uage is one of the most difficult

years for the average white man

MOSCOW-(A N P)-The crack
416th rifle division Of the Red
army, composed principally OF
tawny colored Azerbaidjans, NOV
ed into the Azov sea city of Ia
gnarog last week and slaughtered
whole divisions of the Nazis forces.
The Soviet army striking in all
it's frenzied fury has been ikened
to a huge meat grinder that de-
voured panic striker packs OF
"Herrenvolk" in some OF the
fiercest fighting to take place In
this war. German soldiers who had
been building installments around
this historic old city constructed
in the early 18th Century by Peter
the Great and Puskins grand
father, the great African general
Hannibal, saw their labor lost
when the strong Notifications
crumbled like sawdust under re-
lentless barrages of booming Red
army cannons.
The victory was complete. AL
though the Germans for . time
tried to hold off the superior allies
the heat of battle became too hot
and the master race" took to its
fascist heels to escape complete
humiliation. But the SovietS made
sure that the Germans were dras-
tically beaten before the fleeing
minority escaped.
Tough Azerbaidjan fighters from
the Soviet republic in the southern
Caucasus bordering Iran entered
the fray with added determination
to wipe out the Nazis foe. They
carried with them memories of
Hitler's vicious "Mein Kampf," his
refusal to shake Jesse Owens hand
in the 1886 Olympic games, the
knowledge that Russians are con-

hard and sharp consciousness OF
his color and feel the shame and
fear that went with it, and at the

Was Max not taking upon himself

whites hate him? But he doubted
if Max could make him see things
in a way that would enable him to
go to his death He doubted that
God Himself could give him pic
ture for that now. AS he felt at
present, they would have to drag
him to the chair, as they had
dragged him down the steps the
night they captured him. He did
not want his feelings tempered
with; he feared that he might walk
into another trap. II he expressed
belief in Max, if he acted on that
belief, would it not end just as
all other commitments of faith had
ended? He wanted to believe; but
was afraid He felt that he should
have been able to meet Max half
way; but, as always, when white
man talked to him, he was caught
out in No Mans Land. He sat
slumped in his chair with his
head down and he looked at Max
only when Max's eyes were not
watching him.

sorry for the white man. He saw

that the special type treatment

us. All we want is equal treatment
in the news"
Deploring the feeble coverage of
news concerning Negroes, the
NAACP head observed that most of
the items appearing in daily pa
pers were concerned with crime.
Since only Negroes are designated
racially the impression is promul-
gated that only Negroes represent
the criminal element in the popu-
lation, he continued. The practice
has been extended to other areas

Green has now become the Negro

ers had been asked and that con-
tinued efforts would be made by
the branch to induce them to aban-
don the Negro race policy"
