Analysis of Ant-POll Tax
Petition Shows Interesting Facts

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Analysis Of the 218 signatures on
the petition to discharge the House
Rules and Judiciary Committees
from further consideration of the
anti-poll tax bill, passed last week
by Psi to 104, presents some inter-
esting comparisons for the student
of politics and shows the kind of
job which must be done on the Pc
tition to discharge the Rules Com
mittee on the FEPC bill.
Of the 218 signatures on the
anti-poll tax petition, 100 were
Democrats, 107 were Republicans,
l was American Labor Party, and
1 was Progressive. There are 242
Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives, 189 Republicans, ALP,
and l Progressive.
On the surface, this looks like a
superior showing by the Republi-
cans. A close analysis, however,
gives much different picture.

the South can be eliminated from
consideration on matters such as
discharge petitions. The thirteen
Southern and South-border states
(Ala., Ark, Fla, Ca, KY, La,
Miss, N. c., Okla, S. c., Tenn,
Tex, and Va.) account for 104
Democratic representatives. Seven
Of these states have poll taxes.
This leaves only 1873 Democrats
from Northern areas. Of this num-
Der, 70 per cent of them signed the
anti-poll tax petition.
The Republicans, all but five Of
whom are from the North, signed
up to the tune of only 81 per cent.
Looking at the important, stra-
logically important states so far
as the Negro vote is concerned,
there seems much more healthy
respect for the Negro vote on the
part of the Democrats than of the
Republicans. Here is how they
signed in such states showing num-
Der of signers and percentage of
party total:

Two Negro GI's
With Eisenhower
In Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
(NNPA Wire Service).-Today was
General Eisenhower day in Wash
ington. The wheels of government,
business and schools stopped to pay
tribute to the conqueror of Ger
many.
In the Generals party accom-
panying him from the battIefields
of Europe were two Negro CPS,
part of the % enlisted men brought
back by the General. They were
Master Sgt. Sylvester E. Buckner
and Technical Sgt. Eugene Jack
son. They, with the rest of the
party of officers and enlisted men,
accompanied the General to the
Pentagon building from the air
port, rode behind him in the par
ade to the capitol, were guests at
the Civic luncheon at the Statler
hotel where they stayed, and again
were guests with the General at
the buffet supper at the White
House this evening where they
were entertained by President Tru-
man.
Over five hundred thousand per-
sons turned out to watch the Gen
eral and his party ride in jeeps
from the Pentagon building to the
capitol.
At his press conference this af-
ternoon, the General mentioned the
twenty-six hundred Negro service
troops who volunteered for combat
duty with the Third and Seventh
armies in Europe. In answer to a
question as to what he thought Of
this experiment and what it meant
to the future Of the Negro in the
army, he said he had formed pla-
toons of these soldiers, gave them
trained non-com and commissioned
officers, and that they operated as
platoons wherever there was a
shortage of requirements.
81 have formed from my expert
ence no general conclusion which
T would be ready to express now as
to a type of organization for the
future" he said. "Under the con-
ditions, they fought well and did
good work"
The General and his party left
tonight for New York.

Historic Pilgrim
Burns MORTGAGE

By Rev. Clarence T. r. Nelson .
In a most impressive service on
Sunday afternoon the last mort
gage for $4,000, held by the North
ern Baptist Convention, was burned
at the Pilgrim Baptist Church, thus
adding another debt free church to
the st. Paul community. M. A.
Boiling, chairman of the Trustee
Board, and F. B. Simpson, chairman
of the Deacon Board, with lighted
candles and standing with Rev.
Jackson Wilcox, pastor Of the Park
Baptist Church, in the center, ap-
piled the tapers to the mortgage.
AS the mortgage paper was be-
ing consumed by the flames, some
one started to sing, "Amen, Amen, I"
and the congregation Joined in the
singing. This was a fitting bene-
diction to a long and hard struggle
of a faithful people with aggressive
leadership.
Rev. Massey Ill
The service had a note of sad
ness, because the young, dynamic
leader and pastor, under whose
leadership in eight months the Pill
grim congregation has completed
this splendid achievement, the Rev.
Floyd Massey, Jr., was unable to
attend the service because of ILL
ness. Standing in his place and
speaking during the mortgage
burning ceremony, was his friend
and seminary classmate, the Rev.
Jackson Wilcox.
DIR. William D. Carter, pastor of
the Friendship Baptist Church,
Pasadena, California, and pastor of
the Pilgrim Church from 1900 to
1910, delivered the sermon for the
service. Deacon F. B. Simpson
read a glowing account of the
achievements of the pastor and
congregation "Since April, 1914"
Rev. ]. W. Phelps presided. Other
ministers participating in the serv-
ice included, Rev. J. W. Junell, Rev.
J. J. Clayburn and the writer.
It must have been very inspir-
ing to Miss Arlee Harris, director
of the Gospel choir; Mrs. Odell
Harris Galloway and Miss June
Harris, daughters of the late DR..
and Mrs. L. W. Harris, under whose
administration the new Pilgrim
was built, to see the labors Of their
parents thus contaminated.

In closing his address, Mr.. Reed
told of how Negro service men are

Dwight, Jr., former All-American
end at Minnesota University, and
Sam, who was president of the local
NAACP branch, in the army, read
a paragraph from Walter Whites
book, "a Rising Wind"
In describing some of the cases
of injustice to Negroes in courts
martial, Mr.. White writes in his
latest book: "One of the most star
Ting was the case of a Negro ser
geant. A white captain of Military
Police had addressed Negro soldiers
as 'niggers.' Two of the soldiers
drafted and circulated a petition to
their commanding officer, vigorous
but respectful in tone and content,
in which they pointed out that army
regulations forbid use of epithets
or mistreatment by an officer of
men under his command. The two
privates were court-martialed and
sentenced to ten years at hard
labor. The sergeant, who had not
signed the petition, wrote a letter
of protest to the commanding gen.
eral through channels, asking that
the sentences be reviewed because
the convictions had materially low
cred the morale of the Negro SOL
diers. When no reply was received
to this communication, the sergeant
wrote directly to the commanding
general of the base section, which
is a violation of Army regulations.
It was for this crime that he was
convicted and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment at hard labor,
forfeiture of twenty dollars per
month pay, and the reduction to the
rank of private"
Revealed AS Sam Reed
The audience was quite startled
when the presiding officer Of the
meeting, Rev. Clarence T. R. Nell
son, revealed the fact that the SER
geant was Mr.. Reeds son, Sam,
now in the European zone. The
audience was reminded of the fact
by Rev. Nelson, that it was Sam
Reed, who with ten other top SER
geants, wrote a &C. I. Bill Of
Rights" while at Camp Lee in 1912
in protest against conditions in the
Virginia camp, was denoted and
shipped overseas to the North Afri-
can war zone. "Sam Reed has con-
tinued his fight for the rights Of
Negroes in the Army and has been
