Demands President and His Representatives
Extend Democracy In District Fairgrounds
To the Editor Of The star:
Recent editorials and new stories have
done much prating about the significance OF
custom and mores In perpetuating discrimi-
nation In the Washington community.
In my experience. 1t was hardly mores and
customs which prevented my friends and me
from enjoying the splendid recreational IA
eilities at Rosedale last summer. Indeed
not! It was . District Of Columbia police
man with q Recreation Board Playground
Director at his side who showed me around.

prevented all Of US from peacefully entering
this public playground.
It is my opinion that the people In the
Nations Capital are far more decent and
democratic In their mores and customs than
Mr.. Wender. Mr.. Barrett and the violence
minded hoodlums they seem to encourage In
the community would have US think.
Young people here In Washington. as else
where In America. are striving TO put an end
to discrimination and segregation. They are
truly building democracy. And Il is time that
President Truman and his appointed author
tiles In the District recognize 1t also by
extending democracy to all Fairgrounds In
Washington. LOIS .. KURRIER.

only about ten days previously.
The news item is from the Sunday Dis

People are still talking about Congress
man Daniel Flood making 4.e0o-miie plane

In View of Many Assaults

TO the Edltor of the Star:
certainly agree with "A Washingtonian

does seem as though Washington police are
more interested In collecting fines for Illegal
parking than In trying TO save innocent lives.

sitters, but always to demand good refer

To the Editor Of The star:

Infestation must be dealt with thoroughly.
Why go over the springs and mattress alone
without going over the wallpaper and base
board? Our poor efforts TO clear out COM
munism have been hampered by cries about
civil rights, free speech. etc. They're rights
our country has given those who are using
these rights against us. ~
We can now use the word purge" because
we are infested with vermin, and for that
there is no cure except thoroughness.

that Negro children are not pro-

On the other hand, the NAAcP

four reasons for the South's spec

tivities:
!. The presence in the South,
and particularly in the rural
South, of large numbers OF Ne
groes as slaves and subjugated free
men for 300 years.
2. The rural and small town COM
position of the South, resulting In
lack of organized police pro-
lection and an accompanying
need for self-proteetion.
3. The largely Scots-Irish and CO.

Southerner with their traditions
of elan unity and exaggerated no.
tons of personal honor.
