FIGHTERS DEFEAT HESITATE CHAMPS 9-2 AT MERIDEN
The Bradley Fighters visited Meriden last Sunday to defeat Waits Hillsiders, 9-2, and hand the

former State Champions their first defeat on their home diamond in four years.
 Jimmy Maloof, the Fighters first baseman, paced his team with a ten hit spree and had a perfect day at the plate with triple, a double and a single. Home runs were registered by Feraco and Mills to give the Fighters a lead that was never overcome.

1O-in-One Ration

Babe Herman, liverlipped idol of all Brooklyn fandom in the early sos, celebrated his return to Flat bush livery in typical Herman fashion. Called up by Branch Hickey for pinch-hitting duties, the 4O-year-old Babe singled his first time up for our Buns, then fell down rounding first and was al- most "trun" for an out. :.

Mr.. cFudden Is So Subtle

describing his dastardly actions.
In contrast, Rayford Logan, an in
ternational authority on world af-
fairs, who came here a couple of
months ago to speak, rated 80
words and a 10 pit. head on the
inside pages.
Every other Twin City paper has
for the past three years contributed
to interracial peace and goodwill
by reporting the news straight
without resorting to the WORKOUT
method of emphasizing the race of
.culprit, when he happens to be
a Negro. The TINES news desk
is cute. 1t makes no mention of
the racial identity of persons in
volved except by using the words
white woman" By this method it
indicates to the public the racial
background of other persons.
By this method the TIMES re-
igiously breeds ill-will and tears
down all the good work of the sub
stantial law-abiding Negroes, the
interracial organizations which are
dedicated to racial goodwill, it's
own editorial page and the sincere
work the other daily papers are
doing.

If we have any racial disturb
ances in Minneapolis they will
rightly be laid at the door of the
MINNEAPOLIS TINES whose
news handling of stories involving
Negroes and whites is calculated
to arouse race hatred and strife.
Manus McFadden, the managing
editor, we understand, boasts that
he has a fright to his prejudices. !"
Maybe he has that right, but the
manner in which his news desk
angles stories involving Negro law
violators, if whites are involved, is
obviously dictated by Mr.. McFad-
denis personal prejudices and does
the public peace no good.
The TIMES presents a paradox.
On the editorial page Bradley Nor
rison champions the cause of the
minority groups and justice for all
people. On the news pages the ex-
PLOTS of Ben Wilson, Rock GAM,
and others accused of crime are
portrayed with nice photos. A Ne
gro who gets in any difficulty with
the police where a white female is
even remotely involved is sure to
get an 18 pit. head and 300 words

HIS OWN PETARD

Friends of John E. Rankin should
urge the Mississippi congressman
to re-read that bill he has intro
duced to penalize "un-American-
ISM" He describes the measure as
"full of dynamite" but apparently
it has not occurred to him to make
for cover before it explodes.
The way the bill reads, indulg-
ence in un-American activities may
be charged against anyone who
engages or attempts to engage in
any activity intended to accomplish
-. any impairment of the rights,
privileges or immunities secured or
protected by the Constitution" He
and his Mississippi teammate,
Theodore Bilbo, are among the most
ardent congressional champions of
white supremacy and Jim Crowism.
Term after term, they defend the
poll tax which robs the Negro of
his constitutional right to vote,
while vindictively opposing anti
lynching bills, fair employment
practice laws and other legislation
designed to equalize the privileges
and immunities of all citizens.
One penalty prescribed in the
Rankin bill is disqualification for
federal office. It would be poetic
justice, and little loss to the coun-
try, if he himself were among the
first to incur that penalty. - St..
Paul Dispatch.

Whdt They're
Fighting For

This spring is new to both young
and old,
For in these months a history's
been told.
To those men and women who
fought and died,
Yes, for duty, but more for pride,
The nation should pay tribute on
victory day, a.
Not by "thank you"-but in Gods
own way.
They did not die for racial fights,
But for dark man, and white man
to have equal rights.
And if only the nations will re-
member the words,
Equal Rights" the world will
neve have racial sights.
Yes in these months a history's
been told,
But, still, a great part is yet to
unfold,
And if Harry S. Truman is like
Franklin D.
The whites and the Negro have a
future
l hope to see.

have been headaches to everybody
they come in contact with. They
are charged at the plants with alb
senteeism, poor conduct, unsatis-
factory production, lack of coopera-
ton; they are charged in public:
with being rowdy, uncouth trouble
makers and of generally having bad
manners; they are charged in their
neighborhoods: with being destruc-
tive of property, bad renters, I'M
sanitary in their surroundings,
careless about the conduct and de-
pertinent of themselves and their
children, reckless in throwing away
their earnings and Indifferent about
their citizenship.
Now these charges cannot be
lodged against all of our war work
ers, but unfortunately the number
which comprises this minority is
sufficiently large to threaten our
whole structure of employment.
The good worker cannot be in
different to the acts of the bad one
for the latter's conduct on the job,
in transit and at home, affects him
vitality. This is certainly a case
where we are literally our brothers
keepers.
There is still time for correcting
all of these faults and criticisms.
While some workers will lose their
jobs very soon, most persons who
want to work will be able to find
jobs.
For our own sake, we must find
some way of reaching these en-
ployees with bad work records and
bad public manners. They cannot
be permitted to make it bad for
those who have conscientiously
tried to do a good days work on
the job and been an exemplary
citizen in their neighborhoods. All
Negroes are not good and we know
it, neither are all of them bad. For
the good of all of us, we must
let those who are bad know that
they cannot expect any support or
sympathy from US.
There are many problems ahead
for the thousands of Negro work
ers who have migrated from the
South and smaller towns to the big
urban industrial centers. The great
est of these problems is keeping
employed. The surest guarantee of
this is a work record without any
flaws or black marks. The best
way to be prepared for the transi-
ton period is to have q savings

The Decision
BY Owen Dodson


Who are these among you
Homesick for home and longing for peace:
The summer going and the war going
And all the sharp promises of peace?
Watch from your foxholes
For fire on distant mountains,
Fire flags lit with peace
Waving from the mountains.
There are other journeys you must make
After your journey home, other journeys you
Must make alone
Into the countries of the heart
To sit with silence and decide alone.
If your final home will be
Where brother knows brother,
Chews meat, breaks bread
Together with his brother;
Or where man will trample again
His neighbor, shake no hands,
Scorn fellowship, light fires
Of dark bones and flesh to warm his hands.
Who are these among you
Longing for peace among all men,
Longing for each homesick heart
To make pilgrimage among all men?

BETTER GET READY

The good news flowing in from
Europe heralding the liquidation of
the war on that front is a case of
a silver cloud having black lining.
The ominous warning in that black
lining is especially directed at Ne
groes holding jobs in industry and
business.
Although the end of hostilities in
Europe will end a major phase of
World War II, it by no means is
the end of this bitter conflict. How
ever, it will mean that the huge
production facilities of this nation
will begin to slow down and grad
ually change over to civilian goods.
This means that cost-plus con-
tracts will be liquidated, overtime
pay reduced, and production work
ers reduced to normal output re-
quirements. All of which means
that there are going to be thou
sands of workers let out of the jobs
they now hold. In some produc-
ton centers this process has al
ready started. The big Ford Willow
Run plant is being iquidated and
there are progressive cutbacks in
many other plants in Detroit. Cleve-
land and other centers will not be
far behind in feeling the effects of
this.
All of which adds up to this:
Negro workers had better begin to
take inventory of their work records
for woe unto him whose record is
not good. And unfortunately, some
of our men and women war work
ers do not have good records. Since
we still have the titanic job of de-
feating the Japs in the Pacific, and
with a huge backlog of civilian
needs to be supplied, there is sti1l
time for our workers who have
not gotten on the good side of the
work ledger, to mend their ways
and do so.
1t has required years of effort
and hours of anguish negotiating
to open many of the doors of en-
ployment some of our people are
pouring through every day. Those
who are the benefciaries of these
jobs are the ones who have done
the least to open them up. Yet,
they are the ones who will de-
termine how many of them we will
keep when all the fighting is over.
I don't want to be an alarmist,
but I think we have to face the
truth. . Some of our war workers

Press and Peace
Washington Post

The atom bomb, have had occasion to observe before has jumped freedom of the press all over the world into an outstanding place among the "musts' of foreign policy We unfeignedly glad to see President Truman return to the subject Light is essential everywhere nowadays. Aside from
 the new need freedom of the press is closely tied in with the fundamental principles for which this Nation has been fighting Indeed the only thing which usti-
 es us in paying the price have paid for victory something than million casualties have been counted to date-is the hope of developing the kind of world civilization in which freedom of the press will be taken for granted.
 The President says that all representatives of the press regardless of their nationality origin shall have free and equal to the news of this country That of course, is the policy he would like to see adopted elsewhere. It is such policy that the American delegation was aiming at when it in-
 uced the Potsdam conference to express confidence that the return of peace would bring about freedom of reporting in the liberated countries where it has been denied. So certain MT. Truman and Sec
 etary of State Byrnes the efficacy of free reporting that they would rather have unhampered represen- tatves of the press observe the postwar elections in the liberated countries than official observers. It would be foolish to deny that adherence to this policy is of great importance to newspapers and their reporters abroad Nor do attempt to minimize the interest of the American public in getting accurate reports what is happening in other parts of the world. Yet both of these factors are overshadoWed by the intimate relation between freedom of the press
 
 simple truth is that democracy cannot sink roots there-much less grow and flourishuness the people. are free to express and record their wishes, hopes beliefs and aspirations without fear Of dire conse- quences.
 More than 100 years ago Alexis de Tocquevile said in his great work Democracy in America, that "the press is the chief democratic instrument of freedom that personal servitude cannot be complete if the press is free" Today these old and hoary truths That is why there is danger Of minimizing their significance In point of fact these truths are infinitely more important than they were in Iocque- vle's day; for radar, self propelled missiles and atomic bombs have made it imperative for all people who have interest in their self-preservatlon to know what is going in other parts of the world. The world press has acquired great new responsibility keep humanity abreast of developments in the realm of science well that of politics It is well to recognize at the very outset of the new era upon which embarking that denial to the press of the opportunity meet this obligation will menace not only the spread of democracy but also the maintenance of peace.

Head of the group will be Professor Richard Crutch- field of Swarthmore College. British Broadcasting Corporation monitors were puzzled last Friday when, during Moscow's regular noon broadcast to Japan, the Russians suddenly began broadcasting in Korean. A few minutes later, OWI in Washington received on its teletype a request for aid from its London office which reported that BEG is anXiously awaiting word from the U S. monitor in Port land, Ore, regarding the "un- recognizable language" Moscow was using. The British were anxious to know what the Russians were say ing. U. s. monitors recognized the language as Korean, but reception was bad at Portland and they couldn't understand it.
