For two score years and more
he who ventured to enter a tourn-
ament to tilt lances with the re-
doubtable Dean Kelly Miller Isl
ally found himself in a contest
which tired his mettle to the ut
termost. This observation is made
before seeking to reply to his re-
cent news release commenting up
on my recent designation BY
Chairman John Hamilton rs one
of the Publicity Directors and
Advisors here at Republican Nat
ional Committee Headquarters.
For more than thirty years |
have enjoyed Dean Miller's warm,
personal and affect onate friend
chip. He is one of the most be-
loved of Howard Un~iversity's
myriad group of Alumni, AMI l,
probably mere affectionately re-
gardod by the nearly 300 gradu-
ates who leave the institution each
year than any individual who has
ever been connected with the ms
titution during the 72 years of its
educational history. He is also be-
loved by countless thousands OF
Others, black and white who adj
wire his scholarship his eloquence
and his many and spirited defen-
e of his race.
He is probably our best known
publicist and polemical writer. His
sword has known no brother
where the vital interests of his
people were %concsrned.
For his kin'ly references to M
personally | make due acknowl-
edgement and express with due
humility, my grateful thanks.
There can be no quarrel between
us, as we clearly and fran'-lv un-
derstand each others portion
with respect to present day po-
litical conditions.
The New Deal challenges Dean
Niller's unr.valed panageries I'M
der all conditions and circum-
stances. None of the abuses, none
of the brutalarian tactics en-
rloyed to humiliate unfortunate
eolored people in the administra-
Won of the NRA, AAA, FSA,
USHA. FILA, Resettlement, The
Wage and Hour Law and other
alphabetical agencies have chal-
lenged, or aroused, his resent
~aent, or criticism.
With all of his high praise, l
cannot accept Dean Miller's die
rum that, while | have remained
loyal to the ideals and traditions
OF the Republican Party "the ma
jority of the most outstanding
and influential members of the
race have been enticed away from
their political mooriing by the al
Turement of the Democratic Par
" and the New Deal"
While it is true that a large
mumber of colored men have been
placed in executive relationship IN
Government agencies, it still re-
mains trues, in my opinion that
snany of these men, as well as
thousand sand thousands of 9th
ers, outside of public office, have
not been slow to recognize the
fact that, despite such dramatic
gestures as have been made, the
race, itself, taken as a whole, &C
tually has remained relatively
outside the limits of New Deal

processes.
Whatever small gains have been
made, have been more than over
balanc sv-amee as it were, b.
the If Of m nistretion
Tho Second National Confer
ence on the Pre- lNe.s Of he Neg
70 and Negro You'll unsparingly
called attention t. glaring discri
limitations and mi ehieyous ten
denotes in the administration Of
most of these agencies.
In the case of one of them the
Conference noted a tendency to
use Federal funds for purposes OF
fixing residential patterns accord
ing to local p@ejudiees, thereby
establishing segregated e and
racial ghettos, reference be-
ing made to the Federal Housing
Administration. Many similar
instances of Caring di-crimina-
ton were pointed out. Particular
~, failure to appoint colored men
to positions in administrative and
policy-making bodies, where the
greatest influence and wisdom
are most necessary to safeguard
minority rights.
There has been no effort made
to integrate Negroes into private
industry. Tine great masses of
,olorea people still remain ami
LETTERS" or deoles." In the field
Il Relief Administration, the Sec
nj Conference on Negro Prob
lens pointed out tina. "experi.
.acc" has shown that Relief Adj
illustrators in many states and
municipalities either lack sympa-
thetic understanding of the proc
Ions of minority groups, Or are
fesirous of preventing Negroes
from eouitably sharing the bene-
fits of relief programs"
I cannot bring myself to believe
that Dean Miller, in his fulsome
praise of New Deal activities, Is
in agreement with these discrim-
inatory techniques.
I need not point out, of course
the most recent discriminatory
action of the Secretary of War in
refusing to set aside, sums of
money TO be made available that
Negro Youth may take its proper
place in the various armed SER
vices of the Government, at a time
when the menace of war may be
all but Intending. Discrimina-
ton and segregation OF Negro
citizens in the armed forces OF the
Government are still rampant.
Allurements of New Deal
Dean Miller places great reli-
ance upon the "allurements" OF
the New Deal. Probably u fund
amental difference Is that l be-
lieve in the saving grace o. the
sanity of Negro Americans n
that they are subject to the same
educational processes of demo-
cratic government as other citi-
ems of the Republic.
In their evaluation of so-caleo
New Deal benefits" | belleve
Negro Americans r cultivatlng
a long range vision and that they
are Just as much opposed to cen
tralized administrative machinery

ernment provides only merger re-
lief that barely hold bedy and
soul together. "Nsw comes the
Labor Union Movement, under
the National Labos Relat ons Aes.
which gives forty-oae percent Of
the workers in a given plant the
right to form a union, which b.
comes the sole bargaini agency
fsr all the workers in said plant.
Mot Of the labor unions have the
colo, bar and discriminatory pra-
eficei against Negroes. The clos
ed shop agreement with employ
ers is causing the wholesale re-
placement of Negroes on practi-
eally all jobs, including railroad,
oo.ton industries, cafes and hotels
in all sections of the country.
81 find that in Government I'M
nlovmont, even at Washington,
Negroes are being replaced as
m passengers, elevators operators
ianitors, etc. Aside from dole jobs
(WPA). about the biggest thing
Negro Dealers are doing for Ne
gro employment is the hiring Oh
some few Negroes in strategic
positions to travel over the coun-
try and picture Utopias to the
working class of Negroes, If they
will only continue to be loyal TO
tho New Deal.
az am thoroughly convinced
that the great majority of Ne
proes even in the North, are dis
eusted with such promises which
they failed to materialize. They
are realiz, ng that industrial con-
ditions are going from bad to
worse"
With these words from a promi-
nent newspaper that helped elect
the New Deal and from a leader
of better labor conditions ringing
in their ears, it rather occurs to
me to say that thoughtful Color
ed Americans will keep in mind
these structures, and will in my
opinion want to find their way
back to a party Of which it NAV
be said, that, at least it has al
ways stood for the basis principle
of American democracy; and that
not a single discriminatory, re-
pressive or DISTINGUISHING law;
not a single jim-crow; not a sin
gle peonage law; not a single
Government regulation setting up
regional Wage dTferentials, has
ever been passed by any stat
dominated by Republican public
opinion, or by any Republican ad
ministration at Washington.
These things of which Tn
Courier and NJ. Rice complain
arc of importance to us. They can
not be condoned, overlooked, or
forgotten. Our first concern must
ever be for the preservation of
the basis guarantees of our civil
equality before the law, and our
right to fair consideration in al
the pursuits of happiness.
1t must still remain for the
great masses of colored voters t.
decide by the ivrotes whether the
guarantees written into the Fed
eral Constitution by he Repub-
lical Party shall be preserved by
that party or whether will sup
port that ancient opposition
sought to abregate and destroy
them.
In all l have written, it is as a
citizen of the Republic, deeply
and seriously concerned with its
institutions, and wish its Nation
al economy preserved, and its
aesting along progressive lines as
sured, for what concerns the flu
ture of other Americans is OF
deep concern to them also.

and. Mrs. Marshall points out, her
own tax should have been reduced
correspondingly. The tax against
her former husband, however, has
not been collected, according to the
petitioner, and the collector of in
ternal revenue has refused to grant
a refund to the wife. The Court of
Claims upheld this decision, declar-
ing that the petitioner vas not en-
titled to recover because her earn
ings, in view of the agreement,
never became community property.
"The sole issue now presented"
the court is told, "is whether hus-
band and wife, domiciled in Cali

tory arrangement whereby they can
effectively shift Federal income tax
liability for receipt of community
income"
