GREEN LIGHT GIVEN
FREEDOM TRAIN BY
HATTIESBURC, MISS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Hattiesburg,
Miss, did an about face in its
recent rejection of the Freedom
Train visit and win now have
the show but with separate
lines for Negroes and whites.
This change-over was announced
here early last week by Eric
Frieheim. American Herita e
Foundation representative. who
visited the town after 1t had an
nounced that the show could not
go on unless the races were seq
regated.
The original arrangement was
that whites and Negroes would
visit the train at separate times.
Under the new agreement. white
and Negro lines win be formed
separately to view the train and
both lines will be given equal op-
portunity to view it,"
Meanwhile, Memphis city and
county officials are still holding
out for. the plan that the two
racial groups visit the train at
different times. Mayor Pleasands
proposed that whites see it half
the time. and Negroes the other
half.
The Memphis date was Jan. T..
and unless the Foundation and
Memphis officials reach an agree
ment. the train will bypass the
city. Already. the foundation has
received bids from CORN and Lau-
rel. In Mississippi. together with
other Southern stiles for the re-
jected date.
According to Mr.. Friedheim, the
Mississippi plan of handling the
races for the Freedom Train event
is the same as that adopted by
Birmingham. Lines will form
separately and twenty-five persons
from each will alternately be al
lowed to go through the train.

The German problem
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
What to think of the German
people? That poses an interest
ing question. ~
Offhand I would say that they
were the worlds greatest fools
to. be taken in by the rantings
of a Hitler. E.z
On second thought, 1 would
say that they were very much
like the American people. .a
They have the same thirst for
games and music, fun and frolic
and a like desire to belong to be
zone of the boys" Through this
desire to conform they lost their
own individualism and become
easy prey for a super individ-
ualist like Hitler.
The ditlers and Goebbels, like
the Rankins and Bilbos appealed
to the bigotry of the ignorant
and the ungodly to stir up race
prejudice.
The 'pogroms and massacres
that followed showed the world
the fruit of lynch-lawlessness.
The world revulsion these pc,
groms melted showed the essen
tial unity of mankind, and led to
the destruction of the promoters
of hatred in Germany.

A spokesman on a recent Voice
of Business broadcast WENR,
pointed out that people with fix
ed incomes such as public serv-
ants, teachers, pensioners etc.

initiation more than union mem
bers. Granted, but on the other
hand, many such folk. enjoyed re-
latively stable jobs during the
depression and deflation and

shion the shock of a, temporary
initiation period.
In any event the intelligentzia
has as much right to organize in
unions as have other workers.
This new found sohcitude of
Business for the unorganized is
very touching. But I question its
sincerity.
A brief review of my scrap
book for the last 10 years shows

Military parasites

In an address before the Ca
diets of West Point, President
Truman said that they must be
prepared to rule the country.
There is no doubt that the
military hierarchy agrees with
this heartily.
These ambitious war lords are
not satisfied with an armed force
10 times as large and 20 times
as costly as any force we have
ever had in our previous peace
time history.

To the Editor:

10 the EOltOrs
Raeburn Flerage's December
21st, column, recommending re-
cords for Christmas, reminds one
of the Dutch story of the leak IN
the dixie. For children he suggests
an album Lets Play" with this
following opening quote:
Although a trace of chauvin-
ism is suggested ;. the over all
idea is excellent"
Since when do we measure
| the degree of chauvinism all
Owable before we condemn any
thing as chauvinistic? Our So
ciety is corrupt enough without
prOgresSives consciously or un-
consciously adding our bit.
Why should we who should be
the watchdogs of culture be the
ones to-of all things-suggest as
gifts Cd anything containing even
trace of chauvinism"?
From this point on, it is an
easy step to acceptance of the
whole system of jim crow. And
for those who already believe in
jim crow, Flerlage's statement is
a vindication.
Whereas the Dutch boy kept
his finger in the leaky hole, Fler-
lage takes his finger away and
allows the poisonous flood to seep
in.
The record of the STAR in
fighting white chauvinism and
jim crow is consistent and clear
and it is therefore unfortunate
that someone even on the over
worked staff did not catch this
error.
