“Then he cursed me anc

“One of the.men

Fhe said she did not learn
the names of the officers. Hos¬
pital officials said she will not
lose the s'ght ol either eye
both of which were swollen

j the Republican party plat-
fi rm for 1948 is the usual am-
biglous document that pops up
every four years. When the

parent.

the minds of most persons,
uedy became cauic 100 fxcucu
the c.v 1 rights b planks y in the
platform.
A typical remark concerning
the plank camp from a man in
ilie lobby of the Bcllvuc-Strat*
ford hotel:
■This just about the same
thing they said in 44. I guess
we can only hope that if
«A.e elected they will do some-
,hing about these things this
lime.”
This seems to be thc hopeful
attitude of all loyal Republi-
cans and the disgusted attitudes
oi their opponents.
This year’s platform
a lot of rights, but it was made
without the help of any Ne¬
groes on the committee. It
condemns ‘ 7. lynching, f the
tax , and the idea of segiegation
in the armed forces. It calif
! for legislation against lynching
d legislaUon t0 pro mote the
“right of equal opportunity to
work and advance in life.”
A sidelight to the convention
was the 50-man A- Philip Ran-
* picket line around con-
j headquarters- real They civil
dema a a
rights program which would
include’ some action against
0 “ £
: al aid to education, a franchise
i to the District of Columbia,
statehood lor Hawaii, Alaska
and Puerto Rico and restriction
uf membership in congress to
slates which keep large groups
of citizens from voting.

him as the man who let tin
bill that would provide an in¬
tegrated national guard for his
state die- They seem to fee)
that he promotes civil rights
action only when he is able to
do so.
The support for Warren is
Questionable. No FEPC law?
have been passed in his state
California. His stand on civil
rights seems to be an unknown
quantity.
Gov. Dewey has had to face
problems and situations in re¬
gard to Negroes and other mi-
nority groups, and he has had
some “friends” who told him to
go easy” on backing wider op¬
portunities and rights for Ne-
groes, if he desired to “go
places” politically- The record
shows that he has, neverthe-
less, backed and signed legis¬
lation for fair employment and
outlawing discrimination in ed¬
ucational institutions based on
race, creed or color- Indeed
he supported the first state
FEPC bill and the first state
fair education bill.
Judging from his past rec¬
ord, Negroes should get a “lift”
knowing that, if the Republi¬
cans win the presidency, the
race will still have a friend in
the White House after January,
1949.
But, the presidency is more
remote than the governorship
and Negro leadership will have
to sec that Oov. Dewey
not forget Negroes as he be
comes involved in the maize
world problems. More impor¬
tant, Negroes must do
they can to insure that
men who will be advising him
and who will run the
ment, are not cast in the moulds
too different from Dewey so |
far as the rights of Negroes are |
concerned.
For instance, Pennsylvania 1
Negroes. . sighed with alarm'
when they recoguuea me fav-
orable spot into which Senator
Edward Martin had maneuver¬
ed himself when he released
delegates pledged to him as a
“favorite son” to Gov. Dewey
48 hours before the balloting
for the candidate-
Pennsylvanians are afraid
that Sen. Martin may be re
warded with the secretary ol
delcnsc or the secretaryship ol
the army, since he has been 0
mfl.tary man all his life. Both
as state adjutant and gover-
nor of Pennsylvania, Senatoi
Martin refused to admit Nc
; rocs into the Pennsylvania
National Guard, to. mesnri th“
buck, he blamed the fedora'
government, he ignored pleas l
'
?“es ^ l
L ‘ He remained I
ln kceplng the Pc nn-
. National Guard lily- j
white. ,
Pennsylvanians kre very much
. fraid that if Martin becomes
-nportant in federal defense
the Negro will meet now ob¬
stacles in his attempt to abolish
jim crow in the armed forces
Negroes have not overlooked
DewCy » s prowess as an admin
' in
lslrat or and of his success
' running the largest state "
In the nomination of Dewey
i lone of t ,u the delegates who who back
ed Now y or k governor, ii
Q , Tafl domination cf the
delegation, was Atty. Ches-
ler Gillespie of Cleveland. When
the Ohio delegation was polled
Gillespie shouted: “I am no
ashamed to be counted votinr
for Gov. Dewey.”
Participating in the ballotin',-'
was Albert Reading, deputy
rheriff of Chester, Pa., who a?
an assistant reading cleik
helped to call the names of the
delegations to ascertain how
they were voting.
On Wednesday evening the
Rev. Arthur Payne, pastor of
Enon Baptist church, Balti¬
more, seconded the nomination
of Gov. Dewey, while Roscoe
Cnklln Simmons of Chicagi
seconded Taft. On the second
day of the convention (Tues¬
day) one of thc opening pray¬
ers was given by Bishop A. P
Shaw, Methodist bishop ol
Baltimore.
White Doubts
Sincerity Of
contmmd from page one
on this one. The 80th Congress,
with a Republican majority ir
each house, passed no civi
rights legislaUon, he said.
“They came into power in
jj946,” he said, "with majorities
in both houses of Congress
and they did absolutely nothin '
to fulfill their pledges.
“We have told the platform
committee that if they arc
planning to repeat their per
forme nee it will result in in
creased opposition of Negroe:
against the Republican party
He added that the NAACP
would not endorse any politi
cal party, but would only ap
praise the platforms of each
of the three parties- He is in
Kansas City for the annua
meeting of the NAACP.
