Sport Flashes

Chicago's American Giants, still
hoping to gain a playoff berth in
the Western division of the Ne
gro American league, will close
their home schedule here in Com
iskey par Sunday and Monday,
September A and 5, in a quartet
of games against the famous In
dianapolis Clowns.
Twin bills will be played Sun
day and again on Labor Day,
Monday, September 5, thus bring
ing down the curtain on local ac-
'tivity, unless the Giants gain a
playoff berth.
Before the Giants move into
Chicago for their finale, they'll

pie here to start something, but
never push it through to its con-
clusion. Other cities in Ohio, small
er than Dayton, can be much
prouder Of their accomplishments
in battling discrimination and seq
regation. Warren, London and
Youngstown are just a few that
can be named.
It is the responsibility of the
in Dayton to follow this
swimming pool case through until
Negroes can use the public pools
or no one can use them. A pre-
cedent has already been set. The
supreme court of Ohio has ruled
that a municipality cannot cir
cumvent the law by leasing it's
pool to a private organization.
This is precisely what the city of
Dayton has done to avoid the re-
sponsibility of discriminating
against Negroes.
The inactivity of the local MA
ACP in pushing civil rights fights
to the finish can be indicated if
it follows this swimming pool case
to it's natural conclusions vic
tory for the democratic way.

der contract to henrS "eIem'fe'
the English Colonial Development
Corp, to build and operate the
worlds biggest poultry farm.
Here in the African bush coun-
try, almost as wild today as in
Livingstone's time, Mr.. Phillips is
scheduled to run a farm which
will send to England 28,0O0,OOO
eggs and 100000 pounds OF
dressed poultry year.
Demanded the Best.
Parliament didn't like it a bit
when the Colonial Development

this huge project. Parliament
liked it even less when Mr.. Phil
lips ordered his Matching eggs
(Rhode Island reds) from Middle
sex, Mass, and his equipment,
such as incubators, tractors, etc.,
from the States. But MIR. Phillips
is a blunt man, and he said he
would have no part of the scheme
unless he could have the best.
I asked Mr.. Phillips what gave
him the most trouble out here, so
far from home, and he said hip
popotami.
Not mad hippos," Mr.. Phillips
said, "but fun-loving, young and

ing this or that party leader or
prospective 1852 Presidential can
didate gave the observer the feel
ing that there was something 60

lation to the people OF this coun-
try, their aspirations and their
needs.
The gentleman and ladies as
sembled here are what the bell
boy would call "well-heeled.' y
They truly represent business In
politics and politics in business,
and not the average citizen.
Asks Party's Purpose.
Against this background Repre-
sentative Hugh Scott of Pennsyl-
vania, the much-buffeted retir-
ing chairman, put the $64 ques-
ton.
II know that most of you are
constantly confronted, as I am,
with the query, What does the
Republican party stand for?'"
The fact that this question IS
being asked, and that the blunt
reminder came from a man who
served as the party's political
director in a hard-fought presi-
Dental campaign, is of itself
most revealing of the confused
state of the party today.
Representative Scott suggested
that there is IAN excellent state
ment of party principles and OBJ
jectives IN our 1948 platform.
But still, he said, there is a de-
mand for a re-statement. So he
had appointed a committee to
consider the feasibility" of at
tempting a redraft of the party's
principles. In this, he emphasized,
members Of Congress should have
"a part.
Here, perhaps unwittingly, he
put his finger on the dilemma Of
his party. Yes, members of Con-
gress should be called in because
that is where the party's record
is made. The record shows that
many members of Congress do
