Mcnamara Act
Detroit Timss)
By LEON RACHT


By LEON RACHT
Those Americans VIII o
were outraged over finding
the signature of US. Senator
Pat Mcnamara on the SUI
preme court brief filed on
behalf of the Communist
party will find no solace in
a further clarihcation of the
Michigan Democrats stand.
1t was with some incred-
ulity that we read McNa-
mara's subsequent explana-
ton which went like this:
while | abhor the Com
munist party, was happy on
this occasion to join with a
group of public-spirited citi-
zens who, while they made
no defense of the Communist
party, are deeply concerned
about the liberties of the
American people"
This, we concluded, was a
man blissfully unaware of
who the "public-spirited"
citizens were, or a man care
less of his affiliations or, per-
haps, just politician conned
into signing something he
knew nothing about.
PARTY MEMBERS
McNamara's explanation
of his signature preceded ex-
posure of the identities of
the $50 names on the
Friends of the Court" brief
filed as an assist TO the Com
munists who are demanding
that the high court declare
the Internal Security Act Of
1850 unconstitutional.
Seven signers were later
identified as Community par
ty members.
A heavy preponderance of
the remainder have long been
docketed as veteran Com
munist-fronter
With this view that, in this
knowledge, Mcnamara might
want to withdraw his sup
port from the petition sup
porting the Communists, we
telephoned him at his De-
troit office.
After Mcnamara conced-
ed making the "public-spir.
tied citizen" statement, the
following colloquy ensued:
Racht:
snow, Senator, knowing
the true nature of this brief
do you want to repudiate
your signature?
McNamara:
"No."

THE RELIGIOUS BOOM

In your editorial of Octo-
Der l., THE American Re-
ligious Boom" the question
is brought up, Can we ac-
cept the crowded churches
and the religious best sellers
and me prayer breakfasts in
Washington as evidence that
Americans are genuinely,
humbly turning to God to
learn and do His will, /.
lori are people turning
to religion for the wrong
reasons, trying to use God
forftheir own purposes rath-
err than to serve and find His
purposes"
Are there any wrong rea-
sons for turning to religion?
Many an individual who now
has a truly altruistic faith
in God originally turned to
religion because he wanted
security. In fact, it is my

neckS mean partnership and fell
lowShip; arms around neckS mean
common cause and common des-
tiny; arms around necks mean
brotherhood and brotherhood
means indignation, not only of
bodies but also of spirits. Supreme
court decisions are means and
arms around neckS are the end!
The writer would not if he could
and could not if he would mini
mize Supreme court decisions, but
it is well for us to know they are
not the decisive things. Character
and performance are decisive. The
millions of unknown Negroes in
the hinterland as well as Negroes
in the forefront of this fight for
freedom, who are currently max
ing good at their humble tasks,
are in part the explanation of the
Supreme court decision. In other
words the Negroes who PERFORM
ed, helped to make possible these
favorable decisions even as it is
going to take performance to i'm
plement the decision.
The old Negro ex-slave who
bought his former masters plan
tation and gave shelter to his for
mer master in his declining years
was a part of the picture no less
than our current champions who
are the salt of the earth and with
out whom the Negro race could
not carry on. The object of this
writing is to somehow suggest
the possibilities of distributive
responsibility in the implementa-
tons of the Supreme court deci-
sion. There are other decisions
like that OF Sam Jones, who got
white arms around his neck. Still
other decisions.

Between The Lines
STILL OTHER
DECISIONS

Sam Jones is currently a pit
cher for the Chicago Cubs of the
National League, and recently
threw a no-hitter at the Pitts
bungh Pirates. The press of the
nation which usually seems to be
favorably Inclined toward Ne
gro athletes, gave great publicity
to this feat, and carried pictures
of Sam Jones with his manager
and team mates, with their arms
about his neck. White arms arund
Negro neck! That was indignation
at its best.
N-ohit games are extraordinary
occurrences on the baseball
diamonds and the pitchers who
hurl them are regarded as great.
Don NewcOnbe has just pitched
a one-hitter an is currently bask-
ing in the spotlight of some
mighty fine publicity for having
pitched one of the finest games
in history, having faced only ~
men of the opposition.
Most of the pitching mentioned
was Taine+ White hstters and the
fact that they could not solve the
offerings OF Jones and NeWcombe
stabs to the heart theories of
white superiority. II takes a lot of
pitching to pitch no-hit game
and it takes a lot of character. A
man must have great head, a
great heart and a skilled hand to
throw no-hitter. (
Theories of race superiority can
no more stand against such char
acter than frost before the rising
sun. Nor can race prejudice stand
before character! sRace prejudice
can stand Up under Emancipation
Proclamation and under Supreme
court decisions; but prejudice willis
before character, its bitterest and
most ready enemy. Race prejud-
ice is a dangerous and perinciouS
ailment that only character can
cure. Character is the balm in
Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.
Last week Negroes throughout
the nation and world took note OF
the Supreme court decision hand
ed down a year ago. Many things
have happened since the decision
to facilitate Indignation; but many
others have happened to streng-
then segregation. Two mighty
movements are i'm the making and
no intelligent observer would be
wise to minimize the difficulties
on the road ahead. But the forces
for Negro liberation have declar-
ed like Jephthah of old 81 have
opened my mouth to the Lord and
cannot go back
1T must be remembered that
such r1aoral achievements as the
Supreme court decisions do not
relieve responsibility but increase
it; and, herein must the Negro be
cautioned. Decisions without the
stuff that Sam Jones carried into
that no-hit game are meaningless.
A thousand court decisions cam
not get white arms around Negro
neclkS, but "a no-hitter can. The
world loves performers and it is
performance that gets whose arms
around whose neckS.
And let us not deceive ourselves
into thinking that arms around
necaSs mean nothing. Arm around
necks comradey; arms around
