Mmc0W Made Pioneer Tests
of Wireless in Great Britain
In 1895, q young man from italy

In 1896, young man from Italy
reached England. His mind was
filled with a great idea-he was 60
ing to conquer space by sending mes
sages a long distance without wires
Many inventors and scientists had
failed in efforts to do this.
Guglielmo Marconi, son Of an
italian father and an Irish mother
was at this time barely %. The
year before he had worked with
crude instruments, trying to use the
Hertzian waves which a German
professor had proved could be
caught" after passing through the
air. On his fathers farm, near Bo-
logna, Italy, he had set up sending
and receiving sets and electric mes
sages had been sent without wires
from one side of a garden to the
other.
Wanted Better Wireless.
That feat by Marconi was not the
first of its kind. Morse in the
United States, Hughes in England,
and Lindsay in Scotland had sent
electric messages without wires for
short distances, but Marconi ex-
pected to improve on all that had
been done before.
Morse had made the telegraph
practical along wires: Marconi in
tended to make the wireless tele-
graph work. He even dreamed that
wireless message might some day
be sent from one side of the Allan
tic to the other!
Marconi lost little time in asking
for a British patent. Soon after
ward, he paid call on William
Preece. chief engineer of the Brit
iSh postal system. Preece, a kindly
man, said:
Il am glad that you have come
to tell me your ideas. I have per-
sonally made tests with the Hertzian
waves, and have met with some
slight success in sending messages

Governor, was the only State with
a local rent control act.
The conditions which would have
existed in New York City in the
absence of such statutory provi s.on
is of such that even the thought is
repulsive.
In the accomplishment Of What
he knew to be right, Cove NOR
Dewey has never sacrificed prin-
ciple on the altar Of politica ex-

his refusal to use for political pur-
poses the information showing ) ad-
ministrative blunders that could
have prevented Pearl Harbo1.
Assured Job Fairness
In 1915, after the most e,,haus-
tive investigation, Governor Dewey
sought and obtained the passage
of the Law Against Discrimination
in Employment, which declares
that the right of employment can
not be abridged by discrimination
because of race, creed, color or
national origin.
The opposition to it was strong
and bitter but the Governors only
though was that the law was nee
essary for the preserTat tion Of
American principles and to effec-
tuate a declaration already in the
Constitution of the State.
The law has worked quietly to
the satisfaction of all. It is nota-

The De7gey- Warren Ticket

and that civil rights for all citizens
is an essential part of what / re
ferred to in my first paragraph as
fundamental principles of Ameri7
can Democracy"
Third Party A Threat
Unlike in previous Presidential
years, the campaign is not limited
to the two old parties. The Pro-
gressive party, led by Henry A..
Wallace, presents a serious threat
to the two-party system and serves
as an effective medium through
which many Negroes, dissatisfied
with unperformed promises and
broken pledges, will register their
disapproval.
With many of the things for
which Mr.. Wallace stands am in
full accord. His courage and sin
cerity / do not question. His in
ability to put over any of the
measures he advocates is very
questionable. /, therefore, dismiss
him with respect and admiration.
Truman's Position
The reports of President Tru-
mans Committees on Civil Rights
and on Education, and the reaction
of the Southern Democrats have
focused the attention of the coun-
try and Of the world on the urgent
necessity to remove second-class
citizenship from our people.
AS a result Of this position taken
by Mr.. Truman he is threatened
with the loss Of some Southern
electoral votes. It is, therefore,
insisted by certain politicians that
the Negro is morally obligated to
vote for the candidates on the
Democratic ticket.
The Federal Security Admins
tration has gone so far as to state
that any Negro who does not vote
for Mr.. Truman is traitor to his
race. Of course, it is obvious that
such a statement is as unwise as
it is untrue.
Record Questionable
That credit is due Mr.. Truman
for his stand no one will deny.
Likewise, that an examination of
his record is in order no one should
deny. Let US, therefore, examine
the record.
Prior to his Inauguration as
Vice-President Of the United States,
Mr.. Truman served as United
States Senator from Missouri from
January, 1885, to January, 1915.
During these ten years I am un-
able to find one single instance in
which Mr.. Truman said one word
in favor Of legislation favorable to
Negroes.
1t is true that he never spoke
against such legislation so that his
attitude may be said to have been
one of passive neutrality.
Technical Votes Only
Unfortunately, with single ex-
ception, the Senate's votes on anti
lynching and anti-poll tax legisla-
tion were on procedural matters
The Omaha guide., 1948-10-03

AS an American citizen believing
in the fundamental principles of
American Democracy, am support
ing the Dewey Warren ticket in
the next Presidential election be-
cause believe that the interest
of the entire country will be best
served by the election Of this ticket.
There have been critic |
times in American history when
the life of our country was at
stake. Today the future of civili-
zation hangs in the balance. The
mantle of world leadership has
fallen on our shoulder. We are liv-
ing in an atomic age when the
science of mass destruction has
been developed to an unbelievable
degree.
Preparation is now being made
for World War III and the world
is still officially engaged in World
War ii. The world needs prepared,
experienced and consecrated lead
ership.
Domestic Problems Acute
On the domestic front problems
as important and pressing confront
the nation. The high cost of living,
imitation with all of its possible
consequences, class strife, racial
antagonism and numerous other
problems are all demanding imme-
diate solution.
While all of these and other do
mestic problems are pressing for
solution the youth of our country
are being required to register for
military service-three years after
we were led to believe that the war
was over.
The United States of America
needs prepared, experienced and
consecrated leadership.
Civil Rights At Stake
In arriving at my decision to
support the Republican ticket /
was not unmindful of the condi-
tions confronting my race in the
enjoyment of our rights as citizens.
I have resided and practiced law
in Southern State for the last
twenty years. I have served as
counsel in the Columbia (Tenn.)
race riot trials and several other
cases involving the rights of Ne
groes in the South.
AS Chairman of the Tennessee
State Conference and Nashville
Branch, NAACP, / have led the
local fights against the exclusion
of Negroes from jury service,
adoption of Meharry Medical Col
lege as a Southern Regional Insti-
tuition and matters of a similar
nature. I am, therefore, thoroughly
familiar with the denial Of and the
fight for civil rights.
/ am, however, unequivocally
committed to the proposition that
the welfare Of the entire nation is
the welfare of the Negro, that he
has no rights that conflict with the
rights Of other American citizens

what did the audience do when
you said you never paid a dollar
for vote?"
"Some Of them cheered, but Ps@-as
of them got up and left" +
The Omaha guide., 1948-10-03

However, in the only case in
which a vote on anti-poll tax was
taken-an act to exonerate all per-
sons in the armed forces from the
requirement of payment Of a poll
tax as a prerequisite for voting in
Federal elections - Senators Tru-
man and Barkley voted NAY"
On the other hand, two years
later, Senator Truman favored an
appropriation for F. E. p. C. when
Southern Democrats opposed it.
Real Views Exposed
On the editorial page of the
Washington Times-Herald Of Sep
tember IA, 1948, there appeared
what I consider as confirmation of
certain persistent rumors which
have never been denied. The article
is report of an interview of Sen
ator Truman by Morris and Grace
Milgram and reads, in part:
During our interview Truman
spoke frankly about Negroes. In
dependence, Mo-, is practically
Southern town, and as the Senator
talked his attitude seemed no worse
and probably much better than the
attitude Of most white men in this
section.
"He told US: Il don't believe in
social equality. l believe in equal
ity of opportunity. There never
will be social equality
Approves Jim Grow
"He informed us that Negroes
ARE not and never will be- served
in the restaurants and soda foun-
tains of Independence.
"He never has and never will
invite a Negro to his home for
dinner. Il reserve the right to
choose my guests he said. There
are lots Of whites, too, I've never
had to dinner and never would in
vite to my home
"He supports the segregated
schools required by law in Missouri
7. He stated that the educational
requirement for voting in Southern
Satisfactorily used to prevent
Negroes from voting-'was reason
able.'"
Prospects Doubtful
If, in the face Of this unsavory
record, we are to believe that, upon
being elevated to the Presidency
on the passing Of the late Presi-
dent, Mr.. Truman has seen the
light and is now ready to repent,
believe and be converted, am still
unsatisfied that Mr.. Truman can
or will be able to transform his
civil rights program into legisla-
ton.
If Mr.. Truman, as commander
in-chief of the armed forces, will
not abolish segregation in the
armed forces; if Mr.. Truman, as
President of the United States and
titular head of his party that was
in control Of the 10Th Congress,
could not ge any Of his program
enacted; if, as President Truman
now insists, the Republican 80th
Congress failed to enact the legis-
lation requested so that he cannot
get the necessary cooperation from
either Democratic or Republican
Congress, is it not obvious that the
election of Mr.. Truman will only
serve to make chaos more chaotic
and confusion more confounded?
Dewey's Record
/ am supporting Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey on his record. am sup
porting Governor Dewey because
he is intelligent, he is courageous,
he is honest and he knows how to
work with people.
In the State of New York, Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans,
friends and foes alike, all agree
that Governor Dewey's administra-
ton has been one of if not the
most constructive in any State gov
ernment within recent years. There
| is not a man, woman or child in
the State whose lot and chances in

bic example Of progress in human
relations. 1t was done without noise
and fanfare. BY their deeds, noa
by their words, ye shall know thena.
Believes In Merit
When, in obedience to public de-
mand, Mr.. Dewey was appointed
special prosecutor his first act was
to select a staff that could do the
job. In making his selection he
ignored questions Of sex and race
and one Of his first appointees was
Mrs. Eunice III. Carter.
Since that time Governor Dewey
has consistently recognized the
citizens of his State without regard
to race by appointing them to high
public Office. Today more than
thirty members Of the Negro race
hold top positions in the State Of
New York, and hundreds of others
are holding positions in every de-
partment of the State.
Fairness Evideft ~
Governor Dewey has hana0nstrat-
ed his belief in eauality of oppor-
tunity for III, regardless OF racial
90 national origin, not only by the
appointments that he has made but
also by his relationship with all of
the many groups in his State.
AS United States Attorney, as a
special prosecutor appointed by a
Democratic Governor in response
to public demand, as District At
torney and as Governor of the
most populous and most wealthy
State in the Union, Governor
Dewey has demonstrated his abil-
ity to get results.
This has been true because Mr..
Dewey does not believe that he
knows it all. He does not believe
that he can do it all. He selects
the best person for the job with
out regard to sex, race, religion or
national origin and, having made
his selection, he delegates the
authority.
For these reasons am support
ing and will vote for Thomas E.
Dewey for President Of the United
States Of America.

 The Soviet Union considers that the security council, by agree ing to put the Berlin question on is agenda, has violated the charter of the United Nations"
 Only Russia and the Soviet Uk- raine voted against discussing the Berlin crisis. A majority of seven affirmative votes was required. Vishinsky declared that the adop- tion of the agenda was a violation of the United Nations charter, spe- cl1lcally Of Article lO7.

WINSTON SALEM, N. c., Nov. 13.
I-Unbeaten Clemson threw back
stubborn Wake Forest today in a
21-14 thriller to register its seventh
straight victory.
The Tigers, in winning their
fourth straight Southern Confer
ence game, forged ahead twice in
the early going, only to have the
battling Deacons come back to tie
the score on each occasion.
Finally, early in the fourth quarter,
Fullback Fred Cone climaxed At
yard drive by bucking over from the

Teams Have Bowl Bids.
Clemson entered the game with
bids to the Texas Sun Bowl and
Jacksonville Fla) Gator Bowl
contests, but was committed to no
one, according to source close to
the school.
Wake Forest already has accepted
an invitation to the Birmingham
(Ala) Dixie Bowl contest.
Clemson's victory, the first in
seven years over Wake Forest, was
achieved before a sellout crowd of
20 900.
The Tigers scored twice in the
second period and bid for third

the half with Clemson a yard away
on second down.
Tailback Bobby Gage, who ran
