DON'T ever use a tele-

She is so brief, courteous and
quick that il is a JOY to call her.
So are Mrs. Harold Boyer and
Mrs. Butler Higbie, their voices
clear, their message concise

Mrs. Hugh Dillman has a de-
lightful telephone manner-her
voice low and clear and her re-
plies quickly and decisively
given. On the other hand, we
could d name dozens of others
who call up just to chat and TO
hear the latest gossip. Often
times while important messages
have to wait until the line is

Harlem Awaits With Big Welcome
Winfred Lynn. Hero Of World War II

"A hero's welcome awaits Win
fred Lynn when he makes his
first appearancet in Harlem at
forum and mass meeting to
be held on Friday (Oet. 26) at
$3.50 p, M, in the auditorium
OF the Public Library, both st.
and Lenox Avenue.
Honorably discharged from
the army this week, Lynn comes
home with no medals for mill
tary achievement. His title of
hero was won in another war
the war to abolish segregation
in the armed forces.
He is the man who was the
central figure in the famous
Lynn Case, the most important
legal battle to challenge segre-
cation in the armed forces.
Through all the years of war,
his name was a rallying cry
and his case was focal point
in the struggle to end the shame
full prejudices and discrimina-
tory measures used against the
Negro in our army and navy.
AS is well known, his case
gave rise to the formation of
the Lynn Committee to Abolish
Segregation in the Armed For
ces, and it is under the aus
pieces of this inter-racial com
mittee and the Schomburg
Collection that Fridays meeting
will be held.
The Lynn Case, despite its
failure to get a hearing before
the United States Supreme
Court, attracted nationwide at

Flight Of Negroes From South Seen
Adding To Northern Race Tensions

New York-The mass move
ment of Negroes from the South's
farms and plantations is pro-
crossing with such vigor that
according to DR.. George Edmund
Haynes, civic leader, this move
ment will add greatly to the
acuteneSs of the race situation in
the North and West.
Haynes, who is secretary of
the department of Race Relations
at the Federal Council of Chur-
ches of Christ in America, eX-
plains further. In the next few
years, this trend southerners
moving North and West-will
have been greatly accelerated
with millions of both races in
volved. Now the migrating
farmers together with the SER
vehement, with their fresh awar-
eness of democratic heritage
can't help but add greatly to
the race problems of the North.
Haynes is greatly concerned
with the tenant farmers who
are being divorced from the
soil by mechanical farm ma
chinery." But the tenant far
mer can't compete with mechan-
ical devises SO he has become
a liability to the plantation own
er. Thus he is being eased of
the land. Then they drift to

Guiding bed and board in ward

nursing services.
The college feels the need Of
every possible care to the at

The college physician can only
proceed to a limited degree of
medical care. Often students
away from home suffer the lack
of minor disqualification needs.
A tonsillotomy or appendectomy

may end a students failing and
constant complaining. Philan-

Wide Violence
Inevitable 4
Congress Fails
To Enact FEPC

A. Philip Randolph, union
leader, and Co-chairman of the
National Council for a Perma-
nent Fair Employment Practice
Committee, at press conference
held at its Washington head
quarters, last week, warned the
Congress that, "The processes of
an implanted reconversion had
distilled all the reagents nee
essary for an eplosive mixture.
Outbreaks such as this Nation
has never seen are in the offing"
said Mr.. Randolph. "The social
chemistry in many cities
throughout the country indicates
inevitable violence" he told re-
porters, unless the Congress
adds an important ingredient to
the mixture. This vital ingre-
dent is hope for the minorites,
hope for a fair and equal chance
to work Believe me, this hope
is shaping speedily into a de-
mand voiced most often in every
city by leaders and rank and
file alike. 1t is the slogan The
Right to Work is the Right to
Live
IF the Congress does not, by
enacting Fair Employment
Practices Bill turn this slogan
into actually, it is difficult for
me to see how violence, per-
haps exceeding that which after
the last war brought terror to
26 American cities in one year
can be prevented.
"The reason is obvious. An
ti-social employers, are, thanks
to Congressional inaction and a
dying wartime FEPC, recon-
verting. But they are recon-
verting to their old habits of
discriminating against Jews and
Catholics, Negroes and Mexicans.
Their policy once more is to
divide the worker and buid
cheap labor markets. This is the
very basic invitation to viol-
ence."

Each new day brings new con-
fusion as those leading us try
to grapple with the problems we
face. Some say we should go
this way, others say that way.
Some say stay here, others say
go there Nobody knows exactly
what to do; which way to go.
Some think the war helped our
cause, that now at last we can
move forward quickly. But 9TH
ers demur and point out tina.
the bonds of prejudice, discrim-
ination and hopelessness are
tighter around us today than
ever before.
Our churches afford little
practical solutions. Our organi-
cations expound mostly words.
Our bread still comes fropl the
white man because we haven't
yet learned to bake it for our
selves. Out of the labyrinth of
doubt comes the thought that
much already done in solving
our problem will have to be un-
done.
1t would appear that we have
Travelled far down the wrong
roads, Right now with the war
only concluded a few months
ago, we are living on a powder
keg of racial hostilties which

lid off. Some will deny it, and

of themselves by the white man,

Anyway he can't afford to take

fights would give Billy the

Confusion Beiuddles Negro Facing
The Future. Says Gardner

sweat, and tears that have gone
into our struggle just to bolster
their own personal pride when
they are picked out by the white
man as some sort of equal"
If we will sit down and take
stock, it will be found that we
have gone for nearly a century
without learning one fundamen-
tai element in the formula of
racial advancement. We have
no race discipline, we have no
racial respect and we have no
knowledge of precision in think
ing and in mass action that are
the necessities of any program
to move a race forward from a
condition of half-slavrey.
We can't control five Negroes
as leaders except in circumstan-
ces where what is commanded
is in line with what the five
want. You see examples of this
lack of racial discipline on all
sides. We have no single thing
to bind all together; our chill
dren are being brought up in
an atmosphere and environment
of confusion.
The team work, the working
together of all of us for the good
of all, is not apparent. In iso-
lated instances, yes. In general,
no. There are Negroes who de-
plore such groupings as all of
US, as in politics, as THE Negro
Vote" Others don't want to be
identified as Negroes but as
Americans.
Then there are many who are
just the opposite in their think
ing in these instances. The
confusion is maddening.
The white man selects the
Negroes he wants us to worship.
We seldom do. Our leaders are
usually too busy trying to be
the objects of such worship that
the real heroes, those who have
laid down their lvies for our
cause, are forgotten or are dis
credited.
We are prone to accept the
theory that anything Negro
does is no good; anything he has
to sell is no good, and so on.
II it were not for the so-called
little Negro" the man in the
street, our whole economic
framework, business institutions,
etc, would come crashing down
around our necks.
The little Negro" and God
be thanked for him, remains al
most purely Negro in what he
thinks and what he does, and
damns the whole world if it
doesn't like it.
1t is only the Negro on top,
in the saddle, who tries to be
something else. And that brings
about the lack of respect we
have for one another and for
our Negro institutions.
Precision means unity. We
don't have it in purpose nor in
viewpoint. Some want all Ne
groes to try to get white by
whatever means; creams, oils,
acids, etc. Others want to think
white. AS result, our chill
dren grow up in the garden of
