Charles Mendoza wrote me
very interesting note in which he
suggested that ethics was a SUD-
jeet that might very well be left
out of public discussions. He seems
TO have devoted a LOT of thought to
the problem and scored a good
point by mentioning that the made
quacy of language made discussion
of abstraction difficult.
Ethics is hardly an abstract sub
iect TO me, however. There is indi.
vidual ethics in which a person is
true to himself; community ethics
in which he shows loyalty 10 the
populace. Too many people mix
ethics up with religion because
both are concerned with morals.
was glad to see that Mendoza was
not shared by this trap.
Remember the three chaplainS,
Protestant. Jewish. and Catholic.
whose ship was torpedoed during
the war. No better example could
be made to show how the differen-
ce in religions did not effect their
ethical conduct. They joined arms
and prayed for the troops aboard
the ship. Each of these men might
have thought that he had a more
direct route to God but / doubt
seriously If they imagined there
we're three gods up there in Heav-
en-. one for each religion.
Cannibals are just as ethical as
Christians. And are often just as
unethical. too. There are ethical
execuiioners who take peoples
lives in various legal death cham
beers. There are unethical savages
who have allowed prisoners to live
when the code of the tribe pro-
claimed that all such prisoners
should be thrown In pot and boil
ed.
There can be no abstraction
about a subject that touches every
action of lives. That shows IN our
conduct every minute of the day!
However, LET me be fair and give
Mendoza his say

Calls Dog Track Gambling House

S Ivy At0@N &eh'0ttf9 FTo0Se
Editor, The Citizen:
Here is what dog track means
TO Key West:
First dog track: second a gam.
bling house; third bar-rooms.
Do We need any more bars and
gambling houses in Key West.
According TO Mr. Aronovitz q
track is a fine thing for our city.
He also claims it will bring plenty
tourists 10 Key West.
Now my good people let's take
a look back on our last few sea
sons. Ii was stated by the hotel
and motel owners that they had
the best seasons ever--iidnt have
enough room. people had to be
turned away. some had to so back
up the Keys to get somewhere to
sleep. and mind you We had no dog
track.
My friends these people don't
travel way down to Key West look
ing for somewhere to gamble. A
lot of these people are not rich,
some save all the rest Of the year
to get a few hundred dollars 20
come south and TO Key West. they
spend their money all over the
city and everybody gets share,
But, If you are going 10 let this
man from Miami bring such stuff
to our city. why then you viii find
out the tourists. and l might say
the Navy boys viii have less mon
ey to spend around town. So whC
win profit by having q gambling
house which is called = dog track
brought to our city? The bunny
doesn't get any pay, nor do the
dogs so who else?

a Key Wester, and a Conch. but he

Meets With Negro

CANTON, Miss, Nov. a.
(DSN)-The Madison County Elec-

ison County Negro Democrats AS
ISOLATION last week, to discuss the
conditions the Negroes Of Madison
County faced when they went to
the polls Tuesday, November 4th.
1t was brought out at this con-
ference by the Madison County Ne
gro Democrats President, Johnnie
Green, that only one polling place
in Madison County to knowledge,
to date, inundated a Negro as he
approached the polls to vote. Mr..
Sam Loab assured President Green
that this would not happen again
as long as he was on the commit
tee.
The trouble was that a white by
stander cursed at the would-be
voter frightening him from the
polls.
Thirty-seven members of the as
ISOLATION were present at this
meeting. This meeting was ar
ranged by Johnnie Green, presi-
dent, and Asa Slaughter, vice pres
ident of the association.

NEGRO ATTORNEYS SET FOR
LAWSUITS TO WIPE OUT jim.
CROW IN Interstate TRAVEL

WASHINGTON, D. C. A
Negro attorney who won unre-
stricted railroad dining car rights
for his race is preparing for an
other round of lawsuits to wipe out
all segregation in interstate travel.
Elmer Henderson of Washington,
D. c., says the next court test will
involve segregation in Southern
Railroad terminals where Negroes
are required to use separate en-
frances and rest rooms.
"An early effort will be made
to clear up any doubtful points by
starting other suits" he said.
He added that the major cam
paigns in the anti-segregation bat
tie already have been won. A
series of four key judgments over
the last 10 years has given travel
ing Negroes near equality of treat
ment, he said.
The most recent decision came
in January 1851 when the fourth
Federal circuit court of appeals in
Richmond, Virginia outlawed So
called "Jim Crow coaches as an
unconstitutional burden on inter
state travel.
A week ago, the Supreme Court
in effect upheld that decision by
refusing to review it. The decision

Texan Offers Plan Aimed At Stopping
Pressure For FEPC Law

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. "a
tDSN)-A white man from Texas
who has had outstanding success in
the field of race-relations urged
Southern Governors last Tuesday
to helm President elect Eisenhower
solve the nations race problem.
Neville G. PenroSe. chairman of
the Texas Good Neiohbor Com
mission" suggested a Grass Roots
APPROACH" He said it would re-
serve the order of any Federal
Fair Employment (FEPC) Law.
The executives of the 16 Sou
thern states ended their o-day
session at New Orleans with cleo
ton of Gov. Herman Talmadge OF
Georgia rs chairman. He succeeds
Gov. Alien Shivers of Texas.
Gov. Shivers introduced Penrose
who said:
"The Southern States can help
Gen. Eisenhower by approaching
the racial problem from the Grass
Roots. thus relieving him of pres
sure from minority groups"
Peprose explained how the large
influx of Mexicans along the 900
mile international border of Tevas
gave birth to local inter-racial
groups in the lone star state. -
He cited quiet but effective work
by human relations councils" that
have been locally established. Pen
rose added:
"When these councils ever fail to
work, it's usually due to only one
thinq-Inertia."
fWe are in transitional period.
The grass roots approach, such as
weShave undertaken in Texas, may
eliminate pressure for FEPC laws
which work downward rather than
upward"
Election of Gov. Talmadee. stout
foe of FEPC and opponent of Presi-
dent Truman's administration, was
interpreted by some observers to
mean the Dixie Governors will
maintain pressure to uphold states
rights.
Talk of political independence
was highlighted throughout their

election.
