ire of war-outside of wanting to
defeat the enemy and 60 back
home-is enough Negro newspapers
to read to find out what's cooking
back on South Parkway, LenoS
avenue, Beale Street, Auburn ave-
nue. and their equivalents.
The special service section of
the army is doing good job OF
keeping high the morale Of colored
soldiers, with one Negro officer, 1t
Edward Lowe, assigned here. But
the crying need is for newspapers
from home. Recently one copy Of the
Baltimore Afro American was re-
Ceived here and, conservatively
speaking, it passed through more
than 500 hands before it finally be-
came too worn for further reading
Several white newspapers AND
magazines send regularly copies OF
their publications to white soldiers
in this theatre without charge
Colored soldiers are hoping that
Negro newspapers throughout
America will follow suit. An APP
preparation is understood to have
been requested of the war depart
ment for subscribing to several OF
the leading journals, but it is
expected that months will
pass before this request can get
normal military channels.

Healthy Race Attitudes Are
Found In Brazil By Frazier
Howard Professor
Tells OF Trip To
S. American Nation

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, va
(SNS)-The healthy attitude OF
the country of Brazil in regard 70
race was described at Hampton In
stitute last week by DR.. E. FRANK
lin Frazier of Howard University
and Raul d Eca of George Wash
ington University, who gave ad-
dresses in ogden Hall during the
closing days of the Inter-AmerlCarl
Affairs program at Hampton.
Senior D'Eca, a native Of Portugal
lived in Brazil for a number OF
wears. DR.. Frazier recently conplet-
ed sociological study In the South
American republic.
Both scholars stated that color
distinctions are not made III Brazil
because of the extensive intermar-
riage which has gone on for gen.
erations between the white and
Negro races there. White" and
"colored' siblings frequently ap-
pear in the same family, and class
distinctions are based on economic
and cultural status rather than
racial makeup.
The color situation is like that
in a Negro community, where there
is some subtle distinction because
of color" said DR.. Frazier, but
in general Brazil has the most
healthy attitude in regard TO race
that I have ever seen.
Because of economic conditions,
social mobility is slow, and III
southern Brazil there seems to be
some differentiation as to race.
but even this discrimination APP
pears to be directed against the
Inchan admixture rather than the
Negro"
Senior D'Eca also declared that
there is social and economic dis
elimination to some extent against
the Indians in southern Brazil, but
reiterated Dr. F'razier's statement
that the color line is not drawn
against the Negro in Brazil. He
cited some of the outstanding
achievements of Negro Brazilians
one of whom was president of the
republic for time.
ct would be impossible to up
hold distinctions on account of
color,'' he asserted, because of the
great degree of intermarriage. 1t is
not even possible to give accurate
figures on the proportionate num-
bers of Negroes and whites in the
country, because the mixture has
been so complete"

"Still another psychological de-

they were having this sport with

But would not any effort he made
now turn out like the others? Why
go forward and meet more hate?
He lay on the cot, feeling as he
had felt that night when his fin
gers had gripped the icy edges of
the water tank under the rowing
flares of light, knowing that men
crouched below him with guns and
tear gas, hearing the screams of
sirens and shouts risi1g thtrstily
from ten thousand threats. ....
Overcome with drowsiness. he
closed his eyes; then opened them
abruptly. The door swung in and
he saw q black face. Who was this?
A tall, well-dressed black man
came forward and paused. Bigger
pulled up and leaned on his elbow.
The man came all the way to the
cot and stretched forth a dingy
palm, touching Bigger's hand.
Nah POI boy! May the Lawd
have mercy on yuh"
He stared at the mans iet-black
suit and remembered who he was;
Reverend Hammond, the pastor of
his mothers church. And at once
he was on guard against the man.
He shut his heart and tried to ST.
file all feeling in him. He feared
that the preacher would make him
feel renorseful. He wanted to tell
him to go: but so closely associated
in his mind was the man with his
mother and what she stood for
that he could not speak. In his
feelings he coulo not tell the diff
ference between what this man
evoked in him and what he had
read in the papers: the love of his
own kind and the hate of others
made him feel equally guilty now.
How yuh feel, son?" the man
asked; he did not answer and the
mans voice hurried on: "Yo' ma
asst me { come n see yuh. She
wants t come too"

The preacher knelt upon the con-
crete floor and closed his eyes.
Bigger clamped his teeth and flex-
ed his muscles; he knew what was
coming.

Bigger stared unblinking1y at the
white walls before him as the
preachers words registered them
| selves III his consciousness. He
knew without listening what they
meant; it was the old voice of his
mother telling of suffering, of hope,
of love beyond this world. And he
loathed it because it made him feel
as condemned and guilty as the
voice of those who hated him.

not listening. If someone had after

been able to do SO. But he felt and

preacher talked there appeared be-
