GLORIOUS MILESTONE

The tenth anniversary convention of the National Negro Congress projected to take place in Detroit Thurs day May 30, through Sunday June 2, will celebrate decade of achievement by the major grass root mass laid their main emphasis from the beginning, upon only the problems affecting the oppressed of Negroes but also the necessity of developing leadership them to voice their grievances and aspirations with the urgency and miltancy demanded. That is why the Congress closely linked to the organized labor move ment trade union leader Reve Cayton is the present executive secretary, and other unions have always helped decisvely to shape the policies of the organza hon Local councils have reflected also the basis among the working people.
 To the Congress, under the leadership of President Max Yergan the nation is also much beholden for the emergence of Negro into the top leadership. Women like Thelma Dale and Dorothy K Funn have attained national prominence by of their Congress activity their contributions to the struggle of Negro Amer jeans for full citizenship.

 Because we believe that substan- tial portions of both groups are still intolerant of each other, we shall continue increasingly to point out the dangerous irrational and bigoted character of anti Negro feeling wherever it may arise in this still somewhat inn perfect democracy of ours. We are taking the liberty of reprint ing MT. Richardson's story in full because we feel that our Jewish readers should know and cherish our brothers in the mutual fight for freedom.

THE LITTLE KING

Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy, reigned as the of Europes croWned m heads During the M hgy M tie king fitted snugy into the brutal braggarts vest pocket eagerly furnishing responsibility to the Fascist regime Did he ennobe Mussoini with the Order of the Annuncation, thereby making him (by bologic acceptable only to the devotees of superston) his
 cousn? Did he sanction the barbarous aggression against Ethiopia, accepting with unseemly haste the des ignation of Emperor of that country while it's rghfu ruler Halle Selassie in exile? Did he not appoint his real cousin the Duke of Aosta Viceroy in due course? Did he deplofe the murder and rapne which the Fascist marauders inflicted upon the hapless Eho plans? tumultuous negative is the only possible swer to all the foregoing questions
 The Kings abdicaton is last gesture to preserve the House of Savoy in the monarchy All genuine anti fascists hope fute like the ridiculous antics that cartoon character the Little King drawn by the sIiful pen Soglow.

fornia."
 Events come to a sud and surprising conclusion. The Pow CTS sister, separated from him for 30 years, turns up with the startling news that The Power himself is halfJewish. His hatred of his Jewish father and his re- pressed consciousness of his own Jewish blood is the explanation of his hysterica1 anti-Semitism. Con- fronted by his sister, The Power is immediately ruined by the psy- chosis he has so far been able to convert into the emotional dyna- mo of the Crusade but that now finally overwhelms him. He tries to murder his sister, is prevented by Smullett, dashes out to the public park and is arrested for indecent exposure. ''The cops caught him doing S rip-tease right in the middle of Pershing Square........he hopped on bench, started tearing off all his clothes, anl yelled, Look, Pm not a Jew! It's a lie! You can see Pm not a Jew'!" A week later Pearl liar bor is bombed, and the whole gang is rounded up by the FBT, which has been watching them for sev- eral years.
 The novel is, as the blurb claims, virtually a handbook for the study of a political infection which, tn ough momentarily checked in this country, is still far from destroyed" It is also a very gripping tale, full of fast action and suspense, as intriguing as anything by James Cain or Raymond Chandler, and with far
 more profound social meaning.

BOSTON SOUTH END
To the editor:

10 the edltOr:
 It seems to me that it is about time that the colored citizens of Boston should do something about police brutality in the South End which seems to be growing worse instead of getting better. This sit uation can be remedied, make no mistake. about that. Personally l think that the South End needs more colored patrolmen. I am in- clined to think that we cannot ex- pect much help from Police Com missioner Sullivan, but I believe that we will have to appeal to Governor Tobin to correct this evil. Day by day we are convinced more and more that bigotry and prejudice are not confined entirely in the South, but Boston and Massachusetts with all of their vaunted culture have their share this prompts me to say that if those who are in authority would practice the Golden Rule then ma lignant conditions would be cor rected.

l l always try to give you, wh,
 are my readers, the latest 'sinsid,
 information" on anything affecting
 our Negro and Indian brothers o.
 Latn America. And, for this req
 son l am delaying for a few week. my promised expose of the activ.
 ities of the controlled Spanish Fla
 lange to move in from Latir
 Amerca and to neutr Alize Negroes
 in this country against the great
 struggles for freedom which lie
 ahead in our hemisphere.
 Now, I know that the represen- tatives in this country of Spanish Dictator Francisco 'Franco's inter- national spy organization will try to make something out of my de- laying this. They've been trying to wage attacks on me in one or two newspapers by my record, as Southern white man, specializ- ing in Negro culture and history, speaks for itself over a period of 15 years.
 don't have to apologize to a certain pro-Falangist priest in De- troit and his clique now trying to muscle in on the Negro press in order to keep the Negro from raising the sand he ought to stir up to insure complete democracy in our hemisphere of Lincoln, the white Kentucky mule-skinner, and of Guerrero, the black Mexican mule skinner.
 am holding back this expose in order that I can assemble and collate some fresh new evidence of. Falangist activities in this country. The Falange, to new read CTS of this column, is the interna- tional Ku Klux which the Nazi started in fascist Spain to under mine democracy and racial equal ity in those countries of Latin Amerca which were once part of the now-dead Spanish Empire. 3OO,0OO Latins In New York
 I am writing this in New York where l can feel the pulse and the tempo of more than 300,OGO Latin Americans, many of them Negroes, living in our country's greatest city. This morning, up around 116th Street and Madison Avenue in Spanish Harlem, ran into two pretty Puerto Rican girls - one white and the other colored- wasting the stores and the side walks for money to help the peo- pie of Spain get rid of Franco and the iFalange-as the people of are trying to get rid | of 'Bflbo and the Klan.

PLAIN TALK
By John M. Lee

can't do down South, he's got
 more freedom up here, and conse-
 quently he's happier and a lot bet
 ter off. I used to think that toe
 until I realized that the people
 who make Harlem are people who
 have come from all those places
 in the South. When they get here
 they meet the same restrictions
 and prejudices only they're car
 ried out in different way. In the
 long run, it adds up to the same
 thing"
 After I parted company with
 the much-traveled, deep-thinking
 telephone employee, ontinued
 to think about what he had said.
 "What," I asked myself, "has liar lem got that Negro community in the South hasn't?" Being better acquainted with Harlem than was in the South, decided that it would be easier for me to line out what Harlem has to offer.
 Harlem Dirty
 In the interest of truth, I must repor that right now Harlem is the dirtiest community in the world. It is big and overstuffed with people who are gradually being eased off payrolls and onto lines that form in the unemployment insurance offices. It is seething with old people who have strug- gled to keep alive, and with young sters who are moving with the tempo of the times into the swirl ing channels of postwar delin- quency. It is slick community with the battle against disease go- ing to the enemy because gar oage and filth repose on the side walks and in the streets.
 Crime stalks abroad in daylight IS boldly as it sneaks upon you n the sullen darkness of the night. Teen-agers learn to break and enter and to snatch purses in preference to the lessons of being ;aught in schools and churches, md businesses that sell beer, wine md whiskey occupy two out of every three stores in the com 
 Rents are out of proportion to he earnings of the tenants, and he housing is, for the most part, n bad repair. Mea and butter are |, hiefiy supplied from the black market, and the standard and con- : ition cannot be guaranteed.
 Primarily, these are the things z hat make community what it . ;. Harlem has it's social, cultural :, nd artistic side, but the masses T re too pre-occupied with the fun amentals of existing to feel the ;. Influences of these forces. My :. riend from the telephone com any had said that Savannah, teorgia, reminded him of liar m. I wonder if most Southern F would not object to eing compared to a community :. lat is incapable of sustaining hu- q lan life in decent and orderly X asihion? Most of the conditions !. lat make Harlem what it is today | ave been brought about by prej- Ii lice and jimcrow. People are ' retty much the same everywhere. $

A MAN WHO SAW HARLEM IN
 THE DEEP SOUTH


 New York-A couple of week
 ago, I talked with a man who i!
 employed by the New York Tele
 phone Company. He had just fin
 ished his daily stint and being $
 good technician who likes his job
 he was flushed with the excite
 ment of having performed his
 tasks for the day to his own sat- isfaction. He was not a young man, and he said he had spent
 most of his adult life installing telephones, in the course of which pursuit, he met and observed many different and interesting people. ''People are pretty much the same wherever you find them," he told me, and he went on to tell, of the number of Ne groes he had met when he went into their homes to install or re- pair telephone.
 ''There are some fine people in Harlem," he pointed out, Gin fact" he added, "there are some fine colored people all over the country" He named some names and indicated that he had lived in Harlem or on it's fringes prac- tically all of his life. It occurred to me that this man was building a conversation on. a subject in which he was certain I would be and that he didn't have a philosophy about the Negro, nor a scientific cure for the race problem.
 sTt's pity people don't get along better than they do. This is a great country, and I have speit ! most of my free time travelling over it and getting acquainted with the people who keep it grow ing. As told you, they're pretty much the same, everywhere. Not 50 long ago, I was visiting my daughter in Savannah, Georgia, and even though I am Yankee to dislike the South on general principles, can't say hat it is nearly as bad as it is painted. Even the Negroes down here are not as bad off as you hink. Except for the fact that hey have to ride in the back of he trolley ears, I thought that I vas in Harlem" |, ,iunJo prohIon tj
 To him, it was as simple as hat. The difference between the ondition of the Negroes in the south and those in the North was matter of freedom to ride any where on a trolley car. was in lined to challenge his statement 0 point out that therer were oth- r advantages that a Negro in the l North had over a Negro in the 'outh, but somehow, I couldn't hink of thing to say that was ot debatable.

THE NEGRO NLATlN AMERICA
J Josephine Sends Regards
By Harold Preece

SOcePuAHe SenQS hegardS
 | You will remember that I pub
 llshed an interview with Josephine
 in this column two years ago. She
 asked that I send all of you her
 regards. And she also asked me
 to remind you that Haiti's presi-
 dential election is due in just q
 lew days-and that our brothers
 down there will be voting against
 white supremacy" characterized
 Tn the little island republic by the
 rule of the Creole mulatto aris-
 tocracy over the vast majority of
 the people who are black. Mot that all of the mulattoes
 take the side of their class" Jo- sephlne told me. "One notable ex-
 ception is my friend and your friend, too, Max Hudicourt, editor of La Nacion. He's sailed back to do his part in roofing out the little tinhorn bilboes who are ashamed of being mixed and often
 object to being called Negro"
 My wife and I will miss Max Hudlcourt, a welcome guest at our table when we were in New York two years ago. We consider him
 to be one of the great editors and
 one of the great souls of Latin
 America. Fallen Dictator Ellie Lescot exiled him from Haiti for
 exposing the way in which the Haltian-American Development Corporation, controlled from Wall Street, had uprooted thousands of
 black farmers from their homes in. silly effort to make rubber out of weeds. But we're hoping that we'll some day see Max Hu- dicourt in the Haitian capital of Port au Prince.
 Her Scholarly Father
 Josephine has asked us over to her home in Brooklyn to discuss Haitian affairs with her father. scholarly, courageous Lucien Pre- mice, secretary of the Haitian American Democratic Association Ono relation to the Democratic Party in this country). It will be a great evening with Josephine singing Haitian folk songs. Rght after the Haitian elections on May 12, we'll publish any analysis of the results in the form of an in- terview with her father.
 We'll, we're having a great time with our Latin American friends of both colors in New York. Many of them have done me the honor of telling me that this column is looked upon as link of friend ship between Negroes in the Unit ed States and Negroes and Latin Which is what I've been hoping that it would become.
 Changing climates so abruptly has given Celia and myself both bad colds which we're trying to kill with aspirin and grapefruit juice and just about every other iarned old thing. The colds have kept us from circulating around Spanish Harlem and the other La- in American sections as much as we would like.
 But we'll get rid of the colds quick so that we can visit around. And through this column we'll ake you with us on these visits. After all, it's mighty good to breathe the free, if colder air, of New York after having straight loses of Dixie for so many months. We'll be going back to Dixie, of course, because that's he place for any progressive white Southerner. But we'll be arrying something of Spanish Harlem back with us.
