Floyd Patterson
Talks For Himself

When world heavyweight Floyd
Patterson opens his mouth, mis-
manager Gus D'Amato speaks.
But on the rare occasion when
Patterson has chance to speak
for himself, he reveals "a candid,
thoughtful mind" according to the
current issue of Look magazine,
which quotes the heavyweight
titleholder as follows:
On Johansson - I've never
seen any films of his fights. If l
did, maybe I'd start expecting
something he won't do. This way,
I'm going in there expecting the
unexpected"
On himself "A lat of people
say I'm not a great champion, or
even a good champion. But they
can't say I'm not the champion.
There's only one place they can

Editor Warns Of Racial Catastrophe:
For Whites in Union Of South Africa
Admits Little Rock Has Hurt So. A.

The Union of South Africa's
doctrine of apartheid-the forced
separation of the races-may re-
suit in the worst racial catastro-
pHe in white history, a magazine
editor declared this week.
Writing in the new issue OF
Look, Edward NJ Korry. the
magazines European editor,
warned that Africans ARE build
ing up a store of resentment and
hate that is bound to explode" if
Prime Minister Hendrix Ver-
woerd land his like" remain in
power.
Korry. recently returned from
q tour of South Africa, said that
Africans are deprived of rights,
shorn of dignity and forced to
work for pittances.'
Noting that 1T would take
pages to list the laws that grind
down the black Korry wrote:
He may not vote or own land;
he is barred from living in any
white area; he may not remain in
any urban locale more than "
hours without a work contract or
special permit; he is prohibited
from engaging in collective bar
gaining; he may not be on the
streets of most white areas after
Q p. m, and, of course there is
no social cultural or educational
integration.e
In an accompanying article in
Look. writer Ernest Dunbar re-
ported that racial relationships
elsewhere in Africa are improving.
Dunbar said he found less ra-
cial antagonism in West Africa
than in many parts of the United
States.
He pointed out that in the Ne

Union Leader
Speaks For Race

Unless specific safeguards are
included, we can readily foresee
that amending the present seeuri-
ty bills will be used as devices
to cloak exclusions from employ
ment opportunities grounded on
race, religion, and color said
James B. Cobb, president of the
National Alliance Of Postal EN-
ployees. He was addressing men,
bers of the House Civil Service
and Post Office Committee on
proposed loyalty and security
measures last week in Washington
For nearly fifty years. NAPE
has been seeking to minimize the
effects of and to eliminate dis
criminatory refusals of govern
ment agencies to hire Negroes"
he said. THE very existance of an
Executive Commission charged
with correcting on-the-job racial
discrimination, indicates the need
for legislative protection of the
thousands who never get Jobs be-
cause of arbitrary refusals to hire
Cobb, leader of the 10000 men,
Der postal union with chapters in
SO states, told the Congressman
that mo significant increase in
the percentage of Negro postal
personnel has been made since
1947 The conclusion is unacceptable
that the cloak of national securi-
ty has concealed the same old dis
criminatory refusals to hire or
promote and the discriminatory
firing with which we are famil-
lar.
Pointing out five chief defects
of executive efforts to protect ma
tional security, the soft-spoken
but firm union head said,' each
time individual liberties are in
fringed, each time personal free
doms are improperly prescribed by
government action, the foundation
stones Of our democratic institu-
tons become less strong as sup
ports for the American way, and
more vulnerable to anti-American
attack"
He urged the adoption of pro-
visions for independent coordinat-
ed administrative review, and re-
commended that decisions of the
reviewing boy be published.

He said that since the enact
ment of Amendment XIX in 1920,
the above voting provision applies
to females as well as males OF
voting age.
Outlining a course of action for
Negroes in the South, Laws said,
IF Negroes would remove the
injustices and inequalities which
beset us, we must have a righte-
Gus discomfort for our present
status. We must display greater
courage in attacking what we
know to be wrong. We must pos
sesS a greater measure of faith in
ourselves and in men of good
will everywhere. We must secure
the vote in increasing numbers
and we must use that vote in
increasing numbers and we must
use that vote we'll and wisely
Laws stated that in addition
to more than 40 colleges in Texas,
125 school districts had been sue
cessfully and peacefully desegre-
gated. He said that the general
public as well as school and pub
lie officials in these school dis
tricts deserve praise for making
it possible for school indignation
to take place without disorder
and strife" He said that this OPP
portunity for better education
would benefit, not only Negroes
but the south and the nation.

R0Al4 In (fAND AAAAA y
bers of the United States House
of Representatives from South
ern states owe their positions in
Congress to the Negro popula-
tion in their respective states. Yet
these same Congressman are the
greatest barriers to Negroes at
tanning full citizenship
Their view was expressed mere
Sunday by Clarence A. Laws,
field secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored- People.
Speaking at a public meeting
sponsored by the Austin Branch
of the NAAcP, Laws said,
There are II Southern States
which continue TO resist scnool
desegregation and citizenship
rights for Negroes in varying de-
grees. There are at present LOG
Congressman from these states. Of
this number, 80 are there as
direct result of the approximate
ly 100000 Negroes in these
states as of the 1850 census
Laws said that because of this
situation many southern Negroes
not only suffered from taxation
without representation but with
what is immeasurably worse
taxation with malicious misrep-
resentation."
The NAACP official asserted
in some of these southern states
Negroes were being denied many
civil rights, including the right to
vote. He named Louisiana and
Mississippi as the chief offenders
in this respect.
Laws declared that Section 2 of
Amendment XIV, gives Con-
gress the power to restore voting
privileges of citizens or to re-
duce the Congressional represen-
tation of states abridging these
privileges. He quoted the Consti-
tutional provision as follows:
Representatives shall be ap-
portioned among the several States
according to their respective num-
bers, counting the whole number
of persons in each State, exclud-
ing Indians not taxed But when
the right to vote at any election
for the choice of electors for
President and vice President of

tatives of Congress, the Execu-
tive and Judicial officers Of a

islature thereof, is denied to any

being twenty-one years of age,
