Truman PrOUeS Strength
In Railroad Strike

From present Indications President Truman is de-
veOpng into stronger national fgure than most OF Us
had believed possible
The bitterness with which A. F. Whitney. leader in
the recentlyseted railroad strike attacks the president
Dedging his unions entire of S47OOOOOO TO de-
feat Mr. Truman he for election, Is indicative OF
the Presidents newfound strength
II is our belief that the late Franklyn Deano Roose
welt would have acted in the same way as Mr. Truman
Il has always been his policy to the rights OF
many against the selfish desires of few
1t remains TO be seen. however If the vote-fearng
congress will back our leader his desires to keep the
nation strong and in good economic health
From recent experiences when foodstuffs were pied
up in railroad yards unrefrgerated where they
were imminent danger of spoilage 1t void seem that
tenal threat terrifying that the atomic bomb
AS for threats of the few dsgruntled railroad union
officials il would that thinking people, would lar
prefer president who would brook interference with
the way of national economic life than moycoddle
who bows the wishes of minority despite the poeh
tia power welded by that minority.
They must remember that it minority party in
Germany which brought about the holocaust which swept
the world taking young from almost every home IN
the leading nations to throw into the maws of war
Ii the people of America and that goes for labor
parties too want that sort of government then
mistake founding fathers of the United States to
choose independence instead of tax-mposng tyranica
government of that time. =
We have always been sympathetic with the fellow
who tries to lift himself by his own bootsraps Cor any
eses bootsraps for that matter) but when man or
group attempt to beat else over the head
with club be it economic or otherwise, to get what they
desire. then il is time to call a halt
Labor has, through its efforts, and most of them
undenably fair has gone long way since little man
now buried in cemetery in Camden. N j. led the way
TO organize pressure improve its status in life We have
been sympathetic and sympathetic. We have been
an ardent supporter of all labor movements
But we cannot but feel that the Presidents recent
efforts will bring flood of bandwagon hopping by
political opportunists who situation ready made
for them Already that boywonder of the political world
Harold Ssen has the clear to protest the Pres
dents action
We wonder what will happen when Stassen's Repub
and bound bosses have this matter laid where
would be if their avoirdupois permitted laps
hath fhaNx tax a
gurgating il the election is over. whether
they will snuff the Stassen candle quickly. The former
action the more likely:
IL seems that Mr.. Truman is about to rise to unit
hought heights in the opinion of the people He will
proboby be called THAT man." just his illustrious
predecessor called by the hdebound and starboard
side constituency which because of income taxes
dropped down TO racing stable yacht order
that the unorunates of this nation would not succomb to
starvation during the lean-pre-war years.

given under the Organic act, it has
increased to but 20 per cent"
The Organic act was passed by
congress in 1886 and did away with
the limitation of three per cent Of
the inhabitants taking part in the
affairs of the island.
At the same time, the food situa-
tion was viewed with alarm. Ac-
cording to a survey made in the last
fortnight, foodstuffs are running
dangerously low. Many basic foods
cannot be obtained and there is no
indication when supplies will be re-
ceived from the United States. At
st. Croix where sugar is produced,
there is no brown sugar on the
island, although their food situation
is held to be better than that of st.
Thomas. Merchants there, however,
have cancelled many orders in the
United States because quotations
from their dealers exceed ceilings
set by the OPA here.

The. record of the trial offers
no positive identification OF Ben

Mrs. Anna Leadbetter and Mrs.

housewives, testified Benton was
in the Leadbetter home along with
two other persons, far from the
scene of the alleged rape, at the
time the crime was said to nave
been committed. | visited these
women in their homes and they
repeated their story of Benton's
visit.
The court record also shows
Benton denied under oath he had
committed the crime. But he was
not given the right to present
this testimony to the jury. His
testimony was offered during an
argument between counsel and the
state solicitor on admissibility of
the alleged confession. He WASH
put on the stand again when the
jury returned to the court room.
The fact that Major Benton
was tried by Jim Crow jury
and denied the right of trial by
jury of his peers, as guaran-
teed by the U. S. Constitution,
was revealed by my extensive
investigation OF jury service
methods in Richmond County
Courthouse, Rockingham.
There were no Negroes on the
April jury panel, from which the
Benton jury was chosen. The
County Clerk and Officials of the
Sheriff's office told me no Ne
gro taxpayer ever served or was
called to serve on a Richmond
County jury.
