TUOUS ENTHUSIASM, AN OVERWHELMING
INTENSITY, AN IMMEDIATE AWARENESS OF THE
PRESENCE OF GOD"—at par "THE INTERPRETER'S
BIBLE," 'ACTS OF THE APOSTLES,' p. 72.

"When the men went back to their friends they burst
out in • hymn of praise and thanksgiving, ending with the
petition that they be given the power, NOT TO KEEP STILL,
BUT TO SPEAK OUT WITH EVEN GREATER BOLDNESS
than before. Their prayers were answered. The whole build
ing SEEMED TO SHAKE, as if a power too great to be
contained was shaking itself loose. And the men went out
and spoke the word of God with boldness.

ING INTENSITY OF FEELING, AN IMMEDIATE
AWARENESS OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AN
INCOMPARABLE SENSE OF POWER ANb AN IRRE
SISTIBLE CONTROL OVER THE WILL AND INNER

"Goons Hurl Bombs In Phone Strike"

"ROCKS SMASH 75 WINDOWS AT EXCHANGE"
(Chicago Tribune, Oct. 12)
PORTSMOUTH, 0., Oct. 12 (Spocial) Gunflro, fire
bombs and stones wielded by goons last night produced one
of the worst outbreaks of violence in the 90 day Ohio tele
phone strike, a survey of the widespread damage disclosed
today.
A mob variously estimated at 200 to 500 strong paraded
defiantly around the courthouse and lit flares on the lawn
near the jail where 10 union strikers were placed in cells
a few hours earlier.
Incendiary fires damaged four trucks of the strike beset
Ohio Consolidated Telephone company. A "Molotov cock
tail" a half a gallon bottle of flammable liquid—was tossed
into a company supervisor's car along with a flare, the
ensuing flames destroying the vehicle.
INNOCENT GUEST PERILED
Shots fired into a motel where 25 company supervisors
are staying came within 18 inches of killing an innocent
guest, a passing tourist, in his bed. Stones and bricks hurled
by rioters smashed at least 75 window panes at a company
exchange.

Wilkins Given
Two Awards
NEW YORK—Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary of the
NAACP, had the unusual ex
perience last week of being pre
sented with two awards in one
day.
They were from the B'nai
B'rith Lodge of Brooklyn and
Nu Omicron chapter of Omega
Psi Phi Fraternity. Both pre
sentations were made on Nov.
4.
The B’nai B’rith award, pre
sented to Mr. Wilkins at the
annual covenant breakfast of
that rroup, cited the NAACP
official “for his distinguished
leadership in the field of civil
rights, his eloquent espousal ol
our democratic faith, and his
courageous leadership in the bat
tle for desegregation.”
The Omega Psi Phi "Hu
man Relations Award to a res
ident of Queens" noted that
Mr. Wilkins has made "out
standing achievements in the
field of human relations."
The B'nai B’rith award was
presented at the Granada Hotel
in Brooklyn, and the Omega Psi
Phi award at the Allen African
Methodist Episcopal Church in
Jamaica.
Field s Death
Is Lamented
NEW YORK-Dr. Channing
H. Tobias, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the NAA
CP, has extended condolences
to Mrs. Marshall Field, 111, on
the death of her husband, the
nationally known philanthropist,
on Nov. 8.
In a message to Mrs. Field,
Dr. Tobias declared that "this
sad morning, I can only repeat
v/hat has been said many times
over: ‘he used money to make
men, rather than men to make
money.” Mr. Field, he said,
”was a prince, in fact he is a
prince, ft>r as long as interest
in the poor lives he will live.”
The Field Foundation was or
ganized in 1940 by Mr. Field
to administer his numerous phil
anthropies.
Projects which received what
la believed to be many millions
of dollars from the Field Found
ation generally were in the area
of race relations and child
waif are.

Why Negroes Switched
Votes to Repub licians
NEW YORK—The nationwide
swing of Negro voters towards
the Republican party in the
presidential election was attrib
uted today by Roy Wilkins,
NAACP executive secretary, to
“the growing resentment against
the pernicious role of southern
Democrats in hamstringing all
civil rights legislation and es
pecially in slowing down school
desegregation.”
At long ago as last April.
Mr. Wilkins noted, there wore
positive indications of a switch
among Negro voters away
from the Democratic party
which they had supported con
sistendly with majorities up to
80 per cent since the 1936 elec
tion which returned President
Roosevelt for his second term.
In this year’s election, Presi
dent Eisenhower received a
heavier vote from predominantly
Negro wards than any Republi
can presidential candiate since
1932.
Southerners Reject Dems
Reports received at NAACP
headquarters here indicate that
gains among Negro voters for
President Eisenhower over the
1952 election ranged from four
percentage points in Chicago to
54 in Atlanta.
Four assembly districts in
Harlem, which in 1952 returned
only 20.8 per cent of their votes
for the Republican standard
bearer, this year gave him 33.7
per cent of their total votes.
“It is noteworthy,” Mr. Wil
kins pointed out, “that Negro
voters in the South, who in 1952

NEW YORK—Jackie Robin

today by NAACP Executive
Secretary Roy Wilkins.
The Springarn Medal is pre
sented each year to a Negro
American for distinguished
achievement. Tha medalist is
chosen by a special committee.

Robinson, to be held at the
Hotel Roosevelt, is under au
spices of the officers and direc
tors of the Association.
voted more strongly for Cover- 1
nor Adlai Stevenson than col-j
cred citizens elsewhere in the
nation, this year switched more
sharply to the Republicans than
did northern Negro voters.”
In Louisiana and Kentucky
Negro voters who helped hold
these states for Governor Stc
vension in 1952, this year helped
carry them into the Eisenhower
column.
The President not only in
creased his vote but succeeded
in carrying predominantly Ne
gro election districts in Balti

File for New
Hearing Under
Mich. Smith Act
The Michigan Smith Act de
fendants have filed through their
attorney, Ernest Goodman, a
supplemental memorandum with
the United States Supreme Court
in support of a previous petition
for a write of certiorari (request
to be heard by the Court).
Goodman bases his latest plea
on two points:
1. —That the Supreme Court
sent back to the lower court in
Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Smith
Act case for anew trial as a
result of an acknowledgement
by the Government that one of
its awareness at the trial might
not be creditable.
2. —ln the Michigan case it
was conclusively shown that two
of the Government’s witnesses
hed falsely sworn in their given
testimony.
The two witnesses were Ste
phen Schemanske and Milton
Santwire, both Ford Service De
partment agents as well as being
poid by the FBI.
Shemanske admitted that he
knew Santwire but denied that
“he had any contact with Sant
wire” in connection with the
Ford Motor Company or his em
ployment there.
Santwire denied that he was
paid by anyone other than the
FBI for his services and denied
that the Ford Motor Company
knew of his activities as an in
former for Um FBI. 1

Demi Hold Northern Cities
The resentment against the
Dixiecrats was apparently more
| keenly felt in areas where they
' control state and local govern
ments than in the North. The
Democrats were still able to
; earry the Negro wards in New
York, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Mo., Minneapolis,
and in certain other northern
cities, although by reduced
pluralities.
There was also, in several Ne
gro districts, a falling off of the
vote seeming to indicate that
many voters, dissatisfied with
the performance of both major
parties, decided to sit this elec
tion out. This was true in Phil
adelphi and in certain other
cities.
While attributing the switch
primarily to the civil rights is
sue, Mr. Wilkins noted that
other factors, “such as peace and
prosperity, had their impact up
on colored voters just as they
did upon other citizens. Negroes
want peace as well as civil
rights,” he said, “and they are
also sharing in the generally
i high employment level.”
Mother Os Three

At Dinner Table
A mother of three Was held

shot and killed at the dinner
table.
Nathan Richardson, 40, of 763
Liddesdale, was rhot Saturday
night with a .22 rifle.
The Richardson children
Ronald, 14, Thomas. 11, and
Gordon, 8 told police their
mother, Ruth. 39, objected when
the father said he was going out
for the evening.
Police quoted the youngster*
as saying their mother got the
[rifle from a bedroom and fired
as the father rosa from the
table*
Negroes
May Ride
Busses
Segregation received an
other setback Tuesday as the
U. S. Supreme Court ruled
that separation of the races
(Negro and white) on state or
local busess or other modes
of transportation is unconsti
tutional.
Referring to tho 1954
''school edict" which barred
separation of the races on
all levels in educaton in
public schools, the High
Court upheld a ruling of a
lower court.
Bus boycotts in Tallahas
see, Florida, and Montgom
ery, Ala., were expected to
cease, and all citizens ride
without discrimination.
Meanwhile, reaction 1 n
Florida and Mississippi, on
the part of state officials,
were adamant at the court
ruling, with the governor of
Mississippi declaring, ‘‘we
will not mix the races.”
The bus boycott in Mont
gomery, now in its eleventh
month, was expected to end
this week. Spokesmen for the
Negroes who have been “boy
cotting” city buses, stated
that tne boycott would termi
nate.
In Mississippi, Gov. J. P.
Coleman said his state
would continue to segre
gate Negroes and whites on
public conveyances, despite
the Supreme Court order.
“Our attitude about the
decision will be the same as
about the school segregation
cases,” Coleman saia. Missis
sippi’s public schools, like
many others in the South,
are still segregated.
