COP DELEGATES
WERE EMBARRASSED
BY WILLIAM o'sHIELDs

PHILADELPHIA - amp = I
think the COP conventions most
embarrassing event started Tues
day when some 30 pickets led by
A. Philip Randolph and Oscar
Brown marched in a circle around
Philadelphia's famous Convention
Hall, where the Republicans
picked their presidential candi-
date.
Each picket carried a hurriedly
printed sign with words, know,
they we're face-reddening to the
dyed-in-the-wool Republicans.
Many of the signs were In
scribed with the following: I'VE
want race equality" Republican
shutdown strike on civil rights"
''If we must die, let us die as
free men," Republican Congress
aids Communism by fostering
Jim-Crow army" 1.-THE elephant is
afraid of race prejudice" and mo
first class dying for second class
citizenship"
After had stood there for a
few minutes watching the situa-
ton as whole, finally narrowed
my focus down to individuals. The
amazement with which the dele
gates and visitors entering Con-
vention Hall reacted to the signs
carried by an interracial group of
pickets could not be hidden. It
showed not only on their faces,
but in their actions as well. Many
stopped to read all the signs as
the pickets passed them, while
others clumsily felt their way up
the steps and through the doors
still glancing backward as IL to
say, 'ewell, I'll be damned"
I inched myself close up to a
fellow from Texas to listen to
what he was saying to his fellow
conventioner. Il say Texas be-
cause he had on one of those
Stetson Three X Beaver hats. He
could have come from Mississippi
or California, but let US say
Texas just the same for he had
all the earmarks of a Texan.) The
conversation went something like
this in brogue to go along with
the hat: well, sir, I wonder
why the police don't stop 'em. I
know what we would do where I
come from"
His friend disgustedly said,
you know, John, you are up
north now"
Then John and his friend, like
hundreds of other COP conven-
tion-goers turned and reluctantly
went into the large lobby leading
onto the convention hall floor.
Those pickets and the signs they

For Henry Wallace

GREENSBORO, N. CAMP
Paul Robson sang and spoke
for Henry A. Wallace for presi-
dent last week in a Greensboro
third party rally. Other leading
speakers at t h e meeting were
Clark Foreman of Washington,
treasurer of the new party; Mary
Price, chairman of the North Car
olin third party, and Harvey
Cox, local chairman.
Robson sang five songs, in
Guiding Marching On With Hen
ry Wallace" to the tune of "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
DR.. Clark told the group that
neither of the two major parties
was interested in civil rights. He
said that the third party was "the
only hope for the South-white
and colored."

CONGRESS OF
RACIAL EQUALITY

The. civil disobedienee move
ment against Jim Grow in mill
tary service and training was en-
dorsed by the national convention
of the Congress of Racial Equality
in its sessions at Camp Sharpe,
Ohio, June 1920.
The resolution of endorsement
urged the members of the local
Committees of Racial Equality to
help the Committee Against Jim
Grow in Military Training and
Service to build the civil disobed-
fence movement into mass
movement and extend its activ-
tiles to other fields of discrimina-
ton. The convention commended
A. Philip Randolp, Grant Rey-
nolds and other leaders of the
movement for building 1t on an
inter-racial baSis. The resolution
urged that the local committees
seek the support of the organ
lied labor movement and other
civic and religious organizations
in the civil disobedience move
ment against segregation in the
armed forces. While endorsing
and urging support for the civil
disobedience movement against
Jim Grow in the armed forces,
the convention reaffiremed the
the position of CORE in opposi-
ton to any peace time draft.
The convention decided to APP
ply for a copyright of the name
Congress of Racial Equality,
Committee of Racial Equality and
their abbreviation CORE in order
to prevent its use by any groups
not adhering to the policy OF nom
violent direct action.
The convention after thorough
discussion decided to continue its
present policy of being a national
federation of locally autonomous
groups committed to the policy of
crashing the color line through
methods of direct non-violent di-
rect action on an interracial
basis.

Mitchell May Enter Race
To Succeed Gov. Wallgren

Ex-senator Hugh b. Mitchell in
dicated this week he might run
for governor If Gov. Mon c. Wall
gren gets the Democratic nomina
tion for Vice President.
A move to draft Mitchell gained
impetus as Governor Wallgren's
chances for the nomination were
improved when the Republicans
picked Gov. Earl Warren of Cali,
fornia, for second place on their
ticket.
Many observers feel that the
Democrats will attempt to counter
Warren's nomination by nominal
ing Westerner to run with
President Truman. Governor Wall
gren, a close friend of Mr.. Tru-
mans, is considered the most
likely candfdate--if the Democrats
settle for a Westerner.
WaIIgren Would Accept
The governor has announced he
is a candidate for reelection but
would accept the nomination for
Vice President.
The move for Mitchell began to
jell when Pierce County Demo
Gratis, including Burton Lyons,
Tacoma attorney, wrote Mitchell
urging him to run.
Mitchell said he had not yet
received the letter, but that he
had been approached unofficially
by other groups and urged to run
liz Wallgren becomes Mr.. Tru
mans running mate
Decision After Convention
81 want to consider seriously
this possibility" Mitchell said. "oi
course, l would not decide until
after the convention"
Mitchell is a delegate-at-large to
the convention and is also a mem.
Der of the committee which will
draft the Democratic platform. He
was Wallgren's secretary when
the governor was a Congressman
and later when he was senator
Wallgren named Mitchell to finish
his Senate term when he was
elected governor in 1914. and
Mitchell was defeated by Senator
Harry Cain of Tacoma. in 1916
Mitchell is now a public-relations
Executive here.
The former senator has been
urged by local members of the
Americans for Democratic Action
to run for Congress from the First
| District.

The President recommend
ed the Congress to take action
on certain other important
measures, including equip
ment to aid in education. He
pointed to the deplorable sit
uation of the men and women
who teach, whom he said are
victims of initiation. Teachers
salaries have Jagged far be-
hind and he mentioned over
crowded schools. He next urg-
ed a minimum wage law, an
increase in old age retirement
benefits and lowering the age
limit for women to receive
benefits.
The displaced persons Act,
should be promtly changed so
as to admit at least 400, 900 per-
sons over a four-year period
outside the immigration quota
and without the discrimina-
ting features. He called for APP

other recommendations Presi-
dent Truman referred to the
civil rights program in which
he said he believes it is neces-
sary to enact laws in order to
make guarantees of the consti-
tuition necessary to carry our
ideas of liberty and justice

He recommended the repeal
Of the Taft-Hartly law, and
hoped that the American
people will not look to US in

loud applause). The 81st Con-
gress will not get underway
for nearly six months and be-
fore they could get underway
to draft bills, put it in, hold
hearings and debates it would
take at least 5 months, and 8
months more of initiation
would be much too long to
wait. Mr.. Truman pointed out
that he had already recon-
mended such legislation and
if it had been enacted we
would have had lower prices
today. This was greeted with
heavy applause.
Since last November prices
have gone even higher. Every
housewife knows food prices
rose. Month after month the
cost of clothing food and rent
keep going up. The cost of liv-
ing is higher than ever in the
nations history, he pointed
out. Then the President said
there is hardly a member of
the Congress who is a very
rich man and all you have to
do is go home and ask your
wife about the costs Of foods.
Prices are so high that fam
lies have been forced to spend
more than they earn. They
are not able to buy as much
as two years ago.
AS an example the Presi-
dent pointed to the recent in
crease in the price Of steel by
more than SO per ton. He then
recalled the arguments adj
vanced for the removal of
price controls, when the ar
gument was if they would on
ly take controls off prices
would go down. The result
shows this belief to be false.
Even with full employment
and full use of plant capacity
prices are still climbing faster
than production. We must at
tack initiation directly, he said.

hadn't seen my friend, Soc
rates GOldstein, for more than a
year. His real name, of course,
is not Socrates, but we call him
that because of his propensity for
deep thinking. At least, he does
lot of talking about deep things.
He gets more fun from talking
than the average person gets from
baseball game. -. :. :. -.
what are you doing now, Soc
rates ?" l asked.
"Me," he said, I'm leading the
greatest cause in history"
"There are great many great
causes" 1 replied. (Which one?"
Listen" he says, what kills
more people than anything else?
Cancer kills one out of seven,
heart disease one of five or some
thing like that, but do you know
how many people worry kills?
Listen, I'll tell you something,
worry kills two out of every One."

to free the world from worry" I
said. Haven't you taken on quite
a problem ?" I asked. "Worrying,"
1 said, "as far as my experience
goes, is a very deep-seated thing,
and once worrier, you are always
a worrier."
'If people had taken that point
of view," he replied, "there would
have been no progress, no civiliza-
ton, no atom bomb. Columbus
wouldn't have discovered COney

discovered his relatives"

Socrates, 81 don't expect to re-
move all worrying, but if 1 can
remove fifty percent then we can
still be thankful.

said to me, I worried about it,
but I can worry in one hour what
takes most people three
THAT'S my point" continued
Socrates. 81 am not so much
against worrying, as 1 am for
more efficient worrying. AS a
matter of fact there is a bit of
good in worrying. What is worry
ing? 1t is a kind of cloudy think
'ng. Now, if instead of clOudily
thinking, you will say, let me see,
1 will sit down or 1 will take a
walk and think this thing through,
then the worrying part of the
thinking will tend to disappear"
II think" continued Socrates,

time for cleaning out his worries

daily worrying schedule. At a
stipulated time, sit down and say
to yourself, now I am going to
