CORRECT APPAREL FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Sorority To Establish
I Lobby In Interest Of
Underprivileged Race
Washington, April 9 (AND—A
congressional lobby to be known a?
Iho Non-Partisan Lobby for Ec
' onomic and Democratic Eights has
1 been set up in Washington as thf
aftermath of a recent Founders
Day meeting of the graduate and
undergraduate chapters of the
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
The decision to establish such an
agency resulted from a message
delivered by Miss Norma Boyd, one
of tho incorporators of the soror
ity. in which she stressed the need
for legislation to help correct some
of the social ills which beset us as
n race, especially, those, at the
lower economic levels. Mi3s Boyd
reminded her sorors of their res
ponsibility to thotse of our group
who are beleaguered by problems
of unemployment and by all of the
ills of social disintegration which
follow in its wake; poor housing,
malnutrition, high mortality ra*e,
deliquincy and finally crime. These
things we must correct. We can
help by creating interest in these
problems and stimulating action by
thoso who are in a position) to help
in the amelioration of these social
ills.
William P. Robinson, of the De
partment of Politicel Science o
Howard university, was selected to
direct the activities of the Lobby.
The overwhelming reception of the
idea resulted in the formation of
the Legislative committee, consist
ing of Miss Norma Boyd, chairman’
Mrs. Thelma Bryarut, Dr. Dorothy
B. Frerebee, Mrs. Ethel Grubbs
Miss Marjorie Hollman, Miss Lean
na Johnson, Mas. Marie Long,
Mrs. Gladys Peterson, Miss Ruth
Travis and Miss Caroline Welch.
Tho AKA Sorority has over a
period of years sponsored some so
cially valuable projects. It’s more
recent program was the initiation
of a health project under the lead
ership of Mis.s Ida Jackson, which
consisted of the administration of
medical aid, immunization and so
cial hygiene to underprivileged Ne
groes in the Mississippi Black Belt.
The Legislative committee issu
ed the !floJlowi*7j [statement ex
plaining the e^alblishment of the
Lobby:
Baha’i Faith
“God’s purpose in sending His
Fbophets unto men is twofold!
The first 'e to liberate the children
of men fnom that darkness of ig
norance, and guide them to the
light of true understanding .The
second is to insure the peace and
tranquillity of mankind, and pro
vide all the means by which they
an he established.” Baha'u’llah
teaches all great religions are
parts of one Divine Plan for the
edueution and salvation of man
kind. So blind hath become the
ht man heart that neither the dis
i uption of the city, nor of the
mountain in dust, nor even the
leaving of the earth, can, shake
rff its terors. The allusions made
in the Scriptures have b?en unfold
lcl, and the signs recorded therein
vo been revealed, and the pro
phetic cry is continually being
.'i ed. And yet all, except such as
God was pleased to gu’clo, are be
wildered in the drunk*eness of the r
hced’essness!
The gift of God to this enlightened
age is the knowledge of the one
ness of mankind, and the funda
mental o’"ness of Religion, Bc
h are, Q believers in the Unity of
God, lest ye be tempted to make
; ny destinction between any of the
man'festations of His Cause, or
to discriminate against the signs
that have accompanied and pro
claimed their Revelation. This in
deed is the moaning of Div'ne Un
ity, if ye be of them that appre
hend and believe thfs Timth.

•‘The need for the establish
ment of an agency devoting
its entire energies to a con
stant and continuous scrutiny,
analysis, and interpretation
of the legislative process and
the acts of Congress as they
affect the Negro and all under
privileged groups hag become
increasingly evident. Intelli
gent action depends upon a
clear uderstanding of the na
ture of the conditions or pro
blems to be actcil upon. The
function of this agency, there
fore, will keep these two aims
as its paramount objectives,
This lobby will nort duplicate
any of the tasks already being
performed by such organiza
tions as the National Negro
Congress, NAACP, and other
kindred organizations, but will
augment and extend their work
through the performance of
this specialized task and by
interested and constructive co
operation.”
Commenting upon the political
complexion of the new agency, the
chairman said:
“We eschew all alignment
with any particular political
party; rather we shall carry
out our program strictly on
tho basis of concrete issues.
We believe that we can render
an invaluable service to our
neople and to all underprivi
leged groups in America.”
Tho Non-Partisan Lobby for Ec
onomic and Democratic Rights is
being sponsored by the XI Omega
chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority, with offices in the South

Squire Neal Draws 2
Years In Federal Pen
Minneapolis, April 9 (ANP)—
Following his conviction last Sat
urday on two counts charging him
with concealing $5,903 of he funds
admittedly embezzled by his bro
ther frcim the Soo Line Railroad,
W. Squire Neal, widely known
mortician of ithe Twin Cities was
sentenced to two years in Federal
prison Tuesday by Judge Gunnar
H. Norbye. • »
Squire’s brother, John Neal, for
mer confidential messenger for the
Soo Line, had confessed taking
$118,000 of the road’s money over
a seven-year period, was givem a
sentence of 15 years in Federal
prison. The case had attracted
wide attention because of the pro
minence cf the brothers ir./ the so
cial and business life of the Twin
Cities and because of John’s uni
oue method of systematically filch
ing fun Is from the lailroad.
Tho $5,903 of the company’s
money was c ncealed by Squire
Neal, was found at his home in a
golf bag. At his trial, under cross
examination, John Neal said he
spent $50 to $100 a day on cigars,
clothing, gifts and donations. He
said he gave freely to the church
and the Home for the Aged, but
did it t gamble or frequent night
clubs and taverns.
The testimony also revealed that
Brother Johrn, from 1936 to 1937
put nearly $13,000 into the under
taking business he operated jointly
with Squire, that in that time the
mortuary had paid back $3,000 of
•he amount.

This Week In
Thought and Religion
By Robert L. Moody
Negro Health Week
It is very encouraging to know
that we, as a group, have advanced
in knowledge and care with regard
to helth, as well as we have made
progress in other things.
At one time, we were supposed
to have been undesirable because
of lack of sanitation, but now we
have and know, doctors, nurses,
and methods that govern the spread
anti cure of diseaase, as well as
those of any other group.
Insurance compands refused us
the same hates ini protection as they
offered to others, this is supposed
to be based upon our morality or
tieath rate, which is reported to be
higher. Of course, in many in
stances, social and economic cir
cumstances cause our people to
live in inferior buildings, eat an
improper diet, and wear thin clo
thing.
Yet we are able to gnve more at
tention to our bodies. “What know
ye ruot that your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost. Ye are not your
own.” “If any man defile the tem
plo of God, him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy,
which temple ye are.” I Cor. 3:16,
17 and I Cor. 6:19. 20.
We are not able to live a well
rounded mora, spirtual or inteJ
ectual life if our physical life (the
body) is wrecked.
Nothing should be eaten or
drunk or used in the body that
stupifies or or muses abnormal
conditior.u. T hough tobacco and
liquor are popular and legalized
items, they are harmful to the
body, directly of indirectly.
Let us not fail to give 'our bodies
the proper rust, exercise, toilet
and food, that God may have a
healthy (if not handsome) temple
in which to dwell.
