THE BELL TOLLS
BY LEONARD n. BELL

The witch hunt in the u. S.
progresses in leaps and bounds.
as election time draws nearer.
But the coming of election time
alone, is not the only reason
that the label of communist"
is given every true liberal, every
progressive Negro, and every in
ter-racial organization of siren
No. The other reasons are in
dustrial and political. Industrial
in the East, where the most
barons continually press for
complete control OF the Nations
STRUGGLING masses.
The Rooseveltian era is still
thorn in their royal side, since
during this period, the common
man, white or black, made more
real progress than ever before
in the history OF the country.
Politically, the South, because
of its industrial poverty and the
death-like grip held onto it by
both industrialists and bigoted
demagogues, too rides with the
hounds.
Stark evidence Of this is to be-
seen in the recent democracy
killing action of both Senate Re-
publicans and Democrats in kill
ing the non-bias amendment tO
the Draft Bill.
Can Philip Randolph and
countless other Negro Americans
be blamed for refusing to fight
under such conditions?
The witch hunt has quite sue
ceeded in starting the hitherto
strong labor unions on the road
to rapid decay, through name

COURAGEOUS AND
AUDACiOUS LEADERSHIP

~ EEH6-ihotiiE
Some few years ago, in a deep
South city, two young white
Baptist ministerial students at a
denominatioal college for whites
who had been attending noon
day services at a most fashion
able Negro Baptist church, went
; to their white pastor who hap
pens to be an outstanding leader
in the southern church circles,
and informed him that the spirit
of God had director them to-
join the so-called Negro Baptist
church. as a means of doing away
with racial barriers within the
church, making the brotherhood
of man a reality and Fastening
the day that the Welcome sign
outside all churches will mean
welcome to al THAT labor and
we are heavily burdened, regard
less to race-here you will find
rest for your tired souls"
TIL white pastor listened with
patience and alarm at the rev.

VITO young Write ministers upon
whom God had laid his hands.
He told them he would contact
the Negro minister and make
known to him the intentions of
the young men. Accordingly, he
phoned the minister that he
would like to see him in his

the Negro church were poened
on the FOLLOWING Sunday. they

and that hesired to know his re-

the position that was not the
thing to do; that it would do
more harm than good, set in mo-

eventually weaken the white and

Flremen Over Top In Dance f0r Funds

With incomplete returns from the annual Hard Times Dance in hand, the Seward Volunteer Bremen an- nOunced late last night that the Fire Department had cleared at least 5000. which will be sufficient to clear all debts.
 The dance itself was a colorful event keynoted by unusually good music. There were enough slow rhythm numbers adn waltzes to give the older bones a break, and enough lively tunes to satisfy the more Timber legs.
 Most people got into the spirit of the hard times affair by wear ing old and patched clothing, and there were large number of inter- esting and spectacular costumes in the great throng of dancers
 First prize was won by MT. and Mrs. John Penrose and no one present had been able to recognize them before their masks were re- moved. MT. Penrose had a monkey suit with fitted rubber monkey mask, while Mrs. Penrose, also masked and in costume. acted as the keeper and kept him on the end ofAas string.

Census Bureau To Be Brought Ub-tO-Date

A map of Seward was received from the Bureau of Census at the city hall this week. According to council members, the map was made before the year 1916, and shows very little of what consti- tutes the present city.
 The Bureau of Census requested that corrections be made to show any changes in the city. One glance at the map shows that the only way to show the change is to send one of the new maps that Bill Estes has made.
 The map will be used by the Bureau of Census to compile the National Census of 1850, which will begin in Alaska in l949.
 The Seward City Council has been considering census of the city, but has decided to pass it up now that the national census will be taken so soon.

 The casket had been removed from the Seward Undertaking Company building, and was reg ular baby-sized casket.
 Seward police reported Tuesday that they had discovered the pranksters, but in view of the fact that they were all children with out previous complaints against them, they will be dismissed.

Beating Communists
Washington Post)

Some practical instruction in dealing with Com murists offered in recent issue of Golfers Maga zine by young man, Walter P. Reuther who has had wealth of successful experience in the field MT Reuther it will be remembered, emerged undsputed head of the powerful UAW-CIO after a bitter pre- convention campaign in which Communist clements within the union made him the target of unbrdled smear attack He had much to do with leading the auto workers into an adult effective support of American foreign policy the Marshall Plan in par ticular. The story of how the Commies beaten in the JAW reads, MT Reuther puts it with justi liable pride almost like the report of experiment in creative democracy, and provides demonstration techniques which be applied in the larger strug gle to democracy in the world
 MT. Reuther has no easy formula He advocates alertness, education and above all the momentum of positive democratic program" Exposure of Ccm- munists, in his view, is great deal effective than repression. You can't beat communism" he says "by throwing embarrassing questions witnesses in Congressional hearing You can't slug it to death with club slogan. You can't burn it at the stake You have to show it in the market place of ideas expose it by honest dealing. Communism breeds hunger poverty, human insecurity"
 MT. Reuther won his victory where it really counts It is at the grass roots that communism be checked. The Commies themselves have always understood the importance of the labor union ment for their and their objectives. The pro- ponents of democracy must understand this too leaders of industry no less than leaders of labor. Communism won't be overcome by legislation by police persecution There are quack cures for com munism,' Mir Reuther Hitler cured it by killing the limited democracy of the Welar Republic Mussoini stepped it by throttng Italian freedom" Tn the United States let hope, shall do it by simple application of the democratic process.
