Riots Call For Action
On Anti-Lynch Bill,
Congress Told

New York. The rising surge of
bloody and violent mob movements
ranging from Los Angeles to Phil
adelphia and Detroit to Beaumont,
Texas, caused the NAACP this
week to call again upon Congress-
men to sign the discharge petition
that viii rescue from committee
the Gavagan Anti-Lynch Bill, HR.
81.
The NAACP warned that the
tragic growth of mob violence
which threatens to become nation
wide will inevitably seriously ham
per successful prosecution Of the
war. The rioting in connection
with the Packard ~upgrading Of quail
flied Negroes. the outbursts against
zOot suffers which has been shown
to be directed almost exclusively
against persons Of dark skin. and
the clashes in the Mobile shipyards
are tragic examples of a dangerous
situation which can be checed only
by the strong arm of the Federal
Government, the NAACP contend
ed.
The loss of two lives and greet
property damage at Beaumont,
Texas, the loss OF 20 lives at De
troit-..was charged to subverslve
forces among whites and white
~shipbuilders who deliberately pro-
voked the riots Il prevent Negroes
from helping to produce the goods
which are necessary to win the
war.
The riot in Beaumont was melted
by report Of criminal attack" BY a
Negro upon a white woman, an al
tack which medical examination
proved to be unfounded.
To the congressman the lynching
Of Cellon Harrison on June Is at
Mariana, Florida, was recited
Harrison's conviction had twice
been reversed by the Florida courts
and NAACP counsel was planning
for attempts at a third reversal
even while Harrison was lynched.
Sixteen months after the murder
OF Johnnie Mayo on February 3.
ls4e, Harrison was arrested. con
victed and sentenced to the elec-
trio chair. The Supreme Court Of
Florida reversed the conviction
Harrison was again tried, and a.
gain convicted and sentenced TO
the electric chair. The conviction
affirmed by a vote Of 4 to 3
BY the Supreme Court of Florida
Clyde w. Atkinson, Tallahassee
attorney, asked the Supreme Court
TO again hear the case, and after
reargument the Court voted 4 10
3 to reverse the conviction.
Several days after Harrison was
released, another grand jury i'll
Jackson County again indicted haa
for the same offense and he was
in jail at Mariana for trial which

THOUGHT For odoy

We do not have many red letter days in our lives
Most of life is made up of humdrum duties, and
only occasionally do we have any really stimulating
experiences; this is particularly true of Army life
here at home. Soldiers in camp sometimes tempted
to regard their daily work a matter of course
Very often they inclined to neglect their jobs
entirely not because of deliberate intentional
ity but because outlook and ambition are easily lost
in the midst of routine activity
The Commanding Officer is always faced with
the knotty problem of studying and analyzing the
condition of his men, and determining what limits
he should place departure from strict discipline
He must preserve enough regularity for the successful
disposition of his mission and at the same time he
must recognize the within the soldier and make
the necessary allowances, in order to obtain the
maximum inspired obedience. Company organiza-
ton and regulation would to be the difficult
task that it is if soldiers would make really con-
scentious effort to understand the tremendous job
that confrOnts their Commanding Officers. To the
Officers is entrusted the responsibility of organizing
and running units to the best military advantage
Under the most favorable conditions, it would still
be difficult task No soldier wants to belong to
a disorganized, inefficient group, but each
make himself want to make his organization the
best there is. 1t is to each individual to prevent
his organization from falling to pieces.
The will to succeed, and the courage to fight
under adverse conditions traits that are inborn
in soldier or any man. for that matter. They can
not be created; they only be stimulated by
one else, and one hundred percent individual coop
Grafton is necessary in order for any enterprise to
be successful
Frequently in civilian life, trifing irritations if
unsolved pave the way to divorce courts child place
ment bureaus insane asylums and places of the sort
The lack OF strict discipline know it, is the
cause of the riots fights and disturbances that mar
the peace and frendness that thought exist among
civilians. This usually among people who can
not De reasoned with or told anything for their
good Similarly in military life seemingly unmportant
disputes or disturbances often lead to court martial
proceedings unauthorized absences dshonorable dis
charges, all of which tend to tear down and ruin
that unity of thought and purpose which is necessary
for ultimate victory.
We cannot be good soldiers in critical moments
If we have been poor soldiers in ordinary tirnes~
People usually crack under pressure because they did
not build up enough resistance before they needed
it. AS far as we are concerned, acquiring such re-
sistance means faithful attendance to duty and the
application of strict self discipline under all condi-
tionS ~
