Meqroes IN Government

Chairman of the powerful House
Committee on Expenditures in the
Executive Departments; and for the
first time Negro woman, Mrs. Chris
tine Davis, is Clerk Of that Committee.
In the Judicial branch Irving C..
Moliison was appointed to the U. S.
Court Of Claims. William H. HASTE,
was named by President Truman
Governor Of the Virgin Islands and
later to the us. Court of Appeals.
In the Executive branch appoint
ments of outstanding Negro women
such as Anna Hedgeman in the Social
Security Administration and Thoma-
siaa Norford in the Department of
Labor serve as beacon lights of inspi-
ration to young Negro womanhood.
The attitude of Governor Stevenson
as President will be no different from
that he has shown as Governor of
Illinois. He has been a trail-blazer in
his appointment of Negroes to Office.
Appointments of DR.. Robert E. Giles
as the first Negro ever to serve on a
state board of pharmacy and of Cyrus
J. Golfer as member Of the Illinois
Commerce Commission are typical of
Stevenson's ability to recognize merit
as the sole test for any job.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-10-25

Hartley Act; wanted to force Presi.
dent Truman to use an injunction TO
halt the strike of the steel workers,
Sparkman opposed these two pro.
posals; his opponent voted for them.
The big meat-packers and chain
groceries wanted to cripple OPA and
all forms of price control to squeeze
more profit from American families.
Sparkman opposed these measures;
his Republican opponent went right
down the line to aid big business.
The big real estate Hobbies launched
attack after attack against public low
cost housing programs; against rent
control. John Sparkman voted for
low cost housing and rent control: his
Republican opponent - echoing his
Party's platform, echoing the senti-
ments of General Eisenhower, echoing
the attitude of COP Big Wheels like
Senator Taft, obeyed the orders of the
Real Estate Lobby and voted against
low cost housing and rent control.
A devout Christian all his life, John
Sparkman knows the meaning of
pledge. He has pledged himself to
support his Party's platform on civil
rights; to work for change of rules
in the Senate blocking the chance for
ma jority of the Senate to bring civil
rights measures to vote. He will
honor that pledge.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-10-25
NIXON HAS NO
PLEDGE TO KEEP

His Republican opponent has no
pledge to keep. For his Party's weasel
worded platform straddles the issue
of compulsory FEPC; and is totally
silent on change of Congressional
Jules. And his running-mate the very
general General is mot yet convinced"
that we need Federal F9PC. Poor
Richard Nieon-he of the $4,000 gift
fame-who voted against a Federal
FEPC-may be counted upon to con-
tinue his opposition to civil rights.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-10-25

Twenty years of government in
Washington under the Democratic
Party has brought vast extension Of
employment of Negroes in our Fed
eral Civil Service. By Executive Order
President Truman has set up a Fair
Employment Board in the Civil Sery-
ice Commission. Negro Americans are
represented on that Board
The billions of dollars paid out by
our government to private industry
create many jobs. BY order of Presi-
dent Truman every government con.
tract provides that no contractor may
practice discrimination in employ
ment. This provision is enforced by
Committee on Contract Compliance
established in 1851. Two Negro Amer
leans serve on that Committee.
But the most dramatic symbol Of
the attitude of the Democratic Adj
ministration towards the aspirations
Of Negro America will be found in its
selection of Negroes for posts of high
honor.
MILESTONES OF PROGRESS
Thus for the first time in our Ma
tons history Negro American, Con.
gresham William l. Dawson sits as
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-10-25

What is the character of the man
who made the pledge printed above?
He knows the nature of the Demo-
cratic program well. For in the COM
pany of Democratic leaders like Sem
ator Herbert Lehman of New York
and Congressman William L. Dawson
of Illinois he labored without rest for
more than 20 hours drafting that pro-
gram at the Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago last July.
Like his fellow Southerner, Supreme
Court Justice Hugo Black, the grow
ing challenge to free democratic insti-
tutions has broadened the horizons
for Sparkman, the son of an Alabama
sharecropper. We find him concern
ing himself with our Point Four pro-
gram for technical assistance to the
peoples of Africa and Asia; for out
right gift of wheat to famine ridden
India at a time when his opponent
for the Vice-Presidency opposed such
a gift.
SPARKMAN'S RECORD
Indeed on every basic issue affect
ing the economic welfare of the
people and the nation John Spark
man has good record; his opponent
has bad one.
Big oil lobbies want the tideland
oil rights taken from the Federal
Government and turned over to the
states where they can manipulate con-
troll Of this great natural resource for
their selfish ends. Sparkman opposed
this; the Republican candidate was
for it.
Senate reactionaries fought to cut
drastically appropriations for IVA,
for soil conservation which meant
cheap electricity and good farm acre
age to millions of our farmers. Spark
man opposed this; his opponent was
all for it.
Anti-labor Senators wanted to over
ride the Presidents veto of the Taft
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1952-10-25

Ike Pledges
 To Help Elect COP Congress

CHICAGO, P) = Gen. Eisen- hover, Republican nominee for President, greeted scores of Con- gressmen Saturday and pledged himself to help elect Republican Congress in November.
 Among those visiting Eisen- hower's Blackstone Hotel suite were a number who actively backed Senator Taft for the nom- ination. They included Senators John w. Bricker of Ohio, Eugene D. Millikin of Colorado, an d Homer Ferguson of Michigan.
 Rep. George Bender of Ohio, who led the convention floor dem onstration after Taft's name was put in nomination, appeared wearing a button on his lapel which read "I Like Everybody"
 Sen. Smith of New Jersey told reporters "If ever there was a man that can bring people to- gether it was Ike Eisenhower - whether it is organizing for col lective security abroad or organ izing the Republican party for victory in November"
 Sen. Cain of Washington called the Eisenhower Nixon ticket 'An excellent combination - an all- American team which will win for uS."

Communists Admit Record Casualties In Allied Air Strike

TOKYO, (P) = The Copmunist Pyongyang radio said Saturday the United Nations record air strike against the North Korean capital Friday left in its wake 2,000 dead, 4,000 injured and 25O missing.
 The broadcast said an unknown number of captured Allied sol diers in a Reds prisoner of war camp were killed and wounded.
 Tokyo observers said the Com munist admission of air raid cas- ualties was the greatest they re- called in the Korean war.
 The United Nations high com- mand said all targets were mili- tary installations. The Commun- iSt broadcast said the death toll was heavy among women, chil- dren and old persons"

HOSPITAL CASE OF
 MISTAKEN IDENTITY

ATLANTA, Ga., (P) = Alberta Favors, 28-year-old Negro woman, said a strange Negro man entered her apartment Friday night, plunged a knife into her side, looked surprised and said:
 Excuse me, 1 thought you was my wife"
 He then fled and she went to a hospital for treatment of the wound which is not expected to be fatal.
 The bewildered victim told po- lice she never had seen the man before.

COST OF THE STEEL STRIKE

According to one estimate that has come to our attention the steel strike costs the workers about $7 million day in wages, the industry about $2 million day in profits and the government between $3 and $4 million day in taxes
 The inability of management and labor to agree has stopped S8 percent of the steel production in this country. Unless the strike is ended by August our arms program will be in serious trouble.
 The interest of the public in this matter will soon far outweigh the interest of both labor and manage ment.

PAA CIRCUS" SHIPMENT

SEATTLE, (P - Shipment of animals by air is not unusual. Nevertheless, the Seattle cargo crew of Pan American World Air ways was moved Saturday to comment, What is this - an air line or a circus?" Reason: An Alaska-bound shipment including two skunks, a mink, monkey and two wild geese.
 Out of consideration for pas sengers travelling north aboard the same clipper employees made certain the Skunks were of the deodorized variety before ac- cepting them.

The fact that the dollar today is worth only about 53 cents compared with 1889 will in for con- sderaton the various national candidates express their views in effort favoraby impress the voters of this nation before the election this fall
 The Republican line is of course, that the white collar workers and others who are unorganized and unable to get wage raises fast prices go up are suffering from the Democratic Party imitation People living pensions other kinds of fixed incomes are certainly not being treated fairly by administration which apparently encourages continuous imitation.
 The Democratic candidates take the position that this sponsored imitation has prevented depression and urge the voters not to take chance changing the administration and bringing national depres- sion.
 There are number of forces at work today that will affect the worth of the future dollar People buying cautiously and this has stabzing effect the value of currency. Another thing that indi- no runaway initiation is the large supply of goods on hand

New Dual Planned
By Highway Dept.

A dual or divided highway lead
ing from Five Points to Rehoboth
is high on the list of projects for
construction by the State Highway
Department in order TO provide
for the anticipated increase in traf-
fic in that area
This project was placed on the
approved list for construction at a
meeting of the State Highway De-
partment on May 18th Of this year
and most of the engineering studies
on the project have been completed.
According to plans now being
studied by the Department engine
ers for this project, the dual or
divided highway will start at the
intersection of Route IA. leading
from Milford and the North, and
. Route Is, leading from Georgetown
and the West.
The first portion of the dual or
divided highway would be con-
structed through a new location
from Five Points to Carpenters S
Corner. which is along the present
highway leading to RehObOth and
which is the point where The exist
ing highway comes from Lewes to
the RehObOth highway.
Then from Carpenters Corner
to ShOckley's Corner, this latter
point being where the existing high
way leading to Bethany Beach
branches off from Route IA and be-
comes Route 14-A, the existing
roadway will become one lane of
the dual highway while an entire
new roadway will be constructed
for the other lane
Continued and increased use of
the Delaware Memorial Bridge and
the Chesapeake Bay Bridge by
traffic going to ocean front areas
from RehObOth south is anticipated
and the Improvement is being
planned to provide for this traffic
Traffic from the Delaware Mem
prial Bridge approaches Five
Points along Route IA while traffic
from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
reaches the same intersection

Y 0 U r UN NITED
S T A T E S
BY FLOYD cRAMER
President Of the National Association for the
Preservation Of Free Enterprise, Inc.

About fifty years ago, newspaper
cartoonists depicted the Money
Power in America as a fat man,
smoking a big cigar, and wearing
"a silk hat and a suit covered with
dollar signs. And about 40 years
ago, when Theodore Roosevelt pop
ularized the expression "malefac-
tors of great wealth, the general
public Immediately connected that
expression with the character in
the newspaper cartoons.
ROOsevelt's bitter denunciations
and the cartOonists' scathing draw
ing both had some jurisdiction at
the time.
But part of our troubles today
are due to the fact that too many
of us are still thinking of economic
affairs just as our fathers thought
of them forty years ago.
Let's ask ourselves a simple ques-
tion. Who owns Big Business today ?
The answer, though it may seem
strange, is that people own it.
l said, the people. And l mean the
people as individuals. Millions of
people.
II that seems untrue to you, bear
with me for just a few seconds
longer.
Take the giant corporations.
American Tel and Tel has mil
lion 300 thousand stockholders.
The men who manage and direct
General Motors do not own enough
Of that company to control it. Their
stock interest is exceeded many
times over the holdings of the gen.
eral public
In many hundreds of our COrpor-
atiOns. the management group has
to win the endorsement of the
Shareholders at annual stock hold
ers meetings, year after year.
But, perhaps you youself don't
own any stock Even so, my state
ment still applies, because you, as
an individual have a direct interest
in the success of American bust
ness. Here is one of the ways in
which you are interested.
Every dollar you have in a bank,
every dollar you have paid out on
an insurance policy, every dollar
you have in a pension or retire
ment plan is re-invested by the
people with whom you have en-
trusted it.
Certainly. if these organizations
which are holding your money for
you are prudently run, every loan
they make is put out against good
security. But banks and insurance
companies don't earn interest and
dividends for you by fOreclosing
loans and seizing the securities.
They make money, when the loans
are repaid with interest.
In short, they make money when
the enterprise in which they have
invested your cash is successful.
Only when the borrower prOspers
can the loan be met. and the pro-
fit-yOur prOfit-be paid to you.

along Route Is.

along Route Is.
Accordingly the dual highway is
being planned to provide for this
converging traffic which is expect
ed to increase greatly in the fu-
ture.
Construction of the proposed
dual highway through the new 10
cation from Five Points to Carpen-
ter's Corner will eliminate the
present congested area at West
coats Corner where. at the present
time, traffic from the north and
west for Lewes and RehObOth is
divided.
Plans being studied at the pres
ent time would provide for traffic
on Route IA, from the North, head
ing almost directly on the proposed
new dual highway while traffic
islands thanking an easy curve
would be provided for traffic from
Route Is merging into the traffic
on the proposed new highway.
According to r. A. Haber, Chief
Engineer of the State Highway De-
partment, the engineering studies
and planning details on this pro-
posed project have not advanced
sufficiently to estimate a date for
possible advertising for bids.
During the present construction
season the Department has COM
pleted the improvement of the
existing highway leading from
Lewes to Carpenters Corner, by
way of Murray's Corner, in order
to provide for traffic from the
Lewes area to the present RehO-
both Highway.
This project included the widen
ing and resurfacing of the existing
with that portion within
Lewes being improved from curb
to curb.
The Department has also just
completed an existing highway by
making it an earth stabilized and
surface treated highway, leading
into Bethany Beach from the West.
