Items OF Interest
From The Counties

La Plata-The Charles County
Grand Jury, recalled last week,
recommended the legalizing of
slot machines, ranies and bingo
and reported that the number of
liquor and gambling law viola
lions in the county were steadily
increasing. Indicating belief
that legalized gambling would
help to solve the situation, the
Jury recommended that the legis-
lative group prepare a bill which
would submit the licensing of slot
machines to referendum and take
the necessary steps to legalize
bingo, money wheels and chances
for the benefit of churches and
civic organizations. They asked
that the aid of State police be
sought in eliminating the present
liquor and gambling violations in
the county.

Opposition To Civil
Rights Strong In Texas

AUSTIN, Texas, April l. GAN
P)-Texas seems to be one of the
leading southern states not in fav-
or of President Truman's civil
rights program-that is, as far
as white Texans are concerned. In
a recent statewide opinion sur
vey, itw asd iscovered that oppo-
sition to the program among white
voters was so strong that a
"white supremacist" would stand
better than a $3.50 chance of be-
coming the President in a popu-
lar election.
However, the poll found that
Negroes, as a group, supported
the Presidents ideas. By major
tiles ranging from II to 80 per

cent, they opposed poll tax as a
requirement for voting, favor no
discrimination in education, re-
moval of jim rules on trains
and buses and equal job oppor-
tunities.
More than two-thirds O fthe
white people, polled stated fatty
they did not think Negroes should
have equal rights, no matter what
the President believes.
Seven questions were asked in
the opinion survey. They were:
President Truman believes Ne
groes should have the same rights
as white people. Do you agree or
disagree or just how do you feel?
Have you heard or read any
thing about the Presidents recent
message on civil rights?"
On the first question whites
voted sc to "A against and Ne
groes SO to l for. Fifty-five per
cent of the whites said they had
heard of the Presidents proposal
as against As per cent. Negroes
voted "a to 6 yes"

New Chest President
Issues Statement

Anthony Haswell, newly inducI-

munity Chest, issued d statement,
this week IN the current Issue OIL
Red Feather, the annual chest
report, stating:
in assuming the presidency of
the Community Chest association
of Dayton and Montgomery coun-
ty, n is inevitably conscious of
both the great responsibility OF
the position and the splendid rec
ords of those who have previously
held the office. 1t is, however,
a great satisfaction for me to
know, from testimony and obser-
walton, that it is a position in
which one can expect the willing
support O fthe, entire community.
Chest agencies benefit every citi-
zen of the county because of this
fact, we have, each year, a large
and enthusiastic team Of workers,
who raise the funds, direct the
agencies, and plan for our future
operation. Because the strength
of the organization is in that team
and the spirit which activities it,
any Community Chest job is a re-
warding experience. I know that
mine in the next II months will
be no exception.
West Side agencies have bene-
fitted from the Community Chest
in the past year to the following
extent: West Side Day Nursery,
$7,741.00; Visiting Nurse associa-
ton, s34,200.OO; Linden Com
munity Center, $4,000; Fifth st.

Georgia Cops Foul
Talk With Governor

CHICAGO, April 1. (ANP)-
Charles Alexander, a representa-
tive Of the Chicago Civil Rights
congress who was sent to Ameri-
U.S., Ca, to attend a hearing on
a new trial for the Ingram fam
lily, was forced to miss his appoint
ment with Gov. Thompson last
week because he was waylaid en-
route to Atlanta by police Of
ficers.
According to MI. Alexander, he
boarded a bus bound for Atlanta,
to keep his appointment with the
governor. Near Atlanta, he was re-
moved from the bus by police,
handcuffed and tied to a post
near a white school for four
hours. He was pointed out to stu
dents of the school as a "nigger
Yankee"
He was finally taken to Jail, on
a charge of disorderly conduct. In
court, he was accused of having
used profanity aboard the bus,
was fined SIT and the rest of the
money he had with him was TAX
en- away. Immediately upon his
release, he returned to Chicago.
Alexander said that evidently
his every move had been closely
watched prior to the incident. The
real reason for his arrest was be-
cause a "nigger Yankee can get
an appointment with the governor,
while the mayor couldn't"
Alexander reported that he has
visited Mrs. Ingram in the Ameri-
Gus jail and that she stated she
would rather be moved to Atlanta
because she did not feel safe and

He also visited the law firm of
Dykes and Dykes, which is repre-
senting the Ingrams. He described
them as being friendly and inter-
ested, but feeling that they could
do better if they had associate
counsel with training in criminal
law. The Dykes are not criminal
