missing movement among Ne
groeS in the south today is the
much publiciSed plan to increase
greatly the number of register
ed voters and to look toward
electing several Negro Congress
men from southern states. Prob
ably the last Negro member of
Congress was the grandfather
Of DR.. Lowell C. Wormley, the
la tie ex-Congressman H. P.
Cheatham, of North Carolina.
The disfranchisement laws of
the south almost annihilated
the political participation of Ne
groeS in that area.
The political slavery of Ne
groeS in the south is still wide
cast and a new plethora of laws
restricting the voting of Negroes
is being steadily produced in
southern legislatures. But here
in Arizona we are entirely
FREE to participate in politics
and yet far too many Of us do
not get registered and many of
those registered fail to go to
the polls to vote.
After all, what does our po-
litical participation mean to us
and to the community? In other
words, what is politics? Political
participation is the most i'm
portant job we have as Ameri-
can citizens. Politics is not just
voting for some one to get an
office, with the advantage to us
being to vote for the man whose
promoter pays most. Hanging
directly upon our wise and in
formed use of the ballot are
such vital matters as: whether
or not we shall have the kind
of schools that will do most to
prepare our children for use
full life; whether or not Negroes
a SteacherS and other employees
shall be given fair chance to
get work in our public schools;
whether or not the candidates
we help to elect to the legisla-
ture shall vote for laws that
give us the same rights in pub
lie places as other people;
whether or not the part of the
community in which we live gets
a rightful share Of police pro-
lection, fire protection, street
development, and other services
provided from taxes; whether
or not Negroes get representa-
ton on boards and committees,
that make policy for services
provided by the city, county and
state; and whether or not Ari-
zona'S representatives in Con-
gress are aware that there are
Negroes in Arizona, who helped
to elect them and who are de-
finitely interested in how their
representatives vote on national
bills which affect them in par
ticular and the best interests of
the nation in general.
Unlike the situation in the
south, the politicians in this
section are interested in getting
every eligible voter registered.
Right now deputy registrars are
being appointed in many of the
voting precincts. 1t is the duty
Of these deputy registrars to
see that for a voter to get regis
tered is as easy and simple as
possible. I have applied to be-
come a deputy registrar.
Furthermore, full participa-
ton in politics means accepting
our individual responsibility for
the financial support of the
Party that we depend on poll

-Four White Men
Arrested For
Attacking
Negroes Here

Four white men were in City
Jail Saturday charged with assault
and armed robbery after admitting
to police they went "riding around
looking for some Negroes to beat
up" Friday night.
Police Chief of Detectives M. b.
Pierce said the four men assault
ed two Negroes, Owen Smith, 90,
Of 1928 Biloxi St., and L w s
Brown, 16, 3716 Fontaine St.
Shortly after the beatings were
administered early Friday morn
ing, Pierce said, city detectives
picked up the four men: Thomas
Cockrell, 20, of 152 Wacaster St.,
Charles Hayes, 81, of Alt S. Con-
gress St., and William Harry Wo-
mack, 20, and Olin James, 81, both
of Laurel.
A short piece Of chain, pair
of handouts and a .38 calibre pistol
were found in the possession Of the
four men by arresting officers
John L. Sullivan, j. R. McCloud,
R. T. Foster and w. L. Allen.
The second victim, Smith, told Of
ficers he was walking along Flor
ence Street about 2:30 am. and
passed the parked car in which the
four men were seated. He said
the auto then pulled up in front of
him and the men told him to "come
over here with your hands up"
Making him turn around, Smith
said, the men took his wallet and
hit him with the chain. He said he
managed to get away but the men
caught up with him and started
hitting and stomping me-"
He said he finally managed to
escape and notified police. A short
while later detectives caught the
men on South Street.
The first victim, Brown, said he
and a friend, James Adams, were
walking along Bailey Ave. Exten-
sion when the car with the four
men drew up along side and one
asked where they we're going.
Adams ran then, Brown related,
but he said he couldn't escape be-
cause the men were all around him.
He said the men then took his
wallet, struck him with the chain
and their fists and then left.
Pierce said Womack still had
Browns wallet on him when he
was arrested.
Neither of the two Negroes was
seriously injured.

"The main idea running through
all U. S. propaganda in Africa is
the following: Africa must remain
in the orbit of the famous free
world and only the U. S. can keep
it in this orbit. The conclusion
to be drawn from all this is easy:
the United States must replace
former colonialist powers. The
Africans have different opinion:
they do not want any colonial re-

odd and arduous jobs not al
