Race In N. Y.

NEW YORK - (SNS) - BenJa-

didate for the City Council from
the borough of Manhattan, last
week made slashing attack on
Communist Councilman, Ben Davis.
for his reported intentions Of urg-
log the establishment of a BLACK
Republic In the Is Southern states.
Davis was under heated attack
throughout the city for other rea-
sons from prominent citizens and
leaders of all racial groups.
McLarrin stated, continuing his
attack on Davis plan for mass seq
regation of Negroes, that This
proposal is the most dangerous poll
lev to be advanced in America con-
corning the relationship Of Negroes
and whites since the Civil War. 1t
would place the Negro back in
slavery and wipe away the results
of the struggles for progress and
equality that Negroes and whites
have sought for the past 300 years.
ut would mean the uprooting of
millions of Southern whites who
would lose their businesses and 9TH
err possessions, plus the mass de-
portation Of millions of Northern
Negroes. This dastardly plan would
stop Negroes from being United
States citizens with the freedom to
live anywhere within its borders
and it would limit us exclusively
to being citizens of a "Black Re-
public" in the Southern states. This
is the Russians approach to its
darker race problem and it is re-
pugnant to enlightened Americans
of all races.
How revealing it is to see tc
what length Ben Davis will go In

That recent decision of Wayne

Whereas the judge did not say a

in effect, say that promise OF a

equal to a brick and-mortar house

Jim Crow Prevents Rochester"
From Army Tour With Jack Benny
Letter From
Orson Welles
Reveals Point

HOLLYWOOD - amp - Jim
crow is the real reason why "Ro-
chester" did not m axe a tour OF
the various fronts with Jack
Benny.
That information was disclosed
in a recent letter to Jack Benny
by Orson Welles in which Welles
pointed out how Benny informed a
general that he and Rochester, ;"
Eddie Anderson, were friends.
Said the Welles letter:
"A friend of ours who's toured
with you tells me that a general
asked you that question cWhy
doesn't Jack take Rochester?D in
North Africa and that you answer
ed something like this:
HE'S A NEGRO
"Well, I'll tell you sir, Rochester
would like to come and / know the
boys would like to see him but you
would like to see him but you see,
general, he's a Negro"
1.-THE general said he couldn't see
why Rochester should be embar-
raised. Suppose he were here, for
instance said the general. We
could put him up very comfortably
in the Negro barracks. He'd get
every consideration.
'Then, our friend says, you told
the general very politely, why that
wouldn't do at all Rochester Is a
part played by Eddie Anderson
you said. Rochester is my servant
but Eddie Anderson is a member Of
nv troupe. We've worked together
and lived together for years. When
Eddie's with me, 1 don't go any
place he isn't allowed to go. That
means that if you didn't invite
him here to the officers mess for
dinner, I couldn't come either. I'd
have to stick with Eddie because
we're friends, and that's the way
it is
GENERAL SURPRISED
"You mean,' said the general,
that Rochester would expect to
eat and sleep in the same places
that you do?'
I mean that I'd expect him to-
you told the general, and that end
ed the conversation.
"Jack, I'm writing you to- ask the
generals question and the GI's
question all over again: Jack,

NEW YORK (ANP) - Negro
sailors have made sea history in
World War II and four OF them
have emerged as captains Of their
ships.
All of this has happened since
1912 and lis dramatically told in
John Beecher's book, "All Brave
Sailors" which features the strug-
giles of Capt. Hugh Mulzac. the
first of the four Negro sailors to
win a ships captaincy.
Although born IN the British
West Indies, Capt Mulzac has been
an American citizen since World
War /. He came here after COM
plotting his nautical training In
Wales, which is said to have been
financed by his white father. but
discovered that his chances were
blocked by the color of his skin
and racial heritage. He could not
find employment on the deck OF
any ship and soon became strand
ed in this country.
CALLED ~ HERE
He held a second mates ticket
in England at Is but when he
came here in search OF work ne
was called a I'll" for the flrst
time in his life.
IF this is the land of freedom
they talk about, never want to
come back" he remarked sadly.
His break came during World
War /. He was granted an Ameri-
can second mates license and a
lob. He passed his masters exam
nation with the highest grade ever
known in Baltimore in 1920, accord
ing to merchant marine records.
Even though he held a masters tic
ket, he couldn't get a masters
berth. He worked as ship steward,
as a painter and for Marcus Gar
vey's Black Star line. He was one
of the founders of the National
Maritime union.
VICTORY FINALLY WON
Capt. Mulzac faced the same race
handicap during the early months
Of the present war. His application
was rejected by the War Shipping
administration, although the call
had been made for qualified off,

National Negro congress, the NMU,
