Liable also charged the editors

with spreading Axis propaganda

I'VE have already publicly

promised the government to fer
ret out all illegal radio or tele-

Radio communication between
the Axis and Chile works both
ways. Liable said. THE network

slant communication with Its SUI
periors through clandestine radio
stations. IL Germany sends U-boats
to blockade our coasts, these secret
stations will inform them of all
movements of our merchant ma

LACKS CONTROLS
Chile, Liable reported, lacks an
effective system of radio control.
The official radio control service
has neither sufficient equipment
nor personnel to monitor the air

XII KLUX KHAN
In TEXAS TALK

Misunderstanding that "tho
Ku Klux Khan is predatory
movement that has no place in
America" Wendell l.. Willkie,
titular head of the Republican
party, pleaded that such an
evil influence should not infect
Texas character again, in a broad
cast over the Texas Quality net
work.
Speaking to an audience in the
Fair Park auditorium, Mr.. Will
kie stated:
II am told that in many parts
of the country something resem-
bling the spirit of the Khan is
showing signs of revival You
who see it at close range, you
who know it for the evil it is,
will never permit it to become
again a potent force in Texas.
There is hardly a region in
the United States from Massachu-
sets to California which has not
been at some time susceptible to
this sickness. This is a preda-
tory movement wherever found
and whatever its dress. 1t has
no place in America" Applause
from the audience was loud after
these remarks.

grave Lips may deny existence

ness of every human being gives
the lie to the boasting denials.
The fear of the unknown is
the worlds portion. The world
tries hard to overcome it. On
account of that fear soothsayers,
spiritists, demon-possessed medi-

The true believers should be
wholly delivered from the fears
OF tie wording. The men and

SWEDISH AUTHORS
RACE ANALYSIS
IN NEGRO DIGEST

CHICAGO scholarly evalua-
ton of Americas race problem
written by Gunnar Myrdal, com
petent Swedish racial authority in
which he asserts that the theory
Of white supremacy" is fast dy-
ing and that whites in the West
ern World will either have to sue
cumb or find ways of living with
eolored people, is featured in the
December issue of NEGRO d.
GEST, published here.
Or. Myrdal, who headed the
Carnegie Corporation Negro Study
in 1888 and who is a one-time
Rockefeller Fellow, declares that
the popular beliefs rationalizing
caste in America are no longer
intellectually respectable and thus
the white man is in the process
of losing confidence in the theory
which gave meaning to his way
of life.
"The entire caste order is ex-
tra-legal if not actually illegal
and unconstitutional Whites
have the political power to make
caste legal but they will never
do so, since they cannot afford
to compromise the American
Creed"
Dr.. Myrdal further declares
that America, for its interna-
national prestige. power and fu-
ture security, needs to demons
trate to the world that American
Negroes can be satisfactorily in
tegrated into its democracy.
1T seems definitely certain that
il will be impossible to make and
preserve a good peace without
having built up the fullest trust
and good will among colored
peoples. They will be strong
after the war and they are
bound to become even stronger
as time passes,
ut should be apparent that the
time to come to an understand
ing with colored peoples of the
world on the basis of equality is
fast running out. The Negro
problem is not only Americas
greatest failure, but also Amer
ica's incomparably great oppor-
tunity for the future"

WASHINGTON. - The Presi-

Committee, openly challenged on
constitutional grounds by 16
southern railroads. appeared to-
day to be marking time on a
West Coast Federal Court action
for Qualification of its powers.
In the railroad case. F. e. P. c.
held that the southern carriers
and the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen were discriminating
against Negroes under terms of
an operating contract described
by the committee as barring Ne
gro workers from promotion and
seniority rights. Adjustments
were requested.
Find Action In Doubt
The southern railroads. in
joint letter of f. e. p. C. yester-
day said the agency was wholly
without constitutional authority
to issue or enforce orders for
bidding discrimination against
Negros or any other group. The
union has made no public reply.
F. e. P. C. reported today the
final course of action in this mat
ter had not been determined. No
regular meeting of the committee
is scheduled until December 81.
However, it was learned that
the hearing now under way in
