About The Gary, Indiana Public School
Strike

1t is all too true that in every section of the nation
there be found in large numbers those who find
tain something which to rejoice in the of last
week that the white students of public school in Gary,
Indiana strike and refused to attend their
classes because Negro students attending the same
school, The purpose of the strike to force the Negro
students attend another perhaps separate school,
Putting aside the question of social equality which
orally arises upon attempts discussion of such
on whether in the North in the South is well that
the Gary school strike be considered in its broader and tar
reaching implications and significance.
It may be well first point that the strike gives
ample demonstration of the spread OF attitudes and bee
that challenge at those who the need OF unity Oh
spirit morale and purpose of the different groups
who compose the people of the United States.
In chaotic and uncertain world the United States
still needs and will need for many of the future unity
among its many different groups AS again demonstrated
the Gary strike racial prejudice intolerance hate and
bgoy the evils in the United States and in the
world today and the evil is not essened because it is di
rected against what may be truthfu called the weakest
element although the largest minority group in the make
up of the nation.
Look at it in its broader and more farreachng sig
nfcance and Implications those who have the and
authority both in the city of Gary the State of Indiana
and in the Nation itself ought consider the strike the
of effect upon relationship now and the fu-
ture growth of relationship with the people OF the rest
CT the world great and powerful nation like Russia has
proven itself be committed to the idea of world equality
of men of all races and the vast millions of China are be-
ginning more rapid awakening that will find them less
likely to easily divided whatever the cause OF scheme
1t seems altogether too naive that this country with all It's
brains its wealth and power will continue cultivate the
doubt ard suspicion of all the darker peoples of the world
who compose three ffths of its population by continuing
and allowing the practice of racial prejudice intolerance
hate and bigotry against thirteen million Negroes-or any
other minority group in its population regardless OF race
creed. or national origin.
What has been already amply proven and demonstrate
cd in the concentration camps and human slaughter houses
in Germany and Japan is that racial prejudice Intolerance
oov and hate are like growth and unless they
are first isolated and finally destroyed themselves phey
will ultimately destroy their victims.
The state of Indiana being northern state the Gary
strike is not the spread Of . among us Wod
refer to believe but is the sign of the spread OF dis
case against which the whole OF the United States shou

chance to shake hands and exchange views
with the men he will have to deal with on

phases Of this World war and in the years

Truman must start from scratch and create

From field of fourteen candidates Will.
mington voters are to select five for mem
bers of the City Council at primary cleo
ton scheduled for April %, one week from
tomorrow.
Among them are four members OF the pres
ent Council, Mayor w. Ronald Lane, Garland
S. Curran, Robert S. LeGwin, and Robert R.
Romeo, and James E. L. Wade who was Com
missioner of Public Works under the com
mission form of government.
The others are:
William Henry Ezzell, former constable;
George W. Brinson, retired baggage master
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company;
John H. Davis, retired captain of police and
head of the traffic squad; Kingsley Lee King
who lacks business experience; Thomas E..
Murrel who operates an automobile parts
business; Walter E. Yopp, motrician and op-
orator of a funeral home bearing his name;
E. R. Mayhan, Wilmington grocer; Ben Nc
Gee, Negro, who is said to be a lawyer
though the records do not show he has prac-
ticed in Wilmington and who was convicted
several years ago on embezzlement and i'm
personating an officer charges, and George
W. Allen, Jr., Negro, owner and operator OF
a funeral home.
Save for the four members of the present
Council and Mr.. Wade. none of this second
group has any experience in municipal af-
fairs. They are politically unknown, represent
ing ''x'' in the administrative equation.
Inasmuch as the new City Council will face
the problems of the postwar era and must
make decisions which will affect Wilmington S
future for many years, the Star-News consid-
ers the election of any of them inadvisable.
The Star-News recommends the election on
