Foreign Policy That
Follows FDR Style
Demanded

| Los Angles, California. - An
American foreign policy which will
not follow British imperialism with
its oppression of colonial peoples
and domestic policy that will
follow the Roosevelt program, was
demanded by Loren Miller, promi-
nent Western Negro leader, in a
remarkable speech being read and
discussed by leading Negroes this
week.
The Los Angles attorney, in an
address before the Conference of
Nation Associates, on the Negroes
hopes for the '46 election, declar-
ed, Negroes want positive pro-
gram to end Jim Crow"
Stunning up these aspirations, he
stated, ''The Negro hopes the 1916
election will result in the election
OF Senators and Congressman who
will help shape an American for
eign policy that is not designed
to prop up the British empire and
q domestic policy that can be
roughly described as a continuation
of the New Deal of the first two
Roosevelt administrations.
Attacking reactionary groups in
both parties, he urged the Negro
voter to exercise his Judgment as
an independent voter, ut is per-
fectly obvious that neither Of the
old parties is committed to a pro-
gram which meets the tests l have
outlined. The practical choice is
between them and their candidates.
The Negro voter must seek indivi-
dual candidates whose views meet
his specifications"
Showing how closely economic
interests of Negro groups are con-
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1946-10-26

nected, Miller continued, "The over
wheIming majority of Negroes are
lower bracket workingmen and far
mers. Negro businessmen and pro-
fessional men confined by tradition
60 trade or practice among these
groups, and directly dependent on
them for profits and fees, must be
concerned with the welfare Of their
clients or customers. Enlightened
selfishness dictates a working al
lance. The common goal is the
achievement OF national uolicy
that will give these low income
people a larger share of the nation
al income"
Miller emphasized the influence
OF Jim Crow on the Negroes at
titudes. Complete political equ-
atty = the one thing America de-
nieshim, the one thing it grants
most freely to other Americans -
seems to the Negro the one most
important of American citizenship
+. The largest common denomina-
tor in Negro thinking is hatred
for, resentment against the caste
system; it profoundly affects pol
itical actions and judgments"

federal aid in his investigation.
Jones had been arrested after a
white woman allegedly accused
him of attempting to break into
her home. He was released when
she failed to place a formal charge
against him.
Attaches of the sheriff's office
said Harris reported that he and
Jones were accosted by "some
white men" behind the Jail shortly
after being freed.
The sheriff said he had heard
"about a little disturbance" be-
hind the Jail shortly after the two
men were released. He said that
someone reported he heard voice
pleading, "Please don't take me"
Harris said he and Jones were
forced into different cars. He
said he didn't know what happen
ed to Jones because he had been
knocked unconscious by a head
blow shortly after entering the
car.
Sheriff Haynes said he couldn't
recall" the name of the white
woman who made the complaint
about Jones. He added that Jones
had a large collection of "nude
white women" in his pocket when
the body was found.

TEXAS IN LEGAL CONFUSION

Some months past Herman Marion Sweatt, a Negro made application for admittance to the University of Texas Law School. He was denied ad- mission on the basis of race. He filed suit and District Judge Roy Archer ruled that Texas must set up a Negro law school for Sweatt by December 17th or permit him to enter the school at Texas University.
 Now that the time to fulfill this requirement is close upon the state of Texas, three major developments have arisen. First Sweatt has refused to be part of a separate law school. Second, though the State is supposed to afford $25,00O a year for send ing Texas Negroes outside the state for education, the 49th legislature made no such ap- propriation. Third, at least 10 University of Texas campus groups have held a meeting in support of Sweat s admittance-

BAD MAN DAVIDSON
 CAUGHT BY LAW

New York-Last August a group of petty New York gangsters had a. brawl in tavern with some Negroes. The gang was led by William (Lit- tie Gangy) Davidson, brother of Al Bunny" Davis, a for mer pugilist who was killed a few months back trying to prevent hold-up.
 Following Gangy's alterca- tion in the Tavern he and two members of his gang rode dow Thatchford Ave-, in Brooklyn, N. Y. and fired into a group of Negroes, wounding James Daniels 35, and Ray mond Barnes, 8.
 Davidson's record prior to arrest for this incident show ed that he had been arrested 24 times with only a single conviction. But Judge Liebo- witz, who won fame in the ia nous Scottsboro case was the defense attorney and sealed the fate of Little Gangy" this time who now faces a possible sentence of from 20- 40 years in prison.
 Aaron Stewart the propri- etor of a store in front of which the shooting occurred last August was a witness for the defense despite the fact the morning of the trial he had been visited by two stran- gers who threw $500 on his counter and advised him not to appear at the trial to give tes- tlmony.

WINCHELL IS WRONG ABOUT DEMOCRACY

Atlantic City It seems that Walter Winchell made the statement that Russell Patter- son and Doug Hertz were look ing about the country for a beautiful Negro girl to enter in the Miss America beauty con test at Atlantic City in 1947.
 The local morning newspaper in Atlantic City became frantic about the possibilities involved in such a quest and set out to officially squelch the same. They dug up the rules and came out wiht this weigthy opinion ::
 Illustrator Patterson and Hertz, playboy scion of the drive-it-yourself auto family, probably have a commendable idea, but they haven't read the rules. The official Rules, Regu- lations and Instructions for Contestants, rule number 6, statse: Contestants must be in good health and of the white race.'
 So it would seem that MT. Winchell's conception of demo- cracy is all wrong in this in stance.

NAACP YOUTH
 IN UPRISING

New Orleans: The Eighth Annual Youth Conference held here was not a very hap py one from the standpoint of the national board of the MA ACP. Things were sailing along very nicely until some veterans signed and submit ted the. following resolution:
 "Since we constitute the largest youth organization of it's kind in America today, and since we feel that, in a democ- racy, every voice should be heard, we demand youth rep resentation of not less than four members on the national board of directors.
 It is alleged that this move ment comes out of a long time dissatisfaction of the Youth Groups of the NAACP to the complete domination of their activities by the senior branch es and the national office. Both of whom it is felt hand down decisions and rules without much consideration for the ad- ministrative possibilities of the youth.
 It is estimated that the youth group in the Association ap- proximates about 25,O00 mem bers under 25 years of age.

.LINCOLN'S HOME
 PREJUDICE LADEN

Sprinfield, Ill.-Look Maga- zine for December gives pret- ty depressing racial picture of Abrahams Lincoln's home town. The only integrated feature in the life of the whole city as far as whites and Negroes are concerned, are the public schools.
 There is a Negro population of approximately 5000, all of whom are denied an opportun- ity to make a comfortable liv- ing, except a mere handful, most of whom work for the gov ernment.
 Likewise all of the restaur- ants and even hamburg stands reserve the right to refuse ser vice for fear they may offend the white patronage.
 The December Look not only tells the story in words but they have pictured the same very graphically.

MISS. NEGROES FACE BlBO

Jackson, Miss. - The opening : session of the Senate investi- gation committee of the al legged election. discrepancies of Senator Bilbo marked a new era in the white Negro rela- tions in the South. Contrary to the belief of many 15O Ne groes appeared as witnesses against MT. Bilbo in his home state. It was felt that there had been such a thorough cam paign of intimidation that Ne groes would fear to appear at such a public hearing.
 Senator Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana who is chairman of the Investigating committee and his tone in questioning the witnesses was not one to in spire confidence. Neither does his presence inspire confidence when his record on the Negro in Congress is reviewed. For during the depression when he sat on a committee that was reviewing the inadequate re- lief quota for the District of Columbia, in substance he said he was opposed to its being raised because so mnay Ne groes were on relief and he would see them all starve be- fore sanctioning a higher quo ta than existed in Louisiana.
 But irrespective of the chair mans attitude or record, Ne groes and whites testified to all sorts of legal infringe ments of rights from horse whippings to being threaten ed with guns.
 The other members of the five man committee are Burnet R. Maybank, South Carolina; Elmer Thomas, : Oklahoma; Bourke Hickenlooper Iowa and Styles Bridges, New Hampshire.
