Wool Shorta ge

The reason Hitler lost the battle
Of Stalingrad was that Nazi troops
acked protective wooden clothing 70
continue the sub-zero siege. Many
froze to death before the German
retreat. However, this historic les
son has been lost on our own
munitions board, which has been
even more remiSs in stockplling
wool for the war effort than in
building reserves of vital mangan-
ese. AS a result, we are desperately
short of wool for uniforms, over
coats, socks, blankets, etc. to carry
on a prolonged war.
That is why the State Depart
ment today is trying frantically to
make a sub-rosa deal, through the
British government, for the pur-
chase of the 1850 Australian wool
crop before the international auc-
tions late this month. The reason
is to head off the Russians, who
are preparing to outbid us in the
Australian market by offering sky
high prices.
Painful story behind all this is
that the Quartermaster Corps and
members of Congress have been
pleading for more than year with
the munitions board to begin stock
piling wool.
Col Frank M. S5edman of the
Quartermaster Corps, in letter to
the board last April -, warned that
time is short" and that supplies
of apparel wool were the lowest
since 1870" Again on July %, a
month after the Korean war start
ed, the Quartermasters reported
that domestic wool stocks were
sufficient only to keep mills in
operation until November l, 1885,"
adding:
"All existing stocks are reported
to be contracted for by clothing
manufacturers, so that only freeze
order would make them available
for military requirements"
Sen. Lester Hunt of Wyoming,
chairman of an armed services SUBJ
committee set up to investigate
scarce materials also has been un-
able to prod the munitions brass
hats into action-after repeated
warnings.
Though Hunt and his colleague,
Joe O'Mahoney, represent the big
gest wool producing state in Che
nation, they have unselfishly urged
the munitions board to begin large
scale purchases in foreign markets.
Note-one of those chiefly re-
sponsible for the munitions board
wool policy is Maj. Gen. Patrick
w. Undertake.

Congressional Reaction

AS a sample of private Con-
gressional reaction, Williams re-
ceived letter from Senator
Mundt, dated May 16, and ad-
dressed Dear Harvie."
II am still inclined to believe
that the merger at the Congress
ional level has too many prac-
tical barriers to make it feasible
at this junction and that the most
realistic approach is one which
would handle this matter in the
electoral college" the senator from
South Dakota suggested.

CRISIS IN KOREA

1t seems to be widely agreed that the most critical
point in the defense of Korea has already been
reached or will shortly be upon u.s. For five weeks
we have been trading space for time The space is
running out for us. The time is running out for our
enemies.
There is apparently full realization of this fact
in the Communist camp since what would otherwise
be held to be prohibitive losses disregarded in
the effort to mount an about attack. There is a
strong element of desperation in these tactics.
Similarly. there is the element Of grim desperation
in an announcement, such as General Walkers, that
there can be no further yielding; the lines must be
held Our forces still outnumbered than four
to one and still out-gunned the ground, must hang
on until this frightfu disparity can be redressed.
1t seems evident now that there mscalcula-
tons in the beginning on both sides. All our early
estimates of North Korean manpower have been sharp
ly revised upward. The estimate of the number and
effectiveness of the tanks that would be used has
been long since discarded The enemy has already
committed more than he was believed to have
under arms We have already knocked out more than
twice as many tanks said to be in North
Korea If, in the beginning, we placed too much
confidence in our ability through the air and naval
arms to interdict the enemys movements of men and
supplies that misapprasa has also been corrected
On the other side of the picture, the Communist
estimate j real and potential resistance was ast
badly out of line. 1t doubtless this factor that
was in the mind of General Macarthur when he de-
clared that the enemy had already lost his opportunity
for victory Knowing what we know about North
Korean military strength it is easy to see how the
Communists would conclude that they could, against
the poorly armed South Koreans overrun and master
the entire peninsula in but few days. They could
not have made this mistake if they had been assured

Psinstaking Plan

Williams has vet firth his So
called "politicM realignment'' plan
in painstakine detail in series
of strictly confidsntial" menios
which are also niarked :"Piease dc
not discuss outside sympathetic
circles" ~
"Our plan fer political realign-
ment is a simple one" he writes.
at involves nothing more than
formal alliance between Repub-
licans and southern Democrats in
the Senate, in the House and in
the electoral college"
OF the "a senators in the Repub-
lican- southern bloc, Williams cal
culates that three southerners and
seven Republican senators would
refuse to join the alliance. This
would still leave a ma ority OF 81
seats to A. In the House he ex-
poets to losess2l Republicans and
10 southerners,s giving the coalition
control of the House by 240-to-
1876 margin.
Williams explains: I'm effect.
this realignment would create a
new party, but without the neces-
sity of any change of party names.
This realignment is legally pos
sible now. The rules of the Sen
ate and the rules of the House
speak of the majority and of the
minority rather than of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans; and mem
beers of Congress are elected under
the election laws of the 48 states
Similarly" he continues, Pres
idential electors are elected under
the laws of the several states.
The 1913 secession Of the DEM
ocratic parties in four southern
states indicates the method and
the possibilities of extending re-
alignment into the election of the

money to provide food clothing, and of the things
which goes to make Christmas cheerful for the poor
INDECENT, and less fortunate of those amongst u.s.
The spirit which prompts the organization in the

those who carrying the work of the organization
Every year. catching the spirit which prompts the
organization of Christmas Cheer Clubs and creates the
desire to spread cheer among the poor INDECENT and less
fortunate amongst us, large number of families are
adopted by the fortunate and provided with food
clothing and some of those things which make Christ
cheerful
Last Christmas two hundred odd families were
adopted in Jackson larger number of which Negro
families According to the best available information
everyone of the families adopted both Negro and white
adopted by the more fortunate white families.
There can be no denying the fact that there are
goodly number of Negro families in jackson who rightly
belong to what referred to here the fortunate
sive automobiles, fine homes and other visible evidence
of opuence may well place them in class beyond

for the adoption of last Christmas.
In the face of his growing economic betterment

and more watched by white people in attempting
to and evaluate the Negroes feeling of civic
social and community responsibility.
In the above view, until some of the more fortunate

A Course OF Action In Education

President Colgate w. Darden Jr, of the University
of Virginia and former governor of that state has
recommended to meeting of the southern governors,
what consider, of the most sound and compre-
hensve of action to eliminate racial discrimna
ton in education opportunities in this section.
First he recommended, without equivocation, the
admttance of citizens of both to the state grad
ate and professional schools
Second, he advocates the immediate improvement
of the Negro College, land we assume to the point of
equality with the white Undergraduate colleges as far
as courses and facilities concerned)
Third, his plan also calls for the appointment of
Negro to the school boards or commissions that
are charged with the responsibility of school programs
This course of action, in solving the race ISSUE as
far as educational opportunities concerned should
be acceptable if those in authority should enter into it
with spirit OF sincerity and determination live up to
the principle of eliminating inequality based on race
But to carry out this course of action, President
Darden very correctly stated it would require Intel
responsibility upon first the leadership of race and
second upon white public officials Our people have and
we believe will show the intelligence necessary But the
question is will the public officials show the intelligence
and courage to do their part? We hope they WILL and
realizing how badly misused has been the racial ISSUE we
think our people make additional contribution in
solving this problem by constantly and determningy,
building their voting strength.
After ALL live in political democracy and those
in public office have tendency to constantly bear in
mind the registration list of the voters
Dr. Darden also pointed out, in his address, fact
that our people too well know when he stated in count
less instances he has the segregation laws used as
shield of humiliation. exploitation and oppression.
Another significant statement, made by the Vir-
gnia educator 1.-THE ultimate settlement lies in the
hearts and minds of the and women of the races
concerned whose sense of history and of justice such
to bring together in program, that which
is at once equitable and acceptable
We believe, majority of the people in both races
in the state recognize the truth of the above statement
And eventually they will express their will in effec-
tive
Let hope, those in public office with the respon-
sibity of administering public educational affairs will
give due consideration to the advice of the former COVER
nor of sister state.
