Five Drivers Hired
As Fifth Avenue
Bus Operators
NEW YORK (NNPA)—Five Ne
gro men were assigned last week to
drive Fifth Avenue buses, the first
non-white drivers to be hired by
the Fifth Avenue Coach Company
since it was established in 1889,
Edmund C. Collins, vice president,
disclosed yesterday.
“This is not a revolution in
company policy,” Mr. Collins said.
“We have never discriminated
against Negroes. We wonld have
hired Negroes on a merit basis
in competition with whites at any
time in the company's history.
However, until 1941 no Negro
ever applied to work for us as
a driver."
The Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany, parent corporation of three
other city lines, the New York City
Omnibus Corporation, the Madison
Avenue Coach Company and the
Eighth Avenue Coach Company, is
the last of these concerns to employ
Negro drivers, "solely because on
Fifth Avenue we have had no va
cancies for drivers since 1939, qntil
we hired these men last week," Mr.
Collins said.
Negroes have been driving on the
other three lines since 1941, when
they first applied for the work, he
added.

lished on February 7.
It was through her newspaper
work that Mrs. Petry was able to
compile the material for her book.
Interviewing celebrities, covering
political rallies and fires, and re
porting on murders and suicides,
gave her the background to write
about human nature and about peo
ple as people.
In “The Street,” she attempts to
show that Negroes are motivated
by the same emotions as whites,
and writes movingly of the condi
tions under which so many of
America’s greatest minority must
live.
Gene Harris
Resigns Elks
Rest Post
Gene Harris, popular manager of
the St. Paul Elks Rest and Cafe,
submitted his resignation to Gopher
Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W.,
Jan. 23.
Reports say the lodge voted to
refuse the tendered resignation. A
later meeting of the officers and
trustee boards of the lodge ac
cepted Mr. Harris’ resignation ef
fective as of Feb. 11.
Mr. Harris opened the restaurant
as manager about four years ago.
Under his direction and with the
assistance of his wife who managed
the kitchen, the Rest grew into one
of the most popular eating places
in the Twin Cities.
Negro, Jewish, Catholic Students
Victims of College Discrimination
NEW YORK (NNPA)—While the report alleging discrimina
tion against Negro, Jewish and Catholic students in universities
in New York and throughout the United States, has not yet been
adopted by the Mayor’s Committee on Unity, Charles Evans
Hughes, Jr., chairman, most members agreed with parts of it,
such as the findings of discrimination and the recommendation
for a state university.
The document, entitled “Report on Discrimination in Institu
tions of Higher Learning,” said that, with few exceptions, private
colleges and professional schools in New York City limit the num
ber of New York City students. In justification the schools con
tend that they are national institutions, the report said.
The report added that what amounts to a quota system for
Negro, Jewish and Catholic students has been put into effect in
private institutions of higher learning, particularly in medical
schools. This condition has been growing worse in the last ten
years, the report declared.

Congress Hears Ringing Challenge of Troo;
“Handicaps or Not, They Did Job!”
Helen Gahagan Douglas Tells Facts
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA). —Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas, Demo
crat, of California, last Tuesday answered the slurs on Negro troops made in and out of
Congress, by citing on the floor of the House their accomplishments in World War 11.
Her speech was introductory to a detailed but incomplete account of the records of
Negro units. She plans to continue her remarks until she has covered their contributions
from the arrival of the Forty-first Engineer Regiment in Liberia on June 17, 1942, to
VJ-day.
Dramatically she caught the at
tention of the House when she told
the members, “It is about the
Negro soldier I wish to speak to
day.”
She added that she wished to pay
her respects and “to express the
gratitude of the American people
for his contribution in the greatest
battle of all time—the battle which
decided whether or not we were to
remain a free people.”
Negro soldiers in World War 11,
Mrs. Douglas said, achieved their
records “under handicaps that did
not have to be overcome by most of
their white fellow citizens,” adding:
“Three-fourths of all Negroes
in the armed forces came from
areas in this land of the free
where their people had been held
down for generations, denied
education, denied the use of tools
any more complicated than a hoe,
denied the right to participate in
self-government, denied even the
right to self-respect.
“For them, equal educational
opportunities, equal pay for
equal work, practically any op
portunity to work at skilled
trades simply did not exist. They
went into the armed forces ill
equipped, through no fault of
their own, for the tremendous
job required of them.
“But they did the job, all the
same, handicap or no handicap.
And they did it magnificently.”
Mrs. Douglas pointed out that
Navy crosses were won by mess
attendants, who were not permitted
to enlist in the Navy as fighting
men, and cited the tributes paid to
2,600 Negro soldiers in service
units who volunteered for combat
duty as replacements in white
units.

College Head
Tells Pastors
To Wake Up
By Rev. Clarence Nelson
Racism would disappear if Chris
tianity would really exert itself in
the life and practice of ministers
and members of the churches in
America, according to Dr. Charles
H. Wesley, president of Wilber
force University in a scholarly and
dynamic address to the more than
400 ministers who attended the
Minnesota State Pastors’ Confer
ence in Plymouth Congregational
Church, Minneapolis, Last Tuesday
morning.
Dr. Wesley, who is a graduate
of Fisk, Yale and Harvard univer
sities, and one of the outstanding
leaders of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, asserted the
three forces—Christianity, nation
alism and racism—have co-operated
in giving us a very bad world, and
that one of these, Christianity, must
triumph if we are to have real
world peace.
Whites Ar* Minority
Dr. Wesley called his audience’s
attention to the fact that white
people are a minority in the world,
and that another war ia certain
unlesa the colored peoples of th*
world ar* given their full right*
as human beings.
“The church must learn to func
tion among people culturally differ
ent, and racially unlike. Our min
ister*. as well a* people, need re
education on this issue,” he de
clared.
He scored minister* who spoke
piously about race relations, but
did little or nothing about bring
ing about better race relation* in
their own communities. In thia con
nection he said, "Th* Gospel has
ceased in human relations to be ■
flaming sword. It is now a satisfy
ing, compromising word without
power to move. We need leaders
who will educate and lead members
and not remain followers of out
moded opinion.”
Practice What We Preach
"Religion and Democracy Face
Their Greatest Challenge: Races
and Creeds,” was the subject of Dr.
Wesley’s second address to the con
ference on Wednesday morning. He
declared that the war brought us
face to face with the race problem.
Dr. Wesley pointed out that, “Our
preachment of religion and democ
racy to colored peoples in other
parte of the world, have left them
unenthusiastic because of the mis
treatment of minorities in this
country. . . . Race was not an iso
lated phenomenon, but an inte
grated part of the war.”
Dr. Wesley predicted that the
present United Nations Organisa
tion will be a fiasco, as was the
League of Nations, if all races and
nations are not treated differently
from what they have been in the
past. He said that democratic gov
ernments have been set up in Bel
gium and Holland, but nothing has
been done about the Belgian Congo
and the Indonesians. He declared
that the British preach and talk
about democracy, but they do noth
ing about giving India and other
rolonies their democratic rights.
Scores Filibuster
He scored the filibuster that is
being waged in the Senate against
the Fair Employment Practice
Commission Bill, when he declared:
“That there is a fight being waged
in the Congress against a bill that
would give equality of opportunity
for employment to all, as though it
were something unequal and bad.”
In speaking of the present in
dustrial situation as it regards
people of different races, Dr. Wes
ley said that "It is impossible for
white workers to be free as long
as black, yellow and brown workers
are in shackles.”
“Assumptions concerning race
are irreligious and unscientific, and
prejudice is often practiced by those
who ought to know better, such as
some ministers, social workers,
teachers and industrialists," he as
serted.
Dr. Wesley made an impassioned
plea for “an all out people’s effort
for the rights of all peoples.” Peo
ple should be regarded for their in
dividual worth and should not be
submerged by some group or racial
designation, he said. “Isolationism
in race should be shunned just as
national isolationism ia outmoded."
Dr. Wesley gave credit for prog
ress that is being made In race re
lations in some areas and by some
groups, especially labor and other
secular organisations. In speaking
of the need of church and commu
nity inter-racial co-operation. Dr.
Wesley said that white people must
lose their arrogance, and people of
the minority groups would do well
to take the ehip from their shoul
der.
The Rev. B. N. Moore, pastor of
St. James A. M. E. Church, St.
Paul, was elected one of the vice
presidents of the conference. He is
the first Negro minister so honored.
