Senator Flags Red Plot To Cash
In On Christmas Trimming In US.

WASHINGTON - (NC) - God
less communists, in one of their
"most diabolic conspiracies"
which ''turns the stomach of every
decent American, are trying to
cash in from unsuspecting Ameri-
cans by flooding this country with
Christmas tree ornaments, Senator
Alexander Wiley of Wisconsin has
charged.
The Senator asserted that some
75,O00,00O Christmas tree orna-
ments have come to the United
States, designed to register some
S7,O00,000 in sales which would go
back into Red lands.
Lets not allow the hallowed
Yuletide to be debased by COM
munist plotters," the Senator said.
"Let us turn thumbs down on Red
products"
In a newsletter to his Wisconsin
constituents the Senator said the
tree ornaments from iron curtain
countries are grossly inferior to
American made merchandise but
the Red products can be sold
cheaply because the Soviet govern
ment subsidized the exports. He
said the Red products enter this
country legally on ships of all ma
tions, including American ships.
"Only boycott can prevent the
success of the Red conspiracy" to
flood the American market with
goods, not only Christmas orna-
ments, but furs and other items,
and "bring back dollars behind the
iron curtain" Senator Wiley said.
"This whole situation turns the
stomach. of every decent Ameri-
can" he said. ITO think that
Christmas should be used in effect
by the anti-Christ of the Comm
tern, to think that at the very
time when American boys are dy-
ing in the SHOWS of Korea under
communist bullets, the Reds should
be cashing in by having unsuspect-
ing Americans buy Red Christmas
tree ornaments to honor the
Prince of Peace"
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 4 NC)-
Women of America have been urg-
ed to boycott products made in
Russian satellite countries.

Goods greatest gift is =

BY MABE KOUNTZE


JUNE GRADUATIoNS call for
noble speeches. So, today, this
very humble commentator would
like to quote just a few learned
opinions of famous Americans
whose knowledge of life's road
blocks is beyond any doubt. If
every graduate will study and
digest the information given by
these Americans I am certain
all will profit.
~ ~ &&
CARTER WOODSON, dean of
colored historians, first reminds
the student he must forget all
textbooks which taught Inferior
ity. Many textbooks are infiu-
enced by colonial-minded Eng
lish or Dixiecrat-minded south
on issues of race. DR.. Woodson
wrote: 1T took me over 80 years
to get over my Harvard educa-
tion."
DR.. CARVER, recognized as
one of the greatest Agricultural
Scientists, spoke this wisdom
during his final years: 'Life re-
quires thorough preparation.
Veneer isn't worth anything. We
must dismiss ourselves from the
idea there is a shortcut to
achievement I discovered
nothing in my Laboratory. I do
all things through Christ"
- ~ $&
EDUCATION, after all is
nothing more than seeking and
understanding" continued DR..
Carver, "creative genius is what
makes people respect you /.
It isn't a color question, it's a
F.; question of whether you have
what the world wants. And,
something else to remember. Stop
talking so much. You never saw
a heavy thinker with his mouth
open ="
&& - 80
IF YOU KNOW anything, you
recommend yourself" said DR..
Carver who was then speaking
to those who falsely believe a
dark complexion bars them from
success. 1t didn't hinder Mr..
Carver, a man who won fame
working in common soil and
roots. Of this he said: "When
you can do the common things
in an uncommon way, you will
command the attention of the
world" Students, jot this in your
notebook.

DIR. MARY BETHUNE who
has devoted her life to American
education, provides these ideas
on integration: "Our segregated
schools will one day be open to
all-both ways. Will we want
them back Our segregated jobs
will be gone, are going In fact.
Will we want them back? Here
in Florida the doors of my home
are open. The doors of the school
I founded are open. 1t is the
only way"
CIVIL RIGHTS, are they
"communistic invention? Should
colored youth subscribe to the
teachings of Rankin and Bilbo?
viii you accept a 49th segregated
state or sail en- masse to Africa
or the Moon? Is it "disloyal"
to seek a full citizenship. For
mer u. S. Attorney General Nc
Grath said: "a citizen who as
serts his own rights is there
for not only protecting himself
but fellow citizens"

TAN YANK student graduates,
and many future graduat"- to
come, may help solve many OF
the current problems not only
of their own race, but of many
nations, races, and the world as
a whole. DR.. RALPH BUNCHE
has proven the vast possibilities
and many other leaders have
shown the way. They are the
real teachers, much more than
the textbooks. And the greatest
Teacher of all, is God.

ROBSON CONCERT
Sinqers VOice IN Pristine Resonance and GIOIy

Forty thousand persons heard
Paul Robson sing at the Inter
national Peace Arch in the State
of Washington on the Canadian
border, recently, his audience
about evenly divided between
Americans and Canadians.
Later in Oakland and San
Francisco, civic auditoriums were
denied Robson on grounds that
he is a -winger. Neverthe-
less, he sang in San Francisco
in a dual concert in two halls
the same evening, in Macedonia
Baptist Church, and the follow
ing evening he appeared in
Berkeley's Community Center
Theatre, where the board had
voted 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 1, opposition to
him on the part of civil authoris
ties have waxed intense and acri-
monious. Much of the opposi-
ton is an aftermath of 1949
Peekskill riots, precipitated by
veterans and race baiters, after
which Robson brought a dam
age suit of two million dollars.
Robeson's very presence seems
to arouse a hysterical fear in
those who oppose his political
views. Not since Frederic Doug
lass time have white Americans
so greatly feared a colored Am
erican.
All sorts Of threats and pres
Sures were brought to bear on
the Berkeley Department Of
Education to bar Robeson's ap-
pearance 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 con-
certs were orderly and, as Robe
son had promised. no speeches
were made
