Soil Conservation Championship Goes
To Farmer Who Turned Run. Down
Acres Into A First.Rate Farm

An Alabama colored farmer who
turned l20-down, abandoned acres
INTO a flrst-rate farm was chosen
The South's No. l Soil Conserva-
ton Farmer last week at the
southwide Negro Soil Conserva-
ton Jamboree at Log Cabin, Ga.
The new champion Is Elijah j.
Lynum, Sr., of Manila, Ala. He
succeeds Charles L. Russell of
Georgia and won the honor in
competition with top converva-
ton farmers from nine States.
Presentation Of the $l50 grand
prize award was made to Mr.. Ly-
mum by DR.. Benjamin F, Hubert,
former president of Georgia
State college and founder II the
Association for the Advancement
of Negro Country Life which
sponsors the annual jamboree.
1T is with the hope that Negro
farmers everywhere will be en-
eouraged to take better care of
their land. increase its produc-
tivfy, and thereby raise their
level of living that we sponsor
this jamboree,' said DIR. Hubert in
presenting the award to Mr.. Ly-
mum.
Awards of 500 each were pre-
scented to the nine other State
champions who competed with Mr..
Lynum for the top honor. These
were as follows: +. L. Brewer.
Springfield. Ark; Rubin Gilley.

dollars.
Reached in San Antonio where
he Is nav working, Mr.. Barnett
indicated that he intends starting
classes in Galveston when the
medical school opens next month.
Attestlng to his expectional quail
ficallons as student is the fact
that Mr.. Barnett had already been
accepted by Meharry and by the
University of Chicago Medical
School for this term
Speculation is rife as to what
effect Mr.. Barnett's acceptance will
have on the Sweat Case, soon to
60 before the U. S. Supreme Court
on the issue of whether or not
Heman Marion Sweat of Hous-
ton can further be denied admis-
sion to UT's School OF Law. At
Dallas Donald Jones, NAACP reg
ional secretary, registered the O.
pinion that at is difficult to see
how denial Of Mr. Sweat to study
law in the University of Texas
School OF Law can long stand up
against the accomplished fact of
Mr.. Barnett's admission to the
medical school. a parallel branch
of the University.
ITO all intents and purposes"
Jones went on, ANY logical denial
of Mr.. Sweat has been invalidated
by the admission of Mr.. Barnett
Both men are Negroes and if a
segregation pattern is relaxed for
one simply becaused It is financial
~ inexpedient to enjoin it, then
there exists no reasonable and lust
grounds why the pattern should
not be relaxed for the other. An
ticipating a decision of court of
law is uncertain business, but we
feel confident that Mr.. Barnett's
admission will favorably influence
our fight in the Sweat Case"

When he began buying his farrE
in 1886, his neighbors warned hin
against making the purchase,
pointing out that six or seven good
farmers had abandoned the worn
out, quilted acres because hey
Just couldn't make a 60 of II.
But Mr.. Lynum decided to- try
1t anyhow, He counted orf .hS
training in soil conservation prae-
tees he had received at Tuskegug
institute to help him find a way
to halt erosion and improve the
land. With the help of his county
agent A. A. Hicks, he built sew
eral yards of terraces on tn
slopes, using pillow and his one
mule.
Later he applied to the Mobile
River Soil Conservation DistricA
for technical aid. S. II. Saucier, q
conservationist who was sent To
his farm, helped him make COM
plete conservation plan for every
acre. The plan included cover
crops, soil building crops, and strip
crops. These further reduced ero-
sion and increased his yield.
Mr.. Lynum now makes Is to g.
bushels of corn per acre on land
that used to yield only five to 10
bushels; and when he used hy-
brid varieties, he gets up to 80
bushels per acre. His cotton yield
also has increased. He makes a.
much now on one acre as he used
to make on four.
This has enabled me to cut
down on my cotton acreage ayv
the champion. And that means .
lot less blowing and chopping-
and a lot more time for other
crops = pigs. cattle. poultry. and .

as Medical School had been re-
eeived, processed and evaluated'
and that as a result, the young
man would be accepted in the
medical school when it opened
next month.
The youth is Herman Barnett
%, graduated last June with honors
from Samuel Huston college here.
He is native of Loekhart, a
few miles distant from Austin, and
is an eX-soldier who served as
pilot in The Army Air Corps. Mr..
Barnett was among the Al Negro
students who made mass applica-
ton to the University of Texas
on April o. Manual application
having been refused Mr.. Barnett
submitted his application to the
dean of the UT Medical School by
mail May II, and it was this pre-
sentation which was favorably act
ed upon.
Still stubbornly declining to con-
cede that Negro was becoming
altogether member of the Med
zeal School student body, the Uni
versity Of Texas has adopted the
ostrich-like maneuver of insist
ing that Mr.. Barnett register at
Texas State University for Negroes
at Houston and thus become a
student of that institution. after
which he is to be admitted to the
Medical School at Galveston as a
contract student. Stated DR.. Paint
ef's letter in this connection: Is. /

the Texas State University for
Negroes of your application and of

tons and it is my understanding
that they are ready to receive

with the University of Texas Med
zeal School at Galveston to provide
such training under contract I'M
til such time as the Texas State

cruit staff, equip the school and
begin operation on their own"
The sum of s175,O00 was APP
propriated by the Texas 5lst
Legislature for establishment of
school of medicine at TSU. How
ever, 1t is well recognized that
this sum is paltry for such a pur-
pose, and consensus OF opinion is
that there is little likelihood that
TSU will have medical school
Cos of such a school is indicated
by the fact that UT's Medical
School at Galveston. long estab-

Phoenix NAACP
Plans Program

!. PHOENIX, Ariz. (ANP)- The
Phoenix branch NAACP has plan
ned a three pronged program of
activities : : a drive to end the
city's jimcrow school setup, activi-
ty to end job discrimination in
the Basha chain system, and the
signing up of 1000 members.
To bring to the public these
points, the Rev. L. B. Nelson,
president of the branch, is plan
ming a mass meeting this month.
S. R. Boyer, labor and political
advisor, explains that the NAAC
has continually sought better jobs
for Negroes in Phoenix. He says
that although one Basha food
store has Is percent Mexican and
A
40 percent Negro trade it hires
no Negro clerk. He said.
"It is not the purpose of the
NAACP to cripple anyone, but it
is our aim to help the Negro take
his rightful place in the sun for
a better and greater Phoenix for
him to live"
In the campaign for unsegre-
CATER schools the NAACP will
have to fight Negroes who fear
that Negro teachers will lose thei1

Counsel Declares
Preservation of
Rights of All
WASHINGTON lamp

WASHINGTON (ANP) -
Strides must be made in the extern
sion and preservation of rights to
all people whether they be in min
ority or majority groups, declared
Clark Clifford, special counsel for
President Truman, in a luncheon
address last Monday for the Wo-
mans National Democratic club.
He enumerated the five goals
of President Truman's Fair Deal
program as % attainment of
basic human rights; (2) conser-
walton Of human resources; (3)
conservation Of natural resources;
A expansion Of economy; and
5 attainment of world peace.
Clifford, who is usually thought
of as the man behind the pen,
writing all of the Presidents
speeches, declared the the "Fair
Deal" phrase was coined by the
President himself. 1t was written
in the 1949 State of the Union
Message inthe Presidents own
handwriting while he was putting
the final touches to the draft.
The sentence written by the
President stated that every
citizen of this country is entitled
to a fair deal from his govern
ment'', declared the counsel. The
term is new but the basic policies
are not, he said. "People don't
lose their freedom but gain new
strength and welfare under such
a program"
Although many of Clifford's
ideas might have been expressed
to the nation through the mouth
of the President. The luncheon
address was his first public utter
ance since he went into the White
House four years ago.

Employer Groups
Fight New
u. C.. Law

The same employer groups who
successfully prevented a Ohio
FEPC law from being passed by
this last session of the state leg
fslature are now concentrating
their campaign against unemploy-
ed workers according to the Ohio
CLIO Council in Columbus. Mon
day, attorneys for the Ohio Cham
Der of Commerce and the Ohio
Association Of Manufacturers ask
ed the Ohio Supreme Court to
block increased unemployment
compensation benefits voted by
the legislatu e.
It was ruled last month that
unemployed workers who had filed
their claims prior to August %,
the date the new law with it's in
went into effect, were eli
gible for the increases.
It also ruled that higher living
costs justified additional benefits
for unemployed workers for
longer period of time. Acting in
the name of George Gayer of
Osbo n, owner of a restaurant
and -vice-president of the Ohio
Restaurant Association. Attorneys
for the employers groups asked
the State Supreme Court to pro-
hibit the paying of increased bene-
fits to those who were unemploy-
ed before August %.
Ohio CLIO Secretary-Treasurer
Jacob Clayman, lashing out at the
employers groups said:
"The Ohio C. Of C. and the
Ohio Ass. Of Manufactu ers
seemingly accept the badgering
and harassment Of workers as
full-time job.
"Their present action, aimed at
denying a few paltry dollars to
needy, unemployed workers, is
morally reprehensible as we'll as
legally unsound.

ess maneuver until hell freezes
over"

next war, If any, will be the op-
erations of air armies. It will be
disconcerting, to say the least, for
any commander to find his COM
munications and supply lines cut
by several divisions, completely
equipped. With superiority in the
air, those troops could be landed
in an area well selected for its
airdromes, railroads. roads and
defensive possibilities. The air
support given to the troops after
landing would make dislodgement
almost impossible and as the
strength was built UP. the verti-
cal development would start its
destructive effect. Pressure in
front and in the rear at the same
time would cause the staunchest
soldiers to look for another way
out. The line would be broken.
Numbers of soldiers in them
selves mean little. as we have seen
SO many times. 1t takes more
than mere numbers. They must
have a constant flow Of supplies.
They must have requirements to
maintain a constant strength.
Above all else. they must have the
will to fight. The American SOL
diers need more supplies than
those of any other nation. The
Russian and the Japanese soldiers
can come closer to living on the
country. Hence. in any war We
must figure on far more elaborate
Evening star., 1949-12-27

After such an attack, little, If
any. shipping would leave a
coastal port. That alone would
completely disrupt and disjoint all
plans for shipping supplies and re-
inforcements overseas. If schnork-
els can do the trick with atomic
bombs, all the ports of a nation
might be rendered imperative.
Just how long that condition
would last could only be deter
mined in each case by the actual
blast itself. In any even. a COM
plete reassessment of the port ca
pacities would have to be made.
Every time we try to make an
estimate of the damage that might
be done by a surprise attack we
are impressed by the tremendous
advantage that the attacker has.
BY selecting the time. he can also
place his attacking forces in a
position to do : the maximum
amount of damage. The people
on the receiving end haven't the
faintest idea as to the source
Of the bombs or missiles and must
figure out what is happening. BY
the time a little order is brought
out of chaos, the attackers have
gone, disappeared into the dis
tance. Such was the story Of
Pearl Harbor. We have tend

takes tonnage, lots of tonnage.
If the ports are closed. if the
ships are sent to the bottom. If

the fighting efficiency Of any army
is affected. That shows why there
is so much planning necessary for
maintaining an American Expedi-
tionary Force overseas. The Jap
walked through the jungle with a
bag of dried rice and fish tied to
his stomach, was satisfied and
fought hard. AS we step up the

plies are required for American
soldiers.
Americans Can Find Answer.
However, the Americans have
always been able to take care of
themselves in a pinch somehow
They can substitute when they
have to. They have the originality
to find solution when others
may give up. They have the
initiative to create things that
make their difficulties easier. No
matter what the problem may be,
with a group Of Americans, there
always seems to be someone who
can find an answer. This has been
demonstrated time and time again
when the going was toughest in
World War I and in World War
II.
If there is World War III, no

matter what the initial troubles,
even catastrophies that follow the
first sneak attack. we Of America
will find a solution and find it
much quicker than might be ex-
pected. In the United States there
is that indomitable will to do. the
ability to bring order out OF
chaos. and the invincible desire
to win, which makes us conquer
ors in our battles and our wars.
It is. in itself, a warning to others
to, keep their fingers out of our
pies.
Can anyone win the next war?
Yes, WE can!
