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 Iandlord-empIoyers
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 un-
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 mechanize 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
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 precaution against fraud and
deception. But as it works in
many places, only submissive
type Of Negro is going to get help.
The county committee Of the
Farmers Home Administration
consists Of two farmers and one
Minneapolis spokesman., 1961-11-10

businessman. He Is appointed by
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
wrote:
Il applied for an FILA loan in
the fall of 1860 in the month of
October. I did not even get to the
point where I could state the
amount. I was Immediately told
mo-" Another Negro farmer who
had cleared over 81, 200 off his cot
ton farming was rejected when he
asked for a $70O loan on the
grounds that he probably would
not be able to pay all his bills.

cial use that would result in more
than a temporary alienation of
unemployment and underemploy-
ment."
While underdeveloped areas in
remote parts Of Asia and Africa
all have their spokesmen in WASH
ington seeking loans and grants,
our American Tennessee Negro
sharecropper may find that his is
"a lonely" battle. Unless he does
something quite dramatic and
makes the headlines hardly anyone
bothers to remember him.
Now, If it were Nigeria and a
Red Menace, then there would
be no difficulty about aid. Any
territory that faces a Communist

quite well when 1t comes to bor-
rowing from Uncle Sam.

Wheaton Ties 0ver-Anxious Barons
As League Race Remains damned
BY George Bragaw

Not much was settled last
Saturday in one of the hard
est hitting contests seen in
these parts in years, when a
determined Wheaton squad
tied much bigger Bethesda
Chevy Chase, II, before $500
on the Barons' home grounds.
The game had figured to cut
down the unbeaten teams in
the new Montgomery league to
three, with Wheaton probably
dropping by the wayside. How
ever, Wheaton, despite being on
the short side of the statistics,
came closer to victory than the
Barons in game played mostly
between the 30's.
Howard Walker who was
the Wheaton hero by splitting
the uprights in the first quarter
for the tying point, proved the
goat in the last quarter for fail
ing to stick to the sidelines on
his 16 yard run which reached
