The outside observer is often
puzzled by the indifference OF
American Negroes to the con-

pies of races other than the Ne

less fortunate whites. The ignor-
ance of even well-trained Amer
lean Negroes as to these other
folk and their problems, which
SO often parallel their own, is
to some extent a reflection on
our schools and colleges. Our
vision is often too short, and
cur scope too narrow; con-

The public school teachers of
recent years have what is called
a retirement age with pay (Which
is too smalD but its better than
nothing; the employees of State

pension when they retire after so
many years to toll; the industrial
workers are careful to keep their
social security cards; the preach

working men and women look for
ward to the years when slowing
down time comes. This is as it
should be, but will these material
things serve as the acme Of life?

Imported Hay Tells Milk-Deficient Tale

Hidden under half million

Wer to why North Carolina is
a milk-deficient state, an answer
much easier to find than the long
lost needle.
The state annually imports
nearly 100000 tons of hay from
other states. IL addition, thousands
gallons of milk also are imported
to this primarily agricultural
state with a high percentage of
marginal land.
John A. Arey, leading dairy ex-
pert of the State College Exten-
sion Service. on the eve of June
Dairy Month which will be pro-
NOTED again this year by the

Meanwhile, in this year of criti-

reminds that it is "douby import

THE DRAFT LAW

Unless the House of Representatives
experiences change of attitude it would
appear that the drafting of fathers and
of any young men under twenty years of
age may be suspended indefinitely if not
permanently The bill passed by the House
which would have extended the original
draft act for approximately year banned
the drafting of fathers and of teen-agers
When the Senate failed up to the a st
bill, and then as an emergency measure
voted to extend the act as it stood until
July l, the House refused to be sdetrack-
ed from is own original purpose, and in
sisted on amending the rush measure to
include the ban on the induction of the
two classes of registrants. Rather than
have selective service end by default on
May 16 the Senate had to accept the bill
as amended by the House, and the Pres-
dent had to sign it.
The stop-gap measure is effective only
until July l. Meanwhile new bill will
be worked out to go into effect after that
date. There will be great pressure from
Army officials, the War and Navy depart
ments and the President, who is backing
the program of the military, to return the
young men under 20 to draft eligibility.
Those responsible for our military struc-
ture insist that the young men in that age
group must be drawn on if our armed
forces are to be maintained at the neces-
sary strength without keeping men al
ready in service longer than had been
planned.
But it seems that lot of members of
the House have got to be convinced that
Cd the Armed Forces in peacetime need
to be as large as the generals and admirals
say (2) if so, this strength can be main
tanned only by drafting boys and fathers
A lot of plain citizens feel the same
way as the majority of the House of Rep
resentatives. The people do not want to
see any man kept overseas in the Army
day longer than is necessary and they
agree that it is only fair that those who
have served should be relieved by others
who have not. But the people need to be
convinced that an army of more than
million men is still needed year after
the fighting war is over SO far the gen
erals and admirals have not succeeded in
removing the doubts of the people. They
may be entirely right, but they have not
sold the idea to Mr. and Mrs. America.
who do not believe that taking boys out of
school and fathers away from their fam
lilies is called for by any necessity that

William Green, president of the AT of

definitely in his speech highlighting the
recent Southern conference of the AT of

"communistic, and urged Southern in

instead"
We can't understand why Mr.. Green
wants to inject dissenslon into the ranks
of organized labor. Cooperation, not com
petition, must be the watchword of unions
in the tw Southern organizing drives.
And there's plenty of room to organize the
unorganized without stepping on each
others toes
There are organiational and theological
differences in the AF of l. and the CIO
One of the principal differences is racial
segregation, which on the face of it causes
US to be more sympathetic to the CIO.

WILL SILENCE SILENCE THE XXX?

advertise their shenanigans. A conspiracy
OF legitimate silence is the best treatment.
How about it, beginning now?"

writer raises grave doubts in our mind

tons to grow when an uniformed public

Enthusiastically hoping that the Klan might
