Negro Citizens Take Full Part In
Presidential Inaugural Ceremony For
First Time In Nations History
Miss. Negro Represented In Nations
Greatest Event
Rep. William |. Dawson
Fisk University Scholarship Honors

Washington d. C. Jan. % A
new and vastly more ropeful era
for the American Negro in his
struggle for full recognition as
an American citizen was ushered
ir here this week with the inau-
guration of Harry S. Truman as
the Thirty-fifth President of the
United States.
1t was the first time in the
nations history that Negro citi-
zens took part in the Presidential
Inaugural ceremonies along with,
and on the same basis with other
American Citizers.
Beginning with the impressive
Howard University Concert in
front Of the White House Sunday
afternoon. At the Electoral Col
lege dinner at the Washington
renowned Mayflower Hotel, We'd
nesday night. At the Inaugural
ceremony on the capitol grounds
at noon Thursday where President
Truman ard vice-president Bark
ley took the oath of office, and
where the president delivered the
inaugural addrss.
In the great inaugural parade
that followed the inaugural cere-
mony. At the presidents recep-
tor in the National Gallery of
Arts. At the colorful and gigan-
tic inaugural Ball in the National
Guard Armory. At the reception
honoring Senator J. Howard BMc-
Grab, chairman Democratic Ma
tional Committee, at the exclusive
and fashionable Shoeham Hotel;
at the impressive dinner in honor
of Congressman William L. Daw-
sor, of Illinois, in the DINING room
of the Department of the Inter
ior, and in the many other lesser
events of the week, the Negro
IAmrican citizen took full part i'm
the inauguration of the Presi-
dent of the United States for
first time in the nations his
tory.
1t goes almost without saying
that great many people present
at the inaugural everts from every
section of the nation got a new
impression OF their fellow Amer
lean citizen. Impeaccably clad
Negro men ard women from North,
South, East, and West, exhibit
ing all the social graces, moved
from event to event giving evi.
dence of being conscious of the
fact that they were participant
ing in the history making event.
At the inaugural Ball it was the
singing of Dorothy Maynor, the
celebrated concert artist, tn APP
pearance of beautious Lena Horne,
stage and screen star. and Lionel

Goodman band in a jam session
that added color to ar already
colorful event.

The construction or an all
colored hospital at Mound Bayou
was bitterly opposed by such or

paper Publishers Association, the
National Medical Association of

If the scheduled elimination of
the hospital project at Mound
Bayou is carried out, a predo-
minantly colored hospital may be

learned. Construction of such a

ing with VA policy to build hos

veterans may have the best of

India Blanles
South Africa For
zulu-Endia',
Plotting
CHARGES POLICY OF
SEGREGATION AT SEAT
OF TROUBLE

New Delhi, India - Prime Min
lister Malan's Nationalist regiment
| in the union of South Africa was
blamed here Sunday for the
bloody racial wardare between
! Zulu and Indian citizens Of the
union. The rioting broke out in
Durham, South Africa Thursday
after what appeared to be a
minor incident.
A government official described
the riots as the Inevitable re-
suit Of racial hatred created by
the present South African govern
ment." Many people believe that
the Dutch-Boer regime in South
Africa inspired, and encouraged
the rioting between the two
groups, who long have been at
odds with each other, The idea
behild the agitation is that the
Dutch would benefit if the In
dams = who are outsmarting
the Dutch in trade and are grow
ing wealthy - were deported.
The uprising broke out when
natives claimed an Indian had
assaulted a young native boy. I'M
mediately, a series of dlsorganiz-
ed attacks on the Indians broke
out. By Sunday, the warfare had
spread to as far as Johannes
burg, largest city in South Africa,
80 miles northwest of Durham.
First count of bodies by Dunbar
police listed IS dead and $40 In
dams and Sulus injured.
Significantly enough none of
the 100000 white population had
been molested in the five days of
fighting. However, it was report
ed that $4,000 Durham Indians
had fled their homes.
Last September a similar de-
monstration broke in Capetown
when 5000 natives demonstrated
against the segregation of whites
and non whites on suburban rail
way lines. There is segregation
on trains throughout the union,
and natives are denied the right
to vote in parliamentary elections.
Indians have about the same
standing as natives.
Proud Warriors
The Zulus, in Durham and Nat
al province, are remnants of a
proud warrior people who a few
generations back humbled Brit
ish arms in a series of defeat.
They do not like Indians and.
the antipathy is mutual. The feel
ing is fortered by the example of
white people who fear an en-
croachment of cookies" and seek
not only their complete segrega-
ton but their repatriation to
Indian.
The policy of the Nationalist
government is complete segrega-
ton of all natives mad elimina-
ton of any representation for
Africans and Indians in the legis-
latures. The government has been
seeking to repatriate the 2S5,500
Indianians back to India, but has
not been able to figure out way
to do it.
Last year, Prime Minister ia
wahariah Nehru of India put the
case of the Indian minority in
South Africa before the UN. The
UN evolved a plan for joint
conference with the two nations
to settle difference but South At
RIGA rejected the plan last Aug
ust.
The white population of South
Africa totals 100000, compared
with 100000 natives.
