THIS WEEK
IN RELIGION & THOUGHT
by ROBERT L. MOODY
“American Jim Crow Cars
For German Jews”
A recent editorial from the New
York Sun quotes a German news
paper, Das Schwarze Karps”,
In the world’s freest country
where the president storms against
the devilish invention of race
conscious, it is not permitted for
a Negro citizen equally to sit
or to have a berth next to a white
person in a train, even if the
white person may be only a tvewer
cleaner and the Negro a World
Boxing Champion or otherwise a
national hero.
This democratic example shows
Germany also how to solve the
problem of traveling foreign Jews,
hi the world’s freest country
(USA) members of a despised race
are seated with their racial com
rades and not whites even if they
flaunt a British passport or a
(French citizenship certificate.”
How the Germans humiliate us
in their pretended imitation of
us. We find no pleasure in their
sarcastic remarks about oiur be
loved country, but we must bow
shamefully before the truth,
though it was not spoken in love.

White Tenants
Block Jim-Crow
Eviction .
New York, July 13 (ONA)—
New York’s tenant organizations
this week were celebrating a par
lial victory against landlord dis
crimination following a court de
cision granting a Negro family the
maximum six months stay of evic
tion.
The landlord, the estate of
Max Eisman, 271 Madison Ave.,
sought to evict the Rev. Alger
L. Adams and his wife, Jesse
Wells, a social worker from 71
Lexington Ave., because of their
race.
In a ruling following a legal
battlo royal, Municipal Court
Justice Charles «L Garrison grant
ed the couple the maximum time
extension allowed in disposses pro
ceedings to find another apart
ment.
At the outset of the hearing,
Justice Garrison attempted to min
imize the jim-crow aspect of the
case, asserting that the case was
"just another ordinary landlord
tenant case.”
Sharp exception this analysis
was taken by Oscar Albert, execu
tive secretary of. the City Wide
Tenants Council and Barney Ros
enstein, Council lawyer. Albert
termed the law on which the case
was based, which permits a land
lord to evict a tenant without
cause as a “hold over from feud

was clearly one involving jim-crow
discrimination.
The Adamses moved two years
ago into the building at 71 Lex
ington Ave., which is also occu
pied by nine other families, all
white. The new tenants got along
nicely wi.i'a _ the white tenants.
However, the landlords, in May
1038, suddenly sought to evict the
couple without warning or explan

to protest the discriminatory act
and signed a petition of protest,
causing the landlords to withdraw
the dispenses.
Two weeks ago, the Adams

WAGE HOUR LAW AIDS
NEGROES, SAYS OFFICIAL
Richmond, Va. July 13—Because
the Fair Labor Standards “seeks
to protect all workers, of every
racial group, from exploitation,”
it gives to the Negro worker a
protection that will allow him to
mako his fullest contribution to
American life on a material basis
that is built up bhrough sound ec
onomy.
This was the sentiment expresed
by S. H. Dykstra, representative
of the Wage and Hour division of
the U.S. Department of Labor, in
an address before the thirtieth an
nual conference of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People here, June 28.
Speaking before that session of
the conference having te do with e
conomic problems of the South, Mr.
Dykstra said: “It has been the lot
of the Negro in the United States
to be a marginal worker. That fast
more than any other, has condition
ed the development of the race, eco
nomically and culturally. Were it
not true there would be little need
for the National Association for
tho Advancement of Colored Peo
ple.”
Tracing this development from
tho slavery period in America, and
showing how racial animosities
have come to have a place in
American life mainly through this
falso economic position to which
the Negro worker has been rele
gated, the labor official made it
clear that the “Fair Labor Stan
dards Act is concerned with the
Negro only as a wage worker.
“The Act has and will continue
to have a tremendous effect on
the economic status of the Ne
gro worker,’ he said, “because this
worker has changed from agrilcul
lural to industrial employment to
a high degree during the liast
twenty years.”
Emphasizing the significance of
a race’s full cultural development
being built upon economic securi
ty, Mr. Dykstra concluded.
‘ Every time the Negro’s status
has improved economically, he has
increased his cultural contributions
to American life become a better
citizen and a better neighbor.”

dressing the 3,500 graduates of the

of the Interior Harold L. Ickes
this week (urged them to keep in

Disorderly at Allen
Uni. Trustee Meet
CHURCH OFFICIAL
CONDEMNS FACULTY
AND STUDENTS FOR
THEIR ATTITUDES
Columbia, S. C. July 13 (ANP)
—'Dr. L, H. Hemmingway, secre
tary of Church Extension of the
AME church with his office in
Washington, D. C. was “hooded
and prevented from speaking be
fore the Allen university trustees
by a howling mob-spirited group
of lay trustees, and his speech
frustrated in the meeting of the
.‘board of trustees last Wednesday
in Columbia.
Hemmingway praised the ef
forts of South Carolina who had
just placed on the table $20,000
for education the May Day En
dowment collections from the field,
referred to the recent strike pull
ed at Alien and said that “it is
a sorry group of professors and
instructors in any college who
will allow the students to have a
strike and not stop it.’’ This creat
ed a stir that virtually broke up
the trusteeg meeting.
The lay-delegateis to the next
General Conference claim that
they will organize their forces
against the re-election of Dr.
Hemmingway to his present place
as Church Extension head
were held at the Court of Peace
at the New York World’s Fair.
“We are a land of many cultures
and many races and everyone, the
Scandinavian and the Italian, the
German and the Jew, the Briton
and the Slav, the Negro and the
Indian has contributed his full
share of mind and muscle to the
upbuilding of our American civi
lization,” the hard-hitting New
Dealer told the graduates “We
must take pride in everything
worth while that our various eth
nic groups have given us and we
mast never—if we are to remain
free, peaceful and united—permit
the spread of posionous and idiotic
notions of ‘superior’ and ‘inferior’
Americans. We are all Americans,
members of the same common
wealth fellow workers in the same
society.”
More than 50,000 persons at
tended the dramatic and beautiful
services which marked the gradua
tion of the 3,500 Americans, most
of them foreign-born of the Adult
Education Classes in English and
Citizenship
Ickes in his address referred to
the vital connections between de
mocracy and education
“Democracy means the polit
ical freedom of the person; edu
cation implies intellectual free
dom, freedom from prejudice, from
bad_ taste, from self-deception. To
be ignorant and at the same time
free is a contradiction in terms.
Deception has always battoned up
on darknes.”
A similar note was struck by
Governor Lehman and Mayor La
Guardia, who also addressed the
graduates. Governor Lehman point
ed out:
“Our nation is composed of peo
ple of different stocks and many
love of liberty.”
