MAN TO MAN
By Dick StimsOn

ny LUCK SClmSOn
 "I'm going to vote Democratic, said Jim, ''became the Demo crats gave us the New Deal"
 What's the matter with you?' demands Bob, ''I'm having noth ing to do with the party of Bilbe and Rankin. After all, Lincolr was Republican"
 In the school books it says that the United States has two major parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. We'll, then, which is the liberal party and which is the conservative party? The answer is neither. Each party has Hoe ral members and conservative m m b S. Isn't that odd? ? It is certainly is. It brings some queer results.
 The last session of Congress produced strange situation. Both houses of Congress, as well as the Presidency, were in the hand of the same party, the Democratic Party. President Truman an- nounced his intention of following in the footstpes of the late Presi- dent Roosevelt and placed before Congress "a number of liberal pro- posals. They included such for ward-looking suggestions as an expanded public housing program (the Wagner-Ellender-Taft bill), federal health insurance (the Mur- ray-Wagner-DingeH bilI, and fair employment practices.
 With full Democratic control of the government why is it that the President could not have his pro- gram enacted? It seems confus- ing, but the confusion can be cleared away simply by realizing that the Congress was not con- trolled by the administration. Poll tax Democrats found more in com mon with conservative Republi- cans than with the liberals of their own party. The real division of Congress, then, as it showed up in voting, was between the con- servative majority (made up of conservative Republicans and Sou- thern Democrats) and the liberal minority (made up of the liberal Democrats plus the liberal Repub- icans). Although the Presidents party seemed to control Congress, actually the majority of Congress was obstructing the President.
 This party split makes the con- versation between Jim and Bob a little ridiculous. Jim and Bob should know that there are Repub- licans and Democrats on both sides of every important issue. Some of the conservative Republi- cans who failed to vote for cloture made it impossible to get the an- ti-poll tax bill past the Southern Democratic filibusterers in the Senate. This favor was returned when the Southern Democrats gave their votes to the anti-labof legislation of the conservative Re- publicans.
 Jim and Bob have come to the wise decision that they will learn the individual opinions and voting records of the candidates and vote for the best man regardless of the party label.

 THIS LAND OF OURS
 By Charles Garvin
 Now that this dire catastrophe, known as war is over, this land of ours is once again catering to the select few, some of whom are climbing to the top of the ladder with the aid of their outward ad- mission of being a member of the White Supremacy This is strictly against ethical thinking Something must be wrong when we find men who have such thoughts of individuals who have given their lives to maintain a system which fails in it's entirety to protect it's own in the hour of crisis. How are the Negroes going to cope with conditions if they continue to be as they are?
 The sudden flight of the Negro from the south to the north is one way of showing that he is strictly against what is going on. But, on the other hand, if battels are to be won they must be won where the trouble begins. These hel1ish attitudes are embodied in the South. The South shall suffer un- til the Negro given his equal op- portunity to compete with all free men.
 Education is one means by which recognition may be acquired. But to educate the Negro alone will not solve the problem. Education of the other races will aid in a better understanding. There are too many people of other races who have the belief that the Ne gro's status should be as it is. Far be it from that. The time has come when we as Negroes are to step up and demand our constitu- tional rights which are guaranteed all Americans regardless of race, creed, or religion.
 For a while I stop to think For a while my thoughts are free For a while my eyes may blink; But tomorrow let me be
