RESENTS CRISIS ATTACK ON PAUL ROBESON
Mr. Roy Wilkins, Editor, the
Crisis, NAACP Headquarters
20 West 40th Street
New York, N Y.
My Dear Roy:
I have remained silent as
long as I possibly can- Your
editorial about Robeson In the
May issue of the Crisis just
about hits bottom . . and as a
loyal- active member of the
NAACP I can no longer, with
self respect, refrain from vio¬
lent protest. I no longer feel
that you fellows do not deserve
violent condemnation.
It is my abiding conviction,
after having traveled practical¬
ly the country over • . at least
in the areas where the Negro
population is concentrated, and
after talking to hundreds of
Negroes, that the NAACP is no
longer best serving the people
whom it was organized to serve,
has been side tracked
i serving the very interests it
was organized to tight.
The NAACP has been
cst in its practices, in its
vention tactics, in Its publica-
lions, the Crisis, and in the
pronouncements of its
It has claimed that it was non-
political while it carried on a.
vigorous campaign for
Democratic Party. It
neled its speakers at its last na-
convention with an eye
U) S j >re ading Democratic
ty propaganda, while protesting
its lack of previous -knowledge
as to the text of these
ers, and it has used the
to further this propaganda for
the Democrats, and villify oth-
er parties.
Its National Officers have
, . " C T y !n
the virtues of f Truman and H
Democratic Party ’while they
vialenUy at/tacked
d Republican and Progres-
s j Ve parties, even to the extent,
() j jyj n g on Henry Wallace-
unfortunately the NAACP is
being used to destroy progres-
slve forces among the Negro
people and meanwhile your en
er gj es are being distracted from
your ; main goal of fighting dis¬
rUnlnaUon and segregation.
The people who put their
money, t\np. energy and laf-
fection into the NAACP do not
wish to contribute to that type
of activity-
It is inexcusable for a pub-
l'cation 1 ke the Crisis to be
i.uilty of failing to avail itself
of the ascertainable^ truth and
repeating a mls-quotation so
s to enable them to write the
kind of editorial that satisfies
the party of its allegiance. This,
of course, is the evil that those
who opposed the policy of the
NAACP becoming a tool of the
Party, or any oth¬
er party for that matter, as it
has, hoped to have avoided.
Roy, thc Negro people have
so many battles to fight on so
many fronts, and we so badly
need unified action, that I for
one, deeply deplore the Negro
being more widely divided by
the organization that should
serve him as an agency of un¬
ity.
Of course, your editorial is
simply factually not true.
The true quotation as surely
must have come to your at¬
tention both from the Associ¬
ated Press (Parts) and the As¬
sociate Negro Press (Paris) fur-
THE SAVAHHAH TRIHtOT
nish absolutely no foundation
for the statement that

body or that he claimed the
Negro wouldn’t fight Russia.
Robeson gave up his concert,
radio, and stage career for al¬
most a year to go out and sing
and . fight . . for , ,, the common
pie Even school vnknni children
-know that fact.
Your attack on the Council
on Airican Affairs strikes
as strictly low brow-
To say that Robeson has
none except sentimental roots
among American Negroes or
that with his tremendous tal-
ent and charms he could have

the lack of willingness to face

why the NAACP would award
the Splngarn Medal to one
with none except sentimental
roots among American Negroes.

Fresh Pears are Ideal Fruit
For Packed School Lunches
By BETTY BARCLAY
!i Packed lunches take on now in
terest for school children and
workers when fresh pears are in¬
cluded. They add a juicy freshness
which is welcomed during winter
months when many of the favorite
fruits are absent from the market.
* Fresh pears are coming onto the
markets now in quantities from the
fertile orchards of pear growers in
Oregon, Washington and California.
So popular have the varieties be¬
come. that pears, which are on the
market during the winter months,
are sold fresh in greater quantities
than Bartlotts, including those for
borne canning.
The Bose, the fall russet pear. Is
| first to make its appearance on the
market, following soon after the
Bartlett and other summer varieties
arq marketed. Next in line is the
Anjou, followed by the Comice and
iNelis, completing the cycle for fresh
pears on the market the year
’round.
Pears have so many uses for out-
[use jof hand for eating. school lunches Beside the and popular packed
(lunches for workers, fresh pears
/are good served as a breakfast fruit
or a lunch dessert. They make an
attractive buffet piece when dis¬
played in your prettiest bowl, and
fare ready at all times for the pick-up. after
school snack or mid-meal
, As a bedtime snack, they have a
I special appeal for they are refresh¬
without giving high caloric
count before retiring. Keep fresh
pears ready for out-of-hand eating
at all times.

formal admission of colored
students to' the university with¬
out equal educational opportu¬
nity inside the university is in
fact hardly different from re¬
fusing them admission in the

luscious sweetness, pears are no
high in calories, averaging 7
calories apiece. This is a definit
advantage to those who want satis
value. tying food that is low in calori^ j
Unlike many other fruits, th'f
color of pears is not always ait
indication of ripeness. A simpl/1
way to determine ripeness is by
the “touch test". When the peait
flesh yields to gentle pressure. o|
the thumb or finger, they are ready
to be chilled for eating. Most
markets have pears conditioned or
pre-ripened before placing them out
for sale, but if the pears at your
store are more firm than is desired
for eating, they may be ripened by
allowing them to remain at room
temperature a day or two. As
soon as they become ready foj
eating, they should be placed in Lha
refrigerator to hold them.
To show market the popularity during the of wintet pearsj
on the doubled
months, production has
during the past eight years.
Growers continue to improve tht
quality of pears, and through th^
work of the Oregon Washington
California Pear Bureau a program
of conditioning and pre-ripeninq
has been sponsored so pears now
come to market ready to use. Theso
improved pears have little resem*
hi a nee to the hard pears of yestet'
years, but are creamy white*

-at _
Daytona Beach, Fla., (ANP)—
Dr Q Lamar Harrison, presi¬
dent of Langston University,
Langston, Oklahoma, and one
of the first outspoken oppon¬
ents of southern regional edu¬
cation admitted that the plan
may hav^ its good points, if
Negroes will make the most of
it.
“I still am opposed to region¬
al schools or any other schools
that foster segregation,” he
said firmly. “I urge equality
of education to all regardless
of race. I contended at first
that non-interference with the
segregated pattern of educa¬
tion in the south would sim¬
ply perpetuate that pattern.
But in the meantime the Uni
iversity of Oklahoma and Ok¬
lahoma A. and M college have
been required by law to open
their doors to Negroes- At the
same time they endorsed the
regional plan so I have to
mit that they were as good as
their word when they said their
plan was not designed to keep
Negroes out of the white state
schools.
“I still insist that under the
regional plan the schools be
operated so that a Negro will
be a first class citizen. That’s
what is happening in Oklaho¬
ma now. Some 26 Negroes have
applied to thc University of
Oklahoma for summer school.
“I was opposed to the plan
in the beginning and I said
so openly when Gov Caldwell
came to Oklahoma to talk to
the legislature for it. But I
didn’t stay on the outside

inside to find out what
