dissension by the Republicans. The
Republicans will. certainly, make as
much capital out Of 1t as they can
1t offers them the only hope of de-
flecting part of the labor vote away
from the President. The farmers are
slipping back in large numbers into
Republican ranks. And the Negroes
are extremely important.
May Hold Balance Of Power.
In the States where they are per-
mitted to vote both Republicans and
Democrats are making great bid
for them. In certain States with
large Negro populations-New York
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois
and the border States of Kentucky
and Tennessee-their vote in a close
election may hold the balance of
power. The Negro vote can, con-
ceivably, elect or defeat President
And nowhere is the cynicism which
permeates our public life more appar-
ent than in the scramble for the votes
Of these people.
The reason is obvious: The Solid
South is the Democrat stronghold,
and pro-Negro policy on the part
Of the administration is the one thing
that would most quickly break down
the traditional Democratic allegiance.
Southern Negroes have no votes, and
are politically worthless.
Relief Rolls Loaded.
But in the North. the situation Is
different. Here the Negro vote, which
has traditionally been Republican, part
ly because Of memories of the Civil
War, but also because the Republicans
paid more for it, has gone largely
Democratic because the Democrats are
able for the first time to compete
not with cash at the polls but with
relief and w. P. A. jobs on the same
terms as are offered to whites. The
relief rolls are loaded with Negroes, a
fact which has been the basis of
much caustic comment by those who
are fond of explaining that the rela-
tive preponderance Of Negroes proves
that they are congenitally lazy, un-
thrifty and quickest to let the State
care for them.
The Interpretation does the Negroes
an injustice and reveals ignorance of
the facts about Negro employment in
the North. Since Americas gates have
been closed to the immigration of
cheap labor from Eastern Europe. the
great atreservoir of 10000 900 Southern
Negroes has been tapped by Northern
industry whenever it needed cheap
labor to combat trade unionism or any
labor to handle peak production. AS
in the 90s agents travelled Eastern Eu-
rope and the Balkans rounding up
workers for American mines and mills,
with promises of gold to be picked in
the streets, so in the last decades, and
especially during the war and post
war booms, similar agents drew upon
the plantations of the South. They
went into rural agricultural areas
where Negroes lived on the land or in
villages closely attached to the land.
and where at an extremely low stand
ard of living they, nevertheless. had a
degree Of contentment and security,
and enticed them to the North, away
from the only occupations for which
they had been trained, by promises of
high wages.

CONCESSIONS DEAL
FOR PARK WEIGHED
Negotiations May Be Undertaken
for Building in Shenandoah
Area,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A G. Demaray, associate director
of the National Parks Service, said
yesterday the service was considering
possible methods for negotiating for
concessions in the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park.
Bids for the concessions have been
invited twice and a single bid sub
mitted on each occasion rejected. The
last rejection was announced by the
Secretary of the Interior Saturday.
Demaray said it had not been de-
cided whether new negotiations would
be through public Reimbursement for
bids or through direct negotiations
between the Park Service and some
individual or group of individuals"
The associate director said he did
not know of any present plan whereby
the Federal Government would con-
struct camps or other concessions in
the area.
The Resettlement Administration
now is building housing projects on
the outskirts of the park for people
who formerly lived in the area.

pv tne Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, August 11.-Glern
L. Martin, whose airplane company
built the giant clipper ships now flying
mail over the Pacific, believes planes
five times as large will be built in the
near future.
Martin predicted 125-ton airliners
would be in use, probably in a decade.
"As far as concerns weight distribu-
ton and ability to fly, sea boats of
125 tons are perfectly feasible" he
said.
The manufacturer said such ships
probably would carry several hundred
passengers.

She felt her cheeks burn and her eyes smart. After all, if she wanted to walk out on her wedding, 1t wasn't the whole ships business. She be- came defiant and threw the quoits 50 expertly she won the set.
 She wondered what the people would do if she should suddenly announce that she was sorry she had run away, that she loved Bob and Bob loved lots of people?

 The young man, whose name was Philip Kirkby, drew up . chair and chatted with her at tea- time. He was an electrical engi- neer, just back from the Pampas where he had been assisting in 6 bridge construction job. He was big, not handsome, but well-built, His hair was rough and dark and his eyes were strikingly blue against the Drowned face. When she looked away, Marcia tried to imagine that 1t was Bob who sat near her-Bob whose hair was dark also and whose eyes were blue-Bob who would have cov- cred her hand with his, and made ceremony of dropping Jumps of sugar into tea-cups-Bob whom she had left waiting for her in a room all sweet with palms and flowers and music.

when criminals hid in dark alleys or skulked in dark baseEnelits. The day of the mask andthe dark lan- tern is over. Crime lives next door to you. Crime often plays bridge with you. Crime dances with your sons and daughters. These persons of the under-filth are not simply poor boys and girls or moral inc valids, as the super-sentimentai- ists would have us believe. They are narauders, who murder for a headline, rats crawling from their hideouts to gnaw at the vitalS of civilization. True, they are dressed as we are dressed they live as we live and often far better, owing to the rich rewards of their profess sion, but their standards of life are those of pigs in . wallow, their outlook that of viltures."

 In addition to the 12,6l0 finger prints of men and women who are viewed by the Bureau of 1nvesti- gation as the most dangerous and deadly of the army of more than 100000 persons whose finger print fecors are clear and who are and will continue to be, in ell likelihood, law-abidin6 citizens.

 Marcia laughed lightly as she went from one pair of arms to an- other. She knew that the men were giving her appraising looks. She was heartless in their eyesl She had left one of their kind at the altar or almost at the altar. She had in- suited their sex. They wanted to punish her, but they wanted to kiss her first.

 There were acres and acres in which to stroll on the deck. There were squash courts and there was a swimming pool; there were lounges and salons, and the sun shone on bright blue water ell the way. More than once, Marcia thought that she might forget in time. More than once she reminded herself that she couldn't forget that people couldn't run away from anyone who had set up Q residence in their hearts.

 They sat in their chairs, watch- ing the rain play darSly on the water save when the lightning made quick green path through the sky. They were comfortable.
 "Camilla?" Marcia took tip the theme. V
 "The girl I've loved since I knew that women had other purposes than having their hair pulled and interrputing games. I've proposed regularly and been given hope.

 "And if it's true"
 "Ill drop out again. I'm due back in the Pampas in September anyway.
 Suddenly Marcia wished that she was due somewhere, anywhere.

"&aW.nbi0ing citizens are be- Kiuning to realize that fingerprint- Ing may mean death to a criminal,
 hut that it also may mean life and liberty to an innocent man, wo- man or child" said an assistant to The director of the bureau.
 "A tourist losing his passport in Q foreign country could more rap- adly obtain . duplicate if his fin- aerprints were on file in Washing ton. Every police station has kingeTprinting equipment, and this tCAn be done in Q matter of nlin- kttes. As soon aS they are checked nt headquarters c new passport scculd be issued without further eielay."
 N Other Advantages Claimed
 This is not the only advantage &of fingerprint registration for law- nbiding citizens, 1t is pointed out. V If there were sufficient demand by the public, fingerprints could Mbe made at home and forwarded to headquarters, but 1t would be Ear easier to file the fingerprints nhortly after the birth certificates and thereby, in thousands of in. HtanCes, prevent crime rather than eietect it, officials argue. Human beings, many of them at least, would think twice before commit ting a crime if they knew that their fingerprints were on file ct sEeadquarters" and that their aconviction and punishment would sbe swift.
