ASSOCIATION TRIES TO KEEP

the present instance, that it does
not represent the Negro in its Char

White House to Rescue
The spirit of President Roose-
welt, however, has not died with his
body. 1t was in that spirit of JUS
tice that the only Negro White
House correspondent was neverthe-
less admitted to the funeral SER
vices. Like his appearances at the
White House for presidential con-
ferences and other news confer
ences, his presence was not approx
ed by the White House Cores
pondents' Association. The White
House OK'd his attendance. In
stead of one of IL news and radio
men, he was one of Is.
President Truman is faced with
a tremendous job. He will have
to show the same courage as did
Roosevelt in combating the oily
white" influences with which he is
surrounded if he hopes to maintain
the respect, support, and votes Of
Negro Americans as did Roosevelt,
The White House Correspondents
Association tried to give him bad
start.

R. J. H.: Please help me. 1 love
my wife very deeply but we can't
seem to get along lovely and hap
PLY as we once did. She never tells
me that she loves me any more.
Has her love for me cooled? Tell
me what to do?
Ans: Your wife will never be
able to take marriage as matter of
factly as you do and she will al
ways have to be wOOed and con-
tinually treasured of your love if
she is to respond. A woman pre-
fers a lover any day to a serious
minded prOvider bear this in
mind and become both. Love has
to be kept alive with affection, ten
derness and devotion if the fame
is to be kept aglOw.
M. ]. S.: I am writing for ad-
vice. I am a widow and 1 have a
boy friend and we have been going
together six years. I work hard
and try to do the best l can and
1 am true to him but it looks like
he doesn't understand or some
thing. We don't get along so well
now. I think that if we were to
get married, we would get along
better and want to know what
you think?
Ans: If a man doesn't put on
his good behavior and cooperate

from town to town. Every place
they sing, the women just fall out
over his voice and it has gotten
the best of him. Of course he has
always run after women but not
quite this badly. What should do?
Ans: The responsibility of rear
ing children should be shared by
both parents, if the job is to be
done well. This child needs her
fathers influence as much as she
does yours. Travelling as he is do
ing is all right for a single man
but for a man with a family, 1t
doesn't work out so well. EncOur-
age him to get regular employment
there at home and if he has any
extra time to devote to his hobby
(singing) he can make connections
with some local choir. Once you
can make him realize his family
obligations he will be less likely
to waste his time with other
women.

Negro in the last twelve years has
progressed more, educationally,
economically and in health than
they had for a century previous to
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's presi-

forward. We truly lost a great
friend"
Mrs. Albertha McElroy, 4O41
Clinton Ave, housewife. - THE
passing of our beloved President,
was a great loss to the common
man. His untimely death was a
great shock, not only to this nation,
but to the universe as nothing else
has ever been. Upon hearing the
news of his death from small boy
in a drug store downtown, l was so
stunned that it was several min
utes before 1 fully realized the
meaning of his words. Even now
l cannot realize the man, whose
deeds were as warm as his fireside
chats, will be heard no more. Sun
day, as l whistled the hymn, He'll
Understand at a tea which was
dedicated to him, it seemed as if he
was there. l was delighted to have
the honor of paying such a small
tribute to such a great man."
A. F. Martin, 27S7 18th Ave. &c.,
minister.-"A great world citizen
has passed off the stage in the
death of our President, Franklin
D. Roosevelt. He knew the prob
lens of all human beings, as no
man in this generation knew them.
He now belongs to the ages. 1t
took America almost a century to
develop a successor to the illus
trious Lincoln in America and
world politics. And when we had
almost despaired of finding such a
one, the Lord gave US Franklin D.
Roosevelt to meet the worlds
greatest crisis. He sleeps today, but
the principles for which he fought
and died will live and breathe
throughout the ages to come"
Mrs. Theodore Dean, 1901 Bryant
Ave. No.-"The death of the Presi-
dent, Franklin D. Roosevelt, rocked
the world. After we recovered from
the shock, it was as if a great
friend or still a very dear relative
had passed away. Franklin D.
Roosevelt was a man who had the
good of the Negro at heart. He
made mistakes, yes, but he also
did more to open the way for the
race than any other man. The
Negro must realize there were
things we thought he should do,
but did not, because there were GER
tain political obstacles which he
could not puncture. President
Roosevelt was striving for a better
deal for the little man and for a
better world"

was in his presence this last time.
l sat through the funeral services
in the East Room of the White
House with twelve other news and
radio men and about 200 mourners,
picturing him as the dynamic,
humane friend of mankind. l
would not want to spoil that picture
by seeing him in death.
And as I sat there, l pondered-
how fortunate 1 am that l should
not only benefit with the rest of the

Christ-like goodness and sense of
fair play, but that l should have

before marriage, he certainly will
not do it afterwards. Apparently,
his indifference is due to a lack of
love on his part. You have been
going with this man for six years
and if he can't make up his mind
in this period of time then you
should seek other friends. You want
home and marriage until
you find an eligible prospect, don't
devote all of your time to one man.

Bv HARRY McALPIN


Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-Be-
fore President Roosevelt's body
could be reverently placed under
ground, some of the forces he held
in check by his courage, personality
and insistence on what is right were
flaring up anew.
The White House Correspondents
Association, which controls news
gathering at the White House and
which has never accepted into men,
bership the only Negro White
House Correspondent, deliberately
excluded that Negro from the
funeral services for the deceased
President in the East Room.
The fault was not President Tru-
mans. He had no knowledge of the
incident. Even had he known, he
could, perhaps, have done nothing
about it. The funeral was Roose-
welt family affair. The arrange
nents were in the hands of the
White House staff. Mrs. Roose-
welt, too, had been relieved of all
"details.
At a conference between the rep
resentatives of the White House
Correspondents Association, radio,
md Jonathan Daniels, White House
Press Secretary, a decision was
reached to allow only IL newsmen
and radio men into the services be-
cause of the limited space in the
East Room. The room will accom-
modate only about 200 people
hardly enough to take care of the
family and intimate friends, the
cabinet members, and representa-
tives of the legislative, Judiciary,
Army, Navy and diplomatic corps.
Drop Negro Press Representative
This conference decided that all
elements of the press and radio
would be represented among the
II press and radio men on a pool
basis. At conclusion of the con-
ference on Friday evening, the Ne
gro press was advised it would be
represented on the basis of repre-
sensations made in its behalf. Sat-
urday morning, however, the line
up had been changed to allow for
the inclusion of the representatives
of two more individual papers. The
Negro press had been dropped I'M
tremendously off the list.
First Move By Association
1t was only because President
Roosevelt had ordered White House
press credentials issued to a repre-
sentative of the Atlanta Daily
World that Negroes now get White
House news directly from its source
with the interpretations as it aft
fects Negroes. But Roosevelt is
now gone and the white press,
through the White House Cor
respondents Association, has made
its first move to try to again ex-
clude the Negro.
The situation is parallel to the
cases recently decided in the United
States Supreme Court and the Su-
preme Court of California. The
former decided in the Tunstall and
Steele cases that a union acting as
bargaining representative of a
craft or class must do so without
discrimination because of race. The
California court held in the Boiler
makers case that a union cannot
insist on a "closed shop" and at the
same time exclude persons from
membership because of their race.
The White House Correspondents
Association has exclusive bargain
ing" rights where the working of
newspaper men in the White House
is concerned. 1t makes the rules
and adopts procedures. 1t has re-
fused to act on the application of

these areas and their populal
Walter White, New York Pos
turn here today from a four
months, S6,OOO-mile tour of the
Pacific theatres of war.
MANY more lives will be lost and
more dollars spent before Japa-
nese Imperialism and aggression
are crushed. But it was dishearten-
ing to find everywhere calm accept
ance Of the fact that no other
course is even thought Of except to
reestablish colonial empire. The
rights of native peoples to share IN
the benefits of raw materials and
their own labor are completely I'M
thought of, except by the natives
themselves. Their poverty, physl-
cal condition and educational dis
advantages are a terrible indict-
ment of their British, Dutch and
French exploiters. They are be-
wildered and dismayed that win
ming a war for freedom means no
change in their status.
Before it is too late the govern
ment and people of the United
States must wake up to what is
happening in the Pacific and make
it clear to allies and enemies alike
that we are not fighting this war
to restore colonial systems which
inevitably will breed another war.
Mr.. Churchill announced recently
that the question of colonies will
not be discussed at the United
Nations Security Conference in Sa'
Francisco this month. Mr.. Churchill
is a great war leader. But whether
he wishes it or not, colonial policy
must not only be discussed but act
ed upon now. To do otherwise
would play directly into Japan's
hands in her vigorous propaganda
among one billion yellow, brown
and black people in Asia and Africa
that the sole purpose of the So
called white nations is to enslave
colored peoples throughout the
world.
Additional bewilderment has
been created throughout the Pacific,
1 found, by the prejudice of some
American white soldiers, particu-
larly officers, against Negroes" "
said Mr.. White. Everywhere l
went 1 was asked how the United
States, fighting a war against the
racial theories of Hitler and Japan,
could send two armies-one white
and one Negro-to fight such a
war. AS had previously found in
the European, North African and
Italian theatres of war, not only
bewilderment but anti-American
feeling was created by the attempts
of some American whites to spread
race hatred in the Pacific. This
was contributed to greatly by the
confinement of Negro troops almost
exclusively to service instead OF
combat duty. But in conferences
with Admiral Chester Nimitz and
General Douglas Macarthur, assur-
ance was given that in future
phases of the war in the Pacific,
more opportunity would be given to
Negro combat units"
Mr.. White, who arrived in San
Francisco, April 5th, after a 381z-
hour flight from Australia in a
B-24 plane, made the first report
of his Pacific trip to the NAACP
Board of Directors meeting Mon
day afternoon, April 9, in the ma
tional office, SO Fifth Avenue.
