closed port safely despite the dam

She was the fourth U. S. naval

DAMAGE HIDDEN
just what the damage to tn
Salinas was, the navy said it would
not reveal because it would be of
no value except to the NaZis.
The navy announcement was made
just 10 hours after the department
had revealed officially that of the
Reuben James crew of l42 officers
and men, two definitely we're known
to have been killed and 95 others
were missing and presumed lost.
If the death toll is 81. it will be
the greatest single American naval
vessel disaster since the U. S. ).
Maine blew up in the harbor OF
Havana, Cuba, with a loss of 260
men and precipitated the Spanish
American war.
The Salinas is one of the navy5
largest auxiliary units. She has a
capacity of 11,145 tons of oil and
was travelling in convoy when at
tackled. Presumably the Salinas was
carrying oil for either the United
States Atlantic patrol or for the
American base in Iceland. Ther"
never has been any indication that
American naval vessels are operat-
ing east of Iceland to Great Brit
ain.

CALLING NEGROES

The one thing the Negro of NIL
classes do not like IL 10 be called
names. The usc of the words "darky."
''plckaninny" ms was applied 10 a
group of Negro babies appearing In n
recent issue OF Life Magazine. and
other imprlntable terms when de-
scrIbing the Negroes OF the United
Statcs or the world, should be discon-
tinued
For example. they do not like being
called George" Instead of by their
real name; or 'auntie" instead OF
"Miss" or "Mre": or boy" when
service is demanded and worst OF nIl
liz the south's refusal 10 call Negro
men "Mr". the common title given In
the English language 10 all males
above 81 years OF age
while In the south. the title OF
mfr" seems TO denote gentleman /;
and according to southern ideas. n
Negro, can never be gentleman, IL
does seem rather silly and ignoran.
for us TO be narrow on such interna.
tionni standards OF common English
usage One cannot help but under
stnnd how minds no restricted could
not help but allow section OF the
south as large an South Carolina 40
to waste In erosion. or drive away
from its land the strongest and most
manly OF It's human resources.
Somehow we who live In the south
must be taught that there are more
important things upon which to con-
centrate our energies than the most
inappropriate name TO address Negro
citizens
The future outlook., 1941-11-29

the present realignment offers him
little or nothing. from the economic
viewpoint How the Negro Is TO earn
a livelihood which will llft his stand

question which defense industry has
not yet answered" And We might

present lack OF place by the Negro
In the Industrial life OF the south
again, the question: What can, be
done to ut the Negro more securely
In the new SOUTH Along with many
suggestions that could be made, the
following should be considered
They are:
First, full information should be
given on the real economic situation
In the south regardless OF our feelings
In the matter. One fact should be de-
finltely shown that the segregated
status OF the races In the south is
economically wasteful and that any
dcbased group such az the Negro is
today tends 10 force the standard OF
living down for all groups.
Second, Negro leadership should
face tho facts that the real difference
between groups liz economic, and not
personal or historical. Their approach
to the problem ahould be considered
with that In mind.
And finally, n nntiona! program OF
education which includes specialized
information about cooperative bust
ness management, and the technical
akills should be made possible for all
Negroes. And as fast as Negroes BE-
come prepared, southern whites and
Negroes alike should use every means
at their command TO sce that the
proper proportion of Negroes entered
all types OF American industry as en-
ployecs, managers and owners Dis
crimination just must be eliminated.
