Editor Says Powell Is
Setting Negro Back Years

(ANP)-"Your race in Mississippi
will be the first to repudiate you,
and to denounce your flagrant vio-
lation of state harmony that exists
between them and the white peo-
ple," John w. Lynch, editor Of the Z
Delta Democrat Times, told New
York's first Negro elected to con-
gress just after DR.. A. Clayton
Powell had told a Harlem audience
that 100000 Negroes were dis
franchised by the poll tax.
"The day the poH tax is elimi-
mated, l am going to leave home
and go to Mississippi and run for
the governorship of Mississippi"
the New York politician and lead
ing churchman said.
An open letter from the Missisi
sippi editor read:
eve get along fine with members
of your race down here in Missis-z
sippi and we shall continue to get
along with them as long as their
leadership is enlightened and toler-
able.
"You are setting your people
back many years in social and eco
nomic progress by your attitude.
To keep old wounds open and irri-
tated is not the way to cure the
patient. You have no status to speak
for your race in Mississippi and, if
we know them correctly, they will
be the first to repudiate you and to
denounce your flagrant violation of
the status of harmony that exists
between them and the white peo-
ple."
Mississippi is one southern state
in which Negroes of voting age
outnumber numerically the whites.

Beau Jack Wins Coveted
Boxing Honor

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Beau
Jack, private in the United States
army at Fort Benning, Georgia, has
been recently named the "boxer of
the year" by Ring magazine, which
released the ratings today.
Beau Jack, who is really named
Sidney Walker, was born % years
ago in Augusta, Georgia. He was
the one picked for the honor out of
1881 other active professional fight
ers, the largest number ever in
dexed by the magazine.
1t was Beau Jacks success in do
ing most for boxing in New York
that brought about the title. He at
tracted the highest gates as a civil
ian and then after his induction in
the army he donated his services in
the fight with Bob Montgomery for
war bonds.
The magazine in proclaiming him
the boxer of the year didn't mean
that he is the lightweight champion.
That title is still open.

0PA Finds That Negroes
Observe War Restriction

DALLAS, Dec. % (ANP)-Ne-
groes appear to be much better than
average in complying with wartime
restrictions such as price control
and rationing, a study of regional
OPA enforcement figures indicates.
This may be true because Negroes
are hesitant to report violators.
This announcement was made by
Ernest E. Neal, regional informa-
tion specialist, in Dallas, who has
just completed a study of Negro
violators of OPA's regulations in
six southwestern states, Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Ar
kansas and Louisiana.
The study, covering the period
Jan. l to Nov. 1, disclosed a total
of 1O8 violators in 10 of the regions
13 districts which compares favor
ably with the overall enforcement
figure. In one month alone, OPA s
enforcement division filed nearly
1000 cases of all kinds and descrip-
tions.

in entering into and enforcing
agreements discriminating against
them, all under the guise Of consti-
tutional authority, still remains.
No statutory Interpretation can
erase this ugly example of economic
cruelty against colored citizens Of
the United States"
Justice Murphy said that moth
ing can destroy the fact that the
accident Of birth has been used as
the basis to abuse individual rights
by an organization purporting to
act in conformity with congress
sional mandate. Any attempt to in
terpret the act (railway labor act)
must take into account and must
realize that the constitutionality of
the statute in this respect depends
upon the answer given.
"The constitution voices its dis
approval whenever economic dis
elimination is applied under au-
thority of law against any race
creed or COLOR" Justice Murphy
stressed. "a sound democracy can
not allow such discrimination to &C
unchallenged."

railway LABOR ACT Unconstitutional
Wholesale Damage Suits
May Follow Supreme
Courts Decision
By GEORGE F. McCRAY

CHICAGO, Dec. % (ANP)-The
door has been opened wide to Negro
workers for wholesale damage suits
against unions which scheme, con-
spire and deprive under "color of
congressional u h ority y Negro
workers of their constitutional
rights as citizens" as the result of
unanimous decision of the u. S.
Supreme court to throw out the
whole Railway Labor act as uncon-
stitutional and ruled that the case
of the two Negroes be sent back for
rehearing for damages and rein
statement of their jobs.
While the Supreme courts deci-
sion was hailed by Negro labor
leaders, in and out of the railroad
unions, as a strong blow that cut
the legal and moral fibre of lily
white unionism in the United States,
most Negro labor leaders revealed
pessimistic reaction to the propo-
sition of an anti-Negro white union
representing the interest of Negro
workers.
eff the ultimate effect of the de-
cision is to force this lily-white
union to go through the motion of
representing Negroes to protect it
self against damage suits, no good
will be achieved" commented Rich
ard w. Smith, secretary-treasurer
of the AFL's Joint Council of Din
ing car employees, representing Ne
gro and white railroad cooks. "It
will be like having lawyer work
ing against you behind your back.
Only when Negroes are allowed to
join the firemen and engineers
unions on a basis of equality will
truly beneficial results be realized" +"
John Yancey, secretary-treasurer
of the CLOS Transport Service En-
ployes union, declared that "only
complete equality in the union and
on the job will destroy the cruel
economic discrimination against
Negro workers" Yancey revealed
that his union sent lawyers to Wash
ington to prepare and argue the
case on behalf Of the Negro fire
| men.
"The Railway Labor act should
be amended Immediately to deny its
| protection to any unions that abuse
it's authority by discrimination, y
Yancey said.
Describing the conspiracy as an
ugly example of economic cruelty
against colored citizens, the whole
Railway Labor act was placed in
danger of being branded unconsti-
tutional.
"The utter disregard for the dig
nifty and well-being of colored citi.
zens shown by the record is so pro.
nounced as to demand the invoca.
tional condemnation to decide the
case and to analyze the statute
solely upon the basis of legal nice
ties while remaining mute and pla.
cid as to the obvious and oppressive
deprivation of constitutional guar
antees is to make the judicial some
thing less than it should be-" de
clared Justice Frank Murphy.

tional issue cannot be lightly dis
cussed," Justice Murphy continued

Ben Larson, the able and affable
manager of WWDC, phoned the
other day with the comment Great
Scott is in town" After a suitable
and polite period Of silence, waiting
for the whiplash that usually follows
such a statement. the only possible
answer was drawn out "Well-l-l-l'

facilities of the c. and P. I'll send

continued, hes great guy, you'll

Thus at 3 o'clock a reasonably

in with totally deft person
who was and is the Great Scott"
Mike left in a few minutes and
the conversation became COM
pletely incoherent. Looking back
over 327 pages of notes the fol-
lowing information assumes the

tened him Leslie Scott. He is
booked now to do a Sunday after
noon show on WWDC, 3:30-4:30
o'clock and a nightly effort from
1900 midnight to am.
According to the Great Scott his
programs are solely for his own
amusement, the audience doesn't
count for much. For example, one
evening he was angry with his lis
teners and played one Guy Lom-
bardo record for a solid hour with
out respite. Scott refers to himself
as something new has been added.
