PAGE EIGHT H BISHOP MEDFORD The Dixie*, rat : evolt against Ps *' ri'lcnf Truman and his Civil Right Program will soon die of ;t jvv : , weight. Wo fight .<gain:>i human right, either h.v ;m individual or an organization can long succeed. The thought that, it h a fight against right or “rights” weakens it to begin with. It needs, always to ho remembered, “Bight i right once God is Goct and right, the day inua win," Dix iecrats” or any •-•tiiers notwithstanding. All the veiling we hear for "States Bight.." is a veil to keep the states that ion tend for it, in a position t defeat any effort made by tin; Unii*"d Stot*” Government do ni. thing to protect and otherwise help the Negro and other minci itk. within such state It. is a plea foi the t -ght to do vrong: m<! to leave more tght things arid humane influences from without powerle -s to effectively do anything about it ft is therefore a fight foi states’ ‘Rights" with which to do wrong. The recc-nl Democratic Convention voted ’tin" good and strong on the “states right-, plank’ " It is said that the Republican controlled Congress controls enough votes to envoke cloture and pul a limit to filibustering mid there fore prevent legislation favorable to the Negro and othei minoritie:- being talked to death. If a Republican controlled Congress lot not, rise upt o its opportunity it will be up to the Negroes and their ft sends to leave such Senators and Congressmen at home in Novem ber election. Watch all of ’em, and vote in November. Negro Bishops and Negro preachers of ail denominations are faced with an opportunity and obligation to study men and mea sures in the coming national election and to use their influence to have Negroes register and vote, and vote for their proven friends and not for party labels All the parties except the Dixiecrats are fighting for the Negro vote Urge our people lo think well and vote where their vote will count. Federal Judge War mg, a native of Charleston, S C. is one of the great fair-minded jurists and statesmen of the nation, as is Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina. These great Southerners and such men as former Governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia deserve anything the Negro vote or Negro organizations can do to aid them in their political careers and public life and leadership. President Harry Truman has stirred the nation from center to circumference in a powerful fight for Civil Rights. In that great, effort out President lends. Other parties and party leaders have cbm bod on his "Band Wagon" in an effort to pull the Negro and other minority votes from him. The Negro votes need' to remem bei that no man in th* White House since Lincoln has' so studied, planned and fought for us. No national political party has made such a fight and adopt* i so strung ■< plank or, human rights, as did the Democratic National Convention at Philadelphia. Mr Trufnatt has stood firm through all criticism, walkouts and the Dixiecrat rump convention He is right, and he will win, 1 Right, the day must win." Common Touch Marks 3rd Party Convention By JIM FLEMING PHILADELPHIA 'ANPi If Uncle .Toe Stalin is backing tire Wallace party, then Uncle Joe is a piker, for the Wallaceites just aren’t splurging . Whereas, the GOP and Democrats furnished badges that were fashioned of bronze or bras the Wallaceites used just an inexpensive cardboard insignia, such as the meekest rural ladies auxiliary might have had. The Wallaceitts also had to depend on volunteers to do a lot of the convention chores for which the other major parties paid it is noticeable, however, that the Wallace convention was marked by a large nurrd or of "just folks” who came off the streets and esked if there wa: anything they could do. A sampling of these oif-the-strecters showed no Marxist radi cals: they wore students, young men and women who were stimu lated by the courage of Wallace to attempt a third pm tv; others who were so depressed by the lack of leadership in the old es lablishd powei? that-no and will grasp at any straw; many who were dead serious in believing that the United Sta es has to find « way to peace and to get along with the Soviets and who see Wallace ; s the chief champion of such a course.

That’s trie kind of thing that makes people like me kn >w that “there is time for a change." Allan Freelon assistant to the superintendent of fine arts, in the Philadelphia schools, was busy here and there on local ar rangements for the convention. Metz Loch a d. dapper ex-editor of the Chicago Defender, was secretary of the arrangements commit tee. of which the Rev. Quentin Jackson of Philadelphia was also a member. Mrs. Chcrlotta Bass, editor of the California Eagle, was secretary of the credentials committee.

Hill, well known 'in Detroit’s civic affairs, and Mrs. Ada B. Jackson, veteran politician and women's leader of Brooklyn. N. Y A tty. Bel ford Lawson, of Washington, national president ol the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, was a member of the party rules committee, together with Miss Goldie Watson, eloquent Philadelphia school teacher who took a leave of absence in order to spearhead the campaign of Magistrate Joseph B. Rainey for congress on the Wallace ticket. Seen on the platform were the venerable W. E B. Du BoP. author, editor, historian, and sociologist; Mrs. Estelle M. Osborne, of New York, prominent m organized nursing; Dr. L F. Palmer, professor at Hampton institute; Mrs. Paul Robeson and Magistral" Joseph Rainey, candidate for congress.

Two Wallaceites also had headquarters in the same hotel—the Bellevue - Stratford where thr other two parties housed their high command. The. had the same full, courteous police protection (the best that Philadelphia has). One could not help but think that in m my parts of the world Jte "opposition party’ could meet in such freedom and security, if it met at all. And that’s what makes America America. As the Wsllaceitb? were conceded to be the third party,” one also wondered what hid happened to the Socialists to make them lose third place and to be almost fur.gotten.

American Medical association came out this week with a start ling indictment of the AMA foi its recent refusal to remove racial bars from various member organ 0. -Finns excluding Negro physi cians. Dr. Car! Glenn is Roberts, con sidered to be one of the fair hair ed" Negro members of the asso- : elation, said: "The rejection of (he proposed amendment submitted by the New York society to the AMA house of delegates in the recent Chicago meeting represents a temporary triumph of the forces of bigotry and reaction.." In scoring the AMA for its pas sage of the racist Georgia resolti ition, he said: REACTIONARY LIGHT "It presents the AMA before a world struggle to preserve demo cracy as a reactionary organiza tion which places so-called states' rights above human rights. ‘Shall organized medicine any •where in this country use the col or of skin to exclude any doctor otherwise perfectly qualified to join its rank- and be entitled to it? ! protection and privileges? This is; ihe one issue at stake. "The AMA sit? as judge and jury in determining admissibility to hos pital staff and qualification for membership in the special societies. A3l doctors must depend upon use of hospital facilities and member ship in specialty board- to practice their profession. Primary membf r.-hip in the AME is essential as a preliminary to the other privilege How *an it permanently exclude n- from m itjbership and then penalize u.> because we arc iv-t member.- ’ "Continued refusal of equality and justice will drive us to suppott : 1 government control th-ri will provide a rrnvciy Through its re cent action the AMA has done much to hasten this dav Our efforts will be unabated until justice L done."
