Give Negroes A Fair
Break = Bernstein

Victor H. Bernstein in his an
alysis of the race problem in the
South, published in Pm yesterday
summed up his findings in what
he called "A Belligerent Program
for Limited Objectives." He des-
eribed what he thought might be
accomplished as extremely modest
and a compromise with justice =
because he felt that to ask for
more at this time of war crisis
might be unwise and dangerous.
The three detectives he set were:
Fight anti-Negro job discrimi-
nation.
Go about for repeal of the
poll-tax.
Crush the lynching spirit.
Pm today presents a summary
of what is being done - or not
done = today in accomplishing
these goals.
One practical thing becomes inn
mediately clear. The Presidents
Committee on Fair Employment
Practices is grossly understaffed.
1t has a budget request in now
for more help. 1t should get it.
The poll-tax battle can be won.
Only 10 signatures are needed to
get the Geyer bill out of commit
tee. The New York Representa-
tiyes who have not signed alone
could swing this. Write them and
tell them to sign.
The fight against lynching is an
eternal one. Some Negro leaders
feel that the menace is not as
acute as it has been in the past
and that the big fight is against
job discrimination. But as long as
there is one Negro - one human
being no matter what his color
lynched in America. then we must
keep up the fight.

Racial Issue is Squelched

LONDON. Sept. 30. - The Brit.
ish government rejected today as
unfortunate" a suggestion in the
house of commons that it inter.
vene against alleged race discrimi-
nation attributed to the United
States Army in Britain.
Prime Minister Churchill per.
sonally reproved T. o. M. Driberg,
an independent. for raising the
question, which has aroused some
discussion here since the army
brought Negro service of supply
troops to Britain. Driberg. who
writes a column for Lord Beaver
brooks Daily Express under the
name of William Hickey. has
made several trips to the United
States and has written numerous
impressionistic p ieces about
Americans.
THE question certainly is UNI
fortunate and am hopeful that
without any action on my part
the points of view of all concern
ed will be mutually understood
and respected" Churchill told
him.
Laborite Emanuel S hinw /
commented that Brendan Bracken
minister of information, publicly
had opposed discrimination. but
to this Churchill said: This is
not the point of merit; it was a
point of representation being
made"
William GALLAGHER, lone Com
munist member, took up the dis
cussion, asserting he had a copy
of a letter sent Churchill by a
number of soldiers stating an Of
ficer had advised them in a lecture
''of the necessity of discrimination
in connection with Negroes in
London"
Driberg brought up the issue in
commons just a day after the dis
closure that Brigadier General
Benjamin Davis. only Negro gen
eral Officers in the American Army,
had arrived in Britain.
1t was understood that the eff
fort to provide welfare and en-
tertainment of Negroes brought
Davis to this country. The r d
Cross already has sent four re-
creational directors.

namely the right of participating
in government through the fran
chise of the vote.
This was one the high-lights
of talk made by Kelvin Henehan
last week before the Renton Hill
Voters League.
Henehan. Democratic Nominee
for State Senator in the 18th Dis
trict, deplored the indifference of
the voters in the recent Primaries
and pointed out the gradual de-
cline and usurpation of peoples
rights in European countries. the
rise of power of selfish minority
groups and the eventual develop
ment of Dictatorships.
Perhaps a solution to this prob
lem might be found in the adop-
ton of the Australian system
which places a fine on those not
going to the polls, unless proof of
sickness Or matters of urgency are
presented.
Those of us not in the armed
forces should protect these in
alienable rights at home for
which our brave lads are giving
their lives, on far off battle fields,
Mr.. Henehan stated, and urged
everyone listening to do his ut
most to get out the vote on Nov
ember 3rd.

Well, here they are folks, Pal

ski. of the Boogie Woogie piano
keyboard: and Russell Jones. the
Bronze Lawrence Tibbett of the
Northwest. You may claim them
as your own both artists are resi-
dents of this city. Palmer our
own popular pianist and orchestra
leader, has been pronounced tops
at the piano keyboard, both in
America and abroad. You will
hear him at his best during the
week of October 12h when he and
Russell Jones. famous star of
stage, screen and radio, will head
line the Palomar Vaudeville pro-
gram next week. You will hear
Boogie Woogie piano music as
only Palmer Johnson can play it.
AS to Russell Jones it is difficult
to attempt to describe the beauty
his rich baritone voice. We can
assure you though, that when he
sings, there is feeling that
takes you away from self, and
causes you to forget there ever
was a worry in this old world.
The common comment by those
who have heard him is, 1.-THE man
who sings with a feeling" Sc
attic is fortunate to have such
artists as these noted musicians
as residents. Don't fail to hear
them at the Palomar next week !;
