July IS—Faced with an unusual number of lynching? ! n th last few weeks, the citizens of! the South are urged to exercise their utmost influence to avert further: crimes of this charact r, in a state-, ’■'ent today given to the public by D'. Will W. Alexander, executive! d rector of th Commission on Inter-1 racial Coop ration. Dr. Alexander points out that sheriffs and other 1'dace officers can prevent such oc currents if they will and urges the f ublic to hold th m strictly7 respon sible in all such cases. His state ment follows: “An epidemic of five lynchings in j he last five weeks — in Louisiana. Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas—: points the need of redoubled vigil ant-1 to avert further c im-es of this: nature. Southern sh riffs and other j peace officers can prevent such oc currences if they' will. Many faithful officers are demonstrating that fact, j In nearly every lynching there is j either official indifference, sym pathy or actual connivance. South ed. governors, although in some cases without special authority, can' do much through the influence of their office to strenghten the hands of local officials in putting down mob rule. “The increasing majority of citi zens who are sensitive to the evils of this situation should bring their in fluence to bear upon their officers and hold them strictly responsible for the protection of society against such outrages.” * If You Want Auto Parts, Wo Have Them also' Wanted 1,000 Cars, Old, Wrecked or Burnt PARTS FOR ALL CARS FOR SALE Geber Auto Parts Co.

The N gro race alone is taken out of the human family and set aside. “That is why there must be one organization dedicated to the fight against s gregation and disfran chisement with all of its time and energies. Meanwhile, it is true that other o <ganizations must do their best they are doing, to im prove conditions inside the segre gation which will last in some de gree, for many generations. But it is fair to say, that out of thou sands of organizations, working ojSo^t oqy jo uopjtpuoo aqi) jjqpaq o') in one way or the other, thee should be at least on. which seeks the ultimate goal of unqualified equality” “That does not mean that such organizations need be hostile to the work or to the more temporary objectives of the other organiza tions. There is an immeasurable imortance that these organizations should contiune to find and use a 4 modus viv.ndi, a living, working program for the day, for the week, for the gene 'ation. That is the business of Howard university, of Tuskegee Institute, of the color d Masons, of the Colored Women’s dubs, of the Negro Baptist Chure^* of the Negro Hotel, of the Negro card pax-ty, of the Negro family— all tmi greater is the need that ome oiganization, like the NAACP should seek the great end that lies b yond the temporary comprimises with life and prejudices. “The Spingajn Medal has been one of the \greatest levers l|>r raising and keeping up the Amer ican Negro’s self-respect, and in keeping down the complex of in feriority. In America, where ev erything good is labeled white, and only inferior things and pri vileges are labeled colored or Ne gro, it is as natural fo? white people to develop an abnormal superiority complex, as it is for Black people to develop an ab normal inferiority complex. The ordinary indivdual in both races will get these complimentary at titudes in exaggerated proportions. In fact, when you see an Ameri can black man who has no infer iority complex, it is because he has extra b'ains and can think logically- And when you see an American white man who has no superiority complex, it is also be cause he has extra brains and can think logically. After telling a few amusing stories of how powerful animals can be controlled by instilling into them an “inferiority complex”; how the elephant can be tied by a small chain, and a horse led by a halter, Mr. Pickens concluded: “The only way to make a man inferior is to make the man him self, in his own psychology, ac cept the idea,— to make him be liqye that he is inferior. Because others believe a man inferior does not make it a fact; when the man believes himself inferior, he cer tainly is inferior. To tie a man, you must lay your chains around his mind- Against any social handicap or physical terror, there is always a fighting chance so lonjf as the mind is fre’-” WASHINGTON SCHOOL NAMED AFTER N.
