pearances were needed to give
these hard-presSed people q
moral and mental lift and en-
courage them to continue the
fight. They assumed what they
considered their obligation to
provide such inspiration and
help. Too bad Jesse didn't see
fit to do the same.
But since he either lacked the
courage or conviction, Owens
elected to take pot shots at Rob-
inson and Patterson. It seems to
this writer that he should have at
least kept his trap shut and given
the venture a chance to succeed
as it did.
But once attacked, Jackie and
Floyd didn't have to go running to
the ranks of the sports greats
begging for help. Ralph Metcalfe,
another ex-Olympian and Owens
former track opponent, was among
those who rallied to their defense.
Metcalfe wholehearted supported
their participation with this state
ment: ANY persons who has
achieved success in any of the var
iouS fields of endeavor is entitled
to stimulate the people of Birm-
ingham to fight for their rights
they should have had years ago"
Another CALLING thing about
Owens criticism was that he in
cluded the biting barb that he
had not permitted himself to
be asked" to go to Birmingham.
In other words, he made certain
he wasn't invited. Yet he per-
mitted himself to be readily
questioned on the subject SO he
COuAu hLbfSCA ANODAuOOh tSAtu Il ~
tersOn. How chiValrouS!
AS stated earlier, this is not the
first time Owens has stuck his
foot in his mouth. Last year he
was taken to task by AMPS West
Coast correspondent L. I. Brocken-
bury, and this writer, for also crit
icizing Negro athletes for pulling
out of a Meet of Champions"
track meet in Houston, Texas, be-
cause of segregated seating ar
rangements.
Owens said then that the Negro
athletes should have stayed in the
meet because their performances
could best serve the cause Of dem
ocracy. His thoughts seemed to be
that bigots could be readily con-
verted by democratic actions. I
ask again, how naive can one get ?
Brock said then that Jesse was
living in the past" Apparently,
he still is.

Howdy Swingers! Another Weel
and some swing weather to boot
If this cline keeps up we might
start dropping a few puts again
OF course this doesn't apply tc
Keller however. Some Of US "soul
swingers" played it over the week
end and their greens are as rag
ged as a bowl of yakimae". Really.
I've never seen them so hard baked
and uneven. All Of us would have
had better luck with a billiard cue
on our puts. However, be that as
it may, the whole golf club is
slated to tee off at Keller Golf
Course, st. Paul, next Sunday at
IL am. It's our annual Club Cham
pionship and also a continuation
Of our current inter-club matches
at the same time. So sharpen up
your putters, etc. From the looks
of things this is going to be quite
a swingfest pops! OF course there
will be a gathering of the social
set after the club members finish
their rounds. Food and 10th hole
refreshments plus the many tales
of what might have been if that
certain or shot hadn't been missed.
Say, have you golfers noticed
the many green T.C.G.A. wind
breakers around the different
courses? Kinda nice eh? They
should really show next Sunday
when the whole clan gets together.
The insignias are on the way and
some time next week they should
arrive. All of you can get one for
your cap and pocket.

a few Of the stronger golfers
whose teams haven't come up to

has had 2 bad weekends so look
out for him any day now. Incident
ally fellas, turn in your weekly

of you are playing better than

lice the man gave her five $40 bills

gave it to him. He stepped to the

a 81 bill and said she had made a

She said she took the 81 bill and
gave him another 500 bill. When
she counted the cash in her draw

taking because they either lack

In a 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 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
malarky.
BY mOuthing this philosophy,
Owens is playing right into the
hands of the segregatiOnists.
They want '9Ocal 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
segregation 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 Connor's jails,
cheered them and told them I'VE

appeared at a local church rally.
