with Russia and the use of
atomic bombs on her to stop the
spread Of communism.
But il the white majority in the
United States, particularly in the
deep South can prove itself capable
Of great living in its relations with
the colored minority in the deep
South, it can begin the elimination
from the minds Of underprivileged
peoples Of the world the conviction
that the only way for them to save
themselves from Anglo-American
dominance and imperialism is by
destroying democracy and substi-
tuting a communistic way of life.
There are some white people who
are capable Of the type of living
that is for what is right every
where. There are the enlightened
ones who are capable Of looking
up and out at the total situation
and how they fit into the total
world picture. 1t is their RESPONSE
bility to bestir themselves to make
the unenlightened ones see that
living and fighting for justice and
equality for minority groups here
in America will do more to allay
suspicion and arrest the sweeping
tides Of communism than all of
American gold and military might.

ton, refer to the recent hear
ings before a subcommittee Of this
committee on amending the Senate
cloture rule. Those hearings in
volved fundamental principles of
democratic government. Yet, from
the viewpoint of Negroes, they were
inadequately reported by the white
daily press. For example, l saw in
no white daily any reference to
the profound statement Of Senator
John H. Overton, Of Louisiana, that
THE Democratic South stands for
white supremacy" An effective
cloture rule and the attitudes of
both the Democratic and Republi-
can parties are matters which
deeply interest Negroes.
Another example of the type of
service rendered the Atlanta Daily
World and the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association involves an
incident before the Senate Com
mittee on Labor and Public Wei
fare. Mr.. Clarence Mitchell, labor
secretary of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, appeared before
that committee recently in opposi-
ton to all pending labor legislation
At the close of his testimony
Senator Wayne Morse, of Oregon
delivered a rebuke to representa-,
tives Of labor organizations who
had appeared before the commit
tee and opposed all pending labor
bills but had not offered any sug
gestions as to the type Of legisla
ton they thought the Congress
ought to enact. The white dali!
papers carried the comment of Sen
ator Morse but not the views o
Mr.. Mitchell. If Negroes are to b,
intelligently informed of what il
going on in Congress, it is essen
tial that they get the views o

Lautier Explains Handicaps Met
In Trying to Cover Congress News
BY Louis Lautier

representatives of Negro organi-
cations as we'll as of members Of
the Congress.
The instances cited involved no
difficulty in cOverage because COM
mittee hearings are open to all
reporters, except that correspond
ents accredited to the press gallery
get first consideration and If all
seats at press tables are taken by
them or if facilities are limited, Ne
gro reporters may be forced to Oc-
cupy seats in the audience, as they
must occupy seats in the visitors
galleries in the Senate and House.
come now to some difficulties
encountered in covering the pro-
ceedings of the Senate itself. On
the opening day of the S0th Con-
gress it was impossible to get into
the Senate galleries, although Ne
groes were vitality interested in
the action taken on the credentials
of Senator-elect Theodore G. Bilbo,
of Mississippi. When the Senate
acted late the next day on the COM
promise agreement laying the Gre
dentials of Mr.. Bilbo on the table,
Negro correspondents had to get
the news the best way they could,
although there were vacant seats
in the press gallery.
During the personal hearing
given me by the Standing Commit
tee of Correspondents, it was sug-
gested that l could follow Con-
gressional proceedings through the
Congressional Record. Let's see
how that works. The vote on clo-
ture on fair employment practice
legislation occurred late on Satur-
day afternoon, Feb. 9, 1916. That
vote had to be sent out that night
if it were to reach Negro papers in
time for publication. Because there
was no Negro correspondent in
the Senate press gallery, the roll
call vote had to be secured from
news service. Admission to the
press gallery would overcome these
difficulties. 1t also would make
available notices of news confer
ences, advance copies of reports,
speeches, and other matters.
AS to my qualifications, repre-
sent both a daily paper and a news
service, some of whose members
require telegraphic service. l send
Geographic correspondence to the
Atlanta Daily World. In addition,
the larger Negro weeklies, some of
which publish editions daily, also
require telegraphic service.

Council Of Negro Veterans that has
applied to Congress for a Congress
sional charter. If Congress grants
it the charter, the VA will auto
matically give the organization &C
creditation.
On our right flank our intelli-
gence reports that even though the
President approved plans to build
another Jim Crow hospital in Mis-
sissippi, the site on which it is to
be built has not yet been purchased
by the VA and there is still time
to stop it if we attack in the right
places.
When the VA turned down
UNAVA's application for accredi-
tation, lots Of things came to light,
For instance, the WHIRL learned
that the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie had also sought accreditatiOn
from the VA, but when it learned
that the VA would ask to look at
its books before giving accredita-
ton it forgot about the matter.
When OdOm was asked to COM
ment on the report that UNAVA
had been denied accreditatiOn be-
cause it showed up "pinkish"
under FBI scrutiny. he COM
mented like this: IF it had been
found cOmmunistic l wouldn't
say So"

Dear Joe
FINGER ATTACK
By JAMES L. HICKS

PINCER ATTACK
Well, Joe, guys like you and me
caught Hail Columbia last week.
Just when it seemed we were about
to get our battle lines drawn, they
hit US from two sides with that
secret weapon which you and l
still haven't figured out how to
beat.
Nobody seems to know exactly
what happened, but it seems that
the attack began on our left flank
in the United Negro and Allied
Veterans sector. Edward Z. OdOm,
Solicitor of the Veterans Admins
tratlon, caught J. Finley Wilson,
grand exalted ruler of the Elks,
and George Murphy, national adJu-
tant of UNAVA, in his office and
when the tumult and the shouting
died MIR. Odom had turned down
the application of UNAVA for Of
fetal accreditation by the VA. That
still leaves us with no colored or
ganization officially recognized by
the VA.
Jim Crow Hospital
As if that bTeak-thrOugh on
our left flank wasn't enough TO
slow us down awhile, President
Harry Truman led a second at
tack around our right flank with
the announcement that the gov
eminent is going to build another
Jim Crow hospital in Mound
Bayou, Miss, for our battle cas-
ualties.
That lookout Of ours in the Vet
Grams Administration, named Jo-
seph F. Albright, who was sup
posed to warn us when Truman was
ready to attack, said he himself
didn't know the attack was coming
All, however, is not lost yet, Joe
In the matter Of accreditation, or
our left flank, re-enforcements are
coming up from the camp Of the

Editor: | have heard several
times from reliable persons that
Negro soldiers and sailors who
have died are placed in a segre-
gated section of the Fort Smelling
Military cemetery.
If this is true, | as a white vet
eran Of both wars resent this insult
to my dead comrades who served to
make this country free from such
practices. It's bad enough to segre-
gate people while they are living
and downright despicable to do it
