Seven Whites Bound

F. gced a Negro war veteran to

to The grand jury by Justice of
Pace Harold Brown, on London,
th.., last week, on charges of in
citing a riot. The court action
me after three weeks of racial
trouble here and also brought the
resignation of the city's 3-man po-
lice force.
The charges we're preferred by
Rodney w. Bennett, 37-year-old
excl, who said he was forced
from his home on the night of
Hay 5, by a group of men. He
saia the trouble began May 1,
when a fight broke out between
Negroes and whites. There had
been n other incident the week
before. Sevral days latr, Bennett

Ohio National Guards

most advanced on issues like this
because of the large number Of
industrial centers. Ohio has more
cities with a population of over
100000 than any other state. In
stead, an agrarian state like Min
nesota which should be backward
on these matters is insisting on an
intergrated National Guard. Like
New Jersey, it has put Army Sec
rotary Royal on the spot. Royal
is an ardent proponent Of jim
crow and has indicated he may re
sign if it is eliminated in the
armed forces.
What is required is action from
Negroes and whites all over the
state. Petitions should be sent to
Governor Herbert in Columbus,
requesting that Negroes be ad-
mitted to the Ohio National Guard
on an integrated basis. Letters
and kilograms should be sent by
individuals.
Old Jim Crow has got to go.
This is one way to drive him out.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-06-04

The Ohio National Guard, it
seems not only does not intend
to integrate Negroes into it's
units, it does not even indicate
that it will accept them in any
segregation units. State officials
admitted this week that enlist
ment of Negroes was Tagging far
behind" that of whites. This is
very ludicrous, for in Cleveland,
with a Negro population of no.
900, no facilities have been estab-
lished for the enlistment of Ne
groes. One can imagine how long
a time it will be before Dayton
Negroes are afforded an oppor-
tunity of enlisting.
Perhaps there is some justice in
this after all. Organizing a jim
crow guard is considered by many
to be worse than refusing to ac-
cept Negro enlistments at all.
In many respects the situation
in Ohio is bewildering. Actually,
the state should be one of the

Letter to The Editor
PISTOLS, SHOOTING AND
CITIZENSHIP

I1S oI1OO 1IN1 AMI
CITIZENSHIP
The deplorable situation in re-
gard to shootings and knifings on
the West Side has become alarm
ingly worse in recent weeks. The
brandishing and use Of guns and
knives has become so habit form
ing as to compare with the use Of
cigarettes, albeit the former Of
ten result in death.
AS a resident of the west side,'
I would like to see something con-
crete accomplished toward improv-
ing this condition here. The ques-
ton of why some of the murders
that occur on the West Side have
not been solved was posed several
months ago. An investigation re-
vealed that though the police and
court authorities were lax in many
respects, the total blame did not
lie entirely with them. but also
with the citizenry.
1t was suggested that crime
would decrease with an increase
in the number of police officers.
This may have it's merits, but it
has not yet proved to be the final
answer. Crime never rose because
Of an inadequate law enforce
ment agency, but because of the
social atmosphere in which people
are forced to live. Poverty breeds
crime.
But because poverty breeds
crime does not NEAR that those
born in poverty, discrimination, op-
preston, etc., should not attempt
to rise above these conditions.
This fact is our central point. We
-hould make greater efforts to
improve u private as well as
public actions. These indiscrimi-
nate shootings are indicative of an
immoral recklessness and uncon-
Germ not only for our own well
fare, but for the welfare Of
others.
Oh, to what depths have we
plunged ourselves when we wit
ness a man shooting a pistol at lit
tie children to drive them out of
the only park they have to play
in. What is fairly screeching at Us
for action is the organization of
neighborhood groups, two or three
blocks to each group, especially in
the more congested and seething
areas.
Meetings could be held period
cally to discuss the problems that
require immediate attention, to
formulate ways and means of pro-
noting good will and amity among
neighbors. Constructive criticism
could be passed amongst the in
dividuals of the groups, so that
such things as shooting and knit.
ings might decrease.
Those among our leaders who
are fighting for our rights al
American citizens r retarded il
their efforts by the adverse af.
feet on the minds of whites en-
gendered by our shooting par.
