Negro Groups May
Picket Pro Grid
Meeting On Draft

New York, Jan. 20 - The Red
Tooster Sports Committee, an or
ganization of Negro sports fans
and athletes, has threatened to es-
tablish a picket line at the Nation
al Football League draft meeting
at Philadelphia on Jan. 81 in an
effort to induce the Washington
Redskins to seek Negro players.
A letter addressed to Tim Mara,
chairman of the board and own
En-" of the New York football
Giants, asked him to intercede
with Redskins President George
Marshall in the interest Of his Sc
curing qualified players for the
Redskins, regardless of color. Tim
Mara is not listed as an official
of the Giants, although his sons,
John and Wellington, are club Of
ficers.
The Red BOOSTERS Committee
said it had been called upon by two
Washington groups to support
their efforts to get Negro players
on the Redskins, even to the ex-
tent of a boycott.
The letter said: eve would like
to point out that unless Mr.. Mar
shall has a change of heart before
January 31st, you and other owners
will be embarrassed by having to
cross a picket line to get to the
NFL draft at Philadelphia. The
Washington groups have so de-
cided and we are agreeing to go
along"

That we should love We one an

Dear Mr.. Greene:

Mr.. Percy Greene
Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Mr.. Greene:
Our daily newspaper gave an &C.
count of an editorial you wrote in
your paper concerning our present
race relations. l know you are
rot popular with the NAACP, but
please be assured many honest
thinking white people bless you
for your boldness to state what
you honestly believe.
1t has been Negroes like your
self that has done more to advance
your people culturally than all New
York State leaders.
You possess a dignity that the
Adam Powells know nothing of
and as Satan would put every man
against another l consider he has
many tools busy today.
am past so years old and for
the first time in my life 1 have
bitterness in my heart toward the
Negro race leaders. l don't want
to and am praying for God to help
me see what is right in His sight.
Why have the northern race
leaders not been educating teachers
in their unsegregated schools and
sent them to the South if our
coTored people here were not get
ting the proper education? Its
not the building alone but the
quality of teachers in both races
that count the most.
I know of no real uplift work
thew have done religious, or other
wise. The white people are still
the ones going to Africa to carry
the gospel to savages. They do not
want to really help their people as
much as to agitate and gain pow
err.
God resists the proud and gives
grace to the humble and Jesus nlm-
self set our pattern.
do not deny you have suffered
oppression, but equal justice can
he given, without violence if the
right approach is made.
For some good reason our maker
senarated the races, and when and
whv, we do not know clearly but
tho Bible does tell US why he con-
founded the tongues and the more
YOU put people in the same group
to look alike and think alike the
easier it is for Satan to control
them.
This is the heart of the matter
with white Southerners. We know
that they will not stop till all
laws protecting our future genera
t;ons are broken down. Whiskey'
done and rock n roll savage mu-
sic is already here to rob oul
children of their sanity, and NOR
ole now Satan wants to destroy
the white race for they are the
ones who have carried the gospel
and science to better all man kind

rerson that members Of your race

Mr.. Percy Greene, Editor
Jackson Advocate
Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Sir:
The enclosed newspaper clipping
is from the Montgomery Alabama
Advertiser. As a white Southern
err, born and bred on plantation
in Alabama's so-called "Black
Belt" | void like to pass on to
you a few words of highest COM
mendation for the stand you have
taken as a leader of the Negro
race in the present unsettled times.
We white citizens of Alabama
have been glad to honor Booker
Washington as the foremost man
that his race has produced. We
also have honored and have great
est respect for Professor George
Carver, who was indeed a remark
able character. My friend, the late
Governor Fielding Wright, of Mis-
sissippi, once told me that Prof.
Laurence Jones was doing a re-
markably excellent piece of work
at Piney Woods. In fact ne sold"
me on Piney Woods to the extent
that | have from time to time, in
the past, made small contributions
to that school.
There is no good reason why the
members of the white and Negro
race scannot live in peace and
smity in the Southland. am sure
that you are respected by the
white and Negro citizens of your
community and that you can call
many white men your friends. 1t
is deplorable that it has become
possible for rabble rousers mem
bers of my race such as Douglass
of Illinois and Humphrey of Min
nesota and members of your race
such as Adam Powell and Wilkins,
to stir up trouble and dissention as
they are now doing.
trust you will continue in the
efforts you are now pursuing and
that success will attend your et-
forts. You will have the respect
and gratitude of the better ele-
ments of both races. The Negro
race can resume it's course OF pro-
rress and the whites will be OF
assistance as in the past. 1t can
hardly be denied that, despite some
handicaps and Encouragement, the
Negro race has made more prog
ress in the last century than has
been made by any other race in
the history of the world.
More power to you. You talk
like the Negroes greatest benefac'
tor. Booker Washington.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One of the favorite topics
for conversation when ever Aung
Haggar's Chilluns are gathered to
talk about each other and every
thing else, is punctuality. One of
the brothers was saying that it
seems that all Of the brothers and
sisters that he knew have acquired
the general reputation for never
being on time for nothing nowhere.
Yessuh! He said that it didn't
make no difference how important
the occasion was, the brothers and
sisters just never could seem to
git themselves together enough to
get there on time. He went on
to say that one of the very first
things a real business man uses to
Judge his associates by is whether
or not they are prompt for ap-
pointments and things like that.
Somebody else chimed into say that
most of the brothers and sisters,
and people in general for that mat
ter, didn't ever take occasion to
think just how important Time
was, whether it concerned being
on time or wasting it. If they said
they was going to be there at nine,
they usually got there by ten and
Figured that it was alright, and
anything they missed, they just
missed and it didn't make any diff
ference. He concluded by saying
that from what he could see a
whole lot of Aung Haggar's Chill
lun had been missing out on a lot Of
things down through the years, and
if being on time and being prompt
to their responsibilities and obi
cations would eliminate this, then
they shore ought to start being
more like that.

gave the flag with As stars
