I wonder if the phrase, public
property is cverybod's yet it is
nopody's, won't describe most OF
the property winch is owned
by John Tax Payer. Everybody
Wants to use and abuse public
property, but no one wants to
defend it. A school building or
bus is one of the best places to
find abuse of public property.
Even under the careful eyes of
teachers, principals, and bus
drivers, the knife and pencil
still cut lasting memorials to
some glory starved psycho-cer-
annie (new word for crack pot)
Where does the inconsiderable
Rudent usually get the idea that
public property is created for
his abuse? Somewhere along the
lire he has been misinformed
Last Friday in a school meeting

principal and superintendent M
formed any of the misguided
about the schools property and
what would happen if violation
occurred. Let's all of us help
smarter up the ones that are
abusing Our property.
Let's turn from the picture of
destruction, which as its focal

Seldom are important deci-

The fall season is closing in
on us and with it the approaching
sessions of the two major politi-
cal conventions. San Francisco,
and Chicago will be the sites for
the Republican and Democratic
conventions respectively and ca
ger voters will make the trek to
these throbbing pulses of the
American nation. This election
year of 1856, the female popula-
ton will hold the balance of pow
er in deciding the final outcome,
and their interest goes more deep
ly than trying to decide whether
to decorate that new charm
bracelet with a donkey or an ele-
phant.
The Importance of the ballot
and the power it wields cannct
be too strongly emphasized. State
and national organizations will
beat the drums for. various candi-
dates and on the local level clubs,
organizations and interested in
dividuals will admonish the delin-
quent registrant. No privilege
is so precious as the right to
vote and thereby have voice in
what goes on in your nation and
community.
Especially important in this
election will be concessions made
to civil rights. The South is de-
determined to hinder the fast
express on which the civil rights
program is travelling due to the
1854 desegregation decision, and
the North is determined to give
at least some semblance Of con-
formity to our laws and statutes
calling for equal rights. What will
be the planks written into their
respective platforms by the Re |
publicans and the Democrats to
The Omaha guide., 1956-08-03

when the decision outlawing seq
regation in the public schools
should be carried out. Their po-
sition was that only Southern
Supreme Court-hater is qualified
to be a Federal judge in the
South.
AT any rate, this was the posi-
ton they stated publicly. The
inside story" is that the Dixie
Senators were merely putting a
nuisance fight for bargaining pur-
poses. Repeatedly deal was
made whereby the Southerners
consented not to filbuster against
Sobeloff's confirmation, in return
for a promise to pigeon hole
President Eisenhower's civil
rights bill when it should reach
the Senate.
Be that as it may, fhe confir-
nation Of SobeIoff was finally put
to vote and passed by margin
OF 81 to ~. And who voted :
ssinst it? Fifteen Southern DEM
ocrafs plus four Republicans. Il,
clUdins the Hon. William {. Jen-
ner of Indiana.
Senator Jenner was also report
ed as having engineered the
IDEAL" along with his buddy on
the Judiciary Committee, the Hon.
James o. Eastland of Mississippi.
This newspaper recently wired
Senator Jenner to learn whether
ne had been vacationing at Sena-
tor Eastland's Mississippi Delta
plantation, as alleged by a Chica-
60 newspaper. We received no |
reply.
We believe it is high time for
the people of Indiana to ask them
selves what Senator Jenner is up
to as he plays footsie with East
rrats. The Republicans of Indi-
land and votes with the Dixie
ana should know the voters will
not tolerate this state becoming |
a fifth column" of the South in
the North.

New York. (CNS). A GAO
MERGER WITH GALE AGENCY
MAY CORNER RACE TALENT.
To the folks in showbusiness moth
ing could be more closely watch
ed than the prosposed merger of
Gale Agency with General Artists
Corporation. These two booking
agencies are going at it very seri-
ously so that it's more than likely
to come off. Gale has a good
roster of race talent in Sarah
Vaughan, Teen Ayers, Illinois Jac-
quet band Savannah Churchill.
Erskine Hawkins, etc.
GAO already has Nat King Cole
but with Gale being merged, it
will have corner on Negro top
talent. How it will use it, remains
to be seen. But it will be in a
position to do some debating to
those that hire. We only hope
they will put it to good use and
wedge race talent even further
into the best bookings possible.
Louis Armstrong has been used
as a guinea pig. For a long time
those that get dates have been
trying to tell outdoor concerts to
use a little jazz to liven up the
box office and not just depend on
name classical artists. This year
they tried Louie at Lewisohn Sta
dium in New York with much
success. Last week it was the
Ravinia Music Festival where
Lewis crowd of 1885 surpassed
all the greats as Heifetz, Rubin
stein, etc. Now they want him
back and a new outlet has been
found for jazz artists. n,a

anime carefully and minutely
each detail of the proposed plat
form for all is not gold that gilt
ters.
Above all, do not underestimate
the power of the ballot. Voting
is not only duty and response
bility, but, as is SO oft stated, a
privilege. There are many who
shirk this obligation but have
complained because of the poll
tax which is levied in some South
ern states and which deprives
many Negroes and whites of the
franchise. Remember, the vote
can get us what we want-if we
use our voting strength with dill
gence and intelligence and enlist
the support of those who favor
our cause. 1t can also place us
in a bargaining position and give
us the support of other voting
segments. The other evening l
heard a man say: mo taxation
representation is just a
saying-it doesn't mean any,
thing" 1t is our duty to show
them it does and will mean some
thing. We must make it known
to the politicians and to the
public that we know what we
want, that we know what is best
for us, and that we only intend
to vote for those candidates and
support those issues which mean
advancement for us.

Negro Demos
In Bolt To
Hurrimun

CHICAGO-Bruited about as a
Hartman meeting" a confer
ence Of so Negro Democrats from
10 states and the District of Co.
1ufnbia, called following the
NAACP convention in San Fran
cisco last month, urged the DEM
ocrats to nominate a liberal can
didate who will not equivocate
in (. support of strong civil
rights plank" here last Friday.
Credence to the rumor that the
meeting, called by New York
City Councilman Earl Brown was
instigated by Hartman forces,
was lent by the lefthanded slap
conference took at Democratic
hopeful Adlai Stevenson, whom
it is generally conceded did con-
siderable equivocating on the
civil rights issue during his pri-
mary campaigns.
Called ostensibly to write a
civil right plank, to be suggested
to the Democratic convention for
adoption, the conference agreed
on such provisions as that federal
funds for public schools and 9th
er public facilities be withheld
when there is wilful refusal to
comply with the Supreme Courts
decisions and DEGREES.
Suggestions to the COnven-
ton included one that Democrats
carry on in the Roosevelt-Tru-
man tradition" adding:
'The drive toward equality for
all Americans dramatically init
ated by President Roosevelt, car
ried forward by President Truman
and reaffirmed by the Supreme
Court, is losing force because the
Eisenhower Administration has
failed to act effectively in the
civil rights field"
Among those attending the con-
ference were: DR.. Margaret Butch
er, of Washington, Stevenson
delegate from the District of Co
lumbia; New York State Assem-
blyman Elijah Crump, Congress
man William L. Dawson, State
Senator Corneal Davis, of Illinois,
