A Tennessee Black Woman
Points The Woy
(From The Black Dispatch)

Orchids to Mrs Esther C. Weaver, courageous little
Tennessee woman who last week had the intestinal for
tude to battle against bus Jim in Oklahoma Some
thing few Negroes inclined to do in this state
We are sure most of our readers read the story
last week that told of the brave little black woman VINO
riding interstate passenger refused TO give up er

trcked off the bus by the bus driver who finally took her
Mrs Weaver followed her luggage. That spunky little

Texas and Oklahoma City.
But the thing Mrs. Weaver did which is important,
and which wish to point out ls she kept the seat IN
which she was riding That is the important issue in all
yptures respecting bus riding Too many Negros assume
when the bus driver the conductor on train raises MS

Ludwig: I don't know nothing
about the shooting. Schmidt is your
man. I can prove 1 wasn't there
at the time.
Now, since you know that one
statement by each man is false,
can you put your finger on the
man who did the actual killing?
SOLUTION
The killer is Schmidt. Since
the first two statements by
Bradley cannot both be false,
then his third statement is false,
which makes both Bradley and
Herman innocent. Digesting Her.
mann's statements, we find his
second and third statements are
true, and therefore his first
statement is false. Therefore, we
know that Riley is innocent and
that Schmidt is the killer.
Schmidt's only false statement is,

NEW YORK (GlObaD OF
the classic cliches in the English
language is that choice little tear
jerker that goes, Lets give him
his flowers while he can still smell
Them"
Now, these words are always ut
tered in an attitude of sweetness
and light and everybody who says
them at one time or another really
means them. 1t is true, that people
who deserve praise should get it,
and it should not be given grudg-
ingly.
However, the failure to give
praise where it is due does not
necessarily show a lack of appre-
citation for the person who has
turned in a sterling performance.
Withholding praise is, many times,
sort of left-handed compliment,
for it recognizes the performer as
threat to his contemporaries
threat in that he represents COM
petition.
| This has come to mind during
the past week since the death of
the distinguished Senator from
Ohio, Robert A. Taft. If one were
to believe the comments from his
deposition during his lifetime =
comments on his abilities, his ca
reer, his motives, his beliefs, and
hs tactics, one might have thought
that here was the most vicious, the
most underhanded, the most un-
yielding and tyranical despot ever
to have a seat in the highest legis-
lative body in the land.
Or, one might have thought that
Taft was the enemy of all of the
American people; that he had only
his own selfish ends in view and
that he would have, had he had the
chance, ruled the country without
any regard whatsoever for the well
fare of the common man." He re-
presented the "vested interests"
they said, (whatever vested inter-
ests" are) and he was too danger
Gus a man to entrust with great
power.
And then, the good Senator, aft
er a brief illness, departed this life,
and only now does one hear that
he was a fine American gentleman.
The surprising thing is that some
of the people who fought him most
fiercely have gone up with the
most glowing eulogies. Stories and
anecdotes are going the rounds,
all of which pay tribute to Sena-
tor Taft's sincerity and integrity,
his devotion to his country, and his
brilliance of mind. Whatever his
beliefs, they say, at least he was
loyal American.
Why, then, was there such feel
ing stirred up against him? Per-
haps most of the feeling was
stirred up by. left-wingers who saw
in the Senator stumbling block
in the way of their nefarious plans.
We know now that what most of
them stood for was an actual un-
dermining of the American system
of government. Like him or not,
Taft was American to the core,
and he was too smart to let them
"use" him even when they pre-
tended to make their pleas in be-
half of the masses.
And so, to them he meant compe-
tition. He was among those who
stood in the way of their gaining
too firm foothold. He was
branded as reactionary, and the
term became an epithet which was
used effectively in some quarters,

Getting
Along
BY LAUREEN WHITE

strikes against him, he would be
seriously handicapped. He would
have to be more alert, have strong
player than those allowed three
full swings.
However, if all the teams were
playing sloppy baseball, those al
lowed only one strike might do
about as we'll as those allowed
three On the other hand, those all
lowed only one strike would find
it much harder to get hits if the
teams started playing better ball.
In the economic game of life,
Negroes are allowed only one
strike. We apply to the batter's box
of American industry with two
strikes against us and the umpires
seldom give us any breaks. We are
always the last hired and the first
fired. And while on the job, our
paths are likely to be rougher
than the paths of other workers.
During the last twenty years,
unusual circumstances have aided
those of us with two strikes against
us. The liberal policies of the ad-
ministration in power and the
emergencies of war have encour-
aged some organizations to use
some sloppy business methods.
They have permitted poor workers
to remain on their pay rolls be-
cause they couldn't do any better.
They have also given Negroes more
than their customary one strike at
the ball.
AS business conditions change,
competition will be keener and
business will be more discriminat-
ing with it's employees. The poor
worker will be left out and the
worker that has always had two
strikes against him will be in pre-
carious position. D..
There are some signs on the eco
nomic horizon that point to BUSH
ness let down. Automobile dealers
and distributors are complaining
that they can't sell cars. The auto
mobile business has passed it's peak.
The market is either saturated or
the people have no money.
Other business will be effected
by the slow down in the automobile
industry. The most casual observer
knows that the steel industry will
be hurt if automobiles aren't sell-
ing. All wise individuals are plan.
ming for the day when competition
will be keener and more ingenuity
will have to be used in getting
along. =
There are blue prints of many
plans in Washington, DC that can
be used by our officials that should
prevent a serious depression. How
ever, these plans are untried and
often what appears workable on
paper will not work out in fact.
Even if the plans are workable,
we have little reason to believe the
plans include integrating Negroes
into American industry. If we are
to judge the future by the past, we
can conclude the plans now in
existence intend to keep Negroes
as menials. In the past, everything
seems to have been geared up to
perpetuate this state of affairs.
I firmly believe that when indus-
try slows down and there are no
longer jobs for all, the man with
two strikes against him will get
very little help unless he is a
menial. If Negroes rise above the
status of menials, they must re-
main conscious of the fact that two
strikes are against them. And, re.
member, too, that umpries of in-
dustry will show no sympathy.
To keep the gains that have
been made and to keep the path
open for other possible gains, we
have to be the most alert, have
the strongest nerves, and be the
most effective workers.
