How Could You, Mr. President?

In these days and times of world unrest anything can
bappen but who would have predicted that PRESIDENT
Eisenhower would plaster direct slap in the face OF the
Coored population of the earth by recommending Amer
ica's number one race batter, James T. Bymes governor
Of South Carolina to the UN Assembly?
How could you do It, Mr. President? Eyes of l5 mil
lin coored Americans you; to say nothing OF the
other hundreds of millions in other lands 81
Could it be- Mr. Eisenhower, you haven't heard that
this man YOU propose seat in the worlds biggest
qanizatin is Americas number enemy OF democracy
Have you heard this is in the same category as
Maan the modern tyran of South Africa And that they
both believe in segregation based on coor-and whlte
supremacy?
1t is an established fact that Mr.. Byrnes has an
nounced his intention abolish public schools In his state
if the U.S. Supreme Court declares segregation IN pubic
schools unconstitutional Which to in so many Words
to hell with the Supreme Court and the Constitution we
do as we please in South Carolina especially II 1t pertains
TO segregation Negroes And the Supreme Courts and
no other court can stop us. e~
Maan takes the attitude in South Africa He has
his idea about the coored natives there but the Supreme
Court said he wrong and his ideas unconstitutional
Nevertheless tyrant Maan created higher authority
IN the legislative which he controlled and who ruled ne
correct
We wonder if Mr. Eisenhower can imagine what his
hundreds of thousands of Negro supporters think OF his
idea of proposing this enemy OF Democracy Tor ON mem
bershp-or does he care?

want, and will always fight for it.
But just the same, it calls. for
a constant .re-adjustment of the
reactions, the reflexes, and the
various. other mental processes.
When we have achieved something
like the indignation we want we.
have to train ourselves to forget
that we are Negroes. and go ahead
and act just like anybody else.
Sounds easy, but it isn't. When you
have: been a Negro for forty years
and you've got your ears all tuned
up for insults, you can pick 'em up
like radar, and sometimes you pick
up some that weren't intended for
you-sensitive, you know. When
you've gone along all your life feel
ing a distate for a certain term
that has meant degradation. to you,
you're ready to do battle when
you think someone has applied it
unnecessarily. to you, even though
the term may be in common usage.
All of these adjustments must be
made, and it calls for whole new
mental approach to the thing. I'm
working on it, personally, but it
comes hard. :
For instance, listening to one OF
the Brooklyn Dodgers-Milwaukee
Braves games last week, l got all
turned around in my loyalties. I'm
a Dodger fan, and that's that. But

The Braves Ed Matthews stepped
up to the plate and lifted high
fly ball to right field and Carl

to receive it. Bruton tagged up at
third to make his dash to the plate.
Now, the Dodgers were ahead

was an interesting set-up. Bruton.

was trying to beat throw from
right field at the hands of Carl
Furrillo who has the strongest arm
in the league. l was pulling for
Bruton. His team was losing, but Il
wanted. him to look good losing. A
thing like that couldn't end up in
tie, and | was hoping Bruton
would just make it.
Then suddenly, II got all turned
around again, because there, just
a foot or two on the third base side
of home plate, stood Roy Campan-
ella waiting for Furillo's throw to
tag Bruton. Well, 1 don't want Roy
to look bad, either, and he would
look worse dropping a fly or miss
ing tag than Bruton would look
being tagged, SO l; switched again.
Roy won that round, and / was
glad when it was over. The strain
was terrific.
This thing taught me a lesson.

End 10 Censorship
Raises Cuban Puzzle
BY the Associoted Press

HAVANA, Cuba. Oct. "a
Censorship was lifted in Cuba
today, and some personal rights
were restored. But the citizens
were not sure where they stood
because the tough claw of public
order" was still on the books.
The restrictions were imposed
after an abortive attempt July
26 by a group of Cubans to
seize two army garrisons.
The public order law provides
fines, prison sentences, and the
closing of businesses for those
guilty of damaging the dignity
of the Nation" harming it's
economy, or expressing disre-
spect for the government, its
officials, or organs.
Some newsmen and broad
casters said privately that if this
law is enforced unreasonably, it
could be more serious than
censorship. One aspect en-
couraging to newsgatherers is
the fact that the law would be
enforced by the urgency courts,
which in the past have not
hesitated to rule against the
government of President Fulgen-
clio Batista, it's civil. or military
police.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Oct. "a
Twenty-Five of some 200 big game
hunters trapped since Thursday
in Wyoming's snow-shrouded
Big Horn Mountains were
brought to safety today. Rescuers
worked rapidly to take advan-
tage of clear skies as reports of
threatening weather posed new
danger to the stranded nimrodS.
The condition of the hunters,
including a 74-year-old woman.
was described as good by Capt.
Mark D. Robertson, whose Ma
tional Guardsmen made the
rescue.
He said the group had only
enough food for one more day.
The hunters were camping in the
vicinity of Wagon Box Canon,
about so miles northeast of
Lowell. They told Capt. Robert
son the high winds and drifting
snow blocked their escape from
the mountain wilderness.
Capt. Robertson said his guard
unit will continue the search for
hunting parties still stranded on

hunters and drop messages to

Lincoln Letter Shows
Congressional Hopes
By The Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. "a
"A Lincoln letter just acquired
by Brown University and hither-
to unknown to collectors shows
the Civil War President as an
ambitious young politician, per-
forming party chores in hope of
running for Office.
The brief note was written in
February, 1843. Lincoln was
apparently bitten with Congress
sional ambitions. But there
were rivals spreading rumors
around Springfield, Ill, that he
wasn't interested.
Lincoln's collected writings in
clude a letter he wrote on Feb
ruary IA, 1843. saying: Now
if you should hear any one say
that Lincoln don't want to go
to Congress, I wish you, as a
personal friend of mine, would
tell him you have reason to
believe he is mistaken"
The Brown University letter,
written two weeks later to a
second friend, says:
"The rumor is still around that
I do not want to go to Con-
gress. When it comes your way
please give it contradiction, as
1 never was more anxious to GO
to Congress than now"
The exigencies of politics in
tervened, however. A deal was
made among the rivals and LIN
coin agreed to wait. Five years
later he took his seat in Con-
greSS.
