A Canard Spiked

President Truman said on Thursday that
'he knew nothing of report that General
Macarthur had Threatened to resign. Then
Yesterday General Macarthur added his en-
phatic denial to the report, which originated
in broadcast by Larry Tighe on the Arneri-
can Broadcasting Company staff.
That ought to make it convincing, particu-
larly as the General, in his statement, de-
clsres the Tighe report 'has absolutely nc
truth in it, and that 81 am here (Tokyo)

government 1t is my purpose to see the thing

Mr.. Tighe, in broadcast following Gen.
eral MacArthurs denial, explains that he re-
ceived his information from reliable and
honest source He did not imply, he declares,
that the Supreme Commander, himself, in
dulged in name calling and recriminations
with the Russians, but II reaffirm the story
which l previously broadcast. :"
It is unfortunate that General Macarthur
should be placed in such an embarrassing
position. While we can well understand that
the Russian attitude regarding the occupation
of Japanese home islands and other serious
problems concerned with restoring peace and
establishing harmony in Asia has been calcu-
lated to disturb the General, it is the serious

RALEIGH, Dec. 21-Despite the
handicaps incident to the unset
tied world situation which pre-
vailed during 1945 prior to and i'm.
mediately following the close Of
the war, the public schools OF
North Carolina are in a healthy
condition and continue to improve
in effectiveness in their efforts to
provide educational opportunities
to all the boys and girls of the
state.
1t is true, as we all know, that
the schools have had many prob.
lens to solve during the year
the teacher shortage, the lack OF
building materials. the limitation
Of equipment, supplies and ade-
quate teaching materials. But TAX
ing the situation as whole, ]
think we have made a great deal OF
progress.
In the first place, we have been
able to maintain a majority Of our
administrative personnel. Even
where requirements were neces-
sary on account of war service,
the substitutes have been men OF
high standing and well qualified
to carry on the administrative at.
fairs incident to the operat ton of
the schools. Several administra-
tive positions have been filled with
men of broad training and expert
ence, replacing men who have re.
tired or resigned to enter private
business.
Another sign of the healthy
growth of the schools has been the
increased interest on Institutional
supervision. Within the past year
several of the counties have en-
ployed supervisors of instruction
to work with teachers in the i'm.
provement of teaching methods
and in unifying the whole program
of Institutional service.
AS to the teachers we are all
aware of the shortage of well
qualified teachers in some fields
ever since the war began. This
year has been no exception. But
still the picture hasn't been to
dark. We have been able to op-
crate except in very few in
stances; and now with both men
and women returning from indus
try and war service, the service is

The German Middle

Conditions in Germany are far from salts
factory Crushed and with little spirit to take
hold of rehabilitsti ton in a thoroughly con-
structive way, because they lack true home
leadership, the Germans seem both apathetic
about their future and venemous toward the
occupying forces.
Perhaps the blame lies with the Allied de-
cision to divide the country into zones to be
ruled by stats of four nations-the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and France It
might have been better to consolidate
occupation, though in this case it would
be task for Solomon to decide which
of the Allied nations should have the No. l
man on the ground, and what means could
be employed to maintain harmony among the
others, not to mention the greater difficulty
of maintaining harmony among the native
population and getting the people of the land
back to gainful work.
The Star has been particularly puzzled by
the insistence that Germany be converted into
q democracy after so many centuries of rule
by monarchs both in the separate states be-
empire itself.
It has seemed that conversion of the Ger
man race to democracy is as hopeless a task
as converting the Japanese to Christianity.
They have been accustomed to following a
leader for so long time, it appears impos-
sible to force them to accept a responsible
part in nations affairs on the democratic
principle of peoples rule through selecting Of
ficisls by popular vote.
The Star has no alternative to offer. In fact
it hopes that the Germans may of their own
accord turn to democracy. But to bring this
about some power must invoke miracle
and so far as is now discernable this power
has not put in IN appearance.
Very definitely, Germany is not looming
to- after its military collapse, nor does it ap
pear possible that it ever will under the exist
ing arrangement. And an unproductive Ger
many would hold Europe back as nothing
less than another war could do.

formation and guidance service
continues to render assistance to
schools having counselors or de-
string assistance in the setting up
of a permanent record system with
guidance service as an ultimate
goal to be added.
3. Along with this adjustment
in the vocational program plans
have been initiated to revise the
standards or the entire high school
program. A bulletin setting forth
the high school plans beginning
next year, which will witness the
first graduating class under the
twelve-year program inaugurated
in 1912, is now in preparation.
This publication will empha size the
larger type high school as nee
essity before we can truly provide
our boys and girls with an oppor-
ortunity of that education neces-
sary to meet the demands of this
atomic age. This program is in
process of being enriched and
broadened not only with standard
up-to-date textbook materials, but
with information concerning the
states natural resources.
4. Finally, plans are being made
in a number of places for the
erection of new buildings of various
kinds and for filling the present
school needs-new classrooms, au-
dltoriums, gymnasiums, teacher.
ages, and shops and other neces-
sary buildings. A school building
program, entailing an expenditure
of from 20 to 30 million dollars, is
necessary in order to provide
standard housing facilities for all
of our school children.

YOUR G. |. RIGHTS

in two months.
A. You can start prepring
your trousseau now. That outfit is
due to arrive in the United States
about the end of December. 1t is

gether.
A. That outfit is at Liege, Bel.
GUM, apparently on occupation
duty. 1t is hard to tell when he
will return. It depends on his
point score.
Q. l have received no mail from
my brother since Oct. 81. when he
wrote he was being changed to
33Oth Infantry Regiment. APO
%. Can you tell me why I should
have had no mail since then?
A. His address indicates he is
with the 83rd Division, on oc-
cupation duty at Deggendorf, Ger
many, according to latest reports.
You should hear from him very
soon. The change was probably
responsible for the delay.
@. My son is with the Headquar-
ters Company, 82nd Medical Batta-
lion, 18th Armored Division. Is it
possible that he will be home by
Christmas?
A. He probably will be. That
outfit sailed the last part of
November.

in favor of each of the three
measures proposed for the pro-
lection of minorities and opposed
by a small filibustering minority
the anti-lynch bill, the anti-poll
tax bill, and the permanent
FEPC bill. When the majority
gets ready to vote, this small
minority settles down to talk
talk for two hours, 10 hours, "a
hours, any length of time, until
the majority holds up its hands,
lays aside its bill, and goes on
to other business. Most of the
Republicans CLAIM to be in fav-
or of these bills. The Demo-
cratic vote plus the Republicans
vote would close debate and auto
matically pass the bill at issue.
But at this juncture, the Republic
cans hold up their hands in hor-
ror and say, ooh no, we can't
close debate that's un-Ameri-
can" They probably mean, it is
un-American to use cloture to
protect Negroes, Catholics, Jews,
Mexicans, and so on.
Republicans probably feel that
they cannot afford to assist a
Democratic majority to pass
measures which Republican ma
jorities have refused to pass ever
since the War between the States.
The Republican party today
serves the Negro with its mouth
and disoWns him with its acts.
A portion of the Democratic
party disowns him with its
mouth, while the bigger portion
Arkansas State press., 1945-12-28
serves him with its acts.

The cloture rule was made by
Americans who considered it un-
American for a few persistent
takers to prevent legislation es-
sential to the general welfare, and
certainly the Negro wants no
legislation which is contrary to
the general welfare. The persis-
tent acceptance of defeat by an
overwhelming majority is sus-
picious.
Perhaps it is time for the
Negro to investigate the merits
Of one of the minor parties. There
have been times in our history
when major parties have gone out
of existence and minor parties
have come into power, because
the major powers evaded critical
issues which were being daring
ly faced by minor parties.

tanning highlights of the plenary
sessions of the united nations con-
ference is to watch the interpreters
work.
The other day, during arguments
over an issue, two Spanish speak
ing delegates took opposite sides.
The first one rose and delivered an
impassioned speach in Spanish.
The interpreter with great pas
sion and much waving of arms and
theatrical gestures repeated the
speech in English.
The second Spanish speaking
delegate rose and delivered a speech
taking exactly the opposite view.
The same interpreter translated
the speech, using an exactly equal
amount of passion and ferver he
had shown a moment before when
arguing on the opposite side.
The audience laughed so much it
almost broke up the meeting.

Downtown cab drivers became in

following the fatal knitting Of Leo
Brickin, who picked two Harlem
ties up at the Pennsylvania station
and drove uptown where he was
stabbed to death during an argu-
ment over the $1.50 cab fare.
Detective George Webber, crack
sleuth Of the w. 135th Street police
station, was assigned to head the
investigation but it was admitted
that he had little to go on.
Brickin, white, was slain in the
"Striver's Row" block Of 139th
street, one of the most fashionable
neighborhoods in mid-Harlem. It
was said that he left his cab to fol-
low his passengers in the hope of
collecting the money.
News Of the Staying was promin-
emily displayed in some daily news
papers and, as a result, hundreds of
white taxicab drivers are refusing
to pick up Negro passengers on the
assumption that Harlem is prob
ably their destination.
