Wallace Clashes
With colUmnisf
On Race Issue
By CARL T. ROWAN

Henry Wallace's press con-
ference last Friday morning
was characterized by several
periods of irritation for the
former vice president, with
one caused by a Spokesman
Recorder columnist.
Questions Wallace Record
After Wallace's brief "encoun-
ter" with reporters on the Com
munist issue, in his Radisson Hotel
news conference, Nell Russell
jumped him on charges made by
some Negroes that his past record
was at variance with his present
argument for equal rights for
Negroes.
Wallace claimed familiarity only
with the claim regarding his treat
ment Of Negro farmers. He re-
ferred that question to C. B. Bald
win, his campaign manager, and
Farm Bureau head while Wallace
was Secretary Of Agriculture.
Certainly, no other agency ever
did more for the Negro farmer, /"
asserted Baldwin.
Did Wallace RUM
Mrs. Russell then referred to the
claim that Wallace had run when
confronted with a delegation which
included Mrs. Bethune.
~ was on my way to preside over
a Senate hearing and had to hur-
ry," said Wallace, showing first
signs Of irritation.
Bethune Cleared Up RumOr
Incidentally" interjected Bald
win, MRS. Bethune has issued a
statement clearing up that rumor."
Anyhow, let's stop looking into
the past and start looking into the
future" added Wallace.
Wallace Irked
When Mrs. Russell made remarks
with further implications that Wal
lace might be a pretender, his face
Redeemed, he appeared visibly irked
and snapped:
IF you, As 4 writer, wish 70
spread propaganda that am
against the Negro people. that
Is your privilege. Some do. But
! am sure the people will not be
deceived"
His face even redder, he repeated
this remark.
