LAMENTABLE WORDS

difficult to conceive of what might have been the
motive of the experience, which caused Mr. George S
Schuyler an associate editor of the Pittsburgh Courier
make the statement published in his paper relative to the
situation in the South and the Negro people living there
Mr. Schuyler says "The colored peopeare better off
TN the South) than any other minority elsewhere with
comparable background Most of what is said and writ
ten about the South is untrue Today it is place of
terror and persecution has it been in many decades
recent tour through Ia states of the South it
strikes me- as elsewhere the biggest handicap Negroes
are encounterlng is themselves-There is little or no evil
dence anywhere the South that Negroes are terrozed
and none have talked with say So"
There is not time, at the moment to compare the con-
dtons underwhch Negro people live in the South to 9th
err minority groups in comparable background Then it
not with comparison that Immediately concerned
1t is the actual condition underwhch the people live that

worse than conditions prevailing other groups is rea-

FINE GESTURE!

In spite of what of may think there signs
that the world of tomorrow will be better world for
everybody to live in The youth of today will to that
Pointing in that direction encouraging news
from two of Americas outstanding institutions of learning
Harvard and Yale.
The Yale football team has unanimously elected Levi
Jackson Negro Captain of their team Jackson the
first Negro to play Yale eleven and it is certainly
distinct honor to have him captain of the team.
The Harvard football team goes one better, when it
elects Negro student Frank S. Jones, varsity manager
of the team Jones has been serving assistant
of the squad at Harvard.
The election Of these two young to executive po
sons the teams of Yale and Harvard is fine gesture
and proves the splendid interracia relationship existing
among of the youth of the nation This action will
be hailed with delight by millions of people the world
1t should appeal to at least other college which
has accepted Negro student but insist in segregang him
even in the classroom.
Here is another example: Ia
The admission of Thomas Gibbs, Negro from Evans
ton, Ill., into the Phi Psi formerly the Massachusetts, AL
pha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi National College fratern
y at Amherst College Gibbs, freshman, was pledged
to Phi Kappa Psi but the National officers expressed dis
approval and he depledged When the college opened
for the fall term thrtyfve members of the chapter vot
ed favoraby for Gibbs This resulted in the suspension of
the fraernys charter by the national executive board
The fraternity stood it's ground abandoning the national
Charter and decided to reorganiZe local group.
Yes, the world of tomorrow will be better world.
Many Incidents point in that direction.

Your Congressman

a balcony to be sworn in by Chan-
ca11or of New York Robert Living
eton in the presence of the assemol-
I'd nonulace. John Adams, the next
president. took the oath of office in
Philadelphia's Congress Hall on
March 4, 1897. Thereafter all inau-
eurations took place on March
until the Lame Duck amendment
went into effect, and President
roosevelt was sworn in on Janu-
airy 20, 1915.
Tn 1900 the seat of government
was moved to the new Federal CITY
on the Potomac, and Thomas JeI-
ferson was the first president to be
inaugurated in the new Capltol. he
strolled to Capitol Hill through what
was little more than a village, was
greeted by the assembled Congress
in tho Senate Chamber and took the
oath of office there. His predecessor
Federalist Adams, did not attend
Jefferson's Inauguration. So far as
I have been able to determine,
every Inauguration ceremony since
Jefferson's time has taken place at
the Capitol with the exception OF
President Roosevelt's fourth inau-
guration. Because Of the war and
because President Roosevelt desired
as simple a ceremony as possible, ne
I took the oath of office in 1916 at the
White House.
President Truman has asked that
simplicity be the Remote of the COM
ing inauguration, but with a dozen
or so committees in charge of vari-
Gus aspects of the program and wy
ing with each other for honors, it
probably will be rather elaborate.
So far, 1 have been unable to get a
definite answer from anyone as to
what the procedure will be-, but I
assume that custom has it pretty
well set forth. Plans for the occas-
ion are the responsibility of the
party whose victory is eliminated by
the inauguration. The Vice Presi-
arily by the Vice President he is

Senator Barley will be sworn in as
Vice President by the president pro-
tenn of the Senate. President Tru-
man will then be sworn in by Chief
Justice Vinson out on the inaugural
stand being prepared for that pur-
pose.
Needless to say, I am looking for
ward to the Inauguration, which
will be the first I have observed. I
only hope that the weather will not
be too bad - maybe. after all. there
was some reason for the former
practice of having the ceremony on

 Their plan fixes the price of dairy and creamery buildings, Anchorage lease, land, equipment and rolling stock, at $151 ,00O. A cash payment of $50, ,OOO would be required, with the principal to be paid over a reasonable period of time.
 The proposal states that should the sale be effected, dairymen will lose their membership in the MVFCA. Existing contracts would be cancelled and new contracts could be entered into on con- modity basis.
 Pending lawsuits and all claims of the dairymen against the NV F'CA would have to be settled on a basis under which the net in- come of the MVFCA as a whole would be divided among profit able enterprises on a proportion ate basis of contribution.
 The agreement cannot be eff fected unless approved by a ma jority of all dairymen now sell ing milk to the MVFCA and by the members of the MVFCA. The purchase contract must provide an option for purchase by the MVFCA, should the dairymen de- sire to sell.

Tar Heels Remain Slight Fovorifes
In SUGAR Bowl Clash With Oklahoma

New Orleans, Dec. 31-(AP)-
Underdog Oklahoma's chances
of beating undefeated North
Carolina in the Sugar Bowl foot
ball game tomorrow appeared
to rest today with the mental at
titude of the Big Seven champs.
There are many among tn e

Independents
Look Good In
First SfQr+

The Scarlet Aces, Roanoke
Rapids independent basketball
team, STAYED off a final despera-
ton threat in the last few min
utes of the game here last night
to defeat the Yellow Jackets,
varsity high school quintet 44-38
in a real thriller.
For the Aces it was their first
start, and they were hard put
in the final stages of the game
to stave off the high schools at
tack. With two and a half min
utes to play the Yellow Jackets
pulled to within one point of the
Aces lead when James Warren
dropped a shot to run the score
to 37-38.
With time running out rapidly
however, M. C. Newsom got a
lay up shot for the Aces and
Wiley Warren cinched the vic
tory with swisher in the fin
al minute.
With more consistent shooting
the Aces moved to an early lead
in the game, but were never able
to get far out in front as the
Jax displayed their best brand
of ball seen this year. At the
half the indepent town team was
ahead 24-20.
A good-sized crowd was on
hand for the game, most of them
partisan high school fans, and
the closeness of the score most
of the way made the clash a real
crowd-pleaser. The high school
quintet, which has been guilty of
some ragged play early this
season, settled down and played
a pressing game which started
paying off with plenty of points
and had the Aces calling for
timeouts.
Experience and superior ball
handling paid off for the Aces,
however, as they began to work
the ball in slowly for good shots
at the basket. Early in the ball
game, the Aces showed a lack of
coordination as a unit as passes
went astray, were stolen by the
alert high school defenders or
shots were made from Wierd an
giles.
Wiley Warren, who last year
played freshman basketball a t
Wake Forest and who is still a
student there, was the hottest
thing on the floor for either team
His floor play sparkled and his
overhead hook shot accounted for
seven field goals and three free
throws for total of II points
! to lead the scoring for both sides.
His knack of passing the ball off
behind him even had his team
mates confused on some plays,
but ne managed to romp up and
down the floor to lead his team
to victory. Bill Shell played a
consistent, albeit unspectacular,
game and racked up eight points
for the winners.
For the Jackets Earl Rock ,
VINO managed to be in several
places at one time most of the
game, led the scoring with 12
points and was a spark plug on
