What Others Saw:

American population, have not
been slow to grasp the possibility
of enpittlizing on the eo-called
"Negro problem The very in
justice of Anti-Negro prejudice
and activities in this country has
left America with a sore spot only
too susceptible to artificial Nazis
irritation.
Nothing | am saying here should
be construed as an argument
against a vigorous continuation Of
efforts to eliminate injustices
against the Negro. TO this end,
every possible national effort
should be made now and always,
But we must above q make sure
that our thinking in this connection
is not muddled and confused by
Nazi-mindad agitators seeking,
not to secure justice for the Negro
(since racial discrimination is a
basic tenet Of the Nazi faith, but
rather to use the righteous indig-
nation Of the Negro for the weak
ening Of our war effort, the secur-
ing eff Nazi victory, and thus
the undoing of the Negro himself.
Against such propaganda every
Negro must he made alert.
Consider for instance the Nazi
attempt to stir up suspicion and
conflict between Negroes and Jews
Anti-Semitism is. of course, one
of the major devices in the Nazi
bag of tricks--a device for first
creating strong emotional hatred
of the Jews, and then for discredit
ing every individual, group or doc
trine they wish to attack by means
Cf false charges of "Jewish con-
spiracy" or "Jewish influence"
As we know, this anti-Semitism
of the Nazis is not only one Of
their central doctrines; it is also
their major propaganda weapon.
The spreading of anti Spmitism
among Negroes is simply one part
OF this major strategy. For il
Negroes can somehow be made he
made to feel that the Jews are re
sponsible. as group for all thell
troubles, a sizeable percentage o
the American population will b
more concerned with the so-calle,
"Jewish problem" than with III
very real Nazi menace.
! would be the last to maintai
there are not many Jews who ar
far from having a decent concer
for injustces to the Negro in TIL
country There arc scoundr"l
and fools in all groups Of our pc
pulaton. And the Jews are no eS
4 ception. But it is also clear,
think, that serious bad feeling n
s tween Negroes and Jews is neithe
logical nor likely. For both group
p represent minorities in this cour
s try, against which there is ser
Gus prejudice. Both groups hav
been pointed to as scapegoats. q.
Both groups have been uniustl
{ treated, although differently, owe
10 a long period Of time, and in in
4 portant ways. Accordingly,
e would seem that Nayi attempts t
! fan irto flame this particula
spark Of ill-will are not lik"l
to succeed in The long run. Fl
both Negroes and Jews as inlI
, viduals are too intelligent to ia
n for so obvious a game.
For the immediate present, no
b ever, there is cons(nt freed E,

The lone hit of Delacruz, a single

His mates didn't get their second

needed four more frames before

Stephens apparently was deferred
because of a knee injury suffered a

back injury.

the spring he did not expect to join
the Browns at all, intending to wait
at his home in California till called.
Finally he decided to play until the
summons came He hurt his knee
and was out of the lineup for a
while. Then he left the club
month ago to hurry back to St.

found it had been postponed.
Through all of his uncertainty he

CHICAGO, June 30.-Against the
Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton baseball team at dusk here to-
night Manager Ossie Bluege of the
Mats will employ Lefty Gomez as
his starting pitcher and his appear
ance may be more interesting to the
Washington baseball team than the
customers.
Bluege is desperate for reliable
relief pitcher and If Gomez makes
an acceptable showing against the
strong naval nine it will serve as a
stimulant to the Mats manager,
who has seen several possible VIC
tories evaporate for lack of passable
hurting in the clutch.
With Ewald Pyle being hammered
hard and often in recent relief roles
Bluege isn't inclined to trust him in
tight spots. Rae Scarborough. who
has been an effective relief pitcher
after starting slowly, will leave the
Mats for the Navy on August 5.
Fifth Starter Is Needed.
Mickey Haefner has been a sue
cessful relief pitcher but among
Pyle, Haefner, Scarborough, Gomez,
Dewey Adkins and Jim Mertz,
Bluege hasn't been able to locate q
fifth starter. Thus Early Wynn,
Dutch Leonard, Alex Carrasquel
and Milo Candini aren't getting
much rest.
Gomez could take up some of the
slack. In fact, it is becoming almost
necessary that he does. He hasn't
worked for a month and in that
time the Mats have used only nine
pitchers. Scarborough's loss will
strip the Mats pitching staff to nine,
including Gomez, so it rapidly is be-
coming imperative for Bluege to put
the good-natured southpaw to work.
%Ossie hasn't had a spot to test
Gomez in regularly scheduled
game and Lefty hasn't been impress
sive in exhibitions, but Coach Benny
Bengough reports Gomez recently
has displayed better form in pitch
ing batting practice than at any
time since joining the Mats and
Bluege Is hopeful he'll show it to-
night.
Gomez will be pitching for
