High school. It might be noted
here that even the squeamish, re-
dictionary minded Rev. Horace
White of Detroit spoke out against
Dayton's segregated schools in his
talk before the conference.
This writer knows that some of
those in attendance at. the confer
ence from Dayton were made very
uneasy by what Judge Delaney
said. When he used the term
"Uncle Tom" many persons knew
that the shoe was meant for their
foot. And they knew that it fit
ted, for we have too many Negro
leders in Dayton whose, characters
fit that of the hat-in-hand, head
bowed, ~shuffling, "Yassuh-boss"
type so beloved by race-baiting
white Americans. It is not meant
to cast aspersions onthe majority
of Daytonians, only a small min
ority who are that way. But they
happen to be powerful by virtue
of their influence among the white
powers-that-be.
It is offtimes constructive to
hear the truth about ones weak
nesses. If Judge. Delaney seemed
blunt, it is only because the stu
alton here makes it impossible to
be otherwise. It is hoped that an
improvement will take place as a
result Of the Judges fighting
speech.

weekend turned out to be just
the opposite when Wilbert J. Jor-
dan, AZ, of 80 Hawthorn st. was
shot in the face, right arm and
leg by what he termed an "un-
known assailant" with a shotgun
in front of 1860 Washington st,
at 7:l5 yesterday.
According to the reports, the
gunman ran into a bar neal the
scene and was chased out by Rich
ard Barnes, the bartender who
threatened the suspect with a re-
volver.
The usuel weekend thefts were
reported in the following manner:
A jewelry box containing many
valuables was reported stolen from
the home of R. w. Reed, Of 926
Rodgeview Road. Entry was made
by forcible EMERY and the box
taken from a dresser drawer, ac-
cording to Reed.

Tito Aide Says Soviet
Steps Up Cold War TO
Bar Trade With West
By the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Sept.
ii. - An important Yugoslav
spokesman claimed today that
Russia has stepped up her cam
paign against Marshal Tito's gov
ernment because she wants to
block Western trade agreements
with Yugoslavia.
Vladimir Bakaric, president of
the Croatian Republic. said Rus
sia seeks to discourage other
Soviet satellites from following
the same independent line as Tito.
Bakaric, quoted in the official
Communist newspaper, Borba,
said the whole campaign of the
Cominform now is designed to
create feeling that Yugoslavia S
position is unsafe.
The Croatian leader outlined
Yugoslavia' position N speech
at Pain, on the Istrian Peninsula
and declared "the present situa-
ton does not frighten us"
I'VE are going to fight with
honor" Bakaric added, "for build.
ing up Socialism in our country
and do everything possible unit
equal relations have been estab.
lished among the socialistic coun.
tries"
Analysis Considered Sound.
British and American diplomatic
observers in Belgrade considered
Bakaric's remarks a seemingly
sound analysis of the current sit
uation-but none would say wher
it might change from a war o1
words into something else.
From here it appeared Moscow
is gambling on the possibility that
an economic boycott will bring
Tito's government to its knees
before Western financial deals car
become effective.
Bakaric's remarks came as the
Tito regime approached the point
of concluding a big trade pact with
Britain and while a World Bank
Commission continued its inquiry
here on Tito's request for a major
loan.
In the background is the Soviet
attempt to apply an economic
squeeze on the Belgrade govern
ment, amounting to almost solid
sanctions from Eastern Europe
