land-grabbinR band Of night-rid-
ers, the Khan grew to become
something above the law when it
came 10 dealing with Negroes. As
the prOpagators and defenders Of
lynch-law, the Khan has covered
the history Of America with shame.
Overwhelmed by the wrath and
Indignation of decent Americans,
the Khan was dissolved some years
ago, and many Of its members we're
called to account before the law
which they had openly houted.
Following a long period during
which II dared not operate, openly,
the Ku Klux Khan has come alive
again, and apparently expects to
find Negroes everywhere just wait
ing to be frightened and lynched
to death. However, there have
been some changes made in the
interval between the hey-day Of
the terrorist and the present re-
surgence. Negroes have learned
to defend themselves against law
less attacks, and the nation has
learned much from the second world
slaughter now drawing to a close
II was racial doctrine similar
to that Of the Klan's that was re-
sponsible for World War Two. and
the NAZi mobsters who destroyed
and crucifed acted in much the
same manner as the Klansmen do.
II has been reported that the
Khan originally adopted the white
sheet regalia because it made the
members look like ghosts, and Ne
groes were supposed to be afraid
Of ghosts. That may or may not
have been true back in the days
when superstition gripped America
so strongly the good citizens Of
New England were not above ex-
ecuting a woman because she was
suspected Of being witch, but
this Is a new day.
Negroes are not afraid Of the
most superior Caucasian on a man
to man basis, and they are in an
improved position to do something
effective about superior Caucasian
mobs that come looking for trouble.
Heretofore. as | pointed out in
another column, the price law
less mob has had TO pay for at
lacking Negroes has been negli-
gible, and consequently, there has
not been too much hesitancy on
the part Of these gangsters to liven
up dull evening by kicking up
merry hell in the Negro section.
However, those are no longer the
conditions that prevail
The law Is stronger in the sec
tons formerly dominated by the
Khan. and the Federal government
is prepared to take over should
the community guardians fail to
do their duty. Negroes everywhere
are learning that il is no more
painful to die fighting back against
an unjust and unwarranted attack
than it is to stand still and take
II without defense. There may
or may not be some disturbed mo-
mentS in American racial history,
according to the limits to which
the Khan is prepared to go, but
one thing is certain, there will be
a few white sheets messed up II
the program is to terrOTize the
Negro.
DR.. Green is repeatedly quite
proud to be the head Of what he
calls one hundred per cent Ameri-
can organization, and he must eN-
pect that Negro Americans will
be waiting to match his Ameri-
canism in any way he selects to
demonstrate his claim.

FOES SEEK CUSTER OF
NAA(p pRExY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April l
(ANP)-A provocative plot by II
disgruntled individuals to sabotage
the recently-announced progressive
program of the NAACP in this
city, with its widespread benefits
to the thousands of Negroes here,
came to light.
Disregarding the welfare and
advancement Of the NAACP's IT,
900 local members and the city's
100000 Negroes, the II "obstruo-
tionists" are seeking to discredit
the present administration headed
by Magistrate Joseph H. Rainey by
petitioning the NAACP national
headquarters to remove him from
office and appoint individuals to
the branch's executive committee
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-04-01

til the public's attention was drawn
to the fact by a startling and strik-
ing cartoon which read, "A hog can
go from coast-to-coast without
changing his car, but you can't"
The picture showed a fat hog puff
ing a cigar standing in the door
way of his private car, while the
poor hornswoggled public looked
on in envy. This did it. Immediately
the railroad began making plans.
But it was left to the porters.
Officials complained they couldn't
get porters to make this long four
day run. But they were wrong, they
didn't know their employees. The
porters were eager for this run and
there was great competition among
them to get the fine cars which will
make the long trek.
Starting March 81, seven rail-
roads merged tnelr services TO Iuf-
nish the through trip. From New
York and Washington, the Penn
sylvania, New York Central and
Baltimore and Ohio will cooperate
with roads out of Chicago, ST.
Louis, Memphis, New Orleans with
one car per day in each direction.
New modern equipment will be
ready for these runs by next fall,
it is predicted, furnishing the most
attractive types of travel for pas
sengers who are California minded.
So it is up to the pullman porters
and they came through as they u.s.
ually do.

ton of their own choosing and di-
rection could be developed into a
rival.
1t was learned that the sigma
tors were Clifford B. Moore, hus-
band of Mrs. Carolina D. Moore,
former executive secretary; Oscar
M. Nickerson, Paul j. Bowman,
Mrs. Susie Washington, Richard C.
Dabney Jr., Robert O. Diggs,
James H. Jones, Alvie C. White,
George B. Morris, John Temple
and Eugene H. Clarke Jr., young
attorney who was defeated for the
presidency by Rainey at the last
elections.
Of this group, Clarke, White and
Morris are listed as members of
the local executive committee. None
showed up at last Fridays special
meeting at which the charges were
made known.

troll of local policy and administra-
ton.
Utilizing a loosely drawn docu-
ment, they aver that Rainey should
be removed because: he did not
read some minutes from a previous
meeting; that he was responsible
for ruling out resolution despite
the fact that the ruling in question
was made by Theodore Spaulding,
former president; that he increased
the executive committee from 27
to 35; and that he was responsible
for borrowing $500 from the ma
tional headquarters without the ap-
proval of the local membership de-
spite the fact that the money was
borrowed and spent before he as
sumed office.
Initial knowledge of the exis-
tence of the charges came at a spe-
cial meeting of the branch's eXecu-
tive committee last Friday in the
Christian Street YMCA.
1t was explained that Walter
White, national secretary, had sent
Rainey a copy of the charges by
registered mail. In the letter White
stated that the national office had
10 alternative in the matter, being
bounded by it's constitution to re-
view the charges and that DISPOSE
ton of the charges was the exclu-
sive prerogative of the board of di-
rectors of the national headquar-
ters.
The NAACP constitution states
that on petition of any single mem
Der, action can be taken to remove
any officer of a local branch. This
means that if only one person here
asks the national board to impeach
an Individual and the national
board, having sole jurisdiction in
the matter, decides to do so, it
would make no difference how the
16,999 other Philadelphia members
felt about the matter, as there is no
appeal from the decision of the ma
tional board.
The upshot of the impeachment
development has created a situa-
tion atomic in proportion. Present
are that the time may
have arrived when the entire lid
will be blown off the workings of
Philadelphia's Negro organiza-
tions, with many starting aspects
for public scrutiny.
One factor in this connection is
the calling of special meeting for
Thursday at the Catherine Street
YWCA of the entire 1900 mem
bers at which time the entire mat
ter will be reviewed for their ac-
ton. Cards were mailed to all mem
bers and it is likely that attend
ance will break all records for a
branch meeting here.
