This is the spirit which should
suffuse thru every organization
in this area, civic, fraternal and

Negroes mean to get representa-
ton in the city gov erning body,
is the desire of thousands
of citizens of this town. This de-
sire was expressed by the large
vote from this area for McLin
and Sims in the 1947 municipal
campaign.
This leads to another important
point on this subject. The strug-
gle for representation should not
just proceed along one ~"front", so
to speak. In other words, resolu-
tons and petitions should be
transmitted to the city commission
Immediately, requesting the ap-
pointment of a Negro Commits
sioner. But at the same time,
steps should be taken to run a
Negro in the primary campaign
this August. In the event that
a Negro is not appointed and the
odds, of course, ire against it
the Negro people should have a
candidate in readiness to run in
the race which will elect 3 com
missioners this fall.

ST. Louis Pitcher
Shows Steel Nerves

ST. LOUIS, April 29.-(ANP)
When, a pitcher gets behind
three balls with runners on bases
and Larry Dolby in the batters
box and attempts to change his
pace, brother he's got plenty of
nerve.
At least that is the opinion of
jubilant Manager lack Taylor of
the St. Louis Browns, who mar
veled at the way his ward struck
out Dolby in the crucial fifth in
ming.
Taylor's praise of his young
pitcher was Indirectly a tribute
to Dolby, who caused a hush
among Brown rooters when he
stepped into the batters' box.
Said Taylor, "Garvers really got
heart, I believe the turning point
in that game when Dolby was up in
the fifth inning with runners on
bases. Carver pitched three
straight balls to Dolby and then
struck him out. With the count
three balls and two strikes, he
broke the speed on a pitch just
enought to catch Dolby off stride.
