The Globe IrOtter BY cliff Maekay

The United Nations leaders are
answering TOTO and Hitler with an
avalanche of military might. Their
answer is a resounding no." with
five-ton block buster as a period.
They send their best young men in
to the affray to throw back this
greatest of all threats to individual
liberty the world has ever seen.
They do it knowing that none can
be free as long as one is enslaved.
ANSWER MUST BE mo"
To those in America, who would
practice on a sectional scale, the
same thing that Hitler and TOTO
are attempting to do on an inter-
national scale, the answer too, must
be a determined nor
If the world cannot exist
half-sla and half-free, neith-
err can a nation. Whether Gov
ernOr Johnston likes it or not,
the pendulum, even in South
Carolina, is swinging, gathering
more momentum every hour,
toward full equality, full liberty
for all who dwell within her
borders. Defiant threats against
outside meddlers," race-bait-
ing speeches appealing to the
intOlerant, the fascist minded,
will avail him nothing.
Either America will live and pro-
gress as a democracy in the real
sense of the word, or it will die in
the stirling grip of those who so
freely give lip service to democracy,
but who stubbornly resist its full
and universal application as long
as there is breath" in their bodies.
HOLLOW VICTORY?
If our victory brings about only
the defeat of fascism abroad, it will
be hollow indeed. Victory which
carries the luscious fruit of true de-
mocracy to the world, while doing
nothing to kill the bitter weeds of
fascism in Alabama, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Georgia, is not
victory, but utter defeat.
1t will mean that we have spent
billions of dollars and sacrificed
thousands OF. lives waging total war
to achieve only partial victory. Tt
is something that we who remain
behind must not let come to pass,
the Graves, the Johnstons, the
Connors, to the contrary.

White House, Biddie Deny
Plan To Restrict Migration
Roosevelt Spokesman Says +. d. K.
Has Not Received Suggestion

York Post early last week that In
a special report to President Roose-
Welt on the Detroit riot the attorney
general had recommended, among
other things, that Negro migration
into certain industrial areas be lin
tied or halted, due to the inability
of colored migrants to be absorbed
by the community because OF their
physical limitations or cultural
background" the White House is
sued categorical denial that such
a memorandum had ever been re-
ceived.
However, before the Post exposed
the matter, it was common talk
among inner Washington circles
that such a communication had
been sent to the President under the
date of July 10 or over the signature
of Francis Biddle, the attorney gen.
eral.

night.
He proved SO valuable in
identifying both enemy and
friendly planes that he never left
the bridge until Monday night.
Some sandwiches and coffee and
few catnaps between air attacks
kept him going.
His YVES a difficult Job, because
enemy planes often became mixed
up with friendly planes. Trans
port planes that carried para
troopers inland returned during
the middle of an attack. Spitfire
and Beaufighters often dove on
enemy bombers and fighters and
this made it almost impossible for
the ship to keep from shooting
down some of its own planes.
At times the night sky would
be full of planes and about the
only thing the American gunuers
would do was to shoot at the ones
that dropped flares and bombs. 1t

PULLING PARADOX
The position of Americas white
suprenacists forms one of the really
puzzlfng paradoxes of World Wal
IT. They saw that the war to rid the
world of tyranny has their full ano
whole-hearted support, while at the
same time, they resist with all theil
strength the efforts to achieve VIC
tory over the tyrants in their own
back yard.
Though they do not put it in
so many words, their actions
say to the world, we are for the
Four Freedoms, we are for de-
m0cracy, we are for economic
opportunity and political liber-
ty, as long as you do not inter-
fere with our denial Of these
blessings to the black peoples
who dwell amongst us.
But isn't that the same thing
Hitler says? Is not that the same
sentiment expressed by the Japa-
nese war lords? What difference is
there between this contention and
that expressed by all the DULLES
who have provoked war down
through the ages?
HITLER RESENTED

Hitler said let me do as I please
in Europe; let me persecute the
Jews: let me rape, p1llage and plum
der the weaker nations Of Europe;
let me have my own way. Don't

tate for the decadent democratic
way of life. Let me do this and you
will have no trouble with me. ).

subdue the Chinese; let me
seize neighb0ring territory that
is not rightfully mine; let me
enslave the millions in the Far
East, exploit the natural re-
sources of Burma, New Guinea,

seemed to have missed completely
the significance of united nations

TN Antigua, there are not only

the base, then broadmindedness,
(Which is synonymous with democ-
racy), should be displayed and in
vitations extended to representa-

participate, because as stated in
the opening lines of this note, be-
side the handful of white officials
and white traders, planters, etc.,
that reside, the bulk of the popula-

violence, race riots and lnslolous
campaigns against minority groups
are a national disgrace and a re-
Election upon all Americans, j. Ed
gar Hoover, Director of the Federal
Bureau of investigation, told the
annual convention of the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs OF
Police here August 9.
Calling upon police officers to
recognize their responsibility lot

outbreaks, Mr.. Hoover said tnat
the tar could be won on the sea
and in the air and land campaigns
aud yet be lost on the home 'front.'
ATTACKS RIOTS
IN a direct attack on race riots,
the Director stated:
"Aaother problem which is rapid
" reaching flood time proportions
involves civil violence, race riots,
and insidious campaigns against
minority groups. 1t is a national
disgrace and reflection upon all
Americans that alterations be-
tween individuals can touch on

which are often seized upon, by
Young teen-age hoodlums, of both

all kinds against property and
persons.
Law enforcement is not re-
sponsible for such outbreaks. But,
once lawless bands of people begin

hands, law enforcement does be-
rome responsible.
This Nation in reality is wag-
ing wal. on t%o fronts. One is
against the international purveyors
Of tyranny and barbarity.
"The other front is against our
enemies at home who are just as
determined, Just as ruthless. The
war could be won on the sea, in
the air and land campaigns, and
vet be lost on the home front.

Every victory for intolerance in
America is a menace to democracy
for all of us.
1--WE should keep foremost in our
minds the real task of law enforce
ment. It is the protector of law
and order-the cornerstone OF
civilization of criminal justice. Un-
less the investigator first gets the
facts. and apprehends the real
wrongdeer, the most vigorous and
gifted of prosecuting attorneys are
powerless to act The only ex-
cuse for the existence of law en-
forceEent IS the protection of So

Smart Washington Wears

Many of the young fry took in
the Back the Attack" show dur
ing the week, and as the weather
was cool stepped out in their
spanking new "off to school" cos
tunes.
Sweaters and dirndls were the
order of the day, and the varia-
tions on the theme proved re-
markable, and very fetching in
most instances. Mary, Margaret
and Teresa Whitmarsh, who will
be off to New England to school
this week, Illustrated the sweater
idea with great effect. Mary,
youngest and blondest, wore a
rose-pink sweater; Margaret, in
cherry pink was two shades deep
er as to sweater and hair, while
Teresa's raven locks were set of
by pullover of real red. The
three made a charming SISTER
act as they StrOlled about the
show with arms entwined.
Among the older set, arrivals
and departures have also been
the order of the day recently, as
young wives followed officer hus-
bands to new posts, matrons re-
turned from summer houses to
open homes and apartments here
for the winter. Alicia Kent
dashed down for a few days from
her busy farm in Pennsylvania, to
gather in a few friends for Sun
day night supper with Navy heu-
tenant-husband, George, in the
Kents' apartment here. Alicia,
blond and slim, with lovely

golden tan, received her guests
wearing a striking street-length
frock of black crepe, printed in
flowers of fuchsia and mauve. Cut
out flowers were appliqued about
the deep, square neckline.
Passing through town from
New England to Florida, after
bidding farewell to their naval
officer husbands, bound "for parts
unknown" were Mrs. Conway
Hunt, and Mrs. Edgar Lakin, a
close-knit twosome since their
debutante days not so long ago.
Peggy Hunt, strolling on the
Union Station platform between
trains, was smartly turned out
in a gray flannel suit, with
Paisley blouse in tones of soft
blue and gray, while Betty wore
a severely tailored brown suit,
with q biege, high necked blouse,
monogrammed in huge brown

written invitations are very fiat

that regular invitations with a

especially practical in your situa-
ton. These can be engraved

dress, trimmed with a soft, frilly

cuffs on the elbow-length sleeves,

beauty. Her shiny patent-leather
shoes and bag were the envy of
the girls. Miss Dawson has a
tricky way of wearing several
large stiff flowers in her hair, to
give the effect of a hat.

Etiquette IN Wartime
By Emily Post

The almost daily question of
how to word wedding invitations
when the bridegroom is expecting
to be (but is not yeti a COM
missioned officer, Is asked again
in this letter:
my f1ance is half through
Of1cers' Candidate School and
we hope to be married as soon as
he has finished. Unless we are
miscounting our chickens, he will
then be a second lieutenant. But
when the invitations are mailed
he will not yet have become COM
missioned. Can we assume that
on our wedding day he will be
lieutenant and give him his title?
Also, what about his name on the
anouncements?"
Since there is probably little
doubt about his having received
his commission on the day the
announcements are mailed after
the marriage, it would seem quite
safe to have the announcements
engraved second lieutenant"
Also, the invitations can indi-
cate the probability OF his COM
mission by working them this
way:
