CAPITOL COMMENT

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
And great was the rejoicing there
of-when the Presidents terSe
curt message to industry and labor
belaboring them for their niggard-
ly attitude towards Negroes was
published. Lay On Macduff!
The rains came to Washington
over the wee-end and washed out
whatever pleasure there may have
been in store for the village on the
Potomac.
Talking with Bishop Lorenzo
King in the Union station
Sunday night. 1t has been
some time since we had seen
each other and there was bit
of difficulty in mutual recOgni-
tions. But the bishop looks
fine and was pleased at the out
look thus far. He had been in
town to deliver the baccalau-
reate sermon for Miner Teach
er's college. And went back to
Atlanta that night. Nice see
ing the bishop again.

conceded that Negroes are quite per-
ficient in the welding of such edged
instruments as the razor and knife
and even ice picks. In sheer Self-de
fenSe antagonists in the dark would
have to be rather expert in their
observations if a defense against
cutting is to be had. Is it possible
that by watching in the dark for the
flash of razor or knife the Negro
has become practiced in the art of
seeing in the dark? 1t takes a mighty
careful observer to see dark edged
metal in the hands of a dark man
on dark night in the darktown Sec
tions of our cities. Here, Darwin
would say, natural selection stepped
in; all the careless observers would
be killed off and only those of the
keenest eyeSight would survive. In
other words seeing in the dark
would here have survival value.
LOOK OUT HITLER
Then again it has been said of old
that Negroes are wont to prowl at
night in search of certain domestic
fowl. 1t would not be advisable to
carry a light on such risky mission
and therefore search must be made
in the dark. Is it possible that con-
slant peeping in the dark would re-
suit in highly specialized visual
pOWerS? These are some of the
explanations that will be advanced
by our pseudo-scientiStS. If the Ne
gro with this superior night vision
distinguishes himself in this war it
is quite possible that some of his
speculation may receive modern"
names. For example, instead of be-
ing as chicken thief he will be fowl
cleptomaniac; instead of murderer
his efforts along this line will be
called homicide and his devilment
will become delinquency. Seeing bet
ter in the dark! Look out Hitler!

MARCH ON WASHINGTON

There is some difference of op-
inion as to the ultimate effect of
the proposed and slated July 1
March on Washington" by repres-
entatives of the Negro race. Many
believe that is some quarters the
majority group will become confuS-
ed and take the march as a soft
mass rebellion and outright violent
expression of discomfort from a
group which for SO long has re-
manned docile to every treatment
Then there are those who see a

BETWEEN THE LINES

OF defense preparations. When it is
generally known that Negroes can
see better in the dark and when it
is further found that effective air
combat is largely a matter of dark
ness, than the possibility of the Ne
gro is air fighting looms large. For
uncle Sam to have at his command
a few hundred thousand black men
WIN superior sight in darkness
should be margin of advantage
that cannot be gainsaid 1t is quite
conceivable that even So slight an
advantage may turn the scales of
war when the powers are evenly
matched as at present.
And Negroes can see better in the
dark! Just suppose that Negroes are
lnducted in large numbers into the
air forces of our nation: and sup
pose our air forces in the final ana
lyS1S become the deciding factor in
the victory we must achieve; and
further suppose the difference be-
tween victory and defeat becomes
largely one of seeing better in the
dark. then the Negro should come
IN for lot of "hero- -ization" sooner
or later.
NEED AN EXPLANATION
II it is really true that Negroes
see better than whites in the dark,
there must be found some explana-
ton for this phenomenal discovery.
We must of course advance some
theories and hypotheses. What about
the fact that Negroes live in the
darkest homes and in the darkest
parts of the cities and in the rural
OF the urban centers? Could it be
centers far removed from the lights
that the hard working Negro is
forced to do his Socializing after
dark when he must peep and peer
his way through darkness to find
his rendezvous?
Another theory: It is everywhere
