students" of the question.
She afterwards married and
brought up a fine family having
the financial backing of her
wealthy father. If love then cross
es the slave-mistress lines, it is
not difficult to see how it may
cross any other lines. These
white-Negro marriages attract at
tention because of their rarity and
do not in themselves amount to
much biologically; while socially
they enjoy a unique popularity.
This writer was terribly troubled
some weeks ago by a conversat-
ion he had with a young Negro
woman, 81 make my way about
New York City by day and night
and 1 often frequent the night
clubs as a matter of broadening
my knowledge of New York life.
In frequenting these clubs / note
with some alarm that whereas the
Negro man usually bring out their
white lady friends, l seldom see
a white man bring his Negro lady
friend. The thing is so one-sided
that it hurts".
Of course, it must have hurt her
for it hurt me even as she spoke.
1t is not going to get us very far
if our men are fonder of white
woman than the white men are of
Negro women. There is something
in this situation that is tragic and
dangerous. Of course, marriage is
a very personal affair but person
al affairs are also social affairs.
While there may be some person
al attractions that hurtle lovers
across race lines, the fact re-
mains, there is nothing to prove
that a Negro betters himself mere
ly by marrying white any more
there is to prove that the white
mar worsens himself by marrying
black.
Personally this writer hates to
see anything that indicates that
Negroes r fonder of whites than
whites are Of Negroes. So then
when Lena Horne marries white,
it gives a much needed tone to the
few interracial marriages we hear
too much about. Lena Horne's
choice is our concern!

For AMP
Lena Horne's Choice
The recently published fact
that Lena Horne, Jul stage idol,
has married white is news of no
ordinary Importance. Ever and
anon we read of prominent Ne
gro men marrying white; but sell
dom do we read about Negro
women marrying white. AS stub
bornly opposed as this writer is
to ~interracial marriage, he cer-
tainly favors it over the old con
cubinage procedure, where men
and women who in many instances
really loved were forbidden to
marry both by laws and customs.
The greatest objection to in
termarriage hinges about the lack
of reciprocity that is too manifest.
AS long as the white man refuses
to take wife the fair daughters of
Ham, this writer wants to see Ne
gro refuse to take unto themselves
Anglo-Saxon wives. There is no
biological objection to intermar-
riage. All or most ofthe objections
are social and these are tremend-
ously important.
When Negro men manifest a
greater desire to marry white wo-
men than white men manifest to
marry Negro women, we have
fundamentally a vexing problem
that does not lend itself to easy
solution. Personally this writer
does not feel that there would be
a stampede of intermarriage even
if all social and legal barriers
were removed. In the final an
alysis Negro men prefer Negro
women and whites have like pre-
ference But there have always a.
risen circumstances where love
cuts sharply across race lines and
then the customs and more are
Haunted to the four winds.
In the days of. slavery and at
ter, when attempts yer made to
legislate race purity, concubinaget
was made inevitable. There have
been times when whites and Ne
gros would not be denied as they
sought the sweet solace of love
and it's satisfactions. vuite we'll do
l remember spending the night
with an old Baptist preacher in
South Carolina many years ago,
and in the morning after breakfast
we were walking through the
woods. I took note Of the fact and
made mention of the same, that
he was a mulatto and that his
father was probably white.
mo" said he, "my father was
black and my mother was white.
I was schocked, for he vas born
a slave. He knew the whole story
how his mother had fallen in love
with her fathers slave and to this
love, he was born. His mother was

To Run Against

Powell
BY Alvin E. White

NEW YORK (ANP)- Elmer
A. Carter, member of the State
Committee Against Discrimination
has been designated as the Re-
publican Party candidate to OPP
pose Adam Clayton Powell for
Congress this fall.
Carter, an Independent Demo-

The former editor of Opportunity
magazine, and Harvard graduate
served with the N. Y. State La
Dor department before he was
named to the SCAD.
Dipping into the ranks of in
dependent Democrats for a can
didate gives credence tothe report
that Republican state chairman,
Thomas Curran wants a coalition
candidate to defeat Adam Powell.
A successful coalition sent
Earl Brown to the City Council
replacing Communist Ben Davis.
Brown has been the target Of a
"coalation" man is a registered

tooing' the selection.
In the 22nd district, Adam Po-
well has been given the Democrat
ic designation and blessing of Car
for theatricals and social activities
rather than the districts sterner
problems.
So arises another candidate,
disappointed supporter ever since.
Again, the coalition device was
called upon to name a candidate
to oppose Vito Marcantonio in
the 18th district. In each case, the

tonic accused Of being a Mussolino

interior Secretary Oscar Chap
man has warned of the need to
find new sources Of raw mater
ial for the steel industry. He
pointed to diminishing domestic
iron ore and raised the possible
ity of restricted steel productions
within the foreseeable future.
Chapman testified before a
Congressional inquiry into bust
ness.
Chapman recommended two
steps as tying in with the deple-
tion of American ore supplies.
One, the St. Lawresce Seaway
project. He said this would pro4
vide low cost transportation of
foreign ores to the Great Lakes
steel producing centers.
Chapman also recommended
selecting locations in New Eng

board for new steel mills. New
