County Putting
New Look On
Negro Agriculture
Program

State College, Miss. Wash
ington County is putting ''new
look on its negro agricultural
program.
The new look doctrine is being
spread by L. HI. Moseley, county
agent, with the cooperation of
Charlie Burton negro county a.
gent, ]. L. Haley, county FILA SUI
pervisor, Delois Magee, negro
FILA supervisor, and all other ag-
ricultural workers in the county.
DR.. Peter Hogg, of the Delta Ex-
pertinent Station, helped the work
ers outline the pasture demonstra-
tions. @Msgg,
To do fashionable and profitable
farming now the negroes of Wash
ington County are giving special
attention to balancing cotton with
other crops such as oats, wheat,
corn, rye, gardens orchards, alfal-
ia and pastures.
Six negro farmers followed the
farm plans which Mr.. Moseley and
other agricultural leaders helped
them work out last year. Just re-

families cooperating with the agri-
cultural workers this year is that
they have learne the negro can live
at home on q planned farm pro-
gram.
Their livestock are better fed,
they said. since they put on past
ure demonstrations. Money they
used to spend for food is now being
spent for other things since they
raise their own food.
"The negro recognizes his first
need is food" George Jennings
said, "and now he sees how he can
grow food. The program has made
it possible to have lights an water
and other modern conveniences."
George is former Plant to Pro-
sper winner in the negro land-own-
err division. He owns 100 acres of
lad he cleared himself. Last year he
made 8S bales of cotton on 70
acres. He grew his own wheat at
an average of So bushels on c
acres. The Jennings buy no flour;
they take their wheat to the mill
at Shelby.
He made 70 bushels per acre of
oats on 6 acres and planted 30
acres of corn from which he made
an average of so bushels to the
acre. He has another 80 acres
planted in corn this year.
From a acres of orchard and
garden, he makes as much -.----.-,.-
$4,000 ....-- as the average tenant
makes from a farm. He is now
cutting his timber selectively, US
ng the bad trees for fire wood and
keeping the best ones to grow out

S. c. Negro Leader
Against Wallace
Party

CHARLOTTE, N. C. June IL
(Special)-A widely known South
Carolina Negro leader who has
been in the forefront of the court
battles that has won for his people
the right to vote in the Democratic
primary in his state in sounding a
warning to his people, said here
today that Negroes have nothing
to gain by following Henry Wal
lace's third party.
J. M. Hinton, president of the
South Carolina conference of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, made
his declaration against Wallace
before 100 delegates attending the
conference in Charlotte.
Hinton declared: -,
"The Negro wants the right to
vote, equal and unsegregated
schools, the opportunity to work
anywhere he is capable and justice
in the courts"
Hinton charged that South Caro-
lima Democratic party officials
have attempted to Illustrate the
NAACP|s legal victory against
them by "circumventing the court
decision and preventing Negroes
from registering"
A South Carolina supreme court
decision almost year ago out
lawed the states white primary.
Hinton added that efforts OF the
NAACP ha broken the attempt of
the white party leaers in Richland
county, where South Cardinals
capital city of Columbia is located.

Among those in the investigation
were several county superntendets
as well as community people in
terested in the continued opera
ton of the school. From what could
be learned as a result of the in
vestigation, it seems that the
superintendent were willing to
make adjustments relative to the
matter but denied having been
contacted before efforts were made
to drop the high school depart
ment.
According to reports, the matter
was brought before the faculty by
President Pipes several weeks ago
but brought unfavorable reaction
from many. Here members of the
faculty are reported to have asked
Pres. Pipes if he had investigated
the matter, as his action indicated
that he was anxious to have the
faculty approved the discontin-
uance of the high school dept. In
the faculty meeting DR.. Pipes is
reported to have indicated that he
was willing to have his child go
out and get her high school edu-
cation as it would be more bene-
ficial cher than to have an ideal
on the campus situationn. To this
however, may faculty members and
community people do not agree.

The county workers idea is to

Henry Wallace's flop in the 1s4S campaign doubt
less will become subject for study by politicians and
Historians, present and future.
When Wallace branched off with his Third Party
movement the Democratic Party seemed deader than
ever by the end of the campaign the average voter
obviously, had trouble remembering the former Vice.
President running.
Thus Wallace paid the supreme penalty for being
dull.
In the beginning he something of an attrac-
ton. The formation of the Third Party had received
serious consideration by political observers He had
a name from the frequent political when a
member of the New Deal administration He had
been fired from the cabinet by President Truman.
Judging by the eggs and tomatoes thrown at him.
his early campaigning a Crowds flocked
to hear boo him Things looking up for Henry
in those days and almost anything seemed possible
But not for long.
THE philosophy which Wallace sought to sell found
few takers.
People stayed away from his rallies towards the
ton and it is not recorded that he suffered much
as cat call or boo he neared the climax of his
drive" for the Presidency.
All which must have been blow to the Wallace
hackers
They were not accorded the dignity Of opposition
they were ignored.
In this fashion, the American people demonstrated
their sentiments toward eftis doctrines preached by
Wallace and his cohorts
The former Vice Presidents campaign might have
been helped in its final stages by the hiring of
egg thrower two. But, the results have shown,
not even Walter johnson the payroll to do the
hurting could have done much raise the Waaceites
from the doldrums.

Growth of Hospitals
New York Times


1t is dramatic fact according to newly published
figures that the almost 100000 Americans admitted
into the 6173 hospitals of the United States in 1947
represent nearly 100 per cent increase over the g.
SIT patients admitted to hospitals in 1887, ten
years ago These figures, along with many others
illustrating the increased recognition of the place of
hospitals in the nations health and welfare appear
in the 1913 American Hospital Directory compiled
by the American Hospital Association.
To put the matter in another way, last year one
in every eight Americans received hospital Some
100000 patients 100000 more than in 1916, were
admitted to general hospitals in 1947 Rising prices
left their mark according to the directory the
age cost of caring for patient for one day in a
general hospital jumped from 1899 to S1109 in 1916
Az leaving a daily deficit of $l.38 per patient.
Hospitals spent about 4oo0o00a0 more in 1947
than in 1916 due to higher wages, higher prices and
expanded services 1t is Significant that the
patient entering a general hospital last year STAYED
for only eight days compared to 81 days in 1916
The Association seems justified in feeling that this
shorter hospital stay results from the increasing tend
ency of patients to enter hospitals in earlier stages of
illness, we'll from wider recognition of the value
of hospitals improved treatment methods and early
ambulation. Blue Cross and other prepayment plans
have put hospital within financial reach of
thousands who could afford it previously With
continued progress in medical science and hospital
care the prospect indeed, is for better longer and
healthier lives

SUPPORTERS AND DEsERTERs

Now that the election tumult is
over, this column would like to
draw a comparison between the
political behavior OF four people
once extremely close to Frank
lin Roosevelt. They are Eleanor
Roosevelt, Harold Ickes, Jesse Jones
and Henry Wallace.
Winston Churchill used to say
that it was only when the dark
came down that the stars shone.
No two men ever received more
benefits from Franklin Roosevelt
than Jesse Jones and Henry Wal
lace.
Wallace was an obscure farm
writer and seed grower in Iowa
editing larm journal which teet-
cred on the verge of bankruptcy,
when FDR picked him up and put
him in the Cabinet. Eight years
later, large segment of the Demo-
cratic party WINGED and some OPEN
ly rebelled when FDR insisted that
Wallace be his Presidential
running mate.
Jesse Jones also was desperately
out on the financial limb when he
became the Democratic member
off the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. Suddenly, after
pounding the pavements of Wall
Street trying to borrow money to
bail out his precarious enterprises,
Jesse became the great Government
moneylender. The financial pow
ers had to come to him, not ne
to them.
Under Roosevelt he became the
financial czar of America with the
power to put his friends in COM
mand of airlines, railroads, insur-
ance companies, utilities. No one
ever accused Jesse of making loans
to his own enterprises, but he ac-
cumulated enormous obligations of
gratitude by his capacity to make
loans to others.
And cold FLOODED Jesse was not
the kind of man who did not keep
double-entry books OF obligation in
his own mind as he dispensed the
billions that Democratic admins
tration gave him.

PRINCIPLE IN DEFEAT

1t is a queer quirk of fate that
it was Jesse Jones and Henry Wal
lace who rowed so continually that
FDR had to crack their heads to-
gether. Eventually he eased Wall
ace out of the Vice Presidency and
fired Jesse Jones, fired him be-
cause he suspected what has now
tsen proved a fact namely, that
Jesse was quietly building up a
Republican bloc in Texas.
Today, Jesse Jones, in his seven
ties, considered a FLOODED OPP
portunist by most of the people of
Texas, came out openly for the Re-
publican Party. His old adversary.
Henry Wallace, conspired with the
Commies to bring about the demise
Of those who made him.
And Harold Ickes, also in his
seventies, rode the rails to Mon
tana, made speeches, used up his

R. R. BARGE IS
STILL AGROUND
IN CROSS SOUND

ANCHORAGE, Nov. 10.-R- A
barge of the Alaska Railroad, load
ed with relief supplies, was aground
in Southeast Alaska today but road
officials said they hoped to be
able to pull it free.
The officials said an aerial in
spection of the craft showed it to
be upright in Fern Harbor, and
apparently not battered by the
rocks.
One tug attempted to pull the
barge off the shore yesterday
morning without success. Two
more were en- route to Fern Har-
Dor to assist.
Fear that the forward hold of
the barge is flooded was expressed
by Officers of the Coast Guard
Gutter Hemlock, which removed the
TWO crew members yesterday.
Railroad officials said that if the
three tugs are unable to free the
barge, its cargo will be transfer
red to another barge.
The barge was carrying 1908 tons.
The largest part of the cargo, 1.138
tons, was destined for Anchorage,
including 80 tons of electrical
equipment for a city public i'm
provement program.
The barge went ashore yesterday
morning while seeking shelter
in Fern Harbor from winds of
gale force. Tug company officials
said a rip tide was responsible.

and a party he belived in, even
though he thought it would be de-

No one ever fought harder to
oppose Truman's denomination at
Philadelphia than Harold Ickes
and, behind the scenes, SO also did
Mrs. Roosevelt. But once the de-
cision was made, both decided to
stay on the ship that had served
them in victory, even though it
appeared that it would go down
in defeat.

TRUAIAN'S DISTRESS

The teletyped message which the
President sent to Secretary of
State Marshall sin Paris regarding
the proposed Vinson mission to
Moscow gave interesting insight in
to this.
Il pray" Truman told his Secre-
tary of State, Il may never again
be confronted with the decision !
had to make regarding Hiroshima y
When further arguing with Mar
shall over the Vinson mission, Tru-
man also showed great mental dis
tress that he should ever have to
unleash the atomic bomb again
Marshall, himself a religious man,
was impressed with Truman's
Bible-trained conscience The Pres
ident seemed to be conjuring up
a scene after death in which he,
Truman, was being questioned by
st. Peter at the gates of Heaven
regarding the commandment Thou
Shalt Not Kill"
The diplomatic advisers around
Marshall and perhaps Secretary
Marshall himself regarded this
Truman "sentimentalism" as dang
erous for reasons which may be
difficult for the diplomat to
understand.
For the diplomats chief bargain
ing power at Paris and Berlin has
been the idea that we might drop
the atomic bomb. Thus, ii the
idea permeated back to Moscow
that Truman would not drop the
bomb, and that he placed his re-
lance on the arguments and Ken
lucky philosophy of his good friend,
Chief Justice Vinson, the diplomats
chief bargaining weapon would be
destroyed.
1t may seem involved. and it may
seem old-blooded, but this was
one Of the background reasons for
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1948-11-11

Marshall's final veto of the Vinson
mission. 1t was not that he
wanted to drop the A-bomb, but
rather that he wanted to Russians
to think we might drop it.
So, no matter what his Short
comines as a statesman, history
viii probably conclude that Harry
Truman was no warmonger but
humble though confused believer
in the brotherhood of man.
