The MississippiNe Soldier In Korea

One of the best and most soldiery pictures to come
out OF the Korean is the full page picture of Corp
Ollie Linn of Farm Haven, Mississippi in the current
issue OF Lie Magazine; taken together with the news
that Sgt. Walter W. Larkns of Vicksburg Mississippi
is among group to be given Battlefront Citation,
one gets reliable estimate of the courage bravery
sacrltlce loyalty, patriotism and conduct of the Misss
slppi Negro Soldier in the Korean war
In the stress and strain Of keeping the home front
IN line with the spirit and purpose of the war here in
Mississippi the commentaries on the need for keeping
the home front in line with the spirit and purpose Of
the war generally finds the home front spokesman using
me expression, While our boys there in Korea
fighting for democracy.
Some of the issues in connection with which the
home front spokesman in Mississippi use the expres
sion our boys do not always bear the implication that
our boys" included the Mississippi Negro Soldiers
1aklng Corp. Lin and Sgt Larkins as our example
and model the conclusion is that the Mississippi Negro
IS lighting for the same and identical kind of Democracy
Tor which all other soldiers of Mississippi are fghting
and this msplte of the story spread by Cynics Dema
gogueS, and MoronS, and repeated with strange kind
OF gee IN some quarters that somebody asked the cues

answer was he isn't fighting for anything He's fight

The Answer-A-Mississippi
Inter Racial Commission

NO speech or Public utterance of the Honorable
fleldlng L. Wright the distinguished Governor of Mis-
S!sslpp has aroused more widespread discussion than
ms speech here Monday before joint meeting of the
Jackson and Leavel Wood Exchange clubs calling upon
e white people to work for understanding and coopera
ton with Negroes in the fight against communism in
the state.
Intelligent Mssissippians of both races will at
once recognize the need for understanding coopera
ton among the white and Negro citizens of the state
not only to fight communism but in order to make Mis-
ssslppl greater and better state for both races
The Mississippi Division of the Southern Regional
Council organization free from the faint of having
been referred to communist front organization has
already recommended and is preparing to renew it's
recommendation to the distinguished Governor for the
appointment of a state Inter-racal Commission

tectve augmentation of the Monday speech than act

Morse, Humphrey
Seek cIoture
Rule Change

WASHINGTON, Aug. II = Dis
mayed by the inability to invoke
cloture under the present Wherry
rule, Senators Wayne Morse (R.,
Oreg.) and Hubert Humphrey Cd,
MIMI have introduced resolu-
ton to amend Senate Rule XXI to
provide for limitation of debate by
"a majority vote of those voting"
The resolution, which was intro
duced and referred to the Senate
Committee on Rules and Admins
tration on August 2, is the opening
move in a drive to revise the Sen
ate rules to make it easier to
break filibusters. Following the
failure to invoke cloture on the
motion to take up FEPC on May 10
and again on July IL, Walter
White, executive secretary of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, call
ed for revision of the Senate rules
as the only hope for enactment of
civil rights legislation.
Under terms of the so-called
Wherry compromise resolution, a.
dopted on March II, 1949, debate
may be limited only if S4 senators
vote for the cloture petition. Such
a vote has not been obtained since
adoption of that rule. The Morse
Humphrey resolution would shut
off a filibuster by a simple ma
jority vote. This is the kind of
rule which the NAACP advocated
at the opening of the 81st Con-
greSS.

Wallace spoke in Norfolk, Virginia when large
percentage of the Negro leaders afraid to attend
the meeting He accepted Paul Robson his associate
these momenous occasions and despite strenuous eff
forts to break up this partnership Henry Wallace went
on and on and ON to November crucxion, because he
believed he right and because he possessed that
type OF moral courage few possess. While Henry
Wallace did not win the presidency he did something
for free speech and free assembly that precious There
is question that from the high pedestal where he
stood crying out against prejudice and hate he did
something for social decency in this nation other
Individual could 1t is our sober judgment that it
the audacity and fortude of Henry Wallace under the
of hate and the aversion of Southern
that has given President Truman the bodness and
pluck to carry in his unreentng fight for civil rights
In other words Henry Wallace set precedent He gave
the nation rough draft of what should happen to the
conscience of America.
The thing that has been wrong with America is
that men and women of high influence and leadership
have been silent when they should have been vocal AS
much appreciated the leadership of the late presi
dent Roosevelt, we all must remember that the man
from Hyde park slow to speak out in condemnation
of ynching segregation and other despcabe forms of
race hate.
Wallace, when he had the chance was voice cry
ing in the wilderness.
We forget that memorable occasion when,
despite the fact he must have known he losing the
Presidency, he stood in the Democratic National
Convention and hurled philippe against wrong that
made his friends tremble for him. We gazing at
him that unruly mop of hair fell down his fore
head he hurled righteous nvective upon those as
sembed in that vast throng That is the Henry Wallace
we know and love We like who lets his conscience
guide him in critical moments. Henry Wallace shuns
expedency and sets his sail to catch the passing
breeze.
Henry Wallace believes in peace It is because he has
challenged the mongers in this country he is be-
ing showed into the discard and lacks the following that
he had While he believes in peace he the time
is patriotic enough to split with his party when adopts
program which indicates desire not to support the
current now in progress in Korea. We have in mind
that while Wallace believes differently organized
government might have lodged the shoals of war it is
the indispensable duty of every loyal American to Join in
extracting his native land from the difficult position in
which it finds itself. We have an idea he debated
the subject and concluded:
"Mine not to reason why
Mine but to do and die
And SO we drop tear as we observe true friend
of freedom stepping back from the front ranks It will
take the oncomng to Henry Wallace in prop
perspective. He is great American Long may he live
to offer advice and wisdom to those who see through
the glass of life darky.
