New York Governor
Record On Civil
Rights Seen AS
Bringing Negro
Voters Back To
Republican Party
New Leadership Of
Party Seen Emerging
With Dewey
Nomination

PHILADELPHIA The success
sful cndidacy of Governor Thomas
E. Dewey for the Republican presi
Dental nomination has been almost
unanimously hailed by the Negro
COP leadership in every section of
the country. Although in the mi
tial stages of the ballots, the color
ed delegates followed their own
delegations for the most part. they
later expressed their qualification
upon the final selection of the
body.
Governor Dewey's ppeal to the
race political heads is based on his
record in New York, where he has
piled up significant record in
dealing with the minority groups
in the Empire State. Passage of
state FEPC bill, educational meas
ures, major appointments of the
administration headed by that of
Mrs. Bertha Diggs as Secretary of
Labor, Justice Francis Rivers to
the New York City Court, and
Judge Jane Bolin to the Domestic
Relations Court weigh heavily in
the favorable comment heard.
And while it is known that the
so-called cold Guard" Republicans
were actually backing the Taft
candidacy, many observers believe
that there will be a more progress
sive Negro leadership that will de-
velop during the campaign that
will more than adequately fill the
breach caused by previous defec-
lions of Negro voters from the
party.
Many COP Negro spokesman are
known to be favorable to the re-
placement of present National
Chairman B. Carroll Reece. Many
would like to see former Chair
man Herbert Brownell, of New
York, and one Dewey's campaign
managers accept the craftsmanship
1t is remembered that under Brown
ell. Valores j. Washington, the
first member of the race to be
given post at the Washington
headquarters, and member of the
Illinois Commerce Commission, was
named as Assistant to the Chair
man.

the city officials refused to grant

not give a speech, but merely sing,
and that the audience be segregat-

On informing the singer of the
requirements demanded by the
Durham officials, Robson, who at
that time had not known of the
happenings, maintained that un-
der such conditions he would not
appear in Durham as his policy
has always been to appear before
'non-segregated audiences.
Since that time, the committee
has changed the place of the af-
fair to Greensboro, N. c., for the

Dixie Solons WOOing
Powell Says Noted
Washington
Observer

WASHINGTON - That old saw
politics makes strange bedfel-
lows" is by now so corny that on
ly exceptional circumstances would
justify its resurrection in this cor
ner. These are exceptional circum-
stances: Says Len Graves, Jr.,
Washington Correspondent of the
Pittsburg Courier.
Congressman Adam C. Powell
and that unrecontructed race-bait-
er, Rep. John Rankin, agree on
something. They both opposed the
selective service BIZ and it was a
sight to see intensely race-con-
scious Adam Powell and Ku Klux-
er John Rankins voting consistent
ly the same way as the House bat
! tied over draft legislation last
week.
Incidentally, if you're one of
those persons who get pretty hot
in the collar when you hear of
some SANDER done your race by
the Dixie bloc of Negrophobes, it
would probably shock you to sit in
lthe House gallery and notice how
chummy the professional race
haters from Dixie are with Con-
gresham Powell. The gay back
slapping and friendly chatter is
reciprocated by New York's mill
tant Negro Congressman. Take
guys like Mississippi's John Bell
Williams, heir-apparent to the post
Rankin now holds, as No. l Sou
thern rabble-rouses, or South Car
olinas L. Mendel Rivers. Last
week they could scarcely control
their laughter over some comment
Brother Powell whispered to them
and vice versa.
Matter of fact, Brother Powell
gets along on very friendly terms
with all of these professional
white supremacists except Rankin.
Ditto Congressman William Daw-
sn' who is simply less obvious with
the camaraderie.... at least it APP
pears so from the vantage point of
gallery seat.
You might wonder how Negro
rights figure into this picture.
Don't worry. They don't. This is
politics, pure and simple. Everyone
says the things their constituents
wants to hear. And, here of late,
it's been a popular technique to
work out some angle on the Negro
problem as a method of killing
off or delaying some legislation
which some folks don't like.

Howard University
Urged To Open
ClasSrOOmS To
All Students
Embree Says
University Should
Cease Segregation

WASHlNGION, IL. u. - HOW
ard University should cease to be
a segregated Negro school and
open its classrooms to all students
on the sole basis of ability, Edwin
r. Embree, noted anthropologist
and president of the julius Rosen-
wald Fund, said here last week
after receiving an honorary Doc
tor of Laws degree from the uni
versity.
Urging "that Howard become a
truly national university" DR.. EN-
bree pointed out that the schools
charter does not in any way re-
strict the race, religion, or national
origin of students, faculties, or
trustees. He recalled that How
ards first faculty and all of its
earlier enrolment was white, and
that the schools founders had
never intended it to become racial
institution, created though it was
because of a special concern for
the freedman"
1t was understandable, DR.. En-
bree said, that Howard should be-
come segregate, because of finances
and prejudices, but added 1T is
time for Howard to fulfill It's
chartered purpose of higher edu-
cation not for Negro youth but tor
American youth" He noted that
only one-and-a-half percent OF its
5000 students today are non-Ne-
gro.
He acknowledged that this free
admission does not now exist
throughout the country" but also
declared that mo self-respectlng
college or university in the North
or West these days reject students
on the basis of creed or color" with
faculties undergoing veri-
table transformation.
"And within the past six years,
so of our most important colleges
and universities have appointed a
total of IS Negroes to their facul-
ties, most of them to regular, per-
manent posts.
Negroes who protest discriml-
nation sometimes are as guilty of
ii as their white. neighbors. SEINE
] Negro preachers have a vested in
terest in segregated housing.
Realtors, both white and Negro,
make easy money out of ghetto
housing. Some Negro teachers see
selfish benefit to themselves in
being assured positions in segre-
gated school system. ("
Concluding, DIR. Efbree glimpsed
the impressive prize that might be
reached if Howard should immed-
lately free itself from the notion
that it had to be a Negro univer-
sity: America needs a great ma
tional university. Almost every
enlightened nation has in its CAPT
tai city its capital university, the
capstone of the higher education
of all people. 1t is proper and
natural that Howard should
become the great national institu-
ton of America. 1t stands in
Americas capitol city. 1t has solid
standards of scholarship which in
many branches during recent years
have grown to high distinction. 1t
is the only university suppoNted by
the federal government by di-
rect Congressional appropriations.

Negroes Play
Important Roles At
Republican
Convention

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June 20
The importants with which Re-
publican Party Chieftians regard
the Negro vote was indicated dur
ing the Republican National Con-
vention which closed here Friday,
in the important roles played by
Negroes in what is often referred
to as the Worlds greatest man.
During the hearing of Contest
before the National Committee
which started Thursday, June II,
in the Contest for sAting the
Georgia delegation, circum-
stance which indicated the trend
of the Convention important speak
ers were Mrs. Alice B. Wallace,
and John Wesley Dobbs of opposing
delegations. In the North Carolina
Contest Mrs. Majestic Simknis was
one of the speakers for the dele
cation seated.
When the Contests finally reach
ed the Credentials Committee the
results were largely influenced by
the pressure of John T. Fisher, Of
Mississippi and Val J. Washington
of Illinois, the only Negro mem
bers of the Committee.
Regarded by all as among the
Convention highlights was tbs
speech to second the nomination OF
Senator Taft made by Col Roscoe
Corkling Simmons the able and
widely known orator of the Race
Rev. Arthur J. Payne( a Baptist
minister of Baltimore won high
praise for his speech to second the
nomination of Governor Dewey.
The third day of the Convention
was opened with prayer and invo-
cation by Bishop Shaw of the
Methodist Church.
The closing. and perhaps the
most significant role was the adj
dress by Hotln Reynolds, Nation
ally known Elk Leader on the
subject of the Negro position re-
garding Civil rights.

Mississippi Delegate I o National Republican
Convention Play Signi ficant Role In Dewey
Nomination
Seating OF Georgia ID elegates Starts
RandwagOn
Civil Rights Issue In S outh Top Concern
Of Negro Delegates

PHlLADEIFH1A' June "A -
The Negro issue in the South
played a major role in getting the
Dewey bandwagon rolling at the
Republican national convention
here, it was learned today.
1t was one of these unexpected
little things which often turn out
to be of crucial importance. Sen.
Taft was the victim and Gov.
Dewey the benefactor, but neither
was responsible for what happen
ed.
The Taft forces were carrying
befoEte the Credentials Committee
their appeal from a Republican
National Committee ruling to seat
a pro-Dewey group of Is Georgia
delegates instead of pro-Taft
slate.
The Taft forces had counted
noses and were confident The
Dewey people had their own esti-
mate and were worried. A defeat
in the Credential Committee would
have been disastrous to the bandt
wagon psychology which the Dew
ey crowd was pushing 1t also
would have forced them to take the
risky action of carrying the fight
to the convention floor where their
opponents would have ganged up
on them-as they were doing in the
Credential Committee.
The 50 members of the Creden-
tial Committee included two Ne
groes. Both were pro-Taft and
counted as sure votes for the pro-
Taft Georgia slate. Both repre-
sented states supporting the Ohio
Senator.
But both voted for the Dewey
slate and the Dewey forces won,
26 to "a. The two men, Valores }.
Washington of Illinois and John 7.
Risher of Mississippi, say their
vote was not directed against Mr..
Taft.
81 prefer not to discuss my vote"
said Mr.. Washington, now serving
his fourth term as a member of
the Illinois Commerce Commission
every time you have a fight
with your wife you don't sue for
divorce. This is a family affair and
want the Republican Party to
win"
He made it plain, however, that
he was swayed by the fact that
only six Credentials Committee
members out of II from the South
erners were voting for the Taft
group.
Gov. Dewey's attorney argued
before the Credentials Committee
that the pro-Taft group was close
" connected with Talmadge Demo-
Gratis in Georgia having been GER
titled as the legal delegation by the
Democratic Secretary of State.
Mr.. Risher said he voted on the
merits of the Civil Rights issue
and his decision just happened to
favor the Dewey group.
A major incident influencing the
two men. it was learned, was a
speech by a pro-Taft Southern
is reported to have defeated an
state member in which the speaker
elected officials in the South
nearly all of them Democrats and
many open advocates of "white
supremacy"
Thespeaker represented state
which sent an "all white" delega-
ton to the convention.
The Taft forces gave up the
Georgia fight after that two vote
defeat and the Dewey men were
able to claim they had beaten the
field because Stassen and Vanden-
berg supporters had joined with
Taft to beat Dewey.

House Of Delegates Vote Georgia Plan
COuntering Proposal From New York

CHICAGO, June 22-The Ameri-
can Medical Association refused
today to change its constitutional
regulations by which county medi-
cal associations throughout the
county exclude Negro physicians
from membership.
Exclusive from membership in
the ANA. automatically bars a
physician from being certified as
specialist by the various national
certifying boards.
Ignoring aresolution offered by
the New York State delegation
which sought to eliminate the bar
riers against Negro physicians
that exist in seventeen states and
the District of Columbia, the House
of Delegates of the A. NJ. A. &C
cepted unanimously a conter-reso-
luton proposed by the Georgia
delegation designed to strengthen
the right of the county associations
to limit membership.
The New York resolution, which
says that mo component society Of
the American Medical Association
shall exclude any qualified physi-
clan from its membership by rea-
son of race, color or creed" was
introduced yesterday and referred
to a special committee for action.
Because of the result of the vote
today on the condensation, it
was said that the New York reso-
luton may never reach the floor
for a vote.
In view of the unanimous ap-
proval given the Georgia resolu-
ton today it was agreed that even
if the New York proposal is placed
before the full House of delegates
of the association for a vote it is
doomed. Four years ago when a
similar effort was made, the House
of Delegates ruled it did not have
the authority to order county as
sociations to change their rules
and regulations regarding men,
bership.
As recommended by the Georgia
delegation, membership in the Am.
A. would be open only to those
qualified physicians who are active
members in their constituent as
-sociation Gas determined by their
constituent association. Prior to
adopting this change in the con-
stitution of the ANA, no men
ton was made of the rights to be
enjoyed in the selection of mem
bers by the association that make
up the national body.
Spokesman for the twenty-man
New York delegation who voted
for a resolution in direct conflict
with one it had introduced, ex-
planned the vote by saying they
merely had offered their resolution
because they had been instructed
to do so by the House of Delegates
of the Medical Societ yof the State
of New York.
