house. When the mother returned, she found the house enveloped in slumps. She began screaming and her: cries attracted the attention of | her landlord, Amos Dean, who called the Fire Department. The; woman had to be restrained from rushing into the house. A faulty oil stove connection Isi believed to have been responsible 1 ' for the fire. Wake Officials Protest Wake County'Coroner Mar shall W.

Joe and Lor,line Speed, had gone to a nearby I store jus: before the fire broke out. While they were at the store, an j unilentified white man rushed in | and told them their house was on i fire. They rushed back to the j house and arrived just as one end jof the building collapsed. Britton said he had been unable to obtain the names of the four victims. The cause of the fire was not i immediately determined, j REV. ROBINSON (CONTINUED FROM T AGE I ) '■ Master and founder and present i head of the Morningside Com ' munily Center; both located in ! the Harlem district of New York City Dr. Robinson was speaking j to an over-flow audience at the ’, second session of the Institute of Religion at the United Church - here in Raleigh. The subject of Dr. Robinson’s : address was, “The Struggle for i Men's Minds.’’ He brought with him the expo*, fences and contacts i he had gained through extensive | travel and study In the so-called undeveloped areas of the world, j Dr. Robinson made it very clear that the future of the world do j pends largely upon who wins the | gigantic struggle now being wag ed for control of the peoples in Afrie.a and Southeast Asia. He I pointed out that of the two forces i now contending for this control, ! the Communists showed more pro | mise of winning because of the | concerted, studied and direct nat | ure of their approach. “We waste millions of dollars 'on the Voice of America each Come To anTl see the most outstanding jrroup of . . . COCKTAIL : DRESSES and EVENING DRESSES i WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, JANUARY lb. iv.>, year, talking to people who have I no means of hearing us," declared i the speaker. "This same money could be effectively used in train- j j ing young people in this country i to go into these areas to work with these people and help them develop and use their own resour ces.” Dr. Robinson pointed out j how the Russians are now busy j in Africa, recruiting youth to be! sent to Moscow for training and ' Communist indoctrination "These ; i young people,” continued Dr. Rob inson. "are then sent back to their home land to tram others and | thus the spread of Communistic ; doctrine goes on and on ” The speaker then pointed out. ' how this technique of the Corn j munist could be successfully com- ; j batted if the people in this coun- I try could only realize and use the i great pon-eryti-vl offered us through | the use of jar Negro youth in this' j colossal battle. "Sending a group | iof trained, dedicated and conse- j | crated young Negroes to work 1 : with the dark peoples of the world ! would do more good than all the radio programs, preaching mis- j j sionaries and useless propoganda | ever sent out,” declared Dr. Rob | in.son. "We are nearing the turning! ' Point, in this struggle,” said Dr. j Robin: m, "the big job is just a-! { head. Who will win depends up i on whether or not we can realize • j our short comings, remedy our j past failures and devise means of successfully meeting the challenge ! the ComunLsts have and are mak- 1 mg,' Dr. Robinson said that we j have something these people need i to know more about. We have » : !v.ay of life that transcends unr , thing the Communists can offer, j He pointed out that the differ- i once between the aims of the two : contend:: . - forces is that- we can I help these p, opte to mold their i lives and shape their destinies in ! 1 the image ug God. free and ir depenrient. "On the other band : continued the speaker, "Common- 1 | ism imposes the worst of all siav-i ' ers. It is an ideology seeking to j remake men after its own ugly i image.” Our job, ’ .said Dr. Robin- ' - son is to unmask this evil image, j strip off its disguise and point it • out as what it really is.” During the question and answ- ! er period that followed, Dr. Rob inson’s address the speaker said j ! that during hs travels and lect- j l ures abroad he always took re-j I fuge behind the truth' when he! , was questioned about this coun-’ | try'a democratic short comings • ■! “There is no need in trying to lu ! to those people because they al ready know us much about what j ! goes on over here as you do.” “Tell them the truth, admit ! | the short comings,” advised the ’ speaker, "but always point out tjtie j positive things for good that are ] daily taking place in this country i and then they will respect you 1 ; and listen to you.” In addition to pasturing one of -; New York’s largest churches. Dr ! j Robinson is the author of several books, a noted lecturer and race relations consultant. The Com , munlt-y Center he heads embraces .! a cooperative grocery store, a day ! nursery, home for working girls j ; and maintains a young people’s I summer camp in Vermont. All of, ! these activities are interracial. WHITE GIRL (CONTINUED FROM RAGE I) The woman, who was alleged to have been 18-years-old, bui records have shown that she is 25, is reported to he the mo ther of three children. The officer is said to have been terribly "torn up over the whole - situation. The fact that, it was bo , lieved. through information said; to have been furnished by the girl,' that she had no control over her sex life.
