Roper Survey
Shows Negro
Vote Power
New York The Negro vote
la perfectly capable of swinging
the 1952 presidential election in
either direction, and the position
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple on political matters Is held
Is respect by at least forty-five
per cent of Negroes these were
the most noteworthy points
stressed by Elmo Roper, noted
public opinion analyst, in his
regular Sunday afternoon broad
cast last week over the facilities
of the National Broadcasting
Company.
"Probably no other group in
America is as conscious of a
single issue, and votes according
to that single issue, as the Ne
groes do on discrimination and
civil rights." Roper stated. Em
phasizing that the margin of
votes among Negroes in the eight
largest states of the North for
the pro-civil rights candidate in
the last election far exceeded the
margin by which he was elected.
Roper said: "This means that the
Negro vote in the North can, in
deed, be a marginal difference
between victory and defeat for
one party or the other ... it is a
fact and not a myth that the Ne
gro vote can swing it either way.”
NAACP Leads Negro Opinion
Of organizations whose opin
ions bold weight with Negro
voters, Roper reported, "far and
away the most frequently men
tioned organizations" is the NA-
ACP. "In fact.” he stated, “it la
evident . . . that there are more
Negroes who think of the NAACP
as a source of at least potentially
good advice on politics than act
ually . , . come out to vote on
election day."
"If the 45 per cent of the Ne
groes who named the NAACP
can be taken as a rough gauge of
the size and extent of the protest
movement among our largest
minority," Roper said. ", . . the
protest sentiment has not yet
been fully converted Into a pro
test at the polls. One explanation
of this might be that Negroes
have never been entirely organiz
ed In politics up to now. Another
explanation Is that In the South
there are still a good many
psychological barriers against
Negro voting. And in the North,
where there Is a steady stream
of arrivals from the Bouth there
Is a question of residence re
quirements before Negroes ....
can qualify to vote.”
The public opinion analyst con
cluded by asserting that the Ne
gro community "cannot be Ig
nored by the professional politi
cians who must take responsibil
ity for engineering victory or de
feat" and that "It is almost im
possible for a candidate to
straddle the civil lights issue."
Caraliu Uitrt—Nat Matahn
Rial Causa af Unwanted Fires
U a common match could speak,
II might well warn: —“I have a
bead, but no brains—so use yoiw
head when using mine!"
Considering that Americans light
SDO billion matches a year—nearly
a million every minute—it’s advice
worth keeping in mind; also. Is the
tact that matches don’t cause un
wanted fires—only careless users
4a.
To assure safety and quality of
matches, American manufacturers
subject them tp a total of 37 re
search and control tests. Wood and
paper are carefully selected so the
Splints have proper strength and
stiffness; the splints are impreg
nated to prevent "afterglow" and
the hazard of falling emblrs: match
Mads are watched tor "over" and
“under" sensitivity—so on striking
they don't Ignite too easily or re
quire too much pressure; to ignite
American matches, at least 300 de
grees (V) is required—heat hot
enough to bake cookies; no poison
ous Ingredients are used in U. S.
matches; and, tests by independent
laboratories prove that the chemi
cals in present day matches are
distasteful to rats and mice—that
even when starving these rodents
will not gnaw matches and so start
fires.
Most common violations of match
safety by users, according to au
thorities, are the following: Dis
carding a match after lighting with
out making sure the flame is ex
tinguished; permitting young chil
dren easy access to matches; storing
matches on the kitchen range, or
other "hot spot”; failure to heed the
40-year-old warning on book match
ee— ‘Close cover before striking
match"; and the habit of some
smokers who hold the top of the
book close to the flame of a match
when lighting a cigarette, cigar,
or pipe, thus making a flue which
might Ignite the whole book.

spect fire!”

greed to review. Both were ap
pealed by the NAACP.
The shift of emphasis In the
fight against segregation from
school systems to the recreation
and transportation fields came
after a meeting of the associa
tion's legal staff.
On the eve of the convention,
White had accused both Gen.
Dwight D. Elsenhower and Sen.
Robert Taft, leading candidates
for nomination for the presi
dency of hedging on civil rights.
He also said that only W. Averell
Hardman of the Democratic can
didates had taken a strong stand
on civil dghts. He indicated that
Adlai Stevenson, governor of Ill
inois might be acceptable to the
NAACP.
Reuther, In discussing civil
lights at a press conference, said
that a presidential candidate
running on the Fair Deal Plat
form, with hard-hitting civil
rights plank, can win the fall
election.
He told newsmen such a civil
rlghta program should provide for
federal enforcing powers that
will tell the world America be
lieves in equal opportunities for
all of its citizena.
The union leader, a member of
the NAACP board of directors,
presented a $5,000 check to the
organization from a special civil
dghta fund of the UAW. He also
presented SI,OOO from a commit
tee of 100, a group which aids the
NAACP financially in court cases.
At a session devoted to an
swering queatlona by persona
working against segregation at
the community level, four race re
lation apecialiata were kept busy.
Kenneth Morland, told dele
gates that;
"The argument that separation
of races is natural, that people
like to be with those of their own
kind can be refuted. It la refuted
by children, among others, who
have not as yet adopted some of
the racial attitudes held gy their
parents. They are free of pre
judice in their choice of play
mates.
"But some children, see the
division of the races and they
adopt the attitudes that the child
la different who is kept apart and
perhapa should be shunned."
In discussing racial barriers in
the South, Wilkins, the keynoter,
said outposts have been establish
ed In every southern stale where
race relations are marked by
haired and violence.
But the legal war for equal
rlghta la not confined aolely to
tha south, Wilkins asserted. He
added:
“NAACP voices a united de
mand from Bouth, North, East
and Want for first-class citizen
ship and an end to discrimination
and segregation baaed on race and
color.”
In other news from the confer
ence, which saw more than 860
delegates from 45 states and
Alaska in attendance. Daniel
Byrd of New Orleans, field secre
tary of the NAACP legal de
partment, said that four suits will
be filed within the next 60 days
in Louisiana, seeking the entrance
of colored persona Into elemen
tary and secondary schools in
New Orleans. St. Helena Parish,
Jackson Parish and Grant Parish.
Another question up for dis
cussion at the convention was
that of housing and the manner In
which It affects minority groups.
Loren Miller, Los Angeles at
torney, NAACP specialist on
housing and restrictive covenant
laws, said that housing repre
sents the No. 1 problem in Ameri
ca today. He termed it a "deadly
and Insidious problem."
Midler Students
The school bell has rung for a
significant number of soldiers, It
was revsaled by a recent compila
tion of results of the Army's Troop
Education Program. Consolidation
of statistics for the first threa
months of 19S1 revealed that Army

and 1,147 eighth grade certificates;
9,205 high school diplomas, and

Jewish Group
Urges FEPC Plank
By Both Parties
The two major political parties
were called upon Monday to re
move bigotry from election cam
paigning and to include FEPC
legislation in party platforms.
The requests were included in
three resolutions passed by the
Anti-Defamation league of B'nai
B'rith, holding its 84th annual
convention in Minneapolis.
Both the Democratic and Re
publican conventions were asked
for "pledges” that bigotry would
not play a part in the election
campaign and that the parties
would not "seek or accept aid”
from any group which bases its
appeal on racial ro religious pre
judices.
In a second resolution the group
asked for creation of a civil rights
commission, enactment of feder
al fair employment legislation
with an agency to enforce It, pas
sage of an anti-lynch bill and an
amendment to Senate rules to
curb filibusters.
The Jewish league also expres
sed dissatisfaction with the re
cent passage of the McCarran
immigration bill which it labeled
"undemocratic and discrimina
tory" against certain races and
nationalities. The league urged
immediate repeal of the law to
bring It In line with "our tradi
tional policy that the United
States should be a haven for the
homeless and oppressed.”
Bunche Urges St.
Louis Graduates To
Practice Democracy
St. Louis (ANP) Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, director of the
UN trusteeship division, last
week told the graduating class at
St. Louis university that Ameri
ca must afford a practical demon
stration of democracy in order to
fulfill Its role of world leader
ship.
In his address before some 1,650
recipients of academic degrees at
commencement exercises at Kiel
auditorium, the 1950 Nobel Prize
winner declared:
"We must practice democracy
as vigorously at we profess it—
it is for America to prove that
democracy can be color blind.”
During the ceremonies, Dr.
Bunche received his 35th honor
ary degree in recognition for his
record of public service. St. Louis
university conferred upon him
the honorary degree of doctor of
laws. The citation noted Bundle's
"Great humanltarianlsm, his in
sight into the relations of man
kind. his sound judgement in the
ordering of public affairs and hi£
warmth of intelligent fellowship."
The former professor of politi
cal science at Howard university,
in his address reviewed the world
situation and asserted that "there
will be no miracles to release us
from our present burdens of anx
iety.
“Great patience, composure and
determination as well as heavy
sacrifice will be required of us if
the catastrophe of atomic war is
to be averted ...”
Bunche compared present day
problems with those which con
fronted his graduating class some
25 years ago. He said that then,
as now. the world was "bedeviled
by great problems." with wide
spread fear, insecurity and suffer
ing ideological conflicts and pre
judices and bigotries in the rela
tions among peoples.
“But I recall quite clearly that
on the fair June day I was very
happy and identified though I
was with a disadvantaged group.
I looked to the future with great
hope.”
In conclusion, the speaker said,
that the era facing the world
the atomic age can become one
of "unparalltded progress or of
blackest tragedy."
Bunche s address and part of
the graduation exercises were
telecast.

Taming the Titan
Chemical and metallurgical eng*
Inters in laboratories all over the
country are grappling with the In
triguing and exasperating prob
lems Involved In the use of titanium
as an engineering metal. This
“new" material was actually dis
covered as a chemical element in
the year that George Washington
was Inaugurated first president of
the United States; but its peculiar
characteristics—especially its re
luctance to separate in pure form
from its ores—have prevented il
until lately, from being exploited.
Now titanium's days as a labora
tory curiosity are over. Military
engineers see In its combination of
strength-with-lightness an opportu
nity to Improve substantially the
mobility and transportability of
combat equipment Aeronautical
engineers anticipate that, when all
feasible application of titanium
alloys are made, the weight o<
heavy planes can be reduced by
from one to five tons.

ST PETER’S A.M.E. CHURCH
The Senior Choir again lent
valuable assistance to the morn
ing worship in their choice of
songs and the spirited way in
which they were rendered. “Bye
and Bye When the Morning
Comes" was an old gospel num
ber that seemed to lift every one;
"When They Ring Those Golden
Bells" was beautifully done for
the invitation number.
The background for the morn
ing message was the story of
Belshazzar and the handwriting
on the wall taken from the fifth
chapter of Daniel. Thou art
weighed In the balances and art
found wanting. Daniel 5:27. Sub
ject— “So you want to be Some
body." Some take home thoughts
were —If there is no hope In
man. there is no hope for him.
God never leaves a life entirely:
Most people are making the
wrong approach to life, trying
to get into the Kingdom side
ways: If you want to be some
body. keep your feet on the ground
put God first in your life in every
thing and go to church on Sun
day.
The Rev. A. L. Kirk, pastor of
the Glendale Ave. Seventh Day
Adventist church presented his
Sermon in Song at the vesper
hour Sunday night. It was well
attended by many of his members
and friends as well as those of
St Peter's members and friends.
He was accompanied by Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Dorothy
Sims. Floyd Poole gave a violin
solo. The whole program was a
very enjoyable one. Three of my
favorites were. “The Jehrtco
Road." T Heard of a City Called
Heaven,” and “I Want Jesus To
Walk AH Around Me." The spon
soring groups were. The Three
"G’.s" from the Seventh Day Ad
ventise church, Mrs. Kirk, presi
dent: The Senior Choir. Mrs. Jes
sie Shannon, president: The Deo
Puce Club. Mrs. Lelia Copeland,
