ton, marked discrimination in dis
tribution Of public benefits, eco
nomic exploitation amounting
sometimes to peonage and practi-
cal slavery, and inadequate legal
protection, all supported by a caste

that democracy stands for"
Such were the words of r. B.
Eleazer, member of the Commits
sion on Interracial Cooperation, in
his address Friday to a group at
Emory University.
The nation falls short Of the
goal of real democracy when mea-
sured by the standard of justice

clared.
This is especially true when the
treatment of the Negro is consid-
cred, he continued.
Genuine concern for the welfare
of the Negro, he observed, ''far
from violating the traditions of the

Byrnes Is
Favored
As Judge
Negro South
Carolinians Say
He's All Right

GREENVIIL4E, S. Ca N P)-
Greenville Negroes are not going
to aid any movements TO fight the
rtunored appointment Of Sen.
James Byrnes to the supreme
court, a local survey revealed this
week.
Byrnes has bsen the opponent
of much pro-Negro legislation but
Carolina colored folk seem to favor
him for the prospective appoint
ment to the supreme court.
The Senator is unique III South
Carolina politics, a state where
most candidates must "ride into
office on the back of the Negro" j."
In a state that has sent more race
baiters" to congress than any other,
ByrneS is a rara avis.
In his younger days as a solicitor
and old resident declared, ne eS-
tablished a precedent by insisting
that all cOlOred witnesses be treat
ed with consideration. His cam
paigns for congress we're conducted
on a high plane. Never as a candi-
date did he raise the color question
His avoidance of the race queS-
ton caused one of his opponents
to charge him with being a NEGRO
lover" a term that usually spells
defeat for any Carolina candidate.
Some years ago, when a con-
gresham, Byrnes tried to block an
appropriation for Howard universe
ty. He took the position that if the
government was going to spend
money for Negro education it
could be better spent in his own
state, where the need was greater
Another old Greenville resident
said, "He never kissed us on the
cheek, but he never bit us IN the
back We amt mad with Mr..

the work of a master by any defi-

over o. period of thirty years he
produced 35 self-portrait etchingS.
Several of these are included III
this exhibit,
Tn his religious subjects the
artist did some of his most i'm

them often, sometimes making
study sketches for groups or in

Addresses N.A.A.C.P.

An ADDRESS given by Rev. E. l.
Rlddley, to waiting congregation
of members Of the NAACP men,
bers and visitors Sunday afternoon
at the Tanner Chapel AME church,
there was plenty of food for
thought. One of his thoughts
brought to our mind was an old
maxim with modern meaning: I'VE
will have to root pig or die "
We could see In this statement a
wonderful meaning Let US ask
ourselves this question, Are we
willing to root? If SO. what are we
waiting on? The time is now ripe,
let us be on our way
President Brown i'll commenting
on this address, stated that there
was time when ''Sam" was asleep

awaken him because of sympathy
Those days are gone and in good
many cases, Sam is still asleep :"
AS 10 unity ne is asleep, as to CO.
opera tion he is asleep also / speak

He also asked the question: Are
we different from people of other
cities? I will answer according, to
my way of seeing things: 1--WE are"
Owing to the facts there are 5000
Negroes in Phoenix, and nearly
11,OO0 in Maricopa County. And if
we were not different from the peo-
pie in other cities we would at
least have something for ourselves
in Phoenix. We would have one or
