The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-13

The storm was caused by the
refusal of the two major parties
to consider inclusion of Negro
candidates for posts as judges.
In most previous judicial cleo
tons, that would automatically
exclude qualified Negroes from
any chance of winning a place on
the bench. This year, however,
the coalition "one-party" ticket
will face opposition at the polls
from the newly formed Progress
sive Party, which nominated three
Negroes among 81 candidates.
STORM CENTER was the Cook
County Bar Association, represent
ing the 800 Negro attorneys in
the county.
AT meeting called by the asso-
citation, one lawyer after another
arose to lash the two-party ma
chine caucus for ignoring the
county's Negro citizens.
The Progressive Party was
praised, on the, other hand, in
inverse proportion to the torrent
of bitter criticism heaped on the
Republican and Democratic par
ties.
The three Negro candidates on
the Progressive Party slate - all
well-known throughout the city
for their work in Negro, labor,
progressive and civil liberties ac-
tivities-are Sidney A. Jones Jr.,
Earl B. Dickerson, and Richard
E. WeStbrooks.
"A RESOLUTION unanimously
adopted by the association de-
nounced the two major parties who
failed to give recognition to the
100000 Negro citizens" of Cook
County.
After many of the speakers de-
clared the necessity for Negro
voters to ''look elsewhere" in
forming political alliances, the
group without a dissenting vote
resolved to express its gratitude
and approval" of the Progressive
Party.
The lawyers had collected. more
than $4,000 signatures on petitions
asking that Negro candidates be
named on the coalition ticket. Both
the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties had announced plans
to nominate Negroes, but those
arrangements were junked in last
minute ideals" between the two
major parties.
"A MAIL referendum, to deter
mine the views of the lawyers on
both the Progressive and coali-
ton candidates, was voted at the
meeting.
Lists of the AZ candidates were
to be mailed this week end. The
Cook County Bar Association, after
studying the returns, will decide
what support it will give to indi-
vidual candidates.
No blanket endorsement of either

This Is Democracy
lNew York Timesl

lNeW York IlfneS)
 There has been no clearer statement in modern times of what most Americans mean by democracy than the World Bill of Rights which Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt has taken to the current Geneva meet ing of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The draft was kept short so that school children could memorize it; but brevty is the least of it's merts-it is in words that everyone knows it covers situations all can understand and is plete. Let think this document was scrubbed on the back of envelope pulled out of a hat The Commission Human Rights has been working on this subject for more than year. The British put their proposals in the form of a Foreign Office White Paper June Mrs. Roosevelt had the assist ance of our own State, Justice Labor and Interior Departments.
 The ten articles in the new document assert such political freedoms equal protection under law, freedom of information, speech and expression. the right of assembly and petition the right to trial and the right to vote and to the secret ballot. It asserts such social freedoms immunity from "un- reasonable interference with privacy, family, home, correspondence and reputation liberty freely within country and to migrate outside guarantees against involuntary servtude and protection against dscriminations on account of race sex language or religion. It asserts the economic freedoms of decent living health. education and social security.
 The United States is not today fully living up to all these principles. There are unwarranted dscrmi- nations: there unlawful barriers against voting fair trial is not always given Mrs Roosevets Article VII says that everyone the determination of his rights and obligations is entitled to fair hearing before independent and impartial tribunal and to the aid of counsel" There certainly doubt recently that Federal employees assured of such procedure under the loyalty order. But most of us have conscience about such lapses and try to pre- vent or end them.
 When these principles, in earlier formulation, came before the Human Rights Commission last Feb ruary the Soviet delegate objected that the rights and freedoms designated either superfluous be- yond the present power of the United Nations or impinged on the local laws and customs of national states Readers easily decide for themselves which rights and freedoms impinge the laws and customs now prevailing in Russia. But this definitely is what We in this country by democracy,

prejudice of the seven people it had previously discharged as bad security risks It was the easiest way out of a bad hole. That it was not done a couple of months earlier was due solely to the stub- bornness of the Acting Secretary of State, Mir Lovett, who seems to think he can practice Wall Street methods in Washington.
 Actually, the Departments own loyalty review board had recom- mended that the group of ten dis charged last June be permitted to resign without prejudice, since It was obvious that the Department was not prepared to furnish proof of disloyalty even if 1t had such proof However, Lovett refused to accept such a recommendation.
 While the State Departments recent about-face is now consider ed victory for civil liberties, I consider it only a partial victory. The individuals still concerned are still out of their jobs-with no chance to press their contention that they are entitled to remain in their jobs. Their chances for other Government posts are very poor.
 Earlier this fail three of the ten employees were cleared" but the clearance did them no good, They were permitted to resign without prejudice, and it was known in Washington that the Department itself was ashamed of having fired them.
 Despite this, one of the group was turned down by the Citizens Food Committee for a job for which he was well fitted-even af- ter having been assred he was needed and could have the job. In fairness to the Food Committee he had mentioned his difficulty with the State Department. By the next morning, when he was supposed to sign the necessary pay roll papers, it had been decided he was not needed.
 Note-Contrary to some reports, the FBI had nothing to do with the investigation or the firing of the State Department people. MT. Loyetts alleged sleuths acted en- tirely on their own

 The world strange sights these days We've been considering recently the changing views of tain figures high in the political and economic life Of the country. We've been recalling the opinions of these men, expressed back 10 or 20 years ago.
 It is truly amazing how the isolationsm so popular in the POS, has lost it's followers In fact many of the who, today, insisting that the United States now must accept responsibilities in mote parts of the world-those cried out in alarm when it suggested, back in 1940, that frontier the western coasts of Europe They've pushed that frontier to Russa's front dooryard. Shades of Idahos William Borah
 In the matter of social responsibility, the story is the same. Many statesmen who viewed with alarm ! all attempts to expand State and Federal social security programs now going much farther in their suggestions than extreme socialists of the 1920s dared to go. Imagine how statesman of the Cleve land era would have greeting a proposal to pay all ndigent persons of 65 and over annual pension of $50 month! Yet virtually every State in the Union today does just that

4 NEW ALASKA GUARD?

We picked up a copy of the Chicago Tribune the other day and surprised to see that plans for new national guard setup for Alaska have been all worked out between the U. s. Army and the Gov ernor who has neglected to tell us about it. Just in case some other Aaskans may be interested in the plans being worked out for their Territory, We are reprinting the story herewith:
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2O-Plans for the first post war national guard unit in Alaska have been approved by the Army Maj. Gen. Kenneth F. Craner, national guard chief announced today Details being worked out by Army leaders and Gov Ernest Gruening
 Alaska has been deprived of Federaly recognized guard organization for nearly year because of a controversy between Gruening Roosevelt appointee and the Army over the projected composition of the units military sources said The Army had proposed a standard national guard centered in the population centers it was learned, while Gruening insisted on a government financed scout organization scattered through the tiny Alaskan villages.
 GRUENINC, VICTORY SEEN
 The Army announcement that it has accepted plans for the unit and that Gruening would partci- pate in development of final details interpreted as a victory for the New Deal Governor. This was the first controversy of its kind in the peacetime reorganizaton the guard according to Army leaders
 The predecessor of the Territorys new national guard was home guard, hastily created after Pearl Harbor and later known popuarly "Gruenng's Guerrinas" Political forces opposed to the Governor criticized him bitterly when, during campaigns he flew at government expense into Eskimoland to Ire view the home guard
 PLANE SQUADRON ASKED
 His opponents also charged he courted the good will of the native through rifles given the home guard from Army stores.
 It is understood that the Alaska national guard will now be composed of two scout battalions toaling 43 officers and S85 men who would act primarily as gahere of intelligence and warning outposts in the event of emergency. Gruening has also asked for the assignment Of squadron of troop carrying trans port planes it was learned despite Army suggestions that a fiehter squadron would be more practical

overwhelming majority of those who Hooked to the hammer and sickle did so either for fear Of being shot as collahorationists at the end of the war or because they sincerely believed Russia and the Communists could revive their own battered economies.
 However. RusSias own shattered internal situation has prevented Moscow from giving significant aid to it's satellitized neighbors- let alone France and Italy This reported my diplomatic friends has led to great disillusionment among the newly recruited Com munists of Europe, who are now swinging to the opposite extreme.
 My friend described the Moio- tov-Vishinsky anti-American cam paign as perhaps the biggest of all Moscow blunders. IL would be 
 impossible, he said, to prove to Europe in less than two decades that America was an unfriendly, aggressive or "Warmongerlng country. The record was all the opposite.
 What my friends in the Krem- lin forget" said the Russian dip lomat. lis that almost everybody in Europe has relatives in the Uni ted States. Almost everybody in Europe dreams of migrating to the United States. And almost every body in Europe knows that even the poor people in the United States are better off now that the war is over than most of the rich people in Europe .'
