the pattern of life Is too fixed
and too well known. Every in
formed student of the problem,
white or colored, is agreed on
one point: the Negro is here to
stay.
This means-and let us not
Il I'D ourselves = friction.
Throughout the world, both geo.
graphically and historically, fric-
ton between two races living to-
gether has never been avoided.
The question, then, is how can
we minimize that friction? Can
1t best be minimized by segrega-
ton? The South, until recently,
was unanimous in its support of
segregation. And its most articu-
late orators still wave the bloody
shirt.
Above the Mason-Dixon Line
and East of the Mississippi lives
nearly half the Negro population
in the country. There, the pat
tern is not so clear 1t varies
from state to state. and even
from city to city. On the whole
there is lip service to social in
tegration while segregation and
discrimination are openly prac-
ticed to curb economic freedom.
Even before the war there was
evidence of minor crumbling of
the Southern front. Ten years
ago 1, myself, witnessed the eff
feet of curfew regulations in
Florida when 1 stood on cause
way in Miami and watched thous-
ands of Negroes streaming west
off Miami Beach to get into their
own ghetto before shutdown turn
ed loose the police cars to jail
the stragglers. Today, in Florida,
Negroes vote freely. Throughout
the South are evidences of such
changing attitudes.
The war has made most
people realize that you can't
kick the Negro around socially
and economically year in and
year out and then expect him
to lay down his life or even
his savings to advance a cause
in which he obviously has no
stake. The only way to enlist
his support is to assure him
of stake i'm the victory This
is the moral issue. This, in a
sort of practical sense, is why
we must assure the Negro of a
fair deal both socially and &C.
onGmicaIIy. Yet, though IL is
practical i'm broad way, 1t is
not expressed in manner to
erase individual prejudice.

BY JOHNNY CAMPBELL


There is no one here who feels
more keenly the passing of my
dear friend and pal, Felix.
Though he passed out with the
old year of 1914, his memory
with me will last until | pay
the same debt.
Crane brought me here from
Portland many years ago; and
he always tried to assist me in
having success. And l can say
that he was responsible for my
success today.
He had hobby for always do
ing things for others and moth
ing for himself. We all know
that had he been a selfish man.
he would have died rich.
He made great sacrifices to
save others, and l know that his
memory will live long witt both
colored and white.
Though it must come to all
men, the passing of my friend
leaves me sad. And / pray for
his peaceful journey in the realm
beyond.

| Northwest and there Is here the
greatest chance to deal with it
in a truly practical way 1t would
be foolish to deny that, despite
the newness of the problem,
there is no individual prejudice.
Many of us have come here from
parts of the country where it is
not new problem and where
individual prejudices have long
since crystalized into strong COM
munity prejudices. But the COM
munity prejudices have not yet
emerged in most towns here, and
If you, the local authorities with
experience in racial relations, act
soon and firmly, these commun-
ity prejudices may be averted.
The 14th Amendment to the
Constitution can and does work
when given a chance. Let anyone
who doubts it visit Yesler Ter
race in Seattle where four-not
merely two = races have lived
side by side in relative harmony
for four years. In certain en-
lightened communities in the
East there are longer records
which prove the same truth. The
way 10 handle the NEGRO prob
lem" is simply to follow the
Constitution of the United States.
At first, we may require cour-
age to face this remarkable
truth. Frictions will never be
eliminated completely and for a
short time they may appear to
increase rather than decrease.
Yet, in every single instance of
local authority experien
throughout the country, where
the Constitution rather than emo
ton has guided, the NEGRO pro-
blem" as melted away. And in
every single instance, above the
Mason-Dixon Line, where segre-
cation has been practiced, the
frictions have been constant and
not infrequently violent.
You may have some trouble if
you face the issue openly and
honestly. But you will surely
have it and in quantity if you
adopt the ostrich attitude.

IN MEMORY OF FELIX CRANE


Friends, death has again en-
tered our ranks and removed
from our midst a well loved
friend, Felix Crane.
His cheerful willingness to
relieve any real distress, endear-
ed him to all.
Naturally we grieve deeply for
the loss of one so dear to us.
Truly we live in a world where
solemn shadows are continually
falling in our paths. Shadows
that teach us the insecurity of
all TEMPORAL blessings and warn
us that here, "There is no abid-
ing stay" We have the blessed
satisfaction of knowing that
death cannot enter that sphere o
which the departed are removed.
Let hope and faith, my dear
friends, mingle with your natural
sorrow. Let us who are left
here look to that future where
the sundred ties of earth are
united

Big Decision For FDR

 a five-point program. Few here ex- pected the Presidents conditions to be met, and they weren't.
 These five measures together" he told congress one year ago, form a just and equitable whole. would not recommend national service law unless the other laws were passed to keep down the cost of liv- ing, to share equitably the burdens of taxation, to hold the stabilization line and to prevent undue profits" !"
 Specifically, he asked for:
 "l. A realistic tax law which will tax all unreasonable profits, both individual and corporate, reduce the ultimate cost of the war to our sons and daughters.
 "2. A continuation of the law for renegctiation of war contracts - which will prevent exorbitant pro- fits and assure fair prices to the government.
 a. A cost of food tsubsidy) law which will enable the government to place a reasonable floor under prices the farmer may expect for his production and to place ceiling on the prices the consumer will have to pay for the food he buys
 A. Early re-enactment of the stabilization statute of october l942.
 D. A national service law which, for the duration of the war, will prevent strikes, and, with certain appropriate exceptions, will make available for war production or for any other essential services every able-bodies adult in this nation"
 Congress re-enacted the stabiliz- ation statute under which the Office of Price Administration functions. It rather grudgingly agreed to con- tract renegotiatlon. although the act now in effect will expire on next June 30, requiring MT. Roosevelt to request its extension again.
 Congress rejected a general food subsidy program and sent to MT. Roosevelt tax bill which he vetoed in such bitter language that Sena- tor Alben w. Barkley, D., Key, re- signed his majority leadership in protest. Congress enacted the tax bill over MT. Roosevelt'S veto, how ever, and Barkley was reelected to his leadership. He even wrote MT. Roosevelt a letter taking most of the force and all the cutting edge out of his protest speech.
 But the terms of the Presidents s endorsement of national service legislation were not fulfilled and mo- thing came of his recommendation. No action was taken despite Mir. Roosevelt's assurance to congress that such legislation was ''nec- essity." He wrote that he was con- vinced We could win without na- tional service, but that nothing short of it would guarantee an earlier victory and reduce the toll of suffering and sorrow and blood. "

 and again during the election is said to still be apparent as shown within the numerous caucuses conducted yesterday.
 The House revealed more order ly organization although consider able manipulations are expected throughout the coming term.
 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 4. (UP)-- Organized after fretful hours of delay over adoption of rules, the General Assembly was in recess to- day until next Tuesday when the flow of bills will start for committee assignment.
 The disagreement which held up the inaugural ceremonies arose after the house adopted the new stream lined" rules proposed by the state legislative council and the senate refused to go along on same basis. The senate finally compromised on a recommendation to set up sepa- rate liquor control and narcotics committee, but refused to concur with the house in stipulating that a report could be forced out of com mittee on any bill or resolution by a simple majority of either house.
 Republican Minority Leader Sen. c. Raymond Brock, Hamden, charged that the Democrats were attempting to hold up the work of the legislature. which brought 8 retort from Majority Leader Leon Ris Cassi, Hartford. that we say we will give you bills if you're inter- ested in good legislation, but If you're interested in jobs for Re- publican members, we say you shall not have them
 Immediately the senate adopted its own set of rules, the inaugural ceremony was permitted to take place before joint session of the two legislative branches.
 It was nearly , D. m, when ad- adjournment was voted for over the weekend.

 Southeast of Mindoro, American torpedo boats had field day of the west coast of Leyte, sinking five enemy coastal vessals and launch. On Leyte itself, another 1,287 enemy dead were counted and 15 prisoners rounded up, bringing enemy cas- ualties there to a grand total of 121 ,O64.
 Japanese planes struck back with a pre-dawn raid on American air fields on Leyte that caused some damage. One raider was shot down.
 Elsewhere in the southwest Pa cific, air patrols bombed shipyards and warehouses at Sandakan, Bor- neo, destroying buildings and start ing fires, and sank a coastal vessel off the east coast of Celebes.

Continued rom Page D for trial by jury but later changed his selection to trial by three judges. Coscia has made no indica- tion of a change of selection and his case is still scheduled for a jury hearing.
 Speculation has been widespread on the possibility Coscia may be allowed to plea on 6 second degree murder charge, but his case is listed as a first-degree matter, and no indication has been made by the states atorneys office that a charge will be made.
 The two accused. who face the death penalty if found guilty on the first degree charges, are now held at the New Haven county jail without bond, pending trial.
 Prosecution of the cases will be made by States Attorney William B Fitzgerald and Assistant States At- torney Walter w. Smyth, who have been assisted in the investigations by County Detective Thomas F Laden
 Attorney Edward Mascolo is listed on the docket as counsel for Coscia while Public Defender Edward T Carmodys name is listed in the Zu- kauskas case. Attorney w. w. Gag CT will serve as special assistant tC the public defender.
 Zukauskas, who resigned from his post as supernumerary policeman after he was taken into custody, will be accused of shooting Mrs, Plungis while driving in her car, and hiding the body on lonely bridle path ir Middlebury. The Alder street resi-, dent nas confessed the staying, and his wife, who was with them at the time of the shooting, has confirmed his statements.
 It has ben ascertained, however 1 that Mrs. ZuKauskas will not appear | as witness against her husband and the former policeman will bt the only one able to give an eye witness account of the death,
 Coscia, who gave himself up al the police headquarters shortly after the staying of his brother in law, l! expected d to make claim of self-de' fense and fear the basis of his de fense. The shooting occurred II Cyr's kitchen in house owned jointly by the two mems wives, wht are sisters,
 The other cases on the Januar. docket involve variety of charges ranging from using a motor vehicle without permission to theft, break ing and entering, and morale charges.

sources, it appears now that Von Rundstedt struck into the thinnest- held portion of the Allied line be- cause he was desperate for time and prestige.
 This tactic, developed by the Ger mans on the eastern front, is known to the Russians as a spelling at- tack"
 Von Rundstedt apparently hoped he could seize American supplies may never know how close he came to ore great dump.
 In event of a big unexpected sue cess, he obviously intended to aim for Liege, the most important com munications center in Belgium.
 The prestige angle was important to the German high command to restore the tarnished reputation of the wehrmacht.
 Time was paramount. Not only had the NaZis been sacrificing men and material at tremendous rate. hut they had not completed their innner fortification lines.
 There has been evidence that the Nazis hoped to counter Allied heavy bomber attacks with the under ground production of jet-propelled planes armed with big no-recoil guns.
 This, then, is what happened:
 Von Rundstedt played the ele- ments and came up with misty weather which grounded Allied bombers and fighters.
 Behind this screen, he struck swiftly through some of the worst terrain in Europe.
 The Germans suffered heavy cas- ualties, but there seems no question that von Rundstedt cracked through more easily than he had dared hope. Then he began turning north toward Liege and south toward | Sedan.
 Only probing thrusts were made north and south befort ie became evident that Pattons realignment at momen's notice had forestalied any such major moves.
 At this point, Patton began his counter-bloW, striking at Bastogne where the garrison held out hero- ically against superior Nazi forces.
 Bastogne not only is road cen- ter, but represents the farthest eastern point at which it would be possible to slice the German bulge because of the broken, diffi- cult terrain over a wide area.
 Meanwhile, the Allies face a null titude of problems. It will be more than month before the Germans are driven back to their starting points-and there must be regroup- ing and replenishment of supplies before the American can roll gaain.

Reds Check Budo Siege
fContinued from Page 1)

The Axis garrison, originally es- timated at about 80,000 Nazis with q sprinkling of Hungarian troops, still was putting up fanatical re sistance, burning and dynamiting block after block of the city as troops fell back. oviet front dis patches said the great railway bridge in the southern end of Buda had been blown up by German sapperS, and that violent fighting was in progress all raourd the Roy al castle on the Danube's west em- bankment. Scores of fires were raging unchecked in and around the palace as Soviet guns and planes pounded the trapped defenders.
 On the opposite bank the Russians fought their way south along the river edge of the Rudolf quay with in a few hundred yards of the burning parliament buildings and the university. The Germans were reported to have massed their re- maining artillery on the elevated university grounds where they com manded wide area of the city, and it seemed certain the battle for Boudapest would be settled there.
 Small FOOthOld
 More than 1000 city blocks were in Russian hands early today leav- ing the Germans only small foot hold in the capital. and Moscow said the enemy's losses. already running into the thousands, were mounting hourly at an appalling rate.
 The Germans also lost heavily on the Hungarian -CzechosloYak bor- der front north of Budapest, where Red Army forces were advancing on the Slovak railway center of Losonc on a 25-mile front. The Soviets drove into Sacherova, only a mile from Losonc, yesterday, killing 400 Nazis and capturing more than D. 300.
