Judge julius Waites Waring
AS Federal Judge of the United
States District Court, julius War
ing handed down a decision in July,
1947, making it possible for the
first time in the history of the
State of South Carolina for Neg
rOes to vote in a Democratic pri-
mary election.
Born July 27, 1880, in South
Carolina, Justice Waring was APP
pointed to the judgeship in 1912;
before that, he had practiced law,
and been Assistant U. S. ATTORNEY
General for Charleston and Cor
poration Counsel for the same city.
His decision brought $4,000 Ne
gro voters to the primary polls in
August, 1913. The Judge also sup
ported other legal actions which
would aid the Southern Negro to
attain the status of a citizen in the
states of the South.
Judge Warnings decisions have
been described by the Christian
, Science Monitor as the work of a
"candid fighter" and by Time Mag
azine as the memorable act of a
man of cool courage" Some spokes-
men for the South, however, de-
nounced him.
The Judge was awarded the hon
orary degree of LID. by the Col
lege of Charleston in 1915. He is
member of the Charleston Coun-
ty, S. c., and American Bar Asso-
Citations; of the Charleston Mu-
scum; the South Carolina Society;
the St. George Society, and Alpha
Tau Omega. For many years he
was a trustee of the College of
Charleston, in which school he did
his undergraduate work leading to
the A. B. degree.

Campaign Train.
For this last campaign stretch,
Gov. Stevenson is abandoning his
airplanes and turning to the ira
ditional whistle-stop campaign
train. The airborne campaign has
been useful in getting him around
a great deal of country in short
time, but it would be hopeless for
such concentrated effort as is
planned from here on.
1t also seems likely that there
will be more concentration on the
central issue of the campaign. On
such matters as Communism, Ko-
rea, civil rights and corruption
the candidate has said about all
that he is expected to say. From
here on, if the predictions are
right. the big theme will be pros
|perity, with the accent on "don't
let them take it away"
The Democratic strategists are
painfully aware that a whole gen.
Grafton of voters will go to the
polls this year too young to re-
member what the depression was
like. But they will probably have

Record Polio Total
Considered Possible
By Fund Director

Care of polio patients in 1852
is now at it's highest critical level,
Warren D. CoSs, national director
of the March of Dimes, said to-
day.
Presiding at a seven-State con-
ference of volunteers and officers
of the National Foundation for
1nfantile Paralysis at the May
flower Hotel, Mr.. CoSS said polio
cases to date are now well over
the $4,000 mark. He said the fig
ure indicates the total for this
year will reach from $4,000 to
10000.
Sees Record Possible.
Mr.. Coss said 1852 could posi-
bly, have some $4,000 more cases
than in 1949-the worst year in
polio.
while weekly incidence is now
slowly declining" Mr.. CosS said,
thousands of new cases of polio
are being hospitalized each week
more rapidly than patients are
being dismissed. The situation
has placed a heavy burden upon
the chapters of the national
foundation. Over 900 chapters
have used all their funds.
I'm this area the cases as of
October II show the District of
Columbia with 122, Maryland with
140. Virginia with SGT, Pennsyl-
vania with 1,172, Delaware with
81, and New York with 2,075.

their franker moments as an out

The big jackpot is New York.
If the Democrats can take its 45
votes and get anything close to
an even break on the rest of the
doubtful States, they believe they
are in. Historically only two
Presidents since 1900 have lost
New York and won the election.
One of them was Woodrow Will
son in 1916. The other was Harry
Truman in 1948.
AS an indication of how they
feel about New York, the Gov

81 speeches in II cities and towns

set up in New York City.

We had our troubles but our
Americanism and our Judaism
helped us bear them. My grand
mother Esther, who raised me,
couldn't afford to give me much
Heder training, but I learned to
be a Jew in much the same way
that I learned to be an Ameri-

be a Jew from seeing the way
in which Jews reacted to the
troubles of others. 1t seemed to
me that this was their special
distinction. A Jew who didn't
have charity in his heart wasn't
a good Jew. We didn't know
much about scientific charity in
those days, but there was a
"pushke" in every home. A Jew

him in their history books today

one born during his term of office

those days, the total population
of New York and Brooklyn,

were part of a world Jewish plot,

being as bad as we said.
