Hot Fight Looms In Miss.
II. S. Senate Race

POLARVILLE, Miss, Mar. IA
.(ANP) = Sen. Theodore G. ("the
Man") Bilbo, nationally-known rae
ist, must wage hot fight to main
tain his senate seat, according to
latest political rumors here. His lat
est opponent will be Ross A. Col
Inns, former congressional repre-
sentative from this state for 18
years, who predicts "a nasty cam
paign" preceding the July Demo-
cratic primary.
One of the three books Bilbo plans
to publish will deal with the Negro
question, "Segregation or Mongrel-
ization," and comedies with his plan
to send American Negroes back to
Africa. He advocates the use of the
mechanical cotton picker for south
ern cotton crops because they won't
be demanding any damned social
equality or intermarriage."
Beside Collins, Bilbos' other op-
ponents for the senate are Douglas
Smith Of Jackson, a comparative
newcomer to Mississippi politics,
and 1t. Comdr. Nelson Levings,
USNR, Of Gulfport. A lawyer with
property and connections on the
gulf coast and in the "Delta" cotton
empire in the northwest part of the
state, Levings said he will file for
mally after his release from active
duty.
Collins has expressed an inten-
tion to stand up to the Bilbo broad
sides and fire back during the "hot"
campaign. Bilbo is expected to in
ject the race issue, "white suprem-
acy," to win votes.

Entertainment NeededFor Hospital Vets

WASHINGTON, Mar. ID (ANP)
Although Negro artists and en-
tertainers have done their bit to
brighten the lives of servicemen and
veterans in hospitals throughout
the war period, the demand has in
creased now that so many hospital
lied men have been returned to this
country.
Camp and hospital councils of the
American Red Cross, which have ar
ranged for an estimated 20 million
dollars worth of entertainment
during the war years, say that the
need is even greater today.
Leading Negro personalities,
among them Marian Anderson, from
radio, screen, and stage, who have
given their time for hospital enter
tainment, include Eddie Anderson
("Rochester"), Clarence Muse, Ben
Carter, Nicodemus, Evelyn Burwell,
the Juan Panello Trio, Sir Lancelot,
Menette Moore, Fred Skinner, Marie
Bryant, Huddie Ledbetter ("Lead
Belly'), the Delta Rhythm Boys,
Elliott Carpenter, and the Chario-
teers.
The Red Cross says that enter
tainers need not be nationally known
to qualify for programs in hospitals.
All who would like to offer their
services should call the camp and
hospital committee of their local
Red Cross chapter.

Regional
Views
By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B. UAW'ClO

One of the things proposed by the PAC at
the meeting of civic groups representatives on
November Is was that quarterly reports OF the
expenditure of funds derived from the payroll
tax be publicized, not only through the City
Journal. but be released to the daily and
weekly newspapers.
Based upon the reports which have oeen
made by the department which has charge OF
the collection of the payroll tax, the income
from the tax is going to be far in excess OF
the original estimate.
Because the city is going to derive more
income from the payroll tax than was nrst
supposed it seems to me that there Is even
greater necessity for watching to see that the
money is spent properly according to the plans
made when it was proposed.
This desire to see that the payroll tax Is
used as it was originally intended Is made
stronger when we remember what has occurred
to the state sales tax for which great things
were promised, but which has become poll
tical asset to both Republican and Democratic
governors as an ever.increasing surplus piling
up in Columbus.
LITTLE CHANGE
In the light of the way the payroll tax
money has apparently been spent up to tnls
time, it looks to me like the people OF this city
are entitled to know exactly how the funds
have been disbursed up to now and that they
are also entitled to know periodically now
much money has been spent and for what.
Public officials whose duty and response
bility it is to spend the payroll tax money ac-
cording to the program laid down by City
Council should be glad to know that the funds
are being watched and should hasten to COM
ply with the request that a quarterly report
be made 1t will be protection for them and
at the same time let the citizens know that
their money is being spent as it was intended
After seeing what has occurred to the state
sales tax and knowing the sad state of affairs
which have come to pass in the public schools
because of the failure of state officials to keep
their commitments to the public we should all
resolve that Toledos' payroll tax Is not only
going to be spent as 1t was riginally planned,
but that we shall be given regular reports to
prove to us that nothing is occurring to change
the program paid down by members of City
Council when they proposed and voted for the
tax over the protest of thousands Of Toledo
workers.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
Local II, UAW.CIO
President,

On most radio stations there are dozens Of
commentators reporting on the coal strike situ'
alton each day, also, in the daily press. Head
lines on the coal situation are predominant.
Less than % of these commentators and head
lines have anything more to say then to con-
denim labor and primarily John L. Lewis.
wonder how many of the editors of these
same papers and how many of the commenta-
tors worked in a coal mine or how many OF
them, to say the least, ever made an inspection
trip through a coal mine Do you think that il
they would do this, they might change their
views on the situation?
Has there ever been any headlines or pub
lie announcements made stating that the coal
strike could be averted If the Managements
side of the conference table, at which the coal
contracts are settled, would come up with some
real constructive thinking? From reports that
I get, Mr. Krug does not even know what the
financial demands of the United Mine Work
ers are, since in their discussions, he has only
raised the technical points of whether or not a
contract is In existence.
AFTER POWER
Perhaps John L. Lewis, as an individual, is
seeking to gain greater political power within
the country. DO not DeLeVe MS e14OItS are
In any way criminal at least no more so than
the efforts of every other politician who uses
the means within his control to advance him.
self politically. Certainly, President Truman
is using his control of the Courts to advance
his political cause in this situation / must say
that do not like to see this happen, either on
the part of John L. Lewis or the President,
yet within our country, which proclaimS the
highest standards of democracy in the world,
n is inevitable that the higher officials ham
ding the coal strike will inject their personal
or party politics into the picture.
The fact that the cost of living Is continu-
ing to rise and that 1t has risen by very large
percentage since the coal miners were last
given an increase In pay scarcely seems to be
mentioned in any of the comments or news
reports.
If we are to have continuing democracy,
the power which has been gained and main.
tanned through economic means by the kings
and overlords Of finances we must then have
better balance through legislation which will
permit the standard of living for the poorer
classes of people to advance.
Proposals have come out as to the revision
Of the tax program when the new Congress
meets shortly after the first Of the year. !
have no doubt but what they will change the
tax program, but in so doing, I am very
skeptical that the working man will be per.
mitted to benefit to any great extent AT
the same time it appears that this control of
wealth will be permitted to be placed into
fewer hands.
