CORRECTION

In our last issue we stated that John Bahnke accidentally hit Roy Sommers on Front Street last Sunday. A confusion caused by the multiple accidents over the weekend caused an error in the report. John Bahnke did not hit Roy SOmmers but Charles Men dalook, who was taken to the hos pital with a badly sprained leg which is now in a cast.
 Roy Sommers was run over by a railroad push car while playing with other children on the rail- road and suffered a fractured leg and back injuries.

We all know that in Russia there is only one

The fact that Communists don't practice or be-

and started reacung TO Communists as we would

Dav well have a Senate without Bilbo, and few
pieces OF legislation like FEPC in the works.
Here are some of the set backs suffered by the

They lost out in the Michigan Citizens Com

elected TO the executive board. They lost out in
the NAACP, when Bob Brady was elected preSi-
dent. They lost out when the disgust of honest
supporters Of FEPC pushed them out of the con-
troll of the state movement for FEPC.
All these Set-backs. plus the denunciation Of the
National Negro Congress by the national CIO
office and the Go convention attack on the
Communist party, must make the local comissars
feel pretty sick.
