Southern Writer Warns
That Many People
Will Leave Southland

/ doubt if there is a real first
class high school in the whole state
of Mississippi-thRt is, an accred-
tied high school for Negro pupils
from which graduates may enter
any first class college in the United
States without having to do two
years Of extra preparatory study.
You may say this affects only a
very few people, but there is an
other most serious by-product of
this sort of situation. Today there
are thousands and thousands of men
and women, both white and Negro,
who are bitter because they know
they are kept out of many good
jobs and better pay because Of the
deficiency in the type Of education
to which they have been exposed
"a type designed to insure their
confinement to a below-deck, hori-
Zontal social framework and to
make them drawers Of water and
hewers Of wood in order that the
cause for which the South fought
the war between the states may
ultimately triumph.
Good grammar and high schools
for Negroes are Of utmost impor-
lance to all the people in the United
States today. II we want free en-
terprise to survive, IL we want to
build a wall against the growth
Of Communism, Fascism, Nazism
and other isms opposed TO real
democracy we must assure the poor
people Of the South opportunity to
secure at least n good high school
education.
This fighting by politicians over
who shall control Federal funds
which may be appropriated TO aid
schools is a national shame. These
politicians, who insist that the
South be permitted to use such
funds as it sees fit without outside
interference, should make the South
understand what that really means
in the light of its failure in educat-
ing its citizens. II means that the
South today is the breeding ground
Of those who In the tomorrow will
believe in communism.
When any section Of the country
is permitted to Haunt human rights
on the basis of race, that thing
spreads into other walks Of life
others in other walks Of life try
the same things on others or on
the whole nation.
Observe, II you please, the rail-
road and coal strikes. The govern
ment's being forced to take over
these industries in the face Of un.
relenting forces means that we are
moving into state socialism.
Somebody, somewhere always ex-
PLOTS the exploitation Of others
and when the exploiters are per.
mitted to get away with murder
there arises an inclination on the
part Of the exploiters to adopt the
philosophy Of Huey Long, and in
the final analysis gangsterism OIL
J communism.
The rising tide Of tension in thu
South today, despite the increase
in the number of men of good will
J Is the most serious threat to worlC
peace today.

The Whirl

One out of every four veterans
studying under the CT Bill is par
ticipating in on the job training
Are you? Watcha' waiting for?
If you're planning to go to school
next fall you should apply now for
your certificate of eligibility.
If you are planning to re-enlist in
the army you should do it before
June 80 so you can get your old
rating back. After June 30 you
must start from scratch as a buck
private.
CTS contributed $4,000 to the
United Negro College Fund last
year, but last week Howard Uni
versity, a member Of the fund, was
publicly denounced in a local daily
for keeping 48 housing units vacant
while some of the same guys who
gave are walking the streets of
Washington looking for a place to
live. Incidentally GI's in Manila
last week contributed $500 to the
United Negro College Fund. When
making the donation public, Philleo
Nash of the White House staff
rated a salute from US when asked
whether the men making the gift
we're white or colored. "All | know
about their color is that they wrote
on white paper" he said. Any more
questions?

pointed out the paradoxical posi-
ton Of our nation in world affairs
because Of the mistreatment Of the
Negro and other minority groups.
He said that the United States
could be the leader in chronological
and political areas in world affairs,
if it did not maintain such I'M
scientific and unrealistic attitudes
and actions in the areas Of group
relationships.
He related the reported off record
conversation between M. MolotoV
Of Russia and Secretary of State
James Byrnes while they were at
tending a meeting of the United
Nations. Secretary Byrnes had
made the charge that the elections
in Poland and Bulgaria, which are
under Russian domination, were not
democratic, whereupon NJ. Molotov
replied that the elections in those
countries were more democratic
than those held in Mr.. Byrnes' home
state, South Carolina, a poll-tax
state.

DIR. Locke said that as a north
erner he could indict the south on
many things, but there is much
segregation and discrimination in
the north and northwest. He de-
elared that it was only a difference
Of degree.
Southern pressure is beginning
to erumble because Of self-interest,
the speaker said, and the situation
is changing in the political life Of
the south. He predicted that the
change would also come about
through the enforcement of the
law. ut may come from interna-
tional pressure, as is indicated in
Molotov's conversation with Sec
rotary of State Byrnes. 1.-THE
DOGGY may be an angel in disguise,
and an international bill Of rights

pointed out.

plane upon which TO settle the mat

United States may refuse to do 1t.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - l have
just returned from n trip into the
very heart Of Mississippi, and for
tunately for me I had to catch a
bus out of jackson at three o'clock
in the morning because of the rail-
road strike. l say fortunate, be-
cause ! had a better opportunity
to feel and see very poignantly the
rising tension in the land of Bilbo.
1t is my prediction that what hap
pened at Columbia, Tennessee, is
what the vast majority Of white
people in Mississippi and other
states in the deep South are con-
spring to bring about throughout
the South and the nation, for that
matter, to intimidate the Negro
into submission to a way Of life
which will mean his gradual exter-
mination.
The South is determined to hold
and extend a way of life which
guarantees the INSCRIPTIONS whites
the privilege Of taking all the best
jobs from Negroes. These whites
know there are not enough jobs
70 go around and so their policy
is to take all except the most mental
jobs.
Psychological progress in the
field of industry and agriculture is
throwing thousands and thousands
Of poor whites and Negroes out of
jobs. Take for instance the coal
mines in which labor-saving ma
chinery is throwing thousands Of
men out Of jobs to which they will
not be able to return. This is typi-
cal Of what is happening all along
the line in some degree, and the
Negro worker in the South is
booked to suffer most.
Unless the nation as q whole
becomes concerned about this stu.
alton and there is born a move.
ment to create new jobs in the
South, millions of backward and
unskilled people will be forced tc
migrate to other sections Of the
nation and carry with them re.
sulting perplexing social problems
The North, East and West might
as well get ready for an influx OF
migrants from the South; they are
on their way. Out Of every ter
poor whites and blacks in the South
nine Of the Negro persons and ont
white are working to get tickets
with which to migrate.
When these people pile into cite,
outside the South, with their Limited
educational background and theil
slave attitudes, assimilating then
for the most part is going to b,
most difficult. Many are not goinI
to be able to take 1t. On the re
bound they will be fertile soil foi
all sort Of isms, quacks, or wha
have you.
The problems Of the South ar,
the problems Of the nation and tn
world. The best place to solv
the so-called Negro problem in tn
United States is in the deep Soutl
by all the people Of good will al
over this country and the worlC
And in this connection education
important.

NEGRO SOLDIERS RESPECTED

The Burmese used to say, We

are afraid of the Chinese. We re-

Americans, especially when they
let our women alone" And he con-
tinues, Though an occasional
American white enlisted man or

Dear Joe
Dear Joe:
Those Patriotic Amateurs!
By JAMES L. HICKS


Every time the papers report the
high rate of venereal disease among
our troops some clown jumps up
on a soap box pulpit and accuses
the boys Of consorting with nothing
but wicked women" called prosti-
tutes.
Any man who stayed in the army
long enough to make reveille knows
that this charge is unfair. All the
venereal disease in our army can
not be blamed on prostitutes.
The army doesn't like to admit
it but the truth of the matter is a
large percentage Of the venereal
diseases contracted by our troops
during war time can be traced to
that nice little girl who lives in
the big house on the hill" You
know-Mr. So and Sos daughter.
The subject was so delicate that
neither the War Department nor
the Navy Department could afford
to tell Mr.. So and So to keep his
nice daughter away from the bad"
serviceman, and the result was that
the nice little girl on the hill COM
pletely baffled army medical au-
thorities.
As one medical officer told his
men in Australia: ITS not the
professional prostitute we've got
to worry about-we can control
them. It's these patriotic amateurs
who are beating US down."

Incidentally, while we are on the
subject, many a CT will tell you
that the best picture he saw during
his entire army career is one that
you will never get to see as a civil
ian. It's called Easy to Get" and
starred Hilda Simms Of Anna Lu-
CaSta fame.
The army asked the luscious
Hilda to make herself easy to get
on the screen so it could film
story around women with loose
morals and use it to warn troops
against venereal disease. And boy
what a show she put on.
The memory of the hubba hubba
Hilda in some of those scenes is
almost enough to make a guy re-

1t happened in France during
the first World War. About thou
sand colored and white CTS were
watching a stage show in a rest
camp behind the lines.
A white actor walked on the
stage smoking a cigar and sat
down on a box marked TINT"
A second actor rushed excitedly on
the stage and asked him if he knew
what he was sitting on, and then
hurriedly explained that the stuff
was highly explosive. The first
actor calmly rose and drawled to
his mixed audience that the initials
INT hadn't excited him because
in his hometown they meant "Trav-
Ell Mr. Travel"
That did it. Bedlam broke loose
in the theater. Somebody hit some
body and a race riot was on.
The fight got so hot all the Of
ficers in the camp grabbed trucks
and left their men-all except one
officer, a colored captain. He
stayed in the middle Of the fight
for two hours and finally brought
both white and colored soldiers un-
der control. The army's face was
saved.
The colored captain is a guy
you know well. He is head Of the
History Department of Howard
University. His name is Rayford
Logan.

Lewis tone changed perceptibly
Something of a note Of resignation
seemed to creep into his voice.
Despite the miners expressed will.
ingness to start contract negotia.
tions with either the Government
or operators, officials were not tor
hopeful that the mines, seized by tht
Government last May "a during the
59-day spring strike, would be re-
turned to their owners soon.
Mr.. Lewis likely viii want wage
and other concessions over the terms
of the Krug-Lewis agreement while
some of the operators, notably those
in Southern fields, are not ready tc
accept even the Government con-
tract.
The defiant labor leader made
surrender" terms that were similar
to the proposal of Secretary Of In
terror Krug before the strike began
Mr.. Krug, in refusing to give in te
the Lewis demands on the Govern.
ment, suggested a 60-day truce
during which there would be nego-
tiations between the union and pri.
