Richmond HEARINGS


The hearings in Richmond
last week furnished Nasser
and his Asian and African
cohorts all the ammunition
they want to prove that de-
mocracy and Christianity mean
little to many, if not a major
ity, of Southern white people.
Not since the days of the brown
shirters in Hitler's Germany
has the race supremacy doc
trine been so strongly adj
vocated. Listening to the pro-
ponents of a Virginia "apar-
theid," one would think he was
in South Africa.
More than 60 speakers re-
verted to speeches like the
legislative chamber rever-
berated with during the dark
days of the rebellion and OF
reconstruction. Some, includ-
ing ministers of the religion
of Jesus, while protesting
friendship for Negroes. gave
evidence of hatred and fear
reminiscent of the days of the
Ku Klux Khan.
Underlying the arguments
of the proponents of segrega-
ton was fear. Although not
outwardly expressed is the
fear that integrated schools
is but a part of the plan Of
Negro citizens to assert their
full constitutional rights. The
politicians. who misrepresent
the majority of their con-
stituents, who happen to be
Negro citizens, see in the eff
forts of the NAACP and in in
tegration growing aware
ness on the part of Negroes
that they must vote and fight
harder to gain for themselves
the benefits long denied them.
Not much hatred was shown
as the courts made it possible
for Negroes to ride freely on
buses and the railroads; not
too much animosity was
aroused when unsupported
parks and institutions of high
er learning were legally opened.
But to let them enter the
public schools would eventually
make it possible for Negroes
to secure training for and en-
try into many avenues of en-
ployment and a greater desire
to enter into public affairs.
The Grays, Tucks, AbbittS
and Byrds foresee the end of
the day when no representa-
tive of the so to 70 per cent of
their constituency has a job
as a fireman, a policeman or
even deputy sheriff.
How the President of the
United States can view with
alarm the Suez Canal in
cident in far-off Africa and
fail to note that Virginia and
her Southern sister States are
making almost impossible his
attempt to work for peace in
the world is hardly under
standable unless it is solely
due to his political attempts
to WOO the votes of segrega-
tionists. Instead of sending
Mr. Dulles flying over the
world to help American bust
ness the President should be
trying to convince South
ernerS that so long as they
deny American citizenship to
colored citizens under the
guise of States rights they are
Fastening the day when their
sons will be going overseas
again to fight for democracy.
Negroes are calm in this
struggle because they know
that the laws of the entire
United States are on their side
despite the efforts of Virginia
to deprive them of full and
frst-class citizenship.

Nosser and FL AIomein

David Lawrence should be
given a rising vote of thanks
for calling attention to a part
of the history of Egypt in
terms of the last world war,
which is quite pertinent at
this time.
The Nazis. under Gen. Rom
mel, had moved on to the
gates of Ell Alamein. Lying
side by side with the boys,
whose symbol of their faith is
the cross. are those boys who
gave up their lives during that
battle, and whose symbol Of
faith is. the Star of David.
Fighting side by side with the
British and French young men
were the young Jewish pioneers
from the then Palestine, who
volunteered their services,
under the leadership of Col.
Frederick Kish. who lost his
life in that battle.
1t is vitality important to
remind everyone that col
laborating with the Nazis dur
ing that period was the
famous Grand Mufti of Jeru-
salem, Hal Muhamed Amin
al Husaini, whose implacable
hatred of the Palestinian
Jews had no bounds and who
was responsible for the many
anti-Jewish riots in Palestine
in the l920s and 1930s. After
the war was over, he was
denounced by the Allies as a
war criminal, but was given
haven and refuge in France.
which permitted him to escape
to his last known address,
Cairo, Egypt. Knowing of the
many Vaccinations Of the
Multi, it would not be surpris-
ing to find that his brand Of
diplomacy is involved in the
present Suez crisis.
Nasser has invited all the
nations to attend a conference
on Suez in Cairo; but one
thing stands out like a sore
thumb: The only nation not
invited is the state of Israel.
In the light of all the fore
going, how can any faith be
put in the promises and
guarantees of Col. Nasser?
Abe Shefferman.
AS one who served in the
British army during World
War II and took part in the
battle of Ell Alamein. allow
me to pay my compliments to
David Lawrence for the article
which so truly states the facts
about the sacrifices the Brit
ish have made in order to pro-
tect Egypt from failing under
Fascist rule.
There are, however, two
facts Mr.. Lawrence forgot to
mention: Cd When Italy de-
clared war ON the Allies in
June, 1910, Egyptian soldiers
were ordered by their govern
ment to retreat from the
front line and refuse to CO.
operate with the British army
to defend their own country.
20 When, in the summer of
1912, thousands of young men
serving in the British army
lost their lives in a cruel battle
against the forces of Rommel
to defend Egypt against NaZi
domination, not one Egyptian
took up arms to defend his
own country! On the con-
trary, they tried to play a de-
structive part by cooperating
with the enemy.
Following the behavior of
the Egyptian people since
World War II. one gets the
impression that Egyptian lead
ers believe more in progress
by destructive methods than
by constructive ideas.
In the question of the Suez
Canal, Nasser again has taken

which swept five houses in the

yesterday.
Andrew Gentry, coIored, Of the
1900 block Of Rosedale street
NE, said he set the fire after
Elizabeth Hill. so, colored, of 1850
Kramer street NE, refused to
let him see her daughter, Shirley
Elizabeth. 81, Thursday night,
according to 1t. Nunzio Bonac-
corsy. head Of Sd District de-
tectives.
The fire threatened to destroy
the entire block before firemen
checked 1t. Their prompt ac-
ton and the presence of some
brick Prevails were credited with
saving the block Of small frame
row houses.
Police Relate Details
Fire Investigator Warren C.
Kelly quoted Gentry as saying
he Lit a piece Of newspaper and
threw 1t in the trash can along
side the house. When the flame
rose, Gentry went home until
he heard the fire engines and
then went back to try to talk to
the young woman when she came
out Of the house, according to
the statement.
Gentry was quoted as saying
he did not want to hurt anyone,
but only wanted to talk to the
girl.
Nine persons were asleep in
the house when the fire caught
about 4 am. yesterday. The
alarm brought out nine engine
and two truck companies. two
battalion chiefs and a rescue
squad. Firemen fought the blaze
for five hours.
Damage Set at $4,000
The flames had shot around
a brick f1rewall into the open
rear windows Of 1913 Kramer
street on one side, and then
surged through q common attic
into the top floors Of 1852, 1854
and 1856 on the other. Firemen
said another firewall kept the
blaze from continuing down the
block through the wooden
houses. Damage was estimated
in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
Detectives Harry Pixton and
Lawrence F. Wallace of No. 9
precinct arrested Gentry last
night near his home after an
