THE THIRD PARTY
For purely sentimental reasons, Mr. Wal¬
lace appeals to Negroes. He has been a
liberal in his attitude on most questions.
He has been an outspoken advocate of civ¬
il rights for all people. He has been an
anti-segregationist and' has advocated all
of the recommendations proposed by the
the' PresidontTs Civil Rights Commit toe.
These things have naturally made Negroes
sympathetic towards 'his aspirations, but
his willingness to accept the support of the
communists and his attitude towards Rus¬
sia’s stubborn resistance to what we- be¬
lieve is the desire of most nations compos¬
ing the United Nations, drive the masses
of Negroes from him, for they want no
part of communism.
Third parties have rarely been success¬
ful, and at this point in the Negro’s im¬
proving political status, his joining up with
Mr. Wallace's party would be ill-advised. It
would undo much that has been accomplish¬
ed in the way of bettering political relations
between the races. This is true particular¬
ly in this ' city and county. We sure
are
the Third Party vviy receive very little en¬
couragement fyere,
THE TOT ABOILING
While the political pot is starting to
boil there, is an air of confusion astir. The
out-agaiir^ jpp^Kiain antics of leaders of the
CPU, the 5 ' party now in office, are,, offering
poor encouragement to many of its adher¬
ents. Thyme are many rumors as to the
causes which started it flying apart. The
prospects for success at the polls, this
coming election, are by no means bright,
if the opinion ofi the man on the street has
CARL RANKIN JORDAN
GETS M. D. DECREE
Carl Rankin Jordan, son of
Mrs. Eliza A. Jordan of 818 Wa¬
ters avenue and nephew of the | i
late Dr. Frank S. Rankin ol
Chicago, was the recipient of
the M. D. degree from Howard
university on June 4.
Dr. Jordan is a graduate of
St Benedict's Jr High. Beach
High, this city, and the college
of liberal arts of Howard uni¬
versity IB. S. in physics cum
laude in 19463. He was saluta-
torian cf his class at St Bene¬
dict and at Beach. He is 23
years old. He taught zoology
at Howard university during the
summer of 1947.
He will do his interneship

pital in Washington, after
which he intends to establish

any value. The confusion is added by
fact that the city administration and
county administration are not expected
see eye to eye as to their respective tick¬
ets, and the persistent rumor that the
Mayor will head a ticket of his own choos-
ing.
What gives us no little concern is the
shortsighted effort of several self-seeking
leaders to split the Negro vote. If they
succeed they will ruin its effectiveness. At
this stage of our progress, we cannot af¬
ford to lose sight of the fact that jn union
there is strength. To sacrifice the best
interest of the people for a few dollars, or
doubtful personal favor is a crime against
them. While there has been no indication
that any large number of voters are as
yet turning to these self appointed leaders,
the threat exists. We warn our voters to
review the progress which has been made
under the present recognized leadership.
The gains have been made for the benefit
of the people. There can be no doubt that
the appointment of Negro police officers,
:he employment of Negro matrons at the city
jail, increased recreational facility, and
appointment of Negroes to important com¬
mittees are definitely attributable to the
intelligent and disinterested leadership
made possible by the unity of Negro
The best interests of the entire
ity will be better served by keeping our
voters solidly together. It is distinctly to
the advantage of our white friends to be
aware of those would-be leaders who are
beginning to approach them with their
hands out.
THE KANSAS CITY CONFERENCE
The report of what was done at the
ieneraJ Conference of the AME Church
•it Kansas City allays the disappoint¬
ment at the carryings-on which made the
onference one of the roughest within the
memory of many oldtimers. The confer¬
ence was making reforms which those- who
wanted to maintain the status quo were ex¬
acted to resist with all the power at their
•i.mmand. Those who pressed for reform
telieved they were performing a sacred
lutv. They returned the church to the
>eople, and checked, perhaps, for the force-
ible future, the autocratic practices which
have tended to injure the prestige of this
great church. As a result preachers will
live less under the fear of being sent “to
he woods” to starve. Bishops as well as
preachers, under the new rule, may not re¬
main at a station longer than eight years;
'.epotism is abolished, a business-like sys-
etn of handling finances is established,
ind all honorariums to bishops are hereaf¬
ter disallowed.
Annoyed by the notoriety the church
has achieved in recent years, a strong well
led layman’s organization was responsible
for pushing through the reforms that are
dmost revolutionary in nature. Conference has
The Kansas City General
won the gratitude and admiration of all
church people everywhere for its valuable
contributions to the history of this great
church.
Mh. SHERRY SPEAKS
TO HEALTH COUNCIL
Norris Sherry, director of
buildings for Savannah, spoke
to the Health Council Monday
at the YMCA. Mr. Sherry ex¬
plained the sections of the re¬
cently passed Housing Sanita¬
tion Code, and stated that
that there is a great need for
education among * the tenants
and a general awakening oi
the whole community to the
need of sanitary housing.
Mr. Sherry solicited the aid
of the council to help in the
education of the public in exe¬
cuting the Housing Sanitation
Code.
This was (he last- meeting of
the council for the summer.
The next meeting is scheduled
or September 21.

BLOOD DONORS NEEDED
Did you Know mat ir.zia ire
patients at the Georg .a Infirm-
ary who are literally dying be
cause no blood donors can be
found? One case is especially
pathetic. A sixteen year old
girl (a member of the Beach-
Cuyler 10A class who has tu¬
berculosis) needs a transfusion
of Type 2A blood. For three
weeks, no donor has been found
Medical authorities advise
that the procedure of “blood
: letting” is simple and almost
painless and that after two
■j meals, with servings of meat,
the body makes up the loss of
blood.
Readers, isn't this a small
price to pay, for the life of an¬
other? If you want to help in
VT.s serv> e, teijphoro the
Georgia infirmary or Charity
hospital at once.
