No more truthful words have
ever been spoken than those ut
tered by Governor Ernest Van
diver last week in answer to
NAACP Secretary Mitchell, who
criticized the Governor’s testi
enony to the Senate sub-commit
tee in Washington relative to
Senator Talmadge’s bill to re
store administrative authority to
the states over their school sys
tems.
The Governor said, in part:
“The fact is that the NAACP
does not want harmony and prog
ress among the white and colored
races, but rather seeks to pro
mote strife and discord between
them in order to enrich its' coffers
•■nd to afford a handful of its of-
Jicers a lavish standard of living
at the expense of its members ।
■who receive no real benefits from!
its activities.
“The NAACP organization on
the national level in America op
erates not unlike the Communist
Party in Russia.”
The Governor’s statement about
the NAACP was given added sig
nificance last week when the facts
were discosed that NAACP lead
ers and known Communists had
joined hands in an Atlanta meet
ing to celebrate the sth anniver
sary of the infamous U. S. Su
jareme Court ruling in Maj’ 19M.
Here are the names of some of
those present at this meeting,

NO OTHER INDUSTRY in the
tertory of the world ever has
been forced to compete for its
existence under handicaps like
those imposed on the American
textile industry by this country’s
trade and foreign aid policies.
their capital from the United
States Treasury in the form of
foreign aid grants and loans, to
buy American surplus cotton with
borrowed American dollars 20 per
cent cheaper than it sells in this
country, to sell their finished
jiroducts back to the American
•Government through so-called
•“three-way deals” under the for
eign aid program, to learn Amer
ican trade secrets and production
know-how merely by asking, and,
because American tariffs and
-quotas have been reduced so
drastically, to undersell compara
ble American products on the
American markets.
• • *
THOSE ADVANTAGES are
compounded by the facts that
wage scales in many of the com
peting countries, particularly in
the Far East, are one-tenth or
less of the American legal min
imum and that there are no bars
in those countries to the imposi
tion of working conditions which
■would be illegal here in the
United States.
It is small wonder in the light
of those facts that the American
textile industry has lost markets
equivalent to 10 per cent of the
national production and that,
■since 1947, 717 textile mills have

Street Negro Baptist Church in
Atlanta on Sunday May 17th:
James Dombroski, nationally
known admitted Communist; Au
brey Williams, a member of any
number of Communist-front or
ganizations; Tom Mboya, Negro
Communist from Kenya, Africa;
Martin Luther King, Montgomery,
Ala., integrationist leader; Clar
ence Jordan, head of the inter
raical Koinoma farms in Sumpter
County, Ga.; Mrs. Hurley, NAACP
Southern director; Daisy Bates, of
Little Rock, Ark., who led the
integrationist fight in the schools
of that city; and any number of
lesser lights of the NAACP and
other Communist-front organiza
tions.
Small wonder that Governor
Vandiver accused the NAACP of
“thriving on perpetrating violence
and discord.”
Though the motley crew listed
above claimed to be in Atlanta to
celebrate the anniversary of the
Supreme Court decision, the real
fact is that they came to lay down
the battle lines for an all-out ef
fort to force integration of Atlanta
schools next September. They
have decided that citizens of
Georgia’s Capital city have been
“softened up” enough by white
integrationists in the city, and
that now is the time to strike.
Atlanta can look for trouble, but
they can, also, trust Ernest Van-
closed their doors and 345,000
textile jobs have been discon
tinued. It is a tribute to the
vitality of the industry that its
losses have been contained within
those bounds.
From the things which have
been done to the industry in the
name of global goodness, it is no
exaggeration to cc ude that it
is the actual, if not officially
expressed, policy of the Govern
ment of the United States that
the American textile industry is
expendable and should be forced
to help finance its own liquidation.
FORTUNATELY, THIS plight
has received recognition in a
study recently complet ’ by a
Special Subcommittee of the Sen
ate Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce which, in its
report, recommended a 10-point
program of help and relief for
I the textile industry. Essentially,
its recommendations entail more
stringent import quo faster
relief action under the Trade
Agreements Acts, a better tax
break particularly as regards
1 depreciation and elimination of
the two-price system on Amer
ican cotton.
It is my resolute conviction
that the American textile indus
■ try, as well as all other domestic
industries, has a right not only
to expect but also to demand that
i both Congress and the Executive
Branch by statute and policy give
■ it and the jobs of its wo-kers es
; fective protection from unfair
foreign competition. For the sake
i of the one out of every three
i Georgians employed by the tex
tile industry, it is my hope that
Congress will act to give it relief
i and protection at this Session.
(As the re
sult of those
policies, the
industry’s

petitors have

The writer of this column is a
' member of the Methodist Church.
But, like hundreds of thousands
of other Methodists in Georgia,
we deplore the aid and comfort
which the Methodist Church is
giving to the NAACP and its
kindred organizations. And we
resent bitterly the use of the
Wesley Memorial Methodist
Church in Atlanta, the headquar
ters of the North Georgia Confer
ence, in housing those groups who
seek to destroy America and make
of it a mongrel race. Methodism
was not founded by John and
Charles Wesley to foment strife
(and discord among any class or
race of people, but to give aid
and comfort to the NAACP is
certainly following such a course.

Praises be—those wonderful fresh Florida oranges are still
plentiful in local markets! Nature worked harder than usual in
the balmy southland this year, and the Valencia crop of big juicy
seedless oranges is enjoying a longer season than ever!
Ideal for sectioning and slices, you’ll find the Valencias perfect
for a number of desserts, such as this cool, refreshing (and
withal very healthful) Glazed Orange Bowl. Here’s the recipe
for a dinner finale bound to please everyone:
6 Florida Valencia oranges 1 cup sugar
Vz cup orange juice and water
To section oranges, cut off peel in strips from top to bottom,
cutting deep enough to remove white membrane. Then cut slice
from top and bottom. Go over fruit again removing any white
membrane. Cut along side of each dividing membrane from out
side to middle of core. Remove section by section over bowl to
retain the juice. When all oranges are sectioned, drain juice;
measure and add water, if necessary, to make cup. Cut orange
peel to make 2 tablespoons of finely slivered peel. Add orange
peel slivers to sugar and orange juice in sauce pan. Cook over
medium heat, without stirring, for 8 minutes. Pour hot syrup
over the orange sections. Serve cold, garnished with mint.
Yield: 4 servings.
