part of a city bus and stand to
give a seat to a white passenger.
The Negro man who interceded in

court the next morning.
Hostile whites and members or
sympathizers o fthe Ku Klu Khan
sought recently to brighten a Ne

a cross near their home. Every

ignorant and prejudiced whites in
every section of the United States.
In Norfolk a Negro, Gus Nc

Reynolds Says
Negroes Preparing
Civil Disobedience

PHILADELPHIA, June 80. GA
NP)-Grant Reynolds, commits
sioner of correction for the tSate
of New York, and ex-army chap
lain, was guest speaker at a huge
and heated civil rights rally here
June 20.
Reynolds related his experiences
in the service as we'll as with gov
eminent officials in Washington.
He said pleas for a non-segregated
army were ignored unit The and
Philip Randolph promised to en-
courage every Negro youth in
America to refuse to should a
gun in time of war. This. made
them listen.
The unfortunate thing about
his stand, he said, was that many
influential Negroes ran for cover
and went all out to say that he
had no right to say such a thing.
He insisted that their silence,
whether in agreement or other
wise, would have been more than
effective in gaining desired ends.
Speaking Q fthe threats he and
committee two months ago, Rey-
Randolph made before the senate
nolds said: "Those we're not idle
threats"
Reynolds further stated that
there r hundres of young Ne
gro youth who hav pledged them
selves to fight and that the best
in legal assistance will be ready
to act in the defense of these
youths. Reynolds asserted that

SeIeetive Service
Set For August

Registration date for the new
Selective Service law is August
16. According to Ohio Selective
Service officials, draft boards will
be set up by that time. Except
that there will be fewer boards,
the operation will be about the
same as for World War II. The
board members will serve volun-
tarily without pay.
1t was enormously stated on
these pages several days ago that
enlistment in the Ohio National
Guard would serve to eliminate
enlistees from the act. Actually
enlistments in the Guard must
stop. This does not affect Ne
groes anyway, since they are not
accepted in the Guard in Ohio.
Army Secretary Royal, a rock
ribbed southerner, has stated that
Negroes will not be drafted under
a separate 10 per cent quota as
they were in World War II. This
is the only statement on the status
of Negroes in the new draft set
up.

survey of newspaper stories
and events in the south in the last
two months shows that police Of
ficers and other officials in the
south have became more active in
abusing, attacking and arresting
Negro citizens on any pretext
available since public discussions
have been held on President Tru-
mans civil rights program for
Negroes.
There is no mistake about it.
The south intends to defeat the
civil rights program by lawless
attacks on Negroes by resorting
to brute force, Imprisonment and
murder Of Negroes who dare as
sert their rights. Already so-called
liberal whites have proved to be

Randolph in his talk scored Ne
groes for feeling that any of the
major political parties has any
profund interest in them. He fur
Their stated that if the Republi-
cans were for civil rights they
would have kept the promise made
in 1914 to investigate segrega-
ton in the armed forces. The
Democrats, he said, will not think
of having civil rights; the Wallace
party has nothing to offer the Ne
gro and is tanning itself out, thus
the Negro is lost as to where his
vote will do the most good, if any.
The rally was spsnsored by Mu
and Mu Omega chapters Of Omega
Psi Phi fraternity and was one
of several held throughout the ma
ton by the organization in an &C
tive attempt to spread the doc
trine of civil disobedience to ev-
cry town in the United States.

The Birmingham Post of May

ments on Mr. Truman's civil

Subscription Racket
May Appear in State

MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION So
Letting racketeers may invade Mon
tana rural districts again this season.
The law definitely caught up with
one INSCRIPTIONS crew in Newton
county, Indiana, and experience has
shown that such rackets that flare up
in the middle west usually make
their appearance in the west before
long.
In the Indiana case, a crew of
young women was working a refine
ment of the "wheel chair" racket
which, as Montana Farmer-Stock-
man reported, was exploited extern
sively in Montana last summer. Ac-
cording to their fearful story, the
ONE were nurses who worked all
night in a veterans hospital and
then went out to sell subscriptions
"to help the boys"
They claimed that for every order
they sold, a subscription to "Vet-
Grams Report" would be sent to
some hospitalized veteran who chad
nothing to read" 1t was a good
money-getting story, but of course
it wasn't true, as the young ladies
later admitted on the witness stand.
Two of the young women were
fined $3.50 each, given seven-year
suspended prison sentences and told
to leave the state. Such apprehension
and prosecution of subscription rack
eteers is rare, however, and since the
racket is profitable, the racketeers
may still attempt to employ their
methods in other states. Montana
may be next.
