Placing most of the blame up
on the American attitude toward
foreigners, DR.. Brown declared,
Because the American mind has
been discolored, the Puerto Ricans
feel they are being hemmed-in."
The results of the two-year
study listed several erroneous
notions, among them that all Puer-
to Ricans are loud, carry knives,
are ignorant because they speak
little English and that "sox is the
national pastime Of Puerto Rico
as baseball is in the states.

Mounting restlessness in the
African population is Characters
tic of many territories in Africa,
and a great many uprisings and
riots are likely to occur there in
the next few years : or even
months. Deep dissatisfaction with
existing conditions has erupted in
to violence recently in widely Sc
parated places. In the Gold Coast
some months ago an organized
march on Government House was
stopped by the police, with a num-
Der of casualties among the march
ers. A general and largely spon-
taneous strike of African work
ers in Souther Rhodesia closed
most industries for several days
last year. Rioting between Indians
and Zulus in Durham six months
ago resulted in nearly $50 deaths.
Most serious of all, a revolt in
Madagascar last year exacted a
death toll, from all causes, esti-
mated by competent observers to
be at least 10000 Africans, and
probably more, though almost no
information has been allowed to
reach the outside world. There is
every indication that these SYM
toms of unrest are foreshadow-
ings of more serious conflicts yet
to come.

pr0ximately 125 members OF a
group whose views r seldom

loise and his efforts to bring the
fight game into the trade union
movement.
Of all the working people in
America who need to join a good
union for their own protection,
the sharecropper and the prize
fighter arethe most outstanding.
That's why every boxer : : parti-
cularly the exploited Negro fight
err : should show some interest in
the Belloise drive or some other
good organization. When Steve en-
tered the ring to disrupt the am
billions Of Sugar Ray Robinson,
we were pulling for him to lose,
and he did that. But this time we
are with the Belloise camp.
Some fighters may resent the
comparison of a boxer with a
sharecropper, but that doesn't re-
Coast, where the situation seems
to be very nearly ripe for violence.
Constitutional procedures are still
relied on for the most part, with
considerable skepticism, in those
British territories where Africans
have some access tothe franchise
and a measure of political repre-
sentation. African trade unions
are beginning to develop in sew
eral countries, with little help -
and frequent opposition = from
their European counterparts; col
lective bargaining and organized
strikes may at length be effective
channels of African expression.

: Mr.. Tucker. however, wanted
steel plant He put in five bids
for surplus plant at Cleveland
Ohio. The only other bidder at
that time was Republic Steel Corp.
When the WAA took some time
to look over these bids, MIR. Tucker
said big steel and auto lobbies''
and somebody in War Assets" was
attempting to block him. He said
he began to feel pressure, a little
stiletto, working" The WAA re-
jected both bids and later leased
the plant to Kaiser-Frazer.
That was in January, 1948. In
March the first annual stockholders
meeting was attended by 1,647 in
dividuals. That morning, Mr.. Tuck
er said. 1--WE completed our first
production-line car" /
During this month it became ap-
parent Mr.. Tucker needed more
money. While SIS 5000, 900 locks like
a lot, it isn't very much if you want
to start a new automobile COM
pany.
Mr.. Tucker thereupon evolved a
novel plan to get some money. He
offered to sell the cars accessories
to the public at from s235 to 1891 go.
The man who. first bought access
sories became first on the dealers
list to get a car.
Shut Down Plant
BY June Mr.. fuckers ire at what
he called "a very powerful group"
had grown intense. He placed full
page advertisements in newspapers
throughout the country saying his
corporations troubles can be traced
back to one influential individual
who is out to get Tucker" He
did not name the. individual.
Early in July the Sec asked to
see Mr.. fuckers books. Mr.. Tucker
called this request "a fishing expe-
dition." Dramatically, he shut down
his plant.
On July IA a stockholder and
dealers firm sued in Federal court
to have a receiver appointed, alleg-
ing the company "is in danger Of
financial collapse"
The next day Mr.. Tucker prom
ised automobiles to his distributors
within 80 days. He said 20 cars
had been completed and SO others
almost completed.
After that, there was one law suit
after another. An attorney sued on
the ground Of false arrest; master
mechanic sued because he alleged
his reputation was damaged by dis
missal, and group called Organic
ing Committee for Permanent Jobs
sued on the ground 1t hadn't been
paid for staging demonstrations to
get the SEC to permit sale of Tucker
stock.
In August he announced the COM
pany "has signed an option agree
ment with very substantial f1nan-
cial group"
But by November Mr.. Tucker was
in Washington, trying to get an
RFC loan of $4,000, 900. On No
vember 80 it was announced the
RFC had turned down Mr.. fuckers
application.
As 1948 rolled into l949 several
law suits against the firm dragged
through Federal courts. A South
African stockholder asked to inter-
vene in creditors suits. charging
some were being pressed to wreck
and annoy" the company. A hear
ing was set for February 18.
Meanwhile, Tucker Corp. stock
had touched a low Of 81 share bid.
