Rev. Alexander P. Shaw, Methodist Bishop of Baltimore as he addressed members and friends of Newman church Sunday night. Speaking of “Some Men Who Walked Away From God,” the former editor of the Southwestern Advocate averred “Despite all science, there is still a need of religion today.” “Sometimes we seem to think it’s God’s business to please us. We should please him.” Decry- i ing the idea that our country should “get tough” he pointed out that toughness was not a quality of leadership or power. All Negro congregations co operated in the union service. In addition to music by combined choirs, special numbers were rendered by the Quinn Chape} choir, Mrs. Fred Bradley and the Hub of Harmony quartet. The singing featured ,a number of spirituals. Bishop Shaw is in Lincoln for the Methodist Advance mass meeting to be held at St. Paul church Monday and Tuesday. Also here for the meeting are several other bishops, including Bishop Dawson of this area. On Tuesday he addressed a group of leading laymen at a noon luncheon. Advance for Christ and being held* in 78 cities this year Dixie-BoundT rains End Segregation NEW YORK. (ANP). Negro passengers may now travel from New York to points south of Washington without being shunt ed into Jim Crow coaches before crossing the "MaSon-Dixon line. ^ The Pennsylvanian railroad last week announced segregation of Negroes in coaches, Pullmans or diners, is abolished, effective im mediately. The railroad’s statement, re leased jointly with the New York State Corhmission Against Dis crimination, said, “The Pennsyl vania Railroad has agreed to make seats available in any part of these trains to all passengers as they apply.” Former segregation of Negroes in New York was “to save Ne gro passengers possible embar rassment and inconvenience in the South.” railroad officials ex plained. The road, they said, was merely acting as agents of other railroads running south of Wash ington. Although not officially an nounced, it was understood that southern roads have agreed to co operate with the Pennsylvania system by not compelling Negroes to change seats or cars unwill ingly. In some quarters it was feared that the railroads would run into trouble at some stops in the South where local inspectors have the powrer to board trains and arrest Negroes for violation of local seg regation laws. The action of the Pennsylvania railroad was taken as a result of charges of discrimination filed with SCAD last Aoril Said Ar thur W. Wallander. director of the Mayor’s Committee on Unity: “I am happy over the final determi nation of this matter, as there is no olace in oui country for un just discriminatory practices. This is a fine example of co-op eration between a local and state agency working to elim inate discrimination.” ---~ j PARRISH MOTOR CO.
