SOUND OFF The Dept. For Vets and CTS
 By Glenn Douglass

SOUND OFF is wholehearted- ly in sympathy with the concern of several vet organizations in this state that the American Le- zion monopoly over the admins tration of soldiers, sailors and marines funds be broken.
 This money, which gives aid and comfort to thousands of needy former members of the services and their families, is raised through the state cigarette tax.
 Every individual who smokes cigarettes underwrites it.
 It is absolutely unfair to allow the American Legion to use this as a slush fund and a war chest with which to build it's member ship.
 There are other recognized and vigorous veterans groups which are sincerely fighting for the cause of the ex-servicemen. They should not be bypassed - regard less of how subtly this bypassing is done. And regardless of how vigorously it is denied, it is be- ing done.
 There is no doubt that the American Legion is a powerful and influential organization which has been heard very noisily on the national scene with regard to veterans rights.
 There are a whole lot of peo- pie, however, who don't believe the American Legion is attack ing the problems of vets from a sincere and honest angle. .
 There are a whole lot of people, black and white, who are opposed to the Legion as an organization born in the arms of the World War l, class and wealth-conscious off cer clique; an organization which has done little or nothing to pro- test against the same kind of sep- regation in the armed forces which IS practiced within the ranks of the Legion; as an organization which keeps it's power and prestige clasped in the hands of a small dominant group of folk who have perfect understanding. Unfair To Vets
 Be that as it may, whether or not these charges are true, it would be just as unfair to veterans. to tax-paying citizens and to the sen sible and decent administration of state money if AVG, AMVETS, the VFW or Marine Corps League were allowed preference over the Legion III dispensing of such money.
 This is nothing more nor less / than playing politics with the real need and misfortune of veterans and veterans families who find it necessary to appeal to the fund. These other vet organizations have proposed that a bill be en- acted creatino commission on vet erans affairs on which all veterans organizations would be represent ed. The commission would appoint a director whose duties would in- aT,
 There is approximately $7,500,- 900.
 That is a lot of money with which to be playing politics.
 It ought to stop.

EDITORIAL Logical Recapitulation

There is an old slogan that says, Do not ride a good horse to death" Therefore as we do pit ot recapitulation the Bulletins scoop of the Middle town High School story on the Jim Crow tour to Washington, have that slogan fully in mind.
 Still that has nothing to do with the fact that there is every to be proud that we were the first bring this matter to the attention ot the pub lie and call upon them reject any such un-demo- cratic procedure. Then too proud ot the fact that we could help in indicating to the courageous students who stood against this type of activity, that there are host of people who really believe in the democratic way of life. But most of all we are time i'm extremely busy schedule to not only com mend these youngsters their stand but invite them to visit him and the state institutions.
 There are people who reasonably feel that the only way eliminate racial prejudice is through edu- cation. Unfortunately of these same individuals who advocate this policy, likewise feel that this edu cation should be quiet nartculate something that almost borders all suffering acceptance.
 Thus we mighty afraid that going to offend the quiet dignity of many of these people. For if State Department of Education should de eide to sanction Jim Crow student tours; 1t our Ma tonal Guard has special set of bylaws that would handicap the enlistment of Negro men; if Stamford should insist that does not matter if nerracial community center carry glarlng sign its front stating NEGRO COMMUNITY CENTER. And if in tavern at the price of ten cents to white and twenty cents to Negroes without 'loud edu- cational protest" then they nightly mistaken
 For i'm very beginning announced that intend to be crusadng newspaper and that ob- jective has mot been changed one iota We will al- ways try keep in mind the fact that TRUTH is not dvisable We shall therefore ferret out the truth and let the people know it. This we shall do from Boston to Stamford. We will do it not only where Negroes concerned but wherever injustice shows its head among men.

NAcP Hits Bias of City
Officials In Complain

NEW YORK (ANP) - The
Brooklyn NAACP branch made pu-
lie yesterday a supplement to a Pc
tition sent to Gov. Dewey last April
% which complained of high-handed
and illegal acts by police against Ne
groes. The supplement charged that
police were upheld and abetted in
their treatment of Negroes by Miles
F.. Mcdonald, Kings county district
attorney; city magistrates and May
or William O'Dwyer.
Mcdonald was accused of neg
lecting to prosecute policemen for
crimes against Negroes, facilitating
the imposition of frame-ups by police
officers against Negro citizens and
encouraging unreasonable and I'M
warranted searches and seizures of
the persons and homes of Negro cit
zens" by police. The supplement al
so charged Mcdonald so conducted
grand jury proceedings that Negroes
charged with crimes have been in
dicted but policemen facing crimi-
nal action from Negroes have been
"whitewashed."
Both the city magistrates and the
mayor were charged with refusing
to act on complaints of Negroes and
disregarding evidence of illegal pro-
cedure.

ernor, the NAACP asked an investi'

Bronze Voice And Kurt
Singer On Race Relations

A new day is dawning in better
race relations. When a White man
and a Negro can openly discuss the
pros and cons of race prejudice the
way Clarence McDaniels of VIM
and DIR. Kurt Singer of WMIE did
last Tuesday over WMIE at $50 a.
M, without fear of censure or re-
taliatory action by pro-Klansmen,
then certainly we have reason to
take heart about our future.
McDaniels is conductor of the
heard $50 $3.50 daily over VIM
Bronze Voice" radio program
and DR.. Singer is a noted lectuerer
and WMIE Commentator.
In one half hour many pertinent
subjects and names were brought
up. AS regards Communism McDan-
iels said: "In the communist way Of
life there may be racial equality but
there is no room for Christianity.
Since we, the citizens Of color are a
highly religious, christian race of
people we have no room for commun-
ism, therefore the infamous remarks
of a Paul Robson are little more
than ridiculous
When DR.. Singer mentioned Cana
da Lee and his most recent protes-
tations, he seemed reluctant to agree
with Mr.. McDaniels when he said,
I'VE must protest the sterotyped
movie and radio presentations Of
Glowing Negroes because we are
made to suffer thereby more than
any other race of people when they
are presented similarly, were it not
for the legal restriction barring our
way to satisfactory way of life we
could display just as keen a sense
of humor as anyone else.

McDaniels pointedly limited that
the Jews could carry this idea for
ward by encouraging private owners
of cafeterias to open their doors to
the Negro rather than blindly obey
the moronic mutterings Of a medic
val jim crow. DIR. Singer pointed up
the suggestion by asking, "You
mean that we should break bread
with our neighbors regardless of
their color?" to which McDaniels re-
piled in the affirmative, Splendid!
