EAGLES GRID
FORTUNES DEPEND
ON TAN PLAYERS

E0lCOrB NOCe: Inns 1B announcer
In the series Of stories on Ma
tiOnaI Football League teams
and their tan players.
Chicago (ANP) - With no
place to go but up, the Philadelphia
Eagles are counting on help from
its finest collections Of tan play
ers in history to improve its stand
ing in the National Football
League this season.
On the Eagles squad are the
following tan players:
Clarence Peaks, Proverb Jacobs
and Harold Bradley, followers
from the 1858 squad that won only
two games, lost IL and tied one;
John Burrough, Harold Dukes,
Wilmer Fowler, Art Powell, Rollie
West and Dick williams.
The most-talked of Eagle pros
pect this season is a 22-year-old,
200-pounder, who is so slxillful
that he is being described as a five
way performer. The youngster is
Art Powell, a rookie in the NIL
but a veteran Of two seasons in
Canadian football.
Powell jumps six feet, five
inches, runs the 1OO-yard dash in
az averages S5 points In basket
ball and is a pretty good outfield-
er in baseball. What's that got to
do with football? Well, Powell is
being groomed for three positions
offensive end, TANKER and defen-
sive halfback.
Coach Praises Rookie
The 18th draft choice Of the
Eagles last winter, Powell played
only one year of college football
(1956), but led the nation that
year with 40 pass receptions for
5S3 yards for San Jose State. He
scored five touchdowns. He was
lured to Canada while in the midst
of a basketball season in which
he scored At points in one game.
Coach Buck Shaw Of the Eagles
says, Powell has good moves on
offense, fine speed. He has the
knack of getting open. On defense,
he covers a lot of territory"
Peaks, one of the workhorses in
the Eagles bacEfield the last two
seasons, is trying to overcome his
habit. Of fumbling. In his past
campaigns, he has gained SS1
yards on 240 tries on the ground
and BAT yards on 20 passes and
scored two touchdowns.
Jacobs, the 255-pound former
California star, came fast for the
Eagles after mid-season in 1858.
He has the stuff to become a
top hneman in the league" says
Shaw of his sophomore tackle.
Jacobs can kick off and can kick
extra points.
Another veteran lineman is Har-
old Bradley, who spent four sea-
sons with the Cleveland Browns,
before he was picked up by the
Eagles when he was cast adrift

Dear Sir.
I have always known of h e
great injustices inflicted on col
ored people, but you-and lot
of others that use their suffering
as a means to an end-are doing
the opposite of helping them.
My familiarity with Commu-
nists and Communism goes back
to old WPA days, of which they
were in full control. The colored
people would come to me to tell
me how confused and aggravat-
ed and upset they were because
of group agitation. They would
ask my advice. / would answer,
saying, 81 see what's going on. I
also know who your landlords
are, that they charge you higher
rents than others because they
know and take advantage of your
ghetto restrictions. They never
repair your homes. They call
themselves a minority, so need
your votes for their own selfish
ends" But the poor things knew
their badly-needed jobs depend
ed on the powerful (under Roose-
velD pressure groups, and they
were afraid to show any signs Of
independence. They were the real
dupes (other people use that for
an excuse) but they were forced
into doing what they did not
want to do-either that or face
dire consequences. They were ut
terly helpless and hopeless. A
few of them were given some
power-as a sop-and they kept
the others in line.
A lot of them were strangers to
the North, so out Of fear fell into
line. All the years they have been
used as pawns for so-called DEM
ocratic votes,yet it was under
Republican President Eisenhower
that they got a chance at deseg-
regation.
Now because of your attitude
towards one of our greatest Am
ericans-Joe Mccarthy - whom
true Americans love, honor and
respect, I do not want you to
send me your paper again. /
might also add that I am a right
ist which belittle and malign and
ridicule.

Did you ever have a dog that
was almost human? Many dogs,
and other animals too, are so
amazing in their actions and be-
havior that we can truly say they
are almost human. In fact, ami
mails often seem to show judg-
ment and common sense that put
human being to shame by COM
parison. In spite of all this, there
is one word thereA that cannot be
set aside, 'almost'A Our faithful
pet may be practically a member
of the family and almost" hui
man, but that ''almost" is the
wall that it bumps against
God breathed into Man t h e
breath of Eternal Life and by
that act he set Man apart from
other animals. Man and animals
have lived on this earth for a
long time and, except for a few
traits that may be attributed to
domestication, bre ding, and
training by Man, animals show
no progress above the accom-
plishments of their ancestors.
They live largely by instinct. God
! saw fit to bestow upon Man in
tellect and free will. and through
the centuries Man has slowly and
gradually probed into the store
house of Nature and one by one
has unlocked the secrets contain
ed therein, and as each secret has
been unlocked he has had to ex-
ercise the will granted to him to
decide how to use his new found
knowledge. We need only to look
about us to see that we have
come a long way since the time
of the cave man, however, we do
not have any raw materials to
work with that the cave man did
not have. Human beings, with the
God given gifts of intellect and
free will, have accomplished in a
few thousand years what ami
mails, living by instinct, can new
er do. That is the factor that di-
vides Man from animals.
Now all men are not exactly
alike as to physical characters
tics, color of the skin, etc. Does
this mean that men with certain
physical characteristics and GER
tain skin color are superior to
those who differ from them in
this respect? God breathed into
Man the breath of Eternal Life
There are only two divisions, hui
man beings and non-human an
imals.
Did you ever stop to think why
a Scandinavian, for example, has
the characteristics he has, why
an Italian has the characteristics
he has, why q Japanese has the
characteristics he has, why an AT
rican Negro has the characteris-
tics he has? Only within the last
few hundred years has transpor-
tation developed to the point
where there has been any flow
of people from one place to an
| other. For thousands of years
people lived in their remote lit
tie corners of this earth and the
| climate and environment of that
| particular place marked these
people with certain Characters
| tics and these characteristics
were further intensified genera
ton after generation by inbreed-
ing among themselves. Limita-
tions of movement caused couS-
ms to marry cousins until they
were all cousins within their Dor
| der, but a few miles across the
| border was an absolutely strange
clan, who were all cousins within
their own clan.

of any great extent, across their
borders were the results of wars.
When the Roman Iegions brought
fair skinned people from the
northern countries back to Rome
as captives, the interviewing
that followed resulted in more
vigorous race of people. AS trans
portation developed and new
lands were discovered there were
mass movements of people who
were making changes of their
own free will. In the last three
hundred years there has been in
operation here on the North Am
erican continent the greatest
melting pot in history and it has
resulted in the most vigorous race
of people the world has ever
known. Most of the first perma-
nent settlers were English but if
you could have stood on the
docks as the immigrant ships of
the nineteenth century unloaded
their human cargoes, you could
have labeled each individual as
he came ashore with the name Of
the country from which came.
The French, the Dutch, TIL e
Swedes, the Germans, the Poles,
the Scotch, the Irish, the Swiss,
the Italians, the Greeks, the Hun
garians, the Russians, and many
others-they were labeled as dis
tinctly as if they were tags. There
was another group with their
own characteristics even though
they came from different coun-
tries. This was a group held to-
gether by their religion, the
Jews.
Now, just a few generations
later, except for a few isolated
spots in the big cities where GER
tain groups have managed to
keep to themselves, the majority
of the American people don't
even know what countries in Eu-
rope their ancestors came from.
This is living proof that the
blending of nationalities by in
termarriage is not something to
fear, but rather it is desirable.
The intermingling of rationale
ties has not been confined to one
race. As the pioneer people surg
ed across the continent, there
were many intermarriages be-
tween these new Americans and
the true Americans, the Indians
whose skin was red, and I defy
anyone to say that the descen-
dants of these matings are in any
way inferior.
The people of Africa were
brought here in chains and sold
to the highest bidder. They were
not regarded as human beings
but as work animals. However,
for them, as for others, it is just
as true-God breathed into Man
the breath of Eternal Life. It is
not the desire of God that any
race consider itself superior to
any other race. In spite of restric-
tons against intermarriage and
mainly due to the animal pas
sions and greed of men of the
slave holding class, we now have
a situation where the majority
of the Negroes of this country
have some white blood in their
veins and many people who think
they are all white have Negro
blood in their veins. This, even
though its inception was not ac-
cording to law, has not resulted
in any disaster.
Another event of recent years,
an aftermath of war, has resulted
in many American soldiers bring
