Those qualities, with the pace OF
the show, make for an agreeable
evening, II you don't mind the dis
tinct burlesque favor of the lines

As the fellow whose name Is At

does just enough OF singing. cere-

He steps aside most frequently

Chaz Chase, the pantomimist, is

IN PRISON TOO

Bitter complaints and protests over treatment
of Negro inmates in Jackon prison have recently
come to our attention We have been informed that
a vicious system of racial discrimination in regard
to jobs and chores has been established there of all
places. We believe that these charges of prejudice
and jim crowism warrant thorough investigation.
1t is the cruelest irony that modern penal in
stitution which is expected to rehabtate criminals
should be guilty of contributing to the delinquency
of its inmates by denying them opportunities for
moral regeneration What is worse, however, is that
these opportunities are denied to Negroes alone
Informed opinion contends that our boys are rail
roaded into prison for minor infractions of laws
which do not of course, take into account the Grim
inal social and economic conditions which produced
such boys. As long we forced to live in sums
and are denied employment, our ghettos will con-
tnue to spawn lawbreakers.
Nevertheless, no state prison should seek to
confirm inmates in their anti-socal attitudes and
behavior. Penology today is supposed to be social
science whereby corrective measures are employed
to rehabilitate inmates The denial of opportunities
for regeneration is sure way to defeat the inmates
effort to lead better life. To deny them these
opportunities simply because they are coored is to
add grevous insult to serious injury.

SOME FUN

The commonplace truism summed up in the
phrase divide and rule has always had great sig
nifcance for us who are on the bottom rung of the
social ladder in America. In our desperation we
have permitted ourselves to fall victim to practices
which are calculated to keep us enslaved. We seem
to always need a scapegoat to blame for our ills
which is very human tendency, but we also appear
to prefer that the scapegoat be one of our own
group some one whom we can point to as double
or triple crosser a traitor etc. While we are
happily engaged in sending one of our own group to
hell, the true snake in the grass slips right from
under us. We let the real enemy get away and con-
centrate all of our lp-fighting upon straw man.
We have been amused by the current campaign
to "get" Willis Ward out of the Ford Motor Com
pany while hardly anything is said about the Fords
with regard to the company's employment policy.
We hesitate to believe that foFerd is altogether a.
fool and we know that somebody out there at Rouge
must have read about the Presidents executive order
on employment practices, even if Mr. Ward has not.
Suppose Mr. Ward is gotten" What guarantee that
the Jobs for which we ought to be fighting will also
be gotten? While do not seek to defend either
the attitude or behavior of Mr.. Ward we do feel
that our lip-fighting leadership should not ignore
Mr. Ford, who after all pays Mr. Ward for behaving
as he does.
= In the recent Soiourner Truth Housing fight,
we discovered that lipleaders had to be pacifed
and codded like infants to keep them from COM
hitting mutual mayhem. We had fresh Race
traitor every Monday morning While the race lead
ership showed remarkable unity, we believe it was
due more to the skill of the chairman, Reverend Hill
than to the desires of the committee members. De-
spite the handicaps, unity achieved and in that
unity lay the seeds of victory. Quarrelng among
ourselves is great fun, but if we seriously seek to
improve our lot we must not permit the enemy to
confuse US with smoke screens and straw men.
