LONDON, Oct. 29-(P)-Par-
tisan forces of Josip Broz (Tito)
have struck one of their most eff
feCtive blows against Germany's
campaign in Yugoslavia by cut
ting the important Zagreb- Bel
grade railway in 1870 places
along a 40-mile stretch just east
Of Zagreb, a Yugoslav National
Army communique said today.
The communique, broadcast

Press, said that two large and
several small bridges were
blown up, four trains destroyed,
and more than 1000 telegraph
poles felled. More than 270 Ger
man troops were slain, the bull
letin asserted
This and other new successes
were announced while Yugo-
slavia's bitter inner strife was
flaming anew with Tito and the
opposing faction, led by Gen
Draja Mihailovic, denouncing
each other in a dispute that in
dependent Balkan advices indi-
cate may have been German in
spired
Adding fuel to this fire, Tito's
communique today asserted that
his followers had FLASHED in a
sharp action near Bistrica with
units of Mihailovic's army who,
the bulletin said were aided by
Italian "Blackshirts' and Outs
lngs' led by pro-Nazi Milan
Medic. Nazi uniforms also were
reported in this engagement.
The communique said that
units Of the 9th division storm
ed the enemy-held mountain
stronghold of Rogatica. 80 miles
east of Sarajevo, and captured
stores of Sorely-needed war ma
terial killing 100 Germans
and Woundlng 100.
The Yugoslav communique
reported that German amphib-
ious forces had attempted a
landing on the large Dalmatian
Island of Brac which faces the
port Of Split, now in partisan
hands. The entire landing force
was destroyed, the bulletin
stated.
German units, however, did
land on the PelyeSac peninsula,
100 miles down the coast, and
established a bridgehead.
West of Zagreb, where the
Germans have been pushing Of
fensive operations for the past
week. all attacks were repulsed
and the partisan bulletin said
that 100 Germans and Croat

LEADER OF REVOLT
Louisiana's Governor Sam Jones
has become more or less the self
appointed leader of the revolt"
against the New Deal. Chief COM

sectionally has been disseminated
against, and CD the New Deal in
establishing its social reforms to

One begins to doubt had the
New Deal been able to limit the
benefits of its rehabilitation
program to white only" there
would have been any protest
from those who are irritated
by freight rate determinations,
yet just as loudly protest any
move that would threaten their
structure of racial discrimina-

The Globe Trotter BY cliff Mackay

While Governor Jones and other
politicians who in the past merely
had to wave the red flag of racial
antagonism to get elected have been
sleeping, a new era has been dawn
ing - an era of international
brotherhood.
FIGHT FOR BROTHERHOOD
Whether Governor Jones believes
it or not, not only white Southern
boys, but all Americans, white and
black, along with the British, the
undaunted Russians, the valiant
Chinese, the courageous French,
white and black, and hundreds of
thousands from Africa, India, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and dusky
Dutchmen from the Netherlands
Pacific possessions are fighting
against those who would destroy
forever the principle of universal
brotherhood
They are bleeding and dying,
sacrificing their all to rid the
world of men who think and
speak like Governor Jones; men
whose warped thinking would
Sow the seeds for another war,
before the second one in
generation has been ended.
These men want a free world, a
peaceful world They are deternl-
ined that there shall be no repeti-
ton of the mistakes made after the
first war to make the world "safe
for democracy" which millions
here in tie United States do not
yet enjoy.
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Governor Jones would choose not
to believe that this is the century
of the common that this is not
peoples war. But the handwrit-
ing is on the wall. You see it in
the meeting Of thousands of white
and Negro workers in the same
unions all over the South in the
freedom for all platform Of the
Southern Conference for Human
Welfare, in the introduction of ar
anti-pol1 tax bill by Florida sena-
tor, in the indictment by white
Georgia jury Of a sheriff for ia
tally beating his Negro prisoner.
The new spirit, though not as
vociferous as that of the richards,
is growing. It is the spirit of in
ternational brotherhood, which the
Joneses, just as do the Hitlers and
Tojos, will resist to the bitter end.
But this spirit will win. 1t must
win. For to lose means tragedy
and despair, Illustration and hope
lessness. 1t would mean the end OF
freedom, not for just one race, one
group, but for all. For in truth
there can be no liberty for any
without liberty fc. all.

Peculiar Reasoning

THE PECULIAR REASONING

ticians who, in one breath cry to the
high heavens against the evil rank
discrimination" in the matter of
freight rates on the one hand and
yell just as loudly for the main
tenance of racial discrimination on
the other, simply fails to make
sense to this writer.
Discriminatory freight rates are
bad. Southerners are justly indig-
nant and are on firm ground in
launching wholesale protests against
them. But equally as bad are dis
criminatory wage rates, whether

mashed the same old winnings of
demagogues,, who never lose an OPP
portunity to play race against race,
for their own selfish reasons.
FEAR RACE EQUALITY
ut is increasingly clear that the
New Deal high command hopes to
use the war as an instrument for
forcing racisl equality upon the
South" bemoans Brother Jones.
"S0utherners observe digni-
taries high in the New Deal
armament as they travel about
our region blitheIy sowing riot
and race dissentiOn amongst us
for generations to, come and
they are disturbed and alarm
ed" he continued.
IF the South is left alone and
we who have lived together with
the Negroes for two centuries are
given the privilege, we can reach a
solution of this problem that will
be beneficial to both races"
RACIAL ISOLATIONISTS
ALI of which brings us back to
the original premise of the warped
thinking INDUCED in by the Jones'
es and others who, after all these
years still feel that the racial prob
lem" is their own special province,
that affects no one but them and
is really nobody's business but
theirs.
They are the isolationists on
the racial front. Their kind of
isOlatiOnism is as dangerous, if
not more SO, than the kind
displayed by the Lindberghs,
WheeIers and their America
Firsters.
Though more Bibles are sold in
their particular section than any
where else in the world, they would
continue to ignore the chief doc
trlne - universal Brotherhood -
that the Bible teaches.
LAMENTS OLD DAYS
IF white Southern boys felt they
were fighting for racial equality,
they would lay down their arms
right now and quit. They would re-
nounce any such war aim, rightly
or wrongly" bleats Governor Jones.
Here again the governor re-
veals that he is still thinking
