IMAGINATION
Imagination! Who can sing thy force
Or describe the swiftness of thy course?
Soaring through air to find the bright
abode,
Thy empyreal palace of the thundering
God,
We on thy pinions can surpass the wind,
And leave the rolling universe behind:
From start to star the mental optics rove,
Measure the skies, and range the realms
above;
There in one view we grasp the mighty
whole.
Or with new world amaze the unbounded
soul.—Phyllis Wheatley.

Eisenhower Still
Opposes Federal
FEPC, Wilkins Says
New York (ANP) While
other Republicans have indicated
a desire to support a federal FEP
law, Dwight D. Eisenhower has
remained firmly entrenched
against one.
Eisenhower disclosed that fact
last week after an hour-long in
terview with Roy Wilkins, ad
ministrator of the NAACP.
Wilkins paid high tribute to
Eisenhower’s sincerity in oppos
ing racial discrimination, but dis
sented from the Republican nom
inee's unwillingness to support a
compulsory federal FEPC.
"We feel without enforcement,
FEPC is Just good advice,” Wil
kins said. "I was dissatisfied with
the general’s reply. We can't
judge candidates on FEPC, al
though Negroes feel very strongly
about the issue."
Wilkins gave his impressions
of the general's attitude on civil
rights. He said:
1. He is for abolition of the
poll tax.
2. He wants "federal action”
against both lynching and the poll
tax (Wilkins said he understood
this to mean an amendment to the
constitution requiring approval of
three-fourth of the states. He
underscored Elsenhower’s use of
the phrase "federal action” rather
than "legislation.”
3. Elsenhower reaffirmed he is
against inequality and discrimin
ation and believes the federal
government should act in that
sense “within its powers.”
4. He said he opposes the fili
buster. But he promptly added the
senate makes its own rules and as
President he could not change
those rules.
5. He reemphasized he is
against segregation in the Armed
Forces.
6 According to Wilkins
Eisenhower was more positive
than before in favoring nondis
crimination among federal em-
7. He advocated a commission
to bring out the facts on discrim
ination in employment (Wilkins
commented: "Discrimination a
gainst a Negro is visible to the
naked eye, and needs no new sur
veys.”
Wilkins concluded by saying
that "except for Eisenhower’s
stand on compulsory FEPC, I
don’t think either he or Steven
son has said anything that would
cause a great surge against them
among Negroes.”
Citizens Urged To
Vote "Yes" On
Green Ballot
A "Yes” vote on the green bal
lot park referendum at the Sep
tember 9 primary election will
not increase taxes but will simply
continue the* levy now in effect,
Clifford C. Sommer, chairman of
the Citizens Committee on Parks
and Recreation, said this week as
block and precinct workers visited
every home in the area to urge
approval of the present park
board funds.
Failure of the referendum to
pass will mean a cut-back of
more than one-third in park funds
and consequent impairment of the
current maintenance and rehab
ilitation program, as well as a
cut in park services and the park
recreation program. Mr Sommer
said.
United community support for
the referendum Is indicated Mr
Sommer said, by the fact that it
has been endorsed by such groups
as the Citizens League of Greater
Minneapolis. Central Labor Union.
Hennepin County CIO, Chamber
of Commerce, Council of Civic
Clubs. Fifth District American
Legion and PTA.
Midway 8340
In spite of the fact that Min
neapolis Negroes spend thousands
of dollars yearly with licensed
taxi cab companies, not a single
Negro is employed as a taxi
driver.
APPEAL TENNESSE
SCHOOL CASE
Knoxville, Tenn.—(ANP)—Par
ents of Negro school children in
Anderson county here have ap
pealed to the U. S. Appeals court
at Cincinnati, Ohio, a decision
handed last spring which denied
the children the right to attend
the county high school.
The complainants maintain that
their children have to travel some
20 miles away to Knoxville's Aus
tin high school. Judge Robert L.
Taylor of the U. S. District court
refused to grant them right to at
tend the county school.
The out-come of this action is
being closely watched because of
its implication. The segregation
setup, based upon race in the
state of Tennessee, hangs in the
balance. There is no Negro high
school in Anderson County.

Chewing Contest
Goldsboro, N. C. (ANP)
Some 20.000 persons were on hand

in of Goldsboro’s sixth annual

testants. At the same time he

Danville, Va.
5,000 Natives March
To Seek Aid From
United Nations
Accra. Gold Coast—(ANP) —A
United Nations investigation mis
sion arrived here last week on the
heels of reports of native killings
by French patrols.
The reports came from French
Togoland that French patrols had
killed two natives and Injured 50
others who sought to visit the
visiting investigators of the UN.
Togoland, split between the
British Gold Coast and adjoining
French West Africa, is adminis
tered by the two European na
tions under UN trusteeships. UN
missions visit them each year to
report to the general assembly on
conditions there.
The dead and injured were re
ported part of a mass movement
by 5,000 persons from British
Togoland who rushed to the bor
der to lend support to freedom
demands presented to the Mission
by natives on French side.

Kennedy Declares
Against Discrimination
And Employment Bias
Roger Kennedy. Republican
candidate for Congress in Ramsey
county, stated this week: "I will
do everything in my power to
secure legislation which will aid
in preventing discrimination in

Interviewed by the RECORDER
this week, Mr. Kennedy went on
record as favoring complete equal
opportunities for all Americans
"Every man and woman has the
right to be treated as an individ
ual, to be employed according to
his or her ability to do the Job
and to promotion In that job as
rapidly as he or she merits such
promotion.
"We, as Americans, can accept
no other principle. Political plat
form civil rights planks mean
nothing if they are just cam
paign promises to be ignored
when the heat Is on. What the
candidate believes in his heart
is the thing that is important. I
believe in equality and will be
consistently for all measures
which will aid in making fair em
ployment practices an actuality."

OPPOSED TO ANY
PROPOSED SALES TAX
Julius E. Norstrem, candidate
for state representative from the
32nd district, stated that he is
unalterably opposed to any plans
to have sales tax legislation pas
sed by the legislature.
Norstrem. who served In the
Merchant Marine during World
War 11, also said that he favors
an FEPC law, expansion of the
mental health program, improved
workers’ compensation benefits
and that the recommendations of
the little Hoover Commission re
ceive special attention.
The American Negro, child of the cul
ture that crushes him, wants to be free in
a way that white men are free; for him
to wish otherwise would be unnatural, un
thinkable. Negroes, with but minor ex
ceptions, still believe in the hope of econ
omic rewards; they believe in justice, lib
erty, the Integrity of the Individual. In
the heart of industrial America is a sur
viving remnant, purchance a saving rem
nant of a passion for freedom, a passion
fanned by their national humiliation.—

The formation of an organizing committee for Minnesota

George H. Leonard of Minneapolis, temporary chairman.
The local committee, affiliated with the national Volun
teers’ group headed by George W. Ilall, will open headquarters
at 90,'i Andrus Building, Minneapolis.
Mr. Leonard said In a state
ment to the press: ‘The voters
of this country are fortunate in
having a choice between two
candidates for President of un
questioned integrity and ability.
Each presents a distinguished
record of accomplishment in his
own field. General Eisenhower
has been a great military leader,
but without experience In civil
government. Adlai E. Stevenson
has had a wide and varied ex
perience in American diplomacy,
and Is now the chief executive of
the great state of Illinois.
"Unlike his opponent. Governor
Stevenson has had extensive and
effective experience in handling
domestic and civil affairs. He has
taken a fearless stand on issues
of grave national importance, in
his acceptance speech, and in his
more recent public statements. He
has assured the people that he
will not yield to the demands of
pressure groups which do not
coincide with the needs of all the
people.
"We are convinced that the
country needs Governor Steven
son as its national leader now.
when supreme statesmanship
rather than generalship is called
for. We are, therefore, undertak
ing to organize voters, regard Iris
of their party affiliations, to help
