The four Harry Fleisher,
Myron (Mike) Selik, Pete Ma
honey and Sam Fleisher-were
bound over a week ago after JUS
tice Court examination.
Theodore I. Rogers, counsel
for Selik, Mahoney and Harry
Fleisher, said he was "reasona-
bly, sure my clients will be freed
today"
Counsel for Sam Fleisher told
tie court that he did not know
if his client could make bail.
Judge Hatch in his ruling held
tie $4,000 bail excessive but
denied a defense plea to cut il
to $500 because, the Court
said, it was IAN extraordinary
case"
Rogers said Harry Fleisher's
son, wounded in service, was
home on furlough and that he
thought Fleisher should have
IAN opportunity to 60 home and
see him."

Practice law in New York are milestones of pro-
gress.
Proof that this is popular movement lies in
the fact that Fair Employment Practice bills are
being pushed in Ohio, Massachusetts, Indiana Wash
ington, New Jersey, Michigan and other states. The
widespread activity in behalf of permanent Fed
eral FEPC law and Federal anti-poll tax measure
provide further proof of the popular character of
this new movement
1t is important to remember also that this legis-
lative campaign is no sense nationalistic Negroes
have found strong allies in the labor movement and
among other minorities as well as among growing
group of rank and file whites who sincerely believe
that democracy must be made to work for all the
people
We believe that no matter how loud the white
supremacsts scream, no matter how violent they
may appear there is plenty factual evidence to sus
tain the hope that some of the worst abuses of
rights as citizens will be modified in the days ahead
The millennium is not around the corner, but there is
no excuse for sterile defeatsm today. The chances
seem to be that our children at least will be per-
mitted to breathe little more freely than their
parents. This is what is called the long view and we
hope, for democracys sake as we'll as our own, that
it is true view too.

THE SIESTA

The gimlet-eyed investigators of the Mead COM
mittee had tough time in the old town at first but
they wound up having little fun Out at Packard's
they caught colored brother in the arms of Nor
pheus and the Committee hearings which were
about to flop took on new life One erring brother
was enough to make the headlines and the success
of the committees visit in fair city was assured
When two other colored brothers out at Pack
ards won production awards and governmental
citations, Charles Dumas and Emmett Wynn, there
was no such fanfare and no fun at all. Perhaps
Packard's sleeping beauty won so much attention
because he was an exception and only the exception
al makes news. Nevertheless, it does seem little
queer that the exceptionally proficient brothers of
color never seem to get real play.

AGOOD PROPOSAL

Several organizations have petitioned the
County Prosecutor Gerald X. O'Brien to establish
civil liberties division in the Prosecutors office.
We believe that the proposal has great merit and
if adopted some Of the fragrant abuses of civil rights
in the community might be corrected.
When Negro citizens are denied accommoda-
tions in public places and refused services which
urban living makes necessary, bitter feelings are en-
gendered which thwart the development of inter-
racial goodwill. Petty incidents over period Of
time build up strong resentments which lead in
evitably to hatred. civil liberties division intelli
gently administered could make significant con-
trbution to peace and goodwill in community.

One thing among many others
struck home in particular in a
Lillian Smith article, recently
reprinted on this papers Digest
Page. Remember, she said,

words and for time was i'm
pressed with my learning, until
j discovered too often q word is
only . mask TO cover up the real
meaning o; life. L learned
to be unimpressed by the phrase

She goes on very nicely with
that theme. In our lives what
does q term like Inter cultural
relations" mean? It's used often
and lovingly by those presum-
ably including the Negro white
situation. But in the u. s., Ne
sgrOes and whites have the same
culture, used correctly the
term Is only valid for peoples
Of different nationalities, perhaps.
What do nice words like I'm

we jumped out fat-footed and
said, we're not afraid Of that
term, "inter-race." In Cleveland,
they skirt the edges with a
wholly new business. And what
do the two Of them mean, IL any
thing.
And here, all Of US including
the newspapers, the city govern

that, anyway? II we're so many

Of feeling set apart early in life
