Life At A Glance

The Dixiecrats and Northern Re-
publicans have banded together
and become the formidable oppos-
ition to most of the issues a de-
vocated by President Truman and
his Fair Deal" 1t makes one
wonder who won the election
last November, the Dixiecrat-Re-
publicans, or Mr.. Truman.
Well, it's about time Negroes
quit belley-aching about Jim Crow
and start to doing something
about it - that is if they really
mean they don't like it. Ebony
Magazines editorial, "Do Negroes
want Equality" in the current
issue, is a masterpiece of opin-
ion and should be read by all
Negro leaders and business men.
1t puts the question smack in
the face of every Negro in Ameri-
ca today.
This column has long since been
of the opinion that economic
equality will eventually lead to
social equality, for when a peo-
pie can maintain the same econ
omic level as his fellow brother,
he naturally becomes intergrat-
ed innto the social structure with
complete equality. Of course there

Emory Jackson, Editor of the
Birmingham World, and a rep
resentative of the N. A. A. C. P.
Birmingham, Alabama, was the
guest speaker at the ''Y" Lun-

Mr.. Jackson centered his very
interesting talk around Negro
Business men and the political
outlook for the Negro. T h e
speaker mentioned the fields of
business now occupied by the
Negro, but added they had not
scratched the surface. Negroes
limit their bushes , enterprises
to only a few of the many fields
open to them. Mr.. Jackson

The osder is part of the find
ings of a Fair Employment Com-

In respect to the principal Fair

Police force will hereafter make
all assignments to cruiser car and
cruiser car relief duty without re-
gard to race or color and all such
cruiser car assignments will be
on periodic rotation basis so
that no curiser beat shall be or
become a race beat. A number of
other determinations in assign
ment, detail or duty were ordered
terminated and several of the orr,
ginar charges were withdrawn.
The corrective action was taken
IN the approval, by Acting Secre-
tary Oscar L. Chapman, of re.
port and recommendation by a
fire member Fair Employment
Committee composed of Depart

The Committee, with Dan H.

Is that little difference (color)
which is used as screen tt
keep Negroes from whites. But
back in the minds of every white
man is the fear that some day,
he will be made inferior to the
darker race. Don't believe me?
Well just study some the late
Bilbo's writings. Bilbo represent
ed a large segment of Western
Civilization.
Everybody hollers about Civil
Rights. Even the Negro leaders,
most of them, make believe they
abhor Jim crow, but deep in their
souls, they are like the Teller
laboring in the field during a
spell lraught. He puts up a mild
wish on the one hand, while
fearing its consequences on the
other hand.
Strangely enough, the amend
ment to the education bill, which
would have deprived any state a
part of the $3OO,OOO,OOO which
maintains separate schools for
Negroes and Whites, was defeat
ed and none of our Negro edu-
Gators down in Dixie lifted a
eyebrow of rebellion. Are they
afraid if separate schools were
to vanish, they would be caught
without jobs or prestige? ii
seems that any state that does
not have to spend money to main
tain Jim crow is in a better posi-
ton to maintain a higher level
OF salaries as well asa higher
efficiency of curricula If you
axis me, there are a very few of
US who really want civil rights
that is the meaning Of civil
rights. In the first place, most
of the Negroes have the same
idea that dominates the thinking
of the White people, that is, they
feel that you are co]ored, and
you should remain colored. That
part of it is quite obvious for
some time to come, but sooner
or later, the problem of equality
with the full meaning will face

lish each activity on sound
