Victory In My Hands
BY HaFoId Russell with
Victor RoSen. Creative
Age Press. 1919. $3.50.
BY Nell Russell

The Saturday Review of Litera-
ture described Victory In My
Hands" as IAN inspiration to the
many hundreds of thousands of
war veterans still in the veterans
hospitals throughout the country"
The book is more than that. It
should be an inspiration to every
one who reads the story.
From the time Harold Russell
writes of his awakening in a hos
pital to find his hands gone, to the
final chapters in which he dis
cusses the folly of intolerance, this.
story is intriguing reading. His
description of life in a paratrooper
training camp, the explosion that
led to the loss of his hands and
arms, the Misunderstanding period of
readjustment, all of these episodes
are told in a simple, straight-for-
ward manner vitality necessary to
keep such a book from becoming
a INSTRUMENTATION treatise.
His account of Hollywood
and the people he met there
when he went to the coast to
make Best Years Of Our Lives
adds to the interest Of his story.
His straightforward but scath-
ing comment on Charles Chap
lin, whom he met at a party,
certainly won't do anything to
raise the already slSiddlng public
opinion Of that gentleman. The
book takes the reader behind
the scenes Of Hollywood movie
making. Messrs. Russell and
ROsen don't let Hollywood off
too lightly In the process.
The army doctors cryptic
statement to Russell: You're not
crippled, you're merely handicap
ped" applies to many an individual
who has lost his way, not physic-
ally, but spiritually. RusselIs ex-
perience has taught him that big
otry and intolerance are as Grip
pling to a human being as loss of
actual physical capacities, more so
perhaps.
Victory In My Hands" contains
humor, simple philosophy without
preaching, and a lot of common
sense. It's the kind of book you
feel better for having read.

Relations Board, all complaints of
Negro workers against either en-
ploycrs or union under the Nation
al Labor Relations Act come I'M
der Denham's jurisdiction. A man
who believes, as Denham does,
that Southern Negro workers are
lazy, shiftless, have to be pushed
and driven to do a full days work,
and can not be depended on to tell
the truth, is not the type of per-
son for such a position or any
other position under the National
Labor Relations Act.
During my investigation of Den
ham l continued TO hear reports
about his being anti-Semetic as
well as anti-Negro. 1 have refused
to make that charge until now be-
cause did not want to go off on
rumOrs. Denham's anti-Negro
position is down in black and
white. Some Of it is in his own re-
port in the Phelps case (45 MIR.
b. cases 1881 Denham's anti
Semetic prejudices are not written
down by him in any documents
shown to me; therefore wanted
proof before making the charge.
1 now have that proof in affi-
dawt form from persons 1 would
set up against Denham at any
time or any place. The affidavits
show that Denham was hostile to
the appointment of Jewish lawyers
as Trial Examiners on the Nation
al Labor Relations Board staff. He
has openly taken the position that
Jews were not capable of under
standing things the way white
Gentiles do, and that they should
not be selected for important pub
lie positions.
Denham's violent anIi-Semitism
is exceeded only by his Negro
phObia. Yet this is the man who
has authority to pass on every
complaint of a Jewish or Negro
worker under the National Labor
Relations Act, and to decide
whether the complaint shall be
prosecuted or dropped.
A law of man is different from
a law of nature. The law of grav-
ity, which is a law of nature, OPP
crates automatically. Throw a
stone in the air and automatically
it falls by operation of the law of
gravity. The National Labor Re-
lations Act is a law of man. Let a
Jewish or Negro worker have a
just complaint under the National
Labor Relations Act-he does not
automatically get relief. What he
gets depends upon the bias or pre-
iudice of the officer who investi-
gates and handles his complaint.
This is nothing new to us. The
18th, 14th and 18th Amendments
have been on the books since Re-
construction, but they have not
been enforced. Nothing was wrong
with the Amendments; the trouble
has lain with the men who are
supposed to enforce them.
The National Labor Relations
Act is no better than the General
Counsel who is its chief enforcing
officer.
Right now we have a particu-

found whereby the Negro minor
ity could over-power the white
majority and force it to evacuate
its last stand against the onrush-
ing tide of time and events. The
futility of such premise can best
be comprehended when we con-
template the debacle that is Con-
gress in its remissness in dealing
with the civil rights issues.
The growth of public sentiment
in behalf of civil rights may be all
too slow, and the advocacy of
further dependence upon this
growth may seen at times Illogical
and fatuous, but in the clutch we
must fall back upon this self-same
growth of humane sentiment
whereby the Negro can within his
limits fight for his own redemp-
ton. Nor is it cowardice to bide
our time so long as we keep our
eyes on the prize of full-fledged
citizenship.
One OF the most salutary as
poets of the recent congressional
debacle has been the coalition be-
tween Democrats and Republicans.
The incurable Negro Republicans
cannot gainsay US who went all
out for Truman. They certainly
cannot hurl into our teeth We
told you So" for republicans no
less than democrats are perticeps
criminis and there is no reason
to believe things would have been
different under a republican adj
ministration.
What then shall we do next ?
The answer is too simple for re-
petition. Each Negro must by his
staunch Christian character and
industry and common sense win
more white converts to our cause
in the south and north. 1t Is being
done and il can further be done.
It must be done! Character is the
only thing that can unlock the
doors of fill-fledged citizenship in
this country. Let's continue to in
still uprightness, honesty be-
coming behavior. The Christian
Spirit, patriotism and race loyalty
and faith in ourselves, our fellow
men and in our teachers. Cod
These are next to be II we keep
UP the fightl
