KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Some of s
thinking minorities, especially of
have seen some interesting, and
Gently. More than 1000 delegates,
alternates and plain garden variety
of members of the NAACP were
holding their thirty-ninth annual
conference. From $3.50 a. m. until
midnight they had been in almost
continuous session with only brief
interludes for food and rest. Kan
sas City's genial Chief of Police
Johnson newspaper reporters and
other experienced observers told
me they had never before seen so
earnest and Woodworking a con-
vention in this convention-ridde
city.
Americans who UNDERSTANDABLE
enough believe trom the headlines
that the white South is in flaming
revolt against proposals to do
away with lynching, disfranchise-
ment and racial segregation would
have had their eyes opened at the
number of thoughtful, hard-work-
ing white Southern delegates.
There were not only university
professors and students but a white
stationary engineer from Arkansas
End trade unionists. They were
neither starry-eyed idealists nor
Communists but honest practical
Americans who dare to flout the
fomenters of racial hate in their
home communities and to advocate
full equality for all men whatever
their skin color.

Robson Refuses
To Appear Before
Segregated Groups

II will never change my policy
of refusing to sing before a segre-
gated audience" Paul Robson
internationally known singer and
a co-chairman of the National
Wallace for President Committee
told his writer in an exclusive inter
view last week.
Robson was scheduled to sing
at Durham, N. c., on June %, hut
the city officials refused to grant
permission to the local group
sponsoring the affair, unless the
following requirements were COM
piled with; that the singer would
not give speech, but merely sing,
and that the audience be segregat-
ed.
On informing the singer of the
requirements demanded by the
Durham officials, Robson, who at
that time had not known of the
happenings, maintained that I'M
der such conditions he would not
appear in Durham as his policy
has always been to appear before
nen-segregated audiences.
Since that time, the committee
has changed the place of the af-
fair to Greensboro, N. c., for the
same date.
Four days later, Robson will
sing for the United Negroand AL
lied Veterans of America, Inc, in
Washington, D. c. at the Uline
Arena.
On Tuesday night, the singer sub
stituted for Senator Glen H. Tay-
lor at Wallace for President rally
at the ST. Nicholas Arena Goth
Street near Broadway, with 5000
present.
Taylor was listed as the main
speaker, along with Rep. Vito
Marcantonion Of the American La
Dor Party, but both men were de-
tainer by the night sessions now
going on in Congress.
Another speaker that filled in
was City Councilman Eugene Con-
molly.

adopted seemed to be considered as
just another quadrennial perform
ance by the trained seals of politics
with another performance schedul-
ed to be given a fortnight later.
Republican Tweedledum and Dem 2
cratic Tweedledee were doing their
stunts, and the difference of intent
between them was indistinguishable
to the NAACP delegates. There
was manifest in every speech and
throughout the resolutions the
realization that the only way to
achieve results is through COM
plete independence of either politi-
cal party, with emphasis on spe-
cific issues, and Individual candi-
dates.
Even decade ago at least one
speaker could have been counted
on to paraphrase Frederick Doug
lass's famous remarSto the effect
that "The Republican party is the
ship, all else the sea-" Nothing
even approximating such blind
faith in either of the major poll
tical parties was either spoken or
believed. The only attempt at
political activity was at the begin
ming of the conference by the
Wallaceites. A few individuals
worked theoretically in the forlorn
hope that a resolution indorsing
the third party might be obtained
despite the traditional non-partis-
an position of the NAACP. SO in
ept were the tactics of some of the
Wallaceites that resentment among
the delegates swiftly developed.
The sentiment of the convention
was overwhelmingly against any
political commitments. The short
shrift accorded the Wallace sup
porters stopped cold any attempts
by any other politicians of other
parties which may have been plan

EYES ON
WASHINGTON
THE COP AND LABOR

Eyes are turned not on Wash
ington but on Philadelphia these
summer weeks. In vast auditor
iuns professional politicians go
through their circus tricks, while
deals are being made backstage
to select the next President of
the United States
The two old parties must some
how square the circle and persuade
a worried electorate that one or the
other of them has the answer to
the high cost of living. and the
threat of war.
They know that the last conven-
ton to be held in Philadelphia this
summer is the Wallace New Party
Convention. If they don't have the
answers. Wallace is the gamer.
Stands on Record
1t is too early to talk about the
Democratic platform for 1948. But
the Republican platform is now
known. 1t stands on the scandalous
record of the S0th Congress-the
Taft-Hardley Congress as a
record of solid achievement" 1t
stands by the Taft-HaRtley Act it
self and pledges Continuing study
to improve labor-management legis
lation.' Let's remember that's how
the Taft-Hartley Act got started
they were going to improve the
Wagner Act. And said Governor
Green of Illinois in his keynote
speech at the Republican Conven-
ton: This act will stand as a
proof of the courage of its spon-
solS and the willingness of the Re-
publican party to deal fearlessly
with every vital problem"
Governments chief function,
says the labor plank, is Ito pro-
mote good VIII, encourage coopera-
ton . E" Under the Hartley
Act good will is promoted for en-
ployers by injunctions against
unions, by liberalization proceed
ings, by unfair labor practices
against unions, by permitting en-
ployers "free speech against
union organization on company
property and company time.
Companies like National Carbon
and Hoover and Remington Rand
are encourage" to break off col
lective bargaining. It's been one
way street for employers under
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Real NAM Plank
In spite of the smooth talk in
the platform about Cooperation
and goodwill, it's still the MA
Ms plank and not labor's. There is
no answer to labor's problems in
the Republican platform for 1913.

FAILURE TO BUILD new home
for Negro families has badly
unbalanced today's housing output
in relation to market demand, and
is helping generate pressure that
will create additional blighted
areas, a survey of several recent
studies of this problem discloses.
Failure to bald for the Negro hou
sing market will materially short
en- the present building boom. No
new houses for Negroes means
that those who can afford better
places to live will find them among
older houses, generally in what
are now white communities.
New York City's population OF
non-whites, the bulk of whom are
Negroes, has increased since l94O
NOR ethan twice as rapidly as the
total population, and their income
has doubled. but builders have not
vet come forward to meet their in
creased housing demands.
A rough measure of this pent-up
demand for housing is shown by
the experience of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company at River
ton. This project of 1892 apart
ments has been fully occupied since
it was completed in April. One bed
room apartments there rent for
S44 to $50, and two-bedroom apart
ments for S52 to $72, including
utilities. Even at this relatively
high level the market seems W.
tually indestructible. Mere than
$4,000 applications were received.
So far as can be learned, however,
no further housing of this type is
planned.

parts of the country. The stimuli

THIS WEEK AT ZION
GARDENS
By Fred Richards

First of all, I want to thank
our many patrons who have
made our Valentines Day bus
mess such a huge success. Dan
Cupid really did a job this Feb
ruary 18th.
The rest of this column will
be devoted to few pointers on
caring for plants sold recently.
Cyclamen - these plants
are about through blooming
now but should be kept cool
and we'll watered every day.
When the plants starts dying
it should be allowed to dry out
and the bulk can be repotted
about July LIST.
Cineraria-these plants are
just starting to bloom now and
will last about a month. They
need a lot of water and cool
temperature. When the plant
goes to seed it will not bloom
again.
Tulips - a cool, dark place
is the best for tulips and they
should have plenty of water.
When they are through bloom
ing allow the pot to dry out
and plant the bulb outside in
the fall.
Jonquils- sometimes called
Daffodils- take the same care
as Tulips.

Hyacinths = these plants
take the same care as Tulips
and Jonquils.
African Violets- the Violet
likes warm temperature and
should be kept out of sun. They
like a lot of water and for the
best results, water from the
bottom. Never let water touch
the leaves.
Christmas Begonia - these
plants will almost die COM
pletely after blooming but
keep watering them when they
need it and keep in a warm
place. When the plants starts
to grow again it should be re-
potted and should bloom again
for Christmas.

The Home Front
BY BORIS SINCLAIR

With the Presidential elections
to be held within a few days, it can
now be revealed that both the
Democratic and Republican parties
agreed to take precautions against
the injection of religious and racial
prejudice into the election cam
paign This was done at the
request of the National Commun-
ity Relations Advisory Council :.
The Council wrote to the chairmen
of the Republican and Democratic
National Committees, calling upon
them to inform members of their
parties that any appeals to racial
and religious prejudice in the
course of the election campaign
would be repugnant to the party's
leadership q. Replies from both
chairmen were favorable i. Jew
ish communities throughout the
country had been advised of these
pledges and were alerted to the
occurrence of any incidents con-
travening them No such in
cidents, however, occurred =. l..
Proposals made by Jewish publish
ers that the English-Jewish press
in this country take a stand
outright-for or against some of
the Presidential candidates were
opposed by Philip Slomovitz, pres
ident of the American Association
of EnglishpJewish Newspapers . D..
In a circular letter Slomovitz noti-
fled all members of the Associa-
ton that there is a tradition in
English-Jewish journalism to steer
clear of controversy in Presiden-
tial elections This tradition,
he suggested, should be continued,
regardless of the publishers per-
sonal sentiments.
