A tentative $31 million slash is
reported to have been made in

Departments Voice of America
and related activities.
The action came on a narrow
7-to-6, vote by a Senate Appro-
|priations subcommittee consider
ing operating funds for the State
Department, one Senator re-
ported last night.
The House previously has
slaShed these funds to $85 million,
or $50 million below administra.
ton requests.
Despite personal protests by
President Truman and Secretary
OF State Acheson, the Senate SUBJ
committee allowed only $54 mil
lion. This was $31 million less
than the House and about hall
the original requests.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada, frequent State De-
partment critic. is chairman of
the purse string subcommittee and
he refuses to comment on this
action.
The Senator who reported the
slash would not permit use of his
name.
The action still is subject to
approval by the full 21-member

in the city of LA. and the small
number Of Negroes represented

power?
Responsible for Own Plight
After making a careful survey
Of over half Of the U.S.A. I am of
the opinion that the Negro in at
least nine out of ten cases is re-
sponsible for his own plight. We
have got to stop being satisfied
with just a good job or decent
place to sleep, food to eat and an
automobile TO drive.
A race does not progress in
such manner, you must sacrifice
TO have your place of business in
Watts or some other like it and
live in Beverly Hills, Remember,
you do not do it working on a job.
Another thing to remember is
that you do not start out big. You
start small and grow up.
l say to the young Negro. if you
set your goal high and work to-
wards it, you are bound to get
there. There is nothing that a
man cannot accomplish if he has
faith in God and himself and
works to that end
DO not say that your color is
handicap 20 you for that is
not true. II you use IT right, IL
can be an asset TO you.
A great thing to remember is
that we live in the future and
not in the past. Why not start to-
day to build something construc-
tive for yourself and your poster
ity.
