STATE CANCER
FUND MAY PASS
S150,OOO

Strong hope for surprising the
$l50,000 goal set for the Mississippi
DiWSion American Cancer Society
campaign for funds this month was
expressed today by DR.. Felix J. I'm
derwood, State Campaign Chairman.
Reports from counties thus far indi-
cate that the drive for this year has
been well planned and organized by
the local groups" said DR., Under
wood. Never before in the history
of the society have so many citizens
joined actively in the fight against
cancer.
ANY doubt that the goal would not
be reached has been diSpelled by the
many encouraging letters from county
chairman all over the state. The peo-
pie of Mississippi are accepting their
responsibility by joining in this fight
against the most feared of all dis
eases" DIR. Underwood declared.
DR.. Underwood praised the work
of the American Cancer Society when
he stated that with its program of
research, education, and service, this
organization is outstanding in the
nation in the fight to control cancer.
Approximately six millions dollars has
been allocated to concer research by
the American Cancer Society during
the past three ears.
Statistics have proved, said DR..
Underwood, that one out of every
three cancer deaths could be avoided
if treatment were sought early
enough. One of the aims of the Can
Ger Society is that Of informing the
public of the early signs and symp-
toms of cancer and the danger OF
delay when dealing with this disease.
DIR. Underwood urged the people
of Mississippi to continue their efforts
to conquer cancer by combing forces
to make this campaign the greatest

Nations Only
Negro Daily
List Opposition
To Wallace
Candidacy

Atlanta, Ca, April l9-(SpeciaD-
The Atlanta Daily World the only
Negro daily newspaper in the nation
last week listed its opposition to the
third party candidacy of Henry A.
Wallace.
In front page article the World
stated our opposition to Mr.. Wallace
is based on the following points: ID
On the basis of the record, a Third
party can't win = l948 This is a
crucial Year Negro can not
vast o, d wild goose chase.
This yes, above all, we must seek
unity and make every vote count.
% Mr.. Wallace deserted the party
that has done more to relieve our
condition in the South during the
past fifteen years than all previous
administrations since the time of Lin
coin up to 1888.
81 We believe his action is mott
waited primarily by his desire to en-
chance his own personal prestige and
powers plus a desire for revenge
against President Truman. He could
have helped us and his country more
by remaining in the Democrat party
and fighting for a liberal program
than withdrawing and possibly con-
tributing to the return of reactionary
control of the national government
"a We sincerely feel Mr.. Wallace 5
foreign policy stand of appeasement
will bring us to war rather than peace
"a thing the masses of people every
where desire. Chamberlain appeased
Hitler and we had to fight Appease
ment of Stain will also inevitably
lead us to war.
81 Mr.. Wallace has no power with
which to actually help the Negro
The name Wallace is too closely
linked with Russia and communism
of which we are opposed. His name
is liability and hindrance to Nc
gro advancement in the south. We
have enough problems now and don't
desire any dead weight on our hands.
(6) We are opposed to any Third
part movement which might tend to
divide our people and thereby reduce
our voting strength beyond the two
traditional major partieS-Democrats
and Republican. Only after we are
convened that there is no hope for
our people within either of these par
ties will consider any third party
(0 Indignation into one OF the ma
ior two parties that now have power
is the sensible courses for our people
to pursue.
~ We feel the influence of the
Wallace Third party movement may
have effect of contribution to a VIC
tory for the Talmadge forces in the
primary election in September. We
hope that the aTlmadge forces will
be defeated in the primary and then
we will not be confronted with the
question of what to do in the gen.
eral election this November But we
should not be required to cross that
bridge until we get to it.

GEORGIA REPUBLICAN LEADER
: CHARGED HOWARD WITH ACTIONS
AGAINST BEST INTEREST OF n E G.
ROES OF THE STATE
See Fight To Control Delegates To National
Convention

Atlanta, Ca, April 19-(SpeciaD-
John Wesley Dobbs, Georgia Negro
Republican leader, in a widely pub
lished open letter to Negro Citizens
of Georgia and to Georgia Republi-
cans in particular last week, chaged
Perry w. Howard Negro National
Republican Committeeman from Mis-
sissippi with aiding the Georgia Lilly
white organization headed by Roy
Foster, small town Georgia Mayor,
in its fight against the regular Repub-
hcan organization for control of the
Republican Party in the state.
Referring to the National Republic
can Committeeman from Mississippi
the Dobbs letter said the Lilly white
organization ''has secured the aid of
Honorable Perry w. Howard Negro
member of the7National Committee
from Mississippi, who sent letters,
made long distance telephone calls,
offers of trips to Washington, and
finally dispatched a Negro emissary
into Georgia to make personal calls
on Negro member Of the regular
(Tucker) organization in an effort to
lure these men and women away
from their fight for a Principle, and
their resentment of varied types of
insults. They have tried to create a
spirit of antagoniSm among the Ne
gro women members of the Tucker
by comparing ones
standard of intelligence and educa-
tional qualifications with those OF
other Negro women members OF the
They have sent men into
asking the sheriffs not to
allow the use of the courthouse to
persons other than those connected
with their faction.
They have been encouraged in the
creation of this confusion to some
extent by certain members of the Re
publican National Committee. But,
whatever recognition has been given
them in this connection has been
rivcn without a meeting of the full
committee.
The above mentioned incidents are
only some of the things that have
been done against the best interest
Ct the Negroes in this state. The
time has come when we must resent
insults, and lueave severely along
those who seek to diScredit us. 1t is
better not to participate than to have
to associate with those who ire in
sincere. Let us stop being used for
window dressing.
With the Lilly white group. while
not yet committed, is said to strongly
favor Governor Dewey of New York
Thus the fight has developed for con-
troll of the states delegates to the
Convention.
Political observers here pointed out
that the Lilly White organization has
already pledged its delegates to the
National Convention to Senator Rob-
ert A. Taft of Ohio.

VIM. Tucker, and which has been re-
peatedly recognized as the regular or
ganization by the National Committee

VOCATIONAL TRAINING DOESN'T
COST---|T PAYS, LEADER STATES

Vocational rehabilitation does
not cost--~it pays--according to
figures just released by DR.. Clyde
Hissong, director of the State De-
partment Of Education under
whose supervision this work is
done.
At the time the LAG disabled
persons who were rehabilitated
during the past year applied for
service, their average annual earn
ings amounted to $355,992. After
rehabilitation services were pro-
vided. their earnings increased to
$2,192,470.
Both the state and federal treas
uries contribute to the program
that makes people tax-producers
rather than taX-consumers. DR..
Hissong pointed out that while
Ohio ranks second among all the
states in wealth per capita its ex-
penditure for vocational rehabili-
tation is miserably low. 1t is
forty-third in this service.
Furthermore, said DR.. Hissong,
"when a breadwinner becomes dis
abled it often raises a relief prob
lem for him and his dependents.
From the viewpoint of the state
and federal treasures, and Of the
disabled person, experience has
demonstrated that the best as well
as the most economical approach
is an appropriate program of vo-
cational rehabilitation"
1t costs about $500 to keep a
disabled man or woman in depend
ency for one year. But the diff
ference between dependency care
and rehabilitation is this--the de,
tendency cost goes on year after
year. Through the state-federal
partnership program of rehabili-
tation the years of loss are stop
ped.
During the first six months of
l94S the Ohio Bureau of Vocation
al Rehabilition did the following
gave complete or partial vocational
training to 1858 disabled per-
sons; provided 447 surgical, hos
pital and medical services; author
