ported they saw him speeding along

before they had seen another car

Motorcycle Patrolman R. G. Riker
testified he overlook the sailors, but
not until after a two-mile chase in

arresting Jack Loring Smith, 26, of
the Anacostia Receiving Station, and
Willie Taylor, "a, of the Patuxent
River Naval Station, another police
man was arresting Mr.. Powell not
far away.

the stamp upon themselves of be
ing fools and simpletons. Chart
table sociologists and academic
social workers say that they are
"escapists"
Searching, probing realists,
who are determined to get at the
cold facts Of life, will spool at
such conclusions. The uncount
ed thousands of colored folk,
whose frivolities and follies are
evident everywhere, are clearly
suffering from no Illustrations
They are not perturbed nor
driven to despair by reason of
their lowly status. They are not
set upon escaping from the con-
fines of second-Class citizenship.
But to the contrary, they appear
hell-bent upon having a good
time. 1t is their consuming de-
sire TO make life a continual
round of pleasure. They will I'M
hesltatingly admit, if you catch
them off guard, that they are de
termined to have a good time.
The sporting" element of col
urpd AmPriCanS-and they are far
too many-aTe set on having
fun" They are engaged in an
eternal quest for sport. 1t is sad
to relate, but necessary, in the in
tcrest of truth, to report that the
froliCkerS, the jewellers, the wine
blbers and the fiesh-pots Of col
ored America are not frustrated
and neither are they engaging
themselves in their ridiculous and
dangerous follies because they
are seeking to escape from the
misfortunes Of color prejudice.
And that is the point of this
theme. The very regions where
the ColOred people have the most
strategic opportunity to elevate
themselves are the very same
points where they are playing the
parts Of fools. In vital cities like
New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh. Cleveland, Detroit, ChiCa-
60 and Los Angeles-where there
are hundreds of thousands of the
darker minority Compacted to-
gether-may be found the unholy
reign of folly and frivolity
Those who will seek to con
TESS and avoid" these embarasS-
ing conclusions will indicate that
frothy minded white people are
doing the same, identical things
and that the colored people are
carbon copies of their dominant
brothers
But the whites of America are
not proportionately so silly. All
over America, even in the most
liberal sections of the country,
the whites reveal the stern de
termination to preserve their su-
premacy. They, likewise, display
a moving penchant to engage in

free enterprise"
The white people of America
have presented to the colored
citizens an amazing and soul
stirring example of streamlined
civilization. The whole world is
astounded by Americas utlliza-
ton of its opportunities.
The white American has put
his assembly line of productions
on public display. He has seized
the glorious opportunities offered
to the citizens of this Nation.
Those who are blind can even
feel the surging tide Of onward
motion. The ColOred American
has been the incidental benefi-
ciary of Americas thrift and sur
charged economy.
The wanton waste of advan-
tage, the profigate finging away
OF opportunity, cannot be excused
and justified by invoking the fall
laCious diCtum that the Colored
man initiates the white man.
White America works hard,
plays hard and takes its rest.
A most unfortunate segment of
cOlOred people make play the rul-
ing passion and the consuming
ObSeSSiOn.
That is one of the prime rea-
sons why progress lags That is a
reason why we lack banks and
mercantile institutions, and that
is why lounges, pool rooms,
gambling denS flourish where
drug stores, restaurants, haber
dasheries, and the like should
abound.
The tendency to have a good
time" is prevalent among colored
people. The conspicuous element
of drones and butterflies has been
coddled, INDUCED and pampered.
Sometimes it has been headlined
and featured They have been de
picted with ornate glamour. But
they have meant very little to
their fellows.
If the follieS and friVolitles of
cOlored America continue on, I'M
challenged and unmolested, then
the progress and the privileges
craved for will be further i'm
prded and denied
