COLUMBIA, Tenn, VICTIM
TO DESCRIBE HORRORS
OF MOB VIOLENCE
AT WAYMAN MEETING

Sponsored by a group of local
civic and labor organizations, in
Guiding the UE-CIO locals 8O1 and
768, the Dayton branch NAACP,
NAACP Youth Council, the Olym-
plan Club, the Frontiers Club, Day
ton Citizens Committee, the In
dustrial Council-CIO, Dayton Pub
lie Service League, Waldorf Lodge
Elks, and the Montgomery Coun-
ty Civil Liberties Union, Wayman
church, tonight will be the scene
of a mass meeting, at which Mr..
Sol Blair, one of the victims of the
race riots at Columbia, Tenn, last
February, will be the principal
speaker, and the true story of
what happened on that black day,
will be unfolded to the citizens of
Dayton at 8 o'clock.
According to the investigation
of the National office of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, the
true story Of what happened is:
When Mrs. Gladys Stephenson,
complained to a radio repairman
that her radio had not been prop
erly fixed, the radio man slapped
her. Her son, a recently returned
war veteran went to the aid of his
mother and the riot was on. Two
men were killed AFTER they had
been arrested and lodged in the
county jail. The state militia and
the local police had a field day,
demolishing Negro businesses and
beating their colored victims.
These men who had been sworn
to uphold law and order, were the
ones to commit mob violence
against the people they were sup
posed to protect. The scores of Ne
.groes, who were arrested after
the affair, have been indicted for
major crimes. The NAACP is
sponsoring and defraying the costs
of their trials.
One of the men who lost his bus
mess because he was one who spir-
tied the Stephensons out of Colum-
bia to prevent them being lynched,
will speak at tonight's meeting.
The public is invited and urged
to attend.

General Horkan said that "to

demonstrated the results of educa-

The general declared that "as we
make our way to peace, new from

We have won the fighting war, but
the breeders of conflict and mis-
understanding - intole erance,
greed, ignorance and complacency
are still enemies to be conquered.

in the November election. In com.
parison with their strength in the

Socialists, playing the game of
the American State Department,
took, as we predicted they would,
the worst beating of any party.
The Communists gained 20 seats,
the MRP's strength was not

Meanwhile, in Italy, the results
of the municipal elections also

THIS election result in France
is, to no small degree, the direct
consequence of Mr.. Byrnes' Stuff.
CART speech which offended all of
France. For in that speech Mr..
Byrnes went out of his way to
assure Germany of a comeback.
The reaction to that speech in
France was immediate and sharp.
Here now are some of the conse.
quences.
As far as the Socialist Party
is concerned, it may be recalled
that when l returned from Paris
l related the story of how Leon
Blum had entertained Mr..
Byrnes at his country house and
how following a very chummy
weekend Leon Blum, on the
front page of his newspaper,
1.-THE Populaire," editorialized to
the effect that now that he had
gotten 500 million dollars for
France from the United States,
France would have to orientate
her foreign policy according to
the wishes of the United States.
The next morning, the entire
French press, led by the Com.
munist press, let out a howl,
pointing out that Leon Blum had

France.
I said at the time that this cleo
ton result would be nothing else
but the natural consequence of
the foreign policy pursued by
Messrs. Byrnes and Vandenberg.
The Secretary of State and the
Senator from Michigan have adj
mittedly set themselves the task
of conducting a foreign policy
which would limit the spread of
Communism in Europe. Y
The point we have made SO
many times is that this foreign
policy of theirs is producing pre-
cisely the opposite results of
what these gentlemen wish to
produce and that even If one
were in favor of the imperialist
policy pursued by these gentle
men, it would be better if such
a policy were in the hands of

Danube hurges

BERLIN - A sore spot in re-
lations between the new Eastern
Europe democracies and the Unit
ed States was being salved this
week as US. Military Govern
ment officials began returning
500 Danubian river barges seized
a year and half ago.
American retention of these
barges was major cause of re-
cent difficulties between the
United States and Yugoslavia. By
Selling and keeping the boats,
America sought to use this as a
bargaining point with the Soviet
Union over internationalizing the
Danube.
But after Yugoslavia lodged
formal protest and made their
retention an international issue,
the us. State department backed
down and ordered return Of the
vessels although no Danube
agreement with Russia had been
made.
In their protest, the Yugoslavs
pointed out that seizure of these
boats had deprived their war-rav-
aged country of a major mode of
transportation essential to re-
covery.
1t is expected that all vessels
will be returned to their countries
by Dec. Is when the Danube or
dinarily freezes over. In addition
to Yugoslavia, other nations pre-
senting claims are Rumania, Hun
gary, France and Czechoslovakia.
