20 file brief amicus curiae in this
case has also been granted by the
U s. Supreme Court.
The granting Of certiorari in the
Texas primary case is hailed as a
further step in the securing Of he
franchise for the Negro citizen in
the South. Thurgood Marshall,
NAAC.P. special counsel who is
fighting this case told the press this
week. At the same time Marshall
condemned the recent subterfuge
action OF the Florida State lesisla-
ture.
In other words II Is now up TO
the democratic party OF Florida 20

is no doubt that the party will con-
tinue 10 exclude Negroes. but the
decision in the Texas primary Mar

terfuge now being prseticed in
Texas. This precedent will likewise
make or break similar practices in
Florida or other states.
The present Texas primary case
marks the fourth time the question
Of the white primary" has been
before the Supreme Court. In 1927,
the NAAC.P. carried the case OF
Nixon VS.. Herndon to the Supreme
Court which ruled that the state
Of Texas could not exclude Negroes
from the primary by means az

| BAD BEATING
White Officers Turn Deaf
Ear To Pleas For
Protection

Discouraged by the inhuman
treatment OF colored soldiers by
white officers OF Camp Stewart.
Ga. and the residents OF the nearby
city, a Detroit boy was written a
letter Of protest to the editor of
the Michigan Chronicle. urging him
10 do something at once TO alleviate
the deplorable conditions.
The soldier points out In the
letter that although these colored
boys are ready and willing to give
their lives TO save democratic prin-
ciples, they are not permitted to
enjoy those same freedoms.
In fact. he points out, many OF
the white officers would rather
lose the war than treat the colored
soldiers fair. And this attitude
runs all the way from the camp
eommandant TO the lowest ranking
officer.
The letter reads as follows:
Il am writing 10 you hoping that
you will forward this letter on TO
all the people OF the colored race.
I am not speaking OF myself alone,
but for hundreds OF boys here in
Camp Stewart. Ga.
I'VE are not just pleading, but We
arc begging that something be done
about the way we are being treated
here. Half the time we don't get
enough 10 eat and the food We do
get is not the proper food for a
man who has 10 train in this hot
sun here.
The main thing I want 20 tell
you about Is how cruelty we are
beng treated by the white people
here. Last night, which was Sum
day. one OF the best soldiers Of the
entire camp was cruelty beaten IN
