NEGROES TO ASK PARTY SEATS Negroes in at least two southern states Friday expressed deterrtlina- tion that the recent Supreme court ruling giving negroes the right to vote in democratic white primaries shall not be ignored and indicated the issue was far from closed. A direct test of the decision was expected to come in Mobile, Ala., where Alexander L. Herman, king of the negro mardi gras in Mobile in 1941, said he would contest the re fusal of a probate judge to grant him an absentee ballot for the May 2 Alabama primary. Herman said he had been advised by attorneys to “keep quiet” about the matter, but that he had refused because his name was on he list of qualified voters. In Columbia, S. C., John H. Mc Cray, negro chairman of the “Pro gressive Democratic Party,” de nounced the National Democratic party as “just as responsible, if not more so, than the state party for the denial of negroes to member ship, in that it tolerates discrimina tion in the South.” McCray said this party intends to “’put the national Democratic con vention on the spot” by requesting that it seat a slate of negro dele gates from South Carolina instead of the regular white Democratic party delegates." “Since the white party has re fused us membership, and has sug gested that we form a negro party,” McCray said, “we will ask for 42' or 43 per cent of the convention dele gates sent to Chicago.” If the request is refused, he said, the negro party will attempt to fill all South Carolina convention seats on the basis that its membership is open to all creeds and races. He said negro delegates would be instructed to support Mr. Roosevelt or whomever he may endorse and warned that the convention can either accept the 18 South Carolina votes as cast by negroes or possibly lose the votes of negroes in key northern cities. “It is inconsistent,” he declared, “that Gov. 04in Johnston and Sena tor Smith speak of white supremacy in Sotith Carolina, When they go up north and collaborate with the northern negroes in so far as the Democratic party is concerned.” Sandy took his sweetheart to a charity bazaar. Presently they came to a booth where an assortment of lovely charms were offered for sale. “Oh, Sandy,” she exclaimed, ‘buy me a charm?” “Ah, lassie,” he answered ad miringly, “ye have too many charms already.”—Christian Science Mon itor. FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1944 TROTESTANT MINISTERIAL SUPPLY CUT Kansas City, Apr. 28—A recent selective service ruling will cut off supply of Protestant students for the ministry, Dr. Samuel McRae Cavert of New York said today, but will not affect the Roman Catholic hurch at all. Doctor Cavert, executive secretary of the Federal Council of Churches, in an address to the quadriennial Methodist general conference, said that the order cancelled the defer ments of all students for the min istry except those in seminaries by July 1. He said that the effect of this would be “to cancel the supply' of Protestant students for the minis try entirely, but not to affect the supply of candidates for the Roman Catholic priesthood.” In the Catholic church, Doctor Cavert said, students for the priest hood will be in junior seminaries of the church, and hence exempt, Protestant students of the same age will be in colleges, and hence will be drafted. Doctor Cavert said he did not wish to imply that the selective service meant to have the ruling operate in this manner, but he said a protest had been lodged asking for a reconsideration. DEATH OF KNOX BIG LOSS, FDR STATES Washington, Apr. 28—'President Roosevelt said tonight the death of Secretary of the Navy Knox is a “heavy loss to us and to me especial ly who had come to lean cn him in creasingly.” The President’s expression of re gret was in a statement issued by the White House. It said: “I announce to the nation at war the sudden passing of the secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox. It is a heavy loss to us and to me especially, who had come to lean on him in creasingly. “He has done much for his coun try; he has helped greatly in our defense and in making victory cer tain. “Finally, I like to think of his bigness and his loyalty. Truly he put his country first. We shall greatly miss his ability and his friendship.” The two girls were exchanging confidence over the luncheon table. “What did the Sergeant say when you told him you’d be a sister to him?” , “Why the rascal had the nerve to ask me to lend him a dollar so he could take another to a movie.”— Christian Science Monitor.
