Troop Clashes Rare
Clashes between army patrols
and armed bands of guerrillas
are relatively rare. Most of the
rebel violence takes the form of
isolated assassinations, the burn
ing Of crops, farm houses and
barns, the cutting of telephone
lines and the obstruction of vine
yards and orchards.
The rebels equip their army

American arms found on World
War II battlef1elds in Algeria
and Tunisia. The French say the
insurgents also get weapons
smuggled from Libya across Tu-
nisia into Algeria.
For the French there is no
question of home rule for Algeria
such as recently granted neigh
boring Tunisia. Algeria, although
across the Mediterranean from
the home country, is considered
a part Of France itself

Editorial
THE MECHANICS or HOPE

AA1
EASTERTIDE is the season Of HOPE. Without HOPE
life would be meaningless, the future a barren waste reach
ing out into nothingness. Incredible, there are souls who have
had to live without it. The coored man in the South has had
little or nothing to I brighten his future. HOPE has been al
most a total stranger to him until not too long ago, when
forces, beginning to operate in his favor, gave him a new
lease and EASTER and life itself took on new meaning.
BEINGS inStinctively shun danger, pain and
mhappiness. When opportunity, in the form OF migration,
knocked, the southern Negro was ready, willing and eager
to abandon his Southland of sorrow tears and shame. The
mass exodus got under way during World War Il, and since
that time Negro populations in northern cities have increased
tremendously. In 1910 New Haven, a typical New England
college and industrial town, had a population of 100000
5000 Of whom were Negroes. The war came and employ
ment zoomed. Industry sent personnel managers into the
deep South for laborers to work in the factories. Migrants
came to this quiet New England community by the hundreds,
HOPE burning in their hearts and shining in their eyes, and
the Negro population jumped to almost ten thousand.
WHEN THE WAR ended Mr.. Migrant did not return
to his Southland. New Haven was a Utopia compared to
down home He stayed on sending for relatives and friends.
He had graduated from the laboring class and was holding
better Jobs involving hard work, some skill and big money.
Thrifty and hard working they bought houses, filled them
with roomers until the place was paid for. The roomers re-
present an element THAT preferred 70 puy expensive caIS u
stead Of homes. Today it is common to see them cruising
about town in Cadillacs, Lncons and Bucks, no less One

the automobile has succeeded in giving these people assur-
ance, courage and self-esteem as well as HOPE. IT may be
wrong TO rthem to spend their money on expensive cars in
stead of homes, but if doing it ministers to some deep need,
it is a balm to the soul agony that has been their heritage,
if it is an instrument Of emancipation to their imprisoned
egos, then, let EN- buy cars. Apparently it is paying off in
the long run and making these displaced Negroes worth

Federation Modifies

The federation also adopted
a resolution denouncIng
"coarseness. irreverence and
emphasis on immortality ard
morbid thought in many books
sold in America" which 1t sug-
gests may have a dangerous
influence on morally unbal-
anced readers" and may in
lure American moral prestige
when sold in foreign countries"
The resolution called on
members to protest such
books "to publishers, authors,
book clubs and book sellers"
Such books. particularly
those in cheap editions with
lurid cover pictures and titles
may have as bad an effect
on both teen-agers and adults
as Objectionable comics have
on children" the resolution
stated.
1t concluded with a recon-
mendation that such books be
included in the General
Federation of Women's Clubs
campaign against objection
able comics, or that a similar
campaign be launched against
them.
Immoral Plays Decried
A similar resolution
denounced "the profanity.
coarseness in language and
jokes, and morbid, irreverent
and immoral emphasis in
number of plays" which it
said tend to spoil the Ameri-

lovers, to lower the moral
standards and taste of many

BY ISABELLE SHELTON

The District Federation Of
Women's Clubs voted yester-
day to support the Broyhill
resolution now before Con-
gress. which provides for a
constitutional amendment to
allow District residents to vote
for President and Vice Presi-
dent.
The federation action. which
was in the form of a petition
to Congress, represented a
slight shift in the groups his
toric 27-year position on Dis
trict voting, according to Mrs.
Harvey w: Wiley. who intro
duced it.
In the past, Mrs. Wiley said,
the organization has always
coupled, its support of presi-
dentiai and vice presidential
voting with a provision that
District residents also be
given representation in Con-
gresS.
The women's group still ia
vors the latter provision, the
resolution makes clear, but it
recognizes that "in spite OF
constant pleas we have gotten
nowhere" in 81 years.
"Half a Loaf"
Since at is seemingly i'm
possible at this time to secure
the whole loaf which we seek,
rather than starve any longer
we now petition for a half
loaf. ere we lose all our cour-
age and stamina" it adds.
Mrs. Wiley, who is chairman
of national representation for
the District federation, said
copies of the federation petit
tion would be sent to each
member of Congress.

Let's try this cat exercise.
Haven't you seen a cat put

thus causing a stretching and

Why Grow oId7

The stretch Is most import
ant. There are many kinds Of
stretches. The elasticity of a
girdle. how far you can make
your money 60, how patient
you or others can be, how far
you can see over the mountain,
the pliability Of your nature.
or how far you can push your
luck or your suspenders.
OF course cats are probably
the greatest experts of all in
the art of stretching. These
animals seem to have special
talents in the art Of living.
They seem keenly aware of the
need for activity and then
complete relaxation. It's a
shame that we are not as
smart. We just tumble our
lives all up, or allow them to
become so, with too much
tenseness. no periods of real
