VERY IMPORTANT VISIT

VERY IMPORTANT VISIT
SECRETARY OF Interior McKay's visit before
final word Of the new governor is most significant indeed.
This is an excellent thing to do. OF all that can be said and
done, there is nothing quite like seeing the situation as it is,
on thelspot.
THE NEW SECRETARY will have an opportunity to
tour the three principal Virgins. He will meet the legislature
look at the budget, see the government as it functions from
day to day, and talk with officials. He will travel on the roads,
look at the Virgin Islands Corporation central plant and pro-
perties, and take in points of historical interest, such as Salt
River where Columbus landed on his second voyage to the
new world. And the chances are that the new Secretary, a
lover Of horseback riding, will take in some of the delightful,
quaint trails Of which there are SO many throughout the
Islands.
u ABOVE ALL Secretary Mckay will be seeing-and
learning-the people. He will note the freedom OF movement
and action, and the fact that there is no restraining reminder
that democracy may suffer from two standards. Coming face
to face with a situation which really requires no special at
tention to such veing questions as civil rights, the Interior
Secretary will no doubt get a clearer and better picture OF the
type Of man who should lead the Virgin Islands.
OUR PEOPLE ARE not at all unaware of the Importance
of this visit. And it will be brought out in sharper relief later
on. AS the new governor makes trips to Washington, as ne
must, from time to time, there will be no second hand deal
ings. Secretary Mckay will know what the governor is talking
about. And it is almost certain that the Chief OF the Division
Of Territories will follow shortly, as will other officials.
IT'S HOPED that these visits will be frequent and long;
that those in responsible positions in the Interior Department
will become more and more intimate with the Islands, our
people and our problems. With flying time but live or SIX
hours from Washington, and these trips scheduled several
times a day, the problem Of contact should practically De
nonexistent. And this is what we hope and look for.
WE lave ALREADY welcomed Secretary Of Interior
Mckay and Mrs. Mckay. Their visit is important to us, and

NEW YORK. (GlobaD-There is
so much controversy at the pres
ent time about the various Halls
of Fame, l thought it might be a
good idea to explain why found
ed the Negro Athlete Hall of Fame.
= In the past two years there have
been no elections to the Football
Hall of Fame. They can make the
Sullivan Awards, Helms Awards
and others, but there is always 60
ing to be a controversy about who
should have been awarded, who
should have been elected, and who
should not have been elected.
For some reason people are in
clined to believe that the newly
organized Negro Athlete Hall OF
Fame" is a segregated institution.
It is not. Perhaps a little under
standing of my background will
explain my reasons for wanting TO
establish such an institution.
I knew nothing about segrega-
tion until after 1 had entered col
lege. 1 was born in IAN all-White
community-attended grade school
and high school with my brothers
and sisters, and we were the only
coIored students who attended.

NV father was a barber and my
mother was a seamstress. We be-
came an integral part Of the COM
munity. The question of segrega-
ton was never allowed to enter
our minds. We attended the
churches in the community; we
engaged in all athletic activities
in the community and were a part
of the social life of the cOmmu-
nifty.
Whenever we were not invited
to a party or social gathering, we
never took it upon ourselves to
think that an invitation was not
extended to us because of our color
we merely felt that these par
ticular people did not want us.
l grew up with this philosophy
until, after my collegiatee days, I
went to a hotel with a professional
football team. They told me the
last room was gone. Instead OF
feeling humiliated, my attitude was
that "I was too good for the
hotel" If 1 went into a restaurant
and they appeared not to want to
serve me, my attitude was the
same.
When I went to the coal region

It appears that the majority of
our complaints have come from
people who themselves have at

have become doctors, and have
been forced to go to Negro hos

peple, of course, are sensitive and
react unfavorably to any project
or organization that is labeled Ne
gro. 1 : hope they will remember
that our designating Negro Hall Of
Fame has been done with the de-
sire to eXtol those Negroes who
have achieved, and all others who
have helped to make it possible, SO
that future generations may be
aware of the fine work of our Me-
gro athletes.

| With these things in mind and
with the experiences I had I felt
it necessary to establish such an

CARRIERS COLUMN
By w. Horace Carter

There is no way of denying that,
we are mighty proud of having
won the Pulitzer Prize. particular
/ ~ proud that we are the first and
only weekly newspaper in the
United States that has received
such distinction. Actually. after
winning such a coveted award. il
is mighty hard not to have to beat
a fast path to the clothing stores
and buy larger hat but we are
eXerting lot of effort to keep our
PHYSICAL characteristics unchang-
ed.
Perhaps one of the most inter-
ested phases of having received
this honor is the tremendous in
flux of mail from all over the ma
ton. Of course, the vast majority
OF this mail has been congratula-
tory messages from old friends
that we haven't heard from in
years or else newspaper people
throughout the country who rea-
lie the real importance of the
award.
But some of the messages have
been absolutely unique. One for
instance was from a man in Rich
mond, Va. who thought perhaps
we might be able to suggest some
local woman that would be inter-
esting in marrying him. Now that
is a little out Of our line and all
though we have answered each
letter and telegram personally. we
nave yet to get in tough with the
gentlemen because at the moment
we have no prospect for him.
However. If there's some local
woman that in interested in the
letter, we will be most happy TO
bring about the reunion.
Another letter, four typewriter
pages long. was from girl in
Worcester. Mass. This young
lady went into great detail about
her parents whom she says an
uncle is prosecuting. She says that
her father really has considerable
money but that an uncle who has
grudge against him has been
sending him off 10 mental asylums
regularly and causing great deal
OF inconvenience for her and the
family in dorchester. Just what
we were supposed to do about
situation like this is little beyond
our conception.
But perhaps the best thing we
have heard from anywhere was a
tale our own Mayor w. A. Will
liarns told jokingly the other day.
He WAS talking 10 onn of -tha no.
