Th thre representative wer Dr. William H. Jemsgin of th Baptist church) Bishop John A. Cregj. A ME. and Bishop W. J. Walls, AMEZ. Their presence in the war rones was considered an important fac tnr in bolstering the morale of colored fighting men at a time when these servicemen were reporting undemocratic practices by all branches of the service. ACCORDING TO the Fraternal Council's scheme of rotation, Rev. Lucas said, the Central Jurisdiction of the Methodist church, or the CME church, will be entitled to recognition in case only one person is sent to the Korean front .

Its legal staff to 9. Car olina, to other southern state, even abroid to champion the right of our minority group, but has r-mnined stnngcly silent, has maintained s'rict neutrality In the Wiiberforce situation. Per hap it can explain Its fallur to take action m this ease." OHIO'S COVEBNOR Frank I. Lausche, in vetoing th bill set ting up Central State College and which was subsequently pas- ;cd over his head by the Leg- islature, had charged that the state is setting ur a Jim Crow institution. Dr. Hill's questioning of the NAACP is based upon this segregation charge. The Governor, however, came in for high praise from the Wil- l)erforce president. Among other things, he said: "In the first instance. I feel that it has taken much courage for His Excellency to say what he has said in his veto message to th legislature. But the pos session cf coinage and moral principles is the earmark of true statesmanship. His Excellency has manifested bo'h of theiw virtues to an unprecedented degree In politics in the State of Ohio. "Such courageous action as His Excellency has manifested, lifts him even higher above the political opportunism and demagog, cry so characteristic of th average cheap politician of the weath- forts over a period of two years have failed to make a dent In discriminatory hiring policy of the city's transportation system, will take it's case before the city commission, which recently granted the City Railway C'oni-viny a far" raise from seven and one-seventh cents tn ten cents. The straight ten-cent fare does not become effective until June 15, and City Railway must meet certain conditions outlined by the commission to justify the increase. The NAACP labor committee, arrorriingto present plans, will petition the city commission to rescind the fare increase on grounds that the transportation company refuses to hire N'Jgroes and that it's standard of service in the Neurn area is below that in n'.her sections of the city.
