"The First Negro To-
A Dubious
Distinction!

DlStlnCtIOn!
Academic tradition has it that
when Harvard boasted of James
and Royce and MunSterberg and
Santayana, it had the ablest de-
partment of philosophy in the
world. Four giants in philosophy!
When i was a, student at Har-
ward all of my work came in EN-
erson Hall, the hall of philosophy
observed on many occasions the
little room where these four great
philosophers met, but James and
Royce in particular, would meet
and discuss the subject of Wheth-
er man runs because he is
afraid or is he afraid because he
runs.
James said he runs because he
is afraid and Royce contended
that he is afraid because he runs
and SO the debate went on for
decades Two schools of thought
were developed, each with its de-
voteeS.
The instance in question shows
how Intellectual reSourcefulneSG
can indefinitely prolong debate
on any question. The point made
here is that the writer has a little
grand-niece in Detroit, with
whom. he is forever. debating
the little niece is a little Negro
girl or just little girl.
She contends that she is just
another girl, while the writer
contends that she is a little Ne
gro girl. Although she contends
that she is just another little girl
'--wishful thinking at its very best
- the writer contends that in
.asmuch as nine-tenths of her as
Sociations are with Negroes she
is to all intentS and purposes a
little Negro girl.
Of course there are casual as
Sociations with her schoolmates
who are white. But on the whole
her social life is bounded by the
color question. If she gets over at
all Negroes will have to put her
over.
1t is quite easy to understand
why Negroes incline themselves
to make themselves believe that
they are just plain American citi-
Zens, no more and no less; but it
does not work out so easily in
their daily intercourse. At every
turn we are met with the vaga-
ries Of the color question, with
which we must deal on racial
basis.
It is the northern Negro who
often strives hardest to make
himself believe that he is just
another American citizen. He holds
to his belief even when he must
come south to find decent en-
ployment; but once in the south
he takes jimcrowism in stride and
accepts - in practice - Segrega-
ton. This is unfortunate but true!
The point of this release hinges
about the notion so often express
ed when Negroes claim to be the
first Negro to achieve certain dis
tinctions. There is today a well
defined cult which could easily
be called the "FirSt-NegroeS-to'
cult. Our newspapers are clut-
tered with "FirSt-Negro-to" news
Things the White man has been
doing for hundreds Of years are
news when the first Negro to ac-
comrliSh them gets hearing. So
often the Negro's claim to distinc-
ton resides, not so much in the
achievement in question, but ir
the fact that he is the first Negro
to achieve it.
This column is beginning tC
ask whether or not this First
to-" distinction is not Of dubious
merit. Although perfectly under
Standable. it occurs to us kha
while the "FirSt-Negro-to" dis.
tinction may initiate the preStig'
of a given Negro in a given stu
alton. it nevertheless disparage

There has been a decline OF

The Army Surgeon General told

among United Nations troops, ex-
lcluding South Koreans, have
proved fatal. There are few cases
among South Koreans. he said.

By3G. 0. P. Senators
BY the Asseeieted Press

Gen. Eisenhower's theme OF
''the middle way" for his presi-
dental campaign drew cheers to-
day from three Republican Sena-
tors.
Senator Mundt Of South Dakota
said Gen. Eisenhower's campaign
kickoff at Boise, Idaho, yesterday
sets a sound sense of direction
for the coming campaign"
Millions Of independent voters
and constitutional Democrats will
welcome the opportunity to sup
port a candidate pledged to our
traditional American concepts. p"
Senator Mundt said.
Senator Hickenlooper of Iowa
called the Eisenhower speech "ex-
tremely sound" and added:
HE believes that In order to
60 forward the American people
must be freed from the extreme
views Of the left wingers on one
hand and the so-called complete
reactionaries on the other"
Bennett Praises Speech.
Senator Bennett Of Utah said
he could support everything that
Gen. Eisenhower listed as goals
for the American people. He
added that the address would have
q special appeal to Westerners.
"WesternerS don't want the
Federal Government to turn US
into reservation Indians" Sen
ator Bennett said. I'VE want
Eisenhower's attitude carried out
in proposals for reclamation and
power developments"
In plunking for "the straight
road down the middle, the path
Of progress" in Government, Gen.
Eisenhower promised to avoid

paths.
Doctrine of ''Leftists."
"The facile arguments Of the
leftists are now the doctrine Of

pared text.
Senator Mundt called this an
indictment of the party in power
for their studied efforts to push
and pull America far to the left

Senator Bennett said the DEM
ocratS probably will try to label
Gen. Eisenhower as right
winger because the middle of the

Inspiration, Plans Must

It takes no gift of prophecy
to see the green fields, thriving
cities, the humming industries
that will be there one day, and
the only thing We need to make
certain is that there will be an
efficient development, one that
will bring happiness to all the
humans living in it. And that
the courage and the vision Of
the people living right here in
the West are the ones who give
the inspiration to the develop

pate in this great transforma-
ton. the great adventure, where
it is necessary for them to par
ticipate; but let them be here
only to represent the interests
Of all the people Of the United
States, while the local govern
ments are concerned only with
the inspiration. with the cour-
age. and heart of Westerners,
because, my friends, courage,
heart, vision. those cannot be
imported and they cannot be
sent into you. Those are the
product Of the people. You
living here on these great noun
tainS and plains and valleys Of
the West have had a reputa-
ton for possessing these great
qualities in full measure. So,
therefore. the inspiration, the
vision, the plans must come
from here and outside help must
be limited to that that is neces-
sary and only as partners. And
let no bureaucrat think that he
can be the boss of a Governor
Of a Western State.
In this great business, then,
we are not going to gear here
the West to Washington. We
will simply gear Washington in
its proper sphere to the West

we did not talk partisan poll

They are men of realism.
They are men that realize that
nothing is produced in this
world except with imagination
and with the spirit and the
courage of men and with their
hard work. BY the sweat Of
their brows do they believe in
earning their bread. They are
sturdy, independent Americans,
worthy of the pioneers that
established this great country.
But more than being great
Americans, they are also SYM

protection that every individual
citizen has in this country
against the unjust exercise Of
power from a central source in
Washington. They are symbols
of the fact that this country Is a
federal organization, and organ

each of them heads one. They
are symbols Of what our found-,,

they would establish q middle
