NAACP To Oppose
Moses Bill

RICHMOND, Va.--Officials of the Viz
ginia State Conference-NAACP, while re
serving comment on details of the "Moses
Segregation Bill" due to the fact that
the bill has not as yet been printed and
is thus unavailable for detailed study, is,
sued the following statement:
The NAACP will treat this particular
Piece OF infamous proposed Legislation
In the same manner that it has all other
existing or proposed legislation that has
had as it's objective either the creation
or perpetuation of two groups of citizens
within our society--first and second class
citizens. Racial and religious segregation.
IN any form, is to be abhored, detested
and blotted out not only by those being
segregated but also by those who segfc-
gate.
The very tenets upon which the prac-
tice rests make it's continued practice and
expansion dangerous in democratic So
clety such as ours. That a law-maker of
the Commonwealth of Virginia. the Cra-
die of Democracy would blunder blindly
in the footsteps of bigots such as Byrnes
Talmadge, Warren and Wright, all of QUE
more benighted Dixiecrat states to our
South, is indeed shocking.
The NAACP will oppose the proposed
Moses Bill with the combined st ength of
every freedom loving citizen of the Gem
monwealth of Virginia and will assist in
this instance, as it has done for the past
43 years, those elected officials to uphold
the constitution Of the United States of
America and to rid theselves of bigot
and fascist tendencies
Segregation is American Fascism, you
know.

The bill within itself is DEMONSTRATIONS
al and any one tax payer can have issued
an injunction against the use OF tax funds
to promote such an un-democratic set-up.

believe that both races want to keep seq
regation." The Senator must have gotten
this information from some Negro Outs.
lings for they are many and varied all
over the State. Negroes who nurse from
the breat Of Southern tradition and who
sell their mothers and daughters down the
river for few shekels of silver and q
crust of bread, they too will go the way
of all hate mongers
The bill certainly does not aid the sale
of democracy to the millions in Russia and
all Asia. American prejudice and AFRO
world in her face unless a racial
change takes place Immediately, she, too
like Great Britain, will stand with a crown
of race hate upon her heart and pencils
in her hat. The hand writing is upon the
wall.
Fear Of the Negro is driving the South
m d. 1t is destroying every vestige of
truth and good citizenship 1t has mar
rowed the range of good community life
down to the power key philosophy. 1t has
entered every democratic institution and
is gradually sapping the last drops of
democratic blood.
Segregation must go. 1t will go. God is
greater than the Virginia legislature. He
freed the Negro from physical slavery
without 6 gun. He will also free him from
segregation, even without VOTE
Boast not myself in segregation, Oh Vir-
einia legislature GOD REIGNS FOREV-

Answers To Call OF
Some OF City's Most
Outstanding Leaders
And Business Concerns

The Rev F. E. Alexander, editor and
publisher Of The TRIBUNE, has thrown
his hat into the Roanoke Councilmanic race
subject to the Democratic primary which
will be held in April. There are only two
vacancies on the Council. Those vacancies
were caused by the refusal of two coun.
ciimen to seek reelection at the expira
ton OF their current, term - -.
AS newspaper man during the past
Rev. Alexander has been forced to take
unpopular positions in some of the politi-
cal contests in Roanoke, but his paper has
almost always been with the winners.
Rev. Alexander is man that can be
approached by anybody--the rich or poor
black or white, learned or unlearned In
him the public will have friend, regard
less of what section of the city you may
1--we in. If he is elected he will always re-
member that his election was made posi-
bic by votes received from all over the
city, and as a councilman, his interest will
be city-Wide, interracial and impartial.
There is growing sentiment h a the
$4,000 or more Negro citizens of Roanoke
should have representative on our city
council. And regardless of what other
candidate they may vote for, voters are
going to begin marking their ticket by
Eoting for the Negro candidate. 1t is a
compliment, both to the city of Roanoke
and to the candidate, that there can be
found a Negro in their midst who enjoys
the respect and confidence of both the
white and Negro citizens The prediction
is, Roanoke is all set Cor her first Negro
Councilman"

From Behind
The Curtain
BY A White Southerner

Segregation as AnericdS iron curtain It's
greatest erH has been that 1t prevents as from
understanding each other and from, bein1 con-
scions Of each others gro,cth On both sides of
the curtain zoe are about fifty gears behind an
or interpretations of the other. Write IN
questions concerning racial attitudes of the
educated White S0Wthcrner of today
Names will be withheld.
+
Dear White Southerner: When white
people discuss Negroes privately among
themselves, what are their main criti-
cisms?
Interested
ANSWER: My answer will have to be
divided into sections: % Criticisms of
what they ESQ aggravatingly) refer to as
the typical Negro" and criticisms of the
modern, educated Negro.
The typical Negro" is most frequently
criticized for unreliability. 1t is said that
few can be depended upon to fulfill their
word he is next most frequently criti-
cized for personal untidiness
Actually, both of these faults are re-
lated to Social level, not to race. That we
are really aware of this, whatever we may
say, is proved by our preference for Me-
gro servants over white. Sometimes we
even say it. We are fond of pointing out
to Yankees, who frequently prefer white
help, that our preference is based ON the
solid fact that Negroes are both cleaner
and more dependable than the Southern
domestic class white''
The chief criticism of the modern
Negro" is lack of courtesy. 1t is said that
while demanding acceptance as right,
he assumes an attitude of discourtesy
which would make any white man COM
pletely unacceptable to his own group
While, like all CONGRATULATIONS it is un-
true OF a great many, it can't be denied
that an uncomfortable number of mod
ern Negroes can be fitted with this glove.
For isn't it only natural that in reacting
against servie courtesy, Negroes by and
large should confuse it with courtly cour-
tesy, and brand all courtesy as servile?
However, we shouldn't allow ourselves
to lose sight of the fact that the very
word courtesy" was derived from the
simple truth that it originated at the
courts of kings
True, the difference between servile
and courtly courtesy is almost entirely
internal. If we offer it reluctantly, it is
servile. If we offer it graciously it is court
ly If it is bride for good treatment it
Is servile. If it is a gift of human warmth
it is courtly. Since these distinctions are
above the grasp Of the majority of both
races, I'm afraid that true courtesy will
remain grace belonging n y to the
spiritually aware few.

to Maine. while Georgetown gets
going tomorrow against Mary

|readying for Saturdays double
header start against Washington
College.
College baseball was a wild pro-
duction here yesterday as Maine,
in 27-10 game on the Ellipse,
handed George Washington its
second straight defeat. Maryland
at Charlottesville was taking its
first setback after three wins as
it bowed to Virginia. 11-7.

a service nine yesterday as Della

that gave Virginia its victory over
the Terps. All the way the Cav
alters were threatening to blow
the game afield as six errors con-
tributed to most of Maryland :
runs. Pitchers John Jankowski
and Gordon Kessler of Maryland
were touched for IL hits.
In the CIV game, Maine batters
got to four Colonial hurlers for
20 hits, two of them homers by
Outfielder AL Hackett, and also
were helped by IL walks. The
Colonials managed only six hits,
but one was a grand slam homer
by Bobby Cilento during a seven
run uprising in the fourth.
Feature of the two college,
service games was Red Graber's
three-run triple for MDW as
it beat Vermont. John Antonelli,
former Braves pitcher who won

Spseiol Dispatch 70 The Stor
LOUISVILLE, April 2.-The
first nomination received by
Churchill Downs for the 1852 Ken
lucky Derby might also easily be
the first horse past the wire in the
100000 event.
Primate. owned by E. B. Benja-
minis Starmount Stable, was the
first Derby nomination received
by the track this year, and the
colts record as a 2-year-olo
stamps him as a horse of high
class.
Except for the Arlington Park
Futurity, in which he had to run
on the outside of a large field al
the way, Primate did not turn ir
a discouraging race in all his II
starts in 1851. He was unplaceo
only in one other race.
In the Great American Stakes
at Aqueduct July 9, Primate was
fourth after getting away last
under 126 pounds. The winner
Cousin, carried 118. The second
horse, Mixture, had a 12-pouno
pull in the weights, while Pintor
