Re South who might desert Presi-
dent Truman when the electoral
college met.
The Truman administration has
agreed to a compromise which is
satisfactory to virtually all the
southern senator's. It is simple
solution-the Democratic national
convention will be asked to adopt
as its platform the same plank
which the convention approved in
1914 and which all the southern
states accepted on that occasion.
The plank reads as follows:
I'VE assert that mankind be-
lieves in the four freedoms. We
believe that the country which
has the greatest measure of Soc
ial justice is capable of the great
est achievements. We believe that
racial and religious minorities
have the right to live, develop
and vote equally with all citizens
and share the rights that are
guaranteed by our Constitution
Congress should exert its full con-
stitutional powers to protect those
rights"

DAN DUKE SUES TO HALT PURGE OF NEGRO VOTERS
Georgia Negroes Ask $ssooo Eoeh For Deprivation of
Right 10 Vote

candidates for the Georgia senate,
and members OF the Laurens Coun-
ty board of registrars and county
commission.
The suit as filed by Atlanta
Attorney Duke charges that these
defendants cospired to. and did
remove, the names of 1900 Ne
groes from the voting lists Of the
county since November of last
year. This figure represents rs
per cent of all the Negroes who
were registered in the county.
Suits was filed only after a
group of white citizens of the
county asked the registrars to
meet with them to hear pleas
for reinstatement of the Negroes.
Only one registrar made an Ell.
pearance. and he failed to give
any satisfaction.
A hearing on the case has been
set before u. S. District Court
Judge Frank M. Scarlet on June
26.
In addition to seeking punitive
damages, the suit asks the court
to declare void the local county
election held Wednesday, June 2,
in which the 1900 purged Negroes
were not allowed to participate.
Bad Character Charged
During similar mass pu. ge of
Negro voters by Taimadglte reg
istrars in Georgia's 194i guberna-
torial campaign. Judge Scarltt or
dered the registrars of Appling
county to reinstate 500 Negroes,
and at the same time eLjoined
Coffee county registrars from
further purging there.
These threats of federal prose
cution put the fear of Uncle Sam
into other Georgia registrars, who
reistated thousands of purged Me-
groes without waiting to be per-
sonally probbed.
During February of 194S, how
ever, Dodge county grand jury
sitting at Savannah refused to
indict two registrars for purging
1900 Negroes, and this has caused
the purge to spread to other Klux-
er-Talmadge strongholds in various
parts of the state.
The purge pattern consists of
registrars sending, via the sheriff,
summonses to Negro registrants
to appear and show cause" (usu-
ally at some inconvenient hour)
why they should not be dropped
from the voting lists for Glitter
acy, criminal record, bad charac-
ter" etc.
Most of the Negroes are too
intimidated to appear. and so are
dropped automatically"

White Woman Ousted

BESSEMER, Ala. Two white
women reported to police a band
of hooded, robbed men entered
a Negro Girl Scouts camp where
they were instructors and ordered
them ''to get out of town"
Circuit Solicitor Howard Sui
linger said the women, Misses
Katrine Nickel of Birmingham,
and Elizabeth Ijams of Knoxville,
Tenn, told him about 100 men,
all dressed in white robes and
high pointed hoods, invaded the
camp about IL p. m. Thursday
An investigation was promised by
the sheriff's office.
A spokesman for the intruders
told them it was mot proper" for
white women to be within bounda-
ries of camp with Negro women,
Sullinger quoted the women as
saying.
The men told them to "get out
of town within % hours" They
were not molested otherwise.

AMERICA HAS COME
A LONG WAY

This beloved country of ours
has come a long way in the past
fifty years. The number of motor
cars on Americas modern high
ways today is one sign of our
high standard of living. 7 h e
amount of printed material circu-
lated is additional evidence.
You sense the relationship be-
tween the pages of your maya
Yin or newspaper, or a beautiful
ly printed booklet, reveal an auto
mobile whose sleek lines inspire
the feeling, I'm going to have
car like thatl" Multiply that feel
inb billions of times-yes, apply
it to the thousands of products
of American industry and
you have the Spirit of America.
Americas progress stems from
always wanting something better,
and at no time more clearly re-
vealed than during the last half
century. 1t showed a continuous
record of new developments
founded on energy and resorce-
fulness.
In no other country on the
face of the globe is this Spirit
of America in evidence. The sys-
TENS of governments extant
neither encourage it nor sanction
it, because it would destroy the
power of dictators. In America,
under the free enterprise motive,
the people engage in thir tasks
with confidnce and joy. Let no

system deceive you. The American
Way is a God-given way.

Backward America
Bunk!


All the proponents of socialism,
communism and the other what.
have-you isms argue that their
systems offer the common man
greater security land material
benefits. AS AL Smith used to say,
let's look at the record.
England has gone in for social
ism in a big way. And what has
happened? Once a great coal ex.
porting nation, she can now hard
ly produce enough for her own
needs. Her electic power industry
has gone downhill and rates are
higher than under private own.
ership. Her whole socialized eco.
nomy is as shaky as tree in a
storm.
Russia, of course, has gone
whole hog in its version of a
peoples government" to own or
control all productive activity. and
only a miserable minimum of con
sumner goods is produced. Her
retail stores all of which be-
long to the state = are stocked
with only a few necessities and
even these are strictly rationed.
Prices, measured by average earn
ing power, are far higher than
in this country.
Backward America, on the
other hand, still clings to repre-
sentative government and a CAPT
talist economy. The tragic" re-
suits of this are seen on every
hand = the most efficient in0u-
stries on earth, the highest stand
ards of living in the world in
spite of initiation, more leisure
and opportunity for all, retail
stores groaning with every kind
of commodity, and a competitive
system which has to please the
people or go out of business = no
"take 1t or leave it" system.
The socialists have sad story.
It just doesn't make sense. And
yet they are working here to
have government monopoIies sup
plant private enterprise. Will we
fall for it?

Catholic Students to
Boycott Intolerance

DUBUQUE, lowe - Students at
Immaculate Conception Academy,
Catholic academy for girls here,
have resolved to boycott places
of business in which intolerance
of any kind is fostered. The re-
solution has been approved by the
faculty at the school. and stu
dents committee have been sent
to other Catholic schools of the
city to solicit cooperation.
The resolution reads as follows:
I'VE the students of Immaculate
Conception. have pledged our
selves against any intolerance,
whether racial or religious.
We purpose not to patronize
places in which these un-Christian
and un-American views are prac-
ticed. We hope thus to make own
ers of these places realize the
selfishness of such views and re-
verse their attitude. Such action.
however, will not be taken with
out notifying them of our inten-
tions.
By this, we mean no personal
offense to the proprietors of
places where intolerance is prac-
tees, but let it be known we
shall do all in our power to COM
bat such intolerance; for we are
convincend that a definite step
taken against undemocratic rela-
tions will make Dubuque better
place, and better Dubuque
means better world for us, the
citizens of tomorrow"

Two Negroes Ordained
Catholic Priests

COLLEGEVILLE, Mime. Two
Negroes were among the candi-
dates raised to the Catholic priest
hood at st. Johns Abbey here
last week.
They are Father Bartholomew
L. Sayles, o. S. ", and Father
Harvey w. Shepherd, o. s. B.
Both of the priest are members
of the Benedictine Order, centur-
ies-old society of Catholic monks,
which conducts st. Johns College
here and thousands of similar in
situations of higher learning
throughout the world.
Both priests are also natives
of New Orleans, La, and both
studied at Xavier University in
that city.
Father Bartholomew Sayles en-
teret Xavier University, New Or
leans, in 1885, after his gradua-
tion from McDonough No. 50
High School. He was graduated
from Xavier in 1889 with a major
in music. Subsequently, he stud
and at st. Augustine's Minor
Meminary. Bay ST. Louis, Miss.
and st. Johns College, College
vile Mimi. In 1914 he entered the
seminary at st. Johns Abbey
beginning the four-year course in
theology. He finished this course
last month.
Father SayIes is well-known in
New Orleans for his activities in
musical circles. AS a student al
Xavier University, he directed the
University glee club, liturgical
choir and male octet. He also
directed the Gregorian and other
liturgical music at the University
