So. Africa's Need: Solution To
White Supremacy Problems
Acceptable To All Groups

Los Angeles CAMP - 1t is the
considered opinion of DR.. Zachar-
las ]. DeBeer, chairman of South
Africa's Progressive Party, that
the Republic of South Africa must
negotiate a solution of its white
supremacy racial problems salts
factorily to all groups concerned,
if the country is to avoid an ex-
plosion.
DR.. DeBeer made this statement
during a press interview held in
the local Biltmore hotel recently.
According to the South African
leader, There are three pressures
building up which fill force a neg
otiated settlement. These are in
ternal unrest, external hostility
because of apartheid, and clear
signs of an economic rundown
since South Africa left the Brit
ish Commonwealth of Nations"
He added that his party stands
between the extremists on both
sides. He further felt that a solu
ton might be reached in two-level
voting and social indignation where
it is desired.

Three Negroes
Elected To Office
In Louisville, PN,

Louisville, Ky
Republicans made history at
their Inaugural ceremonies last
week when they swore in two Ne
gro Aldermen and Page. Stimuli
taneously, the City's first Negro
Prosecuting Attorney was named
to Police Court. At the next ses-
sion of The Kentucky General AS
sembly, a Negro woman, Mrs.
Amelia Tucker will take her seat
in the House of Representative
the first elected in the South since
reconstruction.
Significantly, Republicans are
somewhat repeating their Ken
lucky Political history. In 1886,
they sent the first Negro in the
South to a State Legislature - the
Late Charles w. Anderson, Jr. In
1915 they elected the first Louis
vile Negro Alderman, the late Eu-
gene Clayton.
Prime credit for party recogni-
ton is due to the fact that the city
and county Republican Executive
Committee has three Negro men,
bers. Through the years they have
consistently sponsored Negro can
didates.

to time, as Brud Holland, Levi
Jackson and Johnny Bright, just
to name three, were the victims
of having too much visibility in
skin fermentation.
1t seems ironic that the honor
comes at a time when tan athletes
had at least three of the top as
pirants. Davis was pushed by Bob
Ferguson, Ohio States outstanding
fullback. Another solid contender
was Sandy Stephens, Minnesota's
fine triple threat quarterback.
Not to take anything away from
the 212-pound Orange half-back,
both Ferguson and Stephens would
have made enviable recipients of
the trophy.
To use quibbIing, though, since
Davis won it.
This is certainly one of the
happiest days in my. life" he said.
His credentials for winning the
honors certainly were impressive.
In leading Syracuse to a 7-to-3
season, he broke four records es-
tabHshed by another Orangeman,
the great Jimmy Brown, now of
the Cleveland Browns.
New career marks at Syracuse
set by Davis included rushing
1885,, total yards C3,414, scor-
ing C22O points, and touchdowns
(35).
A product of Uniontown, Pa,
and Elmira, NY, Davis was an
all-around athlete in high school.
At Syracuse, he skipped other
sports his sophomore season, but
last year he turned out for basket
ball after the cage coach sent him
an sos. When Bowl competition
is over he expects again to turn
10 DdShGlDdll.
When the Heisman award win
ner was announced, Orange coach
Ben Schwartzwalder said:
I'VE knew he was the best foot
ball player in the United States.
We're very happy everyone else
agrees with u.s."
Davis was sure to be a high
draft choice when the National
Football league coaches and own
ers met this week in Chicago. He
already was the first draft choice
In a secret poll conducted by
American Football League owners.
George Preston Marshall, owner
of the Washington Redskins, who
has been under fire for not using
tan talent, promised earlier this
year that Davis would be his first
choice. Washington, without a VIC
tory in NIL competition this year,
will have the first pick.
Davis terrific speed made him
a dangerous pass receiver as we'll
as runner. He also was a strong
defensive performer.
