Poll Cites mdecision On

Chicago-Most Negroes are UNI

to accept Jim Grow hospitals in the

Canvassed in the Negro Digest
Poll for March, a broad cross-sec-
ton of the colored population was
found to be at odds on the question

cided one way or another outnum-
Der both pros and antis on the prob

Negro press and among Negro or
CARNATIONS as to whether Jim Grow
veterans hospital in the South
should be accepted rather than no
hospitals at all has evidently still
left public opinion unresolved.
The question asked sampilng

Floating Body
Believed Negro

WAYCROSS, Ga.-tSNS)-- DR..
A. E. Moody conducted re-ex-
animation of the body Of man
found dead and floating in the
Satilla River.
This re examination revealed
that the man was Negro and not
a white man as was thought at
first. There was no clue or posi-

Speculation Il
Successor To
Minister Lanier
J. Jerome Robinson
Mentioned AS One
OF Four Qualified

Washington, d. C.-(NNPA)-
The appointment last Friday of K.
O'Hara Lanier as minister to LII
IBERIA has given rise to wave OF
speculation here as to who will
succeed him as special assistant to
the Chief of the Bureau of Areas OF
the United Relief and Rehabillta-
ton Administration.
UNRRA officials said last Mon
day that while no one had yet been
selected for the position, CORES
pondence had already been ex-
changed with their London offices
discussing the possibility of pro-
noting one Of the agency's top
flight experienced field representa-
tives to the desk post in Washing
ton.
In mentioning UNRRA personnel
which they considered qualified for
the job, officials here cited four
colored men, all with overseas ex-
perience as UNRRA agents.
4 Qualified
Three of them, J. Jerome Robin
son, Herman Washington and NAL
colin Jackson, are now on duty with
UNRRA's assembly center of dis
placed persons III Germany. The
fourth, Earl Pruitt, was formerly
stationed IN Europe with UNRRA
but is employed by the National
Housing Authority in Louisville,
Kentucky.
The problem, the agency said, is
whether or not the London offices
could spare one of its field rep
resentatives from UNRRA work IN
Europe to take a desk job here.
In the case of Pruitt, it is felt
that he is well qualified for the post
but since he has permanent status
with the MIA it is doubtful that
he would accept the job.
Race Advantage
The agency said that while there
was nothing about the position that
would earmark it as one to be hello
only by a colored person, it was
hoped that one would be named te
the post because of the advantage i
afforded the agency in having
someone to assist in the selection
of other qualified colored personnel
Officials added that Mr.. Lanier's
service in this respect had been IN
valuable in raising the callbre o.
colored persons hired by the agency

Drafting OF such a Dill was urged
by Dir. Rafel Pico, a Puerto Rican
delegate to the conference which
was called to consider Caribbean
social and economic problems.
Charles Taussig, chairman of
the United States delegation who
is respected for his sympathetic
interest in the Caribbean Negroes,
had previously counseled delegates
that something concrete must
evolve from this conference for the
benefit of the peoples of this area.
Opposition Cited
Pico, who had the support of
Garnet H. Gordon, Windward Is
land delegate, and G. H. Adams OF
Barbados, received only opposition
from colonial representatives when
he told the conference:
"We need a charter and bill of
rights that will express the hopes
and aspirations of the Caribbean
people in economic, political, and
social matters. A charter of human
rights and obligations should pro-
vide a guide of conduct for a man
in the Caribbean as an individual
on a member of society"
u. S. Chairman Taussig told
the conference of the splendid work
done by 10000 West Indian labor
ers imported to this country during
the war.
'sScrap Of Paper
V. F. Anderson, British Hon
duras delegate, limited that a bill
of rights" for the West Indies at
this time would be just another
"scrap of paper" He declared that
the colonies have complete protec-
ton and assurance of rights under
chapter IL of the UNO charter.
Pico. a former professor of
Northwestern university in the
United States, concluded:
"My hope for the future is that
this Caribbean commission viii be
constituted by full self-governlng
territories from the American
point of view on the basis of Presi-
dent Truman's message to the con-
ference and also, in the future,
that we shall have as a part OF
this commission and conference the
independent republics of the Carib-
beam"

IRIS STYLE THAT COUNTS

Nylon stockings will be plentiful one
of these days, and money will be tighter
than it is now, as result of which the
supply of hose will be above the demand
But let us assume that there had not
been a shortage in nylon stockings, do you
think that women generally would have
been as anxious as they are now to obtain
nylons?
Newspaper stories and radio broad
casts about ,nylen' stockings have glariors
lied them, and the further fact that they hey
have been hard to buy has so worked oa
the, susceptibility efo xoneai, al orsIsdme
women they have looked upon nylons as
a most precious addition to the wardrobe
And yet the time will come when nylons
will become commonplace, as has hap
pened to many another type of attire.
Yet, judging from an Associated Press
dispatch published in The Citizen yester-
day, women in the United States are far
from being as DESTROYS of possessing nylons
as are the women of Mexico, where a pair
of stockings of that material is selling for
$50.
More than 100000 pairs of nylons
have been shipped by American manu-
facturers to Mexico, but the demand is
still so far in excess of the supply the price

Of what consequence is it that some

goose-step down the rANlSNpath which fo1o
tpwed the takeEover' Of 2the lBuenos Aires
government by Colonel Juan D. Peron and
his bully-boys, but in the less damatic. far
more significant picture of the Castillo
regime which came first.
Old, close mouthed Ramon S. Cas-
tlllo. whose name is almost forgotten now,
moved into the Presidency of Argentina
when Roberto M. Ortiz became critically
i'll not long before Pearl Harbor. The men
were worlds apart in their thinking-Ortiz
a pro-democrat who believed in coopera-
ton with Uncle Sam; Castillo an isolation
ist VINO felt Argentina's position as the
Creamery and meat producer for the world
must not be endangered by taking sides.
So during 1912 and 1943, as the demo-
cratic world sacrificed men and morley to
come to grips with the Nazis and the Gaps.
Castillo and his crowd determined 10 do
nethina thatAnight affect trade with both
sides. First came suppression of the press
and radio, the films and the organizations.
Then limitations on Congress and on cleo
tons, on liberty of thought and action-all
In the interests of neutrality, of course.
Some Argentines worried. But most,
prosperous rs never before, selling and
proiiting as rarely in their history, grum-
bled, made jokes, shrugged their shoulders
and did little or nothing to fight for the
democratic rights they were losing. Thew
hoped somebody might ultimately get rid
of the unpopular Castillo. and that it
might be their Army
The Army did. But once the militar-
lists gained poWeE~ obtained recognition
and began epenatings the truth was loat-
Its seizure was not to restore democracy
and suppress the Nazis, but to enchain de-
mocracy and give the Nazis place to hide
out for "a next try.
And as Josephs quotes an unnamed
Argentine: I'VE realized too late that los
ing the will to fight for our rights as free
men; hoping somebody else would do the
job of getting us the democracy we
wanted. meant that we lost our chance
through neglect and Indifference"
Argentines are fighting for democ-
racy today. But their lesson is one no
American, North or South, can afford to
overlook.
