in panic. The tommygunners swung

and grimly they drove the crowd
away from the gate. Behind the
Russians were uniformed Soviet

have done the pistol shooting.
I heard several people we're hit

Allied observers said they felt the

These have been brought to an
explosive pitch by series of Com

The jeep stopped and suddenly
the crowd began throwing stones at
the Russians. The soldiers jumped
out of the jeep brandishing tommy

back. The soldiers got back into the

GRAFENWOEHR, many
Sept. 10.-There is ample evidence
today that American forces now
in Germany would be whipped by a
strong thrust from the East.
This was made plain when the
United States 1st Infantry Divi-
sion was slammed groggy by "at-
tacking forces" after only two days
Of practice maneuvers on the
Grafenwoehr reservation. Officers
watching the operations were openly
dismayed that an aggressor had
knitted through the lines so far ano
so fast.
The mythical problem was this:
An "aggressor" trying to push the
division back to the Rhine River hao
opened up with tanks, artillery ano
air cover. The division was seeking
to sacrifice itself in order to prove
that ground would be lost only al
great cost of time, men and money

Southern Extremity Reaches
Point Of Stupidity

WASHINGTON, March Is. (P
CNS)-It that element of South
erners which is yelping like a
bunch of jackals about "white
supremacy" in America would
cease their ballyhooing long
enough to take a "look-see" and
discover how ridiculous they are
making themselves, they would be
forced to hang their heads in
shame.
Like sirens on fire engines they
scream out protest against social
izing with the Negro, when in re-
atty they are not able to differ
entiate in many instances between
the two races.
A striking example of this in
ability was recently demonstrated
at the twin Jefferson-Jackson din
ners held in Washington, when
news photographers took pictures
of a group of Negroes seated at
a table at the Mayflower hotel.
Because this party was composed
of Negroes of varied complications,
the photographer evidently assum-
ed that this was an interracial
group.
A copy of the photo got a front
page spread in Mississippi's "Jack-
son Daily News" February "a,
with a glazing headline which
called attention to Negroes and
whites eating together. The cap
ton under the picture read, eff

herself in a similar embarrassing
position when she raised a rum
pus about Negroes being allowed
to attend the Democratic dinner
on a 3'non-segregated" basis. AS
an act of protest she refused to
attend the dinner because she
might have to sit beside a Negro.
She did accept an invitation, how
ever, to attend the "pre-dinner"
tea given at the White House for
the Democratic women, presuma-
bly, because she thought there
would be no Negro women among
these 500 contributors. Mrs.
Thomasina w. Johnson, chief of
Minority Group Section USES,
however, was among the guests at
tending the White House tea.
Mrs. Olin D. Johnston must
have had a fred face" when she
discovered that she had, perhaps
unknowingly, supped tea with a
Negro woman at a White House
tea party.

the approximately 1900 persons
attending the dinner at the Statler
hotel, when as a matter of fact,
as many Negroes were in attend
ance at the Statler as there were
at the Mayflower. The identity of
these Negroes even scaped the
keen eyes of Washington's alert
reporters.
Then why all the yelling about
racial equality when literally they
are already equal in every aspect,
especially in appearance, culture
and intelligence?
This does not mean, however,
that these persons are trying to
initiate the other race or are by
any means attempting to "pass."
These persons seem perfectly con-
tent with their station in life
it only means that this situation
does exist and is one, over which
Negro American have no control.
