That Yelled Threat By The M's-

10 die on American soil for a democracy

not entirely comprehensive To the black
man.
The threatening or killing Of few Ne
groes is not going to stop the Negroes from
fighting segregation, and their denial Oh
citizenship rights, The Negro doesn lrlgh'-
en- any more. And every time one Is killed

far easier for the south 10 make up us
mind now to treat the Negro as an Ameil-

Of America. One Negro who dies Tor ms
rights and the cause Of his people, Is worth
more than one million Uncle Toms who are
living to espouse the cause of white suprem-
acy,
We believe the threat on Mr. Flowers
is no more than the work of a white supreTn-
acst crank, and nothing more. Still, we IN
no way underestimate the violence that can
be cooked up into the warped minds oil
southern hoodlums, for any group that
claims a right for itself and deny that same
right 10 another is suffering with mental
inefficency. As Lord Chesterfield saws:

The yelled threat on W. Harold Flowers

those who made the threat, II failed to deter
Mr. Flowers from his determination 10 ila
Arkansas of segregation and to serve his Ch-
ents as a praeticing attorney in the courts
of Arkansas. But on the other hand,
united the Negro people to action IN Pine
Bluff and jefferson county more closely
than the verbal teachings of Christ nave
done.
It is not definitely established whether
,he threat is the work of the yellow IlVered

whether il is the work of some White SUI

airline porter of attempting to
hold up and rob Representative
Sutton, Democrat. of Tennessee.

trial in January resulted in a
hung jury.
Thompson had been accused of
assault with intent to rob the
Representative last October in an
alley near the old House Office
Building.
Representative Sutton testified
at both trials that Thompson was
the man who had accosted him
with gun in an alley near First
and c streets Sc. late at night.
Defense Attorney Robert /.
Miller contended throughout both
trials that his client was not the
man and that it was a case of
mistaken identity. Thompson had
been arrested a short while after
Representative Sutton had re-
ported an attempt had been made
to hold him up.
The Representative, who is one
Of Congress most decorated war
veterans. as well as being a for
mer boxer and all-around athlete,
testified he landed a right to the
jaw of his assailant, knocking
him down.

''She did help me decorate it," Amanda
said.
''She did?" John seized on the statement
eagerly 1t revived his confidence to know
he hadn't been wrong.
'She had tremendous fair for that sort
of thing" Amanda said.
''She must be wonderful" John said,
thinking of those luxurious bath towels, so
unlike the dainty, anemic mockeries 50 many
women prefer I'D certainly like to meet
her."
Amanda said, well, there are some

out of my closet down there. If you'll let
me stop in tomorrow afternoon, III see if
can bring Cousin Amanda with me-"
'You will?" John said That would be
wonderful!''
AMANDA said she had to catch train at
nine, so they went on to dinner, at small
place she suggested where an orchestra
played constantly and people were dancing.
John found this disquieting, because being
long and somewhat loose -jointed, he shrank
from parading his ineptitude on the dance
floor. He might be able to talk enough to
keep the point from coming up. The only
thing was he had no talent for so-called
sophisticated conversation, and he was afraid
that was what you had to accept from
Amanda West.

John nodded. How exciting" she said
Il don't agree with you," John said with
a coldness he couldn't conceal.
''Oh?" she said.
Il was born into it," John said. my
father was one of the old time writer's out
there. BY the time grew up enough to get
into it myself, hated it."
Il suppose we have different idea about
it, she said politely.
He laughed shortly. Probably" he said,

dance How about you?" she added suddenly.
Johns heart sank, but there was nothing
he could do without making himself more
ridiculous than he would be on the dance
floor - if that were possible. But when they
were out there and he put his arm around
her, it was like an embodied lightness. He
kept expecting to step on her feet, but her
feet were never there.
Back at the table, she said, ''You still
haven't told me what you're doing in
New York"
John frowned The question brought all

She looked at her watch, and John real
lied with jolt that they had progressed to
the coffee.

he thought would you have time to dance

Failing to step on her feet hadn't been
accidental With unexpected recklessness,
he tried a sort of double forward step he saw
one of the other men on the floor do and it
came out fine He repeated it several times.
'Golly," she sighed when the music
stopped, that was fun. But mustn't miss
