State Department
Operates Like Man
With New Brain
Frustrution Remains,
But Jobs Get Done,
Veteran Worker Says
By Gornett D. Homer

What's the State Department
like in the first 10 days under the
new Republican administration?
One veteran worker says it's
something like a man who has
acquired a new brain by sur
gerry. The nerves connecting
that brain to the functioning
parts of his body aren't working
properly. His arms and legs
continue to do their necessary
work out of habit. But they
move in an uncertain. halting
way. And it'll take a while for
the nerve connections to build
up so as to provide smooth CO.

Taft Thinks President Fovors
Present Reorganization Act

Senate Majority Leader Taft

form, which requires a constitu-

Of Congress to veto a presidential

NEW YORK - (GlobaD - It's
hard to believe that less than ten
years ago there were no Negroes
playing baseball in the Major
Leagues. 1t seems even more un-
believable that it took some kind of
pioneering on the part of Branch
Hickey to get Negro on the
Brooklyn Dodgers team.
Looking back over the years and
thinking of all the arguments peo-
pie used to use in opposing the in
tegration of Negroes into organ
lied baseball, you can realize just
how silly some of the excuses
were
They said Negroes and whites
just couldn't live as close together
as these teams have to do when
travelling throughout the country.
1t just wouldn't work, they said.
All the teams that have acquired
Negro players have successfully
answered that one.
Then, they used to say that the
sight of Negroes and whites play
ing opposite each other might
cause incidents on the playing field.
Tempers were bound to flare up
in the tight spots. they argued,
and controversy between a Ne
gro and white player or Negro
and an umpire would wind up dis
astrously. And anyway, Negroes
just couldn't play bigtime baseball.
Well, Jackie Robinson sweated
out one full year to prove these
last two reasons false. He kept
his mouth shut and burned up the
National League with his hitting,
running and fielding. And when
he showed he was a champ all the
way, they were willing to concede
that he had a right to beef on a
call once in a while, or to set a
player straight if he felt he was
using foul tactics.
The way these Negro players

have been sparkling the teams they
play with, you might wonder how
they ever got along without them
Monte Irwin is certainly one of the
big guns on the Ginats team, with
Hank Thompson getting in his
share of ticks. And they say Lee
Durocher cried real tears when
they took Willie Mays into the
Army. Incidentally, Willie was the
baby of the team and all of the
fellows sort Of took him under their
wing. His teammates felt real af-
lection for him as a person, aside
from his promise as a player.
Larry Dolby comes through reg
ularly for the Indians, and old
Satch Paige is still called upon to
put out the fire, despite his years
of performance at the gruelling
business of playing ball under all
sorts of conditions. Little Junior
Gillian comes up from the Minors
and in his own quiet, unassuming
way, takes over at second base
for the Dodgers and shows that
he belongs. And as for Roy Camp
amelia, he has been dubbed "The
Menace" this year, but always has
been received as the best "receiv-
err" in baseball. That fellow Joe
Black hasn't done too badly either.
And, of course, there are many
others-come to think of it only
one has been a complete disap-
pointment, and that was Dan
Bankhead who came up to the
Dodgers back in 1947.
All of this is a good answer to
anybody who claims that integra-
ton in other fields just won't work
because people just won't stand
for it, and besides Negroes just
eren't ready" Tell that one to
organized baseball and get a GUT
faw,
We hear that Carmen Mauro
who was traded by the Dodgers to
the Senators, has been sent back
to the Minors by Washington
This brings us to wonder why il
is that most Negro players seem
to be sent back to the Minors rath-
er than traded. We have seer
where number of players have
been put for several years, but
they don't seem to be picked up by
other teams. Wonder why. This
should make an interesting sub
iect for some research.
