 JACKSON, La. - The superintendent of

 today that one of his patients had posed as

 Blast straw for many Repub- licans in Congress was a demand that they buy blocks of tickets for the Lincoln Day Box Supper" at the Uline Arena in Washington Senatcr Morse sent the tickets hack with a note, T cannot afford to spend this money | need it in my own campaign, and I am quite sure l will not receive any finan- cial support from the National Committee"

 NGte What COP stratsgists seem to forget is that in order to win elections they have to woo away Democratic votes. It isn't enough ngroly to get the same number of Republican voters. The man n1est successful in winning Demo- cratic votes has been Gov. Earl Warren of California, who, when last elected, had both the Demo- cratic and the Republican nomin- atiens.

THESE DAY s
 B Y-- GEORGE :. SOKOLSKY
THE CALCULATED RISK

The assumption is, in a country like ours, that anyone has a right to an opinion. The fallacy, of course, is that an opinion without facts is. not an opinion at all; it might be gossip or hearsay or 'happy talk.
 So, in all the discussion concern ing the prospective wars, too many facts are missing to make an op- inion worth the expression. For instance such dates as 1852 or 1854 are offered. The premise for either date is based on the as- sumption that in some such year, Soviet Russia Will be ready for the calculated risk of a conflict. One Of the factors for these assumptions is that the Russians and their satellites produce about 23,000,0OO tons of steel; that the United States can produce 90,000,000 tons and our allies about 30.000,000 tons.
 The ratio is important only if the war is of the type that ln- wolves huge quantities of steel. IT,, on the other hand, we approach a total revolution in warfare, steel may not be so crucial For instance polar warfare, involving airplanes and atomic, hydrogen and other bombs, is promised on the risk that a swift knockout blow is pos sible. Such knockout in the United States would involve Detroit,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-01-28

polar war is possible. On that sub feet. I can have no opinion nor can many persons have one. It in wolves highly technical knowledge of technical subjects. Our airforce technicians believe that polar war fare is not only possible but likely. The layman may live to know which expert was right, but it may also be too late by that time.
 So, we must first decide whether we are in danger of a knockout and whether we must not act be- fore we get such blow. It would help if we did know precisely what Stalin and his associates are think ing. Then we could formulate a policy more competently.
 For instance, Stalin wages a propaganda for peace. Peace is good; war is evil. Can we then say that we are opposed to peace? But what does he mean by peace? For instance, if he is for peace, why does he build airplanes at ratio that looks like 5 to l against us? Why is he building long-range rock cts, which can only be against us? Or for what purpose is the excessive building of Schnorkel submarines?
 So, we again are faced by the very tough queries: What does he mean by peace? Does he not op- crate peace as though it were war? Does he not conquer territory in time of peace as other nations con- quer territory in time of war?
 In a word, Stalin has stood the world on it's head, and words, im- ages, symbols have distorted mean ings. In fact, what we today call peace is actually war and shows all the consequences of war Our arguments over Formosa, Korea, Bulgaria are merely moments in a war situation.
 Therefore the risks, calculated or accidental, are war risks and are enormous. Too lightly does the armchair expert, pontificating without knowledge, speak of Rus sia's weaknesses and say that we do not need to be ready for im- mediate warfare, even to antici- pate it's probability. He cannot know. You cannot know. I cannot know And it will be too late to talk about it once there has been knockout blow over the north pole.

Time For Movies To Present Real
Negro, Says Catholic Critic


LOS ANGELES, Calf. (ANP)
cit is time for American motion
pictures in which Negro characters
are fully and honestly expressed
in which, without patronage or
apology, they are seen only in the
true light, as American people,"
This is the opinion Of William
H. Mooring, British-born Holly
wood critic expressed in his col
umn published in Catholic news
papers coast-to-coast.
"Why, for instance, do we
rarely meet in our movies a col
ored character who is NEITHER a
mental introduced for comical eff
feet, nor a speciality artist with a
talent additionally credited to the
racer" asks Mr.. Mooring.
81 have admired the deft step
of Bill Robinson in the warmth of
whose personal charm I often re-
yelled backstage in Hollywood.
81 have the happiest recollect-
ions of such fine motion pictures
as King Vidor's "Hallalujah,"
made with an all-Negro cast a.
round the turn of the 30's. War
ners Elimination of Marc Connol-
ly's "Green Pastures" appealed to
me tremendously and I enjoyed
MGM's "Cabin in the Sky"
"Why, however, does an all
Negro movie invariably deal with
fantasy? Is there no place for
the man of darker skin at grips
with the realities Of American
life in the center of Hollywood's
exploration Of national character?
"Could not there be-, for in
stance, a screenplay about a man
like Booker T. Washington, whose
life found him in the company and
service of fellow being both black
and white?
"I have waited in vain for a
great Hollywood screenplay in
which, without reference to the
fact, Negroes and whites are seen
going about their business of max
ing American history together.
Mr.. Mooring proposes for the
Hollywood producers the quest
ion: "Have the Negro people a
place in our nation?"
eff the answer in this country
under Cod is an unqualified
yes, then it is time for American
motion pictures in which Negro
characters are fully and honestly
expressed; in which, without pat
ronage or apology, they are seen
only in the truth light, as Ameri-
can people,"

On one occasion, the Depart
ment of Justice had to bring pres
sure of bear in a matter involving
the death of an excl, whose eyes
were burnt out with the use of
an acetylene torch. A second in
cident was that Of three CPS
who were prosecuted by Lafargue
and sentenced to die in the electric
chair.
The doomed trio we're rescued
by a federal court-martial trial,
and their sentences committed to
life Imprisonment.
Six Weeks Brewing
The coup, however, was greatly
facilitated when on last week La
fargue, after six weeks of tanta-
lizing by Long, told a radio audi
ence why he was opposed to FE-
PC. Long himself, had already in
formed his constituents how he
stood on the measure, but Lafar-
que continued to say nothing, only
heckling Long, accusing him of
being for FEPC.
With this commitment coming
from Lafargue, a break was i'm
minentt and Immediately Dennis,
Tureaud and Laws, notified the
OPPVL board that the edorse-
ment of Lafargue meant a part
ing Of the ways.
CONSERVATION was rife. Many
ofthe board members had been the
recipient of political mazuma, and
other gratuities handed out just
prior tothe mayoralty election last
January, when a Morrison land
slide reelected the latter.
The ,OPPVL had gone all the
way with the mayor, and indicat-
ions seemingly were obvious that
any candidate fostered by him,
automatically became the leagues
choice.
The mayor, however, was ask
ing too much when he requested
NEW ORLEANS COU N Gil
that the league support a man who
already. proved himself unfriend-
ly to the Negro race, and immedi-
ately on the endorsement of La
fargue,, the revolt was precipitat-
ed.
Slow On Performances
Board members charge that the
mayor is long on promises, but
short on performances. They al
lege tat of the many promises
made, only two have been kept,
that Of naming two Negroes to the
police force, and a public payroll
job to his %handpicked executive

Then, too, the public is not al
together satisfied with the may
or's appointment of the two Ne

men are kept in civilian attire,

Johnson Describes a
Test of Mattresses

An unusual test of the softness
and firmness of mattresses was
made recently by the United
States Testing Company of Ho-
boken, N. j., according to T. NJ.
Johnson of the Johnson-Strowd-
Ward furniture store.
Sheets of plastic were spread
over mattresses and then soft
ened by heat" Mr.. Johnson said.
A man was then lowered by
slings and a block and tackle on
to the center Of each plastic-cov-
cred mattress, so that a perfect
mold of every contour of his body
was formed.
When the plastic cooled ,and
hardened, a permanent impress
sion was formed. From such i'm
pressions, it was easy to deter
mine the relative hardness or
softness of different mattress.
