The Pioneer Club, second to the
New York A. C. in the national
championships held here last June,
will not send a team to San An

'If the A. A. U. can arrange a
special train, so that our athletes
can have first-class travelling, we
may change our mind" said Yam
cey last Thursday.
Yancey has discussed the ques-
ton Of the national championships
with Herbert Thompson and Eulace
Peacock, and they say they will not
enter the nationals, if they qualify.
Yancey believes their sentiment
and his own would be confirmed by
all colored athletes who currently
hold national titles, including Bar
ney Ewell, EImore Harris, Herbert
McKenley, Bob Kelley, Herbert
Douglas, David Albritton and
Joshua Williamson. These athletes,
by A.A.U. policy, are guaranteed
full expenses for the defense of
their titles.
If the meet goes through as
scheduled, it will be the first ma
tional track championship held in
the South since the 1914 games at
Baltimore. Dan Ferris recalls one
incident there. A Virginia hurdler
refused to compete against Irving
Howe, colored hurdler of the Irish
American A. c., and the late James
E. Sullivan told the Virginian he
had the privilege of withdrawing
from the race.
The 1910 games were held at
New Orleans without colored par
Elephants. The 1907 meet was held
in Jamestown, Va. John B. Taylor,
noted colored quarter miller, was a
winner. The 1927 championships
were awarded to New Orleans but
shifted to Lincoln, Neb., the last
week when New Orleans casually
remarked that colored athletes
would not be allowed to compete.
A meet titled Pan-American was
held in Dallas in 1888, with colored
participants, one of whom was

Rep. C.. LaFOllette
F.E.P.C. Advocate
Seeks SenatOrship

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPAD.
Representative Charles NJ. LaFol-
lette, Republican, of Indiana, an
nounced his candidacy last Satur-
day for the Republican nomination
for the Senate.
He will oppose Senator Raymond
f. Willis for the nomination at the
Republican State Convention Of In
diana. Mr.. Willis's present term
expires January 3, 1947.
In announcing his candidacy, Mr..
LaFollette said he believes that
economics, social thinking, racial
thinking and governmental means of
augmentation are, and must be,
dynamic.
He said the Democratic party,
as now constituted, is not the We
hicle through which the people can
attain greater security. He added:
Those who say that the elimina-
ton Of the poll tax in the South
will make this possible, ignore the
political realities of life. The poll
tax has been eliminated in North
Carolina and Florida, yet the vot-
ing record of the members from
those states in the Congress Of the
United States Pragmatically bellies
this claim. II Senator Pepper is
offered as an exception, | cannot
forget the fact that when seriously
pressed in his last campaign, he
picked up the banner Of white
supremacy and waved it fran
tically.
1.-THE Republican party is the
vehicle presently available to the
people, il they will come in and
make it the radical party in
America"
Mr.. LaFollette has been an ar
dent champion Of legislation to
create a permanent Fair Employ
ment Practice Commission.

Judd Compared
To Gerald Smith
By Citizens Group

A statement issued by the Min
nesota National Citizens Political
Action Committee lambasted Rep
resentative Walter Judd Tuesday.
Representative Judd was accused
Of anti-Semitism and likened to
Gerald L. X. Smith.
The statement story on Judd's
speech in which he singled out
four Jewish Congressman was car
ried in the Minneapolis Tribune on
Jan. 5. The Minneapolis Star
Journal and the Minneapolis Trib-
une have refused to carry an ac-
count Of NCPAC's statement on
Judd. The St. Paul Pioneer Press
did carry 4 story on the statement
In their Sunday edition on Jan. 6.
The original release said:
Representative Judd's attack on
President Humans appeal for
political action is a shocking exhi-
bition. He has not only put the
Presidents program on a purely
partisan basis, but also he has re-
sorted to anti-Semitism as a politi-
cal weapon. His statement that
the program is held up in Commit
tees because the chairmen are all
Southern Democrats with the eN-
ception Of four Jewish Congress-
men whose minds are made up is
the type Of statement that would be
expected from a Gerald L. X. Smith
rather than from former Christian
missionary and a representative Of
the people Of Minnesota. The Ma
tional Citizens Political Action
Committee repudiates al such
political tactics and firmly supports
the plea Of President Truman for
active political participation by all
citizens.

New York FEPC
Success Chairman
Says In Statement

NEW YORK (NNPA).-Henry
c. Turner, chairman Of the State
Commission Against Discrimina-
ton, declared last Tuesday that the
anti-bias law was success and is
achieving the purposes for which
it was designed.
Summing up the first six months
of it's operation since it became
effective July l, he said that dis
elimination in employ n t
throughout the state on the ground
Of race, creed, color or national
origin had decreased appreciably
and that so persuasive has been the
mere presence of the law on the
books that only 1889 cases of alleged
bias had been brought to the at
tention of the commission.
Although the law provides a
maximum $500 fine and a years
imprisonment for racalcitrant
offenders, in not one Of these
cases. said Mr.. Turner. had the
commission been compelled to re-
sort to even a formal hearing to
obtain correction Of protested
discriminatory practices. OF the
1888 cases, he said, l4O were
settled by friendly conferences
and fOrty-seVen are in process Of
settlement. Two are under in
vestigatiOn.
The largest single block Of COM
plants, roughly 40 per cent, the
chairman explained, were based on
discrimination because Of color,
with the next largest group based
on creed and the third on national
origin.
Without indicating what, II any,
weaknesses had been discovered in
the statute, Mr.. Turner said that
the commission was studying the
possibility of strengthening the
law but that a longer trial would
be necessary before any specific
recommendation would be made to
the Legislature. So encouraging,
however, have been the results to
date, Mr.. Turner said, that Massa-
chusetts and some other states have
sought information on its provi-
sions and operation with view to
using them as model for similar
legislation.

G.. N: Dear Sir, | should say
Dear Buddy, because that is just
what you have been to me all these
years that have been writing to
you. l have written you many
times for good sound advice and
each time you were right. The last
time | wrote you l did not take it
but disregarded what you said and
now | wish you were here to oblige
me by kindly kicking my pants good
and proper. l want you to know how
foolish | was. l wrote you about

met. You advised aga st !

but to know her personally and all
about her before getting serious.
| went where she was, stayed two
weeks and spent all my savings
only to find out that she surely
wasn't for me and | returned home
badly discouraged and disappointed.
That is why | am writing you
just to let others know to take heed.
Now to tell you the truth l doubt
if | have ever met anyone that l
should think of getting serious with,
and want you to advise me. Let
me thank you again for your Won
derful help and please help me
again.
Ans: This incident was no great
catastrophe in your life. True, you
lost some money but just chalk
it up to experience and forget all
about it. The time to get serious
with a member of the opposite sex
is after you have found the one who
has proven herself worthy of your
love, affection and loyalty. The
right girl has not crossed your
path as yet =. if she has, it hasn't
registered in your heart. You are
still a young man and if you con-
tinue your association with the nice
girls in your city, you will eventu-
ally lose your head" for a worthy
lass.

heavy industry, that 1t was neces-
sary to begin the development Of
heavy industry as quickly as pos
sible, and that to be too late in
this task meant to lose. The party
remembered Lenin's word that
without heavy industry it would
be impossible to safeguard the
independence Of our country,
that without it the SOVIET system
could perish.
Therefore, in our country the
Communist Party reversed the
usual path of industrialization
and began the industrialization
of our country with the develop
ment of heavy industry. This
was very hard but not impossible
to achieve. A great help in this
task for us was the nationaliza-
ton of industry and banking, en-
abling us to transfer money
speedily into heavy industry.
1t would have been impossible
to achieve. without this, the
transformation of our country

Communist Party Unable

Secondly, factor in carrying
out our policy was the collec-
Invitation Of the rurual economy.
Here, our aim was to give the
country more bread, more cot
ton. And it was necessary to
change from small-scale peasant
economy to large-scale agricul-
tural economy, for only the large.
scale farm is in position to apply
new, modern technique and to
use all its achievements to in
crease production. ..s. =
It was necessary to make large
scale agricultural economy a col
lectivist one. The Communist
Party could not adopt the capita
list method Of developing the
rural economy not only because
Of reasons implicit in our prin-
ciples, but also because the
capitalist type represents a slow
development and implies a ruin
alton Of the peasants.
That is why the Community
Party embarked on the road Of
the couectivization Of the rural
economy through uniting individ-
ual peasant properties into a new
form-a "kolkhoz."
This collectivization proved
itself beneficial experience.
Not only because 1t did not in
volve the ruination Of peasants,

party people. In former days,
Communists had an attitude Of
a certain mistrust towards nom
party persons. This is explained
by the fact that the "nonparty'
banner frequently masked GER
tain bourgeois groupings, who
did not find 1t advantageous to
present themselves to the electors
without a mask. Such groupings
existed. There was such a state
of affairs in the past but now
times have changed.
Nonparty people are now sep
arated from the bourgeois by a
barrier which is called the Soviet
social system. This very same
barrier unites the nonparty peo-
pie with the Communists into
one common collective Of Soviet
peoples.
Living in one common collec-
tive they fought together for the
strengthening Of the might of
our country. Together they
fought and shed their blood at
the fronts, for the sake OF the
freedom and greatness Of our
motherland. Together they
forged and created the victories
over the enemies Of our coun.
tries. The sole difference be-
tween them Is that some of them
are members of the party and
others are not. But this differ,
ence is only a formal one.
What is important Is that
both Communists and nonparty
people are fulfilling one COM
mon task. Therefore, the block
Of Communists and nonparty
persons is in my view a natural
and common cause.
In conclusion, permit me to
express my gratitude for the
confidence which you have
shown me In nominating me as
candidate for deputy to the Su-
preme Soviet.
I will try to justify this conf
dence.
