Your pocket-book matched the
bigness of your heart — a bigness
that will be of inestimable value
to the poor, the sick, and the
cripple.
Giving to the Community Chest
is like going to church. You don’t j
stop going to church just because
you do a good deed for someone
—you continue to go. In giving to1
the Community Chest you build
a storehouse of freedom. You tear,
loose the barriers of the sick, the1
blind, the cripple. You Make Men
Free To Really Live Again.
To be born again is for us, the
living, as it is for the dead.
THANKS FOR THE BREAK!

\ Sub-Committee
Approves Tobias
Despite Pegler's Smear Campaign
Dear Editor
It is altogether fitting that ex
pression of gratitude be given
THE VOICE for the fine and un
selfish service it has, and is ren
dering to the people of Lincoln
nd other parts of the country. J
Such a venture takes courage
and stamina of the finest sort to,
remain in print and in high
spirits with so many barriers to
overcome.
When I look at The Voice with
its paucity of ads, I wonder,
many times, about the fair play,
1 sportsmanship, and down right
democratic intentions of our bus
I inesses and industries that with
holds ads solely because this is a
Negro publication.
1 Honor is overdue you for this
1 noble 'venture. It is over due be
cause too little thought has been
' given to the thrills and good feel
ing of Negroes who see theii
0 names and pictures in print foi
■ I something good that they dt
(rather than for only the bad.
j Honor'is over due because of the
! public relation value that ]ets
other people know that the Negro
is a social being and like wed
dings, parties, conferences and
! clubs as everyone else.
If I were to give an oscar to
-day for the most outstanding,
j work in the field of human re-1;
lations, I’d give it to you.
May The Voice continue to '
grow and hold fast to the ideals;1
that guided its conception —.<
honesty, fairplay, sportsmanship >
and fine news reporting.
Sincerely,

Wash. Uni. Students
Want Negroes Admitted
To Undergraduate Schools
ST. LOUIS—(ANP)—Washing
ton university’s policy of only ad-!
mitting Negroes to the graduate!
school is not shared by many of;
the students, according to a recent
i page one editorial in Student Life,
campus newspaper.
Student Life said last week the j
majority of students have ex-!
pressed their opinion as “Open all;
departments to qualified Ne-1
groes.”
“Among the new students on
campus are young persons from
countries whose populations are
non-white. What kind of im
pression will our Negro admission
policy make on them?”
The newspaper said the univer
sity’s year after year statement on
the subject is “We’re working on
it.”
WASHINGTON—(ANP) — Dr.
Channing T. Tobias, director of
the Phelps-Stokes Fund, last
week was one of nine persons ap
proved by a Senate Foreign Rela
tions subcommittee as delegates to
the United Nations General As
sembly. Dr. Tobias was approved
as an alternate delegate.
Phillip C. Jessup, U.S.A. am
bassador at large, who has been
the object of much criticism from
senators, was rejected.
The controversy centering on
him had held up confirmation of
,the other nine nominees.
The subcommittee voed 3-2 in
rejecting Jessup and 3-0 in ap
jprving Dr. Tobias and the other
j eight nominees.
j Dr. Tobias was approved with
out any trouble despite attempts
by Westbrook Pegler and others
to smear him as being a com
' munist.
He had testified that he had no
communist sympathies, and added
that communism always had been
repugnent to him.
\ Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
reaffirmed as delegate.
’/_ The report of the subcommittee
in approving Dr. Tobias and the
other eight persons now will go
to the full committee for its ap
proval.
If the full committee gives the
nominations report its immediate
attention they could get to the
senate floor before congress ad
journs. However, time is fast
■unning out, as prospects for a
Saturday adjournment increased,
rhen, too, Sen. Tom Connally
D. Texas) has dodged questions
>n whether or not the full com
nittee will meet again this year.
Meanwhile, if there is no senate
ction before congress adjourns,
’resident Truman probably will
ive recess appointments to the
ame 10.
The attempts of Pegler to label
Tobias a “red” had led many
people to believe that he would
never be confirmed. However,
Pegler’s smear campaign proved
to be ineffective, as tfi? subcom
mittee unanimously approved
him.
Pegler had used his syndicated
column to attack Dr. Tobias and
accuse him of being a member of
several communist front organiza
tions.
Walter White, executive secre
itary of the NAACP, had come to
the defense of Tobias and branded
^ Pegler’s attacks as slander.
