Detroit Girl Tells
OF Abuse

A graphic story of some of the
fragrant race discrimination and
abuse to which so many colored
people are subjected in the far
South, was related to a Tribune
representative Wednesday by Miss
Beatrice Porter, 425 Columbia.
Miss Porter, who has just return
ed to Detroit, after a three-week's
visit with relatives in Vicksburg.
Miss. states that in certain parts
Of the Delta region, she personal
ly saw white planters whip Negro
farm hands numerically and sprin-
kle salt on their bleeding bodies,
because they failed to pick the re-
quired $50 pounds of cotton each
day.
The Detroit girl made the trip
to Mississippi by train, but return
ed on the Greyhound Bus. She re-
ports that when her bus reached
Memphis, it crossed over into Ark
ansas at 9 o'clock last Sunday
night, at which time a group of
white farm hands boarded the bus
and the driver cursed the colored
passengers and forced them to give
their seats to the white passengers.
Miss Porter says she and the other
colored had to ride standing, with
out the aid of straps, for one hun
dred miles, until they arrived at
Willerton, Mo.
When she attempted to protest,
Miss Porter told the Tribune that
another colored woman on the bus,
placed her hand over her mouth
and begged her to remain silent,
saying that the dead bodies of Ne
gro bus passengers were often
found along the highway, evident
ly having been killed for protest
ing against mistreatment
Miss Porter warns colored citi-
zens, who plan trips into the South,
against patronizing bus lines on
which Negro passengers experience
so much discrimination and abuse.

surmiSe Is utterly wrong. Senator
Borah will never support the New
Deal. Conceivably, in case of an
outcome of the Republican convention
seriously unsatisfactory to him. Sena-
tor Borah might retire from public life.
But Senator Borah will never give
active help 10 the New Deal. He
Is one of comparatively few persons
who fully understand what the New
Deal is. The difference between black
and white Is not greater than the
difference between Mr.. Borah and the
fundamental philosophy of the New
Deal. In the whole world Of political
thought, there is no greater contrast
than that between Senator Borah's
conviction about individual freedom
and the New Deal philosophy Of the
authoritarian state. In the whole
world of economics there is no con-
trast greater than that between Sena-
tor Borah's resistance to monopoly
and the New Deal principle of Gov
ernment- -fostered and Government
regulated or Government owned
monopoly.
Senator Borah's appalled, horror
about the New Deals fundamental
philosophy and his affection for the
American tradition make 1t quite i'm
possible that he should help to keep
the New Deal in power.
Might Leave Public Life.
Conceivably, II the Republican con-
vention nominates a candidate who,
in Senator Borah's judgment, does
not meet the need, and who Senator
Borah feels cannot win, in such event
Senator Borah might consider that
the fight to save America is hopeless,
and he might retire to end his unique
career in somber unhappiness. But
he will never support the New Deal
or help re-elect Mr.. Roosevelt.
Until the Republican convention
meets and acts. Senator Borah will
certainly continue active and continue
to try to carry the party in the di-
rection he thinks it should 60. Com
mon judgment says that the Ohio
result makes it impossible for Senator
Borah to win the presidential nomina-
ton for himself. and newspaper sur
mise implies that the Senator and
his friends know this. Probably this
Is correct.
Accepting this assumption, there is
much interest in what Senator Borah
will do with respect to other candi-
, dates for the presidential nomination.
