Wallace is insistent on speaking
only to non-segregated audiences.
This weeks tour started Sun
day, when he LEFT Washington. d.
c. for North Carolina, and was
scheduled to end Sunday, Septcm-
Der 5, after an address in Knox
vile, Tennessee. The trip was
routed through Alabama, Arkan-
sas. Louisiana. and Mississippi.
Wallace's tour followed a trip
to Cincinnati whore he addressed
the national convention Of the I'm
proved benevolent Order of Ellss
and charged that Governor Dewey
has carefully and brazenly white
washed lynchings and attacks on
the citizens of his state
In an attack upon both Dewey
and President Truman for refus-
ing to actively work for civil
rights for Negroes, Wallace said:
Mr.. Truman has been called
upon to take action in the South
against the reactivated Khan, to
send the Department of Justice to
appronend the hooded advocates
of force and violence, but he has
done nothing.
INF. Dewey admits he has the
names OF 1000 members of the
Khan in New York State, but he
refuses to put the light of public
ity upon them
Wallace struck at Truman for
the fact that segregation is not
even mentioned" in the Presidents
order calling upon the military
to study equal treatment and OPP
portunity for Negroes.
u use Mr.. Truman's words
snroviding it does not impair eff
ficiency or morale Wallace said.
Inequality and segregation thus
become the pillars of efficiency
and morale.

WALLACE DENIED CITY AUDITORIUM

The action of the Robinson Auditorium Board of Directors
in denying the Wallace Committee the Auditorium

truth the antquated methods of democracy surviving only

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

1912 E. 7th street
Little Rock, Ark
August 81, 1948
Board of Directors
Robinson Auditorium
Little Rock, Arkansas
Attention Mr. Harvill:
Sirs:
With regard to the refusal of the
Board of the Robinson Auditori-
UNI to open its doors to Henry A.
Wallace, Presidential Candidate of
the Progressive Party of Ameri-
ca, the Arkansas Committee must
register its surprise and concern
over such a denial of the right of
free speech and other constitu-
tional guarantees to an American
citizen as well as to its own local
citizens.
1t would seem that it has been
an accepted fact for more than
one-hundred and fifty years that
one Of the elementary constitution
al rights Of the people is to see,
hear and meet their candidates for
public office, and especially their
choice of presidential candidate.
And we think that it would be
unfair to say that the people of
Arkansas did not accept these pre-
cepts when they chose to Join
their sister states in becoming
part Of the American nation.
The program of Henry Wallace,
that Of peace and brotherhood a.

magazines and newspapers mailed to them from the States mpregnated with holes cut by censors who deemed various stories and pictures threat to the national security.
 Thus stories and pictures circulated generally throughout the nation, withheld from the people of Alaska No sane reason has ever been given Tor this ridiculous application of any program Tor pro- tectng the security of the nation and it's armed forces
 Letters written to or sent by Alaskans were some times hardly more than paper streamers when the censors had gone through them.
 Territorial newspapers had the unique experence of battling with censors who sought to have them edit or suppress stories publised generally in the States and sent them by the Associated Press.
 The experience of Alaskans with censorship was anything but pleasant They the awful decisions made by small fry men who were too ignorant ana indifferent of the public welfare to use dlscreton' Second leutenants found their responsibilities were lighter and fewer questions were asKeo py ther supo when stories were banned than when they were published.
 MT Hoffman's bill, if passed, would set danger ous precedent of concealment that is out of place III a democracy Every Congress, unfortunately, mas US share of stupid bgoted, and kept members. lhls mower of censorship would apply to them, if enough were on one committee exercise it, as well as to the responsible statesmen
 The main gripe of the Congressmen seems to be that newspapers carry stories of their secret sessos The information gets to the newspapers from the Con- gressmen themselves Instead of compelling their own members to shut up" they gag the press with the threat of heavy fine and prison sentence.
 "The press" says MT Hoffman, has no all-n- elusive right and privilege of disclosing information that is detrimental to the country. It might be an swered that Congress has all-incusive right and privilege to withhold information from the country at the caprice of some of it's members.
 We trust that the whole House will make short work of Mir Hoffmans woud-be legal sanction of further secrecy and responsibility in government There is no reason to expect the Congressman would handle the responsibility any more effectively than did the second -leutenants during Word War II.

BEHIND InE RR INJUNCTION

Story behind the Governments last-minute injunction against the railroad strike is the fact that the three brotherhood leaders themselves actually urged this move in a very frank confer ence with Presidential Assistant Jchn R. Steelman just after the President seized the railroads.
 Two of the leaders, Robertson of the firemen and enginemen and Johnston of the engineers, even told Steelman they would not put up to their strike committees the question of going back to work.
 You know what we're up against" declared Johnston. We have our own problems. We are under pressure from all sides. If we asked the men to remain on the job with a lot of these ques- tions still in deadlock, some mem hers might think we haven't done our best for them, which isn't the case, as you know"
 Therefore, explained the leaders, only the issuance of court order by the Federal Government would satisfy the more aggressive ele- ments in the rail brotherhoods.

There was a time, year and more ago, when Zionjsts and Arabs alike were open to grave con- demnaton for their resort to terrorist tactics against the British and against each other Today the position is different It is longer terrorism but open war between the two rival peoples Although the conol- tions of today are tragic in the extreme, it is diff cult to find basis for condemning this resort to armed force.
 The great nations of the world, assembled at Lake Success have met, pondered, pontificated and then reversed themselves. And even when they nave agreed on a policy for Palestine, they have failed to nrovide any means for enforcement of that policy.
