Negroes In

Albany, N. Y. (Atlas) - In

New York were embarrassingly
minus an yinformation on the
caucus to be held by the state
committee to elect a state chair.
man, called for April 21st, in
New York City. Several Negroes
who hold high positions in the
state party theoretically a.
greed that although they did not
expect a Negro to be considered
for the post of state chairman
tdey should have an influential
"say" in who is elected.
Miss Jane Todd, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Dewey as
acting chairman on February 10
is not likely to be seriouhly con-
sidered for the post, because Of
her liberal viewpoint. Thus the
Governor has sworn handsofff
attitude in the choosing of the
state chairman.
The COP strategisth have dip
lomatically circumvented any
possibility of Negro influence
being inserted into the caucus by
playing the election Of a state
chairman as merely routine
procedure. 1t has been limited that
the party encourage the estab-
lishment of a Negro sector of
the htate party which may salts
fly the cry of Negroes that they
don't old any policy making posi-
lions in the State setup. This
plan will be patternd after the
Negro set up during the national
campaign last year
Some liberia minded members
Of the State COP feel that it
would be profitable to integrate
Ne gro leaders into the party
official family, in that the Ne
gro vote will be a determining
factor in this years city and next
years election. This suggestion
was hush-huhhed with treats Of
reprisals against tie suggesters..
Negro leaders are completely in
the dark as to what will happen
in the April 21st meet.

(Atlas) Racial discrimination
and segregation in religious cir

ture church leaders during a
seminar here between the Insti-
tute of Cultural Relations of the

Several years ago the Presby-

from anti-religious trends that the
church was the most pronounced
practitioners of racial segregation.
1t was further charged that the

ced racial intolerance.

'c'core Sugar Ray
For Dusking
Ilessrve Clause
In Boxing Game

New York City: - (Atlas -
The man that has created fur
orein boxin gpromotion is Sugar
Ray Robinson the welterweight
king. Some daily sheets have join
ed the ring pr Emotion greats in
stamping Ray as the slippery eel
of hiking. While the story goes
that he won't be pinned down
or pinned up by any money
graphing promoter the fact is
that Ray ha sheen too smart to
be tired up for a slave percentage
of the boxing take by these big
timers.
The lot to which most Negro
fighters have fallen over the
years, presents a story on the
popular reserve clause" but this
time in boxing.
Negro fighters have been the
practical slave laborers for pro-
motors over the years, with most
of them winding up behind the
money eight ball. Beau Jack wrote
a brilliant disclosure of this sys-
tenn in a magazine recently; but
with Ray Robinson, well, he has
been too slick to fall for this
scheme. And for being smart en-
ough to maneuver himself clear
of thehe slave driving fight pro-
motion, he has been called a city
slicker. He made the radio and
television muguls take note. Ii
Ray wasn't getting what he thou
ght was a fair take, there was no
fight. They are trying to make
Ray look bad, but all he has done
is profit by the mistakes of Hen
ry Armstrong, Beau Jack and
otherh; and you can bet your bot
tom dollar that when Sugar Ray
retires he will have made at least
as much as the guy who sits be-
hind desk while he ducks rights
and lefts in the squared circle.
