Poetic Streetcar Man

TO the Eoltor Oh 4oe otAt.
For several days we've missed our good
friend, Mr.. Moore, also known to many -
No. 1850 the poetic streetcar operator who
brings us down to Potomac Park from Mount
Pleasant.
This (Friday, April o. morning some one
finally broke down and asked No. 582. who Is
working his run, what had become Of him
and learned he is in sibley Memorial Hospital
where he presently is under medical observa-
ton preparatory to undergoing . serious bit
Of surgery.
All Of his friends on this trip wish him q
speedy recovery We all miss him and his
greeting that does 50 much to start US OF
daily on our way to work. Without that
CHEEKY hello" our day seems to have begun
the wrong way. MRS. JOHN G. SMITH.
Saws Franco Collaborated With u. S.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
May take the liberty Of correcting mis-
print in my letter entitled Franco Not tho
Only Collaboration" published in The Evening
Star on April 8? The last sentence should
read: And was not the collaboration in his
(Stalin's) natural alliance as Molotov termed
it, far more loyal than he has been willing to
accord to us?"
Frances bad" record of collaboration with
Hitler is often cited although Dr. Goebbels,
in his recently published personal and con-
ndential diary, heaps abuse on Frances head
for his utter failure" to collaborate.
Is there any good" record Of Frances col
laboration-with us, for instance?
As q matter Of fact, there Is such . record.
but it is little known and almost never cited,
namely, at the time of our military landings
In French Morocco, on November g. 1912. There
was great apprehension among our military
leaders lest Franco decide At that moment to
intervene In the war; either on behalf Of the
Axis or on his own in order to seize q part
Of the coveted French Protectorate. Concilia-
tory communications, couched In soothing Ian
guage, were addressed to Franco by our high
est authorities with view to reassuring him as
to our honorable intentions with respect to
him and persuading him not to intervene. He
decided not to intervene and We were grateful
for that decision w. s.. M.

Prefers Taft to Wallace
To the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
On April 8, Mrs. Harriet T. CTandall wrote
that she is going to vote for Henry Wallace
because he's not for war, and she is eligible
for the OAR, too. don't want war either.
and believe If our troops had not been hin
dered from crossing the Elbe River and enter
ing Berlin before Stain got there We would
not have to be talking Of another war now.
Mrs. Crandall says Mr.. Wallace Is not
Communist. No. he is not, but he has no OBJ
jections to their infiltration. Already one OF
the Wallace spokesmen, . former associate
counsel for the United Electrical Workers,
(CIO), at congressional hearing. has refused
to tell whether he himself is Communist or
not.
I'm eligible for the OAR also. but I'm
going to vote for Senator Taft because think
his philosophy Of government Is better for
us. However, fail to see what eligibility to
the OAR has to do with the matter OF
voting, MRS. D. N. HULF1SH.

rental fee on Montgomery Stadi-
um, scene of the Salad Bowl foot
ball game. The money already has

The money will probably be dis
tributed on a basis of city popula-

ship in each community, according
to Norman Hull, president of the
Phoenix KiWanis.
This action, Askins said, made it
even clearer the Salad Bowl is a

over the state Immediately rallied
behind the project following its an
nouncement.

Negro Frsternal and Secrete :
epidemic"
The American Negro, exposes
'gimlet' or 'ham-fat' brain when his
known circumspection of life is
prompted and stimulated with
view of mimicking or emulating
the satanic and pretensive acrobat
les Of the white races. 1t has never
occurred to the average Negro Git
crate or illiterate) that if A, re-:
ceived $500 per month while B, re-
ceives only $50 for the same period,
that B, can not afford the many
luxuries of life as that of A. Hense;
the Negro is eagerly and brainless-
ly, playing a game of catch up
with all odds against him. He (the
Negro) is an economic sycophant
and will remain as such, as long as
he makes futile efforts to carry the
same lousy, contemplate and use
less burden as his more fortunate
brother, the white races. Let the
seemingly, petite minded Negro,
come back to earth and remain just
long enaugh to cook square meal
and do some ineligible reasoning
of his own; free from the grovel-
ing, belly momentum, reptile and
nauseating snake poison of the
white races. Today, there are more
insincere and fraudulent fraternal,
secrete order, benevolent and social
'quacks' among Negroes than at
any other time. Is there any one
with the mentality of a circum-
cised eunuch, who feels that the
race, as a whole, has been benefit
ed therefrom? With the exception
of the truculent, autocratic poten-
tate and few of his 'grub-stake
hungry satellites or obsequious de-
pendents on public gimme just
where do the millions go and for
what purpose? It is these rattle
snake poison organizations, crimin-
any OOWA " O1NL
slaves by a deceptive race (white)
to keep the Negro groveling, for his
daily bread. With the exceptions of
the NAACP, and a few others;
none of these organized, fraudulent
and dollar snatching red neck in
trigues has proved serviceable to
our group (the Negro. None orig
mated, by, for nor with the Negro,
other than mentioned above. The
millions of dollars spent by Me-
| groes, annually, on these wild cat
puke, of degenerating race, could
be more profitably expended on
commercial enterprises in lieu of
Franks mite house "a breeding
place for criminal wharf rats and
certainly not conducive to our ed
ucated boys and girls. Otherwise,
there is little or no excuse for ed
ucating our youths beyond an ele-
mentary stage.

Expect Big Vote
In Virginia

RICHMOND, Va, April 8. GA
NP)-Virginia Negroes are ex-
pected to participate in larger
numbers in the local, state and
national elections this year as
never before since the best years
Of the Reconstruction period, ac-
cording to reports reaching the
capitol Of the Old Dominion.
Heavy registering is expected
in the next few weeks in such
politically awakening centers as
Petersburg, Newport News, Nor
folk, Roanoke, Suffolk, Danville
and Charlottesville. The candidacy
of Oliver w. Hill, who is run
ming for the city council here, is
sure to interest a large number
of Richmond Negroes in qualify
ing to vote.
Negro civic organizations all
over the state are pressing their
campaigns to get more Negroes
on the voters list. And Negro
candidates are being endorsed in
some cities to provide more incen-
tive for Negro voting. Certain
current issues, especially those
precipitated over President Tru-
mans civil rights program are in
creasing the Negroes interest in
voting in Virginia.

of the answers favored illegal"

The most striking think. Of this

is that they never should have

Born in Topeka, Kas., Mr.. Har-

his way through Harvard univer-

was persuaded to give it up by

him to take up journalism. AS a

Dayton has a Negro population
of close to 10000 out of nearly
100000 or roughly 10 per cent.
Yet of the 191 policemen six are
Negroes, and we have one fire in
spector out of the 246. That equals
about 3 per cent on the police
force and less than one-half per
cent on the fire force.
This is very lamentable, for we
should at least have representation
equal to the percentage in the
population. AS a matter of fact
we should have even more since
our low income and worst housing
status requires vi use of these
two forces more than any other
group, proportionately. The blame
for this condition can be laid on
many doorsteps. Job discrimina-
ton, of course, keeps Negroes out,
but SO does the lack Of interest

jobs.

own good the welfare of Wilber-

cision said evidence favored the

church to claim the property, since
