Hold Receptions
For NCNW
Delegates

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Del
egates attending the 14th annual
conference of the National Coun-
Gil of Negro Women meeting in
Washington last week took time
out from their regular order of
business on Thursday afternoon
to attend receptions held in their
honor at five embassies,
The delegation broke itself up
into small groups, some going to
Haitian Embassy some to the In
dian, other to the Israelian, the
British, the Mexican and the
Ethiopian. Each woman expressed
her delight at the warm and
friendly manner in which she was
received by the foreign diplomats.
Less than SO women are report

embassy where they we're received

Ambassador, and other wives Of

with the southern spokesman
"being content to have the re-
cords show they were u~nalterably
opposed to the civil rights pro-
gram, but otherwise solidly behind
President and the party"
Just how they could be Gun
alterably against the civil rights
program but otherwise solidly be-
hind President Truman'' is a NOR
al and political conundrum that
calls for the best that some NOR
al and intellectual Houdini can
do. More important thanthe stand
they took onthis most important
issue, is the fact that they faced
up to it instead of evading it.
There is one thing Of which we
many be sure and that is, the
civil rights issue is the gravest
that vexes the nation. To his
credit it must be said, Truman
refuses totake no for an answer
and inthis stand he is making his
tory that will immortalize him.
It must not be assumed that
Truman is fighting primarily for
the Negroes Of this country. In
stead he is fighting for this nation
survival and welfare. The
civil rights issue is no longer a
color issue; it is an issue of ma
tional integrity and of Christian
ethic and of democracy's future
and influence in the world. This
nation goes up or down, it viii
survive or perish, on this civil
rights issue. The just settlement
of the issue will largely determine
whether Communism or, Demo
cracy will sbe regant inthe worlt
of tomorrow. The hope that WI
can stem the tide of Communism
is no brighter than the outcome
of the civil rights fight that Presi
dent Truman is foisting upon thu
country. The signs are propitiou'

The Shape of Things to Come
The split-wide. changing, surg

Almost daily reports are emanat-
ing from this c~urse-ridden area
that should give heart to those
who are seriously interested in
better race relations. One week
a little bankrupt school is refusing
to accept $50, 900 conditioned
on the teaching of white supre-
macy and Jew batting, and the
very next young white Democrats
are meeting in Chattanooga facing
up to the civil rights issue that
is being hurtled by great Harry
Truman intothe forefront Of the
nations thinking.
In it's recent meeting the natl

, or even for what he had, as for
what those things stood for.
That was what he had wanted
of the Gun, of Saralee. A fine
place, beautiful wife. Above all
things else, Zachary .aspired TO be
acclaimed a successful man, to be
respected, looked up to. Now he
was getting only the shadow, not
the substance. All in an hour. the
work and planning of years had
been brought crashing about his
ears.
He dismounted heavily, leaving
his horse standing, knowing that
some of his crew would find IL and
care for it. and tramped into the
house.
Rudd knocked at the door, then
came on in. For a moment after
the foreman had entered. Zachary
was too absorbed in his own
thoughts to notice the bleakness
in Rudd's face Then Rudd's voice
brought him up sharply.
There's the devil to pay" ne
said.
Whats wrong now?" Zachary
demanded, aware of the temper
in the foreman's words.
Huff and Marsh just got back
"a little while ago" Rudd said, and
Zachary saw that he was watch
ing him sharply, as If to see what
effect the apparently casual state
ment might have on him.
"WeIl2m Zachary snap ped

They were both riding one

Rudd supplied the news he
feared, in blunt words.

but it seems that Huff's bullet
hit Marsh, and Valse downed
Huff. He told me ne was sendin'
them back on one horse. Marsh
had killed his cayuse. so he took
the other one"
Zachary's mouth opened, but no
words came out. He had the pic
ture of what had happened pretty
well in his mind, but the shock
of it left him numb. Rudd con-
tinued to pile it on.

it, 60 right ahead" Zachary
invited. He went on brutally
How about your brother Tom:
Do you know what he's beer
doing these last few months?
don't suppose you do. You knew
that he was getting pretty wild
but have you guessed how many
hold-ups he has had hand in
or murders? In case you have
guessed, it's all true enough.
He saw her cheeks blanch, but
went on mercilessly.
"I've kept my mouth shut about
what I've discovered" he went
on. II didn't want my future
brother-in-law to hang. If he's to
be in the family, I'll still feel the
same way about it. But If not
why should l care? It's up to
you"
Saralee looked at him, her dis
gust and contempt strong in her
face. She was seeing him clearly
for the first time. The mask was
off. Yet she knew that ne: was
telling at least a part OF the
truth. Her half confessed fears
about Tom were confirmed now.
Only if he had done such things,
it had been, directly or. lndirect-
ly, under Zachary's tutelage.
"WeIl?" demanded Zachary.
(Which is it to be? The wedding,
or the lynch-rope for Tom!
Hopelessness came into her
eyes. She saw now, with dreadful
clarity, that Zachary was capable,
in one way or the other, OF killing
Valse if he could not drive him
out of the country. That poster
would be all that he required to
do it. He had stacked the cards
against Tom, and he was unbeat-
able in this game. Her shoulders
sagged.

agreed. =.
