| WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Presi- dent Truman's offhsnd disclosure ithat the wartime military collabora lticn cf the United States and Brit ain is t1 remain intact for a time produced little surprise in this eapi- tai today.
 But what significance. if any, might De read into it by other world powers remained an open question.
 The chief executive was asked al news conference Thursday if it cculd be assumed that the com bincd chiefs of staff, the group of high military and naval command CTS of the two nations who collabor- ated in planning and prosecuting World War II, would continue in existence until the wars end was proclaimed officially.
 Sure, answered the President. But he disagreed with the questioner's phrasing-whether the visit of Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery points up the fact that the com bined staff still exists. There is, said the President, nothing signifi cant in the visit of the British Chief of Staff to the United States except that it is friendly ges- ture.

Demands Change In Politics
By Mitchell O. Jackson

In the past the Democratic lead CTS of Hartford have failed to con- suit with the colored Democratic leaders on policy and the ticket. They pick ticket regardless of whether the candidates are accept able to us and hand the colored leaders ticket and say Here is our ticket; now go out and work for it."
 The Colored voters in the third and fifth wards can determine the election in these wards. The Demo cratic bosses continue trying to hold the colored voter under their ward chairman. This, of course, keeps the colored leaders from sit- ting in with the political bosses on policy-formation and ticket-selec- tion in the Party.
 This type of leadership has been resented by the cclored political leaders but nothing has been done about it in the past.
 In order to obtain a good Demo- cratic ticket and an acceptable pol icy the Negro Democrats must have representation in the inner council which the Democratic bosses object to giving us. In order to obtain this, certain colored Democratic leaders have found it necessary to break from the Machines candi- date for the Senate and support a member who is willing to go down the line with the colored leaders, ] and to call the colored leaders in in making up the Machine slate.
 The Negro is not even properly represented at City and State Con- ventions. There is only one way to obtain this type of policy: that is to demand it by opposing boss rule.

- MOB ACTION AGAINST NEGROES INSPIRES
 LAWLESS ELEMENT

President Truman has done nothing in the matter of the cold blooded lynching of two Negro men and their wives by a Georgia mob, that his predecessors in that high office have not done. They, too, spoke with official aloofness about official investigations of ''this and any other crimes of op- pression." They, too, were haun- ted throughout the terms of their office by the mocking spectre of the civilized cannibalism of law less southerners who took the law into their own hands, and who meted out bloody justice on the basis of race and color."
 Even as Attorney General Clark was carrying out the Presidents request to fuse every resource ot the Department of Justice," to track down the Georgia murderers, mob in Mississippi was fioggins an innocent Negro to death and body into swamp. Southern mobs have .1o respect for words, from whatever highly official source they might come. They are men of action, decisive, mur- derous action. They only under stand persuasive language of act tion similar to their own.
 ***#***~##&
 That action must be taken against the terrorist tactics that were called forth by Talmadge and Bilbo in the rcent elections in their states, is the only conclusion that can be drawn now. Unless the government of the United States has the courage and integrity to move directly to wipe out lynchins as an instrument of policy in the southern part of this nation, it must be prepared to admit that it has abandoned the same, construc- tive leadership of Negro America, and made it possible for the Ia less element to take over.
 #*****xx*HN
 There is strong and growing force of leadership in the south that has been calling for an "eye for an eye," retaliation every time a Negro is lynched. Contrary to the commonly-held belief that Ne groes are afraid to die, there are thousands in the south who have been preparing to surrender their souls for the privilege of carrying a white face or two along with them.

wholly by the accomplishments of our famous men and women of science, music and the arts but by the morals and ideals of each of us Every Negro who commits a misdemanor, no matter how small drags down with him his whole race. Ironically enough it does not follow that every Negro who excells pulls his whole race up with him. He is considered an exception but he does add, at least, the respect for one more Negro to the growing and glowing list of accomplished men for the world to see.
 Though you, an individual, live in your own small corner your racial pride and your ideals are speech, social attitude, health, the determining factor by which we, as a race, are judged by the world.
 We must make up our minds Ioudy "ACCIO1 11OG GC O1 shame and the cries of protest, from the world outside, shall be our weapon of defense. It would cause litle blood shed but would mean a complete revolution in the lives of many of us. No longer, will we be able to take the easy read or bow to vice. Anything short of diligence in any honest endeavor by anyone of us wea- kens it's use.
 We must develope a racial spect of each of us asd of the pride that will command the re- neighboring world around us. A weapon, as deadly effective as world opinion at time like this, is one we should not toss lightly aside.

PLAIN TALK
By JOHN M. LEE

game animals, told me of cache of assorted rifles and pistols with ammunition to fit, found on a farm on the outskirts of town. It was from his description, an impress sive assortment of death-dealing weapons, and there was some un- easiness in the community for a good while after the discovery was made. That farm was the arsenal and the meeting place for a group of Negroes who planned to meet murder with murder.
 **x********
 This man told me that he and most businessmen in Mdntgom- cry gave their money freely to the Negro churches and that they con sidered the ministers the real lea ders of the Negro population. He mentioned minister who is now pastoring a Los Angeles church as having been a force for great good in the community.
 Just how long this gentlemen and the President of the United States expects the ministers and the other reasoning leaders of Ne gro communities to be able to cope with the growing residences of their people in the face of bru- tai lynchings is question that must be answered in a hurry. Certainly, it must be before many more lynchings take place, for the temper of the Negro in the south is changing for the worse.
 ***+*******
 Negroes in Georgia feel that they have been abandoned to the tender mercy of the Klan and it's sympathizers. They are losing faith in the logic of patient req soning. They feel that all of the reasoning is being done with them, while the mobs prowl and the deaths mount higher and higher. They cannot tell who will be next and on what fiimsy pretext. They are listening to the arguments of lawless leadership; they are pre- paring to die fighting back, rather than with their backs against wall, or with their bodies dangling from a leafy tree.
 #****%*#*#%
 The Georgia mass murder Is the most horrible example of Amerl- can cruelty and deceit on record. It did happen in Georgia, 1t can happen anywhere so long as there isn't an. effective Federal policy to track down and punish the mob- sters. Lacking confidence in the Federal government, Negroes will resort to protecting themselves outside the law.
 A*A&#*Ak*k*
 This must not be allowed to happen, and it will not unless events place the leadership in the hands of the lawless element.

Portrait of EXperlenCe

Max Yergan, present president of the National Negro Congress was born in Raleigh, N. C., in 1892.
 MT. Yergan studied at Spring field College. Entered the service of the International Committee of the Y. M. c. A., 1914; sent to India 1916; East Africa 1916-18; chaplain Camp Lee, Virginia during world war; in France 1919-20; sent to South Africa 1921-26; returned U. S. 1926.
 MT. Yergan was awarded the first prize Harmon Award in re- hgious organization, December, 1926 and was sent to South Africa again in 1927.
 In 1883 he won the Spingarn medal for advancing interracial un- derstanding. The award was be- cause: "he is missionary of intel igenee, tact and self-sacrifice, rep resenting the gift of cooperation and culture, which American Ne groes may send back to their motherland (Africa); and he inau- gurated =. an unusual move ment for interracial understanding among black and white students"
 The following are excerpts from Max Yergan's address to the Tenth Annual Conference of the National Negro Conference, in Detroit, Michigan, May 30th thru June End:
 "The black man will fight to the death to nreserva tha torch If 1;har ty, but will not live a slave"
 "The aim of the MING. is first to build unity within the Negro race and then to build unity be- tween Negroes and whites"
 ''It is absolutely unthinkable that the Negro people should ever be called upon to shoulder the re- sponsibility for fighting (another) war of imperialism"

Health For All
TB AMONG THE YOUNG

Of all the diseases which aff1ict man, tuberculosis takes the great est toll of lives among young people between 15 and 35 years of age.
 Tuberculosis is no respecter of persons = it strikes young and old, rich and poor. No race is immune to it. Wherever it strikes, it brings suffering. No one can say who suf- fers most from tuberculosis. It is always tragic for the individual to learn that he has the disease, and it is tragic for his family, whether he is young or whether he has pass ed the bloom of youth and is ap- preaching middle age.
 Certainly it is tragic for a young man or woman about to begin a business career or about to be mar ried to be striken with tuberculosis. The years between 15 and 35 are the years of promise and the years which see the beginning of the full fillment of the promises of youth.
 While more people 40 years of age and over die from tuberculosis than young people, just as deaths are more common in the older age group, tuberculosis is the most deadly of all the diseases which att tack young people from 15 to 35.
 Tuberculosis at that age is by no means a death sentence. It can be cured at any age. But the treat ment for the disease means an in- terruption of normal activities for months.
 The risk of catching tuberculosis would be greatly reduced if young people early formed good health habits and adhered to them thru out their lives.
 Of course, the surest way ot never getting tuberculosis is never to come in contact with tubercle bacilli, the germs which cause the disease. But we can never be sure we shall not come in contact with the disease in fact, we can be certain we shall. We can arm our selves in advance, however, so that when we meet the germs we, not they, are the victors.
 Young people should build up re- sistance to the disease by getting a good nights rest every night from 8 to 10 hours-by eating nour- ishing meals which include meat, greens, fruits and cereals, not to mention the all-important milk, by remembering to wash the hands al- ways before eating, by having peri odic physical examinations which include a chest X-ray. An X-ray of the lungs will reveal the pres ence, or absence, of tuberculosis. If one does get the disease, it is far better to know it at once so that treatment can be begun with out delay. The earlier the treat ment is begun, the better for the patient.
 If young people get in the habit of having a complete physical ex- animation, with chest X-ray, at reg ular intervals, they stand the best chance of never losing their health.
 In the next article, summer com- plaint will be discussed.

Our New Weapon
By Lavinia Jones

The time has come for us to give our situation as American citizens some serious thought. We are not in a position to fight prejudice and unjust treatment with arms but we could and should fight it with shame.
 In the present day set up the world is very small and news tra- vels by the grapevine around it as rapidly as it did from Mary Jones' backyard to Mrs. John D U. Van Biggenbottom's front door a few years ago. We should use this to our advantage.
 By this I mean. we could be so correct in our manner, so law-abid- ing, so clean in speech and dress, in mind and body, so above re- proach that any injustice done us would cause the world to point a finger of accusation and scream. Shame on You" at the transgres- scr. The accused would then bear the brand of an unjust man and the hold nation would suffer with him.
 True, this has happened in a small way but would not the effect of the recent lynching par ty in Georgia, been more potent has we, as representatives of the parties lynched, always been above reproach?
 No man is perfect but what a force of opinion we would stimu- late if, as a race, even unto the least of us, we were filled with "a zealous desire to do that which is
 Of we could look with respect right.
 upon the majority of our people and hold in scorn or censor those who. fail to make se1f-respect part of their daily program, if we could feel present within us an honest pride in our ancestors, for their fortitude if nothing else and in our achievements and our ra- pid progress since slavery, we would have weapon to fight race hate far mightier than any modern day weapon, even the atom.
 All the world Is judging us, not
