The mans name was Harry T
Moore, He headed up the NAACP
activities in Florida. He was kill
ed for only one reason. He was a
black man, and he had dared to
fight for his right to live in
America even in Florida
other Americans live.
We are a people slow to
anger, but passionate in our
wrath.
The government of Hungary
has found this out in the case of
the filters held for ransom When
will the people of America turn
their gaze homeward to acts even
more inhuman than the imprison-
ment of the airmen? And when
will a wave of wrath sweep away
the puny hate movement that now
seem to infest Florida as they in
fest other states?
Does anyone care to rise and
say that this was a casual or an
isolated killing?
Moore was active in the Ma
ACP defense of the Negro boys
accused in the Groveland Little
ScOttsboro" case in Florida. He
organized state efforts to help the
Negroes in the South to vote with
out being terrorized, to send their
children to the same schools as
white children, to be convicted of
the same guilt and acquitted of
the same innocence as the whites.
There have been three murders
now as a result of the Groveland
case. One boy was killed on the
spot by a mob. A second was shot
by a deputy sheriff. Now Moore
is the third victim.
How much longer will we wait
to discover that there is a pattern
of violence here. Three times on
this case the Negroes of Florida
have found that the badge of color
can mean death. How much longer
must the procession of deaths
stretch out?
1t Is a hard thing to be a Ne
gro in America.
I do not go for William L. Pat
terson, one of the few remaining
Negro spokesman for Commun-
ism, who says that America is en-
gagged in "genoCide" that is to
say. in a planned mass extermina-
ton of Negroes. The Kremlin
would of course like to place this
brand of Cain on America.
The genocide charge is a lie, but
even what is true is bitter
enough. J. Saunders Readings re-
cent little book, "On Being Ne
gro in America" shows that even
an intellectual like Redding finds
it hard thing to be a Negro in
America.
When Redding tries to remem-

Pacific Trend in Cabinets Held an Aid
By GIodys Miller

Selecting furniture for foyers
oft-kltchen paSsageways, in living
rooms which lead from front to
kitchen door. requires some look
ing. In smaller communities you
may not find them, but unusual
and practical pieces are being
made.
Some cabinets have most of the
space concealed by sliding or
hinged doors; some are covered by
glass doors and in others the
space Is left open and free.
Other pieces are more readily
classified as tables, although they
may include storage space.
A cabinet made on the Pacific
Coast, designed by Lorin Jackson,
is part of group known as
Pacific Trend" that has many ac-
ceptable qualities not generally
found in furniture design.
The wood used is white Ap-
palachian oak. The pulls are
brass. The doors are covered with
cane which adds the texture fash
ion feature so often evidenced in.
new home furnishings. When you
open these doors you will find two
silver drawers or, if you prefer,
these may be used for costume
jewelry or playing cards. Linens
may be stored in the shelves be-
low or folded lingerie or maga-
zines. The small drawer to the
left is perfect place to keep play
ing cards. cigarettes and score
pads if the piece is kept in the liv-
ing room, cocktail napkins, if it is
used for the dining area, and small
cosmetic containers if it is used
for a bedroom piece. /
Design-wise. this piece demands
attention. 1t should be placed at
some focal point where it can add
style and drama to the room.
The wall behind may be covered
with a textured paper the same
tone as the piece itself or it may
be painted a dark color to frame
1t more effectively. !

munist leaders would go far to
combat the mounting attacks on
the rights of non-Communists,
which you have deplored in many
public speeches against "Mc-
Carthyism. At the same time,
their conviction was upheld by a
Supreme Court which failed to re-
view their trial, but passed only

Smith Act under which they were
| indicted. Two Justices registered
their vigorous dissents. Two of the
Justices in the majority admitted
doubt as to the wisdom and ef-
ficacy of the Smith Act.
Since the Supreme Court acted
on June 4, 1851, growing numbers
of Americans have expressed their
agreement with the position taken
by the November, 1851, National
! Convention of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations that, "The

These men were convicted for
agreeing to "teach and advocate"

of Supreme Court Justice Hugo
