In tn latter case, Judge War
ing held illegal the refusal Of the
Democratic Party of South Caro-
lima to allow qualified Negroes
the right Ia participate in the
Democratic Party primary.
Judge Upheld
Judge Warnings decision was
sustained by the Fourth Cir
cult Court of Appeals and the
United States Supreme Court
refused. last April 10 review

Following these decisions. the
Democratic Party of South Ca.
rolina determined 10 continue
iis infringement upon the right

mary. So
Pursuant TO this aim, the party
passed rules prohibiting any Ne
gro from joining Democratic
Party clubs, requiring that every
Negro upon registering present a
general registration certificate,
and requiring every member OF
the Democratic Party to take an
oath to uphold racial segregation
and oppose federal fair employ
ment practices legislation.

BOWLES KEEPS BOWLING
ALONG

The President and former OPA
Administrator Chester BOwles have
issued warnings that the country
is moving into a depression. -
BoWles had many suggestions,
none Of which seem to be at all
convincing. Among these hold
overs from the OPA days was a
proposal that the Government
should continue rent controls, for
at least another year, and broad
en- social security payments to in
clude self-employed domestic help
and farm workers" He also rec
commended that the Government
should enact a national health in
surance plan.
There's no use to remind you
that all Government political cir
cles are packed with imaginative
politicians like Mr.. BOwles.
Have we lost our balance? Can't
we understand that the American
Government is right up against
the same kind of a crisis that it
has experienced before in the last
century?
Bowles has spread his message
too often-tO millions of people
in which he insists that the Uni
ted States is about to pay the
price Of procTastinatiOn." Be-
meath this wailing headline he
backs the program that our Gov
ernment must use its wealth. and
resources to pull every stricken
nation out of the hole. That's one
Of the greatest pipe dreams of the
wear.
