The Miami times., 1957-10-12
Along Freedoms Road
BY RUTH PERRY

The increasing interest in reg
stration and voting of Negroes
hown in the Miami area is very
Important and encouraging sign.
Not only locally, but throughout
he state, the membership in the
Florida Voters League is grow
ng steadily, and the enthusiasm
shown is a heartening indication
that the potential vote of the Ne
gro will soon be something with
which to reckon.
There cannot be enough en-
phasis placed upon the grave ne
cessity of all qualified Negroes
using their ballot. The growth of
The Florida Voters League is proof
that Negroes throughout Florida
hre becoming increasingly con-
&scious Of the responsibilities at
.tached to their votes as well as
an swareness of their ballots as
political power.
For a minority group, the cor
rect use of the ballot, to a great
extent, more than for majority
groups, is a necessity in democ-
racy in order to obtain recogni-
|tion as a minority and to safe
guard their rights. According to
/ facts gathered by the Southern
Regional Council, and printed in
their magazine, The New South,
the decade of the 1940's will
probably be known in any fu-
|ture history of suffrage in the
South as the time of an awaken
ling among Negroes and Of
change of attitude by many
whites toward Negro participation
in this phase of government.
World War Ii, with its empha-
sis on democratic values gave
added force to the demand of Ne
groes for full citizenship, and
also did much to T&epare the
White South for the coming
change. During the 1940's, Ne
gro registration in the Southern
states climbed to more than a
million, and as the registration
went higher, substantial gains in
public facilities and an improved
political climate in many urban
areas followed.
DISCRIMINATORY TACTICS
STILL USED
Although conditions are much
improved in the South for the
free use of the ballot by Negroes,
discriminatory tactics still pre-
vail in parts of the South. Some
of these include the requiring OF
Negro applicants to produce one
or more White character witness
es; the applying of severe prop
erty qualifications and requiring
only Negro applicants to show
property tax receipts; by strictly
enforcing literacy tests against
Negro applicants and by putting
unreasonable questions on the
Constitution to Negro applicants.
Other practices include basing the
rejection of Negro applicants on
alleged technical mistakes in I'LL
ing out blanks; requiring Negro
applicants to fill out their own
blanks, while these Of Whites are
filled out for them by the officials;
and requiring Negro applicants to
suffer long waiting periods be-
fore the officials attend them.
Evasion still persists, and must
be recognized as such when 1t
occurs: such as informing Negro
applicants that registration cards
have run out, that all members
of the registration board are not

81 MILLION
CEMENT
FACTORY FOR
LIBERIA

ENUGU, Nigeria - (ANP) -
The Nigeria Cement Company
Limited, has produced its first
sample of cement at its 81 million
factory at Nkalagu, 81 miles from
Enugu the headquarters of East
ern Nigeria.
When commercial production
starts in November, 5000 bags of
cement will be produced per day
at the initial stages. This would
require about 5000 kilowatts Of
power supplied from Oil River
power station go miles from
Nkalagu and rs tons Of finely pull
verized coal from Enugu coal
mines.
The factory, one Of the best
sited of its kind In the world,
occupies 6.873 acres Of land. With
the exception Of gypsum all raw
materials could be got locally.
Expressing confidence in the fu-
ture of the factory, the CONNER
cisl msnager, said that it could
produce first class cement which
would outclass any external COM
petition. It would supply about
90 percent Of Nigeria's needs.

Red Chino to Boost
Its Foreign Aid

HONG KONG, June 20 LP-
Red China, which gets aid from
Moscow. said today it will step
up its own foreign aid spending
by rs per cent. 1t announced also
a slight reduction in defense ex-
penditures for 1857.
The statements were made by
Finance Minister Ii Hsien-nien
in outlining a 1925 billion yuan
budget for 1857 to the National
Peoples Congress in Peiping
The Reds puts the official valua-
ton Of the yuan at As cents, but
the black market rate ranges
around 20 cents.
Mr.. Ii estimated the amount
to be spent on economic aid to
other countries would be in
creased 25.7 per cent from last
years 404 million yuan. The
countries to receive such aid we're
not specified in Mr.. Lis state of
the economy speech broadcast by
Peiping radio.
Red China itself has been get
ting loans from Russia for its
drive to industrialize. Premier
Chou En-lai told the Congress
Wednesday the nation borrowed
more than 3 billion yuan from
other countries in the past year
Mr.. Ii said Red China has al
located 1885 per cent Of its 1851
budget for defense-but he gave
no actual figure. The defense
share in 1856 was said to be 20
per cent.
