speak with SO much authority about
what they want.
What makes a good" Negro?
What would a black man IN Georgia
have to do for his actions in the
eyes of Mr.. Talnadge to become
'foolish?' These are two questions
over which there is q difference OF
opinion between those who believe
that the benefits of democracy
should be extended to all citizens,
irregardleSs of race, and those who
believe as does Mr.. Talmadge.
One gathers to be good Me-
gro'' in MIR. Talmadge's sight, one
must believe as does Georgia S
governor that '"rhe Negro teacher
is not entitled to the same pay as
white teacher in Georgia. Their
living expenses are not nearly equal
to those of the white teacher"
HOW TO ACT FOOLISH
And to "act foolish one whose
face is black must presume that
he could ever be accorded equal
Justice, equal economic opportunity,
equal educational opportunity and
equal political recognition III
Georgia.
IF that be true, you can thank
God that there are some bad Me-
groes in Georgia like William II.
Reeves, who are not the least per-
turbed over Governor Talmadge's
charge that they are acting foolish"
in their efforts TO achieve some
of the democracy for which so many
OF their color will soon be giving
their lives.
The pity of it is that there are
all too few bad Negroes" and far
too many good Negroes" III the
state of Georgia.
The tragedy OF it is that Cover
nor Talmadge's sense of proportion
is so faulty that he would waste
valuable time resisting the efforts OF
loyal black citizens to share in
this American democracy, while
the REAL enemies of democracy
are Storming the very gates Of
the citadel.
And il these feeble mutterings be
the foolish actions" of q bad Ne
gro'' it remains for Mr.. Talrnadge
to make the most of it.

The Globe Trotter
FAULTY SENSE OF PROPORTION

Mr.. Talmadge has become so in
censed is the suit filed by an At
lanta teacher, William III. Reeves,
in the United States District Court,
seeking from the Atlanta Board
Of Education compensation equal to
that paid white teachers.
FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
This is an issue that is SO funda-
mentally in line with democratic
principles, the tragedy is that it
was necessary to call upon the
courts to even decide 1t.
But to Georgia's governor, the
suit is q dangerous thing. Though
the petition was drawn up and
filed by ar Atlanta lawyer, with an
Atlanta teacher as the plaintiff,
and the funds to support the action
raised among Atlanta citizens, the
governor sees it as the efforts of
a Turin" organization to cram
something down the Threats OF
Georgians, black and white, that
they do not want.
just when Governor Talmadge
took time out to even consider the
wants of Georgia's Negro citizens,
who comprise 40 per cent of the
states population is not made clear.
Nevertheless in his Statesman, he
presunes to be spokesman for
this large group of people, whom
heretofore, he has completely for
gotten, except as being a useful
segment Of the population upon
which to make political capital at
election time.
SOME QUESTIONS
Says he: "The good Negroes 10
Georgia don't want any such suits
as this filed. The Association for
the Advancement OF Colored Peo-
pie can't do any good with its ac-
tivities in Georgia. And, / hope
that the good Negroes III our state
will not let this association en-
courage them to act foolish"

madge ever consulted any Negroes.

Appointments
Do Not Indicate
Change in Policy

CHICAGO ANP)- The Navy
has appointed two teachers to
serve in the navy teacher trainer
center here where gobs. mechanics
and various others of the Navy en-
listed personnel are trained The
two teachers are Douglas r. Turn
er tof Chicago who reported to the
center March for q months
training course after which he will
teach meteorology and Lloyd Cor
lin Of Xenia, Ohio, who has been
certified to teach aviation me-
ehanics.
The navy teacher training CEN
ter is located in the new three
million dollar Chicago vocational
school. When it was completed a
year ago, the navy promptly
sought it and the city relilquished
il for the purpose of aiding in
training navy personnel.
Turner. a Chicagoan and former
TERMS star at the University Of
Illinois, has been teaching at Vir-
gi1iia Union University. Corbin, q
graduate of Ohio State University
in columbus, in industrial arts. has
been teaching in Xenia schools for
tire past two years.
The appointments do not indi-
cate any especial change IN the
attitude of the Navy, it is felt. The
school at Chicago while under
naval supervision, is in the educa-
tionaI field and probably not as
hidebound in its attitudes as
southern or washington brass hats
normally are. Both young men are
Enthusiastically eolored. Turner, lear

Criticism Is

On Negroes To
Stifle Talk

LOS ANGELES, lamp Fol-
lowing rumors which have circulated
around here that two Negro women
had recently been arrested and sent
to concentration camps for criticiz-
ing the government for the undemo-
cratic treatment of Negroes, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation de-
MED that any arrest had been made.
The earlier rumors that two
women had been reported to the
FBI by a telephone operator who
heard them making sed1tious re-
marks during a telephone converse
ton. one of the women is reported
to have expressed the wish that
japanese would kill off all the
white folks: and / wish they'd get
these / work foE.
Another charge was made against
the FrBI by the Rev. Clayton D
Russell, pastor of Independent
church here. who stated over his
weekly broadcast that FABI investi-
gators were probing activities OF the
California Eagle, Oldest community
weekly, in an effort to Learn whe-
ther Japanese or German funds
were supporting it.
According to Rev. Russell, bTo
men who identified themselves as
FBI agents had questioned Mrs
Charlotte A. Bass, the Eagles pub
Usher. Mrs. Bass denied, however,
that she had thrown them out, as
rumored.
At the department of justice, a
secretary to an official stated that
there was no truth either 10 the
story of the investigation of the
Eagle or of the arrest of the two
women, declaring that one Of the
two men in the FBI office autho-
rized to give. information was out
of town, and the other was too busy
to talk to reporters.

Writes:

There is much to commend the
plan which President Roosevelt is
reported to have worked out for
unifying manpoWer control. Indeed,
the need for action in this field is
SO great that almost any positive
plan is better than none.
The Department of Labor would
seem to be the natural place in
which to concentrate machinery for
co-ordinating the use of labor in
industry. And the military draft
is SO intcrrelated with industrial
manpoWcr that the two belong to-
gethcr.
Few tears will be shed il Mad
anne Perkins Is moved cut of the
cabinet post sne has held since
1888 Most of them will come from
Women Rights-ers. who have been
uncritically happy about having one
of their sex in the cabinet. Neither
employers nor organized labor nor
the general public will grieve if a
labor secretary with vigor, imagin-
alton and tact is given opportunity
to revivify that moribund bureau.
But there are unfortunate fea-
lures, too, about the proposal. If
preliminary reports were intended
as trial balloons, to test public re-
action, then the President may be
interested to learn what the public
would think about having Honest
Harold IckeS, Master of Billings
gate, as secretary of labor.
The grapevine says that Presi-
dents Green and Murray of the two
major labor groups have accepted
Ickcs, though they prefer President
Dan Tobin of the Transfers un-
ion.
II is hard to sec how the public
could accept either without strong
protest. Tobin himself is clean, so
tar as we know, but his union has
been stronghold for some of the
most vicious racketeering practices
But in reaction against Madame
| PerkinS'S official dizziness. it would
be dangerous to assume that a man
of honesty, vigor and Imagination
is all that the Labor Department
needs to handle industrial manpow-
er control and the military draft on
top of its routine functions.
Tolerance is needed, and tact.
Restraint is needed, and the will
ingneSS to give thought to both
sides Of a subject before leaping
into the fray with every vitupera-
tive weapon blazing.
Perhaps no figure in New Deal
officialdom has approached difficult
tasks with better intentions than
Harold Ickes. or with a greater de-
votion to the public welfare. Yet
probably none. unless it be Mrs.
Perkins, has flopped SO dolorously
in everything except preventing
graft.
The United States has thousands
of men as honest, as vigorous, as
imaginative, as industrious as Ickes,
who possess those qualifications
absolutely vital if manpower control
is to work-which he would not
recognize if they were to confront
him in his office.
Can't we have one of those bet
tcr-bnlanccd gentlemen for Man
Boss in the new Sctup?
