A Congressman today re-
vealed that he was an eye-wit-
ness to Fridays shooting of q
motorist by a Washington po-
liceman after q high-speed
chase on Capitol Hill.
Representative Harrison, Re-
publican Of Wyoming, disputed
the statement Of the circum-
stances given by the policeman
who wounded the man. The
Congressman gave his account
of the shooting to District po-
lice today.
Saw Scuffle
Representative Harrison told
The Star that he did not see

the driver as described in the

Rail Unions
Appeal Denied
Carriers Upheld
By Supreme Court
BY DANA BULLEN
star staff Writer

The Supreme Court today up
held the right Of the Nations
railroads to eliminate so-calleo
featherbedding practices.
The 80 ruling raises the
possibility of a Nationwide
rail strike by unions who OBJ
ject to the changes, but not
within the next two months.
Without hearing arguments,
the court summarily upheld a
lower court ruling in favor of
the railroads. The proposed
work rule changes, it has been
estimated, would lop off an
$1,000 jobs.
An unsigned opinion said
that the railroads and the
unions have exhausted statu-
tory procedures for reconcil-
ing their differences and that
under these circumstances the
parties ARE relegated to self
help in adjusting this dispute.
Board May Be Appointed
The courts opinion, in which
Justice Goldberg took no part,
noted that there still may be the
appointment Of a presidential
emergency board, whose activ-
ity could prevent either work
rule changes or a rail strike
for at least go days.
The railroads claim that un-
necessary jobs cost the carriers
1892 million a year. The unions
contend that existing work
rules-and the jobs they pro-
vide-are necessary for safe,
train operation.
Five operating unions repre-
senting about 10000 men filed
suit when the carriers an
nounced that new work rules
would be put into effect. A
Federal District Court dis
missed the unions suit. ruling
that both sides had exhausted
procedures available under the
Railway Labor Act and were
free to resort TO self-help in the
dispute.

tering, fear, to the turbulence he
boasts of. The British empire was
won mainly by Irishmen, Scotch
men an n tive allies, and the
American empire, at least in large
part. by Frenchmen and Span
iards. Moreover, neither gre t
enterprise cost any appreciable
amount of blood; neither presented
grave and dreadful risks; neither
exposed the conqueror to the
slightest danger of being made the
conquered. The British won most
of their vast dominionS without
having to n d up in single
battle against a civilized and for
midable foe, and the Americans
won their continent at the expense
of a few dozen puerile skirmlshes
with savages. The total cost of
conquering the whole area from
Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate
and from Lake G. Gorge to the
Everglades, including even the
cost of dr. ing out the French,
Dutch, English and Spaniards, was
less than the cost of defending
Verdun.
So far as I can make out there
is no ecord in history Of any
Anglo-Saxon nation entering upon
any great war without allies. The
French have done it, the Dutch
have done it, the Germans have
done it, the Japs have done it, and
even such inferior nations as the
Danes, the Spaniards, the Beers
and the Greeks have done it, but
never the English or Americans.
Can you imagine the United States
resolutely facing a war in which
the odds against it were as huge
as they were G a n st Spain IN
1898? The a c is of history are
wholly against any u ch fancy.

realize that our problem is not one
of race, but of racism; anti
Americanism; and that this prob
lem affects every American re-
CARELESS of fermentation.
How can the necessary COM
munication, the dialogue, be estab-
lished? Can it ever be established
as long as truths offend the
whites? The Negroes? How can
these two blocks of humanity keep
from crashing into one another?
1 have pondered this until I
dream of it at night. In one of the
dreams I drew up a 265 point pro-
gram. AS / finished tipping it, a
delegation of men from the xxx
and the White Citizens Councils

woman from a venerable Lineage
society called on me. We discussed
humanity and justice. The woman
finally spat out in distaste: "But
they breed just like animals" In
my dream l answered: "And just
how do you breed, Madam" Then
I presented my 265 point program.

perpetuates a monetary system
which beggars both.
The other statement was printed
in the Birmingham News, of Sep
TENDER 20, 1948. 1t stated:
The states Fighters had taken
UP the battle cry of states rights
and claim to be the defenders of
the individuals liberty and free
dom. Actually the real issues are
entirely different. Their pro-
testations against civil rights and
for states r i g h S are merely a
camouflage to cover their real
purposes. The bolt has been led by
coalition of entrenched re-
dictionaries who are primarily in
terested in maintaining the privi-
lodged stations. Their stranglehold
upon the politics of their respect
i've states has been challenged and
seriously endangered by the sweep
of a liberal movement across the
South that is interested in pro-
gress and the development of our
resources. The reactionaries have
seized upon the strategy of stirring
up prejudice and fomenting racial
strife as a b lind to their real
purposes"
Also, there is a statement from a
much older source, Psalm 4, to be
exact. 1t seems almost as if this
passage could be the South today,
as she sadly observes her white
citizens and asks:
How long will you love vain
words and seek after lies; 0 men,
how long shall my honor suffer
shame?"
Sincerely,
Norman L. Fitzpatrick.

/ am is safely white, Nordic, Prot
estant and blond. Thus I feel free,
without risk of venturing into bad
taste, to regard frankly the sol
disant Anglo-Saxon of this incom-
parable Republic and his rather
less dubious cousin of the Mother
land. How do the two appear to
me, after years spent largely in
accommodating their disfavor, What
are the characters that | discern
most clearly in the so-called
Anglo-Saxon type of man? / may
answer at once that two stick out
above all others. One is his Curl
Gus and apparently incurable in
competence - his congenial in
ability to do any difficult thing
easily and well, whether it be
isolating a bacillus or writing a
sonata. The other is his astound-
ing susceptibility to fears and
alarms-in short, his hereditary
cowardice.
To accuse so enterprising and
SucceSSful' a race of coWardlce, OF
course, is to risk immediate de-
rision: nevertheless, / believe that
fair minded examination of its
history will bear me out. Nine
tenths of the great fears OF
derring-do that its stockings are
taught to venerate in school-that
is, it's feats as a race, not the
isolated exploits of its extra
ordinary individuals, most of them
at least partly of other stocks
have been wholly lacking in even
the most elementary gallantry.
Consider, for example, the events
attending the extension of the two
great empires, English and Ameri-
can. Did either movement evoke
any genuine courage and resolu-
ton? The answer is plainly no.
Both empires were built up
primarily by swindling and butch
ering unarmed savages, and after
that by robbing weak and friend
less nations. Neither produced a
hero above the average run of
those in the movies; neither ex-
posed the folks at home to any
serious danger of reprisal. Almost
always, indeed, mercenaries have
done the Anglo-Saxon's fighting
for him-a high testimony to his
common sense, but scarcely flat

nings of the A me rican Civil
Liberties Union and of the in
itiative of this one man in the
organization of its sou h er n
California branch. They will find
first-hand counts of the
struggles to reform the political
tone of a state, of a dedicated
attempt to exemplify purity OF
health: tracts on the ravages OF
alcoholism, the o w i n g of
special, healthful diets. T h S e
younger readers will be intrigued
with tales of conferences with
U. S. Presidents, of 1uncheons with
Presidential investigators, and of
other such men in high places who
wished that people like Upton
Sinclair would mind h e ir own
business. In short, they will find
one mans own account of the fight
for social justice as he has seen it
and participated actively in it for
sixty-odd years.
For these readers, too, it is in
teresting to hear one man relate
stories of his acquaintance with
many other eminent persons in
various walks of life: A b e r t
Einstein, William Fox, L n ! n
Steffens, William ] m es, John
Dewye; Sinclair Lewis, Theodore
Dresser, and others. And, running
through the account of the various
campaigns of his career, is the
personal story of an unfortunate
early marriage and h a It of a
second, very successful marriage
between the socialist muckraker
and the daughter of a Mississippi
judge.
AS all of us (including Upton
Sinclair) know, he is a crusader:
a crusader unabashed and un-
ashamed. His numerous books ex-
emplify this, and his autobiography
is an interesting story of the con-
ditions and processes which pro-
duced some of these books. 1t is

white man should not ask, ''Do
you want your daughter to marry
Negro?" A white man, Baldwin
says, should specify that he means
daughters he has had by his white
wife, Because, Gentlemen, we've
been marrying your daughters for
/ generations"
Another point of misunder-
standing that / encounter more
and more frequently is a good
whites bewilderment that when
he smiles and acts 'brotherly," a
Negro does not fall on his should
ers grateful to have a Great White
Buddy. In many Negroes ex-
perience, a white man who is i'm
mediately and overtly friendly
usually wants something - for a
Negro to share his wife or his girl
friend Or to get him a date with
a Negro woman. Even worse,
Negroes are offended to see that
they are being 'loved" because of
their pigment, racial discrimina-
ton as offensive as any other.
There is SOLDERING schism now
in Negro leadership. Young
Negroes are revolving against the
established leadership. Two years
ago, the Black Muslin movement
could m k no Roadway in the
South, because southern Negroes
still had some illusions. Today, the
advocates of non-violent resistance
are losing grou n to the black
racists. This can be attributed to
one cause-Negroes' loss of hope
that white men will ever throw off
the chains of racism that they will
ever do the right thing. A year
go, on a national radio program,
l condemned the Black Muslin
movement as an evil that perpe-
trated the very racism from which
the Negro in America has suffered
SO terribly. This year, with the
rapid growth of such hate-meve-
ments all over the us, the same
holds true; but we must look to
causes, frankly face the fact that
we are driving many Negroes to
desperation, and admit that they
resisted long long time before
they C d e d to withdraw from
furth er participation in the
American dream.
This withdrawal is not yet
stampede but it is one of the large
lines of the movement, one that
we are doing little to help correct.
We are still telling Negroes that
they must "earn" their rights.
This makes no sense when they see
that Ph.D.'s are denied, because of
augmentation, rights that we I'M
hesitatingly accord even the most
d egrad &c white. We are still
talking about Americanism and the
great principles Of democracy even
as we wi t n S the spread of
regionalism and sectionalism and
the growth of prejudice throughout
the nation. This was nicely sum-
med up in letter from Minister
of God d DIRE ID to "Ralph
(Rastus) McGill' recently. The
minister said: II am Mississip-
plan first, a Southerner second, an
American third" Presumably, he
was a Christian fourth. To Dor
row a phrase from p D. East, this
Christian is ass-backwards in his
values.

 Mrs. Larionoff was brought to Griffin Memorial hospital for treat ment by the Coast Guard.
 She told officials the accident took place when she struck the rifle which was leaning against some boxes while she was sweep ing with broom.
