made history with the Whip,

kyrocketed throughout Ameri¬
ca, as the "leader of his peo¬

Came the day when Solomon
■raved expansion for the Whip,
which had now outgrown its
leadquarters in the hole,
noved to more palatial sur-
oundings. Thought he, "If I

investment and the Whip would
become the most formidable

America.”
Solomon o i _____ got dQwn tQ ... b ----
ness. He travelled the State of
Florida, selling stock here and
there- He encountered little
difficulty convincing Negro
leaders l/hat ’their investment
was the ne plus ultra of the
tiipes. Bv July 13, 1946, the
Whip was a going corporation
with a regular bank account.
But, the monies obtained
through the sale of stock
lot all used for expansion pur-
poses. Other pressing obliga-
tions had to be met, and, of
course, the money gave out.
Then came the era of
;ial complexities. Checks bounc-
ed back frequently and credi-
iors became less tolerant. Trou-
ble was brewing as the
•leared the rapids of bankrupt-
'y, and the courts appointed a
•eceiver to manage the
if the company, thinking it to
ae the best way out-
At first, Solamon bolted at
the idea of working under a
white receiver. He wasn’t long.
however, in changing his mind,
and his white attorney, Gerson
Blatt, backed him to
amount of several hundred dol-
’ars, to put out an edition of
1 magazine, “Bronze Diary,
formerly published under the
;itle of Bronze on essions.
But again the sli p oumeied
■among the shoals of finance
and the hull sprung another
leak This time it had to be
abandoned and Captain Solo-
non was the last to leave
But Solomon came ac' 01
nore. He summoned the stock-
holders to a meeting. Agau
he related to them the P ossl
bilities of printing the nmga-
■ine, Bronze confessions He
asked of them two things
First, d ssolve the receivership
which then existed and next,
orivilege hm to manage the af¬
fairs of the then defunct com¬
pany, withoout interference oi
any kind, for at least a year or
wo. To this proposition, the
stockholders, not all of them
agreed, and again Solomon was
at the helm, but without one
of the stockholders mon-
ey to operate with. It didn t
Mr. Solomon long to find
out that he could not publish
a magazine without sufficient
funds, and his third empire
venture capitulated.
Then came July 7 Then the
toU 1 of 26 points. High jump,
long jump, pole vault,
the weight and running were
the main events. Interest in
athletics among the West Af-
rican people is rising steadily
and it is hoped that the Gold
Coast and Nigeria will soon be
to compete in internation-
al and Olympic competitions-
The picture shows, top left:
I auctioneer’s gavel, and
E. Garrison, who had made a
personal loan to Mr. Solomon
of $2,50C, long before the Whip
was incorporated. Mr. Garrison
took over the physical remains

intention of again selling it to
the next highest bdder.

against the bill declared he
could forsee a government ”ad-
ministered by robots” as a re-
suit of this bill Thoughtful and
able people will be driven from ;
the federal service,” he cried,
as “anyone who has original
ideas will leave the government
for fear he’ll be charged with
subversive thoughts.”
After Kefauver’s motion to
send the bill back to the com¬
mittee was defeated, he insist¬
ed in vain that an employe who
is ordered fired on loyalty
charges be permitted to appeal
to the U. S- Court of Appeals.
"This bill doesn’t give fed¬
eral workers as much legal pro¬
tection as the Nazis who were
tried at Nurnberg,” charged
the Tennessee congressman.
In the debate which lasted
four hours, Chairman Rees of
the House civil service commit¬
tee and Rep. Almond <D., Va.J
took turns in defending the
bill- Congressman Reese said
the bill followed federal prac¬
tices of long standing in that
no accused employe could ap¬
peal to courts or face or cross-
examine his accuser.
The three provisions blasted
by opponents were the sections
which Would permit the attoi-
ney general to list organiza¬
tions he believes to be subver¬
sive; the one which causes a
federal worker to be fired if
j there is any “reasonable
doubt” as to his loyalty, and
the one which would cause any
employe to be fired who has a
“sympathetic association”

group.
