Miniature Segregation
BY EARL

It was almost a perfect day at Little
Rock amusement park last Sunday; the day
had been perfectly enjoyed and unbias for
a certain little boy who | had in my Gus
tody He had enjoyed the boats, kiddie cars
and horses, all of which were unsegregated,
and after a look at the silver colored
streamined train resistance could not be
sustained by the small boy. The bright
eyed four year Odds perfect day ended when
| was informed had to put him in the rear
coach behind the white children. If ! had
placed him there il would have been hard
er to explain TO him the evils of segrega-
ton than it was to explain why he could
not have that train ride.
Although segregation laws in Arkan-
sas still exist, we don't believe that IL is
the policy of the park to force the issue
upon little children who know nothing Of
the evils Of segregation and discrimination.
II is felt that we should pay for segresa-
ton only where 1t is necessary, such as

Plots Against Robson
BY L. Baynard Whitney

Forty thousand persons heard Paul
Robson sing at the international Peace
Arch in the State of Washington on the
Canadian border recently. His audience was
about evenly divided between Americans and
Canadians. 1t was great tribute to great
artist.
Later in Oakland and San Francisco.
civic auditoriums were denied Robson on
grounds that he is left-winger. Neverthe-
less, he sang in San Francisco in dual con-
cert in two halls the same evening, in Ma
cedonia Baptist church, and the following
evening he appeared in Berkeley's commune
ty center theatre, where the board had vot-
ed 3 to 2 in his favor. One Pacific Coast
city went so far as to pass law to bar
him.
Ever since the beginning of Robeson's
concert tour of 80 states on April 1st OPP
position to him on the part of civil authori-
ties has waxed intense and acrimonious.
Much of the opposition is an aftermath OF
1949 Peekskill riots, precipitated by veterans
and race baiters, after which Robson
brought a damage suit of two million dol
lars.
Robeson's very presence seems to a.
rouse hysterical fear in those who oppose

The High Cost Of Nothing
BY Elliott Carlton

Well, they say that the cost of living
hasn't been going up so rapidly during the
last few months. A few folks In Washing
ton are shaking hands, taking credit for the
price plateau The free enterprise boys free
with government contracts are saying,
"See, We told you sol"
They forget that they told us so back
in 1915, and that for seven long years prices
have been going up so fast that some of us
have thought those flying saucers were only
housewives Dishes. After all, what's the use
Of dishes. If you can't afford the food?
Anyway, so now we're on plateau. OF
course. the plateau is on top Of Mt. Everest.
but a plateau is plateau. And if the Big
Bows want to know why prices have level
ed off, we can let them in on little secret:
"After we pay for butter meat rent, and
clothing, we have no money"
YEAH they did nothing just about moth
ing, about rising prices. And nothing has
cost US plenty.
Nothing has been costing us plenty in
other ways, too. Doing nothing about dis

elimination has been costly beyond belief.
But it has been costly only to us, for this
nothingness has been free gift TO Russian
foreign policy
Let's look az The record. Fair employ
ment practices? Anu-poll tax legislation?
Laws against restrictive housing? Adequate
schooling regardless of color? Ant-lynch
law legislation Nothing, nothing nothing.
NOTHING.
The Russians are making much of this
nothing. They are convincing the billion or
more folks all over the world who do not
happen to be white that we are not their
friends. That nothing. then, is costing us
friends.
There u.s. of course, still time TO avert
war. We can avert war If we can prove to
the Russians that our allies are as ntrner-
Gus as theirs. In other words we must do
something.
Think IL over: Nothing in the rise Of
the price level. has cost us money. Nothing,
in our anti-discrimination policy, may cost
us our lives

Russian Communism must be destroyed
With their own mouths its leaders have pro-
missed to destroy us. 1t is matter of survi-
val for America and all humanity.
Russian Communism is the science of
ignorance, terror and sub-human brutality.
1t is a denial of God and His authority; a
negation Of everything decent and worth
while accomplished by man since the be-
ginning Of time.
Russian Communism is the most deadly
menace ever to threaten America. and all
humanity. The most savage conquerors in
all history were concerned only with material
destruction and gain. The dabolcal obiec-
tives of Russian Communism are the minds
and souls of men and the destruction of
mans conscience, that unfailing court Of JUS

Loud Talk And Little Stick

Teddy Roosevelt in speech at the Min
nesota State Fair in 1901 told his audience
that if you "speak softly and carry big
stick; you will 60 far We were reminded
of this while listening to some of the yaek-
ety-yack of our leaders who consider them
selves political prophets.
All the big talk about the Negro vote
and all the warnings about what Negro
voters are going to do in the 1852 election
NAV serve some constructive purpose pro-
yiding enough Negroes register and vote.
This is a very important provision. If we do
not register and vote our full strength in
1852. all the loud talk will become meaning
less. To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt if you
sneak loudly and carry little stick, you
will go nowhere.
Our leadership might take lesson from
the labor leaders who got caught on long
limb in their fight against Taft in Ohio.
They talked loudly but nothing happened.
The leaders found themselves at the front
of a parade that wasn't there. The voters
didn't show on election day or those who did
ignored their leaders.

Russian Communism Must Be Destroyed

tice with which God has endowed us all.
These detectives attained, the world and all
humanity are automatically theirs.
Russian Communism has no desire to
convert adults; IL intends only to destroy
them, since they would forever remain a
source of opposition, 1t is concerned only
with infant children and yet unborn genera
tons. It's objective is the perversion Of their
innocent minds to Communism while judge
ment and reason still lack the balance of
knowledge and experience. Once we, the a
dult. are lquidottd. II Is only question of
time before humanity becomes a species OF
sub-human fiend, lacking even the redeeming
instincts Of animals.

dangerous to take too much for granted.
The views of our people have got to be re-
Elected in the ballot box. A Negro who is not
a registered voter has no political views and
is not entitled to any. Whatever he has to
say is just so much natural gas.
recent spot check of registered voters
in the country indicates that considerable
progress has been made but we are nowhere
near our full voting potential. The registra-
ton campaigns in some southern commune
ties have been unusually successful. Oddly
enough however, northern Negroes are not
showing either the interest or the intel
ligence of many of their brothers in dixie.
There is very little time left to register
in many sections of the country and We be-
lieve that a million or more votes will be lost
unless some action is taken Immediately.
Hard hitting registration drives must be or
ganized in the north as well as the south
now Our civic, social and religious organiza-
tons can play decisive role in the area Of
good citizenship. II We want first class cit
izenship, the least we can do is to qualify
and vote for 1t.

his political views. He Yields great influence
among Communists and non-Communists a
like. Not since Frederick Douglas have white
Americans so greatly feared a Negro A
merican.
All sorts of threats and pressures were
brought to bear on the Berkeley department
of education to bar Robeson's appearance on
city property, but they stood firm. Dorothy
Poe, office secretary at Macedonia in San
Francisco, said she received harrassing
phone calls and yelled threats before the
concert. However, both Bay Area concerts
were orderly and, as Robson had promised,
no speeches were made.
Noting the presence in the auditorium of
plain clothes men, Alfred Frankenstein con-
cert reviewer for the San Francisco Chron-
ical, wrote, "But there was nothing more
sensational to quell than an effort on the
part of some members Of the audience 10
sing that subversve anthem, Happy Birth
day to YOU" when the star appeared"
Frankenstein also observed that al
though Robson has been before the pub
lie for over IS years "his voice has never
lost it's grandeur, its resonance and its
glow

Political Confusion

According to the most reliable esti.
mate a larger proportion of the adult
colored population of the United States
will be eligible and able to vote this year
than ever before.
II Is, therefore, unfortunate that they,
along with the majority Of their white fell
low citizens, will be politically more con-
fused than ever, thanks to the effective
deluge of partisan propaganda that has
inundated them for the past twenty years.
In the distant past voters lined up along
political party lines that is, as Republi
cans, Democrats, Socialists, Communists,
Farmer aborites or Prohibitonists, taxi
ing their stand behind the principles for
which their respective parties presumably
and allegedly stood.
This was realistic, since legislative
bodies actually operate on bloc or party
basis the world over, and the representa-
tive without party backing is helpless to
accomplish anything for his constituency
regardless of the wisdom or necessity for
the bills he introduces.
But today voters are asked TO back
men not on basis of party membership
and discipline, but because Of personal
characteristics: such as. oratorcal ability,
affection for labor alleged love of farmers,
Negroes, free enterprise and liberalism;
reputation as a fisherman and family man,
and of course, antagonsm to sin and cor
ruption.
Voters are sent chasing vague legis-
latve will-o'-the-wsps to which party plat
forms following the demarogic trend Of
the times) lend vague and hypocritlcal sup
port in order to catch a few votes, know
ing the promised bills cannot be enacted
into law, and privately believing they
should not.
For instance, colored voters, who in the
millions are registered as Democrats are

New Soho Service
Added For Motorists

A Guaranteed Radiator Protec-
ton Program, to eliminate the
Ohio motorists fear of loss of
anti-freeze during the coming
winter, was announced today by
r. P. Erwin, manager of the
GAINESVILLE Division of The Stan
dard Oil Company (Ohio).
This new Soho service, says
Mr.. Erwin, is very simple. Any
Soho customer who protects his
radiator to minus 20 F. with
Atlas Perma Guard, between
October l and November Is, may
procure any additional Atlas
Perma-Guard required to main
tain the minus 20 protection for
the rest of the winter at no ad-
ditional cost to him.
No permanent anti-freeze
should be left in a motor car over
the summer months, according to
report issued by the National
Bureau of Standards of the U. S.
Department of Commerce.
''To protect against corrosion,'
the report says, drain the anti
freeze solution after one winters
use or earlier if it becomes rusty
in a cooling system that was
reasonably clean when the fresh
anti-freeze solution was install
led"
The attendant at any Soho
station will attach to the motor
lists car the Sohio guarantee card
covering Sohio's new Guaranteed
Radiator Protection.

American Legion
Continued from page one)

even then the post began raising
money for their new building,
not realizing it would take
seven years to complete.
Purchased In 1947
Early in l947, a building site
was purchased from the G. c.
and Ella Belts estate and pre-
liminary plans completed for
cleaning the grounds and grad
ing. The next year, building ma
terials were purchased and the
project again started.
Due to indecision and lack of
a qualified supervisor, the plans
did not move ahead again until
1850 when the foundation was
laid and the four walls put in
place.
But it was now necessary to
raise more money and this was
accomplished the following year
by holding dances in the high
school building.
Now A Reality
Early in 1852, the Legion again
formulated plans to 60 ahead
with their present building and
7 the dreams Of many will become
reality next Saturday when il
is dedicated.
Many members of the legion
post donated labor and time to
make the building a reality, in
addition to the efforts and help
, which they received from the
| ladies auxiliary.
It can thus be seen that the
building project was not an easy
one and the entire post and its
auxiliary are to be congratulated
/ for sticking to their guns and
completing a building, which
can now be used for many public
functions.
1t is expected that a large
number from the Caldwell
American Legion post will attend
the dedication,
