We are concerned, as most good citi¬ zens must be, with the prevalence of crime, murder specifically, among Ne¬ groes. It exists among Negroes of the lower stratum of society in this city. There are many reasons, perhaps, why this is so. We believe the main reason, however, is their lack of fear that they will receive swift and adequate punishment for crimes committed against each other. They hold the lives of each other far more cheaply than they do the lives of white people. They count upon leniency, and, unfortunately, they count on finding somebody to testify for them has having good character. Right thinking Negroes everywhere have the feeling that leniency shown t« Negro murderers is largely responsible for their readiness to take life. If these people, handy with ice-picks, switch-blade knives, pistols and other tools of murder, knew that swift and certain adequate punishment awaited them, they would think twice before acting. We know of no surer and quicker way of putting an end to this business. ... ^ i THREE EDITORIALS Within the past several weeks there appeared in the press, three articles or editorials dealing with a very important phase of Negro life. Two of the three articles discussed employment opportu¬ nity for Negroes, especially in the Courier South. M!r. Prattis of the Pittsburgh said, “The vast majority of Negroes who have to depend upon the white Ameri¬ can for a living are kept near or below the subsistence level. . . What jobs do the Negroes have? .. .They have the most menial. They have the hardest. They have those which pay the least.” Commenting on a near-fatal incident to a Negro field hand, the Morning News says, “The Alabama Negro’s experience focuses attention, however, on the fact that something of a new era for Negroes, has dawned in the South in which they are finding better schools and homes.” It quotes from the United States News which says, improvement in the condi¬ tion of Negroes in the South is prompt¬ ing a “reverse migration.” The com¬ ment concludes with this interesting statement: “Savannah . . is reported by outside travelers to be a community w here there are exceptional opportunities for Negroes who are honest and effici¬ ent in their businesses and professions.” George Schuyler discusses and debunks the “Phantom Negro.” He says in sub¬ stance, the Negro as thought of by most foreigners does not ac¬ tually exist. Rut we fear dissolving the “Phantom Negro,” Mr. Schuyler portrays a picture which fails to show in factual balance the other side to the Negro’s life in America. Despite the facts stated in his article, he could have mentioned a great deal which leaves Will Aid The C ountry PITTSBURGH. Pa.—(ANP > Failure to adopt a civil rights program for America will earn the United States the “moral condemnation” of people in other parts of the world, and may also “bring us economic troubles of the most serious nature," CIO President Philip Murray declared today. Speaking at a testimonial banquet in his honor, under the auspices of the Allegheny Countv . Pa.» Citizens Commit¬ tee. and attended bv Negro and white civic leaders from western Pennsylvania, Murrav said: “Passage bv the Congress of a Fair Employment Practices law would bring tremendous benefits to every American cit¬ izen here at home. It would also be worth two or three army divisions, or a Voice year's appropriation for the America in our world-wide struggle against communism . . “Each betrayal of American democratic principles whether it is in the field of civil rights or in any other phase of cmr daily life, plays directly into the hands of the Kremlin. “The massive propaganda ma¬ chine of the Kremlin is ready to seize upon distort and broad¬ cast our failures, in a hundred tongues. We cannot control the Kremlin propaganda machine— but we can, as a nation, reg¬ ulate our conduct to win friends rather than to rebuff our nat¬ ural allies.” The CIO president described as “unfortunate" the "unholy alliance” of southern Democrats and northern Republicans, which he said has prevented action on the civil rights pro- gram. Murray described this Entered as Second Class Matter at the Po3t office at Savannah, Ga, under the Act of March 3. 1879 __ __ _ __ National Advertising Representative: Associated Publishers 562 ^ Aye New York 19, New York ... - 'Bum much to be desired, and much yet to keep Negroes from being satisfied with conditions even in the most democratic, the freest country on earth, offering more opportunity for social progress than any other. We are not unmind¬ ful of the fact that though things move smoothly in this city and county, Negroes have few employment oppor¬ tunities of a public nature above the most menial and lowest paid. This is a general condition. A survey which bears very appropri¬ ately on this discussion was conducted recently by the Industrial Relations Department of the Richmond Urban League. it is too voluminous to quote in full. One section of it shows that “over 110 different job classifications above the unskilled level are held by Negroes in the South, though as yet no one city has opened up as many qualified as one- third of the classifications to Negroes.” These classifications include employment in courts, health depart¬ ments, libraries, recreation and parks, safety, pulxlic utilities, welfare, public works, etc. While Negroes are em¬ ployed iu every one of these classifi¬ cations in different cities, in no one city are they employed in all classifications. The implication is plain. It is brought out in the survey that six Southern cities have Negro fire¬ fighters. LASTING MONUMENTS Tablets of bronze and marble, col¬ umns of stone, other structures, and institutions, constitute memorials and monuments of more or less enduring nature, but those consisting of the in¬ spiration of a noble character imbeded in the lives of people, border on the eternal and everlasting.* People and institutions do themselves honor when they turn aside from the routine of ev¬ eryday to do honor to one who laid the foundation of his own monument in service to men and women, to human¬ ity. The late Rev. !L. R. Maxwell, the first Negro pastor of the First Congre¬ gational Church, who wrought well 6,‘i years ago, left his influence on this community, in the hearts of his people which time may dim but not destroy. Through the beneficence of one who acknowledges his debt to the Christian counsel and example of the late Mr. Max¬ well, the members of the First Congre¬ gational Church, on June 17 dedicated the renovated annex to his memory. It was dedicated and set aside as a room specifically for children and for medi¬ tation. The occasion had a significance beyond the members of the immediate congregation. People in the city, not members of this church, and elsewhere in the Congregational Fellowship were interested in this very appropriate pro¬ gram of a deserved tribute to a hero of the Faith. inaction as a “national dsgracc -and the sooner the American people remedy that situation at the polls, the better off our ctuntry will be.’ Hopes President Will Issue I FKPC Order j Noting that the CIO has joined other organizations in pressing for legislative action j and an end to racial diserm- ination. he. Murray, voiced hope i that "our President, who is so. often responsive to the needs! of the American people, will j issue such order for a national emergency FEPC at the earliest possible moment.” Murray criticized theories that our present global conflicts stem from a struggle between colored men and white men “Our difference with the communists pertain to basic problems of liberty and free¬ dom,’’ he said. “Those differ¬ ences do not. thev should not, relate to the matter of men's color or creed or race “We all know that the world¬ wide communist program, if it were successful, would bring about the enslavement of all men—regardless of race or col¬ or or creed. But the eventual triumph of world democracy will mean freedom for all men, regardless of race, color or creed “Our task at home and abroad must be to insure that old. out¬ moded forms of imperialism and colonialism, wherever they m*y exist today, are replaced at once V* free institutions and economic opportunity for all people."

The younger generation of the south is ”sick and tired” of handicap-* ping itself by spending its greater energies trying to hold the Negro down. It is not so difficult to understand Sen. Byrd’s presidential aaspirations which breaka out like an infectious itch come election years. Well. Byrd and the Talmadgltes had a great evening or as one less so¬ phisticated would say, they had a ‘‘large time” yelling themselves hoarse over Sen. Byrd's presiding aspirations which break democratic platform in 1952. It must be admitted that the old south dies hard. But Negroes must not be dis¬ mayed. such reactions of the old south were to be expected in view of the frontal attack Negroes have made on its cherish¬ ed traditions. Intelligent Negroes do not expect to see the old south yield without a struggle, and what a struggle it is! If Sen.

Robinson realizes that he will never be just another ball Player; that he will always be organized baseball’s pioneer Negro. He realizes, says Look, that he must avoid skirmishes. “I don’t want to spoil all I’vo built up,” claims Jackie, “and believe me, as soon as I’m established financially I’m go¬ ing to quit baseball, only be¬ cause I don’t want to spoil it.” He says he’ll never get into arguments on the field in Chi¬ cago.

What can be done to make Negroes vote¬ conscious? This writer’s answer is, give the country more Talmadges, Byrds and Tafts. The pressure they exert will bring the Negro potential voters to themselves. Pressure is a dangerous cure for what ails the voteless Negroes; but it is the only cure' where reason fails. With the cards stackel against him the Negro is quite content to gripe and grunt and grouch, but all too often he fails to resort to the only etfective recourse, the ballot. We shall have to learn the hard way and Byrds of a certain feather are cal* culated to make it plenty hard. When the Talmadges, Byrds and Tafts are through with us, we are going to hunt: for the ballot box as the fox hunts for a hole when hounds are in close pursuit. A few hundred thousand Negro votes would cure these men. But we are quite content to fuss and fume in our papers and then let the matter rest. What it takes to make us rise and get busy, the Byrds of a feather have in plenty. The answer to Senator Bvrd lies not in the conscious belongs to the Negro leaders who¬ ever they may be. Let us suppose that our teachers and preachers and our profession-' als are our leaders. It is incumbent upon them to generate in the Negro masses a hankering desire to use the ballot.

Rangers in Korea! were The Rangers, an all-Negro unit that has been in Korea a relatively short time, have a colorful background. Like their predecessors of World War II, extensive preparatory training was undertaken by each man in the unit at a stateside Army camp to prepare him for £he rigorous duties which would be renuired of him. At Fort Bragg, North Caro¬ lina, in the fall of 1950. a call for volunteers for Ranger dutv was put forth. The call brought quick results, as enough men to fill eight Ranger companies re¬ sponded. The 2nd Ranger Com- nany was among the eight formed to convert ordinary lighting men into highly specialized Rangers.
