AS one colored inhabitant told

always been the Jumping Off
place for Negroes from the
South"
This element Of the population
has not always been an asset to
Columbus, too often a shiftless

The white population is largely

a farm state and crops flourish
in its fertile soil. Vegetables and
fruits are very good and very
cheap.
Columbus has a housing prof.
ect inhabited by colored people,
providing they do not earn more
than $4,000 a year. This makes
housing difficult for the middle
class citizens who generally earn
more than $1,000 per year and yet
not enough to buy their own
homes and so they are relegated
to poorer districts and housing
II would be well to consider this
group in future housing plans.
There are a number Of colored
business establishments, some
outstanding, many obscure. One
Of the finest examples of Negro
achievement is The Kilgore Lin

business. They employ around
200 Negroes and many white
workers. The founder died a
short time ago. Some of the
colored people complained that
the firm had a white president,
but their trade was two-thirds
white and it was good business to
cater to the majority group. Mr..
Kilgore paid all his employees
a substantial bonus every Christ

There is the Whitaker Under

a beautiful building and enjoying
a fine success, and four other
such establishments Of common
Surate beauty, all outstanding.
There are other mortuaries of
lesser Importance.
The four Tyler" drug-stores
owned by a Mr.. Tyler, a colored

as any white owned drug-stores.
Colored people are employed in
many business establishments.
Negro employees are upgraded,

ARABSARE

Reported Surrounded in Strategic Er RdmbIe, 0f-
 fer 10 Surrender
(By The Associated Press)

Israeli troops fighting to open the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road said Arabs surrounded in strategic Er Ramle have offered to surrender. The fall of the town would open the way to a two way assault on Latrun, the bloody last barrier blocking the road.
 In another considerable success in the renewed war for Palestine, the Jews captured Lydda and its airport, the largest in the country.
 The Arabs advanced 10 miles along a l2 mile front in the Gilboa Hills between Jenin and Haifa, seizing seven villages.
 Jerusalem was dive bombed by two Egyptian planes which seemed to be aiming at Jewish airport. Tel Aviv and eight Jewish settle ments also were raided, the Egyp- tian Air Force said.
 Both the Jews and Russians crit icized Count Folke Bernadotte, the U. N. Mediator who brought about the four weeks armistice which ended last Friday. The Jews as- serted he apologized for Arab ag- gression and prejudiced the Pales- tine negotiations.

"5fati( Defense'' of Alaska Is
 Announced by Armys Deputy
 Chief of Staff on Inspection

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 12- R-The army's deputy chiAf of staff said today the new draft act will make army ground forces avail able for static defense of Alaska for the first time since the Japanese were driven from the Aleutians.
 The officer, Gen. J. Lawton Col lins, made this comment as he con- cluded tour of territorial military installations with inspection of air force bases near here.
 The four-star general was &C., companied here by Gordon Gray, Assistant Secretary for the Army, and It. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler, Chief of the Corps of Engineers. It was the first trip to the territory for all of them.
 Both Gray and Collins said they did not see any immediate danger to Alaska as an outgrowth of tense relations between the United States and Russia in Berlin. They adhered, however, to the conviction expressed by some other military leaders that in event of any hostilities with foreign powers Alaska would be in a position 10th strategic and. from a defense standpoint, vulnerable.
 That vulnerability, Collins said, will be diminished by two factors: approval by Congress of appropri- ati1ns for increased military hous- ing ID Alaska, and the draft act it. sell.
 Even had foot soldiers been avail able previously to send to Alaska for regular tours of duty, Collins said, these were no housing facili- ties to accommodate them. Appro- priations totaling more than $4O,- 0CO,000 for the army, air force and navy quarters in Alaska were in- oluded in bills passed by Congress along with the conscription meas ure in the final days before adjourn ment June 20.

PHILADELPHIA, July l2.-tR- Democratic platform members were reported today to have drawn a preliminary civil rights plank bid ding for party unity through a revival of the 1944 race stand.
 But there were no immediate signs whether the proposed com promise can stop convention floor fight-between Southerners and self-styled liberals" that could determine whether the Dem ocrats will be one party or two in November
 The tentative platform draft, drawn by a 7-man subcommittee and yet to be approved by the Remember full platform commit tee and by the convention, was held in secrecy.
 Southerners were said to have lost their fight in the preliminary drafting group for states right plank. Previously Democratic Chairman J. Howard McGrath said the administration might be willing to go along on such plank if it did not "nullify' the civil rights proposal.
 Senator Francis J. Myers, of Pennsylvania, platform committee chairman, described the super-sec- ret document as following 'gener- ally in outline, the philosophy of the New Deal - Roosevelt -Tru- man platform.
 It remained to he seen whether the words the sleepy-eyed drafting committee of seven came up with at 3:30 am, would please either side in the red hot civil rights battle
