THE DEEP SOUTH SPEAKS
BY Robert Durr

A state senator right on the
floor Of the Alabama senate made
bold to proclaim that they were
going to permit Negro citizens
to vote n his (Escambia) Coun-
ty. The Negro does not get jus
tice in any other Deep South
state. And most folk in this area
of the United States are forbid
den by statute or otherwise to
participate in the practice of the
highest expression Of Christian
fellowship. Here reorganization
is subtle and most effective. And
it is doubtful if any enlightened
person really wants to fight for
the Southern way Of life. Many
white and Negro boys did fight
to preserve the South's peroga-
tive to be its worst self and to
spread its poison throughout
the world but they drafted so
to do. To this day they can't
tell you any difference.
America would do we'll to ask
little Americans (off the record,
but for the record) to speak
up and 'Spress yourselves" It
might reveal that lip service to
Democracy has had its day -
that Democracy must be made
to work in the South today de-
spite its reactionary, white and
black racists and Dixiecfats.
These forces are doing more to
disentegrate this nation than any
trick statement made by a thou
sand; Paul Robesons.
Let's not let the holy Toes
among us glue Our eyes tc COM

preston and darkness make and

Women were once to be, seen,
not heard, in church.
LET your women keep silence
in the churches; for it is not per-
mitted unto them unto them to
speak; but they are commanded
to be under obedience, as also
saith the 1aw."-I Corinthians

itself to everyone, some

to be either suppressed or square

Yes. Any other answer would cast
doubt on the ever-presence and
allness of God. :.
In these times when digeStS of
various kinds are the order of the
day, 1t is interesting to find that
long ago in his Sermon on the
Mount the master Christian gave
mankind a digest Of the import
ant teachings of the Scriptures
leading to moral and spiritual
heights. Here is an unsurpassed
guide to good. Of it Mary Baker
Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science,
wrote in her Message to The
Mother Church for 1901" (p. ~,
"To my sense the Sermon on the
Mount. read each Sunday without
comment and obeyed throughout
the week, would be enough for
Christian practice"
The interested student will find
that study of this digest Mat

more to a study of the Bible as
whole and will enrich him
mentally ard spiritually. 1t will
lift him into the spiritual con-

PAUL ROBSON
EXPRESSES HIMSELF

If | remember correctly there
is an urging in one of Paul
Laurence Dunbar's poems which
in effect reads, Speak Up Ike,
'Spress Yourself"
When / view the expressions
and exhibitions growing out OF
Paul Robeson's alleged pro-Rus-
sian statement in Paris to the
effect that American Negroes
would net fight Russia and
knowing certain segments Of the
press is prone to distortion and

what our expressions would be
if we were asked point blank for
a categorical and noh-political
answer as to whether we would
voluntarily go to war to fight
who fer what.
Just a little sober thinking
will lead us to discover that if
the United States Defense De-
partment should depend upon
patriotic volunteers to staff its
sinews Of war it would be forced
TO resort to drafting men.
What is true in. this connec-
ton as it applies to the United
States would apply to most Of
the nations of the world today.
Without the draft I don't be-
lieve any nation could get
enough men in any country to

that is the catch in Robeson's
alledged Paris statement. And
that at the right time Robson
will say. Sc.

It would be most alarming to

The Effects of Labor MONOPOLY

Bridges Attorney Attacks Witness As Ex-COmmunist

SAN FRANCISCO CP)-Derense counsel promised to delve further today into the similarity, or diff ference, between naturalization of Harry Bridges and government witness Henry Schrimpf.
 The comparison began yester- day during the third day of cross examination of Schrimpf at the perjury trial of Bridges, president of the CIO longshoremen's and warehousemen's union.
 Bridges, a native of Australia, is accused of perjury for swearing during his naturalization proceed ings in 1945 that he was never a communist.
 Schrimpf, also native of Aus tralia, was naturalized in l943. He is an admitted ex-cOmmunist. He volunteered the information yes terday that he was not asked if he had ever been a communist; only whether he was a communist at the time of his naturalization. He said he was not.
 Records of Schrimpf's natural ization did not list any question . concerning communism. The rec ords were produced yesterday only after the government uneX- pectedly dropped ifs objections to producing them
 Throughout the morning session federal judge George Harris up held government objections when defense attorney James MacInnis demanded the records to show this witness is a har.'
 Harris, who has already sen fenced defense attorney Vincent Hallinan to jail for contempt o. court, repeatedly cautioned Mac ! Innis about his remarks. | There was no explanation as tC

Air Force to Speed Alaska Radar Warning System

WASHINGTON, (P) - The air force said today it has cancelled or cut other projects in order to provide $5O,OOO,OO0 to speed work on the U. S.-Alaskan radar warn ing system.
 Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, chief of staff, made the announcement He did not disclose what other ap- proved projects had been elimin- ated or curtailed.
 Air force officials said Congress authorized an overall expenditure of $85,O00,000 for construction of the defense network. But, they said, the lawmakers stipulated that funds for the first phase must be diverted from money already appropriated for other air force activities.
 Congress also provided that ex- penditures on the radar system should not exceed $5O,0O0,O00 dur ing the fiscal year ending next June 30.
 Under present plans. the air force announcement said Sl8,000,- 900 is being used for construction in the United States while the re- maining -31,0OO,O00 is being devot- ed to Alaskan stations in an air craft control and warning net work.
 Sites which comprise the net have in most cases already been surveyed and selected both in the United States and Alaska" the announcement said. Rights of en- try, property leases and cOnstruc- tion plans have been completed on most of the installations.
 With the funds announced to- day, the necessary construction to permit installation of the latest type of early warning and control electronic equipment can now move forward"
 The radar net is designed to de- tect enemy aircraft approaching the United States from the Arctic Northwest. Canada will cooperate by establishing a similar system within its borders. The network is to include some ship radar stations but the system is to be controlled by the air force.
