MIR. TRUMAN
AND CONGRESS

"Mr Truman's administration
has not only kept us on the an
xious seat abroad but it has not
been able to bring us peace in
Washington.
The Congress the people cleo
ted in 1916, Mr.. Truman says, its
worst, save one, in the history
of the nation.
THAT Congress which he says
was the absolute worst was the
one we elected in 1866, following
the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Andrew johnson, Vice President,
succeeded Mr.. Lincoln.
"Mr. Truman should have
thought twice before he condem-
ned that Congress. 1t approved the
14th Amendment to the United
States Constitution which gave full
citizenship and equal rights to col
ored people.
1.-THE situation in 1866 offer q
deadly parallel to what we have
today.
Abraham Lincoln, a great wal
President, died as did Franklin d
Roosevelt.
History often repeats itself
The Vice President, Andrew John
son, like Mr.. Truman, disagreed
violently with Congress. In fact
Congress sought to impeach Mr.
Johnson. This year there was talk
also of impeaching Mr.. Truman.
Then came the election of 1858
exactly as we are now to have
an election in 1913. And the people
then reelected the Congress. They
declined even to renominate Presi
dent Johnson.
after all we voters choose both
the President and the Congress
We expect them to operate as q
team. When they quarrel like
alley cats the best thing to dc
is what we did in 186S-namely
put new man in the White
House."

for itself for the next four years

LARRY DOLBY
SPARKLES
WITH INDIANS

CLEVELAND-(kNP) - Rookie
world series player, Larry Dolby,
has been given an excellent ac-
count of himself. and his fans and
followers reasonable cause for
pride. The fleet centerfield of the
Cleveland Indians, playing his sec
ond season with the team but his
first in world series competition,
garnered four hits out of IL times
at bat, up to last Saturday, or an
average of 1854 for the first three
games.
In the first game played at Bos-
ton Wednesday, last week, he dis
played top form and less strain
than most of his teammates. Up
four times, he had one hit. The
Indians lost to the Braves, 10.
Saturday, in Cleveland, with a
crowd of more than $4,000 fans
present, Dolby smashed the first
home run of the series.
Dolby literally started the ball
rolling in the second game by
getting two hits in four trips to
the plate, scoring the second run
for the Indians. His double in the
second inning was the first extra
base hit made by any player In
the series up to that game.
He was also the first of the
Tribe to get two hits in series
game. He struck out on his last
two tries of that game.
Fridays game saw Larry still
holding out beautifully in center
field. In addition, he clouted one
hit out of three official times al
bat.
The largest corps of colored
sports writer's ever to cover a
series was in attendance at Cleve
land for the third game, including
two writers from Panama.

IGNORING LAWS BY STRIKERS
NO WAY TO WIN PUBLIC APPROVAL
By J. A. Jock johnson

The waterfront strike which has
changed the Pacific Coast into
practically a ghost coast as far as
shipping is concerned is fast be-
coming a matter of grave public
concern. Members of the en-
ployers association have refused
to deal with the striking unions
until union officials sign affidavits
as required under the Taft-Hartley
law, saying whether or not they
are Communists. Union leaders
come back with the argument that
the Taft-Hartley law is wrong be-
cause 1t imposes no such require
ment on the employers. There is
logic in their argument but it does
not change the law. The situa-
ton definitely gives the employers
the edge since the Taft-Hartley
law is the law of the land and
should be obeyed until it is
amended or repealed, thing not
likely to happen until far into
1949 even If then.
In the meantime a long winter
In ahead. debts and obligations,
not on strike are still going on
and many union members are
feeling the pinch. They are not
too keen and sympathetic with
the situation that has stopped all
negotiations toward a settlement
of the strike. Many of these
union members are race men
whom we have known for years,
men of families, honest, upright
citizens who deserve the right to
work and support their families.
They are beginning to wonder
why their leaders refuse to say
whether or not they are Commu-
nlStS since Jheir Telusdi " Obj
such affidavits has so far blocked
negotiations for settlement of the
strike? They can not quite see
why IL a man Is a Communist he
is reluctant to say yes. And ii not,
he is reluctant to say no. There
ORC two varv ohvi0ua reasons If
these leaders are Communists and
say so, they fear that the mem
bers will dethrone them and If
they say they are not, prosecution
for perjury may follow. 1t is
time for the members of these
unions to take charge of their own
affairs.

LET us LOOK AT THE RECORD:
PRENTS |. FRAZIER, COP. LEADER
DEWEY'S RECORD in N. Y. MATCHLESS

New York state, under Cover
nor Thomas e. Dewey, has enacted
the strongest of civil rights stat
utes of any state in the union.
When a Negroes rights are vio-
lated in New York, there is legal
redress on the law books. In ad-
dition, the New York Bill of
Rights covers practically every
area of human activity and pro-
vides for the safety and security
of minority groups.
The civil rights laws, enacted
in 1915 and signed by Governor
Dewey, prohibits discrimination on
account of race. creed, color or ma
tional origin in: alcoholic beverage
sale, jury panels, resorts, amuse-
ment parks, restaurants, inns,
hotels and places of public ac-
commodation. public utilities, en-
ployment, labor union membership,
civil service, public schools, prac-
tice of law, contracting for public
works, and employment by any
firm, corporation, or institution, or
by State, agency or political sub
division. In addition, the laws pro-
vide for equal protection for all
minorities.
ENACT FEPc
On March IL, 1915 the Ives
Quinn (FEPC) Bill was passed by
the General Assembly on recon-
mendation by a Statewide COM
mittee, including three Negroes,
and which investigated job dis
elimination. On July 1, 1916, the
State committee against discrimi-
nation, a permanent committee,
began work. The ban on discrimi-
nation applies alike to employers,
labor organizations, employment
agencies and other groups. This
includes big firms like the Tele-
phone Company and powerful

OVER THIlE
BACK FENCE
By MARGUERITE FINEFRocK

Hiya Neighbor-Say what you will
about the comic strips there
comes a time every now and then
when they are a boon to the toy
manufacturers. Take for instance
a number of years ago when the
Buck Rogers comic strip was the
delight of small boys who were
at the "shoot-'em dead" age. The
market was flooded with rocket
guns and space ships, gaudy in
color, and realistic enough to
transport a youngster to the 25th
century in practically no time at
all. F..
There have been Donald Ducks,
Orphan Annie dolls, Popeyes and
dozens of other comic strip char
acters that have appeared from
time to time, made Of cloth, plas-
tic, paper or what have you. One
of the more recent ones was the
Sparkle Plenty doll, an exact re-
plica Of the golden haired baby
that stepped up interest in the
Dick Tracy comic strip particular
o!qnd eql ueQm etu!l eql 4e Al
at large was on tenterhooks wait
ing for the offspring of B. o.
Plenty and Gertie Gravel to ar
rive.
But this year the "shmoos" are
captivating the public's interest
and if you haven't met up with
them your comic strip education
is not complete and you'll have to
start reading Lii Abner if you
want to make their acquaintance.
AS yet we haven't heard of any
toy "shmoos" being sold but we
read about a shipment of 100 plas-
tic shmoos that were being flown
to Berlin where they will be para
chuted from planes over that city
in areas where they will do the
most good. Any German who
finds one of these "parashmoop-
ers", as they're called, may trade
it in at a CARE office for a pack
age of food. Left over parash-
moopers will be filled with candy
and distributed to hospitals and
orphanages. ...

Mrs. Floyd Dibling is intereste

Mrs. Floyd Dibling is interested
in learning if there are any living
descendants of Eva Witte, here
abouts, who some so odd years ago
painted pictures either as pro-
fession or as a hobby. Mrs. Dib-
ling has in her possession large
oil painting which she recently ac-
quired at a sale of household goods
here in town and on it appears the
name, eva Witte, 1897. She has
a feeling that perhaps the woman
lived in this vicinity and that if
any of her descendants are living
they might, for sentimental reas-
ons, like to have the painting. So
if that name strikes a bell in your
memory call Mrs. Dibling at her
Sundial farm on Catawba and give
her what information you can.
