said, should take down the. cross

NV dear Mr.. MITCHELL
Prompted by personal regard for
you as a man, brother and friend, L
am sending you these few lines TO
congratulate you on the manly posl
ton you have taken on all questions
and issues affecting our race: eco
nomically, financially, politically,
religiously and what not during the
past year; and to cheer you as you
enter into the tolls and cares or
another year; to ASSURE you amid
your noble journalistic career and
sledge-hammer blows it has been
YOUR wont to make in defense or
Justice and fair play by and for the
Negro for many years, you have
some friends who appreciate your
loyal unstinted service you have rem
dered humanity, in general and the
Negro Race in particular, in the past
and in the present. -
I have watched your career for
more than a quarter OF century
and I find you are the same Fearless
aggressive defender of human rights
and the Good WHIP doctrine today
as you were back in the hoary past
when conditions were more troub-
lous for us all than what they are
today. Though your locks may be
turning white; your step uncertain;
your form quivering, you still have
the snap and fire of youth, the pow
er of a veteran analyst and writer
and the distinction of being hero
in your chosen field of operation
and I'fe's work.
My prayer is that you may be

The last player to tee-off, he was
the last to report his score and was
only given an outside chance OF
getting under Miller B. STEVENSON
IS when it was larned that the
Naval officer consumed 80 strokes
on the outward trip.
Couriers who venturej onto the
course. returned with the amazing
information that Commander Pol
lard was cracking par by a wide
margin and putting like demon.
They brought back the news that
Pollard scored 8, 3. 4, 3, 3. for the
first five holes and someone said
"Give him the medal"
II think / have a S3" naively
remarked Commander Pollard when
his buddies, Lieut.. Comdr. w. 5.
Popham, Lieut.. Comdr. Jack Lynes
and Lieut.. F. S. Holmes. inquired
as to his score for the last nins
after Pollard had gathered a diff
cult par on the eighteenth with
