the individual taking on the mob
at staggering odds, the suggestion
of it is rather admirably averted
in the film.
The script directed by Alfred
E. Green is a sometimes toe
painstaking recall of the details OF
Jackie's career.
Picking up Jackie as a football
star at U.C.L.A., the film has a lot
to say about the Negro athlete in
general as well as its hero in par
ticlar.
1t shows how Robinson escapes
the fate of his older brother,
Mack. also a college star who ends
up with street sweeper's job. 1t
is not much of an escape, but
Jackie did catch on with a great
colored transforming team. Un-
til Rickey's summons came, this
meant travel in buses, and eating
and sleeping in them in segre-
gated areas; it meant pinch-pen-
ny pay for brilliant performance;
playing before scanty crowds and
for managements which found
few inducements to consideration
for their players.
Organized baseball, except for
its promise for the future, was
even worse in its first phases but
Robinson had been prepared for
this by hickey. He had to win his
welcome and this was a lot harder
than hitting big league pitching.
1t had its dozens of Jim Crow
aspects. some of which the loyal

girl who married him, had to SUI
fer with Robinson.
The films method Of telling
these things puts the burden upon
Robinson, who is smart enough to
know that he is not an actor, and
smarter in simply being himself
instead of trying to act. 1t is as
winning in its way as his style
has been winning on the diamond.
X X X y
Actually. in spite of the fervent
work of such players as Watson,
Ruby Dee. Louise Beavers and
others, "The Jackie Robinson
Story" is a triumph of a mans
personal drama over the manner
of its presentation.
There is lot more to it's hero
than the way he hits, fields, and
steals bases as the Dodgers Sec
ond baseman.

actor but he is quite man. The
latter is far more important to
the telling of his story on the
screen, for the film produced by
Eagle-Lion with the most admir-
able of intentions is full of techni-
cal limitations.
None of these, however. can OBJ
sc'lre the fact that Jackie lived
an adventure that required more
of character and courage than it
did of athletic skill. There were
Negroes before him with batting
eyes as sharp, hands as sure and
agile, and legs as lightning fast,
but they never had Jackie's chal-
lenge to meet.
THE Jackie Robinson Story"
with Jackie himself as its star,
recalls the agonized steps that led
to his leap over one of the highest
walls of prejudice. There is a
documentary drama in this that
lies beyond destruction by the
artificialities of the production in
which even the baseball sequences
are frequently synthetic looking.
II X u
Robinson's feats as a Dodger,
including a most valuable player
award, have dimmed memory OF
how he came to his present pres
tige. Eagle-Lion was vividly right
in deciding this was far too good
a story to be lost in today's cheers
for Jackie's fame.
Co-hero of the script by Law

is Branch Hickey, general manager
of the Dodgers. This Is the man
who not only gave Robinson his
chance. but the stoical inspiration
to stick it out against insuffer-
able odds. Minor Watson's por-
trait of Hickey is another honest
one. 1t presents him as Christian
gentleman, but one who is neither
to the extent of tolerating a los
ing baseball team.
He figures that helping Robin
son win the prejudice fight is
sound way to help the Dodgers
win pennants.

Carroll Is The Traditional
Friend OF Negroes

When we talk about fairness and equal treatment
of all citizens regardless Of position and wealth.
by our County Officials let's talk about our Prosecuting
Attorney Charles O. Carroll
we have never had prosecuting attorney who
knew ear problems and has the real personal aoquan-
lance with The district in which so many of us live as
does Charles o, Carroll He. grew up among us. He
attended Msdrena school Ne was one of the boys who
played touch football nayfields, and represented
Garfield High School on The city teams Some of our
best known athletes played on these teams with him.
Our long time residents remember when as a boy,
he carried newspapers 70 their homes during the first
world war He still lives nearby Many of our people
know him as a close personal friend.
Carroll knows better than most people the truth
about pride in community and the effort
make to keep it worthy of families and
inspiration for children He has taken special inter
in youngsters who have before the courts
the delinQuents who come from community they
come from all communities
mo prosecutor in the past has been willing to
cooperate in attempts to rehabitate these boys and
arrange plans for keeping them of future trouble
No has done much in the work of assisting
mothers of small children to get the help they need to
bring these children up properly.
when Carroll took office he kept on his staff
Deputy John E. Prim Negro lawyer who had been doing
good job Prim belongs to the opposite political party
and had originally been appointed by another prosecutor
But Carroll retained him because he felt he qualified
to do the job and in addition could lend hand in Car
rolls own program against discrimination.
I'VE have a real champion in Charles o. Carroll
who extends every possible consideration both

traitor in the republican party
when it found it was about to
lose control over the national
government and the destiny
of the country; Andrew John
son, man compared to whom,
Benedict Arnold was a Sunday
school teacher.
There is little doubt in the
minds of any one that the as
sassination of Lincoln was a
carefully matured plot of South
ern Shareholders and Northern
Copperheads to kill Lincoln
and elevate johnson to the Pres
idency. Johnson's first act was
to grant amnesty and pardon
to almost all Confederates,
with restoration of all rights of
property except in slaves. This
act restored to the plantation
owners all of the land they for
merly owned, some of which
had already been divided among
the former slaves, who aided
by the republican administra-
ton had begun to work the
fields and had instituted a sys-
tenn of schools and self govern
ment. Johnson's second decree
ordered that state conventions
be held in the south. and that
the only persons who could vote
would be those who were elig-
ible for the suffrage by the
laws of 1860. Certainly no Ne
groes were eligible to vote
under such a decree.
In these conventions was
passed what was known as the
black codes, forbidding Negroes
to own land. to change their
place of work, to testify against
whites, to intermarry or to
carry arms. Stringent vagrancy
and apprenticeship laws were
framed to bind Negroes to
forced labor on plantations. A
series Of sedition acts were di-
rected against joint action by
Negroes and whites, Jim Crow
assembly and transportation
laws were enacted, and lIissis-
sippi refused to ratify the 18th
amendment which had abol-
ished slavery and actually de-
clared all laws of chattel slav-
cry again in force except so
far as the mode and manner
of trial and punishment has
been changed by law.
These are only few of the
things, that coupled with the
attitude of Northern Copper
heads, eager to reestablish trade
relations with the south and
willing to sacrifice the Negro if
necessary, to accomplish their
purpose, that made it impos-
sible for the Republican party
to do many things it might
have done for the Negro people.
1t seems impossible to me

Facts The People Should Know
A w e ky Dig e S t
BY Prentis |. Frazier

There are many thousands
OF Negroes throughout the
United States who vote the
democratic ticket because they
feel that the republican party
following the abolition of slav-
cry, failed to do many things
| il could have done for the Negro
people. They feel that had the
republican party, when in
power. enforced the 18th, 18th
land 10Th amendments to the
constitution, that there would
be no need today for passing
of such laws as fair employ
Iment practice, anti-lynching and
equal opportunity for all that
the democratic party faithfully
promises every time it needs
the Negroes votes to remain
in power,
On the surface this line of
reasoning seems to be logical
but check Of the record of
what really happened during
those years tell a different
story. First we should take
into consideration that the dem
oeratic party has been in exis-
tence a long time ever since the
days of Thomas jefferson /;
while the republicans held iti
first convention in 1856. The
democratic party throughout
its existence had been shrewd,
ruthless and resourceful. 1t
favored the institution of slav-
cry and its leaders commended
that the black man existed for
no other reason than to serve
the white man. 1t prosecuted its
political opponents with ostra-
cism, with prison and often
with death. 1t routed the wings
to the extent that that party
passed completely off the the
atre of the nations activities.
In the decades between Jack
son and Lincoln, the democrats
made and mmade presidents,
appointed foreign diplomats.
packed the Supreme Court and
held the Senate in the hollow
of his hand.
1t wrote the nation S laws,
checked the development of in
dustry, seized fresh lands for
slavery. and kept the Negro
people in the meanest and most
shameless form of mans en-
shaving recorded in the annals
of history. 1t took what it
wanted by fair means or foul
and what it could not take, it
resorted to compromise to at
tain The Missouri Compromise
if 1920 and Clay's so-called
great compromise of 1850 attest
to that.
The reason why the 18th, 18th
and 10Th amendments to the
constitution We're not enforced
as they should have been was

ACT TO RENEW G.I. ms.

Veterans of World War II
living in the Pacific Northwest
are reminded by the Veterans
Administration that many Of
them will have to convert or
renew their present National
Service Life Insurance policies
sometime this year.
Failure to do so, the VA said,
may result in the loss of their
G. |. insurance, unless they are
able to pass a physical exam

The VA explained that G. l.
policies issued in 1912 have
eight years to run before they
must be converted or renewed.
Since 1912 was a year of heavy
recruitment by the armed
forces, thousands of N. w. vet
Grams have insurance policies
that will expire sometime this
year.
The VA emphasizes that vet
Grams must apply for their new
policies before their old ones
expire.
Veterans are advised to write
