Do We 0rqanize To Disorganize?

According to front page dispatch in one OF our daily
PAPERS, and one of attendants Sunday meeting some
16 or II men most of them from eena met at one OF our
local hotels and organized what is termed THE Young
Negro Democratic Association.
The new organization its embryonic stage is very
direct in its demand according report from the president
tendent at the Boys school Wrightsve Negro
supervisor Negro education the state department OF edu
cation Negro board of trustees at AM&N college at Pine
Bluff; Negroes staff of state penal institutions.
These are of the things that the organization went
on record as demanding the first part Of its agenda
Second the organization plans to organize county and local
organizations throughout the state
We agree with the organization that should be inte
grated into every phase of Arkansas activities But we do
think that the organization putting the before the horse
We feel that organization should organize its organization
first and build substantial number of qualified electors
In fact certainly that what will have to be
before any recognition is given the Negro in of these
departments But the secrecy in the of this newly
formed organizations getting together makes feel that its
main objective "disorganize" the few Negroes that

that the objective which obvious from the surface then II
would been far better if the organization had still been
unborn.

this situation in these words:
Equal facilities as to courses
must be arranged for, SO that if

students to take course the
school must be ready. That is the
only way to satisfy the law"

mob-rule. He is thrown to lynch
ers as though he were a piece
of tainted meat tOssed to a pack
of vicious wolves. He is beaten,

ed body is set afire after it has
been drenched with. gasoline or

brave SONS of justice drag the
flaming corpse through the MAXI
ed streets to the horror of the
Negro people and all decent
minded whites who dare treat us
with respect. And all the state
government does is sit on his
hindpart smoking big cigars.

BIG BANDS TAKE
DECLINE IN Dixie

NEW YORk-PrOfitS from the
routing of big bands through the
southland have almost ceased
according to a statement from
the office of Moe Gale this week.
Reasons for the sharp decline in
attendance to big band attrac-
tons in the south was given as
(D the development Of good To-
cal bands and, (2) the big adj
mission prices.
An inquiry in twenty Of the
larger sbthern cities by Atlas
News Service revealed that
there are only two bands that
continue to draw profitable pa
tronage, Louis Jordan and Buddy
Johnson. And the attraction of
these bands is far below the two
year ago level. 1t was found that
southern promoters are forged
to up their box office prices to
uutlandish heights in order to
break even on a, dance attractions.
and the dance loving public,
knowing that in New York or
Chicago they could hear the
same band for one third the
price demonstrated its disp1ea-
sure by staying away.
A promoter in Miami stated
that the booking agencies must
realize that southern people are
no longer the suckers" they%llse
to he about big name bands. eff
these bands are worth only a
dollar in New York, Detroit or
Chicago, they are worth only a
dollar in Miami, Jacksonville or
Tampa. Tudy Mancuso, New Or
leans promoter of many years,
related that he can remember
dozens Of instances when he had
to pay hundreds Of dollars out
his pocket to make UP the guar
antee, and that he had learned
that local bands out-draw big
name northern bands two to
one.
