WASHINGTON (ANP> - One of
the most progressive steps made to
ward ejvii and human rights irt
the District of Columbia during
1958 was the creation of a Human
Relations council, declared Eugene
Davidson, president, local NAACP
branch.
In hi? annua! report, pre
sented to <*. membership meet
ing last week, Davidson referr
ed to this council as "the great
est hope and greatest threat to
democratic progress. ft is a
hope, he said, 'if properly ad
ministered and if it chooses to
tackle and solve, with dclibe- i
rare speed, the difficult prob ,
Icins arising in the field of hu
man relations. And it "ill he
a threat to democratic advance
ment if H becomes a study
group or a buffer to protect the •
Commissioners, or an agency }
of delay."

JESUS. THE SPEAKER
Do not think for a moment that
the great influence of the Wan
from Galilpe was due to people's
belief that He was the Son of God.
His own disciples were not exactly
sure on this point; for if they had
been, they would not have desert
ed Him at the cross
Jesus attracted crowds because
He was good at applied psychology
and knew how to control an audi
ence with perfect assurance. And
what is more, He did not address
the listeners in a weak, timid
voice! How do we know? Eecattse
He spoke to outdoor audiences that
numbered 3,000 individuals Re
member, too. He had no modern
loud-speaker system for amplyfy
ing His voice. His powerful voire
must have been far superior to
(hat of the great William Jennings
Bryan.

ItISHOP AT BENNETT Bishop Ed ;<r A. I.ovr, head of the
Baltimore Area of the Method!4 Church, shown delivering principal
address at (he convocation on Christian Higher Education held at
Bennett College lasi week the Bishop and his wife had just returned
front a three-month tour of Europe and Africa,
[ago the District Commissioner.’!
issued an order declaring that the
policy of the district government
was against discrimination in em
ployment.
But. it. was not until this year
that the commissioners, upon -re
commendation of several organi
zations, including trie Urban Lea
gue and NAACP, created a human
relations council to implement this
policy.
Another progressive step In
Washington was the decision made
by the American Bar Association to
change its constitution to permit
Negro membership.
The police department, since
the dramatic expose staged in
1957 by the 1). 0., NAACP
branch, has made long strides
in its attitude toward Negro
personnel. In spite of the still
• existing unfair system of rat
j ins for promotion, the depart
ment has for tbc first iitne in
history promoted a Negro to
i iaik of an early return engagement 1
