Dear Joe
HAND ON A DOLLAR
By JAMES L. HICKS

The idea Of letting you cash your
terminal leave bond on September
l is gaining popularity on Capital
Hill like a rolling SNOWFALL, Joe.
Last Monday the House unani-
mOusly passed a bill to allow you
to cash your bond. The vote was
1856 to 0.
The bill has been sent to the
Senate and if that body acts as
swiftly as the House the bill may
be lying on the Presidents desk
before Congress goes home for the
summer.
Included in the bill is a provision
that would extend the deadline for
filing your terminal leave applica-
ton until September l, 1913.
That's all well and good, Joe, be-
cause many of the boys still don't
know they are entitled to terminal
leave pay, but don't you go sitting
around and waiting until next year
to file for your leave because, as
it stands now, the deadline is still
September l of this year and if
you wait beyond that deadline and
the Senate fails to pass the bill
or the President vetoes it you will
be sad sack with no chance to
collect your dough.
File that application now-and
while you're doing it renew that
$4,000 insurance policy.

tail-wielders cut his back into sau-

He told me he took it without
crying out loud or promising that
he would not go again if they let
up on him. He made me see women
and children covering their faces
TO shut off the sight Of his torn and
bleeding body, Of how they begged
him to promise that he would not
run away again so that they would
stop whipping him. He never did.
They finally segregated him from
the other slaves, gave him tasks TO
do around the house, and allowed
him to visit on other plantations
after his chores were done.
They never broke his spirit. He
did all he could do to attain his
freedom while a slave. And the
gods gave him his freedom be-

Representative Everett NJ. Dirk
sen, Republican, Of Illinois, gave
the House Administration subcom-
mittee holding hearings on anti
poll tax legislation u simplified
lesson in constitutional law.
Before Mr.. Dirksen's appearance
before the subcommittee, Repre-
sentative Tom Pickett, Democrat,
Of Texas, a poll-taX State, grilled
witnesses on the constitutionality
Of the proposed legislation, even
though the witnesses may not have
been lawyers, and Representative
Burr P. Harrison, Democrat, Of
Virginia, another pOll-taxer, at
tempted, TO cross examine witnesses
on the extent TO which they thought
Congress had authority to go in
aboliShing qualifications for vot-
ing In federal elections.
But when Mr.. Dirksen appeared
before the subcommittee, Mr.. Pick
EFT, q former Texas district at
torney, was most respectful of his
colleague, and Mr.. Harrison was
no match for Mr.. Dirksen.
In effect, Mr.. Dirksen defined
qualifications" as competency or
capacity and listed as proper quail
ifications for voting citizenship,
age, residence, and literacy. He
defined the poll tax as a restriction
inasmuch as It involves no question
Of comprehension or capacity.
Applying Mr.. Dirksen's defini-
ton, It Is interesting to note the
extent to which the poll tax has
restricted voting.

reasonable about the historic in
situations Of prejudice and segre-
CATION and to chant the theme that
education and time will take care
Of the problem is very great indeed.
But the Negro leader is up
against still another proposition.
Suppose that he takes an aggressive
stand. Will the other Negroes in
the community back him up? OF
course they think they will and they
do a lot Of talking about it, but
once he has taken this stand, he
ofttimes finds that the community
is not solidly behind him. He may
be patted on the back for the first
few days after the thing has hap
pened, but then he begins to realize
that the very people who would be
so willing to accuse him of selling
out have become frightened by his
aggressive act and start to con-
denim it.
They are afraid that his aggres-
siveness might bring down the
wrath of the white people on the
entire Negro community.
So there the Negro leader stands.
On one hand he wants to be ac-
cepted by whites as an equal and
feel proud of the recognition that
he has been given, but on the other,
he is afraid of offending whites if
he challenges the fundamental
structure of our race relations
system,
AS long as he is in a position
of dominance, other Negroes, en-
vious of his position and acceptance
by white leaders, will accuse him
of being an Uncle Tom, Of selling
out. But at the same time he knows
that there is a great likelihood that
they won't back him up if he gets
out on a limb" 1t takes great
strength and fortitude to be a
strong leader of a minority group.
We have produced few such leaders
and for good reasons.
But in this role, many Negroes
become hysterical and attempt to
fight the cause of the Negro with
no consideration as to tactics; rush
in with both fists flying, when a
calm, deliberate, but firm, state
ment should have been made,
Others become abject tools of the
whites who call them Mister" eat
with them, drink cocktails with
them, but use them to control the
Negro masses and to make the pre-.
text that the democratic ideal is
being served.
We will have mature Negro
leadership when we have person!
who can take a firm position with
out hysteria, but with a deep mora
conviction that they will never com
promise on issues which affect theil
group.
Personally, I'm just so glad In
not a Negro leader l don't know
what to do. It's much more full
to be a writer.
