Friday and Saturday are the two
last days in which you may pay
Your poll tax and be eligible to vote
in the Democratic Primary election
this summer.
We urge all qualified, white Demo-
cratic electors to pay their poll tax
before it is too late.
Poll Tax monies go to the schools
-. and the schools need the money.
There are least ], 500 qualified men
and women in Holmes county who
have not yet paid their poll tax. If
you cannot make special trip to
Lexington for the purpose of paying
your poll tax you can send a check
or money order for $500 to Sheriff
w. L. Murtagh through the mail to-
gether with your name and voting
address.
Any qualified ex-serviceman
may vote with only one poll tax re-
ceipt which he must pay this week.
Mr.. Holding Carter, editor Of the
Delta Democrat-Times at Green
vile in the Mississippi Delta, had
something to say this week con-
corning his personal views and
stand on the racial question.
Mr.. Carter is one of the most dis
tinguished of our young editors in
the south. Descended from a fine
southern family he was born and
has lived his entire life here. with
the exception of some six years
spent in the service of his country
in World War ii in which he was
seriously wounded. His education
background is of the finest type
and he is an honest reporter and
splendid writer.
Mr.. Carter says:
Il have never advocated or be-
lieved in any movement for
social equality the ending of
segregation or the mass enfran-
chising of the Negroes of Miss
issippi. Such movements, in my
opinion are both unrealistic and
dangerous to the cause of inn
proved racial relations in the
South. My entire editorial and
personal interest in our racial
problems has been directed to-
ward:
~ The raising of the educat-
ional, health and living stand
asaarde Of the Southern Negro as
prerequisite to general i'm
provement in the economic we'll
being of the South;
(2) The attainment of more
nearly equal justice for Negroes
in Southern courts, in respect
to offenses committed against
him as well as those committed
by him.
(3) A greater recognition that
the Christian concept Of mans
responsibility for his fellow man
has very practical meaning to.
the western Democricies in
Communist-th threatened world;
(4 The condemnation of the
bigots of all sections of our
country who would deny to mi
nority groups even their right
of self-respect and self-advance-
ment."
The views expressed by Mr. Car
ter are given here because they
clearly, simply and forcibly express
the views held by the vast majority
of decent white christian people of
Mississippi and the south not
just the majority of the editors.
The four principles as stated by
Mr. Carter should be of personal
concern and interest to every
thoughtful man and woman in Miss
issippi and the south :. for whether
we like ii or not we ere our brothers
keeper. The Good Book says so and
we cunnot evude our responsibility.

"We need two new hospitals, in

in the country, which are small
and have no means test. They
should be as pleasant as private
hospitals and do what is done in
many places outside Cook county"

private hospital and don't want
to go to pauper hospital, stay at

average each year"
He said the medical society
plans to introduce in the legisIa,

half to Cook county and half to

said.

Flick and Five Aides
In German Industry
Deny War Crimes
BY the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, Germany, April 10.
German steel magnate Frederick
Flick and five of his industrial as
sociates pleaded not guilty to war
crimes charges today after an Amer
lean prosecutor declared in a blister
ing opening statement that they
shared the blame for German crimes
equally with the militaries.
The six co-defendantS entered
their pleas of innocence before a
crowded American courtroom In
which the spectators included Gen
Lucius D. Clay, American military
governor of Germany.
Flick was accompanied in the
prisoners dock before the four man
American court by Otto Steinbrinck,
Kon1ad Kaletsch, Bernhard Weiss,
Hermann Terberger and Otto Burk-
hart. Burkhart was a last-minute
addition to the list Of defendants.
They were accused of boosting the
Nazis to power, of financing the SIS
elite Guard, of exploiting slave
labor, of cheating Jews out of prop
erty and Of plundering occupied
countries.
Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor pre-
sented a 120-page opening address.
This is the first war crimes trial
of industrialists in history and is
admittedly testing ground invit-
ing the interest Of international
lawyers, commerce and the military
Firm Larger Than Krupp.
The shadowy Flick and his Con-
cern" was larger and more i'm
portant toward the end of the war
than even the more well-knoWn
Krupp combine.
Flick had coal mines in Silesia
and steel mills throughout Germany
I'VE charge that these men set at
naught the freedom of other men,"
Gen. Taylor asserted. "They denied
the right to exist by joining in
the enslavement of millions of un-
fortunate men and women all over
Europe who were uprooted from
their homes and families and i'm
prisoned in Germany to dig in mines
and labor factories under appalling
and unspeakable' circumstances
which spread death, disease and
misery"
Flick, a master at juggling hold
ing companies, emerged by 1882 as
the "undisputed steel king" of Ger
many, Gen. Taylor asserted. There
was evidence, he said, that Flick
was in trouble with the Reichstag
over some of his deals and got
together with Adolf Hitler and Her
mann Goering for their political
support in exchange for his dollars.
AS soon as the Nazis were in power,
he said, the Flick concern was in
high favor.

1t may have been the Greetings"
from the President that a lot of
men received during the war, or a
major mutation In male makeup,
but the average American man has
become what he never was before,
a confirmed buyer and sender of
greeting cards.
This was revealed yesterday as 40
manufacturers of the Greeting Gard
Institute of America got together
in the Hotel Statler to devise ways
of seeing that the trend continues.
Time was when not one man in
10 thought of buying a greeting
card. They either scribbled off a
note or forgot the occasion alto
gether. That was before the war,
the experts said.
During the hustle and increased
emotion of the war years, numerous
males got busy and bought cards
to express sentiments to friends or
relatives. And the grand total of
greeting cards used went higher
than ever before.
Considerable affection was dis
played by the greeting card people
for Kate Smith, the buxom singer.
