Believers in it must do much more than just believe in it if it is to survive, and if the “American Way of Life” is to be maintained. The phrase “America, the Arsen al of Democracy” is not an empty oir idle one, but is pointed, pertin ent and pregnant, indeed. THE ATOMIC AGE More than most of us can con ceive, unless we have given much thought to it, the invention of atom ic power has revolutionized human society, for better or worse. Scientists have prophesied that other nations, even without some of the recently reported “leaks” of , information, will have made their own secrets of atomic energy with in 5 or 8 or certainly 10 years. Conceivably a future “war" could begin and end within one or two days! Wiping out national capit als, industrial centers and whole cities within hours could do it. Now no nation is safe or secure, with awful destructive power at its finger tips. ROTHERHOOD NEEDED The immediate demand for friend liness and brotherhood must be realized and proclaimed from the housetops—and LIVED Common sense tells us that if two men facing each other, both armed to the teeth, do not agree a micably to discard their weapons they must chance the effect.

This Institute is a joint endeavor by a great many of Omaha’s or ganizations, and is being endorsed by educators, clergymen, civic and social workers WELCOME TO ALL! Police White Washed In Ohio Posse Probe Cincinnati, Ohio, March 5th —A casual remark by a police officer in Cincinnati, O., was responsible for assembling a posse of 75 to 100 men in that town to hunt down a suspect in an attempted rape case, City Manager Wilbur R. Kellogg said, but his report on the incident to the city council completely ex onerated the city administration. The report, requested by the Cin cinnati branch NAACP, said a Madisonville home had been bur glarized and a 45 year old wife criminally attacked. Shortly after ward, another home in the neigh borhood was robbed by a Negro answering to the same description. A group of armed men, numbering 75 to 100, gathered at the scene, to join the manhunt. But other factors were unearth ed by investigation made by Ern est J- Waits of the Committee on Democratic Action, Harold J. Pier son of the West End Civic League Arnold B. Walker of the Division of Negro Welfare and Harold D. Snell of the Cincinnati branch NA ACP. This group interviewed the manager of radio station WCPO over which a call for armed vol unteers was broadcast. The man ager said the call had gone out ov er WCPO in response to a request from Lt. Conner of the Sixth Dis trict. The group talked to City Manag er Kellogg who gave them the po lice version of the affair. The po lice say that a radio newscaster asked Lt. Conner whether help was needed and Lt. Conner said it was. Mr. Kellogg refused to issue a public statement to the effect that the police had not requested a civ ilian help and would not tolerate it in the future. He said such a state ment would most likely result in a riot against Negroes. The City Council, which request ed the City Manager to report on the situation after receiving a let ter from the Cincinnati branch of the NAACP, had no comment to make on the report. ■ • I CLEO’s Nite & Day BAR-BQ 2042 North 21st St. ALL KINDS OF DELICIOUS SANDWICHES ‘OPEN 24 HOURS A DAT” Deliveries Made—Small Fee Charge for the sam^.

School For Blind To Train Woodard New York, aMrch 6th—Isaac Woodard, blinded Negro veteran, whose assailant. Police Chief Lyn wood Shull of Batesburg, S. C., was acquitted by an all white jury in twenty-eight minutes recently, left New York City last week for the Avon School for the Blind where it is hoped, he will be suffic iently rehabilitated to enable him to adjust to a normal life. Wood ard was accompanied by Franklin H. Williams of the NAACP legal staff. At the Avon School for the Blind, in New Haven. Conn., where Wood -ard was sent through efforts of the NAACP and the Veterans’ Ad ministration. Mr. Woodard will be taught to read Braille, to write, use the typewriter, walk alone and prepare himself for a trade or pro fession. Woodard’s admission to the train ing school marks the final chapter 1 in. one of the most shocking stor ies in southern anti-Negro sadism in the history of American racial strife. The horrible torture beat ing of the Negro soldier, still in uniform and fresh from more than two years in the South Pacific, be came a cause celebre and was wide -ly publicized in newspapers in every section of the globe when the facts were first discovered by the NAACP in April. 1946. Thru efforts of the Association, Wood ard received medical care from some of the nation’s leading spec ialists but it was discovered that his eyes were totally beyond aid. NAACP investigators tracked down his attacker, Police Chief Shull, who was eventually tried and acquitted in record time in South Carolina. A trust fund of $10,500 was set un with the proceeds from individ uals and funds collected on a na tionwide tour of NAACP sponsor ed mass meetings. t —"■ —■*» V OUR GUEST Column (Edited by VERNA P. HARRIS) o o o THE COLLEGE FRONT (by EDWIN R. EMBREE, President Julius Rosenwald Fund) ooo CHICAGO. i Colleges have swung far toward democracy during the past decade. There is scarcely an institution left, outside the segregated South, that is not open to all students re gardless of creed or color. An ev en in the South recent Supreme Court decisions have forced states to provide much fuller facilities to Negro students. In such border areas as Maryland and West Vir ginia, the state universities have opened graduate and professional training to all citizens rather than go through the fantastic rigma role of providing dual facilities in the advanced specialities. Medical schools are still resistant, holding to quotas for Jews and practical exclusion for Negroes. But even here pressures are at last opening the doors. The great triumph is in faculty appointments. Five years ago only two Negroes held posts in in stitutions other than Southern Ne gro colleges. And these two were in laboratory posts, hidden away from the general classrooms. To day fifty-six Negroes are teaching in colleges and universities from New York University to the Univ ersity of California. While several of these hold temporary visiting lectureships, over half of them have regular, permanent faculty appointments as professors and as sociates. This is a recognition of Negro scholarship—and of democ racy in education—that would have eemed revolutionary even five years ago. High on college rosters today are Allison Davis and Abraham Harris at the University of Chicago; Char les Buggs, professor of biology at Wayne University; Edward Chand ler St. Clair Drake, and Lorenzo Turner at Roosevelt College; Wade Ellis and Edward Palmer at the University of Michigan; Cornelius and Catherine Golightly at Olivet; Adelaide Hill at Smith; Joseph Gier at the University of Califor nia; Ira Reid and Hale Woodruff at New York University; Kenneth Clark, Marion Cuthbert, Eugene Holmes and Lawrence Reddick at the New York City colleges, and a host of others cvhosen soleiy be cause of their talent, Roosevelt College of Chicago has set a new standard with an overt welcome to talent regardless of any artificial restrictions or quota among students, faculty or trust ees. This college is a positive and aggressive force far beyond its own halls, fighting for equal oppor unities and full participation by members of all groups in every phase of American life.

The colored professors have high stand -ing in scholarship and high popu larity as teachers. The service of Negroes on boards of trustees, while still rare, is proving useful in every way. There are still many ills in hu man relations in America. It is of special moment though, that the colleges, which mean so much to the future patterns of our society, are swinging with fresh zest into the practice as well as the teach ing of democracy. 31 Indicted In South Carolina Lynching Greenville, SC., (CNS) A general Sessions Court, Grand Jury has in dicted thirty one men in connect ion with the February 17 lynch slaying of 24 year old Willie Earle.
