Area Returns
To Normolcy
After Storm

Jackson County, only grazed by
the tropical hurricane which rip
ped inland from the Gulf further
down the coast, still tabulated
damages at more than a million
dollars at midweek, when con-
ditions had returned to near nor
NAL here.
No loss of life or serious in
iuries were revealed in a local
Red Cross release yesterday and
only sixteen homes were listed
as destroyed or seriously damaged
leaving 81 persons temporarily
homeless.
Electricity and telephone SER
vice had largely been restored
to all users and the few remain
ing repairs were expected to be
completed by the weeks end.
Some losses, mostly minor, were
sustained by more than $500 fam
lilies throughout the county, ac-
cording to the Red Cross release
which was issued by the chair
man of the Disaster Relief Com
mittee. O. K. Wiesenburg.
Virtually all damage resulted
from rampaging waters, rather
than the high wirds which came
in guests of 80 milfs an hour early
Friday morning ir the coast sec
ton of the county. Beach front
residences, boat owners, and live
stock and pecan orchard owners
suffered the heaviest matetiak
losses with exception sof zoe Fufga
lie Housing Authority units in
the Eastlawn section of Pascagou-
la where roof damage was ex-
tensive.
To Delay Sale
Two hundred men were at work
in the housing project this week,
replacing an estimated 10000
squares of asphalt roofing wreck
ed by the high winds.
Based on current costs of ma
terial and labor, the damage was
unofficially estimated at more
than a quarter-million dollars in
the housing project alone. Water
damage to interiors apparently
was not extensive.
Regional Director r. E. Bates
of the Public Housing Authority
Atlanta office told the Chronicle
Star and Advertiser by long dis
lance telephone yesterday that
the proposed sale of the units
to individuals would be indefin-
itely DELAYED while repairs are
made to bring the units back to
first class condition.
Manager James F. Hundley and
his staff at the local PHA office
have been given full authority to
proceed with repairs as circum-
stances dictate, Mr.. Bates said.
Roofing was rushed to Pascal
goula by truck from points in
the east and repairs have been
progressing at a rapid rate since
the day after the storm. Sever
al crews of men are at work in
different sections of the project
and more roofing is en- route
here, it was said.
Return to Work
Ninety-five percent of the en-
ployees of the ingalls, Shipbuild-
ing Corporation were back on the
job yesterday and no estimate of
damages to the yard could be
obtained pending the completion
of a survey.
The seawall along the coast
section in the county suffered al
most unbelievably small damage
in spite of log-strewn waves

umbia Tenn, riots in which 90
of 25 defendants were released,
another later, and the last now
on appeal. The many vivid ac-
counts of the frightful Tennessee
riots and the last stand of I'M
armed Negroes, halted the speak

cited cases in various states where
Negro students were denied the
right to enter college. The cases
are now on appeal. In Texas and
Oklaoma the presidents of the
colleges recommended that Me-
groes be admitted. Opposition to
Negroes entering educational in
situations came wholly from adult
whites, little opposition from the
generation.
Cases in five states where Ne
groes are not allowed to vote
will eventually reach the U. s.
Supreme Court and a favorable
opinion is expected. He reminded
his listeners that no problem
should be considered local all are
national.
He said that wherever segrega-
ton occurred in schools real estate
transaction it was in many cases
created by Negroes for their own
benefit. Nor does a Negro enter

has deprecated before a Negro

of a two and a half hour Jazz
concert consisting of the worlds
greatest artists! And If you don't
believe it listen to these names
who will be at the Moore Theatre,
in person, on Sunday next; Cole
man Hawkins. Buddy Rich, Trum-
my Young, Helen Humes, Benny
Fonville, Kenney Kersey, Willie
Smith and Buck Clayton.
In previous tours of the country,
this concert group has achieved
tumultuous acclaim, not merely
from the glazed-eye, hyper-emotion-
al variety of music lover, but also
the more sedate, discriminating
music connoisseur.
Norman Granz, creator of Jazz
Philharmonic, has attempted to
stress the democratic spirit of
America in these concerts. Jazz, he
says, SIS product of all America,
deriving much of its inspiration
and creation from the Negro peo-
pie. Jazz holds up no superficial
bars. 1t is played and listened to
by all peoples in harmony, to-
gether. AS in genuine democracy,
only performance counts. Jazz is
truly the music of democratic Am
erica. 1t is an ideal medium for
bringing about better understand
ing amoung all peoples"
In line with this philosophy, Mr..
Granz and his aggregation of art
lists have given generously of their
time and efforts towards worthy
causes. At New York City, recent
ly, the group gave a concert at
Carnegie Hall with the purpose of
donating all receipts to the foun-
derin'g inter-racial, voluntary Sny-
denham Hospital. Their efforts
helped in saving this urgently
needed institution from being
closed.
Norman Granz' Jazz at the
Philharmonic" has also performed
at benefits for the Fair Employ
ment Practices Committee, and to
raise funds for a campaign to
enact legislation to outlaw lynch
ing.

Their with labor for the advance

q. The Communist Party is a
conspiratorlaI organization whose
objective Is world revolution
through the propagation of civil
war In various countries with the
view to preventing the encircle-
ment of Soviet Russia by hostile
capitalist nations.
s. Communists advocate disIoyaI-
ty to the United States.
6. Communists function throuuh
cells and caucus methods in all
organizations to rule or ruin demo-
cratic and liberal movements.
Mr.. Randolph continued, that
during the war, as an evidence
of the callous and ruthless in
difference to the interests of Ne
groes, communists not only re-
fused to support the fight for
fair employment practice policy
In war industries for Negroes, but
counseled against it by branding
the movement ill-timed and
against the interest of the war
against Nazism. With respect to
labor, communists not only insist
ed on the pledges of unions not
to strike during the war, but del
iberately advocated strikebreaking
because strikes might delay the
shipment OF lend lease material to
Soviet Russia. This super-patriot-
ism, commented Mr.. Randolph,
came will ill-grace in view of the
fact that just before Hitler in
yaded Russia, which was a signal
for communist patriotic frenzy,
these very same communists were
picketin gthe White House in
Washington, d. C. and branding
former President Roosevelt, now
glorifjed by them as a saint, as |
a war-monger and social-fascist.
Randolph stated that Negroes
who are first fired and the last
hired cannot afford to add to the
handicap of being black another
handicap of being red.
It is one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the communists every
where that Soviet Russia is the
only fatherland of the workers
and upon that theory they advo-
cate that workers of various coun.
tries turn against their native
land to support the Soviet Union
in war or peace. This is a danger
GUS doctrine to be advocated
among minorities and labor or
liberals.
But, don't condemn communists
because they are radical. l con-
denim them because they are re-
dictionary. Communists seek to
make the public believe it must
be communism or fascism. That
is not true. There is a third cour-
sc. 1t is a planned and planning
economy within the framework of
political liberty democratic social
ism. Negroes to be sure face a
hour of decision. The de-
cision must be to reject total
on the right or fasc-
ism and totalitarianism on the
left or communism. Negroes must
