HUDDLESTON BLASTS USIA
FILM DISPARAGING SOUTH

presented at a State Depart
ment Seminar on foreign policy
for several hundred members of
the communications m d i a
from over the Nation a few
days ago. The film, called
Give Cities in June" is des-
cribed by some of those who
saw it as a handsomely pro-
duced movie which, except for
one sequence, might be worth
while. The one sequence which
is so distorted concerns the ra-
cial problems of the Nation.
According to the film, the
War between the States twas
fought and won for Negro equal
ity." AS even any amateur his
torian knows, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States
who directed the Unions war
time activities, said both before
and during the conflict that the
purpose of the war was to pre-
serve the Union. The question
of equal rights was not at issue,
nor was the social mixing of
the races in accord with Lin
coins beliefs.
The film goes on to say that,
despite the outcome of the War
between the States, some of
those states who were on the
losing side of the War have tried
since then, to retard the prog
ress of the Negro in his desire
for a bigger role in our society.
In addition to this gross dis
tortion of facts of history, as
regards the purpose of the Civil
War, this USIA film contains
other misinformation. 1t hints
that the controversy over the
1854 Brown case decision of the
Supreme Court has recently re-
suited in mob disorder and vio-
lence only in the South; the
situation at the University of
Alabama in Tuscaloosa last
summer is that which is shown
on film in connection with this
point. Utterly ignored are the
demonstrations, riots, and other
public disorders which have oc-
Cured in almost every major
city, and many smaller ones,
north of the Mason-Dixon Line,
both this year and in previous
years.
In other words, the film would
have the viewer believe that ra-
cial problems are located only
in the South and that the recall
citrant Southerner is the cause
of the problem of the day.
The third peculiar and Who'll
ly unacceptable point made by
this film of the USIA, sched-
uled to be shown around the
world, is that the United States
Government upholds what is
termed the most sacred request
of free men: "their most sac
red right is for freedom Of
choice. To bypass all pre-
judice z. to live as they want
to live to worship where
they want to worship and
to go where they want to CO."
The film should have said, if
it wanted to be truly accurate,
that the Government recognizes
this sacred right" of freedom
of choice for all except those
white Southerners, and for 9TH
ers who feel similarly, who do
not chose to mingle on a So
cial basis with members of the
Negro race. For it is quite OBJ
vious that, with each passing
week, the Federal Government |
makes more and more attempts
to see to it that those who sin
cerely oppose integration have
no freedom of choice as to |
where they want to live, as to
where they want to worship and
as to whom they will associate |
with.
We have come to a sorry pass

UTILITY
JOSEPH H. ALBRIGHT

Democracy, as it relates to
governmental operations, is the
most beneficent of all political
PHILOSOPHERS in existence today
and it's basic strength lies
in the privilege of participation
by the qualified voters in cleo
tions to choose who shall govern
the populace and construct the
laws by which order, progress
and development shall be main
tained. We Americans live un-
der such government of choice.
1t has been said that the basic
difference between free men and
slaves lies in the possession OF
this political choice the bal
lot.
Every reader of this column
knows something of the almost
unbelievable sacrifice that has
been made in order that we can
go to the polls and cast our
votes. The history books are
filled with the saga of the long,
bloody road which has been ira
versed to make this sacred right
possible. This sacrifice has
made the ballot box a precious
possession, and one that must
never be considered of less i'm
portance than it is, for therein
lies the perpetuation of our
American freedom.
shall never forget what my
brother said to me on the day
pridefully went to the polls to
cast my first vote. "Never
throw your vote away" was his
solemn advice. always make
it count, remembering those
who have died in order that you
might have this privilege. Let
reason and common sense guide
you in making your choice, and
don't be swayed by emotion"
Politics is a cold, hard bust
ness. The victorious candidate
is obligated to those who made
his campaign success, and he
or she feels little disposition to
give consideration to those who
were opposed in the campaign.
1t will be a sorry political day
for Negroes if, when the ballot
boxes are tabulated in Negro
population areas and the discov-
cry is made that none Of us
were on the winning side. Moth
ing would or could please our
political enemies more than to
be able to point this out when
the votes are counted, and we
find ourselves skidding down
the road to political oblivion.
Mr.. Aaron Henry :. or any
one else who can meet the legal
requirements for filing has a
perfect right to run for public
office in Mississippi. I would
be among the very first to insist
upon this right being accorded
any man or woman who can
qualify. But l will voice my
opposition to any Campaign"
which asks Negro voters to
throw away their hard won vot-
ing rights in a futile, "protest"
attempt that can accomplish
nothing. "Straw votes" never
elected anybody to any office,
and they mean less than moth
ing in the political arena.
| want the next administra-
ton of this State to employ
more qualified Negroes, and to
give deeper consideration to the
just requests of the Negro tax
payers. I want to see a closer
bond of contact between our
selves and that administration.
But / know full we'll that none
of these things can be accomp-
lished by following a politician
"Pied Piper Of Hamelin" over
the cliffs Of futility.
Voting just to vote is a long
way from voting to accomplish
something Of consequence in the
political give-and-take.

sentative George Huddleston of
Alabama today took the floor
of the House of Representatives
to charge that a recent film of
the U. S. Information Agency
contains distortions of history
and disparagements of the
South. The film in question is
called Give Cities in June" and
is designed to promote the Unit
ed States in the foreign coun-
tries where it will be shown.
One of the five sequences
deals with race relations in the
U. S. and included film strips
of the University of Alabama
forced integration incident. Re-
liable sources reported to Hud-
dleston that this portion of the
filming contains three objection
al and erroneous points.
Said the Birmingham Con-
gresham, 81 am told that the
film, first of all, states that
the War Between the States
was fought to give the Negroes
of America equality. AS even
amateur historians know, Abra-
ham Lincoln, who lead the Un-
ions wartime activities, stated
that the purpose of the Civil
War was to preserve the Union.
The question of social equality
was not at issue and, in fact,
was not in accord with Lincoln's
own beliefs"
Huddleston also told the House
that the film indicated that the
Brown case decision of the Su-
preme Court of 1854 had caused
racial disorder only in the
South. utterly ignored are the
demonstrations, riots and other
public disorders which have oc-
Cured in every major city, and
many smaller ones, north of the
Mason Dixon Line both this
year and in previous years.
"But the bitterest part of the
film," said Huddleston, "is that
which states that the Federal
Government upholds the sacred
right of freedom of choice for
all Americans: "to live as they
want to live to worship
where they want to worship :.
and to go where they want to
gow
Remarked the Congressman:
"If the films message were
truly accurate, it would have
said that the Federal Govern
ment recognizes this sacred
right of freedom of choice for
all except those white Southern
ers, and others who feel SINH
larly, who who do not choose
to mingle on a social basis with
members of the Negro race"
He added that the trend of the
Government is to reduce this
right of choice for the white
Southerner week by week.
In addition to his speech on
the House floor, the Congress
man has directed a protest a.
bout the film to the director
of the u. S. Information Agen-
cy. Edward r. Murrow.
USIA FILM DISPARAGES
SOUTHERN PEOPLE
Mr.. Huddleston. Mr. Speaker,
I am deeply distressed to inform
the House that an agency of the
United States Government has
now Joined the ranks of intem-
perate and uniformed critics of
the South and her people. 1t is
difficult enough to take the
emotional rantings of sensa-
tional journalists, but still more
bitter to have to withstand false
characterizations by an agency
of the Federal Government
which is supposed to be the
Government of all the people.

CLIO B AL
PORT r AIT S
By LOU LuTOUR

"Global Portraits goes to San
Francisco, California today
where we salute Carlton B.
Goodlett, M. D., Ph. D., publish
er of the Sun Reporter who had
already proven himself a sue
cess in two professions by the
time he became interested in
the publication of weekly
newspaper.
Upon graduation from How
ard University in 1885, DR..
Goodlett decided to continue his
studies in the field of Psyche
logy and entered the graduate
school at the University of
California at Berkley. In 1893,
he was awarded the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy, at the age
of %.
He launched his first career as
a professor in the Department
of Psychology at West Virginia
State, where he became a fav-
orite teacher and staunch friend
to many of the students who
were his contemporaries in age.
Perhaps it was a feeling that
he was not fulfilling his deep
est desire that impelled him to
resign from the college and en-
ter Meharry Medical School. To
understand DR.. Goodlett's res
tiveness, it helps to know his
parents; Mr.. and Mrs. A. R.
Goodlett came to Omaha, Nebra-
ska q few years after Carlton
was born in Chipley, Fla. This
move was no doubt an express
sion of their burning desire to
better their own conditions and
also to provide wider and brigh-
ter opportunities for their child.
From his earliest years, observ-
ing his parents efforts and
concern, he became aware of the
necessity to "do something to
help his race"
When the thousands of Ne
groes began migrating to Cali
fornia in the World War II
years, DR.. Goodlett saw this
area becoming new frontier
for Americas minority groups.
In 1945 he opened his medical
office in San Francisco-the 3rd
Negro doctor to practice in this
city.
During this time, two weekly
publications The Sun and
The Reporter - were bravely
trying to provide a voice for the
new Californians. In 1948, these
two papers were merged with
DR.. Goodlett and DR.. Daniel A.
Collins, a dentist, as co-publish-
ers of The Sun-Reporter. With
the newspaper as a medium of
communication, DR.. Goodlett
was able to make more and more
people aware of the problems
that the Negro and other min
ority groups were facing in the
fast-growing West.
The passage of a non-segre-
gated ordinance affecting public
housing in 1949, the adoption of
Fair Employment Practices
Commission for the City of San
Francisco in 1858, symbolized
fruition of part of the publish
er's dream "to help his own
race"
The Sun-Reporter has kept as
one of it's major detectives -
fair representation of Negroes
in political life. Within the life
time of The Sun-Reporter, San
Francisco and the Bay Area
have seen Negroes elected and
appointed to responsible posi-
tions in local, affairs, but has
provided a widening of the hor-
lions of the local citizenry, for
example: the presentation OF
Tom Mboya, brilliant African
labor leader, in a public lecture,
May 8, 1859; Sir Adetokunbo
Ademola Chief Justice of the
Federal Supreme Court of Mig
eria in a public lecture and re-
ception, May %, 1859; the pre-
sentation of three local Negroes
