Go South and change the things
which ought to be changed" is the
advice given young white South
erners who express to Associate
Justice Hugo Black of the United
States Supreme Court, an Alabam-
an, their disagreement with the
South's traditional backwardness
toward Negroes, it was told to this
columnist during special interview
with this famed jurist in his cham
bers during National Negro News
paper Week.
Justice Black, while Senator,
introduced the first wage and hour
law. The first federal aid to edu-
cation bill was Mr.. Blacks brain
child.
THE basic cause Of our prob
lem in the South is poverty, there

part a grab and take all policy.
Higher wages, decent housing, ade-
quate educational facilities for all

That philosophy is the thing
which moved Franklin Delano
Roosevelt to name Justice Black to
the Supreme Court.
| told Justice Black that | was
extremely impressed by having seen
him at the Wendell l.. Willkie
Awards dinner on the evening on
which the dinner was held, and he
expressed the desire that | should
come to see him at the Supreme
Court the next morning.
Although there were some of the
biggest newspaper editors, publish
eTs, columnists, Representatives
and Senators present with the thir-
ty odd representatives of the Ne
gro Press, did not expect to see
any admitted Southerners present.
told Mr.. Black that in my opin-
ion it is a very fine thing to see
men in high positions such as he,
take time out and move among
the people, to look them in the face,
hear them talk and think out loud,
to know them as they are, and not
as some one else says they are,
who regard them as untouchables.
Justice Black replied, there are
no big and little people in this
| country, we are all just human
observation-disclosures" He revealed
himself to me as man of courage
and righteousness and with a very
good mind.
While on Capitol Hill during
special interviews, | discovered that
there are about 30 Congressmen-a

Spotlight

British Imperialism and colonial
policy deter colored Americans from
supporting the proposal for an anti
Communist Anglo-American alli-
ance made by Winston Churchill,
former British Prime Minister, in
his Fulton (Mo.) speech. The rule
Of people by other people is not
the freedom that colored peoples,
who fought with the United Ma
tions, fought to preserve.
This country could be made to
look less ridiculous in the eyes of
the world if House and Senate
rules were changed so that men
with anti-Negro and anti-Jewish
attitudes like Rankin and Bilbo
could not hold key positions simply
by reason of seniority. And what
is said of Rankin, Bilbo and their
ilk may also be said of reaction
airy Republicans. Fitness and not
seniority ought to govern selection
of committee chairmen.
No tears will be shed over the
decision Of Representative Hatton
W. Summers, of Texas, chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee,
not to seek reelection. He has con-
sistently sought to bury anti-poll
tax legislation in the Judiciary
Committee only to have it ulti-
mately emerge (when the House
voted to discharge the committee
from further consideration of the
measure) and be passed by that
body.

Political
Roundup
BY Arthur Naftalin

Former Governor Harold Stas-
sens decision not to run for office
in 1916 is one of those historic
actions the pros and cons Of which
will be discussed for many years
to come. His critics regard it as
a confession Of weakness and in
sist that he is running away from
a head-on clash with Henrik Ship
stead. They believe it has weak
ened his chances for the Presi-
dency. The majority of his loyal
supporters, however, are enthusi-
astic about the decision. They feel
that it increases his stature as a
statesman and that-while there
will be some anxious moments until
Thye's victory of which they are
confident is assured-it strengthens
Stassen's Presidential possibilities.
Some Stassen supporters, how
ever, are critical of the move. They
are fearful that, with Thye out
of the governorship, the stability
of the state COP organization may
be threatened. They have great
confidence in Associate Justice
Luther Youngdahl as the favored
COP successor to Thye, but are
worried about possible upsets.
With the big question of who
will oppose Shipstead in the COP
primary settled, the state political
spotlight now shifts to the Demo-
cratic Farmer Labor state conven-
ton which meets Saturday, March
80, in St. Paul. A first-class fight
for party control is shaping up,
and upon the outcome of this will
hinge the party's strategy for the
1916 elections.
The so-called left-wing, supported
largely by the CIO-PAC, is de-
termined to defeat the forces led
by Elmer F. Kelm, state DFL chair
man who is resigning after his con-
firmation as Collector of Internal
Revenue. Left-wing leaders insist
they are not seeking party control
but their vigorous organiZational
efforts have aroused bitter opposi-
ton reminiscent of the heated fac
tionalism of the old Farmer-Labor
days.
The right-wing is confident that
it will control the state convention
and its leaders maintain that the
left-wing influence, in terms of
strength at the polls, has so di-
minished that the party will be
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-03-22

best served if the left-wing is de-
livered a sound defeat in conVen-
ton. The left-wing, on the other
hand, believes that control by the
old Democratic forces will make it
impossible to develop a vigorous
and militant program. More neu-
trail leaders are hopeful that diff
ferences can be reconciled and
strong party, without domination
by either faction, can emerge from
the convention.
Pressure upon Hubert H. Hum
phrey, mayor of Minneapolis, to
run as the DFL candidate tor either
Senator or Governor is beginning
to mount. He is heavily engaged
in an extensive series of municipal
projects and has stated that he
wants to complete his job as mayor
before considering higher office. 1t
appears unlikely that he will file
for state office, but the door has
not been completely shut on the
idea.
With interest conferred on Stas-
sens decision there has been only
scattered mention of possible DFL
candidates. Among names certain
to be seriously considered for either
governor or senator is Associate
justice Harry II. Peterson. He has
not indicated any desire to be a
candidate but pressure for him to
run is certain to become intense
before too long.
DFL strategy is somewhat con-
fused by the activity of the NC
PAC whose Independent Voters Of
Minnesota has declared it's inten-
ton of endorsing candidates in both
COP and DFL primaries. While
the NC-PAC group has been estab-
lished independently of the ClO-
PAC, both PAC groups draw in
spiration from the same source.
AS a result, there is a feeling that
their campaign activity may be di-
vided between the two parties with
the result that the position of the
liberal Republicans will be
strengthened at the expense of the
DFL.
Elections this year are certainly
off to an early start. Harold Stas-
sens address in support of Thye
and Youngdahl on March IA opened
a campaign which does not end
until November 5. Thus, there will
be almost 8 months of continuous
activity. Already the woods are
filled with host of political COM
mittees: The Minnesota Republican
Volunteers, three PAC groups, the
Independent Voters of Minnesota,
the Independent Citizens Commit
tee, the Enlisted Veterans of Amer
lea, and the United Labor Com
mittee, to mention but a few of
the more prominent.

In 1888 Congress passed a law
which granted capitalization to
veterans with non-service connected
disabilities, diseases or defects as
long as there was space in VA
hospitals for them and if the vet
eran could not afford to pay for
medical attention.
Non-service connected disabili-
ties are disabilities received which
are not connected with the military
service, and although there is lady
colonel in the Surgeon Generals Of
nee who is raising molly hell about it,
the VA is standing pat on its ruling
that pregnancy is not a disability,
disease or defect and therefore ex-
Wacs and nurses cannot have their
babies in VA hospitals. (Stop laugh
