ANOTHER DEVICE When it comes to finding ways to cir¬ cumvent justice, the South has been far ahead of the advocates of justice and liberty and civil rights. Everytime a law is made to secure for Negroes some benefit of democracy, the right to vote for instance, the South has come up with a way of getting around granting that right to Negroes. The Grandfa¬ ther Clause was one of the notable, it not infamous, ways of keeping Negroes from voting. Many and devious ways of maintaining the inadequacies and inequalities in educational facilities, in¬ cluding the salaries of teachers, have been devised by people who declaim about justice and freedom and democ¬ racy, but who do everything possible to deny its privileges to Negroes. The Camden county school suit for equal educational facilities is at least suggest¬ ing a new pattern. learned to take their Negroes have fight to the courts and have met with some signal successes. This meant to Georgians that despite the “separate but equal” doctrine, they had to find a scheme for getting around compliance with the Constitution, for salving their consciences. In order to violate the spir¬ it and letter of the Constitution of the United States and to forestall the per¬ fectly legal effort of Negroes to get re¬ dress, the following pattern is set up: Negro pupils or the parents of pupils must show' the inequalities they com¬ plain of; they must show their needs; they must appeal to the State Board of Education; they must exhaust all state means before attempting to go into the federal courts. Nobody says what to do when local boards “take request and petitions” from Negroes under advise¬ ment, or ignore them entirely. The requirement to have surveys made be¬ fore plant or other improvements will be endorsed will create a hardship for Negroes in some counties, because school authorities will oppose having surveys made at this point in the struggle for equal school facilities; the outlook is* not bright. Our lawyers will have to develop a new technique for attacking this problem. This device will be copied by other states just as the “seg¬ regation provisos” scheme of the last Georgia legislature was copied. ON TWO FRONTS A recent address of I)r. Howard Odum in Atlanta suggests that there are two fronts, at least as regards race rela¬ tions. Dr. Odum represents one of these fronts together with quite a few other liberals, including the members of the Southern Regional Council, the members of inter-racial committees and still some others who are not identified with either of these organizations. These people represent various degrees of liberal thinking, ranging from those who feel that segregation and discrimination should be done away with to those who believe in a more or less gradual elim¬ ination of these evils. Even Negroes divide into these groups. It is well known that the NAACP belongs to the former group. Over a lomyieriod of years of patient waiting for changes to come voluntarily, the NAACP has come to the conclusion that since the “equal but separate” doctrine has become in¬ valid, if there was any intention to im¬ plement it. it should contend for the abolition of segregation and discrimina¬ tion in all public and semi-public services based on race and color, or creed and national origin. Some of these liberals have insisted on their right to do as they please about selecting friends and associates, even if some of them are Negroes. This group has called down on their heads bitter denunciation from the extreme group of that front which represents the ultra-reactionary point of view. Those of this view are as well known, better known than those they fulminate against. In this group are such men as Governor Talmadge, Gov. Wright and Gov. Byrnes. In between the two extreme views are all shades of opinion, which date back to antebellum days, even back to ante revolutionary days. All signs point to the eventual end of segregation and its consequent viciousness. There is one investigation into con¬ ditions in Korea which may not hit the headlines of interest or of newspapers. We refer to the investigation made by Thurgood Marshall. NAACP attorney, which looked into the treatment Negro soldiers have received there, into the court marshaling of them, into the punishments administered out of proportion to the offenses they were alleged to have committed. Mr. Mar¬ shall concludes that segregation in the army in Korea was and is responsible for the type of injustices our Negro sol¬ diers have suffered. The report is not unlike those that were made in other wars. We remember too well the ad¬ monition given by top officers during World War I that Negro soldiers were not to be acclaimed too much for their deeds of valor. This sort of thing is a slander on our democratic pretensions. Mr. Marshall’s report will reach many Americans to whom it will appear to be unbelievable. THE VALUE OF YOUR VOTE A test which is beginning to bother some of our citizens is coming soon, and we think Negro citizens are faced with making momentous decisions now; whether to sign the petition to council to call an election to name a commission to draw up a charter; whether to support the charter that will be drawn. We can see no reason why Ne¬ gro voters should not sign the petition. Efforts are being made to confuse them already. Unfounded fears are being conveniently placed to divert such of them as are thought inclined to sign the petition. It is said some of our friends may be displaced if and when the council-manager plan goes into ef¬ fect. Well, we do have some friends in positions that may be abolished under the plan. We do not see why this must follow the inauguration of a form of government which has the promise of improving many essential phases of city administration. The interests of Negroes have been ignored and neglect¬ ed so flagrantly in the past under the form of government we have had, we do not see that the proposed form of government can be any worse. We be¬ lieve it will be better. We could mention many ways in which the needs and interests of our Negro citizens have been ignored and neglected, in which their ambitions to share in the benefits of government have been considered ridiculous and un¬ thinkable. We have begged year after year to have something done for our cemetery. A former mayer would not even permit a request for the appoint¬ ment of Negro policemen to get before council. (Everybody knows why we have them now, even if they are fewer than we like.) The hope of having a l'ire- station Negro manned was thrown into discard when administrations changed. The one opportunity Negro citizens had for making known their needs was brushed aside at the same time. Police brutality toward Negroes existed with¬ out any hope of redress up to 1946. And worst of all, we have tried, despite threats of bodily harm and offers of “handouts,” to have our incredulous, poverty-stricken .improvident Negro cit¬ izens (protected against boledo by our city government, but to this day boledo can be bought <?n West Broad Street, either from runners or from certian spots. This utter disregard for the welfare of helpless Negroes and for the pride of Savannah’s good Negro citi¬ zens who want as much as any citi¬ zens to have our city, a city of good government of which they can be proud too. The signing of the petition for an election is a duty which will provide an opportunity to the citizens of Sa¬ vannah to say whether they want to make government here efficient and economical for all the people. The good citizens will have an opportunity to show by the use of their ballot that they in¬ tend to make this a city good for any¬ body to live in. HThe ballot is the best way to make known our wishes. There¬ fore, it is absolutely necessary for every person with a vote to get ready to use it for the best interest of all the peo¬ ple in our community. The University of North Carolina has notified Edward Diggs that he will be accepted next fall in the university’s medical school, and Tennessee has been ordered to admit four Negroes to its university. J Georgia will spend the necessary amount of money to build equal colleges for Negroes, or so it seems now. That is the only thing to do since some prominent Georgians are determined that it shall not happen in Georgia. ____jjJ THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE BETWEEN THE LINES THE DIXIECRATS HAVE THEIR DAY In the United States we call our high¬ est deliberative body Congress, which means a coming together. In England they call It Parliament which means a talking to-* gether. In Germany they call it the Reich¬ stag, or the day of the Empire. The me-* thodical Germans had something. They thought that when their highest delib¬ erative body met, it was the day of the Em¬ pire when the supreme interests of the na¬ tion were under consideration. We have been wont to say from ancient times that every dog has his day. So when MacArthur returns from the far East amid the acclaim of millions the ordinary obser j ver sees the return of a long gone hero; but the more studious observers see the day of the dixiecrats. The whole stage is set for the crucifixion of one Harry Truman! currently President of these United Stated of America. Truman made one master blunder when, he espoused civil riebts for Negroes. What, is even more significant the nation did in 1918 confirm and approve Truman in his civil rights stand. In spite of all opposi tion Harry Truman was returned as Presi- dent an achievement for ......dir*- which the aixie- rrnts and their yankee abettors have never forgiven him. There has never been in the United States history a more deliberate plan to destroy a man than the plan to destroy Tr man for his naivete in espousing civil; rights for Negroes. For Germans, fine; fon communsts, very well, for the pinks and few-fellow travelers in high place, all to the good, but for Negroes, never! The current democrat-republican coali¬ tion in ronnress was cunningly devised to destroy Truman. How well they have suc¬ ceeded the approaching weeks will tell. It is well to honor MacArthur who verily deserves honor for sacrificing the pleasures and comforts and assurances of his native 1 land these 14 vears. But is not well to de¬ stroy Harry Truman for no reason other than that he tried to abide in his decisions by the constitution of these United States. When Cato arose in the Roman senate and cried times without number “Carthage delenda est” (Carthage must be destroyed) he was re v er moro insistent than our cur- dixiecrats and their ankee abettorsi whose secret cry has been “Trumano de- lp"<-'ns est” (Truman must be destroyed). The opportunity to heroize Me"Arthun gives the coalition its supreme chance to hurn’liate Truman. A^d it must be borne ip mtod that the great. -clamor for MacAr-' thur is th° clamour of hate for Truman. It is not t K at the nation loves MacArthur much but that it hates Truman more.

Tenn— (ANP) — Memphis police officers last week cracked down on the bud¬ ding polirv racket among Ne¬ groes in the citv. arresting 21 Negroes, but failing to nab the j while “brains” man of the said setup. to be the Police Chief Reeves and Asst. Chief J. C Macdonald said the Negroes told them they worked for a white man out of Jack- son. Tenn. Here is how the policy racket operated, according to the off¬ icers: A white man in Jackson ran drawings just outside the city limits and utilized Negro runners and carriers to trans¬ port the policy slips to Mem¬ phis. This organization has been operating since Nov. 21. 1950 About six of the captured men ■ commuted between Memnhi3 and iJackson. paid All the arrested salary j persons were a base > ! of >8 60 a dav when they com- muted (this included bus fare). And for what? For espousing civil rights for Negroes, America’s untouchables. The fact remains that for a large segment, of Americans, Negro hating and Negro bat-* ing is a profession highly speciaMed. In all fairness it should be said that the na¬ tion at heart is becoming more and more willing to accept the Negro as the citizen, that he is. The 1948 election proved this, but our po¬ litical leadership is unwilling to abide by the mandates of the American people and are intent upon sacrificing the will of the many for the whims of the few who are morally behind in the van of survival. And so MacArthur returns to bolster the pride of the dixiecrats and their yankee. abettors. It will prove a shot in the arm for a declining cause. This is written to serve notice that the great hue and cry is not for the glory of MacArthur but for the revenge of the dixiecrats and their yankee abettors. When the mayor of Au¬ gusta, Georgia calls upon his fair city to sl-nd in minutes silence over MacArthur’s return, we can get some idea of what the rlo*v>r>nr is all a^out. The mayor of Au¬ gusta knew that this would give the dix- ieernts their supreme opportunity to cruci¬ fy Truman and nail him to the cross. It is well for the Truman haters to re¬ member that they may kill Harry Tru¬ man but they cannot kill the civil rights issue. This issue will never be settled un¬ til it is settled right and it will never be' nettled right until Negroes arp full-fledged citizens of the nation they have lived and died to make great. Give glory to MacArthur for glory is. ri^htlv his: but killing Harry Truman is. still another matter. There is no cause of political death found in Truman. Tru- m-ari has made mistak°s and so has Mac¬ Arthur and so did Roosevelt. I am for Truman right or wrong. Negroes should not, be deceived. The dixiecrats and their yan¬ kee abettors have their day.

Gaetz “Won’t you stop and see my flower garden?” urged little Beth, as she tripped along beside me on my way home from town. “You are a pretty small girl to have a garden of your own. but I would love to see it,” I i assured her. As we turned in at her gate to my surprise it was to the vegetable garden that I followed her dancing footsteps. Here I found a wide flower-bordered path running across the garden. “The flowers on this side of the path are all mine,” she said, “and those on the other side belong to Keith. Dad and Mom let us have this for our gardens, and we can grow any¬ thing we choose. Don’t you like mv pansies? Mom let me have some plants from her flower bed, and she showed me how to transplant them and care for them. I was ever so careful, but some did die. I like them be¬ cause I think they look like people, and I have every plant named after someone.” “Well now, that’s a new idea,” I answered, “but just the same, I wouldn’t mind having a pansy named after me.” “Now, these are my mari¬ golds.” continued Beth. “Don’t you think they are happy look¬ ing? I take them to people who are sick; marigolds help to make them feel better. Keith thinks they are uninteresting; but I like them. These are my ■nixed poppies. They are like a surprise package—.you nevei know what color is coming out next.” “I’m sure no one could fee! low-spirited with such cheerful blossoms for company,” I re¬ marked. “That’s all of my flowers; you see we have to grow them and care for them ourselves, and Mom thought that was enough for me.” “Do you really mean to say that you planted these flowers and cared for them ail by your¬ self?” I asked. “Keith did help me tuSt a bit,” replied Beth. “Keith’s N. .1 WOMAN CITED “PSYCHIATRIC AIDE OF THE YEAR” • T, ' rf!PV Mrs. Fo-r-st ***» th “ ***- Dated as “Psychiatric Aide of the Year” for 1950 bv the Na¬ tional Association for Mental Health. The association will present its award to Mrs. Adams during Mental Health Week. Mav 2-8. at the opening re-emomes. She is earning, the award, according to u- O rQ -,n n Root, ruul president, mcaium. of m +he nc association, for work being done “by high caliber mental hospital norcnnrifil personnel nrVin who irp are going far toward removing the ‘snake nit’ stigma from our mental institutions.” Mrs. Adams will receive a I citation and a nrize. Miss j | Olivia d° Haviland, movie aueen who starred in “The Snake Pit.” a dramatic film about mental institutions, will present this award to Mrs. Adams at ceremonies opening Mental Health Week. Also earning awards will be five aides for “distinguished performance” and 84 others for “merito.no*; achievements. 7 The Catherwood - Kirkbride Fund for Research in Psychi¬ atry in Philadelphia has con¬ tributed the awards. The 90 aides to be honored j hail uau from iwni mental incuvai hospitals 11v.op.1u..) with 210,000 persons in 31 states. . They are helping to raise the standards of these institutions, | according to Root. He noted the need for more trained psychiatric workers throughout the nation. The association, he said, presents its Psychiatric Aide of the Year award to “dramatize progress¬ ive trends in our mental hos¬ pital picture ...” The asso¬ ciation coordinates activities with more than 400 local men¬ tal health associations. It was formed last year through the consolidation of the nation’s t o n three voluntary mental health associations. Mrs. Adams, 47-year-old mother, works as a psychiatric technician at the New Jersev state hospital in Greystone Park. N. J. A former school teacher, she lives in Summit. She is scheduled to soon re¬ ceive another award for her excellent work in her field. A New Jersey state award will be presented to her at the com¬ mencement exercises of the latest! class of psychiatric technicians at Skiilman Village for Epileptics, where Mrs. Adams was graduated in 1948. Born in Marion County, Ga.. she completed two years of studv at Atlanta Universitv and taught kindergarten and classes for defective children before she and her husband. Enos, came to New Jersey. In Sum¬ mit. her husband operates an auto repair business. After eaduation as a psychi¬ atric technician, Mrs. Adams was assigned to a group of 59 severely disturbed patients de¬ scribed as “destructive and 1 homicial.” Soon, the “strait jackets” disappeared. Then the i patients began to feed them¬ ' selves. ___ good at gardening. Dad says he has the ‘green thumb,’ whatever that means.” “Beth is pretty good herself,” volunteered Keith, who had joined us on the garden path. “Of course, she’s a girl and, only eight, while I’m eleven, so I did help her. Beth is picking you some marigolds; let me pick you some of my sweet peas and snapdragons. Here are some stocks, tco. We’re juSt learning to garden; next year we hope to have lots of flow¬ ers.” As I erpressed my thanks to my young friends and made my way to the gate, with my arms full of blossoms, Mrs. Morris joined me. “I’m glad my children have enticed you in to admire (their flowers.” she said as she greeted me. “They are very proud of their gardens. You see, ,«iey were from always garden cutting for fq.jers their our friends, and there seemed no reason why they shouldn’t, for we have so many. Very often, though, their father was f sav¬ ing some thing sDecial for the flower show and they were sure to choose those flowers Besides, lit'le feet can soon play havoc in a flower bed. So we thought of letting them have their owrr flowers, and you’d be surprised to know how much pleasure thev havj taken in caring for them and ' watching things grow.” “Y«r.” T said. “I was just re¬ marking that if Dad and Mom didn’t watch out, it would be Beth and Keith who would be carrying off all the prizes at) the show!” Mrs. Morris smiled. “If child¬ ren don’t learn to garden while they are young,” she said, “.they are not likely to care much for it later on, and I do think that those pepole who have never known the absorb¬ ing interest of a garden miss one of the biggest joys of life.” “Well,” I assured her, “you don’t need to worry about Beth and Keith. You've started them on a hobby which will, never cease to give them pleasure.” MID-WESTERNERS MEET —Thirty-eight Negro newspaper editors and railroad public relations executives from the Mid- West Great Lakes area were guests of the Association of Ameri¬ can Railroads at a rqund-table meeting in Chicago’s Blackstone Hotel to discuss mutual problems. Speakers were Dowdal Davis, NNPA head, and *Col. Robert S. Henry, vice president of Public Relations for the AAR. CHICAGO, Illinois—“The Ne¬ gro press must interpret both forcefully and intelligently the ideals and ambitions of the American Negro if present en- equties in our democratic society are to be erased.” declared Dawdal Davis, president of the National Negro Publishers Asso¬ ciation in a recent address. Tire publishers association head addressed 38 Negro news¬ paper editors and public rela¬ tions railroad eexcutives of the Mid-West Great-Lakes area at a roundtable session in the Blackstone Hotel at Chicago, held under the auspices of the Association of American Rail¬ roads. The Mid-West Great- Lakes meeting followed a sim¬ ilar discussion at Philadelphia last Fall, designed “to devolop a mutual understanding of the functioning of the Negro na¬ tional community and the operations of the railroad in¬ dustry.” The General Manager of the Kansas City Call stated that the present failure to practice democracy by millions of Americans is a “major weak¬ ness” of the system. Problems of democracy will not work themselves out, he asserted, but require “cuorgaeous action” out of which will emarge “a re definition of American democ raev.” Col. Robert S. Henry, Vice- President in charge of Public Relations for the Association of American Railroads and host at the session, told the assembled newsmen of the vital role nlaved bv railroads as th* “major instrument of transpor¬ tation” in the country. The veteran rail spokesman traced the industry’s development of standardized time schedules, uniform track and frie<»ht "nutriment as mator moves toward the coordinated activity of the railroads. Brief remarks were made at th" session bv Albert R. Beatty, assistant to Colonel Henry, and Harold Sims, public relations head for the Western Associa¬ tion of Railroads.
