Stassen Decides To Enter Ohio for COP Support
(BY Jack Bell)

WASHINGTON, (P)-The deci- sion of Harold E. Stassen to take on Senator Robert A. Taft in the Ohioan's home state found Taft supporters ready today to force an even earlier test of sentiment for the Republican Presidential nom- ination.
 They disclosed plans to make an all-out race in Taft's behalf in the April l3 Nebraska free-for-all. That test comes three weeks ahead of the Ohio balloting which Stas- sen announced he will enter.
 Taft himself was silent on the Nebraska development, but he left no doubt that he welcomes the competition on his own grounds where, he insists, Stassen "has no chance for success"
 The former Minnesota governor said in his weekend announce ment that he has high regard for Taft and would have preferred the test to come in some other state.
 But" Stassen added, "the diff ferences between us on both for eign and domestic policy represent the major issues within the Re- publican party and before the country. It is important that the people have an opportunity to ex- press their views upon these poli- cies prior to the national conven- ton next June"
 In saying that Ohio afforded an opportunity for such a test, Stas- sen apparently had in mind that just bout everybody who amounts to anything in the COP Presidential contest is likely to find his name on the Nebraska preferential ballot.

FEC Hailed For
Its Stand On
Anti.Segregation

New York-The Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches of Christ in Am
erica was warmly praised this
week by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People for the Councils frontal
attack upon segregation in a
strong statement on human rights
at its recent biennial meeting in
Cincinnati.
In a telegram to Charles p
Taft retiring president of the F
coca, NAACP Secretary Walter
White congratulated the Council
on its magnificent, unequivocal
and heart warming stand against
segregation
Listing basic civil, social econ
omic and political rights which
should be available to all with
out discrimination as to race,
color, sex, birth, creed, or social
or economic status" the FCCA
statement declared.
Since these rights cannot be
obtained under a system of racial
segregation, the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Am
erica reaffirms its remuneration of
the pattern of segregation as I'M
necessary and undesirable, and a
violation of the gospel love and
human brotherhood AS proof of
their sincerity. the churches must
work for a non-segregated church
and non segregated society,"
In commenting on the Councils
action, Mr.. White declared, 1.-THE
courageous stand taken by this
influential church group repre-
sents one more step toward VIC
tory in the battle to break down
the barriers of segregation de-
priving millions Of Negro citizens
of their democratic rights and
privileges

obtained a million tons of scrap
at bargain prices that mean an

Editorial
Laws against hate mean
human dignity for all

The week before last Isaiah Nixon, 28-year- old
Negro sharecropper of Montgomery County, Ga,
was shot and killed by two white farmers few
hours after he had insisted on exercising his right
to cast ballot in the Georgia election. His was the
only ballot cast by Negro in a county where more
than 5000 Negroes live.
Last week Dr. w. E. B. Dubois, 80-year-old
founder of the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Coored People, was dismissed from
his post as research director of the NAACP after
he had charged that the association has tied itself
to "the reactionary, warmongering colonial i'm
periasm of the present (Truman) administration
DR.. Dubois has been active in support of Henry
Wallaces program for full and equal rights for the
Negro people.
Although they happened hundreds of miles apart,
these two incidents closely interviewer in
pattern of terrorism and intimidation that threatens
blot out the last sembance of democracy in
country.
TIE humble Negro sharecropper in Georgia and
the world-renowned historian and Negro leader in
New York both shared the fundamental idea that
human dignity demands that speak out for the
things in which they believe They both found that
the price of human dignity is high in the United
States today
The Truman loyalty purge, the whte-suprema-
cists, the House un-American committee, the pro-
fessional warmongers, and the paid-press propa-
gandists have cast the mask of fear demo-
cratic institutions. Too many and women have
found that their life their livelihood is the price
they must pay for human dignity.
And the price of human dignity will remain high
as long the American people-Negro and white,
city workers and farmers-permit themselves to be
mised by the promises of the lip-service liberals,
the INACTIONARIES who talk big and act not
at all.
Waace's trip through the South, where he spoke
only to unsegregated audiences, did more to pro-
mote human dignity and civil rights in two weeks
than the Truman promises cast a wind that is
scheduled to die on Nov. 2, will do
Truman has consistently bypassed the authority
he holds which could end segregation in the armed
forces and eliminate discrimination from depart
ments of the federal government But when it came
to action he knuckled under to his Secretary
OF the Army on the matter of segregation in the
Army He could have accomplished much, but all
he did was talk.
Human dignity will return to the American peo
pie when courage and conscience return to the
White House. Henry Wallace said it right when he
told Southern white-supremacist: eve know we
cannot legslate love. But we pass laws against
hate and for the dignity of the individual citizen"

HENRY WALLACE SAYS:
Truman can't deliver

f1AVE Sald, ana L say again,
l. that it is absolutely vital for
the security of these United
States that those corporations
which cannot exist by peacetime
production must be stopped from
lobbying for militarism. 1t is in
tolerable that the methods of
pork barrel politics should bring
the risk of war.
| stand for Government pur-
chase and operation of the mill
tary airplane industry, to take
the profits out of fear.
We read the headlines of war
tensions in Berlin. But we do
not always know the sources Of
that danger. One of them has
an address here in Baltimore
Number Ten Light Street. Num-
Der Ten Light is listed as the
corporate headquarters of the
Hugo SHINES Corporation. This
corporation controls seven billion
tons of Ruhr coal-as well as
Mr.. Hugo SHINES himself, the
German magnate after whom the
corporation is named.
The men of this corporation
profited from the building of the
Hitler war machine. Is it anv
wonder that they should try
again-that they should favor a
policy of rebuilding the Ruhr as
center of war industry, of re-
creating Germany run by mill
tarists and such men as SHINES,
Krupp, and Thyssen?
Is it any wonder that they
should seek influence in high
places to these ends?
THEY have it. Their man for
l. all practice al purposes
moved into the White House al
most the day after Roosevelt
died. Their Vice-President and
director, George E. Allen, is one
of Mr.. Truman's close personal
advisors.
What about this vested in
terest, Mr.. President? Do you
forget about George Allen when
you pose as the peoples cham
pion?
Mr.. President, you can pose,
but you can't deliver the goods.
Only the Progressive Party, a
peoples party, a party without
ties to monopoly can root out
and destroy these international
cartels. And they must be de-
stroyed if we are to build peace.
