Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Welsh

The poll tax in Virginia, al.
though a small amount, accounts
to. big extent for failure of many
people of voting age to vote ir
that State.
There are some. potential voters
who feel they cannot afford tc
pay it. There are others who in
tend to pay it as q prerequisite
for registering or voting but for
get or otherwise fail to do so be-
fore the inconveniently early May
deadline. =
There are still more, according
to complaints repeatedly heard
by non-partisan get-out-the-vote
organizations, who won't pay it.
Some Refuse to Pay.
This form Of opposition to the
poll tax is taxation without -repre-
Isentation in reverse. Rather than
be represented on the voting
rolls, some Virginians object SC
vehemently to this taxation in
principle that they refuse to pay
under any circumstances. !.
Virginia is one of five States
retaining that gradually disap.
pearing levy. The tax require.
ment is not the sole reason, OF
perhaps even the most important
one. why only 81 per cent Of thu
potential voters Of Virginia went
to the polls to cast ballots fol
President in 1948-as compared
with a 51h2 per cent ratio ma.
tionally. .,i.-.~s Il,
The problem, nevertheless
greatly concerns groups which
this year are working togethe,
to get out the biggest vote in the
history Of the country.
It is related to general tax an.
noyances which frequently are
given as a reason-or alibi-fol
hesitation or unwillingness OF
some Maryland, as well as Vir.
gina residents, to register.
Called sticking Your Neck Out. .
Unoficial spokesmen for that
group often relative newcomers
from other States or those re-
lated to men in the armed serv.
ices or civilian Government work
explain it something like this:
THE minute you register tc
vote in Maryland. or pay a pol
tax In Virginia with the inten-
ton Of voting. you are stickine
your neck out to be hit by q lot
OF other State and local taxes
such as income and excise-and
other requirements"
They emphasize that they real
ize the voting privilege is priceless

erage problems under one agency:
The facilities. whether inter-
connected or not, would constitute
one system under unified admins
trative, engineering, legal and
financial control. The authority
plan Of action would extend to all
parts of the county, would recog-
nize no district or area boundaries
and would be available for imple-
mentation wherever and under
whatever circumstances problem
might arise.
There would be no multiplicity
or administrative, engineering
legal or financial details to stand
IN the way ~
The committee also finds an au-
thority would be likewise suited to
development of joint-use programs
with other communities:
by virtue of a single or unified
system OF operations under an
authority, the accomplishment of
Jolnt-use programs becomes
merely a part of the development
OF an integrated comprehensive
system Cooperation with
other political subdivisions in such
programs becomes a simple and
direct contractual relationship"
Uniform Schedule Seen.
Another argument in behalf of
an authority is that a uniform
schedule of rates would be estab-
lished throughout the county.
The financial independence of
sanitary districts results in vary,
ing rates.
The committee expects it will be
argued that an authority, as an
appointive agency, could become
irresponsive to the wishes of the
people.
while these allegations should
be considered" the report states,
"they are of doubtful weight since
the history of authorities and the
preponderance of evidence shows
just the opposite to be true"
Citizens Right to Appeal.
1t is further pointed out that
citizens have the right to appeal
to the courts, and that authority
actions are subject to sec con-
troll. The latter is not true In the
case Of sanitary districts.

Robinson And Son

Movie tough guy, Edward G.
Robinson's son said today his faith

NE WY0RK, Feb. 16. (INS)
THE signing Of Stan Musial by
the St. Louis Cardinals to a con-
tract calling for more than $751;
600 a year is q wonderful but mis-
leading.
1t is wonderful because Musial
is one Of the great all-time bali
players and deserving of every
nickel Of whatever he can get
from his keepers.
It is misleading because some
people will get the idea that ball
players are a bunch Of over-paid
lucky stiffs who merely have to
show up to grab pay checks Of
such vast amounts. They get the
notion that all ball players are
millionaires.
For every Musial, Ted Williams,
Joe Dimaggio and Bob Feller there
are dozens of players who are
something less than upper income
bracket operators.
And it was even worse once, be-
fore the players got together on a
board for purposes of negotiating
better deals for themselves.
That Musial is worth all he is
getting and more, too, if anybody
in baseball is, must go without
saying. He is, to use a line long
since worn thin, a baseball play
er's baseball player.
He is superlative in nearly ev-
erything, including spirit and
team-play. The latter means that
he is hustling for the Cardinals
rather than for MusiaL.
Tt also is a plan facet on this
young mans character. There have
been no nicer guys in the business.
On his playing ability and on
his qualities as a man, he deserves
the spot he holds as the highest
!. paid player in the National league
with an income from baseball alone
Of about, on guesses, $4,000
which includes a bonus.
He makes some more money OF

sides being a great ball player
and a gentleman.
Fred Saigh, owner of the Cardi
nails, apparently is appreciativt
of his star and when hes aid some
time back, in denying rumors
that Musial was not for sale Of
trade he meant it.
, 1952-02-16

Saigh can be tough and some
times is, but he also can be ex-
tremely smart as he is in the case
Of Musial, who is likely to remain
a st. Louis fixture as long as he
can lift a bat or run at even a
slow gallop.
Saigh, dispatches reveal, put on
something of a show in signing
his star, a show in keeping with
Importance of the occasion.
With the press and newsreels
gathered about, the owner threw
a contract on the table and told
Musial to fill it out at what he
thought was the right figure.
Musial said I'll take what | got
last year.
That settled it.
Perhaps this was prearranged,
but it did not sound like it. The
point is that the Cards with little
difficulty signed the best all
around ball player in the game TO-
day, and the man who, as peren-
ial batting champion and most val.
liable played, will be watched more
closely than an yother next sea

of the Gabor girls Eva, Zsa Zsa
and Magda) to front page fame
in their brief years in America
makes any advice they let slip
worth earnest consideration.
Indeed, I am indebted myself
to Eva Gabor for a brief but pow
erful lesson that I shall not soon
forget. To her I owe the knowl-
edge that Immigrant" is a dirty
word.
This undoubtedly will come as
a shock to millions upon millions
of American citizens and is apt
to give aid and comfort only to the
Osages, the Algonquins, the Nez
Perces, the Apaches, the Nava-
hoes and other native sons.
But, we Americans must be
open-minded about such matters
and willing to live and learn.
Of recent date / was called
upon to write a brief skit for a
charity pageant in which Miss Ga
Dor was starred, as is her natural
due. In the skit, Miss Gabor was
described as "a Poor But Beau
tiful Immigrant who had, in the
immemorial American manner,
achieved considerable fame and
fortune in one way or another
during her meteor-like ascent since
her arrival here from Hungary
in 1889.
This seemed a most innocent
descriptive sentence to me. In
deed, [ felt it was highly flatter-
ing. But not Miss Gabor! The
only word in the phrase to which
Miss Gabor did not offer voci-
ferrous objections was the adjec-
tive beautiful"
"In hungary, | am reeche1
than ever I am here!" Miss Gabo1
said s~cornfully.
"And I weel not be called an
immigrant" she cried Indignantly
At that, the pageant committee
took to the woods and left me
to face "the budapest bomb SHE'LL
as the Broadway columnists love
to call her Cor "Goldilocks and the
| Three Gabors'' if all the sisters
are involved in the story.
AS to many continental women
Of Miss Gabor's class are fond Oh
pointing out, we American DANES
are inclined to be dumb about
lots of things.
And in this instance, I guess
was real dumb, because I felt thai
Miss Gabor had simply misunder
stood the word Immigrant" ane
that an explanation would quickly
clear up the matter.
"No offense meant in calling
you an immigrant, Miss Gabor,"
assured her. "In America, it's very
proud designation. All American
are either immigrants or the de
scendants of immigrants. For in
stane, my mothers mother was al
, 1952-02-16

migrant!" she said it was aukase.
So the offensive word poor
and the nasty word Immigrant
were cut from the script and the
whole skit tailored more elegantly
to fit Miss Gabor's refulgent per-
sonality. Anyway, Miss Gabor and
the Fireworks simmered down,
and the committee crawled out
from behind the trees.
In the meantime, photographers
had better begin work on a term
to replace Immigrant" and, of
course, for that true continental
touch, Americans can always
switch to that brand of cigarette
for which Miss Gabor is now rat
ting the cup.

President Truman Bows Out

President Harry S. Truman ended Saturday, per-
haps Of the most widespread specuatons about the
political future of public official in this history of the
nation At the end of most impressive speech before
thousands of Democratic party leaders from all parts
of the nation assembled in Washington for the Jeffer-

ment that he would not seek reelection He almost clos
ed the door draft His to u.s. not
complete surprise, but it shocked We felt as
though the nation and the Negro had suddenly lost
true and sincere friend.
In his address, President Truman told the diners
and millions of the radio audience what he has tried to
do for the welfare of the nation both the domestic
and foreign fronts He said he had worked sincerely and
relessy for the welfare of the of the people,
including the workers and the farmers. We agree with
the President in that statement When he completes his
present term next January, he will have served the
ing job Chief Executive We must reluctantly accept
and abide by his wishes to step down. and be relieved
of of the great worries and responsibilities that
has rested upon his shoulders.
No doubt the fact that he was confronted with
revolt by the southern wing of his own party repre-
sented by the candidacy of Senator Russell of Georgia
the question of Civil Rights for Negro Americans
played important part in influencing President Tru-
man in reaching the decision he made
Nevertheless, President Truman has served his
country well and he has put before the nation
before the fact that there need for the federal gov
eminent to actually do something about eliminating the
second class citizenship status for Americans of color
In our opinion, President Truman has made his mark
and his will go into history along side all other
truly great Presidents who have lived in the White
House. May God Bless Mr. Truman and his family for
many, many years to

How can education today
Apply to the souls of man
When you fail to train the child
Have you disobeyed my Faith
er's command?
Now Jesus said to train the child
And you have changed Gods
command
You are drafting boys to bloody
war
Does the Bible say young boys
are men?
You boast education for your boy
And his degrees you say as well
No training you have given your
boy
Is it heaven for him or hell.
Christ said for you to train your
child
The way that he should go
Now when you fail to train your
child
1t is heaven or hell you know.
Thousands know the letter today
And yet they don't know Christ
Never has any training at all
To live a Christian life.
The world is full of infidels
With degrees from A to Z.
Yet they have never been born
again
And their soul has never been
free.
You are making their world hel
to live in
When you fail to train your chile
Building churches everywhere you
go
Such churches are not worth
while.
The Bible says not to spare the rod
And neither spoil the child
When you hesitate and fail to train
Your work is not worthwhile.
Unless the preachers | say today
Get on one accord as we'll
Stop fighting Nominations every
where
Somebody is going to hell.
We all must lift up Jesus Christ
He is the redeeming power of
this land
He holds all the drawing power
Of this world to draw the man.
