FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson

There is evidence that the
once impregnable wall between
the Negro and white worlds is
crumbling in spots. The Negro
nurses voluntarily gave up their
national organization at the,
invitation of the white nurses
and merged the two organiza-
tions. The National Education
Association has begun to accept
Negro teachers from the South
on the same basis as white
teachers and the dual state and
local associations have begun to.
merge. The National Congress.
of Colored Parents and Teach
erS is a strong and still very
useful organization.
Just this week comes the news
that there are seven Negro high
schools in Kentucky that have
qualified to join the Kentucky
High School Athletic AsSocia-
ton, and this year will compete
in the State (meaning white)
basket ball tournament for the,
first time in Kentucky history.
These Negro schools have quail
flied and will compete in dis
trict tournaments next month
and any winners will compete
in the state meet.
We in Arizona know what
they will go through, for in the
last decade we have gone the
entire cycle. At first competi-
ton will not be between schools
but in every contest the supe-
riority of each Socalled race
will be at stake, and the coaches
will exploit all the racial feel
ing they can arouse. The Of
ficials will all be white and the
Negro boys will know that they
won't win many close games
They will know also that they
must disprove all of the vicious
stereotypes commonly believed
about them. Later the boys will
come to have a hearty respect
for each other and warm per-
sonal friendships will develop.
Still later Negro and white boys
will be playing on the same
teams and travelling together
and facing common foes and
competition will have changed
from a racial basis to a team
basis. Fortunately athletics lev
els all artificial advantages and
competition is on the basis OF
natural skills, the willingness to
train consistently and hard, and
something they call heart. So
Negro boys will have a chance
to win. It will be interesting to
watch interracial progress for
the next few years in Kentucky
high school athletics.

It is difficult even for Negroes
to realize the absolute COM
pletenesS of the encompaSSing
segregated world in which the
American Negro has been fore
ed to live his life. Many whites
can hardly believe it exists.
While slavery and and South
ern propaganda attempting to
justify slavery were largely re-
EponSible for this complete
American apartheid, it existed
all over the nation and not just
in the South.
It began before in the North
emancipation when free Negro
worshipers in the churches Of
the North were inSulted even
to the point of being dragged
up from their knees in prayer
and ordered to the balcony. The
structure of the Negro's separate
world practically began when
the Negro Methodist Churches,
the A.M.E. and the A.M.E. Zion
Churches were organized. The
completeness and the quality of
it are a monument to the dig
nifty, intelligence, and the inge-
nuity of the Negro leaders and
the people they led.
The separate world includes
churches of all denominations,
schools, colleges and universe
ties, fraternal organizations of
ElkS, MaSons, Odd Fellows,
Woodmen, and everything else
in the white world plus a few
more; businesses of all kinds
including insurance companies,
one with assets of $50 million,
and chambers of commerce; col
1ege fraternities and sororities,
civic clubs; professional orga-
nizationS for all of the medical
professions and many others.
There are also such organiza-
tions as NEW Farmers of Ameri-
ca and NEW HomemakerS of
America made necessary by the
fact that in some IA states Ne
groes may not be members of
FUTURE Farmers and allied Or
ganizationS. Even in some states
of the South Negro boys may
not be members of the Hi-Y'S
and the Y.MC.A.'S organizes Ne
gro high school boys into clubs
of another name.
Negroes in all the Southern
and some border states were
forced to organize their own
state and national teacher Or
ganizations and there was need
for athletic organizations to
regulate intraState high school
athletics. Nationally the Negro
colleges have the NCIAA for
regulating college athletics.

w ATCH on
the POTOMAC
BY Robert G. Spivack

THE PRESIDENT SCORES A
POINT-SometimeS, it is said,
adverSity brings out the best in
a man. The old saying never
seemed truer than at President
EiSenhower'S most recent press
conference.-the 101St, incident
ally.
The tension in the Indian
Treaty Room, where the con-
ferences are held, was so high
that one of the nations top
reporters confessed in the mid
die of his inquiry that he forgot
half his question. The President
himself looked grim and preoc-
cupied as one newsman after
another fired away.
The inquiries began with one
about the slave-holding King Of
Saudi Arabia and then ranged
widely, from Defense Secretary
Wilson to the hard-preSsed John
Foster Dulles.
With much of what the Presi-
dent said many will disagree.
But no one who was in that room
doubted for one moment that
the President was at his verbal
best as he spared and jabbed
with the reporters.
The thing that struck me most
was the way the President man
aged to throw off balance some
of the Administrations foreign
policy critics.
"T'hey just talk about great
blundering and lack Of leader
ship. have seen no proposals,
no constructive proposals, for
what even should have been
done with the benefit of hind
sight. On the contrary we just
hear these generalized attacks
which, I assure you, are very
easy to make" he said.
The fact is that many Demo-
Gratis, with the notable excep-
ton of Sen. Fulbright of Ar
kansas, are doing what some of
the old right-wing Republicans
liked to do during the Roosevelt
Truman era. They are empha-
sizing the negative, rather than
accentuating the positive.
Fulbright is the exception. He
has proposed a Middle East
Development Authority to help
finance irrigation projects, build
dams and develop hydro-electric
power in the trouble Middle
East. That seems a little more
affirmative even than the So
called Eisenhower doctrine.
THE HIGH COST OF HAUNT
ING.-You get some idea how
tough things are these days from
a little dispatch that comes to
our attention from London, Eng
land. That nations SpiritualiStS,
mediums and crystal-ball gaz-
erS have decided to form a un-
ion.
According to labor writer, Les
Finnegan, British spiritualiSts
are now getting only 7Oc to
1888 for a public meeting and
1924 for a private seance. They
now want time-and-a-half for
any communing with the spirits
that runs over 11a hours.

Postal Rate Bill
Seen Dead for
This Session

The adjournment rush has
killed all chances that Congress
will raise postage rates this
year.
Chairman Johnston Of the
Senate Post Office Committee
told reporters yesterday that
morning sessions of the Senate
interfere with continued hear
ings on the House-p passed rate
increase bill.
Even If an occasional hearing
could be held. the South
Carolina Democrat indicated,
the committee would not COM

ings will continue well into
the fall.
A subcommittee headed by
Senator Johnston heard spokes-
men for publishers oppose the
rate-booSt bill vigorously yester-
day. They warned that the
measure would put many
magazines and newspapers out
of business.
Manufacturers also protested
increases in third class mail
rates for advertising matter. at
least without adequate notice.
They said immediate increases
would upset budgets and wipe
out profits.
Estimates are hazy on added
revenue from the House bill.
AS sent to the floor. the
measure was designed to in
crease post Office income BY
$527.5 million a year, against
an anticipated deficit Of 1851
million during the fiscal year
ending next June 80.
But the House adopted an
amendment aimed at limiting
the postal subsidy to any
publication to 100000 a year.
Estimate Of prospective revenue
from this provision so far are
guess-work.
Witnesses contended the Post
Office could shrink its deficit
by improving efficiency, rather
than by feeding the flames of

Gov. Williams Weekly

by u. Mennen, Governor or Michigan
LANSING-The state is being subjected these days
to of the worst propaganda barrages in history
all designed to prove that business is being driven out
of Michigan by high taxes.
This campaign is doing tremendous damage to Michi-
CANS standing in the nation. It's making it much more
difficult TO bring business here because business
men who have no knowledge of the politics behind all
this, read it in the paper and react against locating
plants here.
Another effect has been to throw the Legislature
into confusion Nobody wants to do anything that will
actually drive business outof the state and Legis
lators have a political as well as an economic motive
for listening when big business speaks.
The result has been legislative stalemate which
may end up with cuts in services and new
tax on liquor and cigarettes which will be suffci
ent to meet the needs of the schools to mention 9TH
er things.
