BY Leonard H. Bell

In a presidential election year
both candidates are supposed to
make all issues clear, so that the
voter may make his choice easier,
according to his convictions.
This is truer this year than in
previous election years when the
voter was more illiterate and far
less informed than he is today.
And the Negro voter today is
in quite quandry as he attempts
to fathom the reasoning that
exists among leaders of both par
ties regarding that part of the
country which wishes to retard the
progress of the Negro and con-
tinue to keep him in psychological
slavery.
We have candidates, both past
and present, speak out in earnest
condemnation and with sincere
pledges to seek the immediate
eradication of Nazism and Com
munism in these United States. We
have seen both the President and
Congress press for sterner laws
and stricter enforcement of such
laws. We have seen the leaders of
these isms swiftly brought to JUS
tice and their organizations quick
ly destroyed. In fact, every law
enforcement agency; federal, state
and local, have been brought to
bear to destroy any isms that sub
vert the Constitution and threaten
the welfare of the United States.
That is, if these isms are not
directed solely against the Negro.
When they are, they and their
leaders are allowed to flourish.
Both parties are quick to RENTER
pret constitutional law and seek
every hair-line legal dodge to a.
void law enforcement when the
Negroes rights are at stake in the
South. This was true of the old
Klu Klux Klan until it began to
threaten the rights and liberties
of white citizens. 1t is true today
in the case of the Kan-like White
Citizens Councils-vicious spawns
of States Rightism. Even though
they daily threaten the life, liber.
ty and progress of Negro citizens
it is said nothing legally can be
done to stop economic and psyche
logical depredations.
Subyersion is but subyersion
whether it be Nazism, Communism
or States Rightism. To subvert tn,

manner weakens the very founda-
tions that has kept US democ-
racy.
We read of the Governor of
Virginia calling Special session
of the Virginia General Assembly
to enact laws permitting the state
to withhold funds from schools
forced to integrate the races.
In Alabama constitutional "a
mendments are up for voter con-
sideration. One of which would
give parents freedom of choice
(as though Southern opinion would
allow them a choice) on whether
to send their children to segregate
1t would also empower the Ala
bama legislature to turn any school
faced with integration into a pri-
vate school.
No wonder our President and
State Department are always silent
on conditions in Africa, especial
ly South Africa, where Negroes
are treated the way white south
ern bigots would like to treat
them here. We who live in glass
houses fear to throw stones. But
what are our candidates pledging?

A $1,000 scholarship fund has
been awarded to the former

was expelled from the Univer-

Eight out of ten Whites agree
with the Declaration of Indepen-
dence that "all men are created
equal" Seven out of ten say they
like, rather than dislike, most
Negroes. Yet only four out of ten
Whites would be willing to live
next door to Negroes. Only five
out of ten would even be willing
to live in the same neighborhood.
Why? Because Negroes are
different, that's why" Approx
mately half the Whites in the U. S.
say that and many of the reasons
they give reveal extreme dislike
for most Negroes.
These are some of the facts re-
ported in the August Catholic Di-
gest in the first national survey of
Negro-White relations. A wide
gap between principle and prac-
tice was revealed by the answers
to the survey questions.
People Change Answers
People would tell the questioner
that they believed one thing, then
admit cheerfully a few minutes
later that they practiced another.
Certain persons kept a consistent
point of view throughout the inter-
view. But many kept switching
about, according to whether the
questions were abstract or con-
crete.
Despite the fact that seven out
of ten Whites claim to like Ne
groes the answers to specific ques-
tions showed very different reac-
tions. In the South, though two
thirds of the Whites like Negroes,

More Farm
Credit TO Be
Available Soon

Increased credit opportunities
for famiiy-sized farms soon will
be available, Senator Roman
Hruska R.-Nebr) said today.
The Senator commended the
Depar tment of Agriculture's
Farm Home Administration for
fast action in getting the expand
ed loan program to the farmer.
"By mid-September," he said,
"all county FILA offices in Nebra-
ska will be ready to process APP
plications under legislation pas
sed by Congress to expand farm
credit. Training meetings for
FILA field personnel are now UNI
derway in the State" he added.
Under the new law, owners of
family-sized farms can be grant
ed loans to refinance existing
debts. These loans" Hruska
said. will give farmers longer
repayment periods they need if
they have adequate land security
and are otherwise in sound flnan-
ciaI condition"
"The new law" he continued,
"also increases amounts available
for operating loans for family
sized farms. In addition, it ex-
tends for two years the authority
for FHA to grant special emer-
gency loans. These new credit
opportunities" Hruska empha-
sized, "are in addition TO the pres
ent loan services Of FILA which
include loans for purchase Of

conservation, and farm housing"

half would draw the line at work
ing next to them. Fully eight out
of ten would refuse to live next
door. In the North, half Of the
Whites would draw the line at liv-
ing next door to Negro family.
Think Negroes Different
Ideals apart, just about half of
white Americans feel that Negroes
are different"
Except for their color, in what
ways would you say that Negroes
are different from Whites?" They
aren't different; one-half of the
northern Whites and a fourth of
the southern Whites say that.
Those who said they are different
gave more derogatory explana-
tions than they did neutral or fa-
vorable ones.
The strange thing about all this
Is not so much the fact that many
people look down on Negroes or
wouldn't live next door to them.
The strange thing is that so many
people who believe in differences
still say they like Negroes and say
that all men are created equal.
In theory, most Whites accept
Negroes. In practice, few do. How
does this affect the race problem?
1t might indicate that most Whites
are probably ready to admit Ne
groes as legal equals, though not
as social equals For when Whites
think abstractly of the Negro
race, they tend to think of Negroes
as the equals of other Whites. But
certainly not, in terms of the diff
erent Negro next door, the equal
of themselves"

Legislation.
The Constitutional Rights sub
committee, of which Senator Hen
nings is chairman, approved four
civil rights bills in February.
Since then, the full committee has
been engaged in hearings on those
and nine other civil rights bills.
In the obvious filibuster which
is being conducted against civil
rights legislation, the committee
on Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week heard three witnesses, Rep
resentatives James C. Davis, Of
Georgia, an ex-Ku Klux Klansman,
and John Bell Williams, of Missis-
sippi, spokesman for White Citi-
zens Councils, and Assistant At
torney General Horace Wimberly
of Texas.
It is up to Eastland as to when
the next hearings will be held.
Robert B. Young, a member of the
professional staff of the commit
tee, has indicated that there are
enough anti-civil rights witnesses
available to keep the hearings go

Washington, D. C. = The Senate
leadership proved Thursday that
it is not impotent when it wants
action.
The case in point is the nomina-
ton of Simon e. Sobeloff, soli-
citor general of the United States,
to be a Judge of the fourth United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
Richmond, Va.
That nomination had been bot
tied up in the Senate Judiciary
committee for nearly year by
Senator James o. Eastland, Dixie
crat, of Mississippi; Senator Olin
d. Johnston, Democrat, of South
Carolina, and ex-senator Strom
Thurmond, of South Carolina, Dix
iecrat candidate for President in
1948.
Objections to Mr.. Sobeloff were
twofold:
l. AS Solicitor General he ar
gued before the Supreme Court the
questions of how the decisions out
lawing racial segregation in the
public schools shall be carried out.
2. He is Jew.
Sets Phony Hearing
After subcommittee, headed
by Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney,
Democrat of Wyoming, had ap-
proved the nomination, Eastland,
instead of having the full Judici-
airy committee vote on reporting
the nomination to the Senate,
staged a phoney hearing which
was designed to keep the appoint
ment from ever reaching the sem
ate floor for confirmation.
Johnston appeared before the
committee to testify on three oc-
casions.
When the majority of the COM
mittee revolted against this kind
of procedure, by to a vote, it
was decided that Johnston was to
complete his testimony and Sena-
tor A. Willis Robertson, Democrat,
of Virginia, was to be heard by
4:30 pm, and then, if a quorum
was present, a vote would be TAX
en-.
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, of
Texas, the Senate majority leader,
made the request after the Senate
convened Thursday that the Ju-
dietary committee be permitted to
sit that afternoon, while the Sen
ate was in session, to vote on the
Sobeloff nomination.
Although Johnston is member
of the Judiciary committee, he
objected to the request on the
ground that at the time the com
mittee agreed to vote on the Sobe-
loft nomination, the Senate had
not entered into a unanimous con-
sent agreement.
But apparently Lyndon Johnson
got in some of his quite behind
the-scenes work, for which he has
become distinguished, and the
Judiciary committee Friday morn
ing approved the Sobeloff nomina-

President Cal Grifith intends

return here today. IT didn't have

the Red Sox acquiring Ed Yost.
The White Sox are interested in
Yost as we'll as Outfielder Roy

Comiskey, club president, has
delayed negotiations.
Wants Vic Power
Griffith admits interest in
Kansas City's Vic Power, who
was employed chiefly at first
base last season, although he
saw service at second base and
in the outfield. Cal also likes
outflelder Harry Simpson and
Pitcher Tom German.
Dresser was chagrined but
not completely debated by the
failure to trade. "The
offers we received were an in
suit to our intelligence" he said.
"The fellows we've been offered
are old guys who have outlived
their usefulness. What we're
looking for is young, fellows, but
nobody wants to give them up.
I'VE haven't given up,
though" Dresser declared. II
wouldn't be surprised if within
the next week or two one of
those clubs we talked with would
call us and make a deal"
