PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: remember the time
when down at Alcoan, over at
Jackson and Campbell College
here, at Tougaloo, and even Jiney
Woods, Prentiss, Utrca and Okol-
cna, baseball was one OF the chief
items of intrest, with some Of the
outstanding players of the nation
having been developed in the CO.
petition carried on between the
schools and colleges OF the state.
Just before the beginning Of the
War, Piney Woods developed
teams that became nationally
known, playink the best semi-pro
and Independent clubs, White and
Negro in all sections of the nation.
One thing that the average Far
fish Streeter Is dead set On rs his
opinion when boy graduates from
one of the state colleges he cant
do much more, outside Of teaching
school, and that as a sort Of a
makeshift, than Read and write,
which from the point of view Of
making money, fellow can do a.
bout as well or better after he
leaves the fifth grade. AS one fell
lom said, with respect to the do
ing better by the 5th grader, he
wont thik he knows and know that
he knows as the college graduate
and terefore wants to be proud
to go to work at something where
he can make some real money
with out title and a white collar.
Since all them are smart young
fellows is getting into Brig
League Base Ball. Parish Street
ers have been wondering why
they don't put baseball back in the
schools I mentioned. Since a Big
League Baseball player make up
to $4,000 per var, for about four
months work as the Great Babe
Rutr did in hrs heyday. We were
sitting around our fish and beer
iris past Saturday Nigrt wren
some body was discussing ire last
rome run hit by Jackie Robinson
when the subject comes up agarn
and one fellow says that Baseball
is just as good a trade as doctor
ing lawyering, or denisting or any
thin else, and then asked me why
they don't start back to playing
baseball at the Negro colleges
Since they are at the White Col
1eges and all 1 could say, is what
one college president told me,

He breaches the utopia Of Com
,,n1,,,ict nd Cnuief rule

He breaches the utopia Of Com
munist and Soviet rule.
But the city council of Berlin has
adopted a resolution Of mo con-
fidence" in the Soviet-installed
German police chief Of Berlin. More
than 5000 persons have disappear
ed from Berlin and the papers
have been full of critics of Russia
being kidnapped into the Soviet
sector of Berlin and never being
heard from again.
1t has been difficult for the French
Communists, too, to preach brother
hood and solidarity with Commun-
ist Russia. Particularly since the
U. S. S. R. snubbed French demands
for the Saar at the Moscow confer
ence.
Nor did Soviet insistence on heavy
reparations from Italy plus strong
support for Yugoslav demands for
Italian territory win friends and in
fuence Italians to the Communist
cause.
Some old-line German Commun-
lists have turned bitter against
eastern" Interpretation Of Com
munists dogma.
One recently said privately, What
we need is sort of national or at
the most sort of a Western European
Communist Party. Let Russia keep
her type of communism in the east. ;"
However, these old party followers,
who are few after Hitler's purges,
are slowly losing their influence in
party councils in Germany and are
being replaced by new" members
who look entirely and blindly to the
east for guidance.

Europe's Communists
Weakened bySoviet's S
Selfish Use Of Party
By Yves Gallagher
ssoeioted Press Foreign Correspondent

BERLIN, Dec. 5.-Because the
international solidarity Of the Com
munist party is vanishing under
the strain of national interests, the
beer and skittle" propaganda per-
iod for communism is passing in
Europe.
Old line Communists, particularly
In Germany, are becoming restive
with Moscow directives which ignore
national problems and place the
Soviet Unions interests above all
others.
It is apparent that the newly
formed Communist party Comm
form" is having great difficulty in
directing the Communist program
in Europe in single channel.
Before Hitler, the Communist party
in Germany was probably the most
potent Communist force in the
world outside of Russia. 1t sup
piled much of the brains and vigor
to the Communist movement In
Europe.
Prewar communism held itself
above national interests and borders
and appealed directly to the workers.
It held forth the hope that with
communism the workers Of all coun-
tries would unite and live in an in
ternational workers utopia.
The announced aims Of the Com
inform" are quite similar.
But consider the position of the
zealot German Communist trying to
win supporters.
He would like to make political
capital of the "capitalistic, imper-
ialistic" Anglo-American dismant-
ling program in Germany which,
In his words, "robs German workers
of a chance to make a living"
But his opponents merely point to
Eastern Germany which has been
swept as bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard by Communist Russia.
He breaches the creed Of Russia s
friendship for Germany.
But Russia admits having nearly a
million, and is generally believed to
have two million, German war
prisoners. Few have been returned
and those few in emaciated and
often tuberculose condition.
He denounces the imperialism" OF
the western countries.
But Russia alone is insisting Com
munist Poland have Germany's
eastern bread basket area from the
Oder River east.
He breaches friendship and soli-
darity with the Communists OF
France and denounces coal exports
which keeps German families cold
But the French Communists are
the leading exponents of demanding
more coal from Germany and more
reparations

kon-Tiki Raft's Sail
And Steering Oar Are
Ripped inSudden Gale
By Thor Heyerdohl
North Anerleon Newspaper Alliance

KON-TIKI RAFT EXPEDITION
AT SEA, July 22.-Delaye6-This
part of the Pacific seems to be full
of extremes. For days we have been
in low spirits because of the light
winds. Right now we could use a
few of them.
A gale came along this morning
and, in no time at all, our sail split
in two and the sea built up into
constantly breaking 20-foot waves.
The next thing to go-just when we
needed it most-was our long steer
ing oar. 1t split up the middle but
we've made emergency repairs by
splicing piece of hardwood along
it and it is now in operation again.
The gale has died down a little
but steady wind is continuing and
we are making good time in a strong
surface drift. Conditions are fine on
board. We had some excitement
when we harpooned and brought on
board fine 8-foot blue shark.
We can't estimate when we'll ar
rive in the Tuamotus-it's useless
because we are dependent on the
wind and we have no way of antici-
pating what it's going to do. If we
had, we would have taken down our
sail this morning.
We are about 200 miles from
Pukanllka the first island ue eypecf
to see. After IS days drifting from
Callao, Peru, we have come approx
mately 1000 miles.

cope with the nations pressing
economic problems. the Daily Mirror
urged him to resign today and sug-
gested that the rank and file OF the
Labor Party force him out II he
failed to do so.
The Mirror-a strong supporter
of labor-asserted that Mr.. Attlee
had devised a cabinet system which
merely passes the buck to govern
ment departments" and complained
that there Is no constant central
control of the government"
His cabinet should 60" the Mir
ror said editorially. $50 should Mr..
Attlee. The need for change
is obvious and urgent"
The responsibility for change,
the paper added, rests with the 800

Jap Deputy Premier
Again Emissions Asia
With Nippon Leader
By Roy Folk

North Amsrieen ksw.pap.. AIIIs.es
TOKYO. July 28.-Ths familia,
Japanese dream Of an Asia keyed
to leader race" In Japan has been
outlined for me by Deputy Prime
Minister Hitoshi Ashida. In An ex-
elusive interview here, the quiet,
Enghsh-speaking political figure-
whose cuff links bore the Emperof's
crest-described q voluntary peace
time version of Japan's recent
greater East Asia co-prosperity
sphere.
MIR. Ashida suggested that the
people Of the Far East form Q union
Of their own in the near future, and
then said. "At present, Japan will
accomplish her mission of civiliza-
ton and culture in Japan. Circum-
stances in the Far East now cannot
allow us to spread the culture over
Asia" He refused to elaborate on
these statements.
"Stabilizing Power"
Earlier, however. he had said that
I'm the near future Japan's neighbor
countries viii recognize her position"
as the "stabilizing power" in the
Far East.
Implied American support for this
Japanese role was sought through
Ashida's statement that after the
peace treaty Is signed-thus marking
"the liquidation of the war;" accord
ing to him-America will have to be
responsible for the security of Japan
if the United Nations can't do it.
Mr.. Ashida contended that under
present conditions "the yellow race
is committing suicide. Japan suffers
from the worst food shortage in its
history, China Is bleeding itself to
death and Korea is split in half"
Paying in Manufacturers.
Japan is currently fighting tooth
and nail to pay her reparations to
China in manufactured goods and
not with manufacturing plants with
which China could industrialize
itself.
Current debate in the Japanese
cabinet Is also aiming for Japan's
inclusion as a full and equal men,
ber of the United Nations. Since
most nations in the Far Eastern
Commission are unwilling to give up
complete control over Japan-even
after the signing Of the treaty-they
cannot see how a country without
sovereignty can occupy such a posi-
tion.
