Straight Ahead

to tell a powerful story-and ii
should be told.
Negroes whose lives have been
such that they have been provid-
ed with the material for good
stories that ought to be passed on
to future generations, just refuse
to write. Yet, they sit back and
blame others because the true
story of the Negro in America is
not told, or is distorted and but
chered.
The late DR.. Carter G Woodson
the historian, did a matches job,
but it was almost a one-man VEN
ture. Joel Rogers has done an ex-
cellent job on the Black man of
the world. But the current his
tory of the Negro In the United
States has not been told.
With the exception of Walter
White of the NAACP, none Of the
men who have headed our social
agencies has written anything.
None of the editors of present
day newspapers has done any
better than their predecessors
The same goes for others who
hold positions of leadership in re-
ligious, civic, fraternal, business
and professional organizations
Negro reporters also have been
equally derelict.
This is in striking contract to
the activity of White newspaper
men. There is hardly name re-
porter, whether he is in politics,
sports, amusementS or writes in
the general field, who hasn't writ
ten at least one book. Many OF
them have written several. One
can count the Negro reporters
who have written books count
them on one hand, with fingers
to spare.
1t is up to us to contribute our
share toward the preservation of
our history. Others can never be
expected to do quite as we'll when
writing about us as we should be
able to do for ourselves.

Perhaps the paramount reason
for conspiracies against Emperor
SelasSie in this by no means unit
ed nation of several races, reli-
gions, and language groups is the
manner of his ascension to the
throne.
Halle Selassie in 1928 was
known as Ras (generaD Tafari,
son of one of Emperor Menelik's
most trusted army leaders. Upon
Menelik's Zawditu, Habta Clio
yorgis, and Tafari as partners,
When GioyorgiS died, the young
Tafari hungry for power, brought
his army and ancient Italian tanks
into Adds, threatened to level the
gibbi to the ground unless Zaw-
ditu surrendered her royal pre-
negatives.
After gaining the crown, Ras
Fafari, alleged illigimate son of
Ras Makonnen, took the throne
name of Halle Selassie, Ngast
Ngus liking of kings) and the my
Rad other Ethiopian monarchs
love so well.
Selassie's early reign was mark
ed by plots, counterplots, and
civil war in the southern provinces
where many natives felt that Ras
Hailu, relative of Menelik who
died last May at lis, was the
rightful heir to the throne.
For those and other reasons
death for the present conspirators
lead by Alto (minister) Negash,
will be unpopular.
The emperor is aware of this
feeling and ordered tightening of
the security curfew before this
writer left Adds.

land where disease and death are

! Interracial School
Featured In Look

New York, Oct. % - Negro and
White boys, and Negro and White
staff members all work and play
harmoniously together at Wilt
wyck, privately financed inter-
racial school at EsopuS, NY,
where "boyS are made over" This
is the theme of an article on Wilt
wyck in the issue of Look maya
zine Just published. The article
shows many photographs of the
Negro and White boys at play to-
gether, often under the supervision
of a Negro counselor.
The staff at Wiltwyck School,
which includes teachers, nurses,
counSelors and social workers, is
about half Negro and half White.
Several of the Negro staff men,
bers are featured in the article.
These include the residential di-
rector, Mr.. Edward P. Norris, a
native of Baltimore, Md, and a
graduate of the New York School
of Social Wsrk. Mr.. Norris lives
with his mother, Mrs. Florence
House, in cottage on the school
grounds, where Mrs. House well
comes all the boys to frequent
home-parties.
Another Negro staff member,
Mr.. Coolidge Abel Bey France,
of Atlanta, Ga, is shown super
vising a mixed group of boys, and
again, helping a White boy write
letter to his family. Serving as
a summer counselor only, Mr..
France is a student at Meharry
Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.
Miss Anna B. Chase, a Negro
Social Worker from Brooklyn,
N. Y, is featured on one of the
pages with a laudatory headline,
reading: miss Chase likes all the
boys"
Wiltwyck School for Boys is an

years of age, referred and COM

NEW YORK - (Global) One
of the few Old Guard journalists
who did so much to advance the
cause of the race in the days
when the struggle was really
rough, is the venerable Wendell
Phillips Dabney, sage of Cincin-
natl and editor of the Union of
that city.
There were others: Nicholas
Chiles of the Topeka Plain Deal
er; Robert S. Abbott, the Chica-
go Defender; Fred R. Moore,
New York Age; William Monroe
Trotter, Boston Guardian; Rob-
ert L. Vann, Pittsburgh Courier;
Roscoe c. Simmons, A. N. Fields,
and a number of others.
All these men, now dead, knew
the troubles of the race, shared
them and worked to improve the
Negroes plight. Moreover, all of
them plunged deep into politics,
and knew the political history Of
the Negro first hand during the
early years of this century and
knew it from hearsay and books
of the Nineteenth Century.
Unfortunately, though, not one
of them has left very m u h
in writing that could guide or in
Spire the youth of today. True
enough, a student trained in re-
search could dig into the files Of
the newspapers edited by these
men or newspapers for which
they wrote sand come up with
some interesting material. But,
it is seriously doubtful if the real
story any of them could have
told, could be pieced together
quite as they might have told it..
Nor have we anything from the
leading politicians of another
day, who might have told inter-
eSting stories for example,
Edward H. Wright, Oscar De-
Priest, and Louis B. Anderson of
Chicago; Ferdinand Q. Morton,
Charles Anderson of New York;
Walter H. Cohen of Louisiana;
Benjamin Davis, Henry Lincoln
Johnson Of Atlanta and William
H. Lewis, the elder, Of Boston.
Not one of them left a line, al
though all were urged at one time
or an another by their friends to
"tell their story"
We haven't heard directly from
Mr.. Dabney for some time now,
but we sincerely hope his health
is fine, and that he will remain
perched high on his editorial stool
for many years to come dashing
off his fascinating Gossip and Re-
Elections for all of us to enjoy.
However, we hope he has given
serious thought to writing a book
about his Life and Times"
With such long and colorful
career in journalism, in Govern
ment and with the Army, as well
as in civic and community af-
fairs, Mr.. Dabney would be able

DRIVERS and pedestrians alike"
Mr.. Reeder said, "are accustomed
to the longer hours of daylight
during summer, and forget to al
low for the added dangers of dark
ness during the first several hours
after sunset.
This fact is proved by studies
of the National Safety Council
which show that during the winter
months about two-fifths of all pc

first three hours after sunset, as
compared with about. one-fifth dur
ing the summer months when these

Mr.. Reeder said this sudden sea-

stresses the Importance of knowing
the rules for safe night-walking,
and of always obeying them.
Merely knowing the rules Of
safety and observing them just

USE OF ATOMIC
ARMS FAVORED
Sen. Frear Says Allies Should
Consider Use of Atomic
Weapons in Korea
mo END IN SIGHT,

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear said this week that the Unit
ed States and its Allies should con-
slider the use of atomic weapons
against the Communists in North
Korea unless they agree to truce
terms promptly.
In his weekly statement, the
Senator declared that at present
we are involved in a battle of at
trition dn which from the point of
view of manpower the United Ma
tions are at a decided disadvant-
age. The Delaware lawmaKer sug-
gested that the time has come for
this country and its Allies to issue
an ultimatum to the Red aggres-
sors to the effect that they agree
to a cease fire or suffer the conse-
quence of atomic bombings. DE
spite our ideahsm and our hatred
of war and destruction" Mr.. Frear
said, 1--WE must face with grim real
ity the continued killing and maim-
ing of our most indispensable pos
sessions-young American lives to
whose leadership we must look for
the welfare of our Nation in the
years ahead. Our self preserva-
tion as individuals and the contin-
uation of the United States as the
leader of the worlds peace loving
nations requires that we force an
end to'the continuing and damag-
ing blows against U.s." he said.
In his strongly worded remarks,
Ahe Senator took note Of the risk
OF all-out war with Russia, ibut he
pointed out that for all practical
purposes we are already at war
with two of the Soviet's eentrolled
satellites. "And,"e he went on,
"since we are lighting In Korea,
itself, the use Of superior weapons
sin. that location would be logically
justifiabie In order to defeat the
enemy forces actively engaged
against us"
In the present situation, the SEN
ator pointed out we are now fac
ing another period of winter oper-
ations in a climate which caused
heavy casualties from frostbite last
year. He expressed confidence,
however, that the Department of
Defense has taken every step pos
sible to provide our troops with es-
sential clothing and equipment for
the expected sub-zero tempera-
&ures.
Mr.. Frear said it had been diff
cult for him to contemplate recon-
mending the use of atomic weapons
but he said that after long months
of lighting, the expenditure OF
thousands of lives and billions OF
dollars, and with no end in sight
under present conditions, II fee
that we cannot defer any longer
the use of available destructive
powers against the Communist
forces, if they refuse to halt the
lighting under a mutual agreement
and permit the restoration O.
Korea as free Nation"

low them, even when he is not ac-
tually thinking about them"
Mr.. Reeder emphasized these six
rules for safe walking:
1. Obey all traffic signs and sig
nails.
2. Cross streets only at intersec-
tions.
