The conference ended with a

conference went by radio to all
America and the world. Washing

listen, parched and perspiring in a
blazing sun.
Washington, however, still re-
manned the jimcrow Capitol. One
dent in the jimcrow pattern was

StubbOrnneSs
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

Certain persons are particularly
stubborn.
All of us at times are stubborn.
The line between stubbornneSs
and firmness is sometimes blurred.
One shades into the other.
It is a good deal dependent upon
how we look at it, upon our point
of view. What we think to be our
loyalty and adherence to convic-
ton may strike another as stub
bornneSs.
r Sometimes it all seems a 'mat-
ter of calling names. }.
There are, however, certain
things that make for stubbornness.
There are qualities which, if we
possess them may well make us
suspect that instead of being per-
sons of firm convictions we are
simply mulish. And always the
easiest person in the world to
deceive is oneself.
Among these qualities are, first,
Egotism. Sometimes we stick to
our position simply because we
held it yesterday. We want more to
be thought firm than to find the
truth. We want more to be thought
CONSTANT than to be right. That
is why Emerson called consistency
"the Hobgoblin of little minds"
No one should be ashamed to
change his opinion. For that means
he follows evidence and is led by
reason, and that his eye is not
mainly on his reputation.
Why should you think the same
thing Friday you thought Wednes-
day? Had Thursday nothing to say?
Of course there are principles
we ought to stand by, but we
should not be afraid of asking our
selves whether we stand by them
because we believed in them, or
because we once believed in them.
Another maker of stubbornness
is PartisanShip.
We love parties because we are
lazy minded, timid and distruSt
ourselves.
Parties supply the vacant-mind-
ed mob with artificial and hand
me-down convictions.
AS there is nothing so vague
and uncertain as questions that
touch the infinite, and as religion

away" "He's alive" These were
the answers.
RULE OF VIOLENCE
The real answer came, however,
after two tense days of search in
the area. Buddy Bush had escaped
his captors, hid in the woods and
finally gave up to FBI agents.
They put him in Central Prison in
Raleigh, where he sits now await
ing trial on trumped-up charge
of attempted rape, while seven
men charged with the kidnapping
are walking the streets free on
$25OO bail each. They are laughing
at the idea that they face trial and
punishment.
Even worse than Greenville is
the situation in Jackson and Rich
Square.
Rich Square Mayor Charles c.
Myers and Superintendent Schools
N. L. Turner are heading defense
group in behalf of the accused
mobsters. Open threats of death
were made against every newspa-
per man who went to Rich Square
to report the attempted lynching.
And during six days following
the Greenville trial seven cases of
white residents were reported Eat
fever pitch" in North and South
Carolina. In each case a Negro was
alleged to have been charged with
rape or attempted rape.
The situation continues to de-
teriorate. There are few bright
spots. Improved race relations in
the South can be found only in
areas where the labor movement
is aware of the dangers and acts
vigorously to break down jimcrow
barriers.
It would be difficult, for in
stance; to whip up full-scale
lynch hysteria in Winston-Salem.
Tobacco Workers Local % has
blazed the trail there for Negro
and white unity. The union practi-

But there, as elsewhere in the

THE PEOPLE SPEAK

Dear Editor:
This is an open letter to the
Negroes, on What is Democracy
and What Does It Mean? Look up
the word and see where you stand.
Does it not cause you to stop
and ask your selves this question,
what is all this talk about COM
munistic influence in this old world
of ours? 1t is not fact that this.
is a well devised scheme OF the
we'll organized fascist to ring the
old Liberty Bell and shout from
the house tops to all the have
nots, regardless of Race or Religion.
What is this stop-Henry-Wallace
all about? Is it a fact that Wal
lace has the courage to pull open
the curtins and smoke screen
the Fascists have been hiding
under? This includes all Negroes
and organized labor. Do you see
what is going on? Hitler is dead
but do you see any change in his
doctrine especially in the deep
South where both Democrats and
Republicans are voting Solidly
against the have-nots.
Bilbo is still Mississippi's Senator;
the grand old Republicans have
not unseated him. Clean your ears
out and be ready, the Republicans
will be around in few days with
that old gag, 'you know we freed
you all"
think have discovered in the
few months, what the Fascists call
Communism is an opposite force
to Hitler's labor driving and slave
boSsing.
All true Americans are praying
and working for the day when
Democracy will reign supreme in
our Fatherland.

lican," opposed the sentence be-
cause "it tends to join in the pres
ent witchhunt."
A minority report sought to sub
stitute the entire statement with
another based on basic American
documents, the UN charter and
calling for a protection of the in
dividual liberties Of all. w. Burk-
hart Turner, a Brooklyn delegates
delivered the minority report.
Finally the statement containing
the opposed sentence was adopted
with few dissenting votes. While it
is certain that there was those pres
ent who wished the statement of
policy to be an nti-Communist in
strument, it at no place mentions
communism or pledges the aSsocia-
ton to an anti-Communist policy.
Indeed, the majority report of
the resolutions committee called
for the abolition of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
because of it's persecution of min
critics. The peppery debate was due
not so much to what was in the
statement as with the concern of
the delegates to keep the associa-
ton free of red-baiting.
CODE CHANGES
On one other point in the resolu-
tons committees report there was
a furry of ruffled tempers. 1t CEN
tered about Article TX of the con-
Stitution which vests in the nation
al board the power to veto deci-
sions of the national conference
pending a referendum.
Led by Henry MCGEE, president
of the Chicago branch the dele
gates won the election of seven
man committee charged with bring
ing to the next conference propos-
ed changes in the charter and the
constitution. In the debate the del
egates overrode objection of Off
GERS and legal staff representatives
who plead for the status quo.
All other parts of the program
were adopted unanimously.
The Taft-Hartley bill was char
acteriZed as IAN attack upon the
rights of organized labor" and the
labor department of the association
instructed to support all plans to
repeal it.
The resolution on labor pledged
the association to aid in organizing
Negro workers into all non-segre-
gated unions and to fight against
job discrimination and segregation
in private and government employ
ment.
The President and Congress were
called upon to end jim-crow in the
armed forces and to free Washing
ton, D. c., of segregation. -.
The non-partiSan policy of the
association was reaffirmed with
the provision that members and Of
ficers can support the candidates
of their choice. In addition there
was mandate to issue legislative
records of elective officers as a
guide to the membership in choos-
ing candidates.

Important Events
Cast Shadows OF
What Is To Come

Several important events have
occurred during the. past week.
Two appear to be of major interest,
one locally and one nationally.
The Arizona occurance that
promises to create the greatest
repercusions was the action of the
State Tax Commission in raising
the assessed valuation of Arizona
mines approximately twenty-nine
and a half million dollars over that
prevailing. The commission justi-
fled it's action on the grounds that
existing valuations of mines were
fixed when copper was selling at
123c per pound, while the present
price is 21ac.
The big increase doubtless will
be contest in the highest courts
by the mining companies.
The second was the announce
ment of President Truman that he
would veto the income tax cut bill
presented him by Congress, with
only the effective date changed, as
he had already done for a previous
bill. The president announced his
intention to veto largely on the
same grounds that he used as
justification for his veto of the
first bill. These grounds were that
the bill is untimely and extends
greater benefits to income tax
payers in the higher brackets than
to those on lower levels.

keeping alive violent white supre-
macy. The House Committee on
un-American Activities has backed
up the Reynolds campaign with a
hunt for reds. Any slight success
in this campaign would bring new
life to the lynch crowd.
LITTLE SUCCESS
Greenville, S. c., on the other
hand, has strong union, the Tex
tile Workers. But the situation, as
far as race relations are concern
ed, has deteriorated there due to
the fact that leaders of the union,
under Social-Democratic influence,
have utterly failed to challenge
jimcrow.

No assault ever was successful
though. He sailed blissfully on

unaware that any serious attempt
ever was made to remove him from

the day the girl he was seeing most
regularly at the time admitted that
she had problem. She owned a
house and she wanted to live in it.
The trouble was that she couldn't t
evict then current tenants because
she was single and not a family in
need OF housing.
Well, there was nothing a man of
honor could do. Our hero could only
live by his code. He braced his

Events in Greece have helped to
bring about since the end of the
war complete turn of the wheel in
the thinking of American policy
makers about this country's role in
attempts to preserve democracy
elsewhere in the world.
Two years ago responsible Gov
ernment officials would have avoided
the very idea of such extensive
American involvement in the affairs
of Greece and Turkey as President
Truman proposed in his address to
congress Wednesday.
Then we preached the democratic
way of life for all peoples. But we
SHE'D away from any positive ac-
ton OH our own to back it up. We
leaned over backward to avoid any
indication of taking sides in pos
sible conflict between democracy
and communism in Europe. We
definitely limited our responsibilities
in such countries as Greece to those
assumed jointly with Russia ano
Britain.
The complete turnabout in ad-
ministration policy during the short
space OF two years is strikingly
