Although we wonder about many things we seldom find school which includes Negro his tory in it's curriculum. Yet there are considerable sums of money being spent to rehabiE tate the world. But the age-old Negro problem lags.. The idea of having a week set aside in order to acquaint whites and negroes with the struggle and the progress of the Negro race has been an asset to the Negro. If more people studied the Ne gro there would be less trouble than we have now.
 For a long time Negro stud ents were unfamiliar with their own History. But in more re- cent years many Negro Histor- ies have been placed on the mar ket. These historians who wrote the truth about Negroes are mostly Negroes. There are a few white who have given un- biased opinions about the Ne gro. You will find that many historical facts are brought out at such programs. It is for us who are not familiar with the facts of our race to attend this program and try to make 1t a success.
 The ability of Negroes to ap- ply themselve to the study of the finer arts and sciences when they are beset with all sorts of difficulties is most significant. Oppression does not alway crush the spirit of progress. Men will achieve in spite of it. Wrong impressions are not so easily removed; and in the long run, there is not much discrim- ination against superior talent. It constrains man to recognize it regardless of other consider ation.

SOUTH CAROLINA By Charles c. Garvin

So. Carolina which is ranked thirty-ffth in the rating of edu- cation by states in Look Maga- zine recently has again entered the limelight. It is very pecul- far how our southern neighbors act. After having gone six year without a lynching, the blood-thirsty South Carolina took over and the result was the death of a Negro, Willie Earl in Pickins county near Green vile.
 It is strange how these un- trained inhuman southerners act. Monday, Febuary IT was the beginning of National Bro therhood Week. This was ter rible blow to a wonderful ges- ture which men of all walks of life took part. Even though God made men different color He made all men with a heart. The desire to do good is never marred by the difference in a man s race or religion. We are our brothers keeper. It is for us to try to live with all man kind, we can t live alone.
 South Carolina, like many other southern states, hash T reached the stage of civilization where it s white citizens will ac. cep a man as a man for what he Is and has to offer rather than his color. I find that the dual school system has done more to retard the understanding be. tween the two races in the south.
 The Palmetto Leader, a week. ly, published in Columbia, So Carolina, carried a story by the Associated Negro Press in its January 18th issue which show ed the comparison of the south ern teachers. The (ANP) stated that the white teachers in South Carolina deceive $12O3 a year This amount is the average The average Negro teacher earns only $615 a year. This is one great reason why this state rates so low in its educational endeavor.

southern officials then stated that they and the members of the teams did not object but there were laws prohibiting competition between white members and those of another race meaning Negroes.
 So the tournament will be played between the teams in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York, without either Balti- more or Washington.

The subcommittee was said to
have Topped approximately $780,

Drive to Emburruss

Committee Charged
By J. A. O'Leory

TWO Republicans accused
Democratic department heads of
carrying on a concerted drive to
embarrass the House Appropria-
tons Committee as the battle of
the budget fiared to fever heat
today.
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee and Rep
resentative Stefan of Nebraska, vet
eran COP member of the commit
tee. struck back at protests voiced
yesterday by Secretary OF State
Marshall and Secretary of Com
merce Hartman over cuts recon-
mended in their departments for
the coming year.
At the same time. Chairman
Bridges OF the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee drew from the
Post Office Department an admis-
SIGN that some of its field officials
nave gone too far in attempting to
anticipate the effect of the economy
drive.
Budget Reduced % Per Cent.
ut makes no difference whether
the cuts are cents or a million
dollars, the screams are Just as
loud" observed Mr.. Stefan, under
whose direction the budget for the
State, Commerce and Justice De-
partments was reduced % per cent
this week.
Backing up the Nebraskan, Mr..
Taber called the departmental COM
plants the "chairbottomers and
loafers." Both House members de-
MED the reductions recommended
would seriously impair any essential
activity.
This verbal volley from the Capt.
tol came after the following down.
town developments yesterday:
Secretary Marshall told his news
conference he finds the proposed
cuts in State Department opera
tons very embarrassing in his
to promote peace.
Secretary Hartman informed
neWsmen scores of Federal airport
projects in the 48 States will have
TO be dropped or curtailed if the
senate upholds House reductions inI
his estimates.
