Who's Who
and
What's
What
by Lausayale Brown

Who is this Mr.. Joseph
Beauharnias and what nation
atty IS he that he and his race
feel SO superior to the black
race and what has his race
contributed to the United
States of America in which he
and his race now live and en-
JOY the fruits of the black
races contributions to this
country?
If Mr.. Beauharnias and his CO.
horts are not satisfied with our
American way Of life why don't
they go back where they came
from and stop begging America
for SO much help? Then you and
your race will have leg to stand
upon, otherwise, you should keep
YOUR mouth shut while you are
in America, for you may not be
able to get back to the country
where you came from, for we, the
American people, may isolate you.
Who would ever think that a
foreigner would come to this
country and attempt to organize
such a segregated league such as
this? Twenty years ago you could
expect such things from a south
erner here in America, but those
days are gone now, as the south
wouldn't attempt to organize such
an organization in these modern
days.
| wonder if Beauharnias thinks
that he has done his race any
good by distributing such lietra
ture as have been passed out by
some Of the nit-wit members Of
that organiza ton in the City Of
Chicago, and if SO, he is badly
mistaken as he and his followers
will know the answer soon, espec
tally when ]. Edgar Hoover gets
through with him.
He seems to be very much mis-
guided on the black race of peo-
pie as they are the proudest peo-
pie on earth and they do not care
to mix or minglc with such per-
sons as Mr.. BeauhariaS and his
constituents.
If it was left to the Negro race
to decide such issues, Beauharnias
and all of those who believe in
his policies and advocate them
would be on their way back where
they came from.

British Divert Funds

U. $. banking and business lead CTS are mapping strong drive to put a reservation on 1850 Marshall Plan appropriations. They will in- sist that before any more money goes to Britain, the British govern ment must put stop to the prac- tice of paying off her debts with borrowed dollars.
 Indirectly, Britain has been us- ing ECA funds to liquidate her war debts to such countries as Egg ypt, India, and Pakistan.
 Therefore U. s. bankers point out that aid to Britain is being weakened by this practice; also that these countries are getting the benefit of British purchases which should be enjoyed by the United States.
 Note-Inside fact is that British Treasury officials-as distinct from the Foreign Office-are in favor of putting an end to this debt liqui- dation, or at least cutting it down

MaragOn - Finally
est. Louis Star Times)

(St. Louis StarTimes)
 After more than three months of unexplained waiting the Justice Department has taken the John Maragon perjury to grand jury The action was due certainly, even overdue.
 It was in September that Senator Clyde Hoey (D., N O, chairman of a Senate Expenditures sub committee sent the case to the department He asked for prompt prosecutian ordinarily, Drew Pearson said in his column recently, 't takes about one week to bring case of this kind before a grand jury But the weeks went by and still there is no move for to ask whether White House pressure wasn't being applied at strategic spots to save Maragon
 This fabulous bootblack become -minor-tycoon had White House connections, and good ones. He had been a bosom buddy of President Harry Truman ana Maj. Gen Harry Vaughan the footin- mouth military aide But Maragon also had clear perjury case agalnst him on the face of the record.
 ings he had said under oath that he got dime for fixing business deals with the government Then in open hearing a procession of witnesses test1eo that Maragon had been paid off for trying to use his influence Recalled for further questions Mara gon refused to anything beyond What's your name?" on the ground that he might incrlminate himself
 Surely his case couldn't have been kept from a ,rv without confirming every hunch that the case was being rgged behind the curtain It's even worth noticing only in passing that Justices action 1o- lowed by just week the column in which Pearsoh dwelt on that very possibility.

poses" for the 1850 campaign Op- inion on this was by no means un- animous. Sen Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., astute Massachusetts blue blood, spoke for the majority when he reluctantly agreed to statement of COP aims. Normally he would be against such a statement at this time, he said, since both part ies set down their aims in the 1948 platforms.
 But in view of all the publicity" Lodge argued If we don't restate our aims, it might look as if we didn't want to-"
 Lodge also pointed out that con- trihutions had stopped flowing into the COP campaign chest and sug- gested that a statement of aims might increase the flow.
 But Colorados Senator Eugene Millikin shook his bald and shiny head.
 "If you have a statement of aims to please not the little contributors, but the big contributors, he warn ed, "it would take us back not to the oXcart but to the antediluvian age"
 Maine's Senator Owen Brewster broke in tauntingly that he had heard Lodge remark on a television program that he was in sympathy with only 80 percent of the Repub- lican platform anyhow.
 Sen. George Aiken of Vermont then jumped up and announced he favored 90 percent of the Re- publican platform-''probably more
 What part of the 1948 platform do you want to changer" Aiken de- manded.
 But his question was never ans wered. In the end, the conference agreed to appoint a committee te help draft a new COP statement This brought two Senators to theil  feet to announce they would refuse to serve on the committee They were Senators Wayne Morse of Ore gon and Bourke Hickenlooper oi Iowa, who said they preferred tc run on their own records.
 It was clear that the 1850 cam raign was on.
 Note-There was one new voict at the COP Senators conference Ec was newly appointed Senator Harry Darby of Kansas, who recited a short statement that he would try to measure up to the standards set by his fellow Senators.
 You'll have to do better thar that" boomed Senator Vanden- berg merrily.

The return of prosperous times seemed to hold promise that people would lay aside the isms that go with poverty, and devote themselves to wholesome pastimes than devisng new political creeds and doctrines. But it doesn't work that way.

TROOP RECREATION
 AREAS REDUCED,
 pR0M|SE5 WINNING

A promise cf "drastically re- duced' withdrawal plans for troop recreation areas came today from Lieut.. Gen. Nathan F. Twining In a communication to the Fish and Wildlife Service in Juneau.
 When the military announced plans for withdrawal various par cels of land for hunting and fishlng areas, numerous complaints ne- luged FWS from Alaskan sports men. the Isaac Walton League, ana other conservation organization groups.
 Clarence Rhode, Wildlife director prior to his flying east several weeks ago, relayed the protests op to the Alaska Command chief.
 In a letter to one protestor' Rhode said:
 "The General has agreed with me that enough land to construct a cabin and for the landing of boats should determine the size of these recreation areas, generally :"
 Pointing out the General is sportsman and completely sympa- thetic to the Alaskan viewpoint III declaring large areas were thus being denied Alaskans for hunting and fishing, Rhode expected that small areas only would be with drawn for troop use.
 In order for facilities to be con- structed, land must be taken rom the public domain, in the same manner as when a civilian con- structs cabin.
 General Twining has assured Rhode. he said, that pending withdrawals, as well as any future needs, will be drastically reduced in line with his policy ot limiting military withdrawals to real needs General agreement was reached on withdrawal problems at the re- cent Juneau meeting of the mill tary command and other fedora agencies. All departments, as wei as the armed forces, agreed to keel in close contact with the Bureal of Land Management and the FWs on land withdrawals,
