The Labor View
By George F. McCray for AMP

The average Negro really doesn
believe in sharing the little he gets
with anybody. He believes in a
strong central government precise
ly because experience has demon
strated that the further things are
removed from local control, the
more justice we receive. The Rus
slams will be sorely disappointed

statement that they will find allies

Trainer White To Make
Third Bid Ror
Derby honors

LOUISVILLE, April 30-(AN
P)-Three strikes and out has
been many a baseball players nem-
esis, but to the race horse trainer
Raymond White three strikes may
be just the beginning of good for
tune a week hence. For when
the 18th Annual Kentucky Derby
rolls around May 5, White is 60
ing to make his third bid for the
coveted 100000 Derby prize
and turfdom's hall of fame. And
if he doesn't win this time-well
he'll just have to try again in 1850
Like most of the It's Negro
trainers who earn their living
around Americas racing ovals,
| White who had been training hor-
ses for 20 years, has been hop
ing for II years to saddle a Derby
winner but so far hasn't had much
luck. In 1882 he made his first
try for turfdom's top honor, train
ing Crystal Prince for the historic
classic only to see him finish an
unimpressive twelfth. Again in
1915, he pinned his hopes on
American Eagle, but he might as
we'll have stayed in the barn. He
finished a miserable last.
This year, White, who calls
Pittsburgh home, will be shooting
for the third time for a Kentucky
winner with Bel King, a virtual
unknown, who has yet to win his
maiden race. Ellis unreported
workouts are GOOD" says White,
"that is, as good as any of the 9TH
er Derby hopefuls but we really
won't be able to tell if he is of
good Derby calibre, until after the
race or two at Keeneland in the
next few days"
While Negro turfmen have all

international Politics


groes understan fully what lies
behind the struggle between the
so-called western democracies
led by the U. S. and Great
Britain on one hand and the
so-called Communist powers led
by Soviet Russia on the other.
Frankly, l don't know what
is the Zeal reason for all the
fuss and fury by which the
dangerously cold war between
these powers is carried on
from year to year. 1t seems
that the white people in this
country, being as hypocritical
about democracy as they are
are pouring millions of hard
earned cash into Europe just for
the sole purpose of preventing
the westward spread of the Rus
sian brand of phony democracy.
AS for the Russians, it is hard
to understand just what they are
trying to achieve in Europe.
The preservation and extension
of democracy seems to be the
least of their interests.
This much is certain-we
peoples Of the western world
know the Russians are afraid of
us, distrust us, are actually sus-
picious of us. And each year
we become more fearful of them.
Though we don't know what
lies at the basis Of this mutual
fear, Negro people all over the
world are beginning to feel the
fects of it. For example, the
usefulness of the World FEEDER
alton of Trade Unions as a de-
vice for advancing the welfare Of
Negro workers in Africa and the
West Indies has been completely
destroyed. The fight over the
Marshall plan has caused the Brit
ish and CLIO unions to withdraw
from the federation and to de-
nounce it as a tool of Moscow.
Paul Robson provides another
example. Speaking at a Commu'
mist dominated peace rally in Par
is last week, he made the headlines
of newspapers all over the worle
by declaring N egro people woule
not fight against the Soviet unio1
and that the Truman plan for thu
development of Africa would en-
slave millions of Negro worker
in that continent.
In the minds of most Negroe
there is a small soft spot TO:
Russia because most of us believ'
the Russians do not believe in O.
practice racial discrimination. An'
for this reason and only for thi
reason we do not want to see tn
Russians treated too roughly. Blu
except for this soft spoe, the hear
of the Negro people is stone hare
against Communism.

Senator Hubert H. Humphrey,

the Hotel Association of Washing
ton, D. c., to adopt a democratic
policy in regard to the problem of
discrimination in the Washington
hotels.
In a letter addressed to Frank
E. Weakly of the Hotel associa-
ton Of Washington, Humphrey
said that ga member Of hotel man
ayers and owners have indicated
a desire to share with liberal
minded people our opposition to
discrimination. Many Of them
would be willing to cease their
discrimination if they could be
assured of the support of the
Hotel association"
In urging the association to
adopt a democratic policy, Hum
phrey said that segregation and
discrimination in any form are
alien to the American principle Of
human dignity. 1t is particularly
important that we here in the ma
TONS capital practice our demo-
cratic principles. This is import
ant not only for the welfare of
our own nation, but also vital if
we are to maintain a leading role
in international affairs"
