continued. Unemployment is in
creasing. Rents are getting higher.
Money is getting tighter and sal
aries are going down.
When conditions are like they
are today. you don't have to ex-
plain anything to Negroes. They
are the best politicians in the
world. You cant fool them by mis-
leading statements either.
They need not talk about pros
perity when Negroes know they
are losing jobs. The Republicans
need not try to take great credit
for the Supreme Court school de-
cision.
Negroes know these cases
started back under the Truman
administration. They know that
the bulk OF the liberal justices who
rendered that decision were select
ed by Democratic presidents.
Ask your Negro in the street.
He knows that President Eisen-
hover has said publicly that he Is
not in favor OF FEPC-not IL il
has any teeth in 1t.
HE is apt to know that inte-
grafton in the army in Europe did
not happen while Eisenhower was
In command there and that he said
before a congressional committee
that the time was not yet ripe.
President Else hover has
made a number Of fine appoint
ments. All credit to him for them,
but appointments for top bracket
people are not all the common
voters want. They want Jobs. the
opportunity of working and the
Punishment Of bias in the chance
TO work.
Republican claims sound good
but Negro voters have good sense.
They are the best politicians in the
world"
So sure is Dawson OF reelection
that he is spending but little time
in his own district. He is booked TO
speak in various cities throughout
the country. For the first time he
said. three different southern con.
gressmen have asked him to come

THE CHANCES are today
Il that the collegiate or
professional footballer is safer
playing 60 minutes Of football
than you are while driving to
and from the game.
This eyebrow-raising opin-
ion comes from no less an
authority than Alfred (Duke)
Wyre, head trainer for the
University of Maryland, whose
footballers were leaders in the
Nation last year. The reasons
for this safety, says Wyre, are
the top physical condition of
the players, their protective
equipment, which is the best
money can buy, and the su-
pervision of qualified experts,
officials, coaches and trainers,
backed by the univerSity'S
medical staff.
Last year, Duke points out,
not one member of the Mary

any game due to injury. This
