tainly through no fault of the NAACP. For
this organization has assumed the attitude
Of the enemy.
Certainly without any abiding interests
in the tenuous relations of the two races
in single society, its purpose (Which, of
course, would be denied) seems to be to
promote an alignment of antagonistic
forces between the Southern white and the
rest of the country If they succeed in this
undeclared purpose, the only result can
be chaos, and this for a most simple reason.
The paternalism of the substantial
Southern white to the Negro might be an
extremely Objectionable attitude in ideal
terms, but we must proceed on the tangible
fact that it exists. 1t exists with consider
able inequity to the Negro and considerable
cost to the white, but, viewing history as
it happened and not as we might wish it,
the paternalism was the result of the con-
ditions forced on the PROSTATE South by
it's quite unidealistic conquerors
With all ills, and all the political uses
that Russia might make of it, the pater
nalism evolved between the two races
caught in mutual upheaval and dislocating
poverty and, within its pattern, peaceful
eo-existence developed within the whole
structure. 1t is this sense Of paternalism in
the responsible white that has caused his
moderation in the present crisis. No one
else in the country has anything like it las
see Harlem and Chicago's Black Belt).
SO far, nothing the Supreme Court nor
the NAACP has done disturbed this in
grained, if patroniZing, protectiveness, this
very real, if unequal, affectionate RESPONSE
bility. Committed snfully and totally to
this basic inequality as the responsible
white might be, if his paternalsm is sud
denly removed there will be tragedy for
everybody.
Once the Southerner comes to regard
the Negro as, say, the Boston Brahmins
did the Irish peasants, Or the East Coast
entrepreneurs with all George M. Co.
han-ish -waving) regarded the Italians
and Poles, the Negro will be on his own
and at this age he is simply not qualified
to carry his own weight in an alien white
society.
Nothing yet has occurred to make the
responsible white Southerner turn against
the Negro In noble distractions he keeps
him down. as does the North, but he
doesn't want the Negro hurt If the South
ern whites heart is ever hardened-as was
the proper Bostonian to the Irish-it is not
only the Negro who will suffer
After all the harsh things that have been
said about the white Southerner, and many
OF them justly. the responsible white
Southerners today are maintaining a
most difficult society in the face of ir-
responsible pressure from the outside and
pressure from the NAACP from within
which is designed to use the South as
testing-ground for social equality that
exists nowhere-except in words.
Let us continue in our sense of responsi-
bllity, and permit no maneuvering to
precipitate us into another Fort Sumter.

From Virginia Record. Editoriol by
Clifford Dowdy

tCfford Dowdy nationally known his
torian and author. now editor of the Vir-
gna Record presents phase OF the racial
problem factually and objectivelyD
NOW that the NAACP is opening it's
Virginia campaign of litigation to force
an unwanted integration upon the white
population, sufficient time has elapsed
since the Courts edict for the dust to settle
and the outlines of the situation to become
clear. 1t is apparent that the Negro leaders
for "Integration Yesterday" have waited in
vain for incidents of violence that could
be used to cause pressure from the outside.
In Alabama. the out-Of state ambulances
that waited for victims had to drive off
empty and, despite all efforts to blow up
the University affair into a minor civil
war, the furry soon lost it's newsworth-
mess Southerners everywhere have been
very chary of providing any news. Even
the demagogues usually dependable for
providing ammunition to the Lehmans of
the North, have shown unprecedented
restraint, and it was New York's vocal
humanitarian who was answered by our
own senator. By now, the moderate North
erner, with no violence to incite him, has
come himself to regard the race problem
as not necessarily the South's alone and to
doubt the wisdom of enforcement.
Students of the events leading to the
Civil War; with whatever disagreements
to basic causes, are fairly we'll in agree
ment on the fact that the sectional diff
ferences got out of hand as the moderates
on both sides were swayed by extremists.
Northern abolitionists We're matched by
Southern 'fire-eaters," and the average
citizen. as always, was swayed by passion
and false generalities.
One of the false generalities of the North
went so deep into the public consciousness
that people believe even today that Lincoln
freed the slaves" and reputable national
magazines refer to the Emancipation Pro-
camation as the great humane act which
freed them. The famous Proclamation was,
by Lincoln's own admission, introduced as
war measure, nearly two years after
secession began, in reputation of the
Presidents own stated beliefs. and it never
applied to the whole United States Slavery
was ended officially in this country only
after Lincolns death
At this stage in the new troubles over
the colored race in white society, the
pious hosannas from north of the Poto-
mac have not contained any of those
sonorous generalities which provide
slogan for the well-ntentioned unin-
formed, and in the South the leaders have
stressed the moderation which is the essence
of eventual solution.
In practical terms, then, the moderates
across the borders have established what
amounts to tacit working agreement and
the burden of this intelligent, patient
moderation has been carried by the white
Southerner
AS of now. no guileful enemy has. as
Lincoln did, been able to provide Fort

Detroit Man Accused
At yesterdays hearing former
FBI man Schemanske, 43, of
Dearborn, Mich, under oath
identified Saul Grossman of De-
troit as a Communist. Mr..
Schemanske said he served on
various party committees with
Mr.. Grossman, who is executive
secretary of the Michigan Com
mittee for the Protection of the
Foreign Born.
Mr.. SchemanSke, who later
told reporters he was an investi-
gator for the Ford Motor Co.,
testified that for Is years-from
1888 to 1953-he was a member
of the Young Communist League.
Mr.. Schemanske said he was a
member of the Communist Party
from 1943 to 1853 as a loyal
American working for the F'BI.
He said he knew Mr.. Gross
man to be a Communist and
pointed him out in the crowded
courtroom.
Then Mr.. Arens told Mr..
Grossman to rise, look Mr..
Schemanske in the face and say
if he was lying. Mr.. Grossman
said:
II have heard this man was a
paid labor spy for the Ford
Motor Co. and committed perjury
on the witness stand"
Mr.. Grossman then invoked
the Fifth Amendment, declining
to discuss Mr.. Schemanske's tes-
timony.

Mr.. Frazier termed Mr.. Cross
mans group "a Communist or
ganization," claiming that earlier
subcommittee hearings "have
demonstrated beyond a doubt
that the American Committee for
