Negro Voters SeenFleeing Democrats
NEW YORK - (INS, A survey conducted by o nalionol magazine showed Wednesday that Negro vote1 co siitenfly Democratic since 1936, oppeor io be swinging fo the Republican Party ond ore markedly critical of Adloi Stevenson.
Tire study, conducted by Reporter magazine, said
"It'ls safe to say that if Stevenson were to run against Elsenhow ■ er tomorrow, the Negro vote would show a very marked swing away from tire Democratic party
NEGRO PRESS TOThe article reported that a large
segment of the Negro press also b moving away from the Democrats and it quotes the editor of the Chicago Defender as predicting "v major shift in political alignments’
, by Negroes this yearThe author of the art.cle. Robert
Benditier. points .out that from 1936 through 1952 the Negro_yote has run close to 83 per cent De-
I mocratic. and In close elections, 1 I like the TTtiniHn-Dewey eampaten , could have cost the Democrat I their victory with less than a 15 ■ 1 per cent switch in key states like California. Ohio and Illinois
Bendiner add’d. however: HOPE HELD
"The saving grace trom the Dc-_l mocratic viewpoint, is that the re bellion appears to .be working down from the top and may not go deep enough into the rank and file by
November to be as disastrous as Republican strategists fondly hope "

Hie nurse Is Mildred Ann Vogel. R. N„ Director of Nursing at (he ML Sinai Hospital of Greater Miami. Miami Beach, Florida, who within six years has placed all white and Negro emplpyeea of Ihe institution on an equal oasis.
The award was presented at the Chicago Coliseum by Ague- Ohlson. R. N. president of the American Nurses' Association, at the opening program meeting of the convention
The "Mary Mahoney Award”— named in honor of Mary Mahoney. America’s first Negro professional nurse, who was graduated from the New England Hospital for Women ind Children in 1879—is presented it each biennial ANA convention.
The award is given to the per- on or group of person who. In ad- lition to contributing significantly ‘o nursing in general, has been outstandingly instrumental In opening »pportutles in the nursing profes- lon to members of all racial and re- igious groups on an equal basis
The ANA's interest in making this award, according to Miss Ohlson, Is to foster its policy of establishing professional comnetence as the sole criterion for judeing a nurse's fit- imxs regardless of creed, race or color.
As a result of Miss Vogel’s Initiative and direction .all employees at Mt. Sinai today have the same working privileges and share all facilities open to hospital personnel.
'Gills U a success story of integration in nursing due largely to the vision, initiative and effort of one woman .In this case a nurse," Miss Ohteon said in presenting award.
Prior to 1950. when Miss Vogel began her work toward integration. Negro nurses In Mt Sinai Hospital were employed tn the Negro ward only and were compelled to eat In a special area within the unit. Negro private duty nurses sent in by the registry were denied employment unless the pattern was of the same race Today Negro nurses are working in all aras of the hospital.
Miss Vogel, launched her cam-
palgn six years ago by submitting to the executives ol Mt. Sinai a plan geared to gradual policy with inte- «ration ot minority group ntir-es as die ultimate goal.
Out of this came a' program [Junned ip cooperation with the hospital's board of trustees, executive director .administrator, medical staff and personnel and leaders of the Negiu community, and with their.full backing.
The nuking staff accepted the gradual policy changes introduced under Miss Vogel's direction and gave their support to the overall p’an for equal rights, responsibilities and practices. Miss Ohlson said ,
Tlie award to Miss Vogel marks a fitting climax to a decade of progress under the ANA's Intergroup Relations Program. Miss Ohlson said aimed at eliminating racial barriers to membershin then in effect In •erne state nurses-associations affiliated with the ANA A nurse belongs to the ANA through memberhip in it state group.
Miss Ohlson noted I hut all except one of the 54 constituent state and teiTitoiial associations grant full membership to Negro nurses. In that one state Negro nurses-may join tlie national association directly
The ANA's platform calls for full partl-ipation of minority groups in association activities and elminailon of discrimination In ediicatnn, job cpporl unties, salaries and working conditions.

Along TheSports Trail In Bias Fight
BY SAM BROWN humble
Many boxing fans are claiming that tie recent Bobo Olson- Sugar Ray Robinson figh* wa; one of the biggest fiascoes ever sold to fighting fans. The buildup fo rthe fight surpassed anything that had happened in a long lime, and only seived to show how gullible the sports, or at least the boxing public is with enough
ballyhoo.
The record shows that Robinson had defeated Olson in three other fights, two of them by knockouts, yet enough interest was manifested in the last Friday night's fight to draw a gate in excess of some $200. 000 00 It only proved how powerful ballyhoo can be.
The pennant races in the major leagues are becoming hotter and hotter each day. especially in the National League, where most of the experts conceded the Brooklyn Dodger» a walkaway in their pre-season prtdicitions. 4s of today we find the Dodgers having their troubles trying to stay in the first division, and that some of the teams that were assigned to the second division are showing the way.
Among Ihe surprise teams are the Pittsburg Pirates, who were considered a good team, but hardly potent enough to caus? much concern and the St Louis Cardinals who were considered' a better team, but not one to be in a contending position at this stage of the race.
In talkini: to our good friend. Herbert Davenport, that talkative sports authority and barber at the M-Y Barber Shop on Third Street, we learned that the pennant rare in the National will become more mup- dled as the season grow.«. He adds that there is more balance in the National League this roar than there has been in a long time.
In speaking about the many trades that are being made especially by General Manager Frank Lane of the Cardinals. Davenport, lor rather Mr. Herbert, as he advises usl states that one uf the reasons the Cardi-
nals are sending some material to other club» is for the pnpose of the ! other clubs being able to stop the ' Dodgers.
Ht points out that the Cardinals haven't sent players to any of the fust division teams of last season, but have former Cardinal players in such teams as the Chicago Cubs, the Cincinnati Redlegs and the;
j Pittsburg Pirates. “Mr. Herbert" ar- j gues that the Cardinals fee) that d some of the other clubs, can stop I the Dodger«, then they, (the Cardi- j nals) will be in a better position to | win the championship.
| Over in the American League, the | I N Y. Yankees are about to make
i a shambles of the race and will, a« I the experts, predicited, again repeat
as pennant winners. With Mickey j Mantle off fo a fast start and Yogi - Berra going like wildfire in the' home run department, a-solid pitching staff and a pood well balanced 1 team, good defensively and offensive ly ihe Yankees are going to prove to be hard to beat. Only an earth-1
.quake san stop them <
We noticed In the news report that Memphis Bob Boyd, former Memphis lied Sox first baseman and now holding down a berth with the Baltimore Orioles, will be laid up for a month of six weeks while he
lecuperates from a ehlpped bone in his elbow. It seems that the accident happened while he was making a throw from the outfield in an awk-
| ward position. Before the accident. Boyd was fourth in batting in the league with a healthy average. We hope for him a speedy recovery.
By WILBERT E. HEMMINGKINGSTON. JAIMAICA— iANP)
Mayor Balfour Barnswell, Kingston’s 1956 first citizen, know what it was to be coloured and down- and out lot he rose from thesitting stool of a shoemaker to the Mayoralty. .
So at his first public speaking outing. the Mayor took "race segregation in Jamaica” as his theme and thumped’home the view that effort was at. work to introduce it in clubs and groups throughout the 'ountry.
Speaking at the general meeting of the Jamaica Branch of YMCA his worship tipped the roof or Door- ly Memorial Hall by warning: "There is a pernicious practice of egregating people in Jamaica for
lecreationnl purposes into ethnic groups; this practice, breeds hate, bitterness, disillusionment and frustration."
He called up the Young Men’s Christian Association to do what it could to stamp out the ignorance.
Revealing that he had been informed about four new clubs had been formed irt Jamaica because rome old established clubs were refusing to accept members because of the applicants' colored racial origins. Barnswell declared:
These practices are Tin-British. un-Jamaicen and un-Christian and 1 should be very grateful, if in years to come, beginning from the immediate tomorrow, your Association directs its attention to, , and uses its influences in removing from the social «fracture of Jamaica, rudi dangerous planks which seem to have gained very serious proportions as evidenced by lire formation of such clubs."

Another “Man’feslo"The creation of a Civil Rights division under an assistant
attorney general would permit the government to "invade” state ond local governments in matters involving segregation, schools
ond elections was claimed by a .minority report signed by six Democrats and one Republican in protest of stern recommenda-' lions made by President Eisenhower, in a sweeping mandate to strengthen his civil rights program. • •
The four point civil tights bill was approved by ihq Judiciary Committee. '
The administration bill would create a bi-partisan commis- (ion to study civil rights, establish a Civil Rights division in the Justice Department, empower fhe attorney general to bring such cases directly in federal court and strengthen federal laws protecting voting.
Among other*lhings the Southerners took grave exception to what was ’he authority of the attorney general to file civiJL.rights actions :n federal courts without going through stale courts.
Conspicious among the few signers of this latest "manifesto" is Georgia's E. I. Forrester of the Third Congressional District where he will be faced by an outstanding Republican contestant for his
seat.It might be said fhe very objeefionists have had a day in
court to forestall the need of such a commission os the President now suggests; there are those who have sought such remedies recently on the voting front without any aid from the minority report signers.
It is also noticeable that in one Southern state there is currently being set up some sort of a secret informer service, to check on those who file integration suits and to otherwise hamper the machinery of government in effecting the court's desegregation order.

Train Up A Child In The Way It Should Go And When It Is Old It May Not Depart From IIWithin a few short weeks the public schools, colleges and uni
versities will dose their doors which marks the end of the '55-'56 school year. Thousands of students will graduate from junior and senior high schools, colleges, ond universities. Then they are thrown out into life's highway to begin a new experience of fighting life's battle without fhe advice or counsel of teachers and sometimes parents. There seems to be a tendency on the port of many people to underestimate the importance of doing honest' work far an honest day's pay. The present generation of youngsters, ond many older people for thot matter, seem to think that you coni get something for nothing ond they spend their time frying to do just that-get something for nothing. But since Creation we learn from Biblical injunction that man must earn-his bread by the sweat of his face. That means he must work. Our notional government, under the New and Fair Deal regime, both of which sponsored a gigantic give-away program colled wel- fa?k; hps contributed in □ lorge way to the thinking of present day people thot you can get something for nothing. That policy
has done much to build up o group of shiftless ond unconcerned people. In the'good old days people realized that they must earn their bread by the sweat of their brow and they were industrious. They worked, they saved for a rainy day, they mode great strides in progress without the potential help of government.
With the thousands of students that will clutter up our streets within a few doys with nothing to ao because school has adjourned until September, will produce quite a problem. Many of them can find work if they will accept it. Probably not the kind they desire, but students, as well as odults, should realize that all work thot is honest is honorable. You may not be able to get work paying the minimum wage, but you can^find some work and if you prove to your employer that you arc on asset Io his business, it won't lake long for your salary to go up Io the point where it should ond ought to be. If larger boy» from school can’t find the type of work that you want, accept the type you can get if it is hontesf. Thousands of work hours can be mode by cleaning lawns, cutting grass, trimming hedges, and doing other chores around the hquse. Of course to begin with you can't expect pay of $1 00 an hour, but accept what you con gel and do the job well. '
W. B. SHARTZER
The loie Booker T. Washington, (he patron saint of vocation al education in America «aid os he discussed this thing you call work that he made it a practice to be at his place of employment at least twenty minutes before the scheduled hour to stort work and he made it a further practice not to be the first fellow tha' goes out of the gate when the whistle blows for quitting time In that he built up a confidence in those who employed him and soon he was given preferred work which carried with it honor and financial rewards. That is true today. If young men ond women will accept the type of work they cqn get that is honest, do
'It so well that few people can compete wittr them, they will make a way for themse'ves and it will be easy for them to find places of prafermsn) in this great complex drama of life.

CooperativeWASHINGTON, D C-~Veterafts
Administration today announced it soon will conduct one of the first large-scale cooperative projects investigating the value and usuage of the new tranquilizing drugs for mental illness.
Dr. Jesse F. Casey, director ol VA's psychiatry and neurology service in Washington. Dr C-. said the research is expected to provide the answers to many questions not now available to medical science.
The general outline of the re- i search will follow the internationally known VA-Armed Forces stud- i les of the so-called "wonder drugs" for tuberculosis in which the findings over the last 10 years have ; been used by medical science
I
Projectsthroughout the world for the more successful treatment of TB.
The first objective of the tranquilizing drug research. Dr. Casey said, will be to determine the value of the different drugs now; in use for the treatment of mental illness and those that may be introduced in the future.
Once the value of each drug has been established, he said, the next step will be to determine the adequate dosage for different types of patients, how long the drug should be administered, and many
; similar questions.
Dr, Casey said the study will be a carefully planned enterprise in which all participating hospitals
Dr. Casey said participating hospitals will join the project voluntarily. with the understanding It will not prevent individual investigators from conducting research projects of their own.
«Oeneral approval of the cooper
ative project was voted in principal at a meeting of 44 VA hospitals an dsevèn mental hygiene clinics in the VA hospital at Downey, Ill., recently

Because she had promised Jemmy a lovely Christmas she must refrain from open warfare with that autocratic woman downstairs. For Jemmy's sake and for Wade's she must find some way to possess her own soul and still give a pretense ot submission to Amanda Tyler.
fxtra went out on the upstairs vfranda when she heard Wade drive up. She saw him come slowly up the steps and disappear into the house, looking pale and very tired. She flew back along the veranda to her own room and through to the hall, where she could wait for him to mount the stairs. But be did not so much as glance her way when he came up. Instead be went straight to the dbor ot the shuttered front room which had been Virginia's and went in, closing the door behind him.
Dismayed, Lora returned to the warmth of her own fire and curled hcraelf on the hearthrug to think. The problems of the household seemed to loom larger by the moment. It only it were possible to get Wade and Jemmy away from this house, away from the domination ot Amanda Tyler. What chanc» would there ever be for Wade to torget his lost love under this root? There must be remind-
¡er* ot Virginia at every turn, and
remembering could be a sickness Worst <it all there was that closed room at the front of the house— always an invitation and a torment

dered.She sat vary still before the
hearth, listening arith all her senses. But the only sound which came to her was the whinnying and stamping of horses la the stables and the faint, silvery tinkle of Mrs. Tyler s bell, with its everlasting summons of Ellie.
The feeling grew in her that - v Wade blight not to stay in there alone. That wu why she was here —so that he might have someoM^ to turn to in his need..„.She got to her feet and wont softly into the hall
At the door of the room which had been Virginia's, Lora listened, holding her breath. She opened the door quietly and looked into the dim room. Faint light seeped through closed shutters, but here there were no portieres to reduce the room to night. A heavy scent of long-dried rose leaves enveloped her too sweetly in the unaired room.
She could see the bed with Wade lying face down across.it and as she moved toward him the room emerged and made itself known to her. It wu a pretty room, with frilly, feminine touches that boro no trace of Amanda Tyler s severity. Virginia, too. had had her haven of escape. But the scent of rose leaves and the stirring of long-quiet dust as Lora's skirts rustled about her made the air stuffy, and she wanted to get away quickly.
She put her hand upon Wade s shoulder. “Dome, my dear. Come with me. You mustn't stay here."
He turned over and looked at her dazedly, as if grief had somehow confused him and he no lositi er knew who she was
“Please come,” she repeated !r the firm tone She might have used to a child. “I want to talk to you, Wade. I must talk to you But let’s talk in my room, not here.”
A little to her surprise, he sat up and she reached quickly for the crutch beside the bed and gave it to him.* Moving at his own awkward gait, he followed her down the hall to her room. Here she made him comfortable on her wide bed, plumping pillows behind him, pulling off his shoes. When she had covered him with a quilt she went to poke up the fire and add more wood. Then she sat beside him on the bed. holding his scarred left hand as she had done eo often in thqse long days in Pineville when he had hovered between life and death.
•Tell me what ehe was tike,' Lora said softly.
