Communist Tactics
Revealed By Survey
CONTINUED on page A.

tContinued on page ~
planning to snare the American
Negro into joining Red groups,
the study finds that the Commun-
list emphasis has always been on
various Negro rights" The latest
effort of the Communists in or
ganizing the National Negro
Labor Council, Is found to center
around white collar jobs for Me-
groes." Negroes are pushed out on
picket lines to demand" better
Jobs. The fact that no one tblack
or whitel ever gets better" or
white collar" jobs in this fash
ion. is said by the study to be
carefully hidden from the inno-
cent Negroes.
The various shifts of the Com
mmist Party line in regard TO the
American Negro, are character
lied in the study by Ralph
Bunche:
These (programsl, like that
of the Communist Party. must
reflect the national interest Of
Soviet Union, and are thus sub
iect to the many vararies typi-
cal Of the American Communist
Party. It's interest In the Ne
gro Is purely a tactical one, die
tated by political expediency.'
Despite the energy expended by
the Communist Party in seeking
mislead American Negroes into
Joining left-wing outfits and to
picket for various left-wing causes
Negro membership in Communist
organizations is said to be a few
thousand at the most, which is a
mere handful compared to the
Negro population in this country.
The reason cited for the Commun-
lst failure is succinctly summarize
ed by George $. Schuyler in the
study:
Actually. the progressive inn
proyement Of interracial rela-
lions In the United States Is the
most flattering of the many eN-
ampies Of the superiority Of the
free American civilization over
the soul shaclSllng reactionism
of totaiitarian regimes -. The
most exploited Negroes In
Mississippi are better off than
the citizens OF Russia or her
satellites"
While today, Communist in
fluence in Negro circles seems TO
be down to minimum. the Uni
versity Research study still finds
IL present In the National Negro
Labor Councils efforts to stir up
racial strife by urging Negroes to
picket for skilled jobs" or
white collar jobs.
1T is interesting to notice con-
ciudes the study, that most OF
these piekets never held a white
collar job in their lives. nor dc
they have the proper training. on
the other hand, thousands OF Ne
groes have won white collar jobs
sales Jobs and executive Jobs, by
applying themselves to their work
as everybody else must do, and
then getting ahead.

Charge Lafayette
Man With Illegal
Transport Of Hogs

Hearing of William Contris, Jr.,
Lafayette, accused on federal
charge of transporting hogs from
Illinois to Michigan in alleged vio-
lation of Z. S. quarantine regulations
was delayed last week by U. S. COM
missioner Quentin NJ. Derryberry.
Contris was taken into custody
last Thursday by deputy sheriffs on
warrant issued by the East st.
Louis, Illinois, U. S. District attorney
which charged the hogs were shipped
under conditions other than those
prescribed by the secretary of agri-
culture" Contris posted $1,000 pro-
perty bond with Derryberry and was
released.
According to Derryberry the hear
ing, to determine whether Contris
would be sent to Illinois for possible
federal trial, was delayed so that he
might obtain more specific details
from Illinois officials before reach
ing a decision.
