Editor: 1t has become increas-

a precarious position. Hostility to-
wards Generalissimo Franco and
his dictatorial regime has been

what to do about Spain in the near

Russia has now taken the lead
in seeing to it something is done
about Spain. In recent messages,
Russia has urged Britain and the
United States to take immediate

over the matter.

United States Employment Serv-
ce, wants to head a small section
IN the Labor Department, where
he began his service in the fedora
government.
OF Senatorial supporters Of the
FEPC bill, Senator Wayne Morse,
Republican, Of Oregon, appears to
be the most sincere. There is
opposition among colored voters
Of Minnesota to Harold f. Stassen,
former governor Of that state. They
say while governor he appointed no
colored person to a responsible po-
sitiOn.
II FEPC should be continued be-
yond June 30, Mike Ross, its chair
man, will likely walk the plank.
Drew Pearson, newspaper col
umnist and radio commentator, was
expected to make a strong pro-
FEPC statement during his radio
broadcast Sunday night a week
ago, but didn't.
Life Magazine photographed the
Adam Powells Hazel Scott in his
House Office Building office the
other day. One story that is
being repeated in political circles
is that the late President Franklin
d. Roosevelt told the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee he would
go down the line either to compel
Capital Transit to hire colored men
as street car and bus operators or
for a permanent FEPC. The COM
mittee chose the latter-only to
have Mr.. Roosevelt die before his
promise could be fulfilled.
Irene Morgan, the Baltimorean,
who is testing before the Supreme
Court the applicability of Virgin
las Jim Crow law to interstate
passengers, was also fined 800 for
resisting arrest. When the sheriff
and his deputy attempted to arrest
her, she swung at the deputy but
missed him. She kicked the sheriff
three times before being taken off
the bus and lodged in Jail. She did
not appeal from her conviction on
the resisting arrest charge.

supremacy theory are in the posi-
ton to prevent such calamities.
The opposition, instead of ending
this state Of affairs, makes the
stalemate more solid, the problem
more vexing, the deadlock more
tenacious. Every time a southerner
says something along his chosen
topic Of racial viewpoints, there is
an answer from the other side of
the Mason and Dixon Line. Every
against southern discrimination
time NOrtherner speaks out
and rebel leanings, a loud chorus
can be heard throughout the bayous
and swamps and cotton fields of
dear old Dixie. Thus, talk is al
lowed to keep the remedy from the
sore, and the cancerous growth is
slowly eating its way into the heart
Of all America, affecting black and
white alike, threatening an eventu-
al collapse of public morale, respect
for decency and the rights of man
kind.
The United Nations Organization
is opposed to location of its
capital in the South because of
its record Of anti-racial attitudes.
The sports world is divided into two
camps in which one demands that
the AAU take its championships
from any southern city and con-
tinue to hold them in the North as
a rebuke to the South. Other groups
have taken the attitude that to To-
cate any important event or or
ganization in the South would be
tacit okay Of Jim Grow. But is it?
Aren't we extreme in persis: ling in
this attitude?
With belligerency on both sides
the moment the race question is
mentioned, doesn't the future look
very dark in ever bringing about
complete understanding and reach
ing an end that will be good for all
Americans in honestly attempting
70 work out a common destiny? |
believe that Negro athletes should
go to Texas, run, jump, and deport
themselves as gentlemen. If Texas
is allowing interracial competition.
why should we deny ourselves Of
any opportunity to weaken by ex-
ample the opposition? The vexing
problems of being decent and re-
spectful to foreign delegates and
officials in the UNO setup also
would be dumped squarely in the
lap Of the South if the UNO select
ed a southern site for its interna-
tional headquarters. The easiest
way is always the most obvious.

WOOdcOck, British He0Uy, Prefers to
 Box Experts Find

Bear Mountain, N. Y.-Well, what about Bruce Woodcock?
 Three weeks after opening his training camp here, nine days be- fore his debut in this country against Tarni Mauriello at the Gar den May IF, what are the critical opinions of the experts in regard to the British Empire heavyweight champion?
 This is what the experts think: that Woodcock possesses one of the fastest right hands in the heavy weight ranks; that his left jab car- ries jarring force: that he seldom hooks with his left but uses 1t with damaging effect at close range: that when he chooses he can employ speed and boxing ability to rank with the best in his division: that he prefers long range boxing rather than close tactics; that he can be hit but that he can take a hard punch without flinching; that he sometimes is willing to take punch in order to land his smashing right: that he is determined and game and loves to fight.
 During the first week of Wood cocks training here he seemed slug giSh and slow but he soon rounded into good form and is now close to peak condition. His manager and trainer, Tom Hurst, is pleased with the fighters present form, is con- fident the British champion will prove a hit with American fans.
 Expects K. o.
 "Woodcock is no in and outer" says Hurst. He has never made a poor fight. Now that know he is in such fine condition I know he,ll make an excellent fight against Mauriello and expect he'll knock Mauriello out. Naturally; neither Bruce nor have ever seen Mauriel- 10 box but we are told he can be hit and usually that's all Bruce needs to know.
 T realize 1t is not praising my nghter much when I say he is the best heavyweight ever to come from England. because know what hap pened to so many of the other Bri- tish heavyweights. But Bruce will make American boxing fans forget all about the heavyweights from England whom they have seen in the past"
 Hurst expects Woodcock to weigh somewhere around 188 or 19O pounds for the Mauriello contest, which will give Tami an edge of about ten pounds.
