Atlanta Republicans Out
To Swing Georgia Vote

Atlanta Republicans initiated
a drive to swing the Georgia Ne
gro vote to the Republican Party
here Monday with a momentous
mass meeting of voters for EiSen-
hover.
A host of speakers told the
crowd that the Republican Party
is the only hope of Negro voters
who are interested in two-party
system in the South. The mass
meeting was held at Atlanta's
Big Bethel AME Church.
w. J. Shaw, assistant secretary
of the Republican State Central
Committee, reported that more
than $500 was collected at the
meeting. He said the group will
continue to organize meetings at
the precinct levels. Another mass
meeting is also planned.
The panel of speakers concen-
trated its firepower on the Demo-
cratic Party for:
/. It's failure to deliver on civil
rights legislation, despite a clear
mandate from the people to do so.
2. The nomination Of Senator
John Sparkman as Governor
Stevenson's running mate. It was
pointed out that Sparkman has
opposed legislation affecting Ne
groes % times since 1887.
Albert Tuttle, chairman Of the
State Republican Central Com
mittee, hailed the Republican
Party as "the only party in Geor-
gia that Negroes can participate
in"
He charged that the whole
country needs Eisenhower, but
no place needs him as bad as
Georgia"
Other speakers included Rev.
c. N. Ellis, w. J. Shaw, Atty.
Cassandra Maxwell Birnie, Atty.
w. Barnaby Hill, David w. Brown,
John c. Calhoun and c. A. Scott,
editor of the Atlanta Daily World.
MIR. Scott, a former president of
the Citizens Democratic Club, said
he abandoned the Democratic
Party this year because it failed
to deliver on civil rights legiSla-
ton.
He opined that Eisenhower is a
great leader who will have the
support of his party in carrying
out pledges to erase segregation
and racial discrimination in
Washington. &
John Wesley Dobbs, fraternal
leader and vice chairman of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee, presided over the meeting.
He lauded the accomplishment of
the Republican Party.
Attorney CasSandra M. Birnie
spoke on "Why Women Should
Support the Republican Party"
She blasted the Democratic ad-
ministration and added:
"When Senator Sparkman,
Senator George and a few others
go back to Washington they will
see that no president passes any
civil rights legislation"
w. j. Shaw flayed the Georgia
Democratic Party for failing to
give Negroes representation in
party affairs. He contrasted this
with the COP State Central Com
mittee which has SO members, SO

Tampa NAACP Opposes
Contractors Comments

The recent article in leading
Tampa daily paper placing j. L.
Stone, local contractor and busi-
ness man on record as opposing
increase in salary for common
laborers employed by the city of
Tampa and advocating the hiring
of contractors by the city to COL
lect garbage, was violently OBJ
jected to by the executive board
of the Tampa NAACP branch and
the state conference headquar-
tiers.
An officer of the board in COM
menting upon the article said that
Mr.. Cones statement was direct
slur favoring lowered standards
of living and also decreasing the
purchasing power of laborers
now employed by the city.
1--WE go on record as opposing
Mr.. Cones statements as being
obsolete and absolutely worthless
in discussing the ability and the
honesty of the working man en-
plowed by the city where wage
negotiations and benefits are
concerned" the officer said.

Of the Government-the Hoover Com
mission.
Retirement is an Illusion" he has
said.
Retirement from the presidency has
not always meant retirement from the
political arena. The outstanding example,
of course, was John Quincy Adams, who
served in the House from 1881 to 1848.
Van Buren, completed his one term in
1841. He was an unsuccessful candidate
for the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency in 1874. In 1848 he tried
again, received nomination but failed
of election.
Tyler, after the presidency, served in
the provisional Confederate Congress.
He was elected to the permanent Con-
gress but died before that body as
sembled.
Millard Fillmore, who retired in 1853,
was nominated for the presidency in
1856 by the Know Nothing Party and
then by the Wings. He received only
Maryland's electoral vote.
Grants unfortunate presidency had
an unfortunate aftermath. After travel
ing around the world, he returned to
his old home at Galena, Ill. He hoped
for the Republican nomination in 1880,
but was disappointed. He moved to New
York and invested his savings in
banking house. He was disappointed
again. it failed. He wrote for Century
Magazine and then began work on his

Do Your Shopping Early

The Friday after Thanksgiving is day that
attracts many shoppers to the stores in the down.
town area. The schools are closed and many
mothers evidently choose the opportunity to
take the youngsters on a Christmas preview
Other circumstances add to the crowd. This has
been demonstrated in the past.
But Washington seems to have been caught
by surprise last Friday-or else the number of
automobiles has increased to point that comes
very close to traffic saturation and traffic
paralysis. Tall tales are going the rounds of
the time spent on Friday by automobile drivers
trying to penetrate the shopping district from
as short distance away as Massachusetts, ave-
nue.. Parking lots and garages were jammed.
Delivery trucks, with supplies for such places
as restaurants, were completing their delayed
errands late in the day and even postponing
some of them until Saturday morning. Harassed
traffic policemen, with the sole idea of keeping
the intersections relatively clear, were sending
distressed motorists away from their intended
destinations. If Friday did not write new
record in downtown traffic congestion, it must
have come very near doing so.
One hopes that this condition was not
mere forestaste of traffic conditions that will
prevail when the real Christmas shopping rush
gets underway. But smart shoppers will do their
shopping early. And those who park their cars
out of the congested area and use public trans
portation will be wise. For there were times,
on Friday, when nobody was moving anywhere.

ing trade and development OF both the indus
trial and natural resources of the countries
involved must be devised. It is to this problem
that the conference is directing its first attention
1t Is obvious, of course, that final and
lasting solution to the unbalanced dollar VS.
sterling relationship cannot be worked out
unilateraly by the sterling countries. Stimula-
ton of trade among themselves, internal
economies and intensified development Of their
own resources will strengthen their position,
but trade with the dollar area and with other
parts of the globe remains a vital requirement
With period of political transition under
way in the United States, the Commonwealth
countries have an opportunity now to redesign
their own economic structure. 1t is expected
that when this is done the new blueprints will
be laid before the incoming administration in
Washington as next step toward overhauing
the whole pattern of world trade. Neither phase
of this effort will be an easy one, even in the
blueprinting stage, but the economic health and
security of the free world are clearly involved.

Sven Hedin

The Importance of the work of Sven Anders
Hedin is proved by the numbers of references
to it which are to be found in the writings of
other explorers. He was supreme in his knowl-
edge of Central Asia. From 1885 until his death
few days ago at 81 he devoted his talents pre-
dominanty to that one subject. The first of
his monumental books was published when he
was only %. 1t dealt with Persia and Meso-
potamia and set pattern which he followed
in whole library of other volumes Each of
his studies was all-inclusive He was an ethnog-
raphist, historian of human culture Not
only did he approach his material as scholar.
seeking the hidden values of things; he likewise
was skilled craftsman, an artist in the best
meaning of the word. His illustrations made
his text doubly fascinating.
Curiously enough, it was the Arctic that
originally attracted DR.. Hedin. During his boy
hood, he planned to follow the example of
Nordenskjold. Accident led him to attempt to
solve some of the problems of 'the largest
continent in the world"-still the most notably
mysterious. With the help of Won Richthofen,
the German Asiatic authority, he attempted the
conquest" of Tibet and measurably accom-
plished it. More successful, however were his
journeys through the deserts of Mongolia, India,
Arabia. He read many Of the riddles" of the
Cobb, discovered the sources of the Indus and
the Brahmaputra, reopened the "silk road"
travelled by Marco Polo, fixed the location of
Lop-Nor, "the wandering lake"
The demands of such labor upon Dr. Hedin
were exceptional. He went where it was as
dangerous to go as it was difficult. But his
intelligence matched his courage, his devotion
equaled his ambition. No other geographer of
his generation excelled the sum total of his
achievement. He inspired the efforts of legion
of younger contemporaries, Lowell Thomas and
his son included. Sweden, his native country,
honored him generously. Other lands joined in
the homage Some of the tributes paid to him
proved embarrassing. This was particularly true

day anniversary by Hitler. Politics was not his
forte. The endeavors for which he longest will
be remembered were those in which he really
knew what he was doing. His position in ex-

Rates Morse Above Byrd

It is strange that some people don't
know honesty when they see it. I
refer to the honesty Of Senator Wayne
Morse of Oregon.
In the Republican presidential cam
paign, Senator Morse did not like what
he saw and heard. What he saw and
heard violated his concepts of Repub-
licanism as he understands it, He then
not only made a public statement as
to why he disagreed with what he saw
and heard, but he followed through
with resignation from his party. AS
former schoolteacher I would give
Senator Morse 100 for complete honesty.
Senator Byrd disagreed, too, with
what he saw and heard in the Demo-
cratic presidential campaign. He made
a long speech about it. And that was
that.
In an editorial. the st. Louis Post
Dispatch wrote Senator Morse's de-
cision was not easy to make, not nearly
as easy as the decision of Virginia's
Senator Harry Byrd not to support Gov.
Stevenson. Senator Byrd'S long record
as an arch-conservative makes it easy
enough to understand why he finds Gov.
Stevenson and his forward-lo looking
political philosophy quite uncongenia1.
And Senator Byrds tight control of
organization politics in Virginia, con-
troll so tight that he does not even face
Republican opponent, makes it easy
enough for him Ito take a walk" But
in solidly Republican Oregon, Senator
Morse may have paid very real price
for his independence. The discerning
everywhere will recognize the true
vintage of integrity"
When Senator Taft reorganizes the
Senate in January, he may try to
punish Senator Morse when committee
assignments are handed out. But can
you punish q man who can live with
himself? Kathryn Eager.

Not q Routine Case

Attorney General McGranery has taken the
right course in ordering the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to delve into all the ugly rumors
surrounding the paroling and the subsequent
futile efforts to rempriSon three notorious for
mer Capone gangSterS. Inquiries by the press
and by House committee have dug up enough
evidence to indicate that powerful political inf1u
ences were at work in behalf of the gangsters
prior to their release influences backed by large
sums of money from mysterious sources. House
investigators were unable to find out much about
this big money" as the committee called it.
Nor were they able to SubStantiate reports of
bribery. But the House committee did denounce
the freeing of the convicts. This clouded case
should be cleared up, once and for all.

as result of loose handling in the Department
OF Justice of the parolerevocation case of one of
the trio, Paul CThe Waiter) Ricca When Federal
Judge Igoe in Chicago ruled last September that

sion on an appeal was delayed in the department

case was sent without knowledge of the Attorney
General. Mr.. McGranery properly was incensed

While an inquiry by the FBI has attributed
the mishandling to nothing more serious than an
administrative lapse Mr.. McGranery has become
convinced C) that the whole parole case needs
to be reopened and thoroughly investigated and
(2) that administrative procedures in his depart
ment should be revised to make certain that
hereafter no such important matter as the Ca
pone mob paroles escapes his personal attention.

and thus are likely to have the support of Mr..
