Race Prejudice Formed
As Result Of Ignorance

CINCINNATI, Ohio-Special =
Race prejudice disappears when
people get acquainted, according
to a Cincinnati priest stationed
at Negro mission.
The PRIESTS observations were
published recently In The Tele-
graph-Register, Catholic weekly
published here. Prejudice is a
result of ignorance" he declared
in an interview, "and when peo-
pie come to know each other they
discover that superficial differ
ences. such as the color of their
skins. are unimportant. The De-
troit race riots took place in areas
that were all-white or all-negro.
Where both races lived together
there was no trouble"
Many of his friends have sym
pathized" with him because of his
appointment to a colored parish.
the priest said. but the only
regret l shall ever have will be
to leave the place"
He considers work among the
Negroes an excellent means of
spiritual development. II don't
see how 1t could fail to make
better priest of you. In fact l
think 1t would be a wonderful
experience for every priest to be
stationed here for two years aft
er getting out of the seminary.

/ iicipate in all activities. He told
the New Yorker what a grand
person President Truman was and
how sincere Sc Is in his promises.
still he is reported as having inn
piled that the Negroes should not
insist upon breaking down the
segregated policy practiced in the
nations capital. In effect he urg-
ed that they voluntarily move
into colored hotel to prevent
the Dixiecrats from criticizing the
President.
In spite of Mr.. Houston's plead
ings. which we're supposed to have
been made by telephone at 1880
PM, the delegation stood pat
on its conviction and all went
well.

| Alabama.
Wilkinson did not disclose de-
tails of the proposed amendment
to be presented to the legislature
in May, but he related 1t has
nothing to do with voter registra-
ton at ALL" He was one Of the
II electors who cast the states
electoral votes for Gov. ]. Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina, the
States Rights candidate for presi-
dent in the November elections.
He said, at simply eliminated
the Negro entirely from Democrat
ic primaries. If the Negro wants
to have a party, let him or
ganize one of his own, or join
the Republican party"
Earlier, Gessner T. McCorvy,
state Democratic chairman, had
proposed in Mobile that a new
Alabama law be patterned after
a court-tested Mississippi require
ment that an applicant to be able
to read any section of the state
constitution OF to understand 1t
when read to him, or give a "rea-
sonable Interpretation" of 1t. The
Mississippi provision has been up
held by the U. s. Supreme court.
Meanwhile. former Gov. Chaun-
ceyM. Sparks startled political cir
Giles In Montgomery when he Is
sued a formal statement declaring
that civil rights programs for
Negroes is coming and the south
might as well get ready for It"
Both Negroes and whites alike
were shocked, since Sparks had
long been an outspoken advocate
of segregation and separation, al
though he also contended for
equality.
From the viewpoint of the Mont
gomery Advertiser. prominent To-
cal daily, the statement was ar
resting because of him who ut
tered it. The statement will alarm
or offend formidable element in
this state"
Its editorial comment on January
is, continued: but it comes from
a thoughtful man. 1t comes from
a man who was known for a
generation at the Barbour County
Bourbon!' And it comes from
man who is planning to ask the
people of this state to reflect him
governor of Alabama presently"
HE apparently believes that
Alabamians are aware or can be
made aware that the so-called
threat to southern civilization was
always a fraud, and that changes
are in progress the same as they
have been since this was a sea-
board republic. Maybe Sparks has
miscalculated. 1t will be seen in
1850 for Sparks is betting the
governors chair that he is right"

ever, the Same lads are finding
competition IN the Mar-Del circuit
much stronger. than that offered by
the Sussex loop, and, as a result,
the Milford team is currently last
in both the league standings and in
team batting. The Milford pitching,
on the other hand, is an improve

lack of batting punch has cost the
team several games that were
otherwise closely contested.
