Getting At The Cause
Can Editorial From The Atlanta Daily Word)

If through miracle the Ku Klux Khan
petey obiteraed from the Southern would there
be marked improvement in group habits and thinking
towards Negroes? That is question posed by the South
Patriot in commenting on the daily press hostility
towards the XXX but its inability to comprehend the
basic background and issues that breed such hate
CARNATIONS.
The Patriot admits the Ku Klux Khan is without
defender among the major Southern press and cities
editorial comment against Kanstye violence in the
of Harry Moore, martyr of Florida and the riots at
Cicero, III.
Such incidents the organ states AROUSE unqualified
editorial horror and condemnation but the impact of
such antsemeticsm often falls flat.
The Patriot believes Southern newspapers often
take 'babe-in the-woods' perspective (which often
make these journalistic voices of wrath ring adoescent
y shrill.'
Yet the factor is ignored according to the Patriot
that racial violence is the fruton of racial bias made
rank and fostering by legazed racial segregation"
The Patriot bames continued segregation in public
the Charlotte News which reported burning in
cident involving 13yearold boy The youth burned the
in front of Negro residence. Attached to the
article note telling the occupants to leave town.
It was signed xxx The boy said he did it because he
didn't like Negroes"
North Carolina newspapers specialized on the Incl
dent and another involving six teen-age youths, who
were found guilty of cross burning.
Newspapers hit the incidents but the Patriot
points out neither INDUCED in any speculation to
the Khan
Gould it have been in the jim Grow School of
North Caroina?''
The publication concludes:
1t would be we'll for organs of public opinion to look
closely to what harm segregation doing to youth
and to white youth.

The president of the ASCL has
countered that the wages of sugar
cane workers are fixed by the u.
S. Secretary of Agriculture follow
ing hearings by both employers
and employees on an impartial basis.
The ASCL head remarked:
If those who profess to have the
cause of sugar workers at heart
are sincere in this profession in
terest, their energies would be more
fruitful if directed toward bringing
about an increase in the price of
sugar. In this way the standard of
living and earnings of the sugar
cane worker and sugar cane farm
er would be placed on a higher
level"

NAUTICAL MILES, KNOTS

On July 1, commercial airline
pilots in the United States will ex-
press their airspeed in terms of
"knots" and distance in terms of
nautical miles," Private pilots will
be little affected by the switch.
Knots and nautical miles current
ly are being used as speed and dis
lance measurements by the Navy
and Air Force. A nautical mile is
$3.50 feet long instead of $3.50
feet long, and knot is a nautical
nile-per hour.

"ShuffIe Along

NEW YORK-The Noble Sisle-
Eubie Blake revival of "Shuffle

and Melted bad reviews from the
white press.
Laid in Italy with pretty girls
and gorgeous costumes, the great
musicals of the 20's starred new
conner, Dolores Martin. Miss Mar

replaced Pearl Bailey, originally
scheduled for the role. Others in
the cast are Saralou Harris and
Thelma Carpenter.
At least one Negro reviewer did
not agree with the white critics.
Larry Douglas, theatrical col

white critics with conspiracy to
keep Negroes off Broadway" APP

Five White Men
Indicted In
Cairo Bombing

Cairo, HIN contrast to a pre-
vious grand jury action, the May
Alexander county grand jury last
week returned true bills against
five white men in connection with
the Cairo bombing of Negro
physicians home last winter in a
wave of terror touched off by at
tempts to enroll Negro children in
previously all-white schools here.
The indicted men are:
Robert Hogan, Kenneth Sullivan.
James Mckee, c. H. Miller and
Erwin Kreithner. The five were
indicted for specific mischief and
conspiracy. The victim of the
bombing was DR.. Urbane Bass.
After an earlier grand jury had
refused to indict the men, Ivan A.
Elliott, Illinois attorney general,
action on resolution from the
Illinois state conference of the N.
A. A. C. p, had asked that a new
grand jury review the evidence.
The previous grand jury mad re-
fused to return true bills on Feb.
p, on the grounds of insufficient
evidence. 1t also cleared nine mem.
bers of the NAACP who had been
charged with ccnspiring to endan-
ger the lives and health of Negro
children in seeking their transfer
to white schools.
The dynamiting of DR.. Bass
home came after two nights of dis
turbances, including burning of
three fiery crosses, the shotgun
blasting of a colored dentists home,
and the placing of dynamite on the
premises of business of an NAA
CP official. No one was injured.
The Negro dentist also received a
letter warning him to leave the city
or suffer the consequences.
Meanwhile, NAACP attorneys re-
tanned by the Cairo branch, have
met in a pre-trial conference with
the three circuit judges and coun-
sci for the school board and county
superintendent to attempt settle
ment of the school case.
The Negroes are seeking an in
junction against the Cairo school
board requiring that state aid funds
be withheld and segregation stop
ped in the school system.
The circuit judges denied a mo-
tion by the attorney for the school
board to dismiss the case, and set
June 1, as the final date for the
school board to comply with de-
mands of the plaintiffs.
Blair Varnes, assistant attorney
general, who personally presented
the evidence to the grand iury.
stated that further Investigations
are being conducted, and additional
persons responsible for the violence
inflicted on this southern Illinois
town may be indicted later.
