We would here again point out that our knowledge
OF the Communist scheme to use the Negro issue to
stir confusion and tension in the United States as

based on the fact that one among relative

the State of Mississippi the key to the of
their plan Looking to the state to furnish the kind of
incidents that could be used as Communist propaganda
and thus bring about the rejection of America and Amer
lean democracy by the coored people, black yellow and
brown, who make up the vast majority of the world
population Already too many of the incidents looked

There is little doubt here now that

Injunction In
Federal Court

Cincinnati - The United States
Court Of Appeals, sixth circuit, last
week ordered a district Judge in
Memphis to grant a preliminary in
junction to prevent eviction Of sew
eral hundred Negro sharecroppers
from their rented land in Haywood
county, Tenn.
The Civil Rights Division of the
Justice Department had asked for
the injunction on the grounds the
landowners were refusing to renew
contracts with the sharecroppers
because the Negroes registered to
vote in the 1860 election.
The appeals court previously had
issued a temporary restraining or
der to prevent termination Of the
contracts.
Send Case Back
In its order last week it sent
the case back to the District court
in Memphis with instructions for
Judge Marion s. Boyd to issue the

grounds he could not interfere with
