Ferris, who likes to look back on the
good old days when there was 8
first-rate outdoor track meet every
week. isn't quite sure that it wasn't
mistake when the national cham
pionships were shifted to July from
their old September dates.
It was done for the benefit of the
collegians, of course, SO they could
compete at the end of their spring
season without training all summer
But it probably deprives lot OF
lids of the chance to develop during
the summer competition Ferris
says.
During spring training manager
Ted Lyons of the White Sox pre-
dicted that his former employee,
Thurman Tucker, would wind up as
Cleveland's regular center fielder
which is batting 1000 in the pre-
diction league.
Cookie Lavagetto, cut off the Dod-
ger roster in Philadelphia, probably
set a record of some sort when he

Omaha Woman Condemns
Bah. StaSSen and Ike;
Cites Rights Stand

Editor: Will you please print
this letter so the people may know
the facts.
Your Senator Joseph H. Ball
went on record against part or all
Of the Civil Rights measures. He
definitely gave a death blow to the
hopes of the Negro citizens and
feel that the Negroes Of Min
nesota should know how Senator
Ball stands. In my opinion he's no
friend of the Negro.
And your Ex-Governor Harold
Stassen was asked about the Civil
Rights program and he said a few
words and lightly passed it over
which seemed to show that he is not
interested in democracy for the
Negro.
And last but not least in the April
3 edition of the Omaha World Her
aid Gen. Dwight Eisenhower says he
i, for segregation in the army and
he is also reported to have said he
would never put colored man in
u position Of authority over white
man. I'm telling you this 50 if they
try to draft Eisenhower for Presi-
dent" every Negro should fight it
with all his strength and might.
You now know where the above
mentioned people stand. We should
fight them at every turn.

Two Sets or Rules
For it goes to the heart of what
| have called the rules of the game
for American living. The episode
at the Birmingham church sym
bolized what happens to millions
OF Americans, who have been fore
ed into something approaching a
caste system We have one set OF
rules for whites and another for
Negroes In effect. that means a
nation divided against itself. Such
a nation is in peril unless 1t can
resolve the division.
It can. And here come to the
final piece that fits into the mosaic
of meaning in the Birmingham
story.
For the Jim Crow rules are be-
ing challenged all the time and
being challenged successfully. That
is the thing to remember. They
were challenged successfully by the
overruling of the White Primary
evasion in South Carolina just two
weeks ago They were challenged
on Monday by the historic Supreme
Court decision on restricted cove
nants against Negroes in the hous-
ing field The Birmingham story
Is part Of this larger campaign OF
history. Thus far it is defeat.
but it will not remain a defeat for
long.
Consider again what happened.
This is the first time in the history
OF our present era that Senator
Of the United States has dared to
challenge the tradition Of segrega-
tion in the South No amount Of
Senatorial freezing-out Of Taylor
can wipe out that fact Some day
the fact will be one for the history
books az will the whole Jim Crow
system
America is on the move, and
the pain and injustice are part OF
the price We are paying on the
