Naturally, as soon as these men
stated before the Senate Armed
Services Committee that they would
advise their racial brothers not to
present themselves to be drafted
into the army when summoned,
hue and cry was made against
them. l cannot, however, under
stand how any colored man could
possibly criticize Randolph's and
Reynolds position. regardless of
the obvious danger in 1t to them
and all other Negroes.
First, they are not advising Ne
groes to break the law of the land
but to uphold it. The men who run
the Army, the Navy and the Air
Corps, in addition to those Con
gressmen and others who control
the destiny OF the country, are the
ones who are breaking the law
when they decree that Negroes
shall be segregated in the armed
services.
.. There is no difference between
segregation and discrimination,
though a Southern reactionry, such
rs Secretary OF War Royal. would
have one believe differently. Any
body who has ever been in a Negro
and a white army camp will attest
to this fact. The fact that the
army regulations state that there
shall be no discrimination seems
TO invite many army officers to dis
criminate more.
3. Whenever the Negro Is con-
tronted with a problem concerning
his rights, either as a citizen or a
soldier, most people become horri-
fled II he takes a stand against
Jim Crow. This Is the attitude OF
those who are aghast because Rey-
noldS and Randolph have defied
those who would forever consign
the Negro to a position OF inferior
ity.
4. 1t certainly is not up to the
Negro to change his attitude to-
ward the white man or about fight
Ing for his country. On the other
hand, It Is up to the white man
to change his attitude toward the
Negro and about conditions under
which he should fight for his coun-
try. Indeed, the bestial way in
which Negroes have been treated
in the Army. the Navy and the
Air Corps under the Jim Crow pol

Democrats Hail 1914 Triumph
Over Republicans in Ball Game

, OF Kentucky, TOOK command OF the
mike and helped keep the crowd in a
jovial mood with harmonica solos.
But the diamond duel was the piece
de resistance; and although both
teams we're shuffled more that gin

spectacular plays.

tilities by throwing the first pitch
from the mound. 1t was neither a

second base for the Democrats, in
tercepted it.
The Republicans lost their first
decision of the night when they had
to accept the role of visiting team.
They sat in the home dugout, but
had to bat first. Wheeler pitched a
Texas Lacquer to Francis Case to
start the game, and with two down,
he was nicked for a single by Glenn
Davis for the Elephant Boys first
run of the fray. Thereafter he was
as tight as the Appropriations Com
mittee.
Davis, who homered to beat the
Democrats last year, 1913, got four
hits in four times at bat last night
Rivers. who further distinguished
himself by being the only Demo-
crat outf1elder to make putout,
clouted triple that evened the
count in his teams half of the
first. Laurie Battle, who had walked,
came hope on the blow But the
eventual winners did not have to be
satisfied with tying the count, for
the Republicans insisted on hand
ing them 81 advantage with a
couple of errors and an outfield fly.
The latter was caught by Earl Will
son, the only Republican outfielder
to make a putout.

ond inning, when the Democrats

cues, walks and hit batter Rivers)

latter toiled until the fourth, when

BY that time the Democrats had a
1872 lead and were getting out of
control.

third, but in between Wheeler was

rivals could do about it.

error gave the Elephants six runs

Alleging Ad Boycott

The Merchants and Manufac-

were charged in civil antitrust suit
filed in District Court with con-
spiracy to restrain trade through
the alleged boycotting of advertising
in the official newspaper of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
the District of Columbia Citizen.
The suit, which asks damages
totaling 1925 900, is brought under
law for three times the alleged
actual damages.
The plaintiffs are the District Of
Columbia Citizen Publishing Co. and
Paul Walsh, president, director and
stockholder of the company as well
as editor of the newspaper, which
is a monthly tabloid.
Advertising has been kept out of
the newspaper, the complaint con-
tends. through failure of a commit
tee of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association to approve the
publication for advertising.
The newspaper is published under
contract through which the FEEDER
alton receives a substantial profit,
ut was stated. Subscriptions are
made through constituent bodies of
the Federation by contributions of Is
cents annually per member, accord
ing to Attorney Eugene E. Ditto,
who, with Attorney Harold L. Schilz,
represents the plaintiffs.
Besides the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, other defend
ants named in the suit are the
Hecht Co., Kahn, Inc, and A. Kahn
Inc, described as trading as S. Kann
Sons Co.; woodward & Lothrop, and
the Young Mems Shop.
The complaint said that the
District OF Columbia Citizen has
a regular mail circulation of $4,000
copies" It added that more than
$4,000 copies of its 12-page April
1948, edition were issued and dis
tributed. Such circulation would
be very much larger and substan-
TALLY more widespread but for the
restraints practiced by the defend
