Nichols complimented the ’pray er movement’ in connection with the Montgomery bus boycott and cited the unity and endurance oi a 70-year-old woman, who, when told by boycott leaders that they would excuse her for riding a bus because of her age; she replied: •No, I won’t ride. I’m walking for my grandchildren—that they may be able to ride in the future as free American The Bish op concluded that 'God gives you added strength and added power to win the war against wrong.’ THOUSANDS PRAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) lies and Jews participated. The Massachusetts Legislature suspended activity for an hour at noon as an “expression of sympa thy” (or the Montgomery bus boy cotters, and a gubernatorial pro clamation in California designated Wednesday as a day of prayer. The demonstration originally was conceived as a brief nation wide work-stoppage accompanied by prayer. However, the work stoppage idea was discarded There was no estimate of the total number taking part across the country. Here In Montgomery, Negro churches kept their doors o pen ail day so that anyone could offer prayers at his con venience, There were no special prayer meetings sche duled. Many of the Negro ministers. who were indicied by a grand jury for violating Alabama’s anti-boycott hiv were out of the city in con nection with prayer service* elsewhere.

SCHOOL BOARD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) report which made the vote 4-2, in favor of marking time. The fact that two members of the Board voted against postpone ! nient, gave some ray of hope that perhaps Raiaeigh could be the first city to actually make plans to integrate. Rev. G. A. Fisher, THE CAROLINIAN chairman of the Raleigh Citizens Association, served notice on the Board that he saw nothing that would stay a suit and that his group would be on the Board's neck until such time as it decided to show good faith Clark backed up his vote with certain observations that showed he was firm in his convictions and felt that integration was inevita ble. ODDS & ENDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) ables Negroes to be more dis criminating in their choice of places to spend their dollars and it also helps to create job oppor tunities for the job-hungry Ne gro group. There is a great need for more such educational events. * • * The proposal to create a medi cal center that will combine the proposed new county general hos pital with Rex and a new diag nostic and clinical research lab oratory would be a fine idea but for one thing. This one thing is always going to be present just as long as segregation continues ! At Regional Meet Here -iimuinmiiii muinmii rmwit 111 ium_ni Kappas Warned Against i Base ‘Brainwashing’ CHARLOTTE Negroes must overcome years of ‘'brainwashing" and feelings of in feriority and do first class work to and Negroes are considered as in , ferior beings. If this proposed idea is put into effect, Negro phy sicians and technicians will not be used, the all-white Rex Hospi tal nursing school will furnish . the nurses and Negro patients , will be isolated in a remote wing with a back entrance. AIII of this , will take place despite the fact . that Negro tax payer’s will be taxed to pay for this discrimina : tion at the same rate of white tax ayers. Under segregation, Ne • groes are compelled to oppose things that are otherwise good and beneficial. This medical cen ter idea is one of those things. There is a possibility that at long last something will be done about Negro housing in Rairigh. Dr. George Snow den, director for contact and planning for the southeast FHA region, was in Raleigh this week ani promised some immediate action toward a !• HA survey that will show the Negro housing needs here as well as the ability of local Negroes to pay for new homes. * • * Negro voters in Raleigh and elsewhere in this state would do well to heed the advice given by Mr. Henry Moon, Public Rela tions director for the NAACP at a registration and voting clinic sponsored by the N. C. Conference of the NAACP in’ Raleigh a few days ago. Mr. Moon advised Ne groes to vote to turn the incum bent out in every instance where it could be reasonably affirmed that the new candidates were less vicious in their racial and eco nomic views than the incum-1 bents. Despite all the affirmations to the contrary, race will be the pre dominate issue in the political campaign this year for all of fices, from governor down to dog catcher. Inasmuch as without his consent, the Negro is going to j occupy such an outstanding po- j sition in this campaign, he should! take full advantage of the spot- j light of publicity that is being! focused upon him and vote to j turn his detractors and enemies j !out of office on every level. He; can do this if he will only avail j himself of the opportunity to j VOTE. He cannot do it by stay-j ing at home and crying about how he is mistreated. * * * Maybe people on relief should not be allowed to enjoy the many benefits of television as the State D par orient of Welfare has or dained but we feel this ruling should be very elastic and that each case should stand upon its 1 own particular merits. It should be remembered that there are many persons drawing relief checks because circumstances ov er which . they had no control drove them to this extremity. Many of these persons, now aged and infirm, have made valuable contributions to their communi ties and to society during their more prosperous and productive years. To say that such persons should not be allowed the not too expen sive benefits including TV, that j today’s genius has produced and; to which they may have in part! contributed to, is, to say the least, making charitableness of char ity. The State Department’s rul ing even prohibits relief recip ients from receiving TV sets from their children and relatives on I the indefensible grounds that if; those relatives are able to give a ! TV they are able to care for their! kin who are on relief. The ab-1 surdity of this view is best illus- : trated by comparing the price of | a TV set with the care of one person for just six months. * * * Everyone, and that includes« white Southerners, knows the! truthlessness of the South’s con-! tcntion that Negroes in the South j have just as many and even more j opporunities for advancements as they do in tire other regions of j this country. Yes, everyone knows this, but because this falsity is being given such a build up now, we take the opportunity now and then to point out some glaring ex amples of that falsehood. This week, the Theological Alumni of Shaw University had as its honored speaker, the Rev. Dr. Marshal L.. Shepard. Dr. Shep ard is a native of North Carolina who found it necessary for him to leave his state and the South hr order that he might have the opportunity to realize his poten tial abilities. He found his op portunity in Philadelphia, Pa. and was chosen wice by that city as one of its representatives in j ihe Pa. General Assembly. Later | I he was appointed by President j | Roosevelt to be the Recorder of! | Deeds for the District of Coium i bia. Dr. Shepard resigned the ! Washington job in order to re i turn to his adopted city of Phila- I delphia where he served as City Treasurer until last year when he was successful in his election bid for a sea. on the Philiy City Council. All of this time. Dr. Shepard continued his pastorate of one of Philadelphia’s largest churches, Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Where is the segregationist who will say that Dr. Shepard could have real ized his ambition to serve human ity in so many useful ways by remaining in his native North Car olina.

They don’t want freedom. It is up to Kappas to help save our people from this disease Negroes must know that to rebel against dis crimination means liberty. To submit means slavery.
