More About Wrestling

Permit me to extend my appreciation
to Messrs. Wickum, Zinsmeister, Simcox,
Bowen and Rosenberg. for their interest
in making reply (November I'D to my
recent letter OF protest against "profes-
sional wrestling" the apparently legal
lied "fourth-rate burlesque of its
honored ancestor-with the epicene
overtones Of q burlesque theater" (Busi-
ness Week. October Z. 1850. p. 25.)
A careful reading of the clever letters
Of these gentlemen pleases me greatly
because they seem to prove: ~
/. That professional wrestling is no
sport. FL.
j 2. That 1t is staged.
3. That the sameness gets boring
4. That it Is purely commercial &C.
tivity.
S. That the alleged referees are q
party to the deceptions.
also would like, through you, to
thank all those who have telephoned,
written and spoken to me in support
Of my arguments which. they say, ex-
press their sentiments.
r.. M. Cheseldine.
Col Cheseldines original letter asked:
when are we all going to rise up in
honest indignation and demand an end
to . professional wTestling?" The
important thing, think, is to define the
''we"-for it isn't solely the listening
Cor viewing) public that is to blame.
The responsibility is joint one of all
those individuals who enjoy clean. COM
petitive sports and who look to the
qualities Of team play and sportsman
ship as necessary ingredients Of the
democratic process.
BY definition this includes ministers
and educators everywhere. More spe-
cif1cally it should include athletic
directors and coaches whose aim 1t is
to develop cooperative effort based on
the principles Of competitive sportsman
ship. It should include newspaper sports
editors, who are presumably interested
In sports as sports and not as
burlesQues. It should include the police,
who through their boys clubs and other
efforts are encouraging better type Of
American citizenship, as well as service
clubs and civic organizations Of all kinds
which are genuinely interested in
creating and fostering q fair-minded
and responsible citizenry.
Not least of all, 1t should include the
broadcasting stations and the program
sponsors. who are doing themselves no
good by appealing to the human beings
who do the wrestling or who sit at ring
side or television set screaming franti-
cally for the kill.

How the Democrats Assess the Election

polnCS OpClIulSClCduy 10 tueSe TeLurQS,
among others:
New England-one House seat, that of
Representative Chase Going Woodhouse.
lost in Connecticut, while two Democratic
Senators were reelected despite one Of
the most vicious mudslinging campaigns
in history" Increased majorities in three
congressional districts In Massachusetts,
captured from the Republicans since
1914.
New York-"Great victory" for Senate.
Lehman. and net loss Of but one House
seat despite the majority piled up by
the Republican State ticket"
New Jersey-Held three former q. o. P.
seats picked up in 1948.
Pennsyivania-Best off-year record In
history. Senator Myers made bril-
liant" run. Held 8 Of II House seats
gained in 1948.
Maryland-"The State ticket and
Senator Tydings were defeated because
OF the local split in the Democratic
Party and the smear campaign. Never
theless, in the city Of Baltimore. we easily
Reelected two Democratic Representa-
tives despite the fact that the State and
senatorial races went heavily against the
Democrats in Baltimore. We lost one
additional House seat in Maryland by q
narrow margin"
Missouri-Lost two House seats by
close margins. but Thomas C. Hennings.
jr., piled up tremendous majority In
defeating Senator Donnell, Republican.
Utah-"Another vicious smear CAM
paign," directed against the veteran
Senator Thomas. who was defeated. Both
House candidates won by better than
usual off-year majorities.
The survey notes that the election re-
turns did not indorse the McCarran
Communist Control Act which was passed
over President Truman's veto. IF any,
thing. they repudiated the McCarran
Act and rewarded those congressman
who had the CUTS to stand up against
It," the survey says.
Particularizing:
But 8 Of 81 House members who con-
sistently fought the measure were de-
feated. They were Huber. Ohio; O,Hara.
Illinois. and Biemiller. Wisconsin, and
even these do not consider their stand
on this measure to be q major factor
in their defeat"
OF 20 beaten House incumbents, %
had supported various versions Of the
legislation.
Senators Lucas, Tydings, Myers and
Thomas-au loSers-"were never in
opposition to the act" Mr.. Hennings,
the Missouri winner, was an outstanding
opponent. while Senator Lehman. an
other opponent, led the ticket in New
York.

Invention Tip

Every year about this time we have a
great nuisance from the burning of
leaves. This year. we have found out that
not only the fire. but also the smoke. can
be dangerous when 1t covers up street.
Actually this burning is waste, for
these leaves, ground up, make q good
fertilizer. Thus. why not leaf grinder,
that can be pushed like lawnmower,
which brushes UP the leaves into q
screw grinder. just as with a meat
grinder? These should sell like
proverbial hotcakes, and should end
up kicking myself for not going into the
business.

If the Shoe Fits
Last week Madame Pandit, Ambassa-
dor Of India to- the United States,
presented concern Of her country to
the Ad Hoe Committee of the General
Assembly Of the United Nations. This
concern dealt mainly with the treatment
OF people Of the Indian race in South
Africa. A description Of the Indians
situation in South Africa might lead
one to think that Madame Pandit was
speaking of Negroes in Washington, for
she said. "They are shut out from hold
ing offices in public services, they are
prevented from becoming apprentices
and from working as skilled laborers
in factories. They cannot freely enter
into universities and other places of
learning. In short. they are denied
fundamental rights and human freedoms
in every sense Of the term Discrimina-
ton on the ground of race and color
is observed in the matter Of entry into
restaurants, theaters, cinemas,s parks,
motor vehicles and railway carriages"
On the basis of this and other state
ments. Madame Pandit presented
resolution to the Ad Hoe Committee
which recommends to the government
Of the Union Of South Africa to take
all steps necessary speedily to bring its
treatment Of the people Of Indian origin
in the Union of South Africa into con-
formity with the purposes and principles
of the Charter Of the U. N. and the
Declaration of Human Rights, bearing in
mind the vital Importance of these
principles to the securing of interna-
tional peace as well as the strengthen
ing of democratic forces throughout the
world" This recommendation has the
favorable support of the United States
delegation in the U. N. and quite possibly
a majority Of the other delegations. It is
not only words but probably will be
translated into action In the form Of
a U. N. mission to investigate this situa-
ton and observe the improvement rec
commended.
This action will set precedent and
might well be used by the Negroes here
in Washington, the Capital of the sup
posedly greatest democratic force, after
having exhausted all other channels, to
bring about a change in conditions here.

THE ETERNAL VIGIL"
BY r. ii. Mcdonald

When thick black clouds like
winding sheets
Fold up the light of day.
Gods piercing eye beholds his
sheep,
And clears the clouds away.
He watches through the silent
night,
The dangerous arrows fly,
He shields them with his arms
of might,
He watches from on high.
He marks the sparrows when
they fall,
And all the stars he numbers,
His watchful eye beholds them
ALL
He neither sleeps nor slumbers.
He knows the trials of his saints
Their conflicts all he numbers,
He hears their voices however
faint,
He neither sleeps nor slumbers.
He feeds the raven from above,
The grains of sand he numbers,
He hears the cooling of the dove,
He neither sleeps nor slumbers.
He paints the fields in gorgeous
hue,
The lilies too he numbers,
He waters them with heavenly
dew,
He neither sleeps nor SAUNDERS.
He watches DER the sleeping
dead,
Their dusty beds he numbers,
Hank! / hear a steady tread,
They're rising from their slumber
! see a host in garments white,
II fills my soul with wonder
Behold them marching in the
light,
A host no man can number.

Republican Women
Discuss Abilities
Voters Should Have

To be an informed voter should
be the aim of every citizen, was
one of the chief points stressed at
an informal discussion held at
the Hotel st. Paul Saturday
morning, Sept. %, between Re-
publican women from all parts of
the state attending the state con-
vention of the Minnesota Repub-
leans last week.
The informal discussion was
held at an early morning coffee
sip, when the Republican women
gathered to greet each other and
meet Mrs. Clifford Mayes, of
Kellogg, Idaho, assistant chair
man of the Republican National
committee, before attending the
Saturday morning convention.
The next step that women
should consider, it was agreed,
was that the voter should know
the working of the machinery of
the Republican party, and form
discussion groups to thrash out
issues and policies.
Mrs. c. E. Howard, state vice
chairman of the Republican State
Central committee, stated that
the Republican women are oppos-
ed to the forming of an all-Negro
Republican group, or any other
group formed entirely of one race.
They would welcome, instead,
new members of all races, work
ing as one group for the better
ment of all concerned.

time of his death was dean of the
American Baptist Theological
Seminary at Nashville, Tenn,
and a professor at the same

During his lifetime, which las

services.
Mr.. Evans was speaking before
the 27th annual meeting Of the
st. Paul Urban League In the
Hotel Lowry, Tuesday, Sept 10.
In an interview earlier with
this reporter, Mr.. Evans stated
that whereas a firm and fair pol
icy has been completed in all
phases OF armed service, much
work is yet necessary before
satisfactory results are obtained.
The most significant aspect Of
the new army program, he said,
is the fact that where complete
Indignation has been put into eff
feet, operations are just as effic-
lent, occurring without one incl
dent.
Resistance TO the new policy in
the armed forces, he said, stems
from older people in the service,
people in civilian life and from a
few Negroes themselves.
At the luncheon, he urged the
people TO prepare for home con-
sumption OF democracy, and as
simulate the cultures abroad be-
fore they invade us.
The section Of the armed forces
which is moving fastest is the
Air Force, he said. with the Navy
moving the slowest.
Mr.. Evans is confident that full
Indignation can and win be ac-
complished. EXPERIMENTATION Is
rapid, he said, and even the Path
Infantry regiment, now fighting
so CALAMITY in Korea, is no longer
an all Negro group.
