“Bouts between colored and white
fighters in the professional ring are

“The Washington Post also finds
itself with a choice. In the interest
of tolerance, it chooses to with
draw from the sponsorship of the

newspaper and the “Battle of Belts”
tourney that was formerly backed
by the Washington Post.
Edwin B. Henderson, chairman of
the committee on recreation for the
NAACP in the District of Columbia,
wrote Eugene Meyer, liberal editor
of the Washington Post, pointing
out that “mixed” boxing wasn’t pro

the Post prevail upon the local AAU
“not to restrict events solely to
white boys.”

Post has sponsored the District of

tournament.
“The District of Columbia Ama

refused to permit colored boys to

ASKS CHURCHES TO LEAD IN
ESTABLISHING NEW ORDER
OF HUMAN BROTHERHOOD
NEW YORK, Jan. 14 Em
phasizing that racial tensions today
are no longer “local” problems, but
have world-wide consequences, the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America in a special race
relations message called upon the
churches of America to take the
lead in establishing a new order of
human.brotherhood.
“The doctrine of racial superior
ity in the modern world is dynamite.
When we consider racial tensions to
day we are not dealing with some lo
cal or sectional or even national dif
ficulty which, however serious, has
strictly limited consequences,” the
message declared. “Either we find a
way of destroying the antagonisms
of race and the lust for power, or

we shall be destroyed by them.”
The message was sent to the 140,
000 local churches comprising the
25 national communions in the fed
eral council.
Asserting that the church has a
“mandate under God for bringing
the nation to repentance for its de
nials of justice to many of its own
citizens,” the message declared fur
ther that “it cannot fulfill this ob
ligation unless it first recognizes
and repents of its own failure to ful
fill the law of Christ in its own life.”
To point the way toward a true
interracial community churches
were specffclally urged to:
Open membership and fellowship
with no barriers on account of race
or national origin.
Oppose racial discrimination in
employment, education, housing,
recreation, etc.
Support independence or self-gov
ernment of colonial peoples within a
fixed term wherever practicable.
