| had to teach it about race with
out giving it a sense of inferior
ity.
One of the first things he saw
was the case of a mother having
to break up a young friendship
between her little girl and a lit
tie white girl.
1t seems that the two children
met going to and from school
one to a white school and the
other to a colored. One day the
little white child followed the
Negro home. The mother had to
work fast in order to send the
white child home and explain the
"racial facts of life" to her own
little daughter. She even had to
tell her child that her little white
friend could never come there
again.
In most southern cities except
Atlanta, he learned, colored wo-
men may not try on a dress be-
fore they buy it whether it be a
dollar frock of a 5000 ensemble.
aBltimore, he learned, is the most
insulting city to colored patrons.

If a woman touches a dress there
she buys it automatically.
Speaking in this line, he re-
called the time when Roland Hay
es was nearly beaten to death in
Rome, Ga, because his wife had
refused to go to the rear of a
shoe store there.
Another inconvenience for Ne
groes in the south Sprigle report
ed, is believe it or not, the tele-
phone. This stems from the fact
that although whites will address
Negroes as doctor" professor
or counsellor" they would never
stoop to addressing a colored per-
son as "Mr. or Mrs."
A telephone operator will never
call a collered woman "Mrs." if
she knows it. In one city, though,
Negroes do get normal telephone
service. This city is Atlanta.

with rebuff and insult when he
seeks service at hotels and rest
aurants. But at least in states
like Pennsylvania and others, he
can take his case to court and
he invariably wins. But in the
south he is barred by law from
white hotels and restaurants"
The Pulitzer prize winner wrote
that in cases of race riots in the
north both races are punished,
but in the south "only the black
ones climb the steps to a gallows
or serve terms in a cell.
In short, discrimination against
the Negro in the North is usually
in defiance of the law. In the
south it is enforced and main
tanned by the law.
The writer was first indoctrin-
ated into the jimcrow pattern
when he took the segregated
coach on a southern train from
Washington, D. c., He spoke of
the excellent service he received
in the diner in the segregated
seton behind the jimcrow curtain
of course.
On the train, however, he wrote
he began to undergo a change in
thinking. He began to think like
a black man instead of a white.
Speaking of his change in
thinking, Sprigle wrote:
"Already I was in the pattern.
Already l was experiencing the
thing that was to grow upon me
through the succeeding weeks.
These whites already were a peo-
pie entirely alien to me, a peo-
pie set far apart from me and
my world.
ALREADY l had begun to dis
like them. 1t did no good to tell
myself that I was white-or that
l would be white again four weeks
hence. l was beginning to think
like a black man.
'To tell the truth | doubt if
l ever will regain the satisfied
superior white psychology that l
took south with me-"
In Atlanta he learned early
that the colored mother not only
must teach her child a set of facts
about the world at large, but she

There is a story behind the
Atlanta situation, Sprigle reveal
ed in his article.
A Tuskegee purchasing agent
tried to call his wife from Atlanta
one night, and put it in for Mrs.
Morgan"
The operator asked him for her
first name. He answered that
there was only one Mrs. Morgan
there. If she would ask for Mrs.
Morgan she would get the right
one.
Getting no satisfactory answer,
the irate operator said, "But
she's a niger, amt she? Do you
think Pm going to say Mrs. to
nigger?"
The agent reported the Incl
dent the next day to the telephone
company manager. The operator
was called in and then fired. Mr..

Mr.. Adamic said his views were

Louis F. Budenz, former editor of
the Communist Daily Worker, who
renounced communism about two
years ago, told a Senate committee
Monday that he had sought to in

Now an assistant professor OF
economics at Fordham University,
Mr.. Budenz told the committee that
Il had been appointed to corrupt
him politically"
Mr.. Adamic said in statement
that Mr.. Budenzs assignment may
be true for all l know: but, if so,
Budenz's work as corruptionist as
signed to do job on me was
superfiuous.
He said he was in touch with Mr..
Budenz in 1912 and later when I
sought material" for MY Native

paper which had full texts of CYugo-

War
Seen in Kashmir Clash
Ru the Associnted pLasl

NEW DELHI, Ind, Aug. 4.-The
fighting over kashmir appeared to-
day to have turned into an poem,
though undeclared. war between the
dominions of India and Paklstan.
A statement that Pakistan troops
are fighting Indian forces in kash-
mir was published Saturday in the
civil and military gazette Of Lahore,
Pakistan. Up to now, no one in
authority in Pakistan has denied
the statement.
In this capital, that is held by
Indians to be an acknowledgment
of what Indian officials have claim
ed all along If true, it means that
wnat could be comfortably looked
on in the past as struggle by In
dia to clear raiders from a state
whose ruler has acceded it to In
dia must now be viewed in much
more serious light.
A new feeling of tension Is evil
dent among the people here. News
papers are beginning to voice fear
that hostilities in the northern
province may spread beyond Kash-
Mrs borders. One paper suggested
the possibility of cutting Indian
PakiStan economic ties.

Rosiko Schwinmer Dies at 20;
Was Denied u. S. Citizenship
Peace Ship Becker
Was Pucifist and
Feminist Leader
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Rosika
Schwimmer, 10, whose lifelong
fight against war had brought
her the nominations of five ma
tions for this years Nobel Peace
Prize, died yesterday.
A leader of the feminist move
ment in her youth and more re-
Gently active in the world govern
ment movement. she was a backer
of Henry Ford's ill-fated Peace
Ship" to Europe in 1915.
In 1929, when she was past 50,
she was denied American cltl-
zenship because of her refusal
to promise to bear arms in defense
of the United States. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court ana
inspired a famous dissent by the
late Justice Holmes.
Born in Budapest OF Jewish par
ents, she began her career as
journalist, and had been long active
in peace and feminist organizations
in Hungary when, in 1913, she or
ganized the International Woman
Suffrage Congress in Budapest.
She had lectured and visited nigh
officials in this country, promoting
a plan for continuous mediation
to stop the European war, when she
went to Mr.. Ford with the Peace
Ship plan.
Returning to Hungary, she was
named in 1918 as Minister to Swift
zerland under Count Michael ka-
rolyi's government and became the
first woman envoy of that rank In
history.
Justice Holmes. in his dissent from
the decision denying her citizenship,
called her "a woman of superior
character and intelligence, obviously
more than ordinarily desirable as a
citizen
He held that the constitutional
principle of freedom of thought
should have decided the case.
Mrs. Schwimmer remained in the
United States as an alien resident.
Her case led to attempts In Con-
gress to amend the naturalization
laws. Although these failed, finally
in 1946 the Supreme Court reversed
the decision, permitting naturaliza-
ton of a religious conscientious
objector who refused to bear arms.
