Between the Lines


sition in the eyes of the world.
According to Gunnar Myrdal,
science has driven the "quack"
writers on the race question out
OF business; and in order for a
writer to be respectable, he must
observe the findings of science
and these more and more discount
the ideas Of race superiority,
thereby undermining the founda-
tions of white supremacy.
So the pitiless light CT publicity
Is being played on the hapless
dixicratic south and it is no won
der. then, that the ordinary dixie
crat Is beginning to see what in
telligent whites of the south have
seen for long time and that is,
the fates and fortunes of the
white and Negro south are inter
twined after such fashion that
they go up or down togethere
thing Booker T. Washington tried
to make plain 40 years ago. Pro-
moters in Birmingham, Ala. are
trying to build up a Vulcan Bowl
football game as the game Of
the south, between northern and
southern teams.
The object Of the said game
will be to court the favorable
opinion of the north. Hereto
fore the south has not given a
rap what the North thought about
it. They have rather spurned the
appraisal of the north and the
nation. Today the South seeks
to appear decent in the eyes of
the rest of the nation.
In recent meeting of the
southern governors, it has been
proposed that rather pretentious
amount of money be spent in a
campaign to set the south in
more favorable position before the
world. When the south talks low
and even admits that its position
needs bolstering, we have some
nourishing food for thought. The
South takes the defensive! The
handwriting is on the wall and
that there are broad-guaged south
erners who are becoming ashamed,
If not indeed alarmed, at the de-
terioration of the south's national
prestige, is gratifying to those
who hope against hope that the
south will look upon the brazen
serpent of a changing world order
and live. The anti-Negro atti-
tudes of the south today afford
Russia one of its strongest talk
ing points against this country.
White supremacy must go or Com
munism will come. The south has
the key to the inter-idealogical sit
uation. The defensive attitude OIL
the south is an happy augury!

An Ode to fo4s

An Ode to 1048
They say the world is round, and
yet
I often think 1t square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one great truth In life I've
found.
While journeying to the West
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The men you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath. tits true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing Ills;
This rule all lives will prove;
The ranking wound which aches
and thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest
grace,
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien. the frowning
face,
Are given to our own.
We flatter those We scarcely
know,
We please the fleeing guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless
blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for those who only see
This cut across tomb!
But, soon or late, the fact grows
plain
To all through sorrows test:
The only folks who give US pain
Are those we love the best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

THE SOUTH TAKES
THE DEFENSIVE

THE DEFENSIVE
When an enemy or an oppon-
ent can be driven from the Of
fensive to the defensive, il may
be construed as a sign of weak
ness If not indeed the sign of
final capitulation 1t is a matter
of history that the Confederate
armies fought one of their most
valiant battles away up In Get
tysburg in Pennsylvania, where
the tide of the Confederacy fell
to rise no more. But the surrender
of the great Robert E. Lee took
place at APPROXIMATION in vir-
ginia.
Il is a long way from Gettys-
burg to Appotomatoox. When the
Confederate armies were fight
ing in Pennsylvania, they were
on the offensive; when they had
to fall back to APPROXIMATION, they
were on the defensive, and on
the way out. It is even SO with
the dixiecratic south. There was
time when southerners of anti
Negro persuasion rather boasted
OF that fact and nothing so in
flated the southerners' ego as to
have 1t known that he was from
Dixie, with decided anti-Negro
propensities. Such southerners
travelled as missionaries, carrying
the message of white supremacy
and of the hold-the-Negro-down
doctrine which they religiously
spread throughout the earth.
The horrible tales some south
ern white soldiers told in Europe
about their Negro comrades in
arms will in the coming genera
tions constitute one of the sorriest
chapters in the annals of this
country. There was once a sector
of the south that boosted and
clustered when it was called up
on to discuss the Negro question.
But within recent years the south
is more cautious in its appraisal
of it's handling of the Negro
question. 1t is not so sure that
its position is safe and unassail-
able; and great pains are en-
ployed to prove its stand in a
subtle effor to win the appro-
baton of the nation and the
world.
The south is not naughty any
more when 1t reflects on its
treatment of its Negro citizens. In
other words the south is not en-
tirely so sure of itself as it was
even rs years ago. There is an
air Of uncertainty even in the
south's subtle plans to eternalize
the subjugation and domination
of its Negroes.
More and more the south is be-
! ing forced into an apologize po-

to shift to other hospitals, notably
the county, which is already over
crowded.
This would create a dangerous
situation under any conditions"
he said. "In the event of an epid-
emic, it would be a calamity.
Some Negro leaders related that
much of the hospitals burden
was the result of the discrimina-
ton against Negroes by other hos
pital. They pointed out that much
support comes from the Negro
community and that Provident's
problem is one in which the en-
tire city should take a hand.
Already, gifts tatoling about $780,
900 have been pladged by bust
nesses and civic groups toward
making up the deficit.

Scientists 10 Fight
Public Defamation
In Loyalty Probes
by the Asseeiated prsss

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 16.-A,
campaign to combat unsubstantiat-
ed public defamation" of scientists
named in loyalty or security inves-
legations was announced yesterday.
The Federation of American Sci
entists, announcing new Com
mittee on Loyalty Problems" said
| 1t would seek fair and full hear
ings" from Government agencies
and Congressional committees for
scientists criticized by them.
At a news conference called BY
the newly formed committee, Prof.
Henry D. Smyth, author of the off,
cial Government report on the
making of the atomic bomb, stressed
that the committees purposes were
nonpolitical.
This committee recognizes that
clearance and loyalty are extremely
difncult problems and not one
sided," the head of the Princeton
University Physics Department said.
Some scientists don't realize there
are two sides.
Hopes to Cooperate.
eve hope to be able to work SYM
pathetically with various Govern
ment agencies involved. We think
we can play a role by providing in
formation to individuals under criti-
cism or accusation by telling them
what are proper procedures and by
attempting to see that they get fair
treatment.
1--WE don't think scientists should
be considered a privileged class. But
we feel that scientists as a group are
feeling most acutely the impact Of
the present serious situation"
DR.. Smyth cited the DR.. Edward
U. Condor case as an Outrageous
example of procedural unfairness
The statement listed criticism Of
the director of the National Bureau
of Standards by the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities as q
vicious type of character assassina-
tion."
To Fight "Blacklisting."
DR.. Smyth said the committee
would combat "blacklisting" of dis
charged scientists when they seek
employment in non-classifled fields.
He observed that people auto
matically think a man fired from an
Atomic Energy Commission post is
a traitor"
Chairman pro tenn Of the COM
mittee is DR.. w. A. Higinbotham,
associate head of Brookhaven Ma
tional Laboratory and vice chair
man Of the Federation Of American
Scientists.
Other members include Prof. Al
