Tragedy Of Race Prejudice

STUART CHASE'S book, "The
Tragedy of Waste" could easily be
matched by another entitled. "The
Tragedy OF Race Prejudice When
race prejudice has been psychol-
ogical explained, when its intrica-
cies and fallacies have been ex-
posed and when its ubiquitous
ramifications have been explored,
the STARK fact remains that it IS i
great tragedy, colossal calamity

groes as when found among whites.
II. G. Wells was right when he
said a few years ago that race

appalling thing in the life Of man
kind today. The sooner We face
this solemn fact the sooner we
can lay the foundation Of q last

ATLANTA, Ca.-(sNs)-

ALBANIA, Aa.-( (SNSJ-
Police Chief Hornsby Monday
promised a thorough investigation
of the allegedly unjustified arrest
of a Piedmont Avenue liquor store
owner, a watchman of the store
and a newspaper carrier, early
Saturday morning, when patrol
officers and police lieutenant re-
fused to allow them to explain
their presence at the business es-
tablishment from which an at
tempted burglary alarm had been
given.
Remar Davis, owner of the
Piccolo Liquor Store, 80 Pied
mont Avenue, NE, the arrested
business man, accompanied Colonel
Tom Bradley, white, president of
the Atlanta liquor dealers associa-
ton, to the police chiefs office to
protest the treamtent he received
at the hands of the officers.
According to Davis, Ben Sersey,
of 1870 Auburn Avenue, watch
man employed to protect property
in the business district, called him
at his home around three o'clock
Saturday morning, reporting that
two burglars had attempted to en-
ter the liquor store, leaving a crow
bar On the scene. Davis said he
called police officers and hurried
down to his business place, which
only week before had been enter
ed and liquor and pistol valued
at $136 taken.

Color Distinction
Noted In Brazil
Lack of Drive Among Negro
Organizations, Sociologist Says

Although Brazilians generally
recognize the part played by Ne

country discrimination based upon

areas, DR.. E. Franklin Frazier, not
ed sociologist of Howard University
revealed Thursday in an address to
a convocation Of Atlanta University
system students assembled in Sisters
Chapel.
Dr. Frazier, who has written
widely circulated books about the
American Negro and taught at a
number of the better institutions,
said that undoubtedly the influence
of Great Britain and the United
States, in the country as
well as the infiltration of
German and italian immigrants,
has had much to do with the grow
ing color consciousness.
Color distinction is most prom
1nent among the upper classes and
hardly noticeable among the mass

is frequent and children of lighter
complexion have greater escape"

Seeking Burglars
Police Jail Owner

When Davis arrived at the scene,
he examined the door and the
watchman gave him the bar, he
said, and the two of them exanin-
ed the front and rear of the es-
tahlishment, while awaiting the
arrival OF police. A few minutes
later. Jimmy Holloway. Jr.. 18. of
633 McGruder Street, S.W., a
newspaper carrier, walked up and
during conversation with Davis
and Sersey, revealed that he had
passed a police car parked in a
nearby alley. Davis said he went 20
the alley and shone his flaslllight
on the vehicle to determine if it
was the police car, but was unabla
to lind any officers therein.
Davis returned to the front OF
his store, Joining the watchman
and carrier. and suddenly two Of
ficers rushed out from between
two houses warning them tc raise
their hands, he said. When the
liquor store owner tried to explain
that 1t was he who had called the
officers about his store, the police
men allegedly refused to believe,
cursed him and called their
lieutenant, Mr.. Satterfield. Lieu
tenant Satterfield is said to have
refused any explanation, told his
officers that they should have
beaten up this smart Negro" and
he would have backed them. He
/ further ordered the trio jailed on
a charge of suspicion of burglary
Davis was refused the privilege
of calling relatives or his lawyer,
he said, but managed to get q note
through, seeking aid several hours
later. He reached Lawyer Russell
Turner about five o'clock Saturday
afternoon and the attorney talked
with detectives assigned to the case
anG the trio were released, the
charge being dropped, when it was
revealed that he was the real own
er of the store. The watchman
and the newsboy also were releas-
ed with him. Davis paid the at
torney SIS for his work.
Greatly hurt because of the false
arrest, the store owner immediate
ly set wheels in motion to secure
justice for himself and the others
unjustifiably arrested.
Chief Hornsby promised to let
Davis know the results of his in
vestigation in the near future and
to work through Investigator Smith
of the Police Department.
Officers r. w Anderson and
j. T. Laseter signed the routine
report to Chief Hornsby, in which
they said Davis tried to explain his
store ownership and what he was
doing in the vicinity at the time.

The Howard University sociologist
said that there Is lack of drive
and coordination among Negro Or
ganization in Brazil. One organiza-
ton known as the Brazilian Negro
Front formed for the purpose OF
improving the moral, economic and
political condition of Negroes, has
turned out to be mostly social in
It's scope, it was stated.
Brazilians are sensitive to being
regarded as a Negro nation" Of
South America, in contrast to white
nations of the continent, such as
Argentina and Chile DR.. Frazier
said, revealing that Nazi and F'as-
cist propaganda has had much ITO
do with this attitude.
In The armed forces, whites and
near-whites are in command of the
Brazilian Navy while the Army has
mixed colored commands, it was
stated
Brazilians are very careful to see
that pictures and news coming out
of their country to the United States
show white persons and ideologies.

Teach us what to do and say.
Give us new strength to meet the

That lies along the way.
Help us to take away the mask,
That hides thy face from US

To bring peace into the land;
Give us grateful and humble heart,
And help us to obey thy COM

Help us TO lay aside all sin,
And drop the mask of sin;
Cleanse from what defiles within,

Hide not thy face from us today.
God let us fight 1ife's battle fair,
AS we near the open fort.
Give us faith and courage rare,
AS we rest at every port:

May our every day life SO tell
