“He that ruleth his own spirit is
greater than he that taketh a city”
Any doubt that the effort to secure
for Negroes full citizenship in terms of
larger enjoyment of civil rights has
been removed by the return of power to
the Rules Committee to say what leg¬
islation shall be presented to the Con¬
gress. The emergency that the threat
of war imposes on the country makes
it necessary to relegate domestic issues
to the pigeon hole. National defense
4s given priority. It is unfortunate that
matters which are as fundamental as
the rights of a large section of the
American population must be laid aside
to prosecute a war whose basic purpose
is to secure such freedoms and rights
to others. There is no doubt that it
is necessary to do so, but a large seg¬
ment of those who are supposed to be
helped, are uncertain of the good in¬
tentions cf our country. It would seem
that the emergency should suggest the
necessity of taking steps to make unity
within the country complete and sin¬
cere without regard to section or class
or race. Unwanted as war, w'ith all its
cruelties and suffering and devastation,
true resignation reminds us that “it is
an ill wind that blows nobody good.”
We are gratified that the Mayor re¬
voked the permit to the Klan to hold a
public demonstration on public prop¬
erty in Savannah. Of all times, this
is not the time for an organization like
the klan to spread its poisonous doc¬
trine of un-Americanism. Of all places,
Savannah, well-known as a city in
which there has never been a lynching,
in which race relations have always
been, not perfect, but good, is not the
place. The reputation of the klan should
have been sufficient reason for not
granting it a permit. We hope the
revocation of the permit annulled the
unfavorable publicity Savannah was
in for receiving. It is bad enough that
Savannah’s refusal to run boledo out
puts it very close to the cities now bask-*
ing in the notoriety which the attention
of the Kefauver Committee has given
them. We did not want it to get the
name of encouraging the Ku Klux Klan.
The mistake of granting such a permit
to this organization need not be made
again.
THE TAX QUESTION ONCE AC AIN
All too frequently somebody rises to
discuss the matter of taxes paid by
Negroes, as compared with the amount
of taxes paid by white people. The
first error made by those whose pur¬
pose is to show Negroes up in a bad
light, is to misinterpret the principle of
taxation by making it apply to groups
instead of to individuals. Under this
interpretation, it would seem that all
Negroes pay the small amount of direct
taxes credited to them, and all white
people pay in the larger amount of taxes
paid. This line of thinking is contra¬
ry to the principle of taxation. Its
break-down is plainly seen when and if
an attempt were made to distribute the
benefits to individuals who pay direct
taxes. Many poor white people would
have to put up with the inadequate
school facilities, for instance, Negroes
have. By the same token the poorer
counties would suffer likewise.
We mention this question again be¬
cause people ought to see the fallacy in
this oft repeated statement; because a
Georgia Representative recently had
his speech, The Time Has Come For
Action, printed in the Congressional
Record. The Congressman makes this
statement:
“ I he Negroes in Georgia, and parti¬
cularly those in the Fifth Congressional
District of Georgia, have for a long
time been accorded educational advan¬
NEGR0 STATION
SKYROCKET ARTIST
RECORD SALES
ATLANTA. Georgia—“This is
what we have needed for a long
time,” exclaimed one of the
nation’s leading recording stars
while visiting the “Gate City to
the South” recently.
The artist, like manv others
who have been to Atlanta, was
referring to America's first and
pnly owned radio station,
WERD. The station, which is i
owned by J. B Blavton. Sr., |
university professor banker
and fied Georgia's Public onlv Accountant, Negro Certi¬ has ]
,
done more for the increasing of
sales of Negro artists’ records
people, far superior to those which
they have earned, or which they have
shown themselves to be entitled through
their own efforts.” He says further,
“Had their school opportunities and fa¬
cilities been limited to such as their
ow'n taxes would have paid for, it is
doubtful if provision could have been
made for Negro children as a whole to
finish the first grade.”
He could have said the same thing
about the poorer white people who pay
no more direct than the same class of
Negroes. R would be interesting to
make a study of the amount of indirect
taxes paid by non-property owners.
Where such studies have been made,
the revelations have been more than
convincing of the falsity of the charge
that Negroes pay only 2 or 3 per cent
of the taxes. Obviously, the difficul¬
ties to be met in attempting such a
study are almost insurmountable. We
believe the Congressman from the Fifth
District could surmount these difficul¬
ties, and thereby produce an illuminat¬
ing and unanswerable document that
would be deserving of a place in Record.
SERVICE AWARDS
An interesting article in a recent is¬
sue of Collier’s Magazine gives the
story (of Sgt. Arthur Dudley, a squad
leader of a mixed group. Besides
being called the best squad
leader in Korea, he has received the
Distinguished Service Award. An ar¬
ticle in another press release has to
do with the heroism of two Negro
Lieutenants, Sutton and Wynn from
New York and North Carolina respect¬
ively. According to reliable reports
these men have conducted themselves
in battle in a manner to deserve the Con-'
gressional Medal of Honor, but unless
their Commanding Officer recommends
them for it, they will not receive it. This
is in compliance with Army Regulations.
With the outstanding record Negro sol¬
diers have made in our country’s wars,
only two have received the Congres¬
sional Medal of Honor, the first in 1862
and the last in 1898. That more have
not received it is not due to the fact
Negroes have not merited it, but is due
to the fact that officers just have not
recommended them. Needham Roberts
and Henry Johnson, and others in World
War 1 received the French Award but
their own country failed to honor them
as they deserved to be. There are well-
understood reasons why this is so: such
recognition carries with it certain mon¬
etary and honorary values which some
people believe Negroes should not have,
An indication of this fact is the instance
of a secret document. . . issued from i
General Pershing’s office, in which the
French officers were urged not to treat '
Negroes with familiarity and indulgence,
since this would affront Americans, I
and not to commend too highly the |
black American troops in the presence
of white Americans.’”. j
A practice at the present savors of '
the reason why Negroes were kept out ;
of certain ranks and denied certain op¬
portunities. Despite the invitation to
qualified young men to join the Air
Corps, sounded from the radio almost in¬
cessantly, qualified young Negroes are
given the old run-around (?), the quota
is filled, when they apply for entrance
into that branch of the Armed Services.
This sort of thing furnishes fine pro¬
paganda material for the Communists
who like to annoy us Americans about
our democratic pretensions. However
the trend being what it is, we believe
this situation can be corrected if and
when proper protest is made to the
right authority. We believe the exi¬
gency that is undoubtedly imminent
will require that an end he put to this i
discrimination. Unless all signs fail our !
country will need all the i
manpower i
the “Greater Atlanta Area”
than any other factor, according j
to distributors, retail houses and I
those generally connected with
the trade. Coin machine opera¬
tors, alio, have noticed an in¬
crease in the playing of blues
and spiritual records on juke
boxes, and attribute this factor
to the constant playing of thfse
tunes on the station.
Before WERD hit the air-
waves one vear ago, there were
only two stations- out of nine
that played records of Negro
artists, which was usually an j i
hour long program dailv
Because the disc Of jockeys the manv of the reouest^ station | !

BETWEEN THE LINES
By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK for ANP
THE CONFUSION OF PRAYERS
at Babel is too wet!-remembered to need
recounting here. The burden of his re¬
lease is the confusion of prayers that must
result from our prayers for peace. The na¬
tion is falling back upon the solace and
strength of prayers, such as our fathers
prayed.
Because of our scientific achievements
and our age of technology, we had almost
relegated prayer to the limbo of forgotten
things. But the ominous cloud of war is
driving us once again to our praying grounds
Of course Our Heavenly Father understands
that we are not different from our fathers,
who always clung to God in times of trouble
and forsook Him in time of triumph, even
as we do in this Twentieth Century.
The shame of mankind is that a nation
was never born that could stand prosper-*
ity; that would not beseech God most hum¬
bly in times of trouble and curse Him to
his face In the time of fatness. We are’
not different from our father, but even as
they had to pay the price, so have we„ of
our follies and our foolishness.
Today is the Thirty-First whereon our
nation has been summoned to prayer for
peace without brotherhood. Our Congress
of course must be praying for a peace that
precldes an anti-lynching sentiment, for a
peace that disregards the righteousness in
an FEPC legislation, for a peace that stu¬
diously omits the wickedness of the poll-
tax implications. In other words, this na¬
tion for the most part wants a peace that
can be imposed upon injustice, race preju¬
dice and white supremacy.
It is just as well for this nation to know
that such peace cannot come to our dis¬
traught people. The path to peace leads,
to a straight gate and there is no other
way. For a hundred thousand years men
have sought some other way but they have
failed to find it.
The prayers, therefore, that carry race,
“reservation” clauses are not g'oing to avail
before the throne of God, and so we may
as well stop praying and get our heavy ar¬
tillery in place. As the old Irish general told
his soldiers on the eve of battle, “Trust
PEPSI-COLA NATIONAL SALES STAFF
NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. — Assistant Sales Manager Edward F. Boyd chats with Pepsi-Cola
National Sales Representatives following the completion of the intensive sales orientation program,
last week in New York City. These Pepsi-Cola national sales representatives, under the supervision
of Mr. Boyd, will be calling upon sales outlets and organizations throughout the United States in
order to increase sales and cement good-will.

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y.-^-Tlic i
Pepsi-Cola Company in contin- !
uing to maintain its established [
top po ition as an example j
among American industries in i
integrated emDloyment patt- j '
erns, this week completed an
extensive gram for sales nine orientation of its national pro- |
sales representatives. This j
marks the first instance in the
soft beverage field, that Negroes
have to obtain been given an opportunity j
the entire fundamen¬
tals of the bottling industry.
Pepsi-Cola went into the fore¬
front years ago in taking cog¬
nizance of the “Negro Market”
bv endeavoring to make r ure
that the benefits of its activi¬
ties were available to all seg¬
ments of our societv and its
leadership still remains undis¬
puted These benefits included
the Pepsi -Cola Scholarship
Program. Pepsi-Cola Service¬
men's centers, Youth Canteen
program, and an integrated
employment policy in the Pepi-
Co'a Company.
The parent company and
home offices of Pepsi-Cola are
located in New York City. In
1946. the Pepsi-Cola Company,
considered one of TJ. S. indus-
trv’s miracles of modern biri-
ness, chose Edward F Boyd,
native of California and alum¬
nus of the University of Cali-
fomia. as assistant sales man-
ager. Mr. Bovd, formerly of the
Federal Housing Amhoritv and
Hie Community Relations Pro¬
ject, co-sponsored bv the Na¬
tional Urban League and the
General Edueation Board of the
Rockefeller Foundation, built a
field sales force of national
sales representatives.
Besides selling to existing
accounts and opening new ac¬
counts for Pepsi-Cola bottlers
throughout the United States,
his salesmen erect displav work
engage in public relations and
promotional activities in these
communities. Mr. Boyd points
out that, after the first of the
year, some of his sales staff
operate from the Regional 1
offices assisting i
others will cover the ,
and school activities of
nation, and others will con-
in God but keep our powder dry.” Even
so must our nation pray its prayer for
peace, but keep its powder dry for war it
will be.
Herein lies the stark tragedy of the
times. We give lip service to God our
Father, think but our hearts are far from him.
Just of prayers for a peace without
brotherhood! But we need not, be dismay¬
ed. God is not mocked.
Before these troublous times are over we'
are going to pray for peace even if it means
brotherhood to all men. The world is en¬
tirely too small to have even spots of hu¬
man subjugations. Just as Lincoln saw
that the nation could not exist half slave?
and half free so it must be clear of even
a casual observer that this world cannot
have peace unless it is based upon broth¬
erhood.
And so there must be a confusion of
prayers around the Great White throne.
Some praying for a real peace of broth¬
erhood; others praying for a peace based
upon white supremacy and the tenents
thereof: and still ethers praying for a
peace that precludes brotherhood. How
could sacrilege be more sacrilegious! Peace
without brotherhood! If God would sud¬
denly dispatch a Heavenly courier to earth
with terms of peace and those terms in¬
cluded full citizenship and brotherhood for
Negroes, the Ku Klux Klan and the Dixie-
crats and their abettors would handle him
roughly for his insult.
If they would not hear the Christ of God,
certainly they would resent a Heavenly
courier dispatched swift from the throne
of God. The solemn fact remains, this,
nation thinks more of its anti-Negro tra¬
ditions than it thinks of Jesus, his life and
teachings, than it thinks of peace.
With a lot of people in this nation race'
prejudice and its traditions come first and
God and Jesus come next. And yet we
would insult God by’ offering unto Him a
waver for peace that precludes brother¬
hood.
God save our nation! God have mercy up¬
on prejudiced America, upon this color-
struck world!
