naval OFFICER WRITES OF DIXIE Jim CROW

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 (ANP)-
It. Comdr. Edgar Brooks writes of
his experience with race tension on
a bus from Winston-Salem to
Union, SC, in the November issue
of Headlines and Pictures. The
lieutenant commander recounts
several incidents that occurred on
the trip between the anti-Negro
driver and several Negro passen-
gers
Brooke's conclusion is not very
hopeful for the south "The most
dismaying feature of the whole sit
uation was this; 1t was clearly i'm
possible for either whites or Ne
groes here to achieve tolerance to-
ward the other race and nothing
else will do he says.
No man could make that Negro
soldier alter his way of thinking
and feeling; nothing could ade-
quately lift his powers of under
standing; nothing soften his sense
of persecution and permit fore
giveness.
And, clearly no one could make
that bus driver realize how tragic
ally guilty, sadistic, unjust he was.
l hate nigger,' he had said. Who
could teach him better?"
Also featured in the bylines sec
tion of Headlines and Pictures for
November is the debate reprinted
from the Key Reporter between
DR.. Broadus Mitchell of the Inter-
national Ladies Garment Workers
union, and editor Virginius Dab
ney of Richmond, Va, on whether
Phi Beta Kappa, national honor So
ciety, should establish new chap
ters at colleges which discriminate
against Negroes.
DR.. Mitchell believes that Phi
Beta Kappa should refuse to give
chapters to schools which discrim-
mate while Mr.. Dabney argues that
such action would antagonize the
south as did abolitionist literature
before the Civil war.

Wilmington, Shocked By Death, Acclaims
Roosevelt As Statesman, World Leader

News Of the death of President
Roosevelt yesterday afternoon
found Wilmingtonians stunned.
Many proclaimed the incident as a
great tragedy not only to the
United States, but to the world.
Slightly more than an hour after
the announcement of the Presi-
dents death from the White House,
the City's first memorial service
was held at the First Presbyterian
church, which was attended by
more than 100 persons.
The City's streets were bare of
people less than an hour after the
announcement, with the last of the
afternoon workers hurrying home
to stand by their radios for fur
TIER news, and other service men
and civilians standing in small
groups on street corners discussing
the unbelievable tragedy.
Mayor w. Ronald Lane asserted
that President Roosevelt was the
greatest man of all time" He ex-
pressed his death as not only a
loss to the United States, "but to
the world"
The Mayor said last night that
he expected to call a special ses-
sion of the City Council this morn
ing for the adoption of resolution
in the death of the President.
"Mr. Roosevelt is a martyr of
freedom. Christ Rongotes, Greek
restaurant proprietor said, land his
death is a blow not only to my
adopted country, but also to my
native land. 1t is sad that he could
not have lived to see Berlin under
the American flag. The whole
world will miss him, and he will
be remembered as one of the
greatest men in history"
When asked whether or not he
thought that the Chief Executives
death would retard the war eff
fort, Rongotes said that it may act
as an incentive to make the Allies
progress faster.

him always as a kindly, thought
full, happy man, with laughter and
gay banter on his lips and cour'
age and high vision in his heart.
In the shock that word OF his
sudden passing brought with 1t, my
mind went back to the hour thai
I heard that he had been stricken
with infantile paralysis. That was
after his campaign for the Vice
Presidency in 1920.
I knew soon thea that he would
never walk again as other men
walked. wondered what that blow
must mean to him.
A bedridden life, or one doomed
to a wheeled chair, would be a
terrible outlook for him, thought.
But I was wrong. I know now
that never for moment did his
dauntless courage fail him. Never
did he accept any verdict that ne
must stand aside in his affliction
and watch the life he loved 60 by
his window.
Of all the tales that have been
or can be told of Franklin Roose-
welt, I think I like best ones told
me long ago by Louie Howe, many
years dead now himself, his great
ambition in life accomplished when
he saw Franklin Roosevelt enter
the White House.

Roosevelt home not long after
Franklin was stricken. He lay ir
