urged again this week by the
NAAGP to prosecute the case of
the white policeman who shot Ray
mond Carr, Negro soldier here ear

that unless affirmative action is
taken by the department similar
beatings and killings will follow
which will continue to strike at the

Should Sing More

1t has often been said that
the only true music of Amer
lea is the music originated by
colored Americans. The most
famous American music was
born Of slavery, sweat and
tears, such being our spirituais.
These are today often desc =
Grated but they manage to
survive through the years.
Jazz or swing music is also a
colored citizen-creation, re-
f1ecting our happier moods
during hard times, a complex
and puzzling situation that
never ceases to cause wonder
from other groups. The only
plausible explanation to some
is that colored people are born
to sing. Moreover, there is the
belief that all of us causing
unusually well. The brilliance
of Mr.. Hayes, Paul Robson,
Marion Anderson, the Hall
Johnson Choir, the Southern
aires-to name a few, only go
to advance the arguments Of
many critics who claim we
should sing more.
