Give Our Youth 4 Hand

Supporting the United Negro College
Fund drive does not mean that you are en-
dorsng segregated schools Nor does It
mean that you oppose Indignation
Many persons have expressed the view
that Negroes are talking out of both sides
of their mouth when they contribute to
the upkeep of all-Negro schools and at the
same time support the NAACP and other
organizations which are fighting segregated
schools.
Support of both the College Fund and
the NAACP is not inconsistent at all. The
80 privately-supported colleges which par
ticipate in the Negro College Fund fill
need which neither the state-supported Ne
gro schools nor the publicly-supported
white schools fill. II every state university
and college In the South tomorrow were
opened TO Negroes, it still would be neces-
sary and desirable to maintain such old,
established colleges as Fisk, Talladega,
Hampton, Tuskegee and Morehouse
There are hundreds of southern youth
from rural areas who need the warmth, the
spiritual guidance and the close personal
supervision provided at the small private
schools with their religious backgrounds.
The education of all youth should not
be In hands OF the state. Thousands of
young white men and women. with large
state universities at their disposal, choose
instead to attend smaller privately-con-
trolled schools. Should Harvard university
be closed because the University of Massa-
chusetts exists? Such famous American
colleges and universities as Amherst,

On MacArthur's Dismissal

Former Congressman Vito Marcanton-

ing statement:
THE order dsmissing General Mac
Arthur was signed by President Truman,
but dictated by the American people.
THE White House has had to recognize
the meaning of mail to congressman and
the president which is running 100 to l in
favor of bringing the boys home from ko-
rea and stopping the senseess slaughter by
immediate negotiations for peace. From the
homes, the farms, the shops, the factories
of our land, comes the urgent mandate that
now is the great moment to end the hos
tilities and to substitute the conference la

of differences.

the University Of Chicago, Dartmouth and
Yale gre privately controlled colleges.
Would anyone suggest doing away with
them?
By the same token, should Fisk be
closed when the University of Tennessee
lowers its color bars? Or Atlanta university,
Bishop, billiard, Bennett, Clark, Philander
Smith, Tougaloo, Xavier or Wiley?
AS for the present. segregation is still
fact not a theory, in the South and inte-
grafton is theory and not fact. The 80
colleges participating in the College Fund
serve the great masses of Negro youth of
college age who would have little opportun-
ity to go to school otherwise because of
financial and other limitations
We doubt that the time will ever come
when America has too many schools When
indignation has come full bloom. there will
be many students white as well as Negro,
who will use the facilities of Lane and Le-
Moyne, Paine and Spelman.
The United Negro College Fund, by
providing the essential one-tenth of the in
come needed by these schools will enable
them to improve and prepare themselves
for the day when they will take their places
as American colleges with faculty, admin
istration and student body chosen without
regard TO race.
Our colleges will be in better position
to serve the educational needs Of an int
grated society if they are given the support
that they need through the United College
Fund. The drive now under way is worthy
of your support. The Kansas City Call

year-old Melvin Womack of Winter Garden,
Florida was the victim of an atrocious
lynching party who invaded his home, kid
mapped him and later shot him to death with
shotgun blasts. II is sad indeed that this
news comes at a time when this country
can least afford it, OF course, ii is terrible
that this type of incident should occur at
all. We feel that for this country's stand on
true democracy and world leadership such
practices should draw extended investiRa-

God Didn't Curse Ne -"
BY Clyde o. Jackson

A group of southern representatives
tried to attach segregation amendment
ON the House draft bill which was
passed last week While the bill was under
discussion, Congressman William L. Daw-
son, the 65-year-old Georgia born Negro
made one of his rare speeches before the
group. He denounced the segregation a
mendment as unjust and un-Ameriean tie
stated that he and thousands of other Ne
groes had gone to war at some time or
other in defense of this country and that
the color of their skin hadn't mattered then.
He defied the southern congressman to give
him the test that makes citizen of this
country a good American and that even IL
il meant death itself, he would take it. And
the most startling and challenging state
ment he made was this: God didn't curse
me when he made my skin black no more
than He cursed you when He made yours
white. When Mr.. Dawson finished his
speech there was a moment Of breathless
silence then loud and vigorous applause
even from many Of the white southerners
who had sponsored the bill. And so the
segregation amendment was defeated when
brought to a vote. But most Of the south
erners-hard hearted, vicious and un-com-
promising as ever-still voted for the a.

great victory for the millions of Americans
and for the people all over the world who
want peace. His plans for deliberately
spreading the area Of combat and for light
ing fuse on an atomic world war must be
decisyely and Internationally dismissed, a
long with himself.
"A change in military commanders is
not enough
There must be change sincere,
prompt and effective in the whole D.
partisan policy of war. There must be
halt to the scuttling of the four power peace
conference now going on, and a genuine ef-
fort at peaceful negotiation must be begun.
I'VE call upon President Truman 10
dismiss the program for war and TO install
a program for peace.
