MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

"You know you 'uster' make
some good cookies" said Gordy,
with an emphasis on the 'uster', as
he dropped the lid of the pottery
cookie jar with a disappointed air.
Gordy, our IL year old neighbor,
and his sister Mary Cook still
hopefully lift the lid of that jar
almost daily, despite the fact that
we have made no cookies for al
most year.
"And she was so fond of you"
murmured a bereaved mother a
shade reproachfully, when we con-
fessed that we had not known of
the desperate illness of friend
who lived just around the corner.
Before the war we always took one
day in the week to contact certain
friends for news of their vicinity.
This friend had been especially
kind in not only giving US tips but
actually writing and bringing them
to us.
Should we have allowed ourself
to become so engrossed in work
that these contacts were given up !?
How long is it going to take us to
recapture the old way of living
or shall we ever recapture it? OF
course we can excuse the empty
cookie jar with the scarcity of
sugar but conscience tells US that
there are many cookies that can be
made without sugar.
When we were recently asked
what we had missed most during
war shortages our answer was
rubber bands and spring clothes
pins" Like most people it was
easy to adjust to the big changes
It was the little things that caused
us irritation. Anyway there just
is no substitute for either rubber
bands or spring clothes pins!
II was down to Wachapreague
last week" Barnard Welsh told us
as we met on the courthouse steps.
We quizzed him about the number
of fish he had caught. Being a
truthful man he answered, "Three
of us caught about one apiece.
The oyster season will be getting in
swing at Wachapreague shortly
Bet that is one place where ar
oyster stew will have more than
"one little oyster looming in view
Judge DeLashmutt, who like
Mr.. Welsh, has been going to the
poular fishing place for many
years has had another trip to
Wachapreague. He says we missed
one of the greatest features of the
dining room oil our recent Tip
"Mears" the head waiter was not
there that week. Mr.. Powell the
manager had told us however thai
things are even nicer when ray
man is here"
Well the melancholy days" are
with us again. Fall was officially

McWilliums Defends
Civil RIGHTS LOWS

WASHINGTON, d. c. (NNPA)
The arguments against civil
rights legislation as a weapon
against jimcrow are largely clouded
by a confusion between two terms
prejudice and discrimination -
says Carey McWilliams, author of
Brothers Under the Skin, in an arti-
Gle in the current issue of Science
and Society.
Prejudice, says McWilliams, is an
emotional factor. You can't pass
laws against it. But discrimina-
ton is a positive act striking at
racial, religious or national minori-
ties.
He points to the decision of the
U. S. Supreme Court in 1896, which
condoned discriminatory race laws,
saying that social prejudice" could
not be overcome by legislation. The
fallacy of this argument, according
to McWilliams, rests in the fact
that the Civil War Amendments
granting equal citizenship rights to
Negroes were not designed to OVER
come prejudice but to prevent dis
elimination.
U. S. Supreme Court Justice John
Marshall Harlan, in a dissenting
opinion to the decision of 1896, de-
clared that its effect would be ITO
permit the seeds of race hate to be
planted under the sanction of law"
Legal discrimination, such as
now exists in many jimcrow and
segregation laws, North and South,
Justice Harlan observed, keep
alive conflict of races, the con-
tinuance of which must do harm to
all concerned"
The federal collective-bargaining
laws during the Roosevelt Admin
istration, declares McWilliams, did
not outlaw prejudice against Or
ganized labor on the part of en-
ployers. 1t did bar anti-union dis
elimination. If the federal govern
ment can bar discrimination against
any group of workingmen, why not
against any racial group, he asks.
Laws sanctioning segregation
and other jimcrow practices have
no place on the statute books of
Democratic states, he says. They
violate the plain meaning of the
Constitution, which Judge Harlan
said "is color blind, and neither
knows nor tolerates classes among
citizens"

Stacy Committee
Does Nothing on
Railroad Cases

The Stacy Committee does not
plan to do anything about the i'm
passe between the Railroads and
the FEPC which has been pending
for over a year, according to let
ter from the committees chairman,
Judge Walter F. Stacy of North
Carolina, addressed to Attorney
Charles H. Houston, general coun-
sci for the Association of Colored
Railway Trainmen and Locomotive
Firemen and of the International
Association of Railway Employees.
Mr.. Houston wrote Judge Stacy
and other members of the commit
tee on Jan. Is, when he called their
attention to the fact their reluc-
lance to act on the case because of
the Alabama Supreme Court had
upheld the Carriers Agreement was
now no longer valid, in view of the
Supreme Court decision in the
Tunstall and Steele cases. He said
prompt and affirmative action
would avoid numerous suits against
the several railroads to have the
agreement judicially declared il
legal.
President Roosevelt, in a confer
ence with members of the FEPC
several days ago, said he would re-
quest of the Railroads to comply
with the FEPC directives issued on
November 18, 1943. Whether the
President made such a request is
not known.
Judge Stacy, in his letter to Mr..
Houston, dated Jan. %, said the
last meeting of his committee was
held on December a and 5, 1914.
Since then, he pointed out, the cases
of Tunstall and Steele have been
decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States.
PRESUMABLY a new contract will
be negotiated in the light of these
decisions" he added. "Should fed
eral assistance be needed, properly
the services of the National Media
ton Board would be invoked by one
or more of the parties"
Aside from the legality of the
Washington Carriers agreement,
the Judge said, "the principal
ground of challenge to the direc-
tives of the FEPC was want of au-
thority in the agency to issue them.
Congress is now considering legis-
lation to establish a permanent
FEPC. 1t would seem that any de-
bate on the question of authority
ought to be settled by such legisla-
ton"
In the meantime, on good author
ity, the NNPA has learned that the
Stacy Committee funds land con-
sequently it's authority died on
Dec. 81, 1914. Whether the White
House has requested the committee
to continue to act in the Railroad
case and to bring forth some affirm
ative action, and whether a request
for additional funds will be made
could not be learned.
The Stacy Committee was ap-
pointed by the President on Jan. 3,
1914, when the FEPC referred the
Railroad case to the White House
upon refusal of the Railroads to
abide by the FEPC directives to
cease discrimination in their en-
ployment practices and policies.
Members of the committee are
Judge Stacy, chief justice of the
Supreme Court of N. c.; Judge
w. H. Holly, of the U. S. Court,
Chicago; and Governor Frank J.
Lausche of Ohio, formerly mayor
of Cleveland.

DR.. little, who is pastor of the
First Methodist Church of Evan
ston, ILL.,, and one of the outstand-

among the American clergy, was
outspoken as he scored the Chris
tian Church in America for its
continued refusal to remove dis
elimination barriers toward the Ne
groes.
Declaring that the church must
lead in the ministry of reconcilia-
ton by first repenting of many sins
including class bias and racial
prejudice, DR.. Title declared that
Christian ministers had failed to
preach and to teach Christian race
relations to their congregations.
The church must be different
from the world and unite in the
various communities to do some
things to help all the people.

action of churches of various de-
nominations could help to abolish

Negroes Are for
Wallace; Tobias
Flags G. o. P.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The feud which has been boiling
in Washington since the President
named former Vice President Henry
A. Wallace to be Secretary of Com
merce, replacing Texas Jesse Jones,
is viewed here as one far deeper
than surface indications clearly
show. While efforts are being made
to make it appear the fight is one
based on business qualifications, the
real fight is between the liberal and
reactionary forces. This is show
down.
Charges that Henry Wallace
lacks experience in the handling of
lending agencies fail to take into
consideration that he administered
numerous lending agencies while he
was Secretary of Agriculture in
the early days of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration.
But Wallace has made some pow
erful enemies-among whom are
some of the worlds largest cor
porate interests. He has not held
his tongue in criticizing interna-
tional cartels and their monopolies
which many big businesses want
continued.
Negroes, both Republican and
Democrat, have a wholesome re-
spect for Wallace. No incident
brought such unanimous criticism
as did the shelving of Wallace as
Roosevelt's running-mate at the
Chicago Democratic convention.
Particularly was this true when the
action came after one of the most
courageous speeches a political
candidate has ever made-his now
famous "poll tax must go" speech.
Charming H. Tobias, member of
the Joint Army and Navy Commit
tee on Welfare and Recreation and
Secretary of Negro Work in the
National YMCA, said he wired
President Roosevelt that Wallace
had met every test of loyalty to the
country and to the President. He
predicted that Wallace would ad-
minister the office of Commerce
Secretary in keeping with his
proved thoroughness in all his I'M
dertakings and undisputed fidelity
to every trust committed to him.
He said he felt he was speaking
the mind Of all Negroes.
Believing that a coalition of
Southern Democrats and Republi-
cans would fight the Wallace con-
firmation, Tobias said:
at seems that the Republicans
once again will demonstrate their
lack of appreciation that the world
is moving by entering into this al
lance. But they're going to have
to reckon with the Republican Ne
gro leadership too because, in spite
of party lines Negro Republicans
have a great admiration for Wal
lace"
There is some fear being ex-
pressed that the cleavage which the
Wallace fight may cause may hurt
the chances of liberal legislation in
the 10th Congress, among which is
FEPC and poll tax.
