1t was noIsrd about when Tru-
man first took his civil rights
stand that certain elements in the
south would revolt and say mean
things about him Truman simply
replied that he was elected to up

United States and that he did not
give a damn what they said
To date MIR. Truman still had
not given his damn. There are a
lot of people in this country with
votes to cast who rather like a
man who takes a stand for God
and righteousness and who does
not particularly give a damn what
the heCklerS say or do.
Truman Is on safe ground, why
should he give a damn He has
the Bible on his side; he has de-
ccncy and civic righteousness on
his side; he has the constitution
on his side; he has time and right
on his side; he has God on his
side.
There is another side to this
matter that we are tempted to
forget and that is, there are mil
lions Of whites in the south who
are not Dixiecratic in their SYM

ing to support him in this cam
paign.
If the Sizeable voting contingent
of the white south is added to the
slzeable voting contingent of the
Negro south there IS a possibility
that Harry Truman may be swept
back into the White House on one
+ the most miraculous political
tides of history. Negroes who ad-
mire Truman and who plan to
vote for him must refuse to be-
!icve this hokum that he is al
ready a political dead bird. Far
from it. With the Negro vote solid
and the vote of the white south
split most decidedly, Truman has
more than the proverbial gam
bling chance.
Truman has something of the
Roosevelt spirit in his national
outlook and we need just such an
outlook today. Honestly this writ
rr is afraid of the Republican
party and therefore afraid of
Dewey who will be its rubber
stamp. If he refuses to be this
rubber stamp, we shall have an
other case of President and con-
sress at loggerheads. The Repub-
lean crowd that hopes to take
over is the same old crowd that
politically destroyed Hoover and
came near destroying the country.
They may have another standard
bearer but it is the same old Re
publican party that never torgetS
ANYTHING and never learns any
thing. This column is supporting
Harry Truman who refuses to
give a damn even under Dixie
cratic pressure!!!

Granger Seeks Specific
Suggestions for Ending
Armed Forces Jim Crow

Editor: l have accepted mem
berShip on the Presidents Com
mittee on Equal Treatment and
Opportunities in the Armed
Forces without any illusions re-
garding the nature of the assign
ment. 1t is impossible for any
two, or several, Negro representa-
tlVeS on such a committee to &C
cumulate all of the facts and
figures" with which they should
be armed in committee discus
Slons. | am requesting, therefore,
and l know that John Seng-
StaCke will join me in this request
that leaders of the Negro press
make every effort to direct to our
attention pertinent information
which might help to justify the
position which logical racial pride
demands that we assume in COM
mittee discussion.
That position is roughly this:
there can be no question regard
ing the elimination of racial
segregation, as well as other
forms of discrimination, from this
nations armed forces; and it is
probably illegal, and certainly in
tOlerable, for the federal govern
ment to impose racial segregation
upon any Of its citizens. Commit
tee discussion, therefore, should
be addressed not to the question
of whether segregation should be
eliminated but rather how elimin-
alton steps can best be taken and
how soon they may effectively be
put in operation.
Information is, therefore, re-
queSted on particular types Of dis
elimination that are imposed,
whether by official policy in any
of the armed services, or by ig-
noring or violation of official poll
cy by civilian and military lead
erS. Cases cited should be, as far
as possible, typical rather than
exceptional. Names and dates of
perpetrators as well as subjects Of
racial discrimination should be
available.
Any information which you can
forward and which through your
news and editorial columns you
can encourage others to forward
will be greatly appreciated. l
realize in making this request
that l am exposing myself to an
avalanche of correspondence, but
this issue is too important for per-
Sonal convenience or other factors
to interfere with the possibility
of the most effective attack upon
grievouS problem. Thank you
for whatever you and your staff
can do.
