for a tight race" between Pres
lident Truman and Senator Taft

Gen. Eisenhower will get the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
Il think Taft is going to be
the Republicans choice" he said
1T will be Truman VS.. Taft ano
that will be a tight race"
i want to get these corruption
and graft charges cleaned up SC
that we can make the campaign
on issues on which we can beat
Taft
Senator Taft already has said
he doesn't believe any Truman
appointed group can clean its own
house and for that reason ex-
poets the morality issue to be q
top one.
Senator Anderson said he thinks
Senator Taft will win the G. o. p
nomination because Gen. Eisen-
hover has not yet indicated pub
licly that he will be a candidate
and has declined to say if he is
a Republican or a Democrat.
1T will be worth something to
some Republicans to be able to
say that they were for Taft before
1852. if he gets the nomination -
Senator Anderson said. He is
lining up lot of prospective dele
gates who don't want to wait
around to the last minute to pick
their candidate"

In a weekly radio address, Gov.

Southern Train
Wreck Stirs New
Jim Crow Fight

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 - The
death of fifteen Negroes in a Jim
Grow coach on the Inflated "Sou-
therner," which was involved in a
disastrous wreck on November 25,
gave new impetus to the fight of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
to secure enforcement of the
United States Supreme Court de-
cision banning segregation in inter
state commerce.
"The Association will not rest
until all segregation in transpor-
tation is removed" NAACP Spe-
cial Counsel Thurgood Marshall de-
clared. Mr.. Marshall sent letters
to all branches of the NAACP,
urging an immediate check of seq
regation policies of railroads in
their localities to serve as basis
for an about attack against these
Jim Grow practices.
In letter to E. E. Norris, presi-
dent of the Southern Railway Sys-
tenn, Mr.. Marshall deplored the
death of the fifteen Negroes in the
segregated car. "This graphic
demonstration of the evil of segre-
cation cannot be overemphasized,"
he asserted. "But for the segre-
cation policies of the Southern
Railway, Negro passengers would
have been distributed throughout
the train and would have had an
equal chance of survival"
The NAACP attorney requested
an immediate discrimination of
the railways segregation policy,
Gin obedience to the discussion of
the United States Supreme Courts
and also Gin the name of human
decency." He indicated that the
NAACP national office had re-
ceived a number of complaints
from Negro passengers being
forced to sit in Jim Grow cars, and
that the Association has been pro-
cessing these cases and awaiting
action by the railroads.

STRAIGHT
AHEAD"
By julius ]. Adams

NEW YORK - (Global) - The
other day, there was something in
the newspapers about the one
millionth Displaced Person OPP
being settled in Texas. 1t is doubt
full If too many Americans have
been aware of the fact that so
many new people had been coming
to our shores. We have lots of
space left in the United States s..
if one can see beyond the teeming
streets of New York and Chicago,
and another million folk will not
crowd us if they are sensibly dis
tributed.
What does concern us, though,
is how these new people are being
oriented. 1t would be a tragedy if
these people, given a haven here
to escape persecution and bigotry
are permitted to come to this coun-
try and add their voices and ac-
lions to the maintenance and fur
thering of the prejudices and bigo-
try that already abound
As matter of fact, it would be
providential if these new people,
knowing the evils of oppression
and bigotry, would counsel bigoted
Americans and try to sway them
from their evil practices.
1t will be interesting to see just
what happens to the DPS who set
tie in Texas; to see whether they
do their best to suppress prejudice
and bigotry among their new
neighbors by pointing out how de-
grading it is, or whether they will
become good Texans and accept the
patterns of prejudice and impose
the evil practices on Negroes and
other minorities in their midst.
During World War l, when many
Negroes were leaving the rural
south for various sections of the
urban north and middle west, the
Urban League was organized to
help these people become adjusted
to their new way of life.
What happened was that !. +. al
though they are not given much
credit for it /. j. these Negroes
working among northern whites
did much to change the commune
ties from merely non-hostile ones
to aggressive opponents for de-
mocracy. In this connection,
Negroes have been more effective
in improving race relations as they
have moved about the country than
have whites. For, far too many
whites born and reared in the
north and, therefore, without in
tense feeling against any group,
often found themselves becoming
"southernized" once they moved in
to Dixie. 1t is to be hoped the DPS
will become missionaries, rather
than allow themselves to become
missionized.
In order that this matter is not
left to change, it would be advis-
able for certain Negro groups to
investigate the agency administer
ing the Displaced Persons program
/. and urge upon the United States
Government, through the said
agency to include in the orienta-
ton program some emphasis on
good citizenship, and that a part
of that emphasis should be the con-
forming to the spirit and letter
of our Declaration of independence

operation is but another scheme of

When death it called for him to go
Death found his soul alright.
He had a wife to pray for him
And one day he saw the light
Thank God my soul is free from

For one more Saint to come in
