Along Freedoms Road
BY RUTH PERRY

tant factor in the campaign for
Negro police. But, more than any
other one thing, it assured the
proposal a fair hearing and SER
ious consideration by city author
tiles.
When the proposal was first
made, some Of the white police
men didn't like the idea. But
once the Negro officers were act
ua1ly appointed, the objections
melted away into thin air. Per-
haps the fact that the police de-
partment offers its members a
course in race relations has some
thing to do with 1t. 1t Is no long
er news that there are Negro po-
licemen in Greensboro. But per-
haps a thing that now seems a
natural and normal part of the
life of the city can be summed UP
by the comment of a local news
paperman. NEGRO police? They're
not news in Greensboro anymore.
1t might be news, though, to re-
mind people that we haven't al
ways had them"
LESSON OF sPUTNik
In an address at luncheon
meeting of the famous and influ-
entail Commonwealth Club Of
California at San Francisco re-
Gently, Roy Wilkins, NAACP ex-
ecutive secretary told his audi
ence that one of the lessons OF
the sputnik is that we dare not
persist with segregated education
or with second-class citizenship
at is plain now" Mr.. Perkins
said, "that we do not have the
exclusive 'know-how,' and that
we need every brain and every
man and woman who can be
mustered for the campaign Of
survival"
To gain their objective of full
citizenship rights, Mr.. Wilkins
further declared, Negroes are
prepared to sacrifice today as they
have sacrificed in the past. They
are willing and eager to pay the
price for freedom so long over
due. Neither punitive legislation,
nor harrassing regulations, threats
economic freezeouts, insult, hui
initiation, mobs, NOR death win
halt them in their quest. Negro
children have shown, by their
fearlessness and their dignity that
a people viii not be denied their
heritage"

WHITE ALABAMA
PRES1YTERIANS SAID IT

"We encourage the Negro to be
clean but rent him houses with
no bath Facilities; to be healthy in
moldy shacks on unpaved streets,
in bottom lands; to dress prorer-
ly on a pauper's income, to pay
taxes when there is no property
to own; to finish his schooling
when he has TO work to eat; to
vote when registrars ask impos-
sible questions; to love his cotln-
try which shows little affection
for him"

NEGRO POLICE IN
SOUTHERN CITIES

According to statistics for the
years 1945-54, there has been a
gradual increase in Negro police
in the South. In the year 1945, 8
states employed Negroes, and In
20 cities in these 9 states, there
were I31 uniformed and plain
clothes policemen and 3 police
women. In the year 1854, there
were Negro police in Is South
ern states, and 143 cities and q
counties employed Negroes, with
4 total of 618 uniformed police
men, 80 plainclothes policemen
and liz policewomen.
Al an example, let us look at
Greensboro, N. c. This city
wouldn't be, without Negro police,
after first-hand experience. In
1910, of Greensboro's $4,000
people, 10000 or "a percent, were
Negroes. Though Negro spokes-
men had been urging the use OF
Negro police for IS years or
more, the potential voting power
of the Negro population had new
err been effectively used to help
bring the move about. In 1913, a
relatively large number OF Negro
voters were registered. They were
kept informed Of the efforts their
leaders were making and the re-
Spouse these efforts were receiv-
ing. This does not mean that the
Negro vote was the only impor-

Then, as Mrs. Sakai APP
preached, Girard ran toward
her shouting, Get out of here. /"
Holding the rifle in his right
arm he fired a blank at her
from a distance of IS feet and
she fell.
The prosecution commended
also that earlier in the day
Girard had fired at three

prosecution also said United

warned not to fire empty cart

Doing Duty, Defense Says
The defense countered that
Girard was performing as
signed military duties in an
area allocated to the United
States by the Japanese govern
ment for maneuvers and was
carrying out these duties under
direction of his superior off,
GERS.
Mr.. Hayashi said Girard in
firing was motivated solely
by a desire to cause trespassing
civilians to withdraw from the
area "a motive) reasonably
related to his duty to guard
the property. Girard did
not intend to cause injury to
anyone.
The defense attorney said
the soldier had hoped to warn
away the shell pickers with an
unusual noise" produced by
firing the blank castings.

Kayoko said her father was
at a religious retreat in West

tend the trial. She added that
she thought the court "is lean
ing over backward to be par
tial to the United States and
Girard."
Girard's Japanese wife, Haru

room. Mr.. Hayashi said he told
her to stay away because many
Japanese felt the marriage last
month was in bad taste.
The soldier was brought to
the court in an Army motor
cavalcade from Camp Drew, 80
miles away, and was turned
over to japanese jurisdiction
for the first time. He was re-.
turned to the Army's authority

In a brief statement Girard
told the court Mrs. Sakai's
death was an accident as far
as I'm concerned and I'm sorry
1t happened" The prosecution
charged that he threw out
empty shell casing to entice the
Scavengers onto the firing
range, then shot at them.
Declared on Duty
Moving that the indictment
be dismissed. the soldiers chief
Japanese attorney, ItSuro
Hayashi, renewed the claim
that Girard was carrying out
his official duty and, therefore,
is not subject to Japanese juris-
diction.
This argument originally had
set on considerable congress
sional and press criticism in
the United States Supreme
Court finally upheld the Army
action ruling that a Japanese
trial would not violate the SOL
dier's constitutional rights.
Presiding Judge Yuzo Ka-
wachi said heWould not rule on
the jurisdiction issue until all
the evidence in the case is
heard and 1.-THE final decision
is given" This is expected to
be in late october or Novem-

agreeable to him.

BEYOND MERE HUMANS

Raymond Moley held high
rank and was a powerful figure
in the early years Of Franklin
D. Roosevelt's Presidency. At
that time, he believed in eco
planning and regulation
by the government.
He has since changed his
views. Writing in Newsweek, he
tells why: "T'his was due to the
conviction, which grew with
close association with tn ose
charged with the power of gov
ernment from the President
down, that while planning Is a
grand idea, it assumes a wis
dom and skill which mere hu-
mans can never attain. The safe
ty Of the individual is attained
only when economic decisions
are the product of an infinite
number of individual judg-
ments, and the power of govern
ment is kept close to the people
through decentralization"
Decisions of that kind can be
reached only in a free society
whose economic system is baSed
upon the free market.

DESTROYING THE
IRREPLACEkBlE

About l5U years ago, John
James Audubon, the painter Of
the monumental "Birds of Amer
ica", estimated that he saw 2
billion passenger pigeons at one
time They darkened the sky
and whitened the earth as they
passed. The last passenger pi-
geon died in a mid-weStern ZOO
early in this century, and the
species is now extinct.
Less than one century ago,
buffalo roamed the Western
plains in vast herds. Now only
a comparative handful are left.
The giant whooping crane was
once known in great numbers.
Now only about 30 have been
counted in the Florida sane
tuary to which they migrate, and
there is grave fear that this
species may soon go the way of
the passenger pigeon.
The tragedy is that we can des-
troy wildlife resources destroy
them relatively quickly. But we
can bring them back from the
brink of destruction only with
the greatest difficulty and Of
ten we cannot bring them, back
at all.
It is a rare American who has
no stake and no interest in the
out-of-doorS and it's creatures.
In a recent year something like
IA million fishing licenses were
sold. Many millions go hunting.
Untold numbers go to the
streams, the mountains, the sea-
shores and the forest for re-
creation and restoration of the
spirit. Is it not the part of the
most elementary wisdom-Self-> y
ish wisdom-for everyone to- help
conserve these resources to the
limit of his ability?
CareleSsness, ignorance, and
exploitation are enemies we must
fight. Fire, stream pollution,
game hogs, the litterbugs who
leave trails of trash and filth
these menace the existence of
the irreplaceable. Don't be one
of them.

Yorker may be getting bargain:
How are such auto rates set!
They are set by the risks you run.
Using a lot of tables. charts and
statistics the rate-makers put
price tag on your risks-consider.
ing three things mainly: the price
of your car, the territory you live
in, and whether or not you have
youthful driver" in the family.
If you drive a Cadillac, your
tenders will cost more to repair
than Ford tenders. This means
your rates for collision and com.
prehensive insurance must bt
higher.
The territory you live in affects
both your collision and your liza.
bility rates. If the accident rate in
your territory is high, your insur:
ance rates are pegged higher all
around because all your driving
risks are greater-risks to your.
self, your car, to other people and
their property. Different territor.
les show different auto repair
costs, too, and they are reflected
in the price Of all your auto Gov.
erages.
For drivers under 25 most com.
panies charge liability rates that
are nearly double the regular
adult rate. The erate-makers' tables
show that unframed youthful
drivers, as a group, have about
twice as many fatal accidents as
other age groups.
Two other factors affect liabil-
ity rates. If you don't drive your
car for business purposes, your
rate is somewhat reduced. Also,
some companies give a reduced
