BILL ASKS NEGRO
IN VETERANS BUREAU
Bu Ernest E.. Johnson


WASHINGTON, May 16 (ANP)
The "sizeable number" of Ne
groes in the armed forces has
prompted Rep. Frances P. Bolton
(R.) of Ohio to introduce legisla-
ton calling for the creation of the
post of administrative assistant for
Negro affairs in the Veterans Ad-
ministration, last Wednesday.
81 have introduced the bill after
going into the matter thoroughly
and finding rather general feeling
of real need for such an official in
the Veterans Administration"
Mrs. Bolton said upon presenting
her bill. ''The sizeable number of
Negroes in the armed forces makes
the establishment of this office ad-
visable. Members of the veterans
committee are very much interest
ed"
Rep. John Rankin (D.) is chair
man Of the committee.
Such a person as she is recon-
mending that the President would
appoint, would advise and cooper
ate with the Veterans Administra-
tor, currently Brig. Gen. Frank T.
Hines, on matters affecting Negro
veterans, investigate the problems
involved and serve as liasion officer
in bringing about better under
standing" between the administra-
tion and the Negro veterans.
For some time now the NAACP
and the National Urban league have
been fighting to win Gen. Hines
over to the appointment of an ad-
ministrative assistant, but he has
remained adamant on this point.
Hines has steadfastly maintained
that the administration of his
agency has been free of bias, and
that there is no need for such an
assistant.

pleasant approach, she has a def
mite white following.
The Jacobs Bargain center has
proved that normal human beings,
regardless Of race, religion or ma
tional heritage can learn to live to-
gether happily and enjoy mutual re-
spect, Mrs. Jacobs pointed out. "In
the future our employment practice
will be not to discriminate between
Negro and white," she added.

BiIbo Is Our Disgrace

Almost every time Senator Bilbo opens
his mouth in Washington he damages the
name and prestige of the state of Mississippi.
He hurts the name of Mississippi where it
really counts, and that is in the opinions and
the feelings of the well-meaning people of
America, wherever they may be. His "dago'
and like" letters are a disgrace and an out
rage. He is going to find out that this kline
of business actually turns the stomach of
many a young Mississippi service man now
returning to the farms and counties. They
are going to remember dagoes like John
Basllone of the Marine Corps, the Medal of
Honor winner, who went back to die on
OkinaWa from a safe job in Washington. And
they are going to remember the Jewish star
symbols among the Christian crosses which
show where the hikes are buried. Even civil
lians can see them. Just look at the pictures
OF the war graveyards that come out in news
magazines.
Our Mississippi boys have not been out
there fighting for the worst in our ma
tional character. but for the best. know
ing we have not always lived up to 1t.
but hoping at least that it would grow
stronger. here in Mississippi and in the
nation. Bilbo represents and speaks for
the worst that is in us--for the residue of
suspicion unfairness. that ex-
lists to some degree in every human heart.
and which the good instincts are con-
"r bduS9hu9 u Coutroi ana put
down.
Bilbo is going to find out to his surprize
the simple human deeeney that exists among
the remote country people whose remoteness
he depends on to bamboozle them with his
artificial agitation of the race question. The
war has filled these farmers with some sense
of the ideals for which it was fought. and
their returning sons are going to help them
understand. We have actually talked to
enough boys who feel this way, and enough
OF Their fathers, to give rise to our belief
that Bllbo next year may very likely get the
decisive political beating he has deserved
since his corrupt administrations as governor.
We are going to have the gratitude and
congratulations of the rest of the South the
day we retire this bad actor; and those are
gong to be the feelings of MANY of Missis-
slppfs service men, who from the point of
vantage of foreign service were able to see
Tor the first time the real smallness and
meanness OF this man who professed to be
the friend of the common man; and who
learned for the first time the general con-
tempt IN which he is held, and the disgrace
he has brought to Mississippi in the ewes of
the world.

South America who fly out in
countless droves each year to
drown in the South Atlantic, and
the Jennings of Norway little
animal like a squirrel-who
plunge down the steep banks of
the coast and swim out to sea
where they drown. These things
have been dissolved year after
year, with no final explanation
by science.
Even the most plausible theory
offered is in itself fantastic. And
yet it may be true. This is the
theory that the butterflies and
the jennings are still obeying
an instinct to migrate to a con-
tinent which once existed but
which millions of years ago sunk
beneath the Atlantic Ocean. This
is the semi-mythical continent of
Atlantis, which many biologists
believe once formed a land bridge
between the Western Hemisphere
and Europe.

an ever-fresh approach to their civic

not represent the aspirations and hard
work of enough citizens and officials

City Planning Is Long.
Hard Job

Community planning" is another one of
those phrases like Leadership" citizenship
etc, which can mean a great deal, or nothing
but empty talk, depending on the way theAn-
dividual looks at it. The phrase community
planning sounds very good when dropped
-nto a public speech or perhaps a newspaper
article, and most people are inclined to be in
favor of it, even though they are not quite
sure what community planning means In
realistic terms.
Actually, it means intelligence and mag
NATIVE foresight on the part of a rather large
group of substantial people; it means actual
paper work, the study of books and PAM
chiefs, correspondence with planning and adj
.ninistrative authorities who have had expert
snce in other areas, it means not kidding
ourselves, and not believing that we have
schieVed Community planning by a series
of talks at service clubs and a few incon-
elusive conferences and public statements;
means a slow patient effort by men who
8rtually grasp the idea, and who understand

lity MANIFOLD the original sums in actual
economies and increased business, to say
nothing of the Improvement of physical sur

value.
These things are the beginning of what
community planning means. That the city OF
rascagoula needs to concern itself with this
sort Of intelligent foresight ought to be APP
parent to any thinking citizen. Although the
original community itself is DID,, the larger
ety. is raw, war-built, sprowling, disorgan-
led. Residential, business and industrial dis
taicts have sprung up together and over
tapping; trailer camps, shacks and honky-
tonks have grown and flourished without
control; and thus far no intelligent plans of
city growth and development have been Sc
liously considered.
No private business could succeed in
the face of such disorganization and
short-sightedness. There il no reason to
expect a civic community to thrive. and
