Nov you see the real urgency of the rub
L Der situation. AS patriotic American
you must make your present tires last as
long possible.
Suppose our 100000 cars were taken
off the road. The nations efficiency and war
effort would be crippled. Immediate demand
for more buses, trucks, trains and trolleys
would divert our precious supply of STEEL

sitter lengthy illness. Mr.. Rich

Sheriff Criticised
In some Of the best circles in
this city, the sheriff is the subject
Of considerable criticism for fail
ing in performing his duty in the
protection Of his prisoner. Tex
aikanans prefer to believe that it
was bunch Of outside hoodlums
who entered the city and were re-
sponsible for the lynching. And
regrettable as il were, local white
reputable citizens make no hesi-
fancy in predicting that this incl
dent will pass as all others that
happen In southern territory, for
it is very doubtful if any justice
can be expected from this group
Of officials.

EDITORIAL
"FlDDLING WHILE
ROME BURNS"

Bloodthirsty Texans have at
last hlackmarked the "toler-
ably" fair name of Texarkana,
as well as that of the nation,
when they invaded the Texar-
kama hospital and took an al
ready dying man and dragged
him thru the streets of that city
to an abandoned cotton gin and
hanged him by the neck and left
him dangling in mid-air.
Another Negroes life has been
sacrificed, despite the circum-
stantial evidence which disap-
prove any iota of guilt, to aid
Allied nations in shaping de-
cisiohs in the party they want to
play in helping America in this
present conflict.
Confirming an old tradition Of
southern justice-A woman cries
a Negro MUST die, any Negro
for it is conceded in some of the
better circles Of Texarkana that
an innocent man has died.
When Allied nations of darker
races are watching Americas at
titude toward her own darker
subjects in order that opinions
may be speedily formed as to
their cooperation in this all-out
effort and to have roughnecks of
any community to commit such
dastardly crimes, Is nothing short
of treason and leaves only one al
tentative and that ia the Depart
ment of Justice. Will the
Department of Justice act and
and clear America of rebellious
hoodlums or will the Department
leave it to- local authorities to
make it blacker and blacker?
The answer lies with fair m,Ed
people of Texarkana, who still be
leve in the Constitution Of
these United States Of America.
Time will tell.

LYNCHING NOW CASE
FOR GRAND JURY

Editorial from the Texar-
kama Gazette, July Ia.
Error in judgment probably
Is the minimum that might be
said of Sheriff Watts failure
to provide an armed guard over
the wounded Negro who was
taken from Texarkana hospi-
tai Sunday night and murdered
by d group Of men thus far un-
identified.
The Negro was suspected OF
having made an attack upon q
white woman, but 1t had not
been definitely proved that he
had committed that offense.
Even If he had been known
definitely to- be the assailant,
this Negro was entitled to the
protection of the law and to n
fair trial in court.
In a statement Monday the
sheriff said he had not placed
q guard at the hospital because
he was not certain tho Negro
had made the attack upon the
woman, That would appear TO
be all the more reason why such
a guard should have been estab-
lished. 1t was generally believ-
ed that the wounded Negro was
the woman's assailant, and ru-
mors that q lyncnlng was in
prospect were current early
Sunday night.
Thorough investigation" now
said to he in progress probably
will come to naught, as such in
yestigations in such cases us
ually do. It Is locking the door
aftor the horse Is stolen.

application of Excepting the Negro
in his place." the NAACP told
the Presidents Committee on
Fair Employment Practice last
week, in answer 70 q request from
the FEPC to outline the ways in
which the segregated plan hurt
the best interests of Negroes.
The Sun company, located at
Chester, Pa, is hiring a large
crew Of Negro workers in ship
yard which will be separate from
the rest of the Sun enterprises.
The NAACP maintained that the
project is a violation of the letter
and spirit of the Presidents Exc
cutive Order, 1902, declaring that
it sets up trade barriers beyond
which the Negro worker cannot
go.
The NAACP also made the
point that Joseph Pew, president
of the Sun company, in putting
Negroes into separate unit,
divides the war into parts, and
implies that the Negro is unable
to work tremendously with other
people.
1t was again stressed that when
times comes for a reduction in
personnel, the jim-crow unit could
very easily be the first to go.
Finally, the NAACP stated,
"the Sun company, by its acts, is
delineating a pattern which is
dangerous to the American way
Of life"
