PI(kREL, TAFT, Clash
ON RACIAL ISSUES

CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.-The first
debate of the campaign for the SEN
ate seat now occupied by Senator
Robert A. Taft took place here last
night at St. James A.M.E. church
when the incumbent and William G..
Pickrel, of Dayton, the Democratic
candidate, discussed party action on
race issues.
First to address the forum, Sen
ator Taft read the Republican
party platform condemning racial
discrimination, and promised con-
gressional attempts to end the poll
tax in southern states. He said this
could only be accomplished if the
Republicans won majority in Con-
gress November Z.
Pickrel countered that Taft was
one of the men who controlled the
U. S. senate, with Democrats Harry
F. Byrd of Virginia and Walter F.
George of Georgia, ssoutherners
whose views on questions like this
he naturally had to cater to"
The Democratic candidate said
Taft could have done more against
discrimination, but instead had
used his vote to block measures of
benefit to Negroes and little peo-
pie" everywhere. Pickrel claimed
his opponent voted for only one of
five amendments to the bill Great

Burton (Rep., Ohio) voted for all

MIGRATION OF NEGROES
CAUSES HEAVY LOSS
in 50UTH'5 COTTON CROP

MEMPHIS, Oct. 9 (ANP)-Re-
cent immigration of Negro farm
help to northern cities has played
particular havoc to the cotton in
dustry which yearly averages
around 1,483,0O bales. Louisiana,
Virginia, Mississippi, eorgia,
South Carolina and Texas are listed
as great sufferers.
Almost all the southern states re-
port shrinkage in cotton harvest
ing. Louisiana ginning to Sept. Is
totaled 177,914 bales compared
with 372,840 on that date last year.
Arkansas officials say that the
labor shortage is affecting both the
picking and compress industry.
Eighteen of the states congresses
and warehouses have closed down,
due to this labor shortage.
In Alabama, more than a 100000
bale crop awaits picking, while
South's Carolina has IT'S bales to
be harvested.
The great shortage of Negro cot
ton pickers is in part accounted for
by a report by the department of
agriculture which was current a
year ago. The report was that Ne

tenants who desired to work on
other farms with changed employ

A.M.E. CHURCH ASKS NATION
TO PROTEST NEGRO PREJUDICE

Cleveland, Oct. 9 (ANP)-The
entire nation was called upon to
protest all forms Of prejudice
against Negroes and other minor
tiles. This resolution was approved
by the Northern Ohio conference
of the A.M.E. church in it's closing
session at Community A.M.E.
church here.
DR.. Joseph Gomez, pastor of st:
James church, offered the resolu-
ton. He also demanded for "all Ne
groes and other minorities an equal
share Of freedom and opportunity"
and pledged members of the con-
ference to further all efforts to OBJ
tain for such groups the social, po-
litical, religious and other rights
which lead to the fuller life guar
anteed by the constitution and in
generent in our democracy"
More than 300 ministers and
delegates attended the conference.

THE DAYTON SCHOOL
SITUATION FOR NEGROES
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
It is with interest that l have
read the letters to your paper re-
garding the protest of the Frontier
Club, which recently asked that the
Board of Education face realistic
ally the shameful school situation
in Dayton and take steps to remedy
it.
One thing stands out clearly and
it is this: that this group of citizens
is not attacking Principal MacFars-
lane as an individual, but as SYM
boil, an exponent of a philosophy
of segregation. The day has come
for Negroes to realize that demo-
cratic nation must include it's mi
norities, not as hyphenated Ameri-
cans, but as Americans with equal
ity of opportunity assured them in
practice as we'll as theory. Any seq
regated school is lie to all of the
idealistic, high-sounded phrases, to
which the most prejudiced citizens
do not hesitate to pay lip service.
Segrated schools stamp the
children who attend them as diff
ferent, if not inferior; they give
to those children concept of mot
belonging; they teach by the very
nature of their existence that there
are two worlds instead of one in
America and that it means one
thing to be born Negro and an
other thing to be born white. Stu
dents of psychology have given
much time for research to deter
mine the effect of segregation on
the personalities of Negro children
and have found that bitterness,
Illustrations, disillusionment, ag-
gressive behavior and insecurities
result from the knowledge that
they are native" but "foreign''
