Dixiecrais Tells
What 10 Fear If
Truman Is Elected

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. Z. "a
NP)-The fear of a south where
segregation and discrimination will
not be tolerated if President Har-
ry S. Truman is elected in No
vember was expressed by Preston
Parks here last week.
He spoke to a group of 80
persons at a backyard meeting of
the newly formed States Rights
Democratic committee. He said:
what will happen if larry
Truman enforces his social revo-
luton?
"There'll be elimination of seq
regation in the public schools. Ne
groes will guide, teach and asso-
ciate with your children. From
elementary through college curses
even in private schoolst-he BIZ
racial ruling will be enforced.
"All segregation will be done
away with in the armed forces.
Men about to be indicted will
eat together, sleep together. The
result will be a sullen disorgan-
lied rabble, not a disciplined
army.
Negroes will build where they
want to, live in any apartment
they want to. There'll be no seq
regation in hospitals, either as pa
tients or as ~staffs."
Parks urged the group to send
delegates to the Dixiecrats' state
convention September 16 to sup
port their program.

After Labor Day
Comes Fall

Labor day generally marks the
the end of the summer season and
the commencement of the fall.
Taking stock of our campaign last
winter and spring for residents of
this community to improve on
their conduct we can happily re-
port goo d results. Not the best to
be sure, but good. The Daily Ex-
press takes pride in whatever lit
tie it has done to bring about this
Improvement.
Particularly are we proud of the
success of our efforts to cut down
the number of shootings and
knifings. Our readers will recall
the disgracefully large number of
deaths and woundings that &C.
Cured through the summer and
fall of 1947. Every Monday morn
ing the newspapers were filled
with accounts of the weekend
orgy of violence. One almost
/ dreaded to walk the streets fol
fear Of getting struck by a stray
bullet.
This past summer, however, was
conspicuous by it's relative absence
of that sort of thing. There were
crimes of violence, but they def
initely were not as frequent a!
last year.
We sincerely hope that tn,
trend which is underway will con
tinue to go along in the right di
rection . The it is relatively low
err, it is still much too high. Will
the increased cooperation of al
our citizens we can do the job il
the coming months which is neces
sary if we are to advance as
race.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z. GAN
P)-Proof that Satchel Paige is
the biggest drawing card in base
ball this season was evident Mon
day night when some 5000 cha
grined fans were turned away
from Griffith stadium after the
park had been filled to capacity.
Sports lovers began to pour into
the park several hours before the
scheduled time for the Cleveland
Indians to meet the Washington
Mats and continues to flow in un-
til some $4,000 people had
jammed packed the stadium to
the point where no nor could
be admitted.
The spectators who were for
tunate enough to get inside were
bedazzled at the way the slender,
nonchalant Negro Highlander
pitched Cleveland to a 10 to l
victory. The Mats seemed defud-
died as Paige changed his pace in
pitches, first teasing them with
slow moving balls and passing
them by with fast mes that made
them look as silly as a bunch OF
sandlot school boys.
The throng got a tremendous
thrill out of seeing Paige try to
outrun a short hit in the 4th inn
ing. arriving at first base three
steps too late. They got another
thrill when he whacked out a clean
single to center, n of the IL
hits for the Indians.
Although Larry Dolby, the Other
Negro member Of the Indians who
for so long was in the limeligh1
is now seemingly playing secone
fiddle to Paige, he is still playing
top-notch baseball. 1t was Dolby
who made the first score in eacl
of the two games played at thu
stadium Sunday. Dolby scored TIVE
of the 10 runs made in Monda!

one in the 9Th inning. 1t wa

here Tuesday before the team op-
ened it's esason against Brooklyn
last Friday.
After a month of training which
included three exhibition games,
Coach Ray Flaherty used his

Three of the latter remained

the Yankees featured two col

itual and internal matters. It will
have the right to be heard by the
King in all disputes involving rit-
ual questions, and will be consulted
before any laws are introduced in
Parliament affecting the spiritual
life of the church.
According to Norwegian church
leaders, the proposed new law will
climax more than 100 years strug-
gle for church reforms, and will
mark the beginning of greater and
more active participation by lay
men in the church's work.
Danes Set Up Committee
In Denmark, a special commit
tee has been set up by the parlia-
mentary group of the Conserva-
tive Party to study church-state
relationships.
Headed by F. Fibiger, former
Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs,
the committee includes a profess
sor of theology and two clergymen.
All are active politicians.
Informed circles in Denmark
believe the committee will intro
duce bill next autumn providing
for greater independence of the
church from the state. The bill is
expected to assure the church au-
tonomy on all matters except fl
nancial ones, which still would be
determined by Parliament and the
Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs
A major proposal of the COM
mittee, it is anticipated, will be
that a church council, similar to
the one recommended in Norway
be established.
Formation of the committee was
seen by religious leaders as the di-
rect result of a new Danish law
permitting women to be ordained
as ministers.
Opposition Aired
When the law was passed, objec-
tions were raised by large group
of clergy and laymen who regard
ed the act as contrary to ecclesi,
astical tradition.
During hearings on the bill. op-
ponents charged that left-wine
parties in Parliament showed nc
conjunction about passing laws

Great Economic
Expansion Noted
In North Sweden

STOCKHOLM. - Poor Norr-
land" as the north of Sweden was
formerly called, has become the
economic backbone of the country,
said Mr.. Elof Lindberg, Governor
of the province of VaSterbotten,
when recently demonstrating to
the press some phases of the rapid
development at present going on in
that part Of the country. Norrland
today produces forest products of
all kinds. steel, copper, arsenic,
etc Farming is booming, and even
tomatoes and strawberries are now
cultivated around the Arctic
Circle, where they are made to
ripen in the 24-hour day-night of
the Midnight Sun.
One of the largest of the new
projects under way is the extension
of the state-owned Norrbotten
Ironworks at Lulea, which aims at
an annual production of some 400
900 tons in 1851. This plant in
cludes a foundry which already
supplies some rs per cent of the
country's requirement of cast pipe
fittings. The production of the Lu-
lea works is based entirely on the
high-grade iron ore from the Lap
land mine fields.
The Roliden Mining Company is
another major industry in North
Sweden, producing copper, lead,
gold, and arsenic, the latter used
extensively for wood impregna-
ton. The company is now extend
ing its copper and lead works and
building a new research laboratory
at an estimated total cost of some

Church-State Relations Are
Under Debate In Scandinavia

Church-state relations in the
Scandinavian countries are under
increasing scrutiny by religious
and political leaders.
Recent developments in Norway,
Denmark, Sweden, and Finland in
dicate that the churches in these
countries are seeking greater indie
pendence from the state. The trend
is especially significant in view of
the fact that in each country the
Lutheran Church is the official
state church.
In Norway, far-reaching changes
in the internal administration of
the state Lutheran Church have
been recommended by special
governmental commission set up
in November, 1945, under the
Craftsmanship of Bishop Eivind
Berggrav, primate of the church.
The commissions report is expect
ed to form the basis of a new law
by Parliament to be made effect
i've next year.
Church Council Proposed
One of it's most important rec
concentrations concerns the estab-
Iishment of a church council, to
consist of rs members, the major
ity of whom will be laymen. The
council will include nine clergymen
and two theological professors, but
only three of Norway's eight Lu-
theran bishops will have seats.
The council will meet once year
and will be the supreme body of
the Norwegian church in all spir-

Swedish Parties
Appeal To Voters

STOCKHOLM, August 10 (By
airmaiD - The Swedish election
is now in full swing. The Liberals
and the Conservatives play leading
parts as critics of the Government
and the Social-Democratic Labor
Party which it represents. A some
what milder form of opposition is
offered by the Farmers Union.
The Communists are being fought
by all of the four major parties,
and not the least by the Social
Democrats who hope to take votes
from this faction The elections
will be held on Sunday, September
10.
In their election manifesto the
Social Democrats assert that the
balloting will decide whether 1.-The
characterization of society in So
cial, economic and cultural re-
spects which has long been going
on under Social-Democratic lead
ership is to continue undisturbed."
The Peoples Party or Liberals, on
the other hand, accuse the Gov
eminent of trying to escape the
responsibility for the many serious
blunders committed during the last
few years." and of refusing to in
form the people of the significance
and consequences of the socialist
policy which the SocialDemocrats
according to their so-called pro-
gram Of principles, pursue" The
Conservatives, in the opening SEN
tence of their platform, say that
it is time for the people to speak
up.
The Social-Democratic election
program does not mention any
plan for specialization. In a recent
address the Prime Minister, Tage
Erlander, who also is leader of the
Social-Democratic Party, said that
if the Social-Democrats stayed ir
power they would probably in
crease public influence in the fields
of banking and insurance. He also
expressed himself in favor of 6
more active housing policy on the
part of the Government as we'll as
the municipalities.
In the 1914 elections, the Social.
Democrats lost 10 seats, so thai
they now hold exactly one-half OF
the total, or lis. The Conserva
tives have SO, the Farmers 35, the
Liberals 26, and the Communists
Is. In the municipal elections If
1916, the Liberals polled more
votes than any other party except
I the Social Democrats.
