 do anything else to a Negro with impunity. I once wit messed a policeman in Mont gomery, Alabama stop a driver (Negro) who had merely passed a stop sign. He beat him over the head and shoulders with his blackjack, but did not arrest him, assuming, I guess, that the beating would suffice for the traffic violation. That was the law of the South in operation. And one wonders why every Negro in the South hates a Southern COP.

THE PRICE
 OF MEAT As who is concerned with the supply of meat and the price of meat you entitled know right now these unacceptable facts:
 Meat supplies are at a record low Supply lines empty People who haven't had much meat lately want ii. But will fake lime 10 restore meal reial counters When there is little meat and everybody wants ii the price is bound to rise But meat is coming in the months ahead and supplies increase and approach the demand the price is bound to level off, Thas the law of supply and demand in operation Nobody repeal ii.
 Nobody in the meat business controls prices. Consum. determine price by what they willing pay for meat Thai determines whai retailers pay meal packers for it. and finally in ur what the meat packrs can afford pay for meat animals.
 Right now of course there is bound 10 be stiff competition in the buying of livestock There gre thousands meat pro- cessors all anxious to restore their businesses Competitors the business want all the animals they buy.so they will have meat to sell and inc best price will get inc animals There also is keen competition in the sale of meat because meat processors must have customers and the lowest prices for meat will get the business.
 So as meat gradually starts to return shortly to the counters of retail stores we urge consumers:
 Don't insist on only inc ancesi kinds and cuts
 2-Do shop around for the best buys in meal There
 is as much good nutrition in savory stew as there
 is in fancy porierhouse.
 Ii the earnest desire of the meat packing industry that quickly as possible. again may find retail counters everywhere the kind of meat they want when they want ii, at fair competitive prices like used to be few years ago. Remember?

all paid lobbyists operating in the open, with heavy penalties for any failure to make complete accounting for their work.
 Whatever potency the act has lies in this sub jection of the lobbying to the foodighS of publicity In registering with the clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate lobbyists must state their and addresses the names of their em- poyers the amount of their salaries and expenses. They must file quarterly reports under oath giving an accounting for all money collected and spent, with the of the donors and of those to whom money has been dsbursed To make possible accurate and complete reports lobbyists required to keep detailed records of all contributions and expenditures If the press is on the job that it will be, who is trying to influence the enactment or defeat of legislation before Congress and to what means employed
 The framers of this act showed admirable restraint. It does not muzze anyone. It does not put lobbyists under cloud of official dsapproval Rather recognized lobbying the legitimate activity which it is in democracy and merely requires that those who seek influence the of legislation mak> themselves and their activities known to Congress and the public To be sure, the lobbyist who is compelled to reveal himself the spokesman for big business for a union, a veterans farm organization other special interest group may find his influence defated That precisely the purpose of the law Legislators will be able to distinguish clearly than before, the plea of organized money from that of individual citizens It will be interesting, indeed, to see how this forcing of lobbyists out into the open will affect the quality and character of legislation.

"Plain American Citizens"
(NeW York TimeS)

William G. Williams, TO- describes himself a plain citizen" Acting in that capacity, he protested to various Government agencies against what he though an inconsistentcy in Government policy-delivering ultimaums to Yugoslava with one hand and handing over ce-making machines with the other The shipment stopped.
 Few American citizens, either plain or fancy, prob ably can expect to their initial effort the success that MT Williams achieved. That should not deter anyone from trying. Nor does it remove the responsibility for trying. The very essence of democ racy is that the individual citizen participate in government And not alone by exercise of the fran chise at the ballot box, which is about the only the great majority ever do participate
 Too often it is only the fanatics who go to the trouble of telling public servants what they think is wrong with operations Their efforts clutter up the mail and put all suggested reforms in dsrepute But this is all the more reason why those with sensible ideas should take the trouble to present them. If official could count at least sensible idea in thousand he might think worth the effort to wade through them all. The War Department certainly found it worth while. It set up system of bonuses in plants for money saving or time saving ideas idea alone it announced recently, saved the Government $3OO0O0O Many industrial plants also plant improvement from their employees.
 AS MT. Williams can testify. it requires determna tion and stamina to get idea accepted sometimes. If it is good it should be worth the effort MT Williams will have done wider service than he prob ably intended if he starts others to evaluating Gov ernment operations with critical but constructive eye
