Jersey Natl
Guard 10 Defy
Army JimcrOw

Trenton, N. J. Feb. - Gov
ernor Alfred E. Driscoll issued
today a memorandum to Maj. Gen.
Clifford r. Powell, commander of
the New Jersey National Guard
in which the general was advis-
ed to ignore an order to the De-
partment of the Army that re-
quired the segregation Of whites
and Negroes in National Guard
units.
The Army order, issued on jan
uary % at Newark, to officers of
the Fiftieth Armored Division of
the Guard, was signed by Col.
Edward Wolf, chief of staff of
that division. 1t said that under
the present Department of the
Army policy, Negroes cannot be
enlisted in white unites.
The Governor said in his mo-
morandum that all state agen-
cies are required to observe the
letter and spirit of the Constit-
ution. This is for the fuidance of
your office
A clause in the bill of rights
in the new state constitution,
adopted last November, bars seq
regation 'in the militia or in the
public schools because of relig-
ious principles, race, color, ances-
try or national origin"
The Army order of Jan. % was
regarded in Newark as an indir-
ect reply to a previous inquiry
by Governor Driscoll, to James
Forrestal, Secretary of Defense,
as to whether the New Jersey
Guard would lose Federal recogn-
ition adm funds if 1t mixed units
in line with the new state Con-
stitution. Mr.. Forrestall referred
the matter to Kenneth G. Royal,
secretary of the Army.

Rehearing Ordered
In S. C. Vote Case

A rehearing of the George A.
Elmore VS. Clay Rice, ct al case
decided by U. S. District Court
Judge j. Waties Warning of
Charleston last summer and af-
firmed last month by the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals at Rich
mand, Vr., was back before the
Circuit Court early this week,
NAACP attorneys said.
The Circuit Court had agreed to
heat further contentious by at
torneys for the Richland county
Democrats named in the Elmore
action preparatory to an appeal to
the u. S. Supreme Court, to which
the Democratic executive commit
tee of the state voted two weeks
ago to take the case although obs
ervers predicted the Waring de-
cision will be upheld all the way.
RACE YET BARRED
simultaneously, the Circuit
granted mandate to the Demo-
Gratis under which Negroes are
not permitted to participate in
primaries until after the rehear-
ing has been heard and ruled
upon. NAACP attorneys said that
the issue would probably be set
tied and over within 80 days.
(The mandate" referred to is
similar to an Order of SuperceG-
as issued by District Court Judge
Geo. Bell Zimmerman following
the Waring decree and pending
Democratic appeal to the Circuit
Court. Such orders are discre-
tionary and are issued by courts
to insure judicial justice to all
parties involved
COLUMBIA BATTLE RACES
Meanwhile in columbia where
a municipal primary comes up
in either April or May, battle
boils between Democratic leaders
on the one hand and Negroes, on
the other. Democrats are in the
midst of raising $4,000 for the
primary which obviously, they ex-
pect and hope to keep nekroes
out of. On the other hand, Neg
roes, are raising fund with
which to pitch a hot legal battle,
a brand new suit, into the laps
of the city Democrats should they
Negroes be barred. $1O7.5O was
raised at the January meeting of
Columbia NAACP branch and sew
eral other organizations and in
dividuals are ready to sweel and
fund.

Maxine Czechs Red

Premier AntOnin Zapotocky'S initial ad-
dress to the Czech Parliament was frank, to
say the least. It announced unequivocally
that Czechoslovakia's whole economic lie,
agricultural as we'll as industrial, will be
reconstructed ito eliminate every vestige
Of the capitalistic system" And to imple-
ment this sweeping change, the Premier
went on to state that there would be
similar transformations in the army and
police forces, education, and the legal and
judicial system to wipe out the last traces
of 'capitalistic" law. The guiding principle
will be to bring everything Unto harmony"
with Soviet Russia and the other peoples
democratic states" wherewith Czechoslo-
vakias destiny is henceforth to be last
ingly co-ordinated.
Both the Premier and his legislature are
new creations of the Communist coup last
February. And since this Parliament con-
sists entirely of either avowed Communists
or subservient fellow-travelers used for
political window dressing, there can be no
doubt that the vote of confidence will be
granted him overwhelmingly after
farcical debate"
Czechoslovakia is thus officially pledged
to full-hedged communism of the Moscow
totalitarian brand. But how soon and to
what extent this program will be trans
lated into factual reality remains to be
seen. In the Czech people, communism
has tough job Of conversion ahead OF it.
The Czechs are traditionally an Individual
istic liberty loving folk. Furthermore, from
their earliest days, they have formed part
and parcel of Western civilization and its
culture. Lastly, they are past masters at
the art OF maintaining their identity and
ideals against alien domination. All this
makes it virtually certain that communi-
zation will run into obstructive opposition
which, while perhaps not violent under
present circumstances, will be both ubiqui-
tous and resourceful The Hapsburgs and
the Nazis alike could testify to that.
However Czech resistance will be tested
by an ordeal severer than any previously
encountered, because totalitarian COM
munism backed by Moscow is the most
efficient despotism the world has ever
known It's ruthlessness knows no bounds.
In Soviet Russia itself, opposition has been
Systematically broken by mass-executions,
mass ss-starvation and s-deportation to
slave labor camps totalling probably tens
of millions of persons, while the same
process of liquidation" is going on In
Moscow's other satellites, notably in Tito's
Yugoslavia The Czechs are a relatively
small people and are now in direct prox-
unity to the Soviet Union, which has
limitless capacity to receive and scatter
recalcitrants over the vast expanses Of
Siberia and other remote regions. Czecho-
slovakia's Communist rulers presumably
will stick at nothing to attain their ends,
and they are acting not only with Mos
cows support but under Moscow's orders.
If the rulers of the Kremlin resolve that
Czech popular opposition is to be broken
the breaking process could be unrestrained.

Federal Government. Why has 1t been omitted
in this case?
Strangely missing also Is q specific clause
stating that the Belasco must be used only for
theater productions, ie, legitimate theater
opera, ballet, concerts etc, but must not be
used ~ . movie house Per sc.
This Is important in . metropolitan area
with some 30 movie houses and no legitimate
theater where the great actors and actresses
John Garfield, Charles Laughton, Katherine
Cornell, Helen Hayes and others Of our day
may be seen. It u important because the
Belasco offers the only chance the citizenry
here will have to see great theater again.
Finally, in the face OF the present arrange
ment whereby Constitution Hall is furnished
Federal steam for heating this major concert
hall. though Negro artists are barred from per-
forming there, the prospective tenant of the
Belasco must, under the proposal, meet the
heavy and needless additional cost Of installing
his own heating plant. Why couldn't the build
ing continue to be heated Is ut present, the
tenant paying for this, Of course?
Brave words by the administration In q cam
paign year about civil rights and the increment
OF national goodwill expected by releasing the
Belasco from wafehouse duty will be quickly
dissipated il it becomes apparent, As believe
1t will that the cards have ben stacked against
legitimate -theater returning to the Belasco and
to the Nations Capital. J. q. FRAN,

No Time to Quit

Barring something akin to a miracle,
Congress is going to reach the adjourn
ment deadline which has been set for to-
night with it's legislative affairs in an
unholy mess.
The LANCER Taylor filibuster has delayed
final action on the draft. The nineteenth
century thinking of Representative Taber,
aided and abetted by the Republican lead
ers In the House, is preventing any accept
able agreement on funds for the European
Recovery Program. The pay bill, the farm
bill, the Atomic Energy Commission ap-
pointments the housing bill and the oleo
tax repeater are among other important
measures which have been lost in the
shuttle
II the members of this Republican Con-
gress have any sense Of responsibility, II
they are conscious of their obligation to
the people who elected them, they will not
close up shop and 60 home with this un-
finished business behind them
The sensible thing would be to recess
for the Republican convention and then
get back on the job and stay on it until
the essential legislation Is passed 1t also
has been suggested that the recess might
run until August until after the Demo-
cratic convention. This seems less de-
sirable than a one-week recess, but it
probably would serve the same purpose.
The important thing is to get the work
done; the manner and method are
secondary.
This is a matter which calls for the
of{ 1f fho Donuh1ioop 1noH n.
serious Ear f pav ID 'ne no to IT that that
Congress meets it's responsibilities, then the
President should, and probably will, call
the Legislature back into special session.
And if he has to do that in order to get
the national business attended to, he will
be able, with reason, to say that the Re-
publican Congress was tried and found
wanting.

Top-Heuvy Government

No person in or out of the Government
is better qualified to criticize Federal
administrative procedures than Arthur s.
Flemming, member Of the Civil Service
Commission. Long friend and supporter
of the civil service system, Mr.. Flemming's S
appraisal of governmental administration
Is bound to be objective constructive
and frank.
For these reasons, Commissioner Flem-
| mings critical analysis Of Government
management" at the annual conference
here of the Washington Chapter, Society
for the Advancement of Management, is
of more than ordinary importance. Soon
to leave the Government service to become
president of 4 university, Mr.. Flemming
has taken an overall look at the system
of which he has been q part and has
found lot Of things wrong with it, Some
of these things have been pointed out by
others-but the commissioners criticisms
constitute rarely heard civil service self
analysis
Mr. Flemming finds that all too often
Government employees are vague as to the
objectives of their work, are confused as
to what they or their units are supposed
to do Sometimes the detectives them
selves are hazy or outmoded. Objectives
which were legitimate a decade ago are
still being adhered to in some offices,
although the conditions which originally
warranted the objectives long since have
disappeared.
In some cases the employees realize the
uselessness of their work, but are reluctant
to say or do anything about it because
they fear loss of their jobs. Mr.. F1emming
is convinced, however, that administrators
who boldly recommend the elimination of
useless activities will not suffer, In the long
run. Certainly the whole civil service sys-
tenn would benefit If it were placed on
more efficient working basis.
A succession of peacetime and wartime
emergencies has resulted in q pyramiding
of governmental agencies and administra-
tors until the whole structure has become
top-heavy and unwieldy. Mr.. Flemming
says that 50 many intermediate levels of
reviewing authority have been built up
that great gulf exists between top-level
administrators and operating personnel
In between are successive levels of re-
viewers and supervisors and administrative
assistants who act as buffers for the boss
All of which impels Mr.. Flemming to con-
clude that I'VE have far too many admin
istrative assistants in government for our
own good" He is correct when he says
that this sort of thing "just doesn't make
sense"
There is a ray of hope on the general
scene, fortunately. Government shortcom-
ings of the type described by the COM
missioner are being studied by a special
committee on Government reorganization,
headed by former President Herbert

Obstacles at the Belasco


To the Editor Of The star
As you know, the Federal Government paid
$500 900 for the Belasco Theater and grounds.
Under the proposal as drawn and advertised
June /, this year, by the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, the Government in effect most
generously offers to lease the .Belasco for at
least Q year. In return for this theatrical
producer willing to bring legitimate theater to
the Nations Capital before democratic audi
snce-admittedly great service for his country
must invest approximately $500 900 to re-
store the theater to operating condition.
To put it mildly, this is to make . farce of
any serious intention to present theater here
in the near future. It appears that every pos
sible obstacle to make the restoration and
operation of this theater unrewarding and
unreasonably dificult has been incorporated
into the proposal as drawn. Little wonder
then that the response, as reported by the
ONCE of PBA's general counsel has been
Disappointing.
Since the property. in addition, will continue
to be federally owned it would seem that it
should be obvious even to the legal division Of
the Public Buildings Administration that the
proposal should stipulate that the Belasco
must be open to all. For several years now
clause stating specifically that no discrimina-
ton as to race, creed and color can be allowed
has been written into contracts drawn By ths
