. BY II. E. p.


Outside OF Chattanooga several
weeks ago occurred an automobile
accident In which Marcellus Green,
Erskine Hawkins trumpet man,
lost his life, and several others OF
the bands members were severely
shaken up.
Last week the ODT ordered
that a certain number OF buses be
made available to colored bands
touring the South.
This may have been the result
Of the protests OF the colored
press over the accident, although
II was more likely that the trip
of Walter White Of the NAACP
and Cab Galloway TO Washington
last month was the direct inilu-
ence responsible.
Its swell that the bands got the
buses. and / hope that the COM
mittee headed by Judge Dulaney OF
New York will make every effort
to see that each band gets q fair
break.
But this isn't the answer.
White musicians have never
hesitated 10 listen TO colored bands
and soloists for ideas and inspira-
ton. The music business has al
ways been proud Of the fact that
there was less real prejudice In It's
occupation in the country.
IL seems TO me that It's about
time that that pride were turned
into little concrete action. Some
of the haIr-ralslng stories that have
come out Of the South in the last
six months make you wonder
whether this Is 1S4s. The South
evidently either Is still sleeping In
the pIgpen Of discrimination. OF
else Is run by a bunch Of political
gangsters that should be removed
like lice.
Giving the colored band buses
isn't answering the problem-itf
side-stepping II. While 1t will en-.
able the bands to carry on In a
territory that has always been
their principle source OF livelihood
It also ducks the issue OF Jim Crow
railroads and hotels and every
thing that goes with Is.
Why In heavens name should
men go overseas TO fight for
something they believe In, when
the same thing Is getting cut TO
ribbons here. The answer Is that
either most people Of this conn.
try, who are by now pretty thor
oughly democratic In intent, II
not In method, don't know
what's ge!ng on In the South, or
else they don't understand the
consequences.
Munich taught the world thai
when you give away little her,
and a little there, you eventual,
lose the whole cake. That's what
going on in the South today.
The ODT shouldn't have re
leased those buses-they're needle,
elsewhere for vital defense trans
portation and for troop move
! ments! What It should have don,
