WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 QNS)-The world
faced a new era of explosive energy today as pro-
duction of atomic bombs by -Anglo-Ameriean
scientists gave Japan a choice between immediate
unconditional surrender and rain of ruin from
the air.
President Truman gave the Japanese this choice in
nouncng American production of atomic bombs, which
have the blasting effect of 10000 tons of TINT and 1000
times power than any other explosive used by

LEADING OPPONENTS

Mayor Jeffries was making
bid for a fourth term, opposed by
Richard T. Frankensteen, vice
president OF the UAW-CIO, and
by James d. Friel. chairman OF
the county board Of auditors.
The two leaders in the ballot
ing today will be candidates in
the runon next November.
Each OF the three leading
mayoralty candidates predicted
he would lead the primary race,
but the key to the outcome may
rest in the response OF labor TO
Frankensteen's candidacy.
Besides nominating candidates
for mayor. the voters today will
name 10 candidates for common
council and two each for city
clerk, city treasurer and one place
in the traffic division of recorders
court.
All incumbent councllmen are
seeking reelection except Henry
S. Sweeny, who is retiring.

ments OF the President and Slim
son that the Allied scientists have
produced a method by which they
can tell in advance the exact sec
ond at which their doctored atoms
will explode
The war departments account
OF the New Mexican experiment
showed that the explosion created
a binding light, turned steel into
gas, blew down men 10 miles
away. made a blind girl see light
l20 miles away, dissolved clouds
and opened the earth.
Stimson disclosed that Ameri-
can scientists can produce low

President and StimSon said they
also had produced the most deadly
weapon ever devised by man.
This means that in one process
the splitting OF the atom Is gen

FURTHER EXPERIMENTS

Hence il is no surprise that
further experiments are in order
before demonstrating can be
turned to peaceful pursuits. AT
present, the one process would not
broil a steak; in the other, il
would dissolve the stove and the
griddle.
All the present explosive dis

racial groups. The native Haitian
has a better place in international
affairs than the American Negro.
They all have racial stature due to
the fact that they have a father
land. The article published in the
AMSTERDAM NEWS described
how the Indians considered most
American-Negroes as coolies, and
as you know, coolie is on the low
est rung of the Indian society. 1t
matters not whether the white man
spread that propaganda, the fact
is that the Indian regards the Ne
gro as such mainly because he can
not compete with the Liberian who
has consulates in many large Euro
pean countries as well as in Ameri-
ca. The American-Negro is not
represented at all on the interna-
tional scene because he is part and
parcel of America, which
whether we like it or not, is fun
damentally white.
There has been a conflict over
the years among the Negro leader
ship on whether the American
Negro will profit most by accept
ing some or a lot of segregation in
establishing his identity from in
tense nationalism as advocated by
Marcus Garvey and others fighting
his battle or to make America, the
land of his birth, accept him as a
free and equal citizen based on his
kinship with the land. All around
US are examples of whites main
tanning their nationaistic connec-
ton through the hyphenation of
their names. The Negro leadership
of today persists in following
blindly the pattern that out of the
weller of conflicting views and
viewpoints having to do with the
rights by law theory, eventually
the Negro will be accepted.
1t would appear that in our pres
ent state, where we are outcasts
from every organized phase Of
American society, that we will
have to accept some amount of
self-determination and nationalism
to achieve any sort of status that
will alleviate our condition. 1t is
disheartening to say the least for
the thousands of Negro graduates
from universities, colleges, and
high schools each year to find out
that the things they have been
taught in school are false in so far
as they, themselves, are concerned
The competent young Negro girl
who has a degree in, say, design
ing or business administration
finds it something of a blow when
she is turned down right and left
solely because she is colored. She
is turned down, please note, not
because she is American, but be-
cause she belongs to a minority

group in America that has no
status beyond that Of wards of the
government.
In the great national emergen-
cies such as the one this nation has
just gone through, some of the re-
strictions based on color or in en-
ployment are lifted and some of
our capable and qualified people
are allowed to work in the places
where they are barred from during
peace time. But we are not seeking
such temporary advantages. The
things we want are permanent. We
must think in the light of "what
will tomorrow bring?" and in
thinking in this way, we will find
that through being bound closer
together through bonds of nation
aism and the desire of self-deter-
mination within the framework of
American democracy We might
achieve our goal far more quickly
than it appears now.
Most Negroes have been educated
to be ashamed of Africa as a
homeland. 1t is common to hear
highly educated Negroes declare,
81 don't know anything about
Africa. was born here in Ameri-
ca. This is my home and this is
the land that my fathers fought
and died for and I intend to get
from it what is due me-" Others
poke fun at African culture, Afri-
can art, and only give lip service
to a racial Identification with
Africa when national emergencies
arise in which British might go
on record as barring native Afri-
cans from London or flogging ma
tive African soldiers or working
them to death for a pittance a day.
All this must be undone. 1t is a
false misconception. While none of
US have any intentions of picking
up and going back to Africa, be-
cause, incidentally, there is no
place there for US since the white
man has taken over all its inhabit-
able parts, we can think of Africa
and keep Africa in mind as a native
land, sort of Zion as exemplifed
in the Jewish philosophy of the
national homeland in Palestine.
Don't worry, the Jewish people
have the same fight among them
selves over the question of nation
aism and internationalism as we
do. The same goes for other races,
but usually the nationalist in these
racial groups win out. Only the
American Negro laughed at Africa
and proclaimed its kinship with
America through the use of the
hyphenated word American-Negro.
Sometimes it might be good to
wonder and think on this one phase
of natiOnalism: do you know that
we really would not be able to have
any sort of Negro businesses, in
surance companies, newspapers,
grocery stores, hotels, or what not
if we were accepted and integral
ed as Americans" In other words,
this very newspaper which you are
reading would not exist if we did
not have to accept certain amount
of natiOnalism, which involves also
the acceptance of segregation. That
was a reason for the resignation
of DR.. w. E. B. Dubois from the
NAACP several years ago after
he found that a complete integra-
ton program of the organization
he helped to found would not apply
to the case of a people in need of
work, food, and security, first.

Save Our Forests
From DespOliatiOn

Editor: If the policy of the Con-
servation Department had always
prevailed, there would be no Supe-
rior National Forest.
Many of US, and we believe that
we bespeak for the great majority
of Minnesota citizens, wish to have
this area preserved as a wilder
ness. We have opposed sacking it
as being unjust and foolhardy. We
have pointed out time after time
that logging, opening up the area
to hunting, as the Department
urges and condones. and the build
ing of resorts, will mean more
roads, more airplane travel, thence
fires and finally the end of the
wilderness.
There is only one way it can be
preserved and that is through the
program outlined in the Shipstead-
Nolan Act which demands that all
of the lands in the area designated
by Congress be under the control
of one governmental agency. These
lands must be publicly owned-the
State cannot buy them; the United
States can buy them!
If we want more than a skeleton
of virgin timber, some token of
magnifcence of nature, we need to
make possible the complete federal
acquisition of lands in the Superior
National Forest wilderness area.
When Commissioner Chester Will
son and Forestry Director Weber
seek to block this program, they
are joining hands with those

ophy of a yesteryear, measuring

founded and confused, but it is still
