most impossible to run off the title
round without untoward incident.
Hence, today Lou Hayman is the
towns new heavyweight champion
without so much as lifting a glove.
He was on the premises last night,
spelling for fight and boiled down
to his best brawling weight Of 1872
pounds, when word was received that
Joe Mclaughlin, the Prince Georges
heavy whose 23-second kayo Of Bill
Barber a couple of weeks ago
stamped him as one of the most
promising newcomers on the f1stic
scene, was confined to bed Ill of in
fluenza.
Hayman, visibly and almost Bit
terly, was disappointed.
II don't want the title handed to
me on a silver platter" he COM
planned. II want to win 1t in the ring
I'll fight him any place and any
time when he has recovered"
Denies Runout by Mclaughlin.
Reports Immediately were circu-
lated that Mclaughlin had taken a
powder" but this was emphatically
denied by his manager, "Buzzer"
Ryan. who said: IF Hayman wants
to fight Mclaughlin when he's over
this he can have the match any
time. We don't want him to have
any doubt about which is the better
man"
Chairman Billy Blake Of the
A. A. U. Boxing Committee said
McLaughlin's illness was not re-
ported until 5 o'clock yesterday
Afternoon and that . thorough in
vestigation would be made. If Nc
Laughlin were found guilty Of q

NEGROES ARE TOGETHER

1t has been brought to our attention that efforts
are being made to divide the Negro ctizenry on GER
tain basic issues and to disrupt the great unity which
has been won particularly in the fight for justice
in the Sojourner Truth controversy. This is the
traditional trick of the archenemy, divide and rule
dissipate and conquer. We know that no such pro-
gram will succeed in diverting the masses of our
citizens from the fulfillment of their democratic
hopes of real equality of citizenship in native
land. -
Attempts have already been made to smear our
legitimate struggles by declaring that they in
spired by the Japanese or the Nazis. This treach-
erous argument has been given the lie because it
is becoming increasingly clear that Negro people
want total war against dictatorship and tyranny on
all fronts in order to bring freedom to Georgia and
Germany alike. We know too that this war for DEM
ocracy can be lost here as well as abroad and we
demand victory everywhere, and we shall not com
promise on questionable peace with the forces of
fascism.
We have achieved unity in our own small COM
munty around our general fight against fascist
forces here, and no individual Negro or no little
group of Negroes dare seek to undermine this unity
The fight for Negro occupancy of Sojourner Truth
Homes is peoples fight, and the people are deter
mined that the Nazi opposition shall not override
the rights and privileges of our citizenship. We
shall not hesitate to attack, denounce and damn all
forces which at work to confuse the basic issue

And snarls through a u2nt-lipped

While the foul breath OF a living

Permeates his darkened cell, s.s
Through iron bars he sszes at stars,
And curses humanity's hell.
No man knows the grief and woes
That engulf the convicts mind.
AS like a slave in living grave
He waits for father time.
To bring him peace. upon release,
From mental agitation,
He spends endless days devising
ways
OF rehabilitations.
He knows that no more will q prison

When the human brain cracks under

MORE RACISM

It is great misfortune that at this crucial
point in current history when the national eXis-
tence hinges on the united will of all citizens toward
single all-consuming objective that of winning the
war, there are many forces at work to divert
this unity and to confuse the American mind on the
delicate issue of race. We have had occasion before
In these columns to denounce the rabid racists who
do not tire of emphasizing the supposed and real
differences between racial groups in order to prove
theory of doubtful value in times of peace and OF
no value at all in time of war.
1t should be clear to everyone that the factor of
race is important in this war because, IN the first
place. Adolf Hitler has made it So His lnsistence
upon the excellence of German blood which served
to inspire hate in the German breast for the slave
peoples" of the earth, which includes all who are
not German, is dangerous doctrine as terrible as
the war it caused. These racial myths must be
destroyed for the sake of human freedom, and yet
in America there are those who are guilty of re-
vivng these myths and of falling in the trap set by
Dr. Goebbels and Nazi pseudo-science. The race
issue is Hitler's secret weapon with which he hopes
to conquer world of divided fools
Hatred against the Negro and the Jew repre-
sents the first stage in Hitlers psychological war
against America Prejudices against both groups
have been part of the American tradition and to
activate the majority group against them IS not
difficult task The Jewish people have had to suffer
the stigma of Shylock, and we as race have been
libeled as rapists, as sub-human. Our whole group
is damned for the action of any member thereof and
so too with the Jew.
Last week in the Saturday Evening Post, Milton
Mayer wrote up the Case Against the Jew" which
despite any good motive it might have had, will
Enthusiastically result in real damage to national
unity at this hour The article accepts the libel
against the Jewish people and seeks to advise Jewry
to atone for their sins. 1t as if Negro took
as a fact the charges that have been made against
his people and thereupon argued that we must be-
ware of the future. Indeed, we shudder to think of
such an article entitled the Case Against the Negro.
The Saturday Evening Post has fallen for the
Hitler trick and found Jew to do dis-servlce to
his own people. In the light of the-reaetion which
must inevitably result from this treacherous tech
nique of tanning the embers of racism today, the
publishers of the Post have done injury to the
national interests To focus public attention upon
the popular congratulations about minority groups
and to treat these sweeping concentrations as facts
can but help accentuate the divsive influences al
ready feverishly at work in our war-torn society.
