Ban on Jean Muir

NEW YORK. - The NAACp
board of directors this week went
on record as condemning the ac-
ton OF the General Foods Corpo-
ration in cancelling a contract
with Jean Muir for a role in the
company's television( program.
Miss Muir was withdrawn from
the program following telephone
calls protesting against her be-
cause she had been listed bv a
private group as a supporter Of
subversive causes. The actress
denied the charges.
Miss Muir was among those
Hollywood stars who consistentlv
commended for better acting roles
Tor Negroes in the films. THROUGH
out her career in the films and
on the stage, she opposed racial
discrimination. The NAACP res
olution, passed on Sept. H. cited
her consistent liberal attitude and
actions.

OPPORTUNITY FORLOCAL TALENT
MANY VISITORS who have witnessed local sports, par
tculary baseball have been i'm pressed with the ability of our
boys, which naturally causes us to think in terms of their
crashing bigime. Many an island has produced stars in the
national sport, and as teams train in Santo Domingo, Puerto
Rico and Cuba, the managers and coaches have an opportu-
nifty to see local talent at its best. The day may come, and we
should hasten it, when some Virgin Islands lad NAV see his
name in headlines because of taking an outstanding part on
some national team.
NEW IDEAS are difficult to get across as diehards, re-
dictionaries and skeptcs invariably turn thumbs down in
everything, but the march of time passes them by and often
forces them to keep step. When Negroes were thought of in
terms OF organized baseball, many from both sides of the
fence openly declared that it would never come to pass. What
has happened since is now history, and one more lie was given
to those who failed to see further than their noses. AS to the
local situation, we may be a long way from developing an en-
tire team of players of big league calibre, but there are many
young men whose performance a-field put them in good stead,
and might even attract serious attention if some scout were to
look them over.
1T IS KNOWN that Jackie Robinson will manage a team
in Puerto Rico this winter. 1t is also known that he is not only
recognized as one of the al-tme greats of the diamond, but
highly respected as a citizen, and that he also has a voice with
his team. All of which brings us to the point that it would be
well if this star Dodger could see some of our boys in action,
and pass the word along. And it is not beyond the bounds Of
possibility if some of our local chaps would be attracted to
the teams in Puerto Rico, as one or two already have.
THE AID OF private citizens, the Chamber of Com
merce and other groups could well give a little energy and
attention to this matter and through well recognized chan
nes help to give the lads a greater opportunity and add one
more bit Of favorable publicity to these Islands, The idea is
very well worth thinking about and working upon. 1t might
net greater results than we at first give it credit for.

Clio Urges House
To Knock Out
knowIand Amendment

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
CLIO has urged every member
of the House to support a motion
to recommit HR 5000 (social
security billy to conference, with
Instructions that the Knowland
amendment be eliminated.
That amendment, the clio
pointed out, would destroy the
Federal-State system of unem-
ployment insurance and permit
states to use their systems as
strike breaking, union-busting
implements by threatening to
cut off benefits of unemployed
workers who refuse to take scab
jobs or other substandard en-
ployment."
The Clio pointed out that the
amendment was rejected by the
Senate Finance Committee the
morning of the day the Senate
voted to attach 1t to HR 5000,
and branded it an Indictment
to industrial warfare"

All The News
On One Side

OAKLAND, Calf. (LPA) -
Daily papers have made count
less surveys on what the public
thinks of the papers. The East
Bay Labor Journal proposes a
survey of what the papers think
of the public; that is, the union
member part of the public.
1t has asked the Industrial Re-
lations department of the Uni
versity of California to find out
how many Bay Area dailies
over a given period of time
published editorials in support
of local strikes while they were
on or about to be called.
Editor Louis Burgess said
that since the papers officially
subscribe to the American be-
lief that labor unions have a
right to exist and to conduct
strikes, no legitimate objections
could be raised to the project.
He said the job requires very
careful, thorough, scientific re-
search because many of us in
labor have read many hundreds
of editorials in the principal
dailies of the area during many
years past, and we cannot re-
member reading any such edi-
torials declaring that a strike in
this area was justified, that the
strikers should carry it through
to a successful conclusion and
that the winning of it would
benefit the strikers and the
public"
If such a study revealed that
no editorials, or practically
none, had endorsed any strike,
Burgess said it would mean "the
daily press is not impartial, does
not believe in the right of unions
to exist and strike, or represents
interests other than public in
terests. Either this, or that all
labor unions are always wrong
in striking and have no right to
exist"

Ferguson Blasts
Taft On Korea

State Auditor Joseph T. Fer
guson, Democratic candidate for
U. S. Senator, Tuesday charged
Senator Robert A. Taft with
"disloyalty bordering on trea-
SON."
Referring to Taft's speech in
Nice onnelsville Monday, Fergu-
son declared:
This man is again up to the
same old tricks of haraSsment
and obstruction in our war eff
fort that he carried on in the
last war. His statement that we
invited the Korean var is prob
ably resounding through Asia
today, supporting Jacob Malik's
claims in the UN Security Coun-
Gil, giving solace and increased
vigor to the agressors while
American blood is flowing in
Korea. This is the stuff that
treason Is made of.
II believe the time has come
when a spade should be called
a spade. Time and again Taft
was defended in his treacherous
statements and tactics during the
last war. He was excused on
the grounds that he was being
sincerely fortnight or just blum
dering. Those things do not
hold true anymore, nor will the
people continue to be fooled.
Il have in my possession now
a list of Taft's statements OPP
posing foreign and and other Sc
curity measures made in the
Senate since l947 that closely
parallels statements previously
published in the Communist
Daily Worker. There are too
many of these things to be CO.
incidence.
"Taft's opposition at this time
to mobilization is another Daily
Worker line he is following.
This man does not oppose mo-
bilization of man so much as he
violently opposes mobilization OF
controls and excess profits. He
wants nothing to interior with
the making of new millionaires,
but is little concerned with the
blood of American soldiers.
Il challenge Senator Taft to
tell the people of the nation
now, if he can, how his line OF
reasoning is SO identical with
the Communist propaganda pat
tern"

And why did your boys OPP
pose the Mutual Defense AS
%sistance Act of 1949; and the
Economic Assistance Act for
Korea the same year? And a
little ECA for Korea, also in
1949?
If you are so hot about "curb-
ing Communism at home and
abroad" why did you give vir-
tual notice to the Commies in
1949 that you didn't care what
happened to Korea? Maybe you
forgot, Guy, but in 1949 your
boys in Congress were saying
that US aid for Southern Korea
was pouring money down a rat
hole" And the Communist ra.
dio quoted your boys with gleS.
Also, Guy, you better lay off
the old COP line about how the
Democratic Administration is
running business. That is, you
better lay off unless you can
get the papers to stop publish
ing the figures on the enormous
profits that business is piling UP
these days.
Maybe you ought to reverse
that lineup of detectives, and
make your third point your
Number 1. That No. 3 is sure
fire ito establish enduring
peace" But on second thought,
maybe you're right about leav-
ing it Number 3. For the Com
munists are for peace too, you
know. In fact, they've been cir
culating that Stockholm Peace
Petition all over the world, and
they've got millions of sigma
lures, including hundreds
thousands in our country. q
course, the signers are dopes.
and a lot of people are getting
wise, and exposing the Stock
holm petition as the phony that
it is.
Look, Guy, you really want to
know what old man Carter
thinks of your beautiful cam
paign for five million new
voters?
| say it's a good thing to
pound home the fact that peo-
pie ought to get out and vote.
But they won't come out for
you, and they won't vote for
you, if that's the best you can
offer in the way of ''objectives."
The people want to know
about mobilization plans; they
want to know what your boya
are doing, and what they prom
Use to do, about drafting money
as well a men; what about in
flation, what about profiteering,
what about price controls, and
rent controls? And as long as
your boys in Congress are cater
wauling about voluntary con-
trolls" while the cost of living
keeps looming, you won't get
your million volunteers, and
they won't get their five mil
lion new voters.

out five new votes each. That
makes 5000, 900 new votes,
and that will save the coun-
try.
It must be so, because Guy
Gabrielson says so. Gabrielson,
as chairman of the Republican
National Committee, has sent
out a special letter to 300 Re-
publican leaders the country
over, giving details of the
scheme.
Since they are going to save
the country, the patriots will
get red, white and blue buttons
Cat a slight price,; and cards for
wallets Cat a slight price,; and
there will be a plaque for the
first state to meet its quota, and
another for the state that leads
the parade.
And what is the sales talk?
Good old COP Guy comes
right out with the Republican
detectives. He puts them in this
order: To curb Communism at
home and abroad; end confu-
sion, chaos and corruption in
Washington; establish enduring
peace.
Yes sir, the major Republican
objective, according to tn e
chairman of the national COM
mittee, is to curb Communism at
home first, and then abroad.
Look, Guy - Joe Mccarthy
tried working that side of the
street for months. He didn't do
so good, remember?
Your natty special letter
winds up with 'flet me have
your reactions, as well as sug-
gestions how we might improve
this drives effectiveness"
Never one to let an appeal
like that go by, old man Carter
herewith gives you his reactions,
Guy, and they are for free.
People will begin to suspect
you don't have all your buttons
if you really try to tell them
that our major problem today
is to curb Communism at home
and abroad" Maybe if you had
reversed that order, people
would have cheered, because
curling Communism abroad is
exactly what the Democratic
Administration is doing right
now, in Korea.
And curbing Communism
abroad is exactly what the Adj
ministration is doing with the
Marshall Plan; and exactly the
intent of President Truman's
Point w.
Now, Guy, if your boys are
going to pose as champions of
fighting Communism, they will
have some very, very embarras-
sing questions to answer when
they're soliciting those five mil
lion new members.
Like, why did your party act
less than enthusiastic about the
Marshall Plan in the first
place? And why did your boys
in Congress kick like steers
about< ECA, and why did they
want to trim the funds for
ECA, and why did they try to
dream up all sorts of gimmicks
to hogtie the ECA funds?
And if the COP is so inte-
rested in curbing Communism
abroad, why did your boys in
Congress do their darndest to
mangle the appropriation for
Point Nv, which is the program
to aid people abroad so that
they won't fall for the phony
Communist line?
