The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-09-07

BIG HOPE of the COP in No
vember is that the seething fu-
rore among Negroes over Tru.
mans failure to check South
ern lynch-terror will keep thou
sands away from the polls.
Crafty Republican leaders are
already raising a cry against
"Dixie Democrats" which they
hope is loud enough to drown
out their double-cross of the fair
employment practice bill, mas
sacre of the OPA, and blocking
of public housing, usually the
key issues in the First District.
If the restless Negro popula-
ton, which has little confidence
in either party, keep away from
the polls, the machine-controlled
King has $3.50 chance of sneak
ing in.
DAWSON saw the political
dynamite in the wave of Dixie
lynching. He took the lead in the
recent Democratic State Conven-
ton in Springfield to write a
platform which literally declared
war on the Southern bloc.
New Democratic platform now
repudiates "the traitors to our
party's liberal, progressive ten
cts" and condemns the alliance
of renegade" Dixie Bourbons
with the "reactionary entrenched
Republican high command" and
uledges a militant fight for
FEPC and liberal legislation.

Hy RICHARD DURHAM

IN CON SIS the man
who speaks for Illinois First
District speaks for IA million
Americans.
When he takes the floor of the
House of Representatives he
speaks for the millions of dis
franchised in the South.
He speaks also for $4,000 Ne
groes in Chicago whose votes
carried him to Congress.
Since 1928 the complex First
District, which covers the rich
commercial center of the Loop
and the unbelievably packed
sums of the Near South Side,
has sent Negro to Congress.
Until two years ago he was the
only Negro in the House.
THAT'S why this district of
14C,527 people, which Roosevelt
won from the Republican camp
in 1880, is the area of some OF
the bitterest clashes of the Big
Tarty machines.
Into this arena, neatly water
bound east and west by the Chi
cago river and Lake Michigan,
the Republican party has thrown
its macabre combination: the fas-
cist Chicago Tribune to plead
race equality" the suave bust.
ness stooge Governor Green to
bow for ballots.
Incumbent in the district is
Democratic Representative Will
liam Levi Dawson, running for
reelection on a platform to sup
port the liberal policies of FDR.
Dawson, a 60-year-old career po-
l.tician, is chairman of the Hi
nois Democratic caucus and as
sistant chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. Backed
by liberal and progressive groups
he has a record of full support
of the Administration.
Opposing Dawson is the COP
candidate William E. King, a
Chicago Tribune favorite and a
veteran wheelhorse in the Green
stable. King, like his boss Green.
has been an open enemy of pub
lie housing. He fought against
building now-famous Ida B
Wells housing project project al
39th and South Parkway.
This is the third bid the Trib
une has made to place its un
popular protege at the head OF
the highly-prized First District.
In the 1914 elections, with
FDR's weight on the ticket
Dawson breezed in. He came tc
Chicago only once during the
campaign and the vote was:
Out Of . District total Of 1887
For Dawson .................... AZ, lib
For King .......................". 26,2O4
But in the 1912 off-year cleo

ular voters stayed away from
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-09-07

Independent Voters of Illinois
and the Independent Committee
of Arts, Sciences and Profession
have little or no footing in the
First District.
Chicago's Urban League, head
quarters at 1892 S. Wabash, has
given moral support to progress
sive candidates, but has no politi-
cal influence. The National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People has officially
adopted political program but
has no mechanism to put it into
effect.
Dawson, despite high absen-
tee record. (He missed 81 out of
100 record roll calls) has won
the backing of most of the in
dependent groups within the dis
trict.
1t is the Republicans alliance
with the restrictive covenantols
which has made it most vulner-
able to militant independent or
CARNATIONS.
Even within the Republican
ranks in this district a wide split
has developed over its open
countenance of race-hate housing
agreements.
IN an almost hysterical desper-
alton to beat down criticism
among Negroes of the party ma
chine, Governor Green recently
ousted the oldest Negro Republi-
can leader, Oscar DePriest, COP
alderman of the 3rd Ward.
Furious because DePriest open
ly praised the work of the KEEL
ly-Arvey forces in race relations,
Green had the ex-Congressman
eliminated from all COP activity.
A legendary figure in the First
District, DePriest was handed
the same treatment as ex-Capone
hoodlum and COP First Ward
Committeeman Dan Serritella
who was implicated in the recent
killing of his former partner,
James M. Ragen.

 Starting Wednesday will be, "To- morrow Is Forever" starring Clau- dette Colbert, Orson Welles and George Brent.
 As. Elizabeth Macdonald, who lost husband in the first World War and cannot face the thought of los- ing her son Drew in the second con- flict, Miss Colbert has role of ex- ceptional intensity.

- By OVo nO6E
 To bet or not to bet .. that is the question along the coast line of Los Angeles County. A certain gent, who used to rum a fleet of gambling boats off the Long Beach coast, is planning to bring them back. But l don't think the district attorney likes the idea. Yesterday saw him down at the dock pricing some surplus subma- rines.
 The city says it won't let the gambler run water -taxiS out to his boats. l guess the customers will have to swim out, holding their money in their teeth. Of course, they won't have that trou- ble coming back thmey won't have any teeth!
 The first gambling ship Is going to be a reconverted minelayer, and they're keeping the minelay- ing equipment intact on the boat. They figure it'll come in handy for getting rid of losersl
 Of course, the gambling boats will have to be anchored three miles out. off this Southern Cal tfornia coast, they have to go that far to get into clean water.
 I went out to one of those gambling boats before the war and they do give you wonderful serv- Ice. If you win, they give you a rowboat to go home in :. with one oarI Being on board a boat makes it pretty difficult to shoot crap. When the deck starts rock ing back and forth, you can't tell the spots on the dice from the ones in front of your eyes. And the money really changes hands fast on those boats. I saw one silver dollar there and the eagle on 1t had been worn down to a squab.
