Brain Interprets Images
That the Eyes Receive

From the standpoint Of psychol.
ogy there are two kinds Of seeing,
points out the Better Vision insti.
tute. First is the physical recep.
ton Of light by the eye, the focusing
Of the light rays on the retina and
the messages telegraphed to the
brain. This part Of seeing usually Is
called visual sensation" These
sensations, however. need interpre-
tation by the brain.
Visual relationships, as the size
Of objects or the speed Of moving
vehicles, largely are determined by
the bEain, guided by memories Of
past visual experiences. For exam
pie, II one person is near and an
other person a distance away, the
visual image Of one may be dou-
bic the size of the other. But the
brain, having learned through ex.
perience to make necessary judg-
ments, secs" both persons at about
the same size. This Interpretation
Of the facts provided by the eyes Is
called visual perception"
For a person TO possess good Wis
ual perception, obviously there must
be a well-functioning eye to pass
along to the brain undistorted Wis
ual sensations. continues the insti-
tute. II the messages arising from
light rays are garbled through
faulty reception, the brain will be
unable to make accurate judgments.

that the systematic oppression Of
the Negro minority in America
about thirteen million of them
has provoked Mr.. Truman to one Of
his periodic outbursts of righteous
oratOry.
at is no secret that the Afro
American in America has three
strikes against him from the day
he is born. In that citadel of democ-
racy, land of the brave and of the
free, the Negro, according to the
Constitution of the United States,
is the white mans equal in fran
chise and iberty-until he tries to
get into some hotels or cast his
vote in some Southern states.
when he is needed for the Olym-
pic games or for war, he is a full
fledged citizen, a dearly beloved
equal, and a 100 per cent American.
At other times, he is just plain
TT, an outcast to be avoided
and Stunned.
an the Solid South specially, and
in some parts of the enlightened
North, the tar baby is an American
citizen provided he is a good
n--r who knows his place and
doesn't insist upon staying in the
same hotels with the white folks
and coming into the dining room
to eat with them.
"If he will submit to segregation
when it is demanded and use the
basement entrance, he is a good
n--r, who is welcome-at a
distance. Filipinos have run up
against the same racial intolerance
and | can understand something Of
the Negroes heart-aches.
at would be interesting to know
what the Russian reaction is to
all these unctuous talks Of free
dom and democracy by Mr.. Tru-
man. If l were Stain, I'd tell Mr.
Truman: Look, chum, people who
live in tin houses shouldn't throw
can-openers aroundr"

Commenting upon the convention
and upon the Pontifical Mass cele-
brated in st. Joseph's Cathedral
by Bishop O'Hara with the assist
ance Of a number of Negro priests,
the Buffalo Star, local Negro week
ly, said:
"All Of the attendants (at the
Cathedral Mass) were not Cath
olics. Some Of them were mem
bers Of Negro Protestant churches
in the community, 20 Of them from
one congregation most Of them
expressed themselves as pleasant
ly surprised with the solemnity of
the service and the cordially they
received as visitors. That Mass
will have far-reaching repercus-
sions :"
The Star took the occasion to
congratulate Bishop O'Hara upon
his policy Of aboIishing separate
parishes for Negro Catholics, and
opening the doors Of all Catholic
churches and schools in the Buffalo
diocese to persons Of all races

cOndemning British action in PaleS-
tine.
According to the dispatch, the
British press vilified Winchell for
referring to the British as "Brut-
ish" and Hecht for a recent ad-
vertisement in New York papers
entitled Letters to Terrorists of
Palestine"
The Sunday Pictorial, a London
tabloid, was quoted as having said
that if Hecht and Winchell were
really so full of compassion at
wrongs done by DULLES to their
weaker brethren, they might slip on
the next train to South Carolina"
The London Sunday Express
asked what the sympathizers of
Jewish extremists would say if "a
society were formed in Britain to
work for justice for the American
Negro? What would they say if
that society formed a charity (free
Of tax like the Palestine war fund.-
to bring more equal liberty to their
Negroes to incite them to rebellion
for their rights and to arm them,
to finance them, and to drop para
chutists into Georgia to lead them"
What would they say if across
the pages of British newspapers the
advertisers of rebellion fund an
nOunced that there was a song in
their hearts every time an Amer
lean white fell to the black mans
bullet?" the newspaper asked.
The People, a London labor pa
per, was quoted as saying:
"Mr. Winchell blindly OvefloOks
the fact that his own doorstep
needs cleaning. Americas 13,OOO,-
900 Negroes seem to have fairly
legitimate grievance. And would
remind him that here in the 'Brut-
ish' Isles we have not had a lynch
ing for the last 200 years. Better
sell that high hat. Walter. Your
TESTERS cap and bells suited you
much better"
A column, Here's Laeson," in
the Philippine Liberty News, dis
cussing Democracy in Action"
said President Truman is worrying
himself sick about democracy in
the Balkans and in the Middle East
while in the United States twenty
eight white Americans lynch Willie
Earle in South Carolina, home state
Of former Secretary of State James
F. Byrnes, and 60 scot-free. The
column continued:
Sensitive of every nuance of
Russian oppression, Mr.. Truman, if
we are to judge him by his actions,
is knight-errant in shining armor,
in his right hand the Almighty Dol
lar, in his left the atomic bomb.
But something seems to be wrong
with this picture.
"Mr. Truman is deeply concerned
about democracy in Greece but he
does not seem to be much concerned
about democracy in his own back
yard. A white mob strings up a
Negro, who for all we know may
have fought to save this world for
American democracy, and there is
no suggestion that the lynching has
caused Mr.. Truman any great men
tai anguish.
