the reaponsibilitity of cooperation
with the national War

small that may be over and above
all that is demanded of us with
^ those who have nothing. This fund

We in need; it is for our armed

In Atlanta, Savann;
*>Atlanta,
Nov. 2nd?(ANP)? i
The immediate appointment o f
Negro policemen in two of Georgia's
largest cities,, Atlanta and
I Savannah, was recommended last
week by two groups of white
the other Catholic, as the first
steft- in not only reducing the preale
lit high homicide rates, but as _
-a meuns-of bringing about bettei* |
racial understanding.
Although many cities of neighboring
states have Negrtf peace
officers, thus far there is none in
Geo) gia.
The Atlanta recommendation
made following a four-day confers-,
ence of the Atlanta Council n f
-Chun h Women, asked that the
.sevro "policemen be named foi
_Negro sections of the city.
The Savanuh recommendation,
advanced by. the Savannah dean- ~
ery of the .National Council o f
Catholic Women, in addition to
i asking for the appointment oft,
j Negro policemen to "ease racial t
tensions" also suggested that all
j reeled be turned over to Negroes i1
I after the war.
' "We are grieved that our escutcheon
has so many blots upon 1
| it.1 said the Atlanta council's report,
"and are gravely concerned I
aver the high homicide rate a- '
inong the Negroes of our city that
lives us and Unbelievable reputation
in the nation and makes life j
j cheap in the community."
Continuing, the report said,
"We therefore urge our mayor,
j to make a study of the use of No- L
:;to police in other cities and to j
[ J a l<_c?Uitdei advisement the em- |
ployment of trained Negro police
for our Negro sections."

Negro Bound up wil
Buffalo! Nov. 1?(ANP)?"The
future of the Negro in this country
is hound up with the future of
(lie nation," declared Dr. James
E. Shepard. president of t h e
North Carolina college for Negroes.
Durham, in a speech titled
Racial and Interracial Relations
in North Carolina and the
in the 20th anniversary of the
Michigan Ave. YMCA here Frilay.
"The 80 years which have passed
since the signing of the Emancipation
proclamation i n 1863
have been-marked by social and
technological advances of an unusual
order," stated Dr. Shepard,
who then went on to relate how
the Negro, through his Industry,
perseverance, and his faith, was
able to struggle slowly and pain
fully up from the pitiable place in
which slavery had left him.
The speaker naturally correlated
the Negro's great ability to
sing with h i s deeply religious
-sense, and said that paralleling his
I deep and abiding faith in ChrisI
tianity. "the. Negro has come to
have also great faith in the pro- j
Presses of democracy."
The educator declared that the
Negro realizes that in America,
more' than in any other nation on
Ihe globe, is the fullest and the 1
richest opportunity to make a con
rribution to his fellow man.
"This does not mean that all ! 1
wrongs have been righted," he k
leclared, "nor that anyone be-1
ieves that ours is the Utopia anong
nations. But there is every
reason to believe we are steadily (
ipproaehing the goals towards' T~
which wp have boon striving thece
