RADIOS IN ALA. NEGRO HOMES
INCREASE

TUSKEGEE-(ANP) - A recent
study OF the radio industry in Ala
bama made by the bureau OF bust
ness research OF the University OF
Alabama located at Tuscalo 81
shows that the percentage OF A.
bama families having radio SC in
creased from 95rc in 1880 10 494cc
in 1910.
This amazing growth in Alaba-
ma radio homes" says the repor.
is due in very rye part 10 the
procurement OF radios by families
IN the lower economic tackets as
represented by the incre asc in raoiI
families among the Negro popula-
ton and among rural farm fami-
lies. Radio homes among Negroes
increased from 1874 in 1890 10 40
in 1910 - an absolute increase OF
over 2400eo; radio homes among
rural farm families tboth white and
-white) increased from 1868 10
86, lis - an absolute increase -
nearly 1900 per cent
The report estimates that "tots,
radio families in Alabama probably
have increased considerably since
1910 due TO increased income sccru.
ing TO lower income groups since
that time"

SIGNS OF THE TINES

Some of our budding young leaders have been
assuring some large Negro audiences that despite
the Tory talk of Winston Churchill and the old guard
crowd in England and America, the British Empire
is on the skids and the reactionary bocn this coun
try is bound to take licking when we win the war
All sorts of miracles seem to be right around the
corner and our hopes for a free world are riding
very high. We are told that there is new spirit"
rowing the earth and the inference is left with
us that the powers of evil in the world are on their
last legs. At last, the American Negro is coming
into the promised land and Moses Roosevelt is
leading him. These young leaders admit that there
are some sour notes in this grand democratic SYM
phony but they counter with the statement that the
"logic of events is irrevocably on our side.
There is Spanish proverb which says, in effect,
there is nothing longer than the hope of poor man.
The Negro masses of America want to believe pas
sionaely that the logic of events" is their side
To take away the hope of an oppressed people is
one of the greatest of crimes Nevertheless, true
analysis of events today does not disclose the bright
gilded picture that is being painted by the sparkling
speakers who have their feet planted firmly in mid
air. There is no use in kidding ourselvevs about the
alleged weaknesses Of the entrenched reactonares
or the tottering Tories in England and America.
When Englishmen saw Hitler pull up across the
channel at Dunkerque and the Japs stab US in the
back at Pearl Harbor great roaring wave of
brotherhood and unity swept across the land swal-
lowing everything before it. The people of the
democracies were welded together by common hate
for common enemy and class distinctions in Eng
land faded away, and in America the racial lines
were threatened. Churchill and Roosevelt were Dig

It's Not The

ThatCOuntS
From the Christian Science Monitor

Negroes are no more all alike
than all white people are alike
and when II Is realized tina. IL is
not the color Of a mans skin but
MS mental attitude and that OF his
co-workers that governs his suit.
ability as an employee, the so-called
problem OF hiring Negroes in
American factories disappears.
This is the inevitable conclusion
20 be drawn from a thoughtful re-
port 70 The Council for Democracy
on Experiences in Negro Employ
ment."
Naturally TIE handling OF Negro
workers must be approached from
different angles in various parts OF
the country. Segregation Is the
accepted custom In the South. and
also in Border States where some
experiences OF the report were
gathered. But in the North where
black children and white go TO
the same schools. there should be
less shrinking from assimilation OF
Negro workers into mills and work
rooms and on the production lines
Indeed. the secret OF successful In.
tegration has been the securing in
advance OF the cooperation of white
workers. especially supervising en-
ployees.
In the last analysis. the mere
fact of race has been found 10 be
no bar TO the mixing Of workers
in the same CATEGORY OF skills and
economic rating. lArtists. black and
white. And coloy mo bar to asso-
citation. The sahe Is true Of cleo
tricians. of musicians, or OF ma.
chine operators. Those within each
group kave common interests and
often think alike.
The mistake Is made when II Is
sought TO force white people and
Negroes from different strata Of
society to commingle. This is un-
natural TO either race. Mil hands
and laborers do not commonly
mingle socially with professional
men and women, even office work
ers. Their interests lie apart and
their personal habits greatly differ.
and this is as true OF Negroes as OF
white. Not that there are con-
scious class distinctions in the
American democracy: it is merely
a matter Of individual preference
and habit.

THE OTHER FOOT

Last week reader of the Detroit News took
serious exception to classified advertisement III
that paper which stated ITO Rent. Three rooms and
bath. No Southerners." This News reader wrote
an indignant letter to the News in which he stated
among other things 1T looks though lot OF north
erners are still fighting the Civil War when they
show such prejudice against southerners he added,
81 don't see how any paper can publish advertise
ments discriminating against outherners as
renters"
Here is very interesting development IN which
we see just what happens when the shoe OF preudlce
is placed on the other foot We don't doubt that the
numerous advertisements for white only" which
appear in the dailies would meet with approval from
this southerner but when he himself is on the re-
ceivng end of this discrimination, he becomes right
fully indignant Negroes have repeatedly protested
the white only" advertisements in the daiies and
we suffer the same humiliation which aroused this
unnamed southerner to vigorous protest: :.
- The southerner wrote that the northerners who
do not wish to rent to southern tenants don't seem
to realize what the southern people are doing to
help win the war;" Indeed, how often have we re-
minded the prejudiced whites of our contributions
to the war effort. The simple truth which should
be universally understood is that prejudice and dis
elimination are evil in themselves and that the only
sure safeguard against being yictimized by them is
to fight for the abolition of these evils wherever they
appear in our society. Sooner or later it always
seems that the evil men do comes home to roost.
Racial or regional prejudices which lead to
discrimination against people are anti-democratic
forces that nulify all efforts toward true national
unity. The South is the fountan-head of racial and
regional prejudices in America and we believe the
southerner who rightfuly resents the discrimina-
tory advertisement in the News should do more
than protest here but should also turn his attack
upon the source of this trouble He should tell his
fellow countrymen below the Mason and Dixon line
that by promoting discrimination against other
Americans they are really building Frankenstein
which will turn against it's creator. He might tell
Congressman Rankin and some Of the more nfam
Gus Negro-haters down home that discrimination is
dangerous business. If he carries this missionary
work far enough, he might get lynched, and then
he wouldn't need house anyway.
