TuskegeeInstitute RecoverLand In Alabama

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)

—The House Veterans AffairsCommittee last Tuesday favorablyreported a bill authorizing theAdministrator of Veterans Affairst:> reconvey to Tuskegee Institutea tract of land in Maccn County,Alabama.

The land involved in the pro-posed transfer is approximately100 acres within the presentboundaries of the Veterans Ad-ministration hospital reservationat Tuskegee. The hospital is lo-cated on a tract of approximately513 acres which adjoins TuskegeeInstitute.

A portion of the present VAreservation was donated to theUnited States by Tuskegee Insti-tute in 1922. The 100 acres cov-ered by the bill are part of the

land donated. The return of thisland is sought for the purpose ofinstructing. students in occupa-

tional therapy.The tract is unimproved and

densely wooded and in recentyears the VA has used only aboutfourteen acres for a hog rangeand general farm field crops.

The land sought to be trans-ferred has an estimated value of

SSO an acre, or approximately$5,000 for the entire tract. It issurrounded on three sides by

land now owned by Tuskegee In-

stitute, and is more than 1,000

feet distant from the nearest VA

hospital building.

Attend The Church Ot Your Choice SundayD. Julian SpeaksTo An OverflowCrowd

Dr. Percy L. Julian, renownedchemist and civic leader, was theguest speaker at a special meeting

of the Greater Phoenix Council

for Civic Unity on Wednesday

evening, March 28, at 8:00 p.m. inthe Blue-and-Gold Room of Phoe-nix College, Thomas Road and

13th avenue.His subject was “The Image of

Our National Character.” Morethan 300 persons were held spell-bound by the dynamic and infor-mative speech in which the out-standing scientist called attentionto the lag between the theory of

Democracy and the practice ofDemocracy. He directed attentionto the fact that countries all overthe world who have their hope inthe democratic form of governmentare confused by the manner in

which the United States is prac-

ticing this ideology.

He blasted the belief that se-curity of our nation rested only

on the possession of the atomicbomb. He emphasized that freedom

and unity among all people in this

country was necessary. He further

stated, “Any American who todayfails to believe that civic unity is

the key to a free# country is atraitor to his nation. “As a scien-tist,” Dr. Julian said, “I must talkfrankly to my fellow men aboutworld conditions or pretty soonthere won’t be a world to talk

about.”He said that “no other time has

called for greater patriotismcalled for people welded togetherin one faith, one unity.”

“If we share in the commonconcepts of our moral destiny,”

he concluded, “our ideals will bethose for which we would gladlydie.”

The ChristianChurch

By Rev. Marshall L. ShepardFor the NNPA News Service

Among the nation’s outstandinglaymen who have rendered signalservice to the church, state andfellowmen, we salute Dr. John P.Turner, of Philadelphia. He is agood physician, with a large prac-

tice, and it is amazing how he findstime to devote to so many othercauses.

There is hardly a single move-ment for interracial understandingand the improvement of human lifegenerally that has not had his ac-tive support. In Philadelphia hisname is synonymous with civic ad-vancement.

A few days ago, after testifyingin a case in Common Pleas Court,Dr. Turner was called to thebench by Judge Joseph Slcane, whointerrupted the proceedings to paya glowing tribute cn the occasionof Dr. Turners twentieth anniver-sary as a police surgeon for theCity of Philadelphia.

Since 1935 John P. Turner hasserved with distinction as the onlycolored member of Philadelphia’sBoard of Public Education and,

through tact and in his quiet man-ner, he has steadily won his fightto eliminate Jim Crowism from the

city’s school system.

The YMCAknows him as a mem-ber of the citywide Board of Direc-

tors and as a member of the Chris-tian Street Branch Board of Man-agers, and he seldom misses a meet-

ing of that board.His work with the Douglass and

Mercy hospitals is well known and

it was his wisdom, skill and tact

that eventually brought about themerger of those two colored insti-

tutions.Space does not permit me to tell

of his work with colored medicalsocieties on a national ahd state

basis, or of his labors as a trusteeof Cheyney State Teachers College.

What has given him perhaps hisgreatest satisfaction has been the

forty years that he has served as atrustee of Allen A.M.E. Church.

Here, through service and worship,

John P. Turner recognizes his ob-

ligation to Almighty God and ex-presses his gratitude for the bless-ings that God through Jesus Christ

has bestowed upon him and his

family, of whom he is justly proud.May his tribe increase!
