In a lengthy memorandum to

States Rights Are
Held False Issue

The use of Estates rights" in
opposition to the Truman Civil
Rights program by the Southern
revolters" was termed a false
issue" by Mrs. M. e. lilly, At
lanta, Ca, member of the Presi-
dents Commission on Civil
Rights.
Describing the real issue of the
South as farm tenancy and cheap
labor" Mrs. lilly said that pow
erful economic interests have used
the civil rights issue to divert
public attention from the real
problem. The speaker said spe-
officially that oil interests were
involved in the action taken by
the Southern governors at their
Tallahassee, Fla, meeting against
the Truman program.
Resolutions against Mr.. Tru-
mans program were followed in
the action of the governors by a
resolution on the Tideland Oil
question involving the far-off
state of California, and the hand
of the oil interests can clearly be
seen in the maneuver, Mrs. Tilly
said.

The Color Line
FLORIDA NEGROES INCLINED TO CAST
THEIR VOTES FOR DEWEY-WARREN

TAMPA, Fla.--(ANP) Roper
cusslons from a combined South
ern revolt against civil rights and
the gubernatorial administrative
records of Thomas Dewey and
Earl Warren have been impor-
tant factors in swaying $4,000
Negro Democratic votes OF Flor
ida to support the Republican
party nominees In November. ac-
cording to the results of a ques-
tionnaire sent out by the public
relations department of the Unit
ed International Prerss Services
following the COP convention.
The concensus OF opinion was
that Truman was cinch win for
the Democratic nomination d
that his civil rights proposals
were mere political bait to WOO
the Negro vote. However. the fact
that Dewey. as governor of New
York, had melted out several big
important public position to Ne
groes OF that state and that Gov.
Warren has an encouraging rec
ord of recognizing Negro ability.
were the most compelling factors
in their choice of the COP ticket
in November.
A cross-section of Florida's Ne
gro leaders and voters answered
the query to the tune of 4215;
1905 were Democrats, voted In
the last primary election and play
ed an important role in organic
ing voters in their respective COM
munities; 1886 canvassed voters
Of their communities and found
the general trend of voters favor
ing Dewey-Warren over Truman
and any vice presidential candi-
date except Sen. Claude Pepper.
With Sen. Pepper on the ticket
1906 would support the Democra-
lie ticket. At the time, however,
Pepper was declared for Eisen-
hover.
Four thousand two persons made
their choice on the merits of indi-
vidhal candidates. instead of upon
party platform or principles.
OF the Democrats 100 per cent
were solidly sold on their party

SEGREGATION In THE
NATIONS CAPITAL

Kenesaw NJ. Lands, Chicago,
ILL.,, columnist for h Chicago
Sun-Times, told the Institute that
efforts to abolish racial segrega-
ton should center upon the ma
tons capital, Washington, d. c.
Washington Is the great stage of
world events and it must be made
the dramatic center of strategy
on the problem of segregation"
Lands declared.
Washington is the only capital
in the world where it is necessary
to chaperone the representatives
of different powers in order to
save them from embarrassment"
the speaker declared. He said
that the policy of the Federal gov
eminent is drawn into almost ev-
cry aspect of racial segregation in
the nations capital, although the
U. S. Supreme Court recently
ruled against racial housing cove
nants on the basis of their being
contrary to public policy"

Nan Terror Campaign to
Brighten 3rd Party Support

MACON, Ga. - On Wednes-
day night. June 30. a fiery cross
was planted in front Of the home
OF Larkin Marshall, newspaper
editor Of this city and the sena-
torial candidate of the Peoples
Progressive Party of Georgia. He
is the first Negro to run for the
United States Senate in Georgia
since the Reconstruction era, fol-
lowing the Civil War.
The cross was planted a few
feet from Marshall's door while
he was asleep. It was bolted to-
gether and wrapped in burlap,
soaked in OIL He was awakened
by someone tapping on his bed
room window and shed out in
time to see a truck driving off.
Earlier in the day, according
to G. B. Baldwin, campaign man
ager for Henry Wallace, Marshall
had paid off the mortgage on his
house. On Monday he had been
told he would be foreclosed unless
he quit the Wallace movement
and withdrew his senatorial can
didacy.
This was the second cross
planted in front of a Negro home
by the Khan in Macon. Two weeks
before, Baldwin said, the Khan
had burned cross in front of the
home of a Negro dentist. DIR. ID.
T. Walton, a Wallace supporter
who was living in a mixed neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Baldwin also disclosed that
he had learned that the Khan had
timed its national "Klonvokation'
for July 23-to coincide with the
opening day of the national
founding convention of the New
Party in Philadelphia.

Negro Law School in

CHARLESTON, S. CLAMP
Federal Judge ]. waties waring
ruled last week that a new segre.
gated school of law at State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College at
Orangeburg was acceptable as
equal facilities to that offered to
white students In the state.
His decision closed the case of
John H. Wrighten who was seek.
ing entrance into the law school
of the University of South Caro-
lima at Columbia.
On July 121, 1947 Judge Waring
had ordered the state to admit
Wrighten to the university or set
up a substantially equal school
separate from that one.

utilization and would have rather
committed themselves to the Dem
ocratie party candidates II they
felt their conviction would be for
the best general interest of all
voters and the country at large.
Approximately so per cent of
the Democrats felt Truman could
help their cause no more than
Henry Wallace-it would be inn
possible for him to put over any
of his civil rights proposals and
he knew 1t.
On the eve of the Democratic
convention Florida's Sen. Pepper
announced his candidacy for the
presidential nomination on the
Democratic ticket. Casual OBJ
servers on Florida's west coast in
dictate no marked change in the
leaning of Negroes to the Dewey
Warren ticket. General feeling
was that Pepper didn't have a
chance at this late date. Some
feel, however, that Pepper has
been. Is being and will be of more
benefit to developments in Flor
ida as a senator for reelection to
that post.
What white Florida Democrats
will do in November was indicated
here by two important political
bigwigs who intimated a COP vic
tory In November, but that the
party would make a stiff fight to
serve as a stimulus for 1852 come
back.
All in all, 1t seems to be in the
bag that Florida may repeat its
1928 performance = go Republic
can. This, of course. is no feath-
er in the cap of COP leaders in
this state. They have done moth
ing to encourage Negro participa-
ton in their party, but talk about
Lincoln and the Emancipation
Proclamation.
In fact, the poison-iyy treat
ment accorded Negro delegates to
the COP convention in Philadel-
phia has many Negroes on the
verge of changing their party af-
filiation,

DEMOCRACY--U.S.A.

came to Seattle from Chicago
two weeks ago There, I worked
as editor and typist for the julius
Rosenwald Fund In conjunction
with my journalism training at
Northwestern University.
While perusing through the P.-I.
want ad section "a position for a
general office worker caught my
attention. I dashed to the phone
and called to find out whether
Tor not the position had been
filled. 1t had not. l was told to
come in Immediately.
At 1910 I entered the building
which housed the agency RESPONSE
BILE for this ad. There were five
white individuals waiting to be
interviewed. But, as quickly as
the Interviewer finished with the
first client, she came directly to
me.
That told me what l suspicioned.
What can l do for your" she
asked.
THAT depends" I returned.
"Come in here. Let's have a
talk" she added, pointing toward
the office door.
We moved into her office.
II called this morning about
1890 concerning a job for gen.
eral office work. Do you remem-
ber?"
She hesitated. mo, l am afraid
I do not did not answer the
phone, my assistant must have
talked with you"
knew she was not telling the
truth. That voice was the same
one l had heard earlier. She
knew sensed false odor; her
dancing eyes indicated it.
"That job has been filled al
ready. A white boy took it," she
added with great effort.
II suspected as much"
"But we do find jobs for colored.
Take this card, fill it out and
mail 1t to me-"
Mail it?"
"Yes, or bring It In"
Noticing that the whites were
filling out and leaving similar
cards, l retorted, Since I am
here, why not leave it?"
"oh, yes, you can do that"
We left her office.
A few seconds later a white
fellow entered her office. He had
applied for the same position. The
interviewer reversed her story.

The job was open. he white appli-
cant, after Interrogation, was
given a slip Of paper and sent out
to fill the job.
It infuriates me to think that
l spent three years in the army to
help perpetuate this brand of
democracy in "the land Of the
freei"
While we are assailing the
arodies of Italian elections,
French trade unionism and Greek
border disputes, let us not forget
that American democracy succeeds

Text Of Democratic Party
Plank on Civil Rights

PHILADELPHIA-(ANP)-Text
of the revised plank on civil rights
as amended on the floor of the
convention reads:
THE Democratic Party is re-
sponsible for the great civil rights
gains made in recent years in
eliminating unfair and illegal dis
elimination based on race creed or
color.
1.-THE Democratic Party commits
itself to continuing its efforts to
eradicate all racial religious and
economic discrimination.
I'VE again state our belief that
racial and religious minorities must
have the right to live the right
to work, the right to vote, the
fun and equal protection of the
laws on a basis of equality with
all citizens as guaranteed by The
eOh6tAdutiuHs
I'VE highly commend President
Harry Truman for his courageous
stand on the issue of civil rights.
I'VE call upon the congress to
support our President in guaran-
teeing these basic and fundamental
right: 1. The right of full and
equal political participation 2. the
right of equal opportunity of en-
ployment, 3. the right Of security
of person. 4. and the right of equal
treatment in the service and de-
tense of our nation
In place Of the last two para
graphs which were voted into the
platform by the convention, itself,
was the following vague statement:
1--WE again call upon the congress
to exert its full authority to the
limit of its constitutional powers to
assure and protect these rights"
The substitution of the last two
paragraphs to replace this state
ment led to the boiling of the con-
vention by 10 Alabama delegates
and % Mississippi delegates.

the South on cross of civil
rights"
Speaking for civil rights. Mayor
Humphrey said. 1--WE must get out
of the shadow of states rights
and walk forthrightly in the
bright sunlight of human rights"
Outside of civil rights the 1900
word party platform was adopted
without conflict.
Whether the party will lose or
gain Negro votes because of Sen.
Barkley is big question. Some
feel that Negroes will vote for
Truman despite or regardless of
his running mate. Some Negroes
are not SO sure of the senator be-
cause he is a Southerner.
It is generally believed that his
nomination is serving as appease-
ment to bring the South back
INTO the party fold.
Party leaders point out that the
senator and Franklin d. Roosevelt
were good friends. They note that
Barley was long a New Deal
wheel horse" who supported
Roosevelt. Whether this label is
correct or not In influencing votes
can only be determined by the
election itself.
A noticeable figure at the con-
vention was Edgar G.. Brown,
president of the National Negro
Council, and his petition calling
for the outsing of Rep. Rankin
of Mississippi from Congress. The
petition also asked for special
session of Congress to pass such
legilation as FEPC, anti-lynch,
anti-poll tax and other laws.
The abolishing of the filibuster
in the senate and the cutting
down of the South's representa-
ton in Congress was also asked
for.
Now that the President has
called Congress, the nation is
awaiting the action of both par
ties during the coming session.

Notes on S463,OOO, Aid

An exchange of notes between
Secretary of State Marshall and
Chinese Ambassador v. K. Yelling
ton Koo, opening the way for an
immediate start on the $463, ,000, 900
China aid program authorized by
Congress, was made public by the
State Department yesterday.
DR.. Koo's note pledged his gov
ernment's adherence to the "pur-
poses and policies" set forth in the
foreign aid legislation. A detailed
agreement will be concluded later.
Among the questions left for
determination later were terms of
repayment for any reconstruction
assistance extended under the pro-
gram. The note provided that,
when aid is extended in the form
of grants, Chinese currency will
be set aside for use of the United
States in defraying administrative
expenses of the program in China
and for other purposes to be agreed
upon later.
The China aid program will be
administered by Paul Hoffman,
