WE LOOK TO INTELLECTUALS

w II LOOn III
1t might seem vindictive and odd
that these pieces have been direct
ed against the intellectual Negro
and the things that he is doing,
but the fact remains that all Ne
groes. including the great masses
Of US. have been schooled to look to
our intellectually for guidance and
for practical and concrete ways out
of the confusion that exists. sur-
rounding our present and future.
The little Negro. and there are mill
lions of them, as compared to the
comparatively few intellectuals. has
a right to expect something defin-
ite out of the people who nave as
sumed leadership over him, n
this should be so-.-.right now more
than at any other time. because of
pressing issues that confront us on
all sides.
Here in Harlem, the incident that
illustrates this argument took place
at a restaurant in 125th Street.
which is in the heart of the Negro
district. The restaurant in ques-
ton is Franks, which for years re
fused to allow the Negro to darken
the door, and then, when Harlem
started filling up with migrants
from the South and from other sec
tons. the management accepted Ne
gro patronage but segregated it by
seating all the Negroes yer behind
a partition. In the dayes of the
partition, which were only four
years ago. our best Negroes could
be found standing in line, waiting
for tables. They were artists,
writer's, politicians, preachers,
school teachers, professionals, head
of colleges. and musicians. They
seem to think it a great honor to
dine under such conditions.

CAN'T GET JOBS on BROADWAY

The white man had a place in
Harlem that didn't hire Negroes.
There are hundreds of Negro wait
ers capable, with years of exper-
fence and polish out of work. These
Negroes should not work in the big
paying jobs of Broadway. despite
all the ballyhoo about racial under
standing. good will, cooperation
and etc. If they can't work in
Harlem, where in the hell are they
going to work. and that is the
point that the Negro union men
saw at once and one hat Negro in
tellectuals and ~socialites refused
to see over the years that Franks
practiced it's discrimination. Need
less to say that our picket line in
front of Franks broke Town all re-
s~istance on the part of the manage

in which four Negroes we're put to

maintain maximum employment and
decent standards for all workers.
The telegram, released by the Rev
erend Richard Morford, Executive
Secretary, on behalf of six national
unofficial church social action groups
which cooperate through the United
Christian Council, warned that with
out an overall, completely coordi-
mated production plan geared to
quickest possible re%conversion to CT
william manufacture under government
direction and government enforce
ment if necessary, we shall be in
chaos, with vast numbers of former
war workers unemployed for whom
no provision has been made.
Support for the Presidents own
recommendations for unemployment
insurance for war workers was
pledged by the Council which also
declared in favor of increased protec-
ton for returning CTS. At the same
time the Council emphasized its sup
port of the constructive program for
full employment as embodied III the
Murray-Patman bills now pending in
the conviction that it should be the
policy and responsibility of our gov
eminent to open up maximum job OPP
portunities." IF we take care of the
workers adequately, the welfare Of
all will be assured"
The permanent Fair Employment
Practice Committee and a minimum
wage of at least Csc per hour to as
sure a decent standard Of living for
all American workers were included
as essential items by the Council in
the comprehensive legislative pro-
gram. IF the Congress comes back
promptly to tackle its unfinished bust
ness in cooperation with you" the
Councils message to Mr.. Truman
concludes, we pledge the full use of
our resources to enlist our conStitu-
ency of progressive church leaders
over the country in the support of a
progressive, hard-hitting, c%omprehen-
sive program to accomplish rapid re
conversion in these next critical
months and to maintain maximum en-
ployment.

Gentlemen:
This is a protest against the
proposed high dam at Umatilla.
Why does our chamber of COM
merce so whole heartedly endorse
this without first getting facts
from farmers and communities
who are to be affected adversely
by, the high dam?
Our section gains nothing and
loses hundreds of acres Of valu-
able farms and orchards, where 1t
is acknowledged, we raise some
of the finest products and fruits
in the Northwest.
It is easy, naturally, for neigh
boring states to give it enthus.
iastic support, and get behind
it. They expect to. reap wide
though somewhat vague and neb-
ulous benefits. We pay by hav-
ing our land ruined by seepage
water, paying for power gener-
ated by said dam to pump seep-
age back into river again. We
pay by giving up our farms and
homes.
They tell US the high dam is
needed for power and navigation.
To transport what, from where?
Secretary Wallace, at recent
press conference said, 81 would
like to visit the West Coast to
consult with business leaders and
government officials there on the
grave problems which will arise
as soon as the war Is over. Coulee
Dam power now used for the pro-
duction Of war necessities will
present q very great planning
problem as far as government
and private industry are con-
cerned. I have not yet had time
to study the scope Of the fields
in which excess power might be
used" II
A concerted protest to our con-
gressmen might help to prevent
this, and throw some light on the
damages that will be suffered by
the communities along the Co
lumbia. It seems useless to pro-
test to those Immediately in
charge here. We are glibly prom
ised to be adequately taken care
Of" Richland was given the
same promises. Yet with few ex-
cepdons, these promises are being
fought out in court. Too many
people are being affected for this
to be passed over with the trite
greatest good for the greatest
NUMBER It smacks a little too
much of dictatorship and des-
potism. - Estelle NJ. Cranmer.
