Dewey, in ST. Louis,
Begins 2-Day Meeting
With Is Governors
Maps Domestic Proerom
To Stond os Cornerstone
Of Presidential Compoiqn
BY ]. A. OLEARY,
Star Staff Correspondeut

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
today began a two-day meeting
with the Is other Republican
Governors to draw up a domestic
program that may become the
cornerstone of his campaign for
the presidency.
Although the conference has been
described as an effort to iron out
conflicts between the Federal and
State governments in the handling
Iof joint problems any decisions
reached are bound to be regarded
as a supplement to the Republican
platform.
Gov. Dewey arrived here early this
morning after another day of cam
paign spade work in Springfield, ILL.,,
in which he followed his new tech
nique of holding round table dis
cussions with delegations from the
main voter groups. as well as with
local Republican leaders.
Home front Strategy.
1t was regarded as significant that
on the eve of the Governors con-
ference the Republican presidential
nominee emphasized both in Pitts
burgh and Springfield that the man
elected this November will be q
peace time President.
Some observers saw in this q
clear indication that the Repub-
lican strategy will be to center their
campaign on home-front problems,
on the assumption that the war has
entered the final stage, and that
the administration Is more vulner-
able on those issues than on the
conduct Of the war. 1t has the
added advantage OF minimizing the
Democratic effort to rely on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's role as wartime
commander in chief.
II this Is to be the blueprint Of
the Republican, strategy, their big
|gest asset is to direct the attention
of the country to the fact that
three-fourths of the American peo-
pie already have turned over the
direction Of their State governments
to the COP In 26 States.
Tws-day Csnferencs.
This two-day conference In st.

Backs 'Staies' Rights
JobIess Pay Measure
Two Million Federol
Workers Would Get
Benefits Under Bill
B, the Associated Press.

A States rights" unemploy-
ment compensation bill. leaving
to each State control of benefit
rates and standards, was ap-
proved unanimously today by
the Senate Finance Committee.
Acting less than "a hours after
the measure was introduced by
Chairman George, the committee
thus got the jump on the Senate
Military Affairs Committee-sched-
uled to meet tomorrow to consider
rival bills under which Congress
would "Federalize' the compensa-
ton program for discharged wal
workers"
These bills would set uniform
rates of compensation up to $35 q
week with the Federal Government,
paying the balance over State ben.
efits, now ranging from $l3 to 81
weekly.
Would Aid Federal Workers.
The George proposal would bring
an estimated 1000, 900 Federal en-
ployes-among them workers in
Government arsenals and shipyards
-under the State compensation
programs. The Federal Govern
ment, however, would reimburse the
States for benefits paid to them.
It also would set up q Federal
revolving fund from which the
States could borrow to maintain
solvency Of their own funds.
Senator George said the States
rights" bill would be reported to the
Senate tomorrow, but that debate
probably would not begin until next
Tuesday.
A bitter controversy Is developing
between advocates OF the State
control policy and legislators favor
Ing the broadened Federal aid
program.

NO CONCRETE ACTION
is NOTED

The white man throws all of
these messages into the waste
basket and continues his sport of
booting the Negro around. It is
rare that after these conferences"
of highly educated representatives
of Americas 20,OOO,OOO Negroes
that one hears of actual, concrete
effort involving meeting the white
man on his own grounds. They
have learned too we'll in school the
lesson that "you can't beat the
white man" and that "there's no
use to try"
The cynics point out that the
Negro has been educated into a
feverish desire for the white mans
luxuries and his standard of living
and that when he attains even the
slightest resemblance of stability,
comfort or prosperity, he rapidly
loses all idea of actual fight for
what is rightfully his. That's
when the letter writing begins and
when resolutions" start filing
mailboxes. The whole system of
education of the Negro is subtle
and complex, yet, it is as apparent
as a billboard advertisement. It
is, however, far beyond the COM
prehension of the average. Negro
who seeks to understand what he is
and why he is what he is.
SchoOled in InferiOrity
To begin with, the Negro is be-
ing taught inferiority in the
schools from the first grade on.
Starting with the Little Black
Sambo" stories, he is led, step by
step, through an elaborate fairy
land of unbelievable adventures in
which white characters are the
heroes and heroines.
He is taught to think that Snow
White was the most beautiful of
all girls. White cutthroats, robbers
and highwaymen are glamorized
and Robin Hood becomes a symbol
of white supremacy greater in
magnitude than King Menelik of
Ethiopia of whom the schoolbooks
say nothing. Angels are white as
their wings and the pearly gates
are resplendently ivory in color. AL
though the Negro hasn't seen God,
he is taught to know that he is a
big white man somewhere with
whom the Negro eventually must
make an accounting.
