Vandenberg was the choice of two,

Taft polled only one on both counts.
All the others were out of the

The Southern Democrats, noting
Mr.. Truman's rise in the national
polls, were speculating he might
rewin the South by dropping his
civil rights program, but do not
think he will prejudice his liberal
following by doing so. There was
talk about an unnamed Democratic
dark horse.
An Impertinent Question.
This columnist has been tempted,
but has resisted, to ask candidates
represented at Portsmouth an i'm
pertinent question: Why do you
want to be President?
Mr.. Dewey obviously does so wish.

Mr.. Truman, who has been
President for the history books,
wants to go on being President.
Senator Taft and Mr.. Stassen are
eager. And Mr.. wallace associates
his candidacy with salvation-with
the dawn Of Righteousness with
healing in its wings"
All this is beyond my compre-
hension. I recall that Lincoln, in
a time OF crisis no greater than
now, received his nomination in
deep melancholy. I wonder why
every possible candidate does not
pray that this cup pass from him.

Robert Schuman is applying the
same strong-arm tactics which
proved so successful when he met
the Communist challenge last fall.
Mr.. Schuman, however, is no
longer a new broom. Traditionally
French political parties get together
for a short while in times OF crises,
but after an emergency is over they
start jockeying for power. This can
be said to be the situation in France
today.
Between Two Fires.
The Schuman government Is be-
tween the fire of the Communists
and the De Gaullists. The latter are
becoming impatient to take over the
government. The Communists know
that, at least for the present, they
have no chance of coming to power,
since their stock Is low with the
rank and file of French people. But
they hope to create confusion in
Frances national life to keep the
European pot boiling.
This weeks strikes occurred IN an
area where the Moscow puppets are
still strong in the labor unions. The
methods and discipline which &C
companied the strikes shows that
the workers followed the time-hon-
ored methods of the Communist
Party.
Conditions in France are vastly
improved over the same period last
wear. There is much more food than
a year ago. Manufactured products
are available in larger quantities and
employment is greater.
At the same time, despite the
propaganda used by the Com
munists in connection with the ef-
fort to reduce European Recovery
Program funds, the French people
are aware that billions of francs
worth of American raw and manu-
factured goods will be available to
them this year.

Brooklyn Dodgers last Friday
from the st. Paud club of the
American association, where he
had been sent early in the season,
Roy Campanella, Sepia catcher,
more than proved his ability as
a long ball hitter, by lamming out
nine hits in II trips to the plate,
including two home runs Sunday,
and greatly responsible for the
Dodgers winning two out of three
Dodgers to 9Th place and three
from the Giants and moving the
full games out of first. Campie,
the 26-year-old power hitter,
smashed his tow homers in the

Giants Sunday. Each roun tripper
came with one on base, giving him
a total of four runs battend in.

end at Minneapolis for the Olym-

weekend. The trials will be held

However, Ed Digger, qualified
in the hurdles, and stands an out

The arrogant lawlessness of the

in Dayton this past Sunday
evening at 9 p. m. At that time
an 8x6 flaming cross was placed
about 10 feet from the entrance
to Highview park at the top of
Germantown hill on the north side
of the road. Then in the manner
of a certain large species of ro-
dents they disappeared in the noe
turnal darkness.
Deputies investigated in their
usual custom, and the local press
wrote not a word. At best, to the
mildly disturbed liberal it is treat
ed as a "regrettable" incident to
be CLOSED over with admonitions
to the culprits who, quite likely,
will go unpublished.
Here there is a reverberating
irony, a whetted, incisive irony.

ming of freedom Of independence
from the tyranny of George the
III and his English tories. On this
date the memory of those great
history makers, the founders of
this vast America of ours is en-
blazoned in fine speeches, in
blazing demonstrations and trib-
utes throughout the land as an
inspiration and a symbol to those
who love this country and who
desire to see it advance always
onward and upward.
Though dead these $50 years,
O how alive are their spirits to-
day! Tom Paine, Ben Franklin,
George Washington, Tom Jeffer-
son-and Crispus Attocks, Negro,
first American citizen to die in
the Revolutionary war for Ameri-
can independence.
If the local khan thinks for one
minute that their puny flaming
cross can burn out the inspiration
to struggle against all forms of
tyranny that is the legacy of these
true American patriots, then it
has failed to grasp the logic of
history.
The logic of this incident should
not be to difficult for Negroes to
grasp. 1t is that they should i'm
mediately take steps to organize
a delegation to appear before the
city commission and demand that
some local ordinance be passed
making it a criminal offense to
trespass on other peoples prop
erty to burn crosses. Infantile vio-
lators should be severity punished.
Every attempt by Negroes to ex-
pand their living and recreational
facilities has been met recently
by this cross burning. 1t was only
several months ago when a cross
was burned on Macarthur street,
near the Robson homes.
Like the tick when it gets in
certain areas of the body, under
the finger nail, ETC., this element
should be burnt" out. The khan.
of course, operates with a GER
tain amount of secrecy, but that
secrecy is enhanced by official
turning of the other cheek"
This writer has a lead" to one of
the possible local sources of the
khan. This lead is no underground
thing, it is to a very open and
arrogant organization, a small
newspaper, which each week, has
its columns filled with the most
viscious nati-Negro matter. It is
the type of stuff which should be
officially banned by the govern
ment, because it openly advocates
the very things which stand as OBJ
stacles to Negroes DESTROYS of
gaining full equality.
We call on all Negroes to take
a militant stand against this sort
Of thing, and we call on the city
police department to investigate
and bring these disrupters of law
and order to justice.
