Plain Talk!
By Dan Gardner

Despite all the criticism it has
and is being subjected to, our ma
tional war program is doing the
greatest job for the Negro since
Abe Lincoln set him free. 1t is
training a complete new crop of
competent, intelligent, courageous
leaders who'll take over on the
troubled domestic front as soon as
our armies march into Berlin and
Toxic. The Negro has Jagged be-
hind the rest of the minority groups
here in his native America in three
necessary phases of his mental
and physical makeup. He's lacked
mass education, mass discipline and
mass training in technical Jobs.
The army is giving him superb
training in all three. The spectacle

AFRO Editors Say
No to Red Cross!

By Carl Murphy, Editor Afro
American
The Red Cross has no great
need of money from colored peo-
pie or their blood. If it desires
our blood badly it would not in
suit US by jim-crowing our blood
plasma and marking it "colored."
If it wanted cOlOred cOntribu-
tons again, it would not seek to
humiliate US first, then ask us to
give.
In declining to give to the cur
rent Red Cross campaign, I wrote
the chairman, Chief Judge Sam
uel Dennis, as follows:
"The American Medical Asso-
citation, in discussing how I'M
scientific it is to segregate blood
according to race, points out that
in the making of some serums,
even urine and feces of animals
are used.
THE Red Cross would have us
believe then that the blood of
eOlOred people is below that of
the urine of animals.
"In Canada and Great Britain,
blood banks are not segregated.
With due respect to you
and a number of fine Americans
who are connected with the Red
Cross, don't want anything to
do with it."
The current issue of The Crisis,
in discussing this question, ad-
vises cOlOred people to give to
the Red Cross but to accompany
their contributions with a note of
protest.
AS 1 see it, the best protest is
NOT to give.
Editors note: Mr.. Murphy is
editor of the Afro-American news
papers of Baltimore, Washington,
Philadelphia and Richmond which
have 100000 ABC paid circulation.

lesson the white man has tried
for centuries to keep from them
through the necessity of their use
to combat a common enemy.
Constructive criticism of the
failure of the army and the armed
forces in general to break down
the bars of discrimination and seq
regation should continue by all
means. But this criticism must be
constructive if it is to be at all
effective. The fact that Negroes
today are more sensitive than Jews
on the race question shows that the
policy of criticizing without rhyme
or reason just for the exercise,
more or less, has had a bad effect.
A reason for this situation as per-
tains to Negroes is that criticism
has gotten out of bounds in that
there is no central channel through
which such criticism can be strained
of excess verbage and pointed
along one consistent line. This
brings up the fact that the lack of
the one thing all Negroes want has
never been stated.
The favOrs the army and
the armed forces are doing for
the Negro are thus lost under
the barrage of complaints that
flood the war department, the
White House and the various gov
ernmental agencies who have the
Job to service racial minOrities. The
constructive thing, it would seem,
would be to recognize the advan-
tages military training under war
time conditions offer the Negro
race as a whole, and to demand
more of them. Once these are
obtained, then seems the time to
demand more of the other things
we all want. Right now the con-
tinual howl for more Negro combat
divisions seems to gain little or
no response from the men most con-
cerned-the men in the service. 1t
is felt by them, and l have talked
to hundreds, that they're doing all
right as they are-getting highly
technical training free, getting ex-
ercise and instruction in clean,
wholesome living without getting
shot up and killed.
The boys in the camps and those
overseas aren't registering the COM
plants. The complaints that pour
into the War Department are from
men too old or too scared to tote
a gun and who refused to join the
Boy Scouts when they were kids
so afraid were they of a uniform.
Professional agitators, however,
have their place and use. While the
soldiers and sailors aren't squawk-
ing about inactivity in so far as
battle action is concerned, the fact
remains that to build records for
the future, the Negro must in many
instances, be prepared to make the
supreme sacrifice. The question in
the minds of those on the sacrificial
altar is: "All of US shouldn't be
killed. If we are, who's going to be
alive to come back to lead the race
in the greater fight it faces after
the war is over?"

Hold Fast

Give out give ALL but don't give in,
Tough or easy, life's worth Twin,
Take it all with heart undaunted
Your surrenders always wanted.
Look up, look out, but don't look down,
Keep just your feet upon the ground,
Win or lose, run each race out,
Concede-but never face about.
Contend, defend, but don't depend,
Without some snare folks seldom lend,
Great favors oft are won by TACT
Yet all is lost when none's paid back.
Bow low bow down, but don't bow out,
Confidence can stave off rout,
The moment folks think they don't need you,
They're choosing someone to succeed you.
Hold on, hold high, hold fast,
You must hold firm if you're to last,
Don't lose your grip, you can't relax,
One slip, your neck the well-ground axe!

FAILS TO RECEIVE DEEDS APPOINT mENT
CRYSTAL BIRD FAU5ET
QUITS DEMOCRATS

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-
(ANP) Resentment over failure
to be appointed recorder of deeds
to succeed DR.. William J. Thomp-
kins, who died a few weeks ago,
is back of Mrs. Crystal Bird Fau-
sets decision to quit the Demo-
cratic party, where she had been
a key figure for 10 years, and sup
port Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the
current campaign, according to
Philadelphia leaders. The recorder
post went to the Rev. Marshall
Shepard, former co-worker and
fellow Philadelphia.
Mrs. Fauset resigned after serv-
ing nine months on the Democratic
committee. Immediately after her
resignation she gave an interview
stating she would occupy an i'm
portant place in the Republican
campaign this year. She was one
on the first to greet Mr.. Dewey
when he arrived here for a cam
paign speech and sat on the plat
form that night.
According to local politicians,
Mrs. Fauset's disagreement with
the Democratic party dates from
the time that DR.. Thompkins be-
came seriously i'll. It was then that
she reputedly demanded that she
be named his successor. Officials
are understood to have told her
than no woman had ever been given
this job which is considered one
of the highest political plums
awarded in Washington.
Frustrated, she allegedly con-
tacted Dave Lawrence, Democratic
National committeeman from Penn
sylvania, and Sen. Joseph Guffey
to enlist their aid. Meanwhile the
Rev. Marshall Shepard had already
received their support and was
named recorder. Mrs. Fauset had
previously worked with DR.. Shep.
ard and was thought to be or
friendly terms with him. However
| his appointment was resented by
her and the breach between Mrs
Fauset and Democratic officials be-
came increasingly furious, ending
in her resignation.
