NEGROES Reflect On Election

When General Eisenhower Campaigned for
the presidency of the United States, one of the
solemn promises he made was that he would
appoint men and women to high governmental
positions on merit alone; and although the Ne
gro vote is almost solidly Democratic, it is
not expected that the Negro will be overlooked
sumes office next January
From moral point of view, the Repubi-
can party, if it follows its tradition and
most people believe it will would never
seek to penalize a minority for the way it vot-
ed; and from political point of view, the
party is interested in making friends and win
ming new voters The bid the party made in
its effort to cut into the Negro vote in the re-
cent election, indicated clearly that il wants
the prodigal Republicans to come home, and
is extending welcoming hand to those
youngsters who cut their political teeth, even
got their first long pants under the Democrats
In discussing the matter of Negro poit-
zeal appointees, however, one fact stands out
plainly There are not toe many Negroes who
remained faithful to the Republican party with
the qualifications and stature to take over ma
uonal political leadership and jobs In most of
the major cities, Republican leaders. unable
to carry on without jobs and, or other recog-
milton, switched over to the Democratic partv.
Many former Republicans still active in poli-
tics, are now, or were holding posts under the
Democrats.
There are, however, some individuals who
have held onto their Republican affiliations

party nationality They represent the hard core

Breaking The Solid South

The politically solid south has been brok-
en- twice since reconstruction. Herbert Hoover
did it in 1928 and General Eisenhower did it
in the last election.
In each instance it took an appeal to in
tolerance to accomplish the result. Hoover's
victory was traceabe to the fact that AL
Smith, his opponent, was Catholic. Essen
hower's victory down in dixie is traceable to
the strong stand taken in the Democratic plat
form and by Adlai Stevenson on civil rights
Although Republicans had high hopes of
building their party in the south after the
Hoover victory those hopes were dimmed as
soon as the religious issue had been pushed in
to the background.
Republican plans to build two party
system in the south will 60 glhnmering now
just as they did in 1928 unless that party is
willing to continue to play footsie with Jimmy
Byrnes, Senator Byrd of Virginia, Governor
Kennon of La Governor Shivers and SEN

Dixiecrats large and small who helped split

ues and seeks to eliminate them, but the
eventual goal of science is itself value, the
faith In the ultimate good of knowing the
scientific truth"
1t appears to me that such faith is
mighty weak one now, almost nullified by ex-
perience which forces us to see no good arr1v-
ed from knowledge which leads to the making
of weapons which destroy mans cities DAMS
industries, etc, in fraction of a second after
it should have taken him many years of plan
ming and hard work to build them Should it
require war to put mans brains to work in
order to invent televison or to discover pen-
cillin?
Realistically and admittedly, / wouldn't want
to see America or any of our allies let up at
present in the scientific development of rock
cts, bombs, planes etc, knowing that the
Russians are going ahead, but 1t does appear
to me as being very important step forward
for the future soothing of international human
relations that scientists come to see their
moral obligation to the rest of humanity, The
scientists who supposedly have no prejudice,
no sense of values other than the faith in the
ultimate coed of all knowledge, could form an
international circle and come to agree upon
values that will limit the revelation of know
ledge dangerous to human existence
There are factions of sociologists, also
who maintain that objectvity in their work Is
their only aim. Whether they should be phys
ical scientists or social scientists, ETC.; men
in all fields must come to that stage in their
development where they shall accept without
bitterness the fact that it is their duty, as
a part of the human society, to take into con-
sideration the ethical significance to human
relations the knowledge they effectively dis
close
The atoms and molecules, the sun and the
stars, want tell us these things when they
give up their powerful uniformly arranged Sc
crets; its left up to mankind to sense the OBJ
legation.
If scientists turned from the development
of weapons for destruction, the common cold
and other needs of mankind in medicine and
invention will supply never ending roads for

Negroes Can Put Teeth In FEPC-

There are in the Little Rock area far in
excess of hundred places owned and operated
by Negroes to distribute soft drinks. beer,
whiskey, eonfectienares and many Of the ne
eessties that Negroes demand daily. If these
distributors were to organize and buy only
from wholesale houses, beer whiskey and soft
drinks distributors that would employ Negro
statesmen and routemen. some dozen or SO
young Negroes would be employed in positions
now being held by white men
There are thousands of dollars worth of
bread, soft drinks, beer, and a shameful
amount of whiskey being consumed daily in
Little Rock, and a proportionate share is dis
tributed thru Negro owned establishments, and
yet, there is not one known Negro represented
as a salesman.
This Is not reflection on the operators
of the wholesale houses and distributing com
panies which are owned and operated by the
whites. White people only employ Negroes for
business purposes--to get more Negro trade.

A Momentous Decision Ahead

Negroes are not the only ones anxiously
awaiting the Supreme Courts decision on seq
regation in the public schools Southern whites
are disturbed about it--and properly so-for
this decision may revolutionize the public
school systems of the southern and border
states.
Southern governors, meeting this week in
New Orleans, are fearful that the high court
will declare segregation per Sc unconstitutiCn-
AL This means that even in these rare in
stances where absolutely equal facilities are
provided for both races. the very fact that
there Is separation based upon race, color or

Segregation In Education Is Tragic

In few days the United States Supreme
Court is scheduled to render an all important
decision in education The Court is to decide
whether there is any truth in the phrase sep

whether Negroes under the dixiecrat regime
are human beings and citizens of this common
wealth or just inhabitants in dixie
The decision is an all important one, and

Aero Medics Discuss
Problems Of Rockets

If the flyer of the future should
have rocket trouble over Wash
ington and "bail out" at 10000
feet he might land in New York.
In order to make the descent
safely he would climb into a pro-
tective shell or don a pressure
tight space suit. ,
These indications of things to
come were put forward yesterday
by DR.. Fritz Haber of the Air
Forces department of space medi-
cine at Randolph Field, Tex. He
was one of six aviation medicine
researchers who discussed space
medicine at the Aero Medical As
sociation meeting at the Hotel
Statler. The tfree-day session
ended last night with a banquet
at which Vice President Barkley
was principal speaker.
DR.. Haber. pointing out that
scientists must rely on "imagina-
ton and calculation to stay ahead
Of things that are bound to come, T"
said the trajectory of a mans
descent from 100000 feet would
carry him about $50 miles ina
horizontal direction.
This is a specific danger" in
high altitude bailout, he said, be-
cause of the difficulty in locat-
ing the flyer after he landed.
Any search, he said, would have
to cover an area of 500 miles in
diameter.
Because of the increase in the
gravity force on the pilot during
the descent, he said. the flyers
body would start to rotate, and he
would very likely become airsick.
To prevent this, he said, it
would be necessary to attach a
Stabilizing device to his pressure
suit, or shell-like capsule.
The rocket pilot flying at 300,-
900 to 100000 feet, he pointed
out, would be in the borderline of
space-the "aeropause." When
the pilot first bailed out he would
fall very rapidly. due to the lack
IF air resistance.
But as he reached the lower
attitudes, he would slow down as
he hit denser layers of air. Be-
cause of this change in speed, he
said, it might be necessary to use
two parachutes Of different size,
so the descent would actually be
made in two steps.
In another discussion. DR.. j. P.
Henry of the Air Forces Aero
Medical Laboratory at Wright
Patterson Air,Force Base, Dayton,
Ohio, told of the fight of rocket
80 miles into space, carrying live
monkeys and mice as passengers.
The mice are still alive, he said.
The five monkeys aboard survived
the fight, but four were killed
when parachutes designed to carry
them back to earth failed. The
fifth landed in the New Mexico
desert and died of heat prostra-
tion.
