A large crowd of racing fans
many of whom were from st.
Croix, saw Orlando Baa's
venus" defeat Laurence Mer
rill's Yankee Moon" in what
was said to have been a spec
tacular race. Much money was
lost by both st. Thomians &
Crucians alike, who had seen
yankee Moon on the tracks
before and was sure that he
would have come home the
winner. Although Venus" got
the jump, their performance
throughout the race has left
a doubt in many minds wheth-
er the outcome would not have
been almost the same. No
doubt, these two will meet
again, possibly in September
at the Manning's Bay track
here on Labor Day.
A bay mare, Madame ia

South Hos Worlds WORST
Government; SRc Speaker

Columbia, S. CLAMP The
South has some of the world
worst government, Morris E. Alb
ram of Atlanta, newly elected
member of the Southern Regional
Council, last week told the South
Carolina division of the SRC.
I'VE have some of the worst
government in the world in the
South" Abrams said. II don't
know about this state, but in
Georgia we have some terrible
schools, penitentiaries and roads.
THE reason Is that we don't
vote for good schools or good pen
itentiaries, but we vote for the
best method of keeping the Negro
down"
Abrams explained that by keep
ing the Negro down the South
was keeping itself down, and was
violating the federal constitution.
He declared:
There was a time when the
South was an integral part of the
constitutional government. Since
the Civil war, however, the South
has had no president, has had no
first rate statesmen accepted by
the entire country.
I'VE have also paid a terrible
economic price. We are wasting
much of our human resources by
keeping the fit worker from the
job of his maximum usefulness by
discriminatory practices"
