NEGRO VOTE

continued from page ~
Dixiecrats or coalition candidates
of Dixiecrats and Republicans who
are expected in some cities to
form a bloc in opposition to lib
erals and the Truman crowd.
In Florida where a critical stu
alton is developing between the
conservative and liberal wings of
the Democratic party, there are
about $4,000 Negro voters. By 49,
So the number many be increased
to at least 100000. That number
of voters in any southern state, if
polled in favor of liberal candid
ates, might easily put liberal can
didates in the winning class with
what support white voters would
give in the campaign.
Political issues are arising also
in Alabama, Texas, South Caro-
lima, North aCrolina, and Virginia
where the Negro vote for the 1862
primaries should be a factor to be
carefully considered.
If the Republicans put out
enough money, the Negro press
will most likely, as it did in 1913,
come out in support of the COP
Presidential candidate and a num-
given. 1t was evident near the end
oft he campaign that the odds
were against Pepper who sounded
in each speech like a man fight
ing for his life.
The NAACP's fight for the life
ofthe Negro boys sentenced to the
chair for the supposed rape of a
white girl was dragged into the
campaign when Pepper refused
to repudiate recent articles in the
st. Petersburg Times that suggest
ed the boys might not be guilty.
States Atty. Jesse w. Hunter who
had prosecuted the case for the
state and who is a power in Lake
County threw his support to
Smathers when Pepper declared
for freedom ofthe press. 1t look
ed like a trick and it worked.

Koussevitzky's Plea
For Federal Aid 10 Ad
Launches Foundation

the Library of Congress with a
plea for a Federal Department of
Fine Arts.
Before an invited audience of

Koussevitzky Music Foundation
inaugural concert, the noted con-
ductor declared that art needs
the support of the state and de-
mands a Department of the Fine
Arts" Such support is "the signal
need of our time" he said.
The conductor, recently retired
from the Boston Symphony, pre-
faced this plea with personal
recollections of the struggles of
young musicians. His new founda-
ton, created with an initial gift
of 100000, is intended to aid
contemporary composers.
Champions New Music.
DR.. Koussevitzky pointed out he
himself always has championed
new music since his start in his
native Russia. He described the
new foundation as tangible
means by which I wish to extend
my gratitude to this nation for
giving me the opportunity to
realize and expand my musical
and artistic ideals" But he added:
whatever benefit comes of in
dividual support. it is still drop
in the ocean of need. It is my
firm belief that the permanence
and security of the fine arts de-
pend on the support of the Fed
eral state. The individual support,
like so many streams feeding the
vast river, is not enough"

composers go through. When he

If no composer could make a
living without turning to teach
ing or some other outside job.
Composers today still are faced
with an unsolved problem" he
warned. Few, he said, possess the
dual personality needed to sell
what they create, thus they still
lack economic security.
Us the welfare of country de-
termined by its magnificent build
ings, bridges and roads? Does
the happiness of a people depend
on economic security and good 1iv-
ing alone? The world is hungry
for spiritual food. Never before
has history offered so vast an op-
portunity to prove to ourselves
that we indeed have a right to
live and serve humanity, that we
are men of heart, mind and SOUL"

Coal Shortage Lays-Up Trains

NEW YORK, (P)-HundredS of the nations passenger trains today were headed for the storage yards.
 From New Orleans to Chicago and east to New York, operators prepared to .lay-off trains to save fuel supplies dwindling fast in the face of a three-day work week de- creed in the nations coal mines by United Mine Workers chief John L. Lewis.
 The interstate commerce com mission has ordered all railroads with less than 25 days supply of coal to take one-third of their steam-operated passenger locomo- tives out of service Sunday night.
 In the Far West, most of the major lines use diesel or oil pow cred locomotives and would not be immediately affected, unless asked to share their locomotives with coal-powered lines.
 So far, there were few reports of plans to lay off railroad work CTS.
 One of the biggest cutbacks in service was scheduled on the New York Central Railroad, which an nounced it would discontinue 147 trains at midnight Sunday.
