ALONG THE INTERRACIAL
FRONT
By George Edniuml Haynes
Executive Secretary The
Department of Race Rela
tions The Federal Council
of Churches
The recent renouncing of seg
regation by religious bodies car
ries with it a challenge to Negro
Churches, Christian Association
branches and wherever Negro peo
ri pie are organized. Opening ranks
without segregation applies to
Negro ranks as well as white.
The excuse given by Negro peo
ple that they would rather be to
themselves in their own organiza
tions doe3 not hold any longer, in
view of progressive steps toward
integregation being taken by the
white bodies. Recently, the Uni
ted Council of Church Women
nominated and the Golden Rule
Foundation elected a Negro woman
Mrs. Emma C. Clement as 1946
American Mother. In what way
will Negro organizations view this
in their own extension of honors
to women on their records, w'hite
or Negro
Negro churches as well as the
white now face the necessity oi
changing their policies and pract
ices of segregation in membership
and in fellowship as well as in the
service they render through their
schools, colleges, hospitals, and
publishing houses. Negro branch
Y‘s now have the chance for a
major move against Jim Crow by
opening their doors and ranks to
whites. The national organization
of which they are a part have offi
cially renounced segregation.
The pronouncements of such
bodies, of course, are not action
even if all the members of these
organizations verbally accept them
but they do have value. They in
spire, teach & illuminate the goals
rof the future. Only, however, when
they are inpleented and result in
changed conduct and behavior pat
terns do they have real effect on
the people an upon Jim Crow The
action must be fostered by all the
hurches and all the Christian As
sociations, Negro as well as white,
if integration is to replace segre
gation.
Many Negro delegates shared in
the debate and voting at the re
cent Atlantic City onventions of
the YM and YWCA. They have
Negroes, on their -staffs and nat
ional governing boards. The four
largest Negro denominations have
been official members of the Fe
deral Council of Churches since
its founding. They elect their re
presentatives to the Federal Coun
cil and its executive committee.
They had able representatives at
the Columbus, Ohio, meeting in
March who were vocal members
in all the sections of the gather
ing, especially the section on Com
:munity. Tensions that framed and
presented to the general body the
statement renouncing segregation.
A noted Negro churchman, Dr.
Benjamin Mays, is vice-president
of the Council.
Despite all this, some Negro
leaders say: “If. we take the in
itiative and urge white people to
ocome into our organization, they
will say we are trying to butt in
on them". What if they do? What
is the meaning of the Gospel call?
Why should not Negro Chirstians
take the initiative in calling white
Christians to membership and fel
lowship as well as the reverse?
It is a two-way street.
It is the business of Negro chur
ches and allied agencies as well
as the responsibility of the white
organizations to transform the
community into an integrated so
ciety patterned on justice and on
goodwill. There are instances on
record where a white congrega
tion has made an urgent overture
to receive Negro churchmen of
their denomination into full fell
owship only to be told that they
preferred to have a separate set
up. Japanese-American leaders
are also finding that many of their
| number returning to the Western
United States are attempting to
establish separate religious organ
izations even where local churches
offer them membership. Like Ne
groes, they are influenced by the
old inner fears and inhibitions.
There is a long, hard grind ahead
for Negro churches as well as for
the whites. In many of our large
cities now there are regularly or
ganized interracial fellowship set
ups. Many members of the minor
ity racial groups look upon them
with some question. One can im
agine what would happen if these
white fellow-worshippers should
be heartily sought for membership
and fellowship by some of the Ne
gro churches. It would not only
bring many white churchmen to
our church but would break some
of the other barriers to democr
acy and brotherhood in this land.

U. S. Supreme Court strikes Blow At Segregation
Charles F. Davis
Re-elected Elks
Exalted Ruler
Exalted Ruler—Charles F.
Davis
By Ellswo-th G. Devereaux
, OMAHA; Nebr., June 10, 1946
At the regular election under the
direction of our Grand Traveling
Deputy, Bro. James A. Richard
son, Iroquois Lodge No. 92 elected
the following officers:
Atty. Charles F. Davis, Exalted
Ruler: Curtis Jones, Loyal Knight
{ succeeding Bro. Ernest Williams;
Ernest Williams, Lecturing Kni
ght, succeeding Bro. J. T. Scott;
Carl Bone. Leading Knight; H. J.
Johnson. Tyler; Robert Johnson
Inner Guard, succeeding Bro Gar
dner Macklin; Nathan Miller, Es
quire.
Officers now holding offices con
sisting of one year or more are
as follows:
Secy Dr. Price Terrill; Treas.
C. B. Mayo; Trustees—Cleo Mor
timer, Clifton McKinney, Father
Sanchez.
Attorney Charles F. Davis was
elected to the office of Exalted
Ruler by a overwhelming major
ity. A most remarkable record
for Iroquois Lodge No. 92 is of
fered by the (10) ten years that
Bro. Davis has been at the head
of the body governing our Lodge.
Consistent support of Bro. Davis
by this order shows the confidence
we have in his ability to keep Iro
quois No. 92 a successful and pro
sperous Lodge in the Mid-West- j
em section of the country.
The Elks Band under the dir
ection of Mr. Joe Riggers held a
, most successful Concert at the
Elks Hall in Omaha on the 24th
day of May The performance was i
remarkable due to the fact that
j this unit of our order has only
been organized for thirteen weeks
i and consists of boys from the age
1 of twelve to eighteen years. Iro
qouis No. 92 wishes to express its
I hearty congratulations to Bro.
j Joe Riggers for the work that he
has done with some of our boys
in so short a time.

campaigns after Chest board ap
proval.
Of the other replies. 3 were un
signed, 7 had both plans checked
and 5 were returned unanswered.
Action by the board is not ex
pected until some time after July
1, the deadline set for receiving
replies from the agencies. Boards
of the agencies are still giving
study to the proposal since re
ceipt of the questionaire and a
letter of explanation by Mr. Ja
cobs.
The proposal would place upon
the Chest alone the obligation of
^locating funds for capital needs.
Most businesses make provision
j for replacing outworn equipment
but the Chest has no provision
for depreciation or capital ;m
trovement needs of its agencies
| i»lr. Jacobs said.
The Chest president said it is
! significant that an unusually high
percentage of the cross section of
donors polled have replied.
It is encouraging that these
were interested enough to read
the material submited and felt
sufficiently concerned to want to
express an opinion he said. It in
dicates their confidence in the
i Chest board and a willingness to
i assist the board's members in par
forming the obligations of trust
ees of community funds.
Many of the questionaires re
turned were accompanied by per
sonal letters. These, Mr Jacobs
said, revealed considerable thou
| ght and advance new points in fa
vor of the combined program and
t equally pertinent questions.
] If the Community Chest agen
cies themselves respond in the
same manner as have the donors,
the Chest can proceed with con
I fidence that the entire communi
ty is hopeful for their success, Mr
Jacobs said.
Mr. Jacobs has invited all Chest
contributors to express their op
inion of the plan by writing the
board at 736 World Herald Bldg.

At last the weather is decent
enough for some of our outdoor
enJ°ymcnt. A picnic in the park,
fishing for the fish that refuse to
bite at Carter Lake, a round of
golf at the many courses, a drive
in the country, and a pleasant
afternoon stroll with the family.
Nature has preoared the way, and
before the summer months pass
all of us should spend a part
of our time outdoors.
It took a lot of talk to get any
information from Miss Francis
Bell, 2534 Hamilton Street, every
time I saw this young lady, I kept
asking, and finally she decided
that she might as well give in.
From other sources I found out
this energetic young lady worked
at the Martin Bomber Plant for
three years, and after all this she
decided to return to school, and
is now a sophomore at Omaha U.
Most of us. once we have had a
self supporting job, never return
to school again, but this was not
for his talented miss.
“Why did you decide to contin
ue your schooling?” I asked.
“What I want to do cannot be
done withous furthering my edu
caion. It is what I always wanted
to do and working at the plant
made it possible”, she answered.
“What course are you taking
at the Omaha U?” I asked.
“I am taking Psychology and
Socialogy”, she answered.
“My, oh my, what big words.
I'll have to get a dictionary to
find out what those words mean.
Let’s talk about something else if
you don’t mind”, I said.
"What do you enjoy doing, be
sides going to school’ I asked.
“Most of all I love to sew, and
I like to sing. I enjoy acting, and
have been in the cast of several
amatuer plays. I would certainly
like to swim but so far I can only
swim about six feet, and then un
der the water I go” She answered.
“I feel sure you won’t have
much trouble finding a young man
who will teach you to swim” said
I.
Miss Bell smiled for the first
time and I could tedd that she
already had that young man who
was going to teach her to swim.
The AMVETs of World War II
now have one of the finest floor
shows that we have seen in years.
The ever clowning “RABBIT"
who headlines the show, has dan
ced and clowned his way into
many an Omahan’s heart. The
added attraction of the blues sin
ger keeps the young ladies clap
ping their hands and many lett
ing out one of those Sinatra sighs.
All of this is very good, but for
the men, a real treat is in store
for you.
There are four dancing girls,
who not only dance their heart
out. but give everything they have
got, and believe me, that is plenty.
I may have been born in Iowa in
a little peaceful town, but another
night or two at the AMVETs,
where there are more of these
dancing girls, I am going. To
dance like those girls do, and to
look like those girls look, brother
is one for the books. They have
what it takes to get along in the
entertainment world, or maybe I
should say, to get along in any
kind of world.
Assistant director of the Divi
sion of Venereal Disease Control
Education for the Nebraska
State Dept, of Health, is quite a
title for anyone to have added to
his name. Mr. Ryland E. Melford
2613 Binney, is the young man
who has that title added to his
name, and I know that with that
title goes a lot of work.
“How long have you been in
this position and this work"? I
asked.
"Three years now" he answered.
“I think you are the man to
answer a question that has been
in my mind for quite some time.
Is it true that our race has a high
percentage of venereal disease?"
I asked.
“It has been assumed that we
do have, and it may be true in
some states, but it is not because
of the race, but the conditions
that they live in, work in, or play
in. The way to better health, is
through better living conditions,
better working conditions, and
you know as well as I, that in
many places in our country we
do not have access to these bet
ter conditions", he answered.
Do the ones who contact the
disease, I mean, at least most of
them come in for treatment” ? I
asked.
“Yes they do, the people are
very cooperative,” answered Mr.
Milford.

State Segregation Statute
(Cannot Be Applied to A
Passenger Moving in
Interstate Commerce
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Na
tional Association for the Advan
cement of Colored People was to
' day noified that the Supreme
Court, with only one Justice dis
senting, had ruled in the case of
Irene Morgan vs. Virginia that
the state statute requiring the
segregation of races could not be
applied to a passenger moving i*
interstate commerce.
This case arose when Mrs. Mor
gan, an interstate passenger o*
a bus moving between Virginia
and Maryland, was convicted un
der the Virginia statute for viola
ting the segregation law. Her con
viction was appealed through the
state courts to the United Stale*
Supreme Court. On March 27 the
case was argued by NAACP att
orneys Gov. William Hastie and
Thurgood, Snecial Counsel. The
following statement concerning
the case was issued today from
Columbia, Tennessee, by Thurgood
Marshall:
“The opinion of the United State
Supreme Court in Irene Morga*
vs. Virginia, declaring that state
statutes requiring the segregation,
of races can’t be applied to inter
state passengers, is one of the
most momentous decisions in the
historv of the country. It is a de
cisive blow to the evil of segrega
tion and all that it stands for.
“We earnestly ho^e that the
states will abide by the decisio*
with good fa;th. Now is the time
to push for the end of all form*
of segregation throughout the
country”.
