ty refused the first bid on the
but asked Mrs. Williams to
make the second one. At this time
the Korean war had come up, and
the defense department had froz-
en- all surplus property-includ-

Beatty wrote a letter to Presi-

He also told the chief executive
that the home actually had no
value to the government. The

White found himself in the same
predicament as that faced by Ju-
das Maccabeus, the Jewish warri-
OF who became a national hero by
forcing recognition of the rights of
Jews to exercise their own form of
religious worship, only to be ri
diculed later by the same people
for whom he fought.
Walter White, more than any
other Negro of the last half CEN
tury, has led the fight for recogni-
ton of Negroes and other minori-
ties as first class citizens. When
his own people turned against him
over matters which should have
remained personal to himself and
those Immediately concerned, the
example of Judas Maccabeus was
repeated.
But, thanks to the tens of
thousands of rank and file Negro
es who do not readily forget their
benefactors, the NAACP shows
signs of surrounding it's financial
difficulties. The huge sum contri-
buted SO far is evidence of the
esteem in which Mr.. White and his
associates are held and the de-
termination of NAACP members
who know hat the organization
must be supported if the fight for
civil rights is to continue.

President Truman Saves Home
For Aged Widow After l9 Years

CHICAGO (ANP)- A happy
75-year-old woman moved into her
own home this week, after an alb
sence of 10 years, thanks to the
President of the United States.
Mrs. Ella Williams, a widow
whose husband, Virgo, died in 49,
SO, may return to the home of her
early married days because Presi-
dent Truman took time to consider
her desires. Here is the story:
Originally, the government got
this home in a federal suit invol-
wing a bail bond. When the case
ended the federal government
owned the home subject to Mrs.
Williams dowry and homestead in
terest. This was in 1882.
This year, the home was put up
or sale by the governments gen
eral service administration in it's
program of selling surplus prop
erty.

The W00DPILE
BY T. JOHN WOOD

If the financial plight of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People was
not so serious, the pleading on be-
half of the organization by week
ly editorial columnists-and not
a few editors themselves-would
be rather amusing. Indeed, we who
have not forgotten how these
same bleeding hearts inadvertant-
ly waged a concerted campaign to
weaken the association, find it
hard to keep from laughing as we
read the glowing pleas for support
of the NAACP and it's leaders.
We who appreciate the MAC
P as an organization of inestim-
able service to mankind land not
simply as a target at which to
take ,pot-shots when we lack edi-
torial subject matter) will never
forget the effort many of our
weeklies devoted to the matrimoni-
al affairs of Walter White, NAA-
CP executive secretary. The paper
for which your columnist was
doing regular chores at the time,
turned it's big guns loose on Mr.
White and his new wife, and dug
up unimportant facts that served
no other purpose than to point
out that the head of an organiza-
ton which fights for the right of
any man or woman to marry the
man or woman of his or her
choice, had stepped over the color
line, and was no longer worthy
of the support of rank and file
NAACP members.
We shall not soon forget the
questionable methods used to in
fluence the national board of di-
rectors which struggled with what
was then considered "the Walter
White problem" but was, in real
ity, a weekly press problem. The
pressure which columnists, report
ers and not a few editorial writer's
exerted on the board was terrific,
and only sane reasoning on the
part of a handful of board mem
bers who saw the NAACP as
something bigger than Walter
White or those who were cunning
for his scalp saved the organiza-
ton from disintegration.
At that crucial moment, MI.

department of Trusteeship and In
formation from Non-Self-Govern-

licly some vital information on in
dustrial production. The depart
ment's report pointed out that,
with few exceptions, the lack of
coal, the inadequacy of the pro
duction of electric power, the
shortage of skilled labor, the re-
moteness of the places where mi
neral resources are to be found
and the inadequacy of transporta-
ton are among the factors which
have retarded or prevented high
ly- developed industrialization.
"Among the industries which ap-
pear everywhere and which are
developed in the first instance
are," officials of the Department
stated" on the one hand, the in
dustries concerned with the initial
processing of local produce (rice
works, Smelling factories, cotton
ginneries, works, for the prelimin-
airy treatmenty of coffee, cocoa or
tea, oil factories and mills) and,
on the other hand, a certain num-
Der of small food industries such
as fish canneries, distilleries, brew
eris, factories for mineral waters
and various beverages"

flood of grant-in-aid measures is
that few, if any, State Governors
have come to Congress asking for
such legislation. Many State Leg
islatures have adopted resolutions
roundly criticising Federal grants
in aid as a growing and costly
evil For instance, the Indiana
Legislature said,
Indiana needs no guardian and
intends to have none. We Hoosiers
were fooled for quite spell with
the magician's trick that a dollar
taxed out Of our pockets and sent
to Washington, will be bigger
when it comes back to us. We
have taken a good look at said
dollar. We find that il lost weight
in its journey to Washington and
back. The political brokerage of
the bureaucrats has been deducted.
We have decided that there is
no such thing as Federal aid. We
known that there is no wealth
to tax that is not already within
the boundaries of the AZ states"

Federal aid" In
Abundance But
Taxpayers Paw For 1t

Uncle Sam has a bargain base
ment sale in the making with a
total of 307 attractive offers of
financial aid to state and local
governments. All the Federal
Government wants in return is a
bigger say in running hometown
affairs.
In special study released today
State Chambers of Commerce
added the bills for Federal aid
before this 81st Congress and
came up with the total of 307.

they would add approximately So
200, 0,0O0,GO0 to present Federal
spending the first year and well
over $6,O00,0O0,0OO a year by the
sixth. None of the bills even hint
ed that the people in the states
would pay in full, by Federal
taxes, for the very aid they
were offered.
These proposals cover Al diff
ferent types of grants in aid The,
include such measures as spend.
