Civil Rights Picnic
Halted By Threat
OF Violence

Louisville, KY, Oct. 12-An in
terracial picnic slated to be held
in Shawnee Park here last Sat
urday night under the sponsor
ship of the Civil Rights Com.
mittee of Louisville and Jeffer-
son County was postponed because
of what was called an authori-
tative report that Republican pol.
iticians intended to create violence
at the park and use tn eincident
for political purpose, in theelec
ton.
The picnic was originally intend
ed to prove that mixed groups
could meet Sin peaceful and friend
ly fashion, according to a state
ment issued by the civil righs
group at a discussion meeting
held in Brook Hall. The organ
ization, after setting aside Oct
2, as the date of the picnic at a
meeting in the Phyllis Wheatley
YWCA, distributed letter to
city official newspapers and radio
stations, which stated:
This is non-segregated pic
mic. A mixed group of friends,
Negro and White will b ethere,
playing the same games, having
the same good time that we have
had on a picnic together in In
diana. Only this time it will be
little different. We are having
our picnic on our own Louisville
Park.
LAS a liberal, you know that
segregation is useless and obse-
lete. But there are those who will
howl that black and white can't
get along together and that be-
cause Shawnee Park is a white
park, there will be trouble.
According to Walter Case, in
ternatlonal representative of the
olo Transport Workers Union, the
violence by hoodlums was BEING
organlzed by Republicans. He said.
Ihe things I've heard in the
past few days lead me to the con-
cluslon that if we go to Shawnee
Park, we will be walking into an
organized massacre by a band of
hoodlums.''

BUMPER BABY CROP
Boom in Births Means Chanqos

Biggest boom of all right now is
that which is expanding the U. S.
baby crop to historic proportions.
More than 26 million new babies
have arrived on the scene in this
nation since 1910, when the baby
boom began. That is nearly II mil
lion more than had been expected
on the basis of what has been con-
sidered the average yearly birth
rate Of the past, about two million.
And this bumper crop has in
creased the total national family to
more than IA million souls-con-
siderably more than even any gov
ernment bureau had counted on.
Last year more bundles from
heaven arrived in the u. S. than
ever before in its history, a whop-
ping 3.37 million; and this year
probably will measure up to approx
imately the same standard.

House Debates Tax Bill;
Candhi Is Assassinated

All signs pointed to an income tax
cut of one kind or another this year
as the house of representatives
changed the bell for the opening
round of crucial, election-year de-
bate on that much-belabored issue.
Joseph Martin (Rep., Mass.,
speaker of the house, started things
off with the assertion that an in
come tax slash is in the bag. He
conceded, however, that it might not
run as high as the 6.5 billion dollars
provided in the Knutson bill, now
up for debate.
But in the end, he said, the Re-
publican congress would override a
presidential veto ''of the tax bill we
send to the White House."
In order to beat the veto that Mr..
Truman might slap on the tax bill,
however, the Republicans would
have to line up a few Democrats to
vote on their side to make the neceS-
sary two-thirds majority And to
bring enough Democrats around, ii
was thought, the senate Republicans
would tone down the bill.
Rep. Robert Doughton Dem.,
N. c., ranking Democrat on the
tax-fxing ways and means commit
tee, pointed out the obvious fact that
Republicans would have to trim the
size of the cut to get anywhere
Otherwise, he said, congress will up
hold the veto land we will have no
tax reduction at ALL"
AS far as Knutson's 6.5-billion-
dollar measure is concerned, COP
congressman were touting it on the
grounds that it would spur business,
increase production and relieve the
price-pressure on taxpayers in ad-
dition to leaving the government
enough revenue for an 11-billion-
dollar payment on the public debt in
the next two years.
Democrats, of course, take the
Numerically opposed view, holding
that tax slash that big would force
the government to borrow money,
threaten national security and him
der the European recovery plan
upon which so much of the current
phase Of U. S. foreign policy is
founded.

What is Communism, as exempli-
Aed by members of the Communist
party in the United States? Some
say it is religion. Well, if the whirl-
ing dervishes are religious. so are
the Communists. They are certain
ly as fanatically devoted to their
creed. If the American people were
q little more familiar with that
creed, they would understand the
Communists better, and it is to be
remembered that that creed is more
than an 81 believe" 1t is a set Of
rules, and if you don't obey those
rules, your life is in danger. Com
munists don't believe in punishment
in future life. Their motto is ''do
it now," and they do it.
My attention has been directed re-
Gently to one paragraph in the Com
munist bible, resolution passed
and accepted and integrated into
the internationale. It explains just
what you can expect of Communists
when they join club, a union or
any international body. Expect no
more of them; no less. This is the
paragraph:
There can be no question of
the utilization of bourgeois gov
ernmental institutions except
for the purpose of their destruc-
ton"
Many explanations have been Of
fered as to why a normal, natural
born American should embrace
communism. The reasons range
all the way up and down the scale,
and include everything from a
broken heart to some hidden neu-
rosis that makes other people nag
their husbands, maltreat their
wives, drink, kick the dog or jump
into the river. But whatever the
urge is, it has some strange effects
on the patient.
Take, for instance, that one-time
firebrand member of the 'Wob-
blies," Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

the World" who flourished in the
