WHAT'S BEHIND THE DRIVE TO
TONE DOWN" WALTER WHITE ?
By PETER DANA

NEW YORK - Newspaper
readers must have noticed dur
ing the past several weeks
what appears to be a sort of
all-out effort by a number of
persons to "tone down" Wal
ter White of the NAACP, if
not to discredit him. White has
been accused of everything
from trying to wreck Tuskegee
Institute to using Judge Will
liam H. HASTE as his errand
boy.
When this writer mentioned
these attacks on White to a
man from the Midwest, an &C
tive leader of the NAACP IN
his community, during lunch
con at the Hotel Theresa the
other day, he said he doubted
whether even Walter White
could make all colored people
want to be free and equal. 1t
was his opinion, moreover,
that the NAACP had best close
shop if it were to cease OPP
posing compromises of the Cit
zenShip of colored Americans
such as are represented by Jim
Grow aviation training, Segre-
gated army units and the va
ried platforms drawn up by
colored intellectuals straddling
the fence between first-class
and second class citizenship.
THE MORAL LEVEL
OF THE FIGHT
One of the shocking aspects
of the fight on White is the
moral level on which it is be-
ing conducted. Thus, one
weekly colored paper has even
suggested that Walter White
was principally mad at white
folks not because he is so in
terested in the welfare of col
ored Americans themselves but
because being as white as any
white man he is mad not 1
| be treated like one. This il
truly a new low in public com
ment; and it betokenS a quail

ity of mind which, in Editor
Roscoe Dunjee's phrase, can be
aptly described as "procesSed
inferiority." This is indeed the
kind Of talk preiudiced white
folks have aimed at getting
colored folks to do since before
the Civil War. 1t is divisive; il
Smacks OF inferiority; it is an
end-product of the race-segre-
gaton which men like Walter
White have had the sense and
courage to fight as the evil
thing they know it to be.
ON DESTROYING
TUSKEGEE
1t would be a much more
reasonable Interpretation of
Whites position, this writer
believes, to say the NAACP
leader has no objection to TuS-
kegee's fullest possible service
to it's immediate community
and tho nation at large; but
that when Tuskegee invites
activities affecting the. entire
colored group, like army train
ing, into the jim Grow mould
on which it is patterned, this
is another matter. Mr.. White
has not been heard objecting
to the mixed officers training
school at Fort Benning, Geor-
gia. He has been heard many
times objecting to segregation
whether at Tuskegee or in New
York. If, in fighting segrega-
ton and its attendant evils,
Mr.. White goes after Tuskegee,
then there is a nice argument,
and a forceful one too, that it
would be better that Tuskegee
we're destroyed than that the
dignity of a whole group OF
American citizens should be
| forever compromised.
Moreover, it does not follow
that, because Walter White
sticks to the NAACP ideal d
equality for all citizens, Tuske-
gee is to be destroyed" Per-
hapS 1t is only advisable that

the school weigh equality Of
citizen participation in Amerl-
can life-which its situation
does not allow-against the
merits of the NAACP fight for
this. For however important
Tuskegee may be, it is not
enough to block the path to
equal and full participation of
millions of colored citizens i'll
American life.
AS for the claim that Judge
HASTE is playing errand boy
for Walter White, one can only
say it is beneath contempt.

The passing of DenutV
Grand Master, James S. White
is keenly felt by the craft, net

throughout the country, as he
was one of the ableSt scholars

works of the auxiliary bodies.
He was truly a Mason at heart,
always ready and willing to
perform whatever duty was as
signed to him, to promote Ma.
Sonry and benefit mankind.
For a number Of years he
served as a most eIIlclenJ
Grand Secretary of Alpha

ture won the admiration of all
whit whom he came in con-
tact. He was one of the best
known and popular membe:G

who has publicly pronounced
the operation a minor one.
This is greatly to the relief of
the several hundred guests who
are planning to attend the
Hotel Roosevelt banquet in
honor of President Barclay on
Friday evening, June II.
Mr.. John S. r. Bourne, at
torney Of Boston, spent a part
OF last Monday at the hospital
visiting President Barclay who
is Mr. Burne's first cousin. II
was source of regret among
Mr.. Bourne's New York friends
that court business of import
ance in Boston rendered i'm
possible his remaining to be a
guest at the Friday banquet.
Miss Narka Bourne, however
will be present, having been
recently transferred to New
York from Washington where
she was employed in the Of
fee of the OPA. Miss Bourne
Is Sojourning at 270 Convent

Campbell, a former graduate
Of the Portia School of Law in
Boston. Miss Campbell has &C.
cupied the position of court Of
ficer in the Court of Domestic
Relations in New York City
for the past several years.
The elaborate plans for the
Barclay banquet have created
a genuine wave of intense in
tereSt among the Harlem
group. No recent event has
been preceded by so much an
ticipation. President Barclay
has of course received civic and
social acclaim in a number of
American cities but it could
easily be that the New Yorl;
banquet will be one of the
most distinct memories he vii
carry back to the little repub-
lie Of Liberia, so strategically
located in this present hour
of war and turmoil.
When final victory comes
and the nations of the world
will be sending their rulers tc
visit America there will Of
course be another great occa-
sion for it is already rumorec
that one of the most roya
visitors will be no less than TIL
Lion of Juda, Halli Selassi o

classes, races, groups and va

One day angel touched his soul
And charged it with harmonic fire;
The seraph winged to parts unknown
Rejoining the celestial choir.
The youth endowed, divinely so,
With talent, vigor vision clear
Resolved to build unique touch,
And build he did a touch most rare
Under the ever watchful eyes
And influence of parenthood,
He grew in statue, grew in art,
Advising others when he could.
He labored keenly day and night,
Until he'd reached his lofty aim.
His goal achieved, he labored on
For the love of art, and not for fame.
But fame did come as it does come
To those who labor earnestly;
And in his case Dame Honor smiled,
And trailed his footsteps fearlessly
The soul dvinely charged with fire.
Expressed itself in divers ways;
And instruments and voices
Loud as thunder sang the Creators praise
All hall Thou Mighty Counsellor,
The Everlasting Prince of Peace;
All hail! Lord God Omnipotent
Halleujah, Amen, neer shall cease.
Thus often have stood inspired
Under the impact of this man
Whose soul was touched and who remained
symbol of the Creators plan.

the southeastern region comprised of
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South

Each youth receives an average of
six weeks training, which consists of
AZ hours per week of actual shop work
