THE radio school in the National Youth
i Administrations Southfeld project is one
of the most popular in the city, having in
creased enrolment from 25 to 100 students.
New classes were recently started at and
6 D. M each of four hours duration, so that
study of radio would not interfere with classes
in Detroit public and parochial schools. Many
students are doubling.
Many girls are found in the radio and
other classes in the Southfeld project. The
course which includes construction and opera
ton of radios along with Morse code gen.
orally takes four months to complete. Harold
McKibben, head instructor and his assistant,
Frank Thornton, are former navy men. Nc
Kibben served as radio operator in the last
war;
Advanced students at Southheld put into
condition many radios donated to the USO
for the boys at Fort Custer and Selfridge Field.
Many graduates Of the school are now in
radio work aboard Uncle Sans bombers on
the various fighting fronts. In addition to
radio. the project has classes in metal trades,
machine shop, auto mechanics and clerical
work under the direction of George Fisher.

many of whom are from the South
and the Middle West"

land I mean the deep South"
"What of it," I answered. "Ill
tell you what of it," was his quick
retort. "They're making it tough
for US in New York. They've got
the wrong idea of freedom. They
think that it means to carry chip
on your shoulder, to insult every
white person they happen to come
in contact with. They imagine that
all white folks are against them like
they are where they come from.
They mistake liberty for license.
I heard one of them on a Fifth Ave-
nue. bus in a loud mouth argument
with the conductor about the fare.
He tried to explain that the fare
on the Fifth Avenue buses was a
dime, but she accused him of trying
to cheat her and said, 'Ah knows
the difference between the Fifth
Avenue bus line and the others but
she kept grumbling all the way
from 44th Street to 114th Street
about these 'ol' white folks always
try'n to cheat the cullud.' I felt
like getting off the bus"
"Oh, WE'LL" I said, "they will soon
make the adjustment. Three years

yourself. They will discard those
fantastic patterns and exaggerated
styles, so loud and wrong. They
will learn to speak in low voices in

of just Sunday. And finally they

Remember" replied, "most of
US came from the South. You're
from Virginia, aren't you?" To his
assent I said, "Most of the leader
ship in New York originally
stemmed from the South or the
West Indies. And the great rank
and file of the good solid substan-
tial citizens came from the same
places. I am not worried about
colored people from the South. Let
them come, I hope more of them
leave the South and come to New
York. The only thing is there
should be some movement to inte-
CRATE them rapidly. There should
be a Virginia club, a Georgia club,
a North Carolina club, a Florida
club, a Texas club-in fact, clubs
from all the states with a nucleus
of those who came here many years
ago. These clubs should do more
than just give an annual dance,
They should welcome the new
corners from their various states,
inform them about public and pri-
vate agencies serving the citizens
of New York, tell them about the
public parks, the schools, both night
and day, and encourage them to
register and vote. If this were done,
you wouldn't know the difference in
one year."
81 am not worried about the col
ored folks from the South" I con-
tinued. "What am worried about
is the white folks from the South
and the harm they can do to race re-
lation in this city. I've seen them
glazing at me in restaurants, in
theatres, and whispering to each
other every day."

them?" Precisely nothing" was
my reply. eve are going to so

SHOULD NEGROES FIGHT
FOR THEIR RIGHTS
By Milton r. Konvitz in the New Leader

The authority he could cite is the
Negotiating Governor of South
Carolina, the Honorable DIN D.
Johnston, who, on July IL, told his
State Guard that "if any outsiders
come into our State and agitate
social equality among races, shall
deem it my duty to call upon you
men to help expel them" A few
days later the Governor was an
swered by the Negro Citizens
Committee of his State, who wrote
him: "Cool, level-headed leaders
of our racial groups have never
advocated, nor desire, the much
talked-of social equality which
has been used to breed unrest, and
even hate, among races"
There is no social equality among
Negroes, not any more than among
white persons. The President of
Fisk University does not invite
the scrubwomen to his table; the
head Of a Negro insurance company
does not go mentioning with one
Of the company's agents. Negroes,
like white persons, move in their
own professions, classes, castles;
and many Of them, certainly the
Negro leaders, would consider mil
lions of white persons their social
interiors.
To say that Negro leaders, or
even that some Of them, want
social equality, and will accept
nothing else, is to lay the ground
work for the most vicious of pre-.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-10-08

There is no easier trick in an
argument than to accuse your OPP
ponent of wanting the moon. That
makes him out as a totally I'M
reasonable or irresponsible man;
and after this it does not matter
what your opponent says, for all
his statements, emanating from an
unreasonable source, are tainted
with insanity.
In "The New York Times Maya
zine" July 81 Robert Moses made
use of this mischievous type of
argument. Writing Of civil rights
and tolerance in New York City,
he said: There are stories of I'M
rest among our colored citizens.
There are Negro leaders who will
accept nothing but complete social
equality" The argument is trans
parent: the Negro wants social
equality-the Negro wants the
moon. ....
Who, I should like Mr.. Moses
to say, are the Negro leaders who
want social equality? Who will &C.
cept nothing but complete social
equality? Who are these leaders?
Are they Walter White, W. E. B.
Dubois, Lester Granger, Eugene
Kinckle Jones, Dean William n.
HASTE, Judge Charles E. Toney,
Judge Hubert T. Delaney, DR..
Charming d. Tobias, Thurgood
Marshall, Professor Leon A. Ran
som? I dare say that Mr.. Moses
cannot name one Negro leader.

terests comes hardly with good
grace from a public planner, who
has intimate knowledge of the ways
in which private interests have
created and contributed to the most
crucial problems of our day.

"What's the Matter With New
York;" The real question is:
What's the matter with Robert
Moses?

He aims that with shame shall follow in his stride
He finds foothod in the sky to step toward the sun,
Yet keeps firm hold the earth and each advantage won
