that only good Constitutional law
yers could answer.
"We are going to have Repub-
lican Congress in 1947," said Mr.
Howard, "and | feel assured that
the next Congress is going to give
US antilynching and anti-poll tax
legislation and strong fair en-
ployment practice commission"
Asked about the attacks made
on him by Mississippi newspapers
for not urging colored persons to
register and vote against Senator
Theodore G. (The MANI Bilbo in
the recent Mississippi primary
Mr.. Howard said:
"I am a Republican national
committeeman for Mississippi and
as such l am urging colored peo-
pie to qualify and vote the Repub-
lican ticket. If l did otherwise,
the Republican national committee
would doubtless ask for my resig-
nation or read me out of the par
ty.
81 have never asked a colored
person to vote Democratic tick
ct and never will. My theory is
that if the entire Democratic par
ty were wiped out, the troubles of
colored people would soon be over.
Furthermore, the primary elec-
ton laws of Mississippi provide
that anyone voting in the Demo
cratic primary must support the
winner as a candidate, whether he
be Senator Bilbo, Representative
John E. Rankin, or Gene Tai
madge. Not only that but persons
who participated in the Democra-
tic primary must fait two years,
that is, until July, 1948, before
they can take part in any Repub-

Alabama Town
Quiet After Night
OF Rioting

Athens, Ala. (DSN) - Citizens
of both races here began moving
about in a normal way and going
about their business as usual as
complete quiet settled over the
town after a wild night of rioting
last Saturday night when scores
of Negroes were beaten and driven
from the streets by a mob at one
time estimated at more than 1000
people.
The mob which at one time
threatened to develop into one of
the worst in the history of the
country was put down by the
quick action of the State Patrol
under the direction of Chief Van
| Buren Gilbert.
Blame for the flare-up was
placed on white soldier and his
brother who after a drinking party
started meddling Negro citizens
who were in the business section
of the town for their regular Sat-
urday night shopping. The mob
formed after the two engaged in
a fight with Negro man and re-
ports spread that the two white
men had been arrested and the
Negro allowed to escape.
From so to 100 Negroes were
estimated to have been injured as
they were chased from the streets.
Included among those injured
were number of persons of very
advanced age, and a number of
women and children. No deaths
have been reported.
Citizens blamed the action of
the mob on the "hoodlum ele-
ments" a number of whom have
been arrested and released on
bond after being charged with
unlawful assembly" and at least
one with carrying a gum, whose
bond was fixed at $4,000.
A special session of the grand
Jury has been called for Monday
and Solicitor George C. Johnston
said that he would press for I'M
mediate trial of any indicted by
the jury. Indictments carrying
a maximum sentence of five years
in the state prison will be asked
in the case of all those connected
with this .'disgraceful affair,
Solicitor Johnston said.

The Parish Street YMCA, To-
Gated at sos n Parish Street, and
serving the Christian needs OF
Negro men and boys of Jackson,
is in the midst of it's first gen
eral membership campaign, with
a goal of 1000 members.
The Parish Street Branch YMCA
did not become a reality through
the use of magic but resulted from
a definite need on the part of Ne
gro men and boys in the City OF
Jackson for an Association where
growth could take place under a
Christian environment.
Early in 1916 the officials of
the Community Chest of Jackson
informed representative Negro
citizens that the Community Chest
was interested in extending its
services to the Negro citizenry of
Jackson. These Negro Citizens,
alert to the needs of the Negroes
of Jackson, requested a Branch
YMCA among other similar and
related agencies for the Negroes
of the City. One hundred Negro
endorses were requested by the
Board of Directors of the Central
YMCA. These were obtained and
what is now the Parish Street
Branch was securing its begin
ming.
A well-prepared Executive Sec
retary was sought. After some
effort the services Of Mr.. James

The investigation of the lynch
ing of four persons near Monroe,
Georgia. July 25, is going forward
with all the energy possible, Presi-
dent Truman told his press con-
ference last Friday.
Asked whether he had received
any information on the investi-
cation the Department of Justice
is making into the lynchings, Mr..
Truman replied that he had not
received any offocial information
beyond that.
The Washington Post last Fri
day said agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation had iden-
titled at least three Of the mob
who took the two men and their
wives from the car of 10y Harri-
son, a well-to-do white farmer,
and riddled their bodies with bull

roundup of the mob, the Post
said, would soon be laid before
Governor Ellis ArnalI of Georgia
and Attorney General Tom c.

quiry Immediately after mord of
the lynchings had been received
here.
FBI officials at the Justice De-
partment and the head of tn
Atlanta office of the FBI, John
R. frost, declined to comment on
the story.
The FBI was said to be tying
up the threads of it's evidence be-
fore making arrests.
The Post also said a state Off
cial in Georgia had disclosed that
two mobs were waiting for the
victims. The second mob was
guarding another road which Har-
rison could have travelled with
the farm hands and their wives.
That mob did not participate in
the lynchings, but was prepared
to act if the other mob had not
stopped the car in which the quar-
tet was riding.
At the time of the lynching Har-
rison had just posted bond of 5000

The ballot will solve the woes OF

of Leon McTatie by six white men,
Mr.. Howard said he believes his
State is going to punish the per-
petrators of the crime, although
he doubted that the punishment
would be adequate.
"What we need in this country
is what l have advocated through
my many years of public life, and
that is the ballot" he said. Il
have always insisted that if you
give colored people the ballot,
they can take care of themselves" +"
Mr.. Howard said he had appear
ed before the Senate Judiciary
subcommittee, of which Senator
Joseph C. O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming, was chairman, and
urged enactment of the anti-poll
tax bill for that reason, and urged
as we'll the inclusion of a provi-
sion which would give to each
major political party representa-
ton in the registration of voters.
Such a provision, he said, would
preclude white applicants for reg
