Discrimination Bad Practice No Matter
Who Is Victim
BY lauren White

1t is interesting to note the types of dis
elimination that exist in the world today.
Most of us are familiar with the dscrmina-
ton based on race, color and religion. We re-
alze how this type of nonsense interferes with
the peace and progress of the world. We know
that race or color discrimination is so embed
ded in our thinking that we try to determine
what is good or bad, superior or inferior,
worthwhile or worthless by race and color.
We have been conditioned to this type of
thinking so long that it could be disastrous.
In an emergency Negro who can pilot an
airplane as well as Jackie Robinson can play
baseball would be rejected in favor of a white
pilot who was an amateur. Conditioning pre-
vents many from making accurate decisions
in matters of this kind.
Most of us are familiar with discrimna-
ton based on poverty. The poor are discrim-
mated against in many ways. 1t is common
knowledge that we trust the judgment homes
ty, and integrity of the wealthy more than we
trust these qualities in the poor There is I'M
fair discrimination against the poor.
The latest type of unfair discrimination
that has captured the attention of the public
has been discrimination against the rich In
many ways, this is entirely new. Take the
case of Charles E. Wilson of General Motors
Mr. Wilson is now our Secretary of Defense
His experience will help him to serve our
country well in that capacity. We can use his
brains and knoW-how to unravel some of the
intricacies of our defense problems. President
Eisenhower wants Mr.. Wilson'S services. He
feels that the nation needs them
Arkansas State press., 1953-02-27

1t was unfair to Mr. Wilson, Presdst
Eisenhower and the people of this country d
force Mr.. Wilson to sell his stock in Gener
Motors before he could assume his duties d.
Secretary of Defense. realize that there MIR
be some favoritism in awarding the contracz
However, getting Mr.. Wilson to sell his stoG
will not alter his inclinations.
If we are to have first rate minds 4
key positions in government We can't afford
to underpay them and penalize them furhg
if they are rich. Why penalize man for hal
ing what we would all have if we could?
In the case of Mr.. Wilson, no great ha.|
ship was imposed upon him or his compan
The S2,500,000 in stock that he had was atl
His income hasn't been greatly reduced anl
General Motors hasn't been affected in u
least. But, take the case of Robert Chapna
Sprague who had been selected by the prese
administration as Under Secretary of the A
Force
Mr. Sprague is the chief stakeholder |
Sprague Electric company of North Adan|
Mass. If he disposed of his stock, his fanlI
and the economy of the entire town mg|
suffer greatly. Therefore, Mr. Sprague cO1|
not accept post as Under Secretary of U
Air Force. Personally, 1 consider this una
The most capable person available for |
government position should be allowed to hay
that position. 1t is as unfair to discrmn
against the rich as it is to discriminate agan
the poor. Those of us who have suffered rod
from discrimination should be the first to
pose it whenever and wherever we see ii,

A short time ago, Dr. Charles S. Johnson
of Fisk university delivered an address before
some 200 workers in the Harlem branch
YMCA's financial campaign In his speech, DR..
Johnson drew an interesting contrast between
the philosophy of the whole American com
munity and that of the American Negro
Placing his reliance on cooperation and
peaceful negotiation he said, "tha Negro
lacks the aggressiveness and skepticlsm that
are characteristic of America, In the eyes of
Europeans and Asians Americans are ingen-
ious, inventive, and experimental, but history
has shown that this is only slightly cblique
quality in the Negro and because his rewards
historically have been restricted, most times
artitcially, he is inclined to put less stress on
the experimental. America is politically and
culturally conservative and is dominated By the

FBI Should Be Independent

I've read and re-read Senator Nc
Carthy'S Can the FBI Do the Job
Alone?" If he has justified congress
sional investigation committees by this
amazing pile of "phoof," then am the
man in the moon, and the moon is
made of green cheese.
All that the junior from Wisconsin
has established is that some Govern
ment bureaucratS are "bureaucrats," 3"
pig-headed, willful.
In each instance cited by the Sena-
tor, the FBI had done it's usual brilliant
job of investigation, and had made its
report to the agencies heads These
"knuckle- heads" promptly ignored and
suppressed the facts.
All that congressional investigation
does is publicize this suppression. I do
not understand why the FBI does not
have the authority to make it's findings
public. That would do the trick, and
permit Senators and congressman to
get down to concentrating on legislative
problems, which are being neglected.
It always has been my feeling that
the FBI should be independent of all
other branches of the Government, Ex-
ecutive, Legislative and Judicial, and
publish all reports on criminal or sub
versive findings. That would put some
sense in the blreaucrats.
