taxing because they either lack
Volve themselves.
In q sense, Nehru's remarks
may also be directed at former
Olympic track star Jesse Owens,
who, more than once, has cOun-
seled Negro athletes against
participating In direct action
protests against racial segrega-
ton.
Owens most recent criticism
was directed at baseball Hall of
Famer Jackie Robinson and ex-
heavyweight boxing champion
Floyd Patterson for going to Birm-
ingham to participate in the anti
segregation protests led by DR..
Martin Luther King, Jr. Owens
said at a sports banquet at Mead
owdale High school in Dayton,
Ohio, that he couldn't "see where
they're going to be of any great
help" because "they are not going
to live there, and you've got to
live there to understand the situa-
ton"
"All this was bad enough, but
then Jesse added that the integra-
ton fight in Birmingham should
be left to the people there, who
might find "the solution quicker"
How naive can one get?
I would like to remind Owens
(because I am sure he already
knows it), that the good colored
people" and good white people"
of Birmingham to whom he must
have been addressing his remarks
are helpless against the unjust
segregation laws and the rabid
racists of that city. Without the
so-called outside help" Of other
Negro and white persons as well
as civil rights organizations and
the federal courts, the foes of rae
ial injustice in Birmingham could
not change the status quo-which /
is to keep Negroes under heel.
The outmoded leave-it to the
local people" philosophy is sheer !
malarlky.
By mOuthing this philosophy,
Owens is playing right into the
hands Of the segregatiOnists.
They want '1Ocal Negroes" left
alone so they can continue to
dominate them and bend them to |
their evil designs. Jesse provided
first for their propaganda mills.
Owens, however, did much more
damage than that. By attacking |
Robinson and Patterson, he also
did his race a disserVice because
he might have dissuaded other
prominent athletes who look to
him as an example. And we all
know that participation by famous
athletes and entertainment per-
sonalities in direct-action, anti
campaigns is a tre-
mendous boost to the morale Of
less fortunate Negroes who must
carry on the day-to-day struggle.
Doesn't Owens consider this i'm
portant?
Jesse may not believe that
Jackie and Floyd needed to go to
Birmingham, but Negroes do. More
than 1000 persons, many Of them
Fresh from Bull Connors jails,
cheered them and told them I'VE

Willie Dawson, a young speed
ster from Memphis, Tennessee,
celebrated his 10th birthday four
days late by running the 1OO-yard
dash in 9.4 to tie the school boy
record first set by Jesse Owens
in 1888. Willie has been competing
for only two years, he was ham
pered last season by a leg injury.
A couple more fellows we will
soon be seeing in the big leagues
are Don Buford and Tommie Agee.
Don, a 26 year old third base
man for Indianapolis Of the Inter-
national League has been getting
on base at a rapid pace. Don is per-
fectly happy just hitting singles,
once on base he Is a constant
threat to steal.
Five years ago he was an all
conference halfback for Southern
California.
Indianapolis is a Chicago White
Sox farm club.
Tom Agee is a 20 year old out
fielder who is performing for
Charleston of the Eastern League.
Tom has the fans excited about
his play in the field. His coaches
are working on his hitting.
The Cleveland Indians paid Tom
what is probably the highest bonus
ever shelled out for a Negro ball
player. The figures roughly are
from 100000 to $4,000.

bring something like eight boys

battle the Golden Gophers on Sep

The Cornhuskers can turn loose
Willie Ross a fine halfback, also
Henry Woods of Midland, Texas,

Across the line they will have Tony
Jeter, a 6-3, 21O pound end from

land, Ohio, Gene Young, a 6-2,
220 pound, senior also from Cleve-

The Cornhuskers look formid-

Damascus
ReSoning
Is Revived

A once rejected requeSt
for a 14.7-acre commercial
district in the Damascus bus.
mess area will be reinitiatec
by the County Council soor
in a resolution which will sci
a public hearing on the new
request for Feb. u.
Councilmen approved mo
ton to write the resolution al
Tuesdays regular meeting in g
move which will put the recon
ing application on the Councils
docket as an entirely new piece
of business.
To clear the way for this &C
ton, the Council formally de.
MED an application for rehear.
ing on the original request. The
Democratic Council of last year
voted So to deny the rezoning
request.
James Trimm, an assistant
county attorney, recommended
that the Council initiate the new
rezoning request rather than
approving rehearing as such.
He indicated such an action
would put the Council in bet
ter legal position in case the
Councils final decision Is ap-
pealed.
The Council ordered the fill.
ing of the new application this
week after pOstpOning n de-
cisiOn on arguments for and
against the motion for rehear-
ing presented before Council
men week ago.
Councilmen decided against
taking any formal action then
since two members of the Coun-
Gil, President John A. Floyd and
Jerry Williams, were absent.
The original request for the
commercial zone was brought
by the land owner, James c.
Dulin, former Washington bank
er and national treasurer of
Goodwill Industries. Through
his attorney, Dulin has said he
is ready to begin development
of the site into a shopping dis
trict as soon as the coming ma
ter is settled.
Last years Council rejection
of the request came over the
recommended approval given by
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The M-NCPPC staff, however,
had recommended rejection of
the application.
In arguments last week, Du-
Inns attorney, Robert McClos-
key, commended that Damascus
is projected as a small city of
10000 to $1,000 citizens in the
next few decades.
Attorney Joe Blocher, repre-
senting opponent Joseph Papier-
meister, Damascus druggist,
said sewage disposal is a major
problem in building such a CEN
ter and that there hasn't been
any change in previously devel-
oped facts to warrant a new
hearing.
