Felix Belor Jr., rowing reporter OF The New York
Times forecostng return Of the coIored voters to the
Republican fold in dispatch from Philadelphia said
NEGRO leaders assert they not under any ilIu
sions as where they stood the Administrations Of Pes
dent Roosevelt They contend that with discrimination and
segregation generally proctced throughout the armed
forces and the Federal Government under Mr. Roosevelt
no less than under Mr. Truman it is idle to speok of Mr.
Roosevelt as friend Of the Negro
AT the same time their leaders concede that the Me-
gro fored better politically under President Roosevelt hon
undr any of his predecessors Much Of this they attribute
to Mr. Rooseves emphasis on the cooescence of minority
groups of political purposes
ut was largely because Of the demonstrated friend
ship of Mrs Roosevelt for the Negro, according to Leaders,
that effort mode to throw their votes into the Re-
publican column They soy would have been frutess
task then but that Mrs Roosevelt the First Lady and
privote citizen are two different things.
"Leoders reIuctont to guess what percentage of
the Negro will go to the Republican column next
month"; They do expect mony to vote Republican as
have been voting Democratic and that there will be
GRITTY who will vote for Senator Joseph Guffey and the
rest of the Democratic ticket just there these who
remained loyal the Republican party through all the
Roosevelt Administrations.
Edward T. FoIIiord, Washington Post reporter, in
dispatch from Detroit, said:
"A republican sponsored poll taken in Detroit recently
showed that IS per of the Negro questioned

THE CIO-PoIiticoI Action Committee, in a news re-

obviously any serious detection Of the Negro vote in
this oyeor election would be very homfu to Mr. OBrien

to get.

MiddIetown News
By Charles C. Garvin

The weather man was rather kind to Middletown this beautiful l Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday usually finds a number of people journeying to their favorite house of worship.
 The AME Zion Church pastored by Rev. T. J. Riddick had two won derful messages delivered today. For the morning service Rev. Rid dick christened four babies. Curley Read, Jr., Georgie Marie Weston, and Barbara and Phillip Pope. He deliberated for some moments on the bringing up of children.
 Many fathers and mothers fail to guide their children in the right way of life," he said, land if pa rents want their children to live richer life they should be a guid- ing light"
 The morning message was talk en from Mark 16-6. The theme of his text was "He is Risen"
 
 priate one because the Negroes in Middletown are rising. We are more than grateful for such a gal lant leader as Rev. Riddick. For a short space of five months he has done a wonderful job in Mid dletown.
 Church-goers crowd the church every Sunday morning to receive wonderful and inspiring mes sage. Now for the first time in a long time we have a leader to listen to on Sunday morning after our toll of the week is over. Long may we live to spread the word of brotherly love.
 At pm. Sunday we returned to church to attend a two-fold program. First we listened to the presiding elder of the New Eng land District, Elder H. R. Jack son. The church was filled to it's capacity. Elder Jackson spoke on the subject of Meeting Jesus" His sermon converted one soul. The Elder will return Friday for the quarterly conference.
 For month a rally was launched in order to raise funds for the repair of the church and parsonage. Through the coopera- tion of our diligent workers the effort netted over $7OO. This town is growing and we aim to make our church grow along with it. So long as we keeI a pastor like Rev. Riddick. w shall climb to take our rightfu place in the religious world.
 Easter has brought back t, Middletown three of her citizen who have been away for quite some time.
 Miss Frances McArthur has rA turned for a holiday visit. Mis- McArthur works at the St. John' Hospital in Brooklyn, New York She is a nurse specializing in ba bies. We are also happy to SC. Miss Constance McArthur who i: a student at Lincoln School for Nursing, Bronx, New York.
