Mr.. Hall Had Different Use For Them

A group of Baptist ministers charged Robert J. Hall,
OPA Director, with insults to them. Mr.. Hall, it is claim
ed used the words hell and damn in refusing them
extra gasoline above their allotment, after they had APP
peaed To him upon being turned down by the Poinsett
County Rationing Board.
When the ministers appeared before Mn. Hall, he is
reported saying. First, fellows, want you to understand
that / do not give a damn whether you are a preacher,
lawyer, doctor, farmer on what the hell you are; they are
all the same to me- Now, because the OPA Director en-
phasized his impressiveness in his refusal to give the
Apostles of Christianity gasoline they failed to prove them
selves entitled to, National Director Prentiss Brown, will
have to add insults to his list Of rationing.

Southern Tradition VS..
Northern Policies

heplinteu tHe "A IhEAoc, May O, lof1
During the past year there has been much discussion
about the race question. Accordingly many articles have
appeared in outstanding publications concerning the Ne
gro. In most cases, the subject was approached objective
ly from the standpoint of human rights. However critical
a view that was taken by the writer's they all expressed
the opinion that the Negroes future place in America will
largely be measured by his contribution to the present
war effort.
Although the majority of Negroes live in the south
their way of thinking is being influenced in a large way
by northern organizations and self appointed leaders. Since
the conditions are different in the south than in the north.
it is natural that a different method of approach must be
used. In fact, if some of the policies advocated by north
ern self-appointed leaders were followed, the entire south
would be in a state of bloody revolution.
There are certain Southern politicians who are known
to use race hatred to serve their own selfish ends. Yet
few fair minded candidates for public office have had the
fortitude to take a stand on the question. The reason is
quite obvious. Their opponents would brand them as Mig
ger lovers" and their chance for election would be greatly
impaired. Because of the traditional one party allegiance
of the South and the systematic Acknowledgement Of the
Negro the southern office holders have only a moral obi
cation to protect the rights of the Negro. 1t is our hope
that someday some southern leader Will declare 81 stand
for the same rights for our Negroes in the south that are
given to the Negroes IN the north. am opposed to the

Today the American way of life is being made to
stand the supreme test. Never before in the history of
the world have the issues been more clearly defined. De-
mocracy is no longer a system Of government but an ideal
that white men and black men alike must give their lives
to defend. We need the hands, the minds and the hearts
of every patriotic American to win the battle before us.
False and mslncere leadership among both white and col
ored people is the most dangerous threat to our national
unity.
The South is the Mother soil of the majority of Ne
gro people. At her full bosom has been nursed most of the
