toward the end of the tireless

evident within the State that

Learning the Hard Way.
Like other Democratic Cover
nors who were swept into office
last November. Gov. Stevenson
has had much trouble with his
legislature. but he is learning
practical politics fast-if the
hard way. He is coming out Of
his ordeal somewhat better. for
example. than Gov. Chester A.
Bowles in Connecticut and the
more youthful Mennen Williams
in neighboring Michigan. both of
whom, like Gov. Stevenson, are
having their first experience in
State government after previous
experience in the field of national
government.
Like Gov. BowIes. nationally
known formerly as OPA admins
traitor. Gov. Stevenson was per-
picked at the outset by the ineffi-
ciencies, slow motion and corrup-
ton existing at the State level.
This he reflected in a speech he
made at the governors confer
ence at Colorado Springs. He
lined up against the States

sion Of Federal and State func-
tionS and aims, and, in urging
that States must improve their
efficiency and methods. said II
don't hesitate to say that public

Such Improvement he has tried
to achieve in his State. He has
had some success in the field of
administrative reform-in improv-
ing civil service; increasing sal
aries Of State employees; integral
ing State welfare agencies to re-
duce duplication and overlapping,
and In moving to take the State
police out Of politics and opening
the way for a merit system.
Field of Social Reform.
In the field of social reform. he
is expecting in the end to get
considerable increases for educa-
ton in the budget.
He lost out in an attempt to
establish State fair employment,

The Negro people are big enough
to forgive you and take you back
to the fold if you're big enough
to admit you're wrong, and I still
say, Paul, ten million Negroes
can't be wrong. Their road is
too hard, Paul, so please don't
make it any tougher than it is.
If you really want to help the
Negro people like you say, then
give up the commies and become

readers, leave you with one

cert, but he didn't. He was either
stubborn old mule, or is really
bought up, lock, stock and bar
rel, by the Rooskys 3.
The first concert Robson
was going to give was cancelled
because Paul got the tip-off from
the stoolies that they were going
to be mobbed if he went through
his singing concert, so he called
it off for a week and got in touch
with his connie friends and they
in turn organized, for this was
just the thing they wanted
worldwide publicity, showing
the U. S. A. democracy at work.
So, a week later, after the un-
successful first concert, the Sec
'ond concert went into effect and
therefore the greatest calamity
to the prestige of the American
people. We, the American people,
have always fought at the drop
of a nickel when the rights of
free speech, or the rights to wor-
ship the way you please, was in
danger. So what happens?. In one
hour, years of building this dem
ocratic country of ours was torn
down in the eyes of the world.
Paul Robson and his followers
had asked Governor Dewey for
police protection. Dewey coin
cided and gave Robson three
hundred police to protect him in
Case of violence, but it seems
mob violence and it's way of
thinking got the upper hand, of
course, only temporarily, for no
stone must be left unturned to
find the culprits and see that they
are punished for trying to be
the avengers of this America and
the American people. The Ameri-
people do not want those kind of
vigilantes and avengers :, :.
while Paul Robson was singing
to three thousand men, women,
and children on an abandoned
golf course, about three thousand
more people known as the mob
were gathered in circle, sur
rounding the concert-goers. First
thing they knew, stones started
flying through the air, hurting
at the listeners, cars were over
turned, clubs were welded, heads
were cracked, blood was flowing,
serious injuries to many who had
to be hospitalized. Who, or what
was to blame for this catastro-
phe? realize that lack of not
controlling tempers was one of
the reasons, hatred for the Com,
munists was another, but most of
all, hatred for Paul Robson and
his remark of going to war along
side the Russians if we were to
60 to war against Russia. That,
think, was the main reason, but
that still wasn't enough reason
to take the law in their own
hands and try to be the protec-
tors Of democracy, for. they ac-
tually were tramping on democ-
racy and dragged it through the
mud and tramped on it. But what
The future outlook., 1949-09-10

makes it worse, the police who
were supposed to protect the
Paul Robson group stood right
there and watched the mobsters
ply their trade of mob rule. Pic
lures were taken to prove that
the police didn't even try to
break it up for at least twenty
minutes. Of course, I don't say
that all of the police who were
assigned to this duty didn't try
to enforce the protection, but,
like I say, pictures were made of
policemen who stood aside and
watched the melee without any
attempt to break it up. It has also
been proved that a number of
veterans organizations were be-
hind this affair. I'm a veteran,
and there are millions of other
veterans who are ashamed of
those veterans up there in Peek
skill for their part in this aveng-
ing episode.
We veterans who fought for
our country to see that no one
can push us around or see that
our rights are tramped on, must
see that this very thing must not
happen in our country also. What
happened up there in the peace
full q mean unpeaceful) Peek
skills was a great blow against
democracy, and in spite of the
fact that Paul Robson has bit
ten the hand that has been feed
ing him, and has uttered many
heated TRADES against his coun-
try in favor of Russia, that is
still no reason why the incident
of the Peekskill tragedy had to
happen. We must let matters
like this stay in the hands of the
upholders of the law and see that
incidents of this sort never hap
pen again, for how can we hold
our faces up abroad and say we
are democratic country when,
at home, we are tearing democ-
racy apart? say, shame on you
people who hate the K. K. K.

thing now. Shame on you, Paul

for the chance you had and muff-

turned out to be. I remember
when you were a good friend of
mine. You still could be if YOU

American than you have been.

Il Love Everybody

Peekskill is small town, situ-
ated in the heights of the Peek
skill Mountains. This town has
always been famous as a resort
for the overcrowded population
OF the famous big resort of it's
neighbor New York City J..
when people talked about the
Peekskill spa, they had in their
minds thoughts of quiet, cool
streams to swim in, trees sway
ing in the rhythmic breeze over
looking the Hudson, But now
when you mention the Peekskill
Fairgrounds, you don't say Peek
skill, New York City's greatest
summer resort; you say, "Peek-
skill, the city of Paul Robeson's
martyrdom . I don't say Paul
Robson is right, for, naturally,
any person of his stature and no
toriety who goes around and
makes the remarks that he has,
and even goes as far to denounce
his own country to the point of
even going to war on the side of
Russia, deserves to get the lick
ing of his life. Paul Robson,
through the blessing Of God, was
endowed with one of the greatest
singing voices in the world, and
through his voice gained world
wide recognition and renown. So
what does Paul do? He gets lined
up with the commies and now
voice or no voice, Paul is one of
the most hated men in this coun-
try. Personally, I do not hate
Paul, for I look upon him as the
lamb who has been lost from the
flock. He must be found again
and guided back to the flock. He
must be made to see what he is
doing to his people; he is worry
ing them; he's making them sick
to the heart, for they also loved
him, for, like Joe Louis, Jesse
Owens, Ralph Bunche, George
Washington Carver, and many
other great Negroes, he could
help the multitude out of the
wilderness and lead them down
the road of happiness, through
the gift that God gave them to
place them in the eyes of the
public. But Paul Robson, for a
while, did what his people want
ed and therefore was loved and
glorified by his people. But, as
of recent years, Paul, through
some unknown quirk of fate,
has done a turnabout, and by the
very same publicity which is
now bad, has threatened to hurt
his people, and will eventually
get hurt himself, not only pub
licly which he now is, but men
tally and physically, and also he
jeopardizes his wife and chill
dren's lives, for he cannot fight
the mob rule. Mob rule came.
