Taft: Di.4iecvIsl

senator Robert A. Taft definitely jumped on the
wrong bandwagon last Wednesday in Durham, North Car

speech at the North Carolina College For Negroes.

Duffed his audience but their in declaring that the
Federal government should not require abolition of sep

But he failed to be told realize that the minority

Senator Taft certainly should not only consider this vote
but the potential ballot strength of the minority groups

Surely he il-afford to dscredt such volume of
ballots which could be added to those of Labor His will

Race Ignores

The greatest failure q The
American Communists has been
the complete fixxle of its attempt
TO recruit Negroes. Q prominent
Negro observer declares in the

Magazine.

No stone was left unturned,

mist drive, wilkins points out,
yet with all this strain and effort
II is estimated that not more
than 500 Negroes are Communist
Party members out of total Ne
gro population of 100000.
Their colossal failure can
be chalked up TO one simple
fact which the Communists
either ignored or just did not
comprehend. The American Ne
gro is an American. The vast
majority Of our colored citizens
have never even been fellow

The NAACP official reports
that the Communists are launch

ganda campaign from their new

wilkins asserts, The Harlem
operation is but another scheme
Of many debated and tried since
1920 to coral dark Americans.
1t will become a cropper as did
the others, for the Negro is far
wiser on Communist maneuvers
and double-talk than he was 80
years ago, and he is being bene-
fitted by wider opportunities and
better treatment. especially in
the last decade.
As long as these opporfuni-
ties increase. and discrimina.

A SbOrs Story
By Jim KJEEGAARD

'sThus you may understand why
many gunner envied Doc Morton,
and longed to try conclusions with
him. Do I make myself evident?
The man who bested Doc Morton in
a gun fight would inherit all his
laurels, become known and feared
far and wide as the man who had
killed Doc Morton.
BUT OF ALL those who 1onged
to pit themselves against him, there
was only one who dared.
His name was Curley Jacks, and
IN his own right he was a very IA
nous killer. There were fourteen
notches on the handle of his gun,
and Curley Jacks had not fought
with farmers or homesteaders. No,
he had gone against men who them
selves lived by the gun, and he
had triumphed
1T was the sixth of June when
Curley Jacks rode into Steerhead,
entered the saloon, and announced
that he was going to kill Doc Morton.
81 was IN that saloon, Msieu, and
when I heard Curley Jacks boast
in such a fashion I knew abject fear
and terror. Doc Morton was my
friend, and this Curley Jacks was
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-01-01

to Doc Morton's office, he was then
the marshal of Steerhead, and en-
treated him to flee. He had not had
a gun fight or drawn gun in two
years, not since he had killed Pablo
Gonzales, and this Curley Jacks
must have practieed intensely before
coming in to fight Doc Morton. When
had finished my pleas, and as
eloquently as could, had beseeched
Doc Morton to take himself to
place of safety, he laughed at me.
Louis he said, when this rip
shorter comes down the street Pll be
waiting for him.
THERE WAS NOTHING more I
could do, though I thought of taking
a rifle, lying in ambush, and myself
shooting Curley Jacks when he came
for Doc Morton. But to do that would
have been to heap eternal shame
upon the greatest man had ever
known. No, he must meet this man
himself, and do the best he could
when the time came to do something.
I tried then to force myself to leave
so that I would not be witness. But
it was as though I was rooted to the
spot and could not leave. All could
do was crouch behind a freight
wagon and wait.
81 saw Curley Jacks leave the
saloon. He was walking very
loosely, but very slowly, his eyes
darting into every window and
Granny as he came to it. He saw me
behind the freight wagon, but 1
turned my head away and he gave
me no further notice. There was only
one quarry he wanted.
''Then I saw Doc Morton emerge
from his office and, ah, Msieu, he
was magnificent. He stood very tall
and very straight, both hands at his
side and his gun in its holster. He
seemed to be smiling as he stood
there, and great calmness sat upon
him as he walked down the three
steps that led from his office to the
street.
HE WALKED SLOWLY toward
Curley Jacks. A hundred yards sep
arated them, and that became fifty

Of my great terror, I had reason tt

though more deadly. And knew
that nothing could swerve him from
his announced purpose of meeting
Doc Morton.
