SHOULD PASTOR’S WIVES
VISIT ALONE?
(FROM A PAPER BY MRS.
CLARA WILLIAMS)
If family duties permimt her to
do, the wife ay wish to accompany
her husband on his calls. It may
be unwise for her to visit with him
on all of his calls.
The thoughtful wife will not
want the members denied because
of her presence, the privilege of
opning their hearts to their spirit
ual adviser. There are times and
circumstances, however, when a
Minister will desire his wife to be
with him when he calls. Such oc
casions are those of calling upon a
woman who is confined to her bed
by illness, especially in her home
where there is no attending nurse.
Or upon some women of doughtful
character, or one who is apt to ex
aggerate or miscontrue the Minis
ter’s personal interest in her.
A minister’s wife usually has her
own calling list. Her visits should
bring cheer to the shut-ins, or the
I young mother who has just come
| home from the hospital with her
new first born. They may be nei
ghborly visits, when she just drops
in, Bhe can also be helpful to her
husband by frequent use of the
telephone, as in the case of continu
ed illness, or by giving a friendly
ring to find out why some faithful
worshiper was absent. A demo
cratic Church appreciates the Min
ister’s wife who is democratic in
her calling, including alike both
rich and poor, learned and unlearn
ed, the faithful and the indifferent.
Her record will help her husband
also to show intelligent, and sym
pathetic interest, but whatever is
shared with her and her husband in
confidence, tey will of course, seal
witin their hearts. It is helpful to
any Minister if his wife too is ac
qquqaiqnted with the membership
of the Church, for she will ofttim
es see folks from a different angle
from er husband, and thus be able
to give a woman’s viewpoint.

the stratification of Negro workers
in the viscious vice of industrial
jim-crowism and that Negroes
should oppose it both because it is
undemocratic and one of the corn
erstones of the master race theory.
“Negro Problem Cannot
Be Cured by Pretending
It is Not There” Says
William B. Ziff in Book
In an eloquent plea for the in
telligent organization of a new
world social, economic and polit
ical structure now—before it is too
late-—William B. Ziff declares in
his new best seller, “The Gentle
men Talk of Peace,” that the ques
tion of race is one of the outstand
ing obstacles to world peace.
“There is every indication,” he
says, "that the Negro problem will
take a virulent form and that it
will culminate in street warfare,
and riots, especially in our North
ern cities.”
The problem of the Negro, he
says, “cannot be cured by pretend-1
ing that it is not there, or that it
has disappeared like some bad
Red Cross Employs 200
Negroes in 4 Overseas
War Theaters
St. Louis—The American Red
Cross has 204 Negroes on its over
seas staff serving Negro troops in
four theatres of war, midwetern
area headquarters revealed recent
ly.
Negro Red Cross personnel in
cludes 30 field directors and assist
ant field directors, four field dir
ectors devoted only to the recre
ational program; 11 recreation
workers for able-bodied service
men, one hospital recreation work
er, one hospital service worker, 19
club directors, 17 assistant club
directors, 10 program directors, 18
assistant program directors, seven1
personal service directors, S3 staff
assistants, two accountants and
two secretaries.
These workers include former
lawyers, teachers, insurance sales
men, public welfare workers, of
fice workers and recreation super
visors. Before taking up their
posts with military units, they
were trained at Red Cross national
headquarters in Washington.
It is their tremendous responsi
bility to act as ambassadors of
good will from home. They ac
company the troops wherever they
go, maintaining emergency com
munications service between them
and their families. They provide
comfort articles, cigarettes and
candy. They furnish recreation for
those in the hospitals, and they
operate leave area clubs for the off'
duty recreational needs of the able j
bodied. They comprise a war es- '
sential recognized and appreciated
the world over by enlisted men and
officers alike.
Negro overseas workers agree
that their job of morale-building
has become increasingly important
with more Negroes being taken in
to the armed services.
“The morale-building problem
with Negro troops is even more
serious than with white troops be
cause the Negro soldiers have been
transplanted into a completely new
environment,” one Negro personal
service director stated on her re
turn from overseas. “In addition
to being far from home, they are
doubly handicapped because of the
small Negro population in the areas
where they are stationed.”
dream in the warm sunlight of the
Four Freedoms. The pretense that
the Atlantic Charter or the Four
Freedoms applies also to Negroes
is a gigantic swindle, not only a
gainst the Negro himself but a
gainst the balance of mankind,
since it nuress what already is a
focal point of trouble.”
Mr. Ziff views social ostracism
as the results of habits deeply in
grained in the past which cannot
be abrogated by the use of logic,
by moral moral demands or by
some legal mechanism. ”To alter
it demands that the Negro be plac
ed in a reasonable state of balance
to the rest of mankind, in short,
that he become a power factor
some place where his race is in the
majority” and “there is no place
where this might occur except in
Africa.”
A Negro commonwealth covering
most of Africa South of the Sahara
desert is one of five natural world
political units which Mr. Ziff be
lieves must be formed before peace
can be made profitable.
"The Gentlemen Talk of Peace”,
vrhich follows William B. Ziff’s
two other works of world import
ance, "The oCming Battle of Ger
many,” a best seller in 1942 and,
"The aRpe of Palestine,” definitely
establishes him as one of the think
ers of our day. “The Coming Bat
tle of Germany,” is claimed, with
authority, to have had a direct in
fluence on the conduct of the war.
His grasp of the inconsistencies
of our present social, political, and
economic order is based on a thor
ough historical background and a
broad knowledge of national and
international affairs. In Earle’s
"Modern Strategy,” (Princeton U
niversity Press) Ziff is listed, a
long wth Seversky, ais the modern
success of Douhet and Mitchell.

work and reputation of the men

•It was stated that certain vital
records are hiddeo from Negro

of Lt. Commander Ebersole, prov

CO’S DISCREDIT SERIOUSNESS
OF SITUATION AND
NEGRO LEADERSHIP
In subsequent conferences with
Capt. Sihler, Commander J. P. Mc
Bean and Lt. Commander Ebersole,
the officers revealed general dis
belief in the seriousness of the sit
uation. Commander McBean stat
ed "he had met the situation be
fore and could meet it again.” He
indicated further that no Negro
personnel under his command was
qualified for leadership or eleva
tion, and declared that he was
forced to bring in whites in order
to have material to maintain the
battalion at a standard."
in (making ^eqonunendations
for an immediate navy probe of all
personnel conditions existing in
the 34th Construction Battalion,
and the separation meanwhile ot
both Commander McBean and Lt.
Commander C. V. White, from the
unit, Mr. Houston summarized his
findings by declaring "There is
more potential dynamite in the
34th Construction Battalion than
any similar situati)on> Composed
largely of above average men in
intelligence, these men are on the
brink of mutiny and some one ov
ert act may cause a serious blight
on our progress, in making inroads
in the Naval establishment.

talion commander are very resent
ful against outside influence' or
