premaey" the eleetrocution Of a
l4-year-old lad in South Carolina
was too much for the editor of
Miami Life to stomach, he ad-
mitted editorially Wednesday.
I'VE have long advocated white
supremacy in the SOUTH" read
the editorial. Born and bred in
Georgia, we could scarcely feel
otherwise. But we must confess
our stomach sickened when we
read the other day that South
Carolina had executed q 14-year-
old Negro child. What an in
dictment against South Carolina
and its people-which state, we
cannot forget, preeipitated the
Civil War.
ITS the best proof that state
rights can justifiably be curtailed.
Such a thing could not have hap
pened in enlightened states. We
don't believe that Florida could
stand for such Justice
Thank goodness most every
body We've talked to feels that
same way Otherwise we would
be horribly ashamed of our fell
low Americans who are citizens
of South Carolina. Anyway, we
feel like apologizing for them
and their inaetion against Off
Gals who are so ignorant and

Atty. Biddle Must
Enforce Election
Laws, SaysNAACP

New York-The job of enforc-
ing the Supreme Court decision
declaring that Negroes may not
be barred from primary elections
is squarely up to the Department
of Justice, Attorney General Fran
els Biddle was told last week by
Thurgood Marshall, NAACP spe-
cial counsel, who helped to argue
and win the historic Texas case.
The decision Of the United
States Supreme Court" Marshall
wrote, rendered on April 3,
clarifying once and for all the
laws as to voting In primary cleo
tions, will mean nothin gto the
millions OF Negroes in the South
who have been denied the right
to vote unless the United States
Department of Justice vigorously
onforces the statutes construed by
the United States Supreme Court
in this decision.
NEGRO soldiers fighting thru
out the world today are constant
ly inquiring as to whether or not
their families are permitted to
vote In the Democratic primaries
in the deep South, and whether
or not they will be permitted to
vote in these primaries If they are
fortunate enough to return.
"The question as to whether or
not Negroes will have the right
to vote In primary elections
throughout the South can only be
decided by the vigor with which
the United States Department of
Justice prosecutes these cases.

the New Deal could not be trusted
to provide productive employment
in peacetime.

ton for Gov. Bricker.
what Plans fer 1887"
The Governor held q press con-
ference for members Of the profess
sional press and the high school
and college papers In the area.
Fourteen-year-old Earl Jensen OF
the Lincoln High Totem in Seattle
was quiet a long time, then asked:
what do you plan. to do in 1948,
GOVERNOR"
The candidate looked startled,
then laughed and replied:
Lets take care Of 1914 first.
Speaking over q Nation wide radio
hook up from the Tacoma Armory
last night, he declared the present
national administration had
dragged this country to the bottom
of the list of nations in terms Of
industrial recovery" after years of
unprecedented spending pump
priming and economic tinkering.o
"New Deal Can't Be Trusted"
In view of this, he added that "the
New Deal cannot be trusted to pro-
vide productive peace-time jobs in
the United States" IL
f Comparing this Nations struggle
against depression with that OF
Great Britain, Gen. Bricker said that
within three years after the low
point of 1892 Great Britain restored
national income and employment to
her 1929 figure.
The United States, he asserted,
never recovered her 1929 income Or
employment until war came"
Outlines IOh provram
The Ohioan outlined program
to .sprovide jobs and to maintain a
high national income" which in
cluded these points:
Settle war contracts as early, as
possible; dispose Of surplus Govern
ment plants, equipment and supplies
"equitably and fairly; inaugurate a
tax policy that will encourage VEN
ture capital and terminate deficit
financing soon after victory.
Taking up the Communist issue
again, Gov. Bricker said that while
President Roosevelt, in his October 5
speech, asserted he neither sought
nor welcomed the support Of per-
sons committed to communism or
fascism, she did not repudiate their
support as he did on September 20,
1886, in an address before the Demo-
cratic State Convention ut ,Syra-
cuse, N. Y"
'That lis a significant fact" Gov.

signed to their support?"
