the state FILA director. The
selection process is rather vague.
1t is rare, however, to find
whites who favor equal rights
appointed to these committees.
In the application for an FILA
loan, the applicant must state his
race. For those who are trouble
makers, that is those who seek
the right to vote, the chances of
getting a federal loan are almost
non-existent. Compared to 1877
whites who received such FILA
loans in the South only SO were
made to Negroes in 1859.
In Fayette county one Negro

munist Americans" are doing for
Moscow what the Communists are
unable to do for themselves.
Take the case Of Fayette and
Haywood counties in Tennessee.
At the end of 1860 they were in
the news with stories that 700
share-crOpper and tenant farmer
families received eviction notices
from their neutrality-suspicious.
because they sought to exercise
their right to vote.
There was a great furore about
it, the Justice Department won a
suit proving that the sharecrop-
pers were being penalized for ex-
ercising their voting rights. Then
the story was relegated to the
back pages, eventually to drop out
of the news altogether.
While the changing agricultural
status of the South has caused a
considerable decline in the number
of sharecroppers and tenant farm
ers, these Negro workers are still
not much better off. They are
being forced into migratory and
seasonal farm labor or else must
go to the cities to compete for I'M
skilled jobs, which are diminishing
in number.
In addition to this employment
situation, the Negro sharecroppers
find themselves facing two threats,
if they try to exercise their voting
rights. Tenant farmers always
have a low income. Now they face
withdrawal of credit as well as
economic boycotts from the white
landlords.
In Fayette and Haywood count
les the Negroes were denied even
small personal bank loans while
those whites who evicted them
from the land were granted credit
to mechanic their farms.
PROTECTING LOCAL "SOV-
EREIGNTY" - You get some
idea of what local control" and
states rights" mean to the Negro
farmer when you examine what
happens to a Negro applicant for
a Farmers Home Administration
loan.
There is a requirement that any
such federal loans must be passed
upon by a county FILA committee.
In theory this seems reasonable,
as a precaution against fraud and
deception. But as it works in
many places, only a submissive
type of Negro is going to get help.

public appearances, but during
these trying twilight years DR..
Blackwelder never lost his
friendly spirit and gracious
manner. He was made pastor
eritus of Reformation
Church in 1858.
Those who knew and heard
him at his peak will never
forget the Lutheran pastors
gift of poetic expression and
solid doctrinal content. DR..
Albert j. Shirley Of Mount
Vernon Place Methodist Church
said "for beauty Of expression
and intellectual and spiritual
content, few preachers in
America were his equal. He was
in more constant demand across
America than almost any other
minister"
DR.. Blackwelder had a def
mite concept of his mission
as a preacher. AS DR.. Robert
Van Deusen, Washington Sec
retary. National Lutheran
Council, said, he wanted to
be "a voice rather than an
echo; he wanted to shape
the social conscience of the
church"
When he came to Washing
ton in 1888 from Christ LII
theran Church, Baltimore, the
preacher told DR.. Joseph r.
Sizoo, now George Washington
University professor of religion,
it was to study and think
and write and read" The
seemingly limitleSs resources
Of the Library of Congress and
the contacts with members of
Congress, among other items,
served as an impetus to his
inquiring mind and spirit.
AS a man, DR.. Blackwelder
had an ebullient personality
that made the whole world
