Perry Howard
Pleads For National
Freedom Day

WdSuluSlOu, IL. ". MIDI. \1NNI al
Perry w. Howard, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for Mississ-
ippi, appeared last Wednesday be-
fore the House Judiciary Commit
tee and urged enactment of a
bill to establish February as
National Freedom Day. in COM
memoration Of the PRONUNCIATION
of the Thirteenth Amendment to
the United States Constitution.
In supper of the i'll Mr.. Howard
presented letters from President
Truman, Governor Thomas E. De-
wev of New York and Senators
Robert A, Taft, of Ohio, and Ed
ward Martin of Pennsylvania, Re-
publicans, addressed to Major Ri
chard R. Wright, president of the
National Freedom Day Association
Philadelphia.
President Truman, in his letter,
said:
when President Lincoln signed
the joint resolution proposing the
Thirteenth Amendment, he set into
motion he machinery which re-
suited in the abolition of chattel
slavery. BY his enactment, the
master and the slave were both
liberated; the master from the
moral strain, the slave from the
yoke of bondage.
"The cause of freedom is one we
must all work for today and every
day. AS long as tolerance and
bigotry exist, We must work to
free intolerant men from the bonds
of their own prejudice, and to free
the victims of intolerance from the
indignities which are too often
heaped upon them
To help in this fight President
Truman said he had appointed
the Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights.
In his letter, Governor Dewey
wrote;
"There can be no man or woman
of reasonable intelligence who
does not see in the adoption OF
the Thirteenth Amendment an act
hat was just, that was right in the
sight of God.
"Today we see in that consun1a-
ton a step that was not only
right but wise. It's wisdom has
been amply proved by the achieve
ment of the American Negro in
the eighty-two years since he was
liberated from bondage.
"He has shown beyond all doubt
his ability as well as his title to
become an integral part of our
civilization. He has contributed ell
fectiyely to American society not
only in an economic but also in a
cultural sense.
"He has played his part as be-
comes a free man in every war
we have fought since his emancl-
patton. He has had to struggle TO
in the face of bigoted and litter
ate prejurice, in the teeth OF I'M
worthy discrimination"
Governor Dewey said New Lork
was proud of having taken the lead
in the fight against race and re-
ligious discrimination through Its
anti-discrimination law which is
working smoothly and effective
~"
Both Senator Taft and Senator
Martin pledged their support OF
the bill. 81 think the establishment
of a National Freedom Day would
be a tremendous instrument OF
goodwill and would help to further
promote wholehearted cooperation
between the races in this country
Senator Taft wrote.

CuNMAN TERROR|zES
EAST JACKSON
1 Killed, 8
Wounded in Fannin
Road Shooting
BY James Rundles

Jackson, Miss, A Drunkened,
crazed man, with a pistol in his
hand ran amuck to terrorize the
Fannin Road Negro section of the
ill-famed and notorious Gold
Coast" of East Jackson, Rankin
County, Saturday night. When the
excitement had been abated, after
contsables had generously used
their clubs and lackjacks in an
effort to restore order, it was
found that one woman had been
shot ia death, two other woman
wounded, one seriously, and one
man was suffering from a minor
gunshot wound. Prior to this inn
mediate incident, there were nu-
merous reports of cuttings of vary
ing degrees of seriousness earlier
in the night. Eyewitnesses to the
shooting who escaped injury testi-
fled that Woody Wclaurin, en-
ployee of a gold Coast night spot
fired the fatal shot as well as the
wounding of three others, one of
which was not expended to live
here late Tuesday night. Witness
es to the shooting state that Nc
laurin enered the night spot in
the company of two women later
identified as Hurdyseen and Pearl
Porter. sisters-in-law of south JEFF
ferson street. After buying drinks
for the pair, he made improptr
advances to Hurdyseen, elder of
tn two, which she refused. Scream
ing in anger, Mclaurin fired on
her as she turned to flee the
building The bullet striking her
in the head killing her instantly.
Pearl Porter, sensing her danger
Gus position, had left the building
a few moments earlier. Mclaurin
dashed front he building and see
ing her coming from the rear of
the club, shot her through the
throat leaving her on the spot.
He then re-entered the club treat
ened the thoroughly frightened
crowd with his pistol, and shot
James Holden through the arm.
He then struck a. woman blocking
his path in the head with the butt
of the weapon and fired repeatedly
into the ceiling as he left the
building. He was later apprehend-
ed by Rankin County law off3feds

of it's board of direcors Saturday
morning, by.passed the question
of filing suite for equalization of

statements from well informed
sourses said that the money for
filling the suite, the teacher who
would act as complainant, had
already been obtaised and all that
wah needed was the approval for
filing the suite by vote of the or.

Not only wat the question of
the filing of as ute for esual-.

the entire question of teachers

Raleigh, N. c. Mar. (NNPA) -
Fearful that colored persons may
seek admission to the merical
school of the University Of North
Carolina, State Representative l..
l.. Burgin of Henderson last Mon
day offered in the state legisla-
ture a bill providing for an appro-
priation of 100000 for the estab-
lishment of a two-year merical
school at North Carolina Cillege.
The bill was accompanied by a
statement in which Burgin touched
on the question Of race discrimina-
ton and expressed the view that
establishment of medical schools
should be deferred until county
hospital needs has been met, add
ing:
eff the state should decide to
build a four-year medical school
at Chapel Hill, then the state
would either be compelled to ad-
NIT negroes at Chapel Hill Medi-
cal School or build a merical
school for negroes"
He said he preferred medical
school for colored students, refer

that state, maintaining separate
schools, mus provide the same

Mr.. Shufer's Attack

In effect, in his attack on them
In the House, Republican Repre-
sentative Shafer of Michigan has
accused Dean Acheson and William
L. Clayton of deliberately using their
high Offices to enrich themselves at
the expense of the American people.
To support this grave charge, Mr..
Shafer has offered not shred of
substantiating evidence. He has
merely given voice to number of
insinuations, the burden of these
being that Mr.. Acheson and Mr..
Clayton particularly the latter
have been advocating and nego-
tiating loans to foreign countries
as a source of profit to themselves.
Accordingly, threatening to do his
best to have Congress investigate
them otherwise, he demands that
they either resign or be thrown out
of the State Department.
The reckless nature of this at
tack is the more pronounced because
of the high caliber of its victims.
Offhand, it is difficult to think of
two abler or more devoted public
officials than Undersecretaries Ache
son and Clayton, each of whom has
made q personal financial sacrifice
in order to serve the country. They
are the kind of men that our Gov

wants to give them. But at the same
time they wish to maintain a reasonable
balance of security. They want to be
ready to deal with today's possible emer-
agency as we'll as tomorrows.
So the Navy still asks for aircraft
carriers, battleships, cruisers and de-
stroyers, for the command of the sur
face of the sea is still of vital importance
to us. The Army asks for certain

borne diyisions-because there Is no
reason to believe that operations on the
surface of the earth have become en-
tirely outnoded since We day. when
they brought the German war to sue
cessful conclusion.
From the point OF view of the
national security pending establishing
of peace, we should realize that our
military leaders dare not think of Sc
curity in any other terms than security
today, while preparing also for security
tomorrow or next week. Lacking Sc
curity today, the security of tomorrow
or next week may become hopelessly
compromised
Beyond that stark consideration, there
is also the certainty that this Nations
influence in world affairs, and its ability
to carry out its duties as the strongest
member of the United Nations, rests
largely on the possession of adequate
and suitable types of military power.
The Buck Rogers weapons are not the
weapons of world police, nor the weap-
ons of Americans temporarily perform
ing police duties for lack of a true in
ternational police force.
In all these respects it is highly dam
perous to say to ourselves-as too many
are saying: "Oh, the next war will be
fought by professors pushing buttons
and will all be over in five minutes" We
may hope there will never be another
war but If so it will be because the
people Of the United States conduct
their policies with moderation and COM
mon sense, both now and for the future.
