PAGH FOUR THE CAROLINIAN WEEK ENniNG, SATtmDAY MAY 15,1945 EDITORIALS NON-PARTISAN liie one mildly sour public note in an oth^wise restrained and iuiel munici pal election campaign was the emphasis giveP in some fiuartore to the political af filiation of Jud^c West. Jt was pointed out enn emphasized that the judjro is a Republican, In a way which implied that it should be counted to his discredit. Ir^jview of the fact that both the pri mary and the finals in Raleigh’s nuini-i- pal %?lGclions arc non-pai*tisan. it would seenp out of place to inject the party is.suo into»the campaijfn. If the election was to be am off under the party system, then partly w'ould naturally count; but under the jcircumstances, party affiliation was supposed to be entirely irrelevant. i ; BELIEVES IN CONSTITUTION Stiff sentences impo.sed by IhS. District Judge Johnson J. Hayes in liquor and .May Act cases here last week indicate that His Honor is a strict and forceful judge. But another of his characleristij-s was revealed in the disposition of the case of a defend ant w'ho happened to be a Negro. In this case he showed his respect not only for law and order but for the ( onstitution and the constitutional rights of the individual. The defendant in the case referred to here was charged with possession of non- taxpaid liquor hidden in his automobile. When the officer who was th(* comi)lain- ing witness admitted searching the car without the formality of a search warrant. Judge Hayes dismissed the ca.se. The judge know's the Bill of liight.s, and ap parently believes it is not a scrap of paper. ANOTHER SCORE A H. S. District Court decision ha.s directed the Jefferson County, Alabama, school boa‘*d to e(|ua!ize the salaries of Negro teachers in that county with those of white teachers, beginning in Septem ber. Jefferson County include.s Birming ham. In the absence of an appeal to a higher court, equalization will be an accomplish ed fact in another locality, this time in the Deep South, before the year is over. The winning suit was brought by a Birming ham teacher, and was pressed by the NAACP. HN’cry teacher pay victory adds another precedent, and makes the nex.t one easier. Granting the foolLsh and unscionlific nature of the prejudice against Negro blood pla.sma (since there is no racial dif ference in blood, nor any po.ssil>ility of transmitting any racial characteristic, desirable or undesirable, by transfusion), and granting also that .in official agmicy agency should not aid and abet .such pre judices, the fact remains that the whole thing is on a voluntary basis. There is no point in trying to force a gift on a resistant beneficiary, and nio makes fineself a little ridiculous by doing •SO. Give your Idood gladly, with the hope that it may .save the life of a Negro soldi- r who will be glad enough to nuanve youi life-giving donation, or else just hang on to it. If nobody else wants it, or seem-* to need it, you can always use it. If any white .American soldier or sailor should die anywhere (which God forbid!) bc- cau.se of ma.ss prejudice of ignorance, or because of the Army’s policy, the ghost will not hauni YOU, RACISM. NAZI STYLE .According to TIMM .Magazine, a inotiqii picture. “Brewster’s .Million.s,’’ wa.s re cently banned from the theatres of .Mem phis, Tenne.ssee, by the Board .)f Motion Picture C’eii.sors of that fair eily. It was Immied becau.se “liochester” (Kddie .Aii- dei-son), the Negro comedian, “has an im portant role and has ti»o familiar a way aliout him,” and because the, pii-tiir.- “pre.sents too much .social equality and rai'lal mixture.” Such an arliilrary and lirazmi. actiin, bearing as it does the offh'i;il stamp if a body exercising govt-rnmenlal authority, and devoid o fany semblaiu-e of subth-ty in its blatant expression of r.•lcism, i.s typ ical of .Nazism at its worst. The great differeuwe. »f i-ourse, is that, such measures and expri'ssioiis as applied to .lews in Germany wen- nationwid whereas in the Ibiiti-d States .Memphis i.s not repre.sentative of the nation as a whole.

It ha.s hi-en r.ilher a .sari commentary on the modi-ls i.f soiiely' and tlu- moldi-rs of societys leaders that tin- terms of employment in tlii-se institutions have not he.-n favorably coinparatili- io the working .igreom'-nts of busim-.s.s men, domestics, ditchdiggers. social vvorkc-i? public .school teachers—to say nothing of doctors, law yers aofl llie liki'. It Is tlu-refore in tlie public interest to know that tlio'e inslil itions wliicii t'-ach llu-ii children to work liard and ni.-i'it suce'-.ss oft'-n practice promoting to higher rank only Iho'C •■pii'fc-^sor-;’' win; ingratitiaU- tlu-iiusj-lve.s into the gomi grai-es .*f Ihe pow«-r.s-lhat-hi- by kow-Uiwing and to all intents and purposes brt-aking their n«-L-k.s wtih the downward and upward oscillation I.f he* head, Fieqiiently the (-xcu.si- given for thi- jibsence of a tenure cod.- or a salary seali- has been the lack of money. If thi- United Negri College Fund campaign Is a continuing success there are good gi'ounds for believing that this excuse will remain valid if it 4 ver was. The fact that college teachers lor thi*-most part have hem! paid Koin.-' sorts of salarie.s is n-a.son enough to believe tliat train ing. teaching -xpei-ience, length of services, and quality of per^ f-irm.-ince could have long sinei- been the mea.suring rod for tie- .salarif-s paid. C«-rlainly this basis would se»-m more regular and nioi'e '-cfiitabif tlian whether or not one is subservient and servil- t" lti- will, right nr wrong of an irnnfisted administration. .Many a colli-gt- teficher lias .served long and well in his high- l.v n-'-pected professorial chair only to he dismls.si-d because h- had tlu- ti-rnerity to disagree with tne opinion of the administra tion. Insult was addi-d to injury when, he discovered Uiat he wa.s lu- has been forn-d t'l live on for years. j'e|)liict'd h.v some v-ung frii-nd of tin- family at twice tlu- sal ii.v 'Ihen- ha.s been much -l;unor lor the equali/ing and laising ol salarie. of publu- school teaclu rs. And justly the «-fforts in thk dii'4'i-tinn have met with suc-ce.ss in many places. This deserved ad- vanei- in tlu- administering of ju.s!iee may nevertheless undermim- tlu- profir iem-y and ffi clivi n'-s.s of m^ny Negro colleges unlcs.-: they follow the (-v.-iniplc of H:impton Institute. The college teachei will begin .seeking employment high .schools anil elementary school; whi-rc thei- an- codc.s for rank. tcnur«‘, salaries, and promotion, Jndei-d. .somi* colli-ge professors h;»v»- already transferred for thes'- nason.-;. Another remarkable thing about tl'.i- Hamtilon statute Is the fact that it was "fidopti-d by tlie Faculty and Trustees after con sideration of several versions. Usuall.v these mal1ei-.s of salary, ten- un-, and letiremenl .ik- sacrosanct and are 4ii.4cusscd only in the .sanctum s.mctorum only bv the o-iwers that be. The priictici- - ' denuicracy as presented in government, history, and other soetal .,i-ie'it-‘- clas.se.s Ls regarded us imprictieable when it come.s to thi- afficiu) action of the institutions wherein these social and gov- ern-iu-nial pri::cipl«-s are taug!it. Thes ' facts are all too true of man.v Negro colleges and do not apptv to any particular institution of higher t duration. Con- sidi-ration of thi-se facts in all of the .■ichools in which th- ntalli-r nas noi oc n properly examined should lx* high on the- agenda along with preparations for teaching veterans when they eomt- home from the war. Th(- qualifications of the professor, his pearc of mind free from financial worri(!.s and free from 'ear of tenure are as essential to giving proper instruction to the veterans es the new educational methods which are being brought into use. One of the most potent arguments advanced for providing bel ter teaching conditions including salaries concerned itself with an inquiry as to whether the person who directs the mintis of the fu ture leaders of civilization .should not be at hast as well provided for in his employmi-nt as the person who makes or cleans our clothes. Similarly the implications of this statement must apply to eulh-gi- teach-rs tKi. Hamilton Institute s4-t.s a noteworthy i-xample both in action .'14 ’•V'-ll as in Ihe prfK-*durr- used in n-iu-hing its eonclu^' os on In the ahs>nco of an appeal to a hijfher court, equalization will be an accomplish ed fact in another locality, this time in the Deep South, before the year is over. The winnini? suit ^ s brougrht by a Birming ham teacher, and was pressed by the NAACP. Every teacher pay victory adds another precedent, and makes the next one easier. It seems now to be largely a matter of finding in a particular locality someone who is willing to let himself be the guinea pig by permitting the suit to be brought in his name. One result of all this should be^to pro mote southern interest in Federal aid to educaticn. DON’T I PT IT BOTHER YOU The War Department, through respon sible officials, recently ;'.ccoptcd the au thorship of the policy which decreed (hat blood plasma from Negro donors be segre gated and labelled in such a way as to identify its source. The ehief outcome of this ai knowlodge- ment from the office of the Surgeon Gene ral is definitely to removo blame from the American Red Cro.s.s. which has operated the blood banks. It is only proper that this great organization should be cleared of any reflection, as it has long enjoyed the well-merited esteem of all classes of the American people. It has seemed to us that there were only two sensible and dignified alternatives op en to NegroA's in thi.s matter of giving blood for the armed forces. Kilher one might donate blond for the help of, and possibly to save the life of, some colored service man, or else one might keep his blood inside his own veins. In either case there would be no grounds for hullabaloo, invective and recrimination. THE CAROUmAM IIS Kwt Hargett St. Raleigh. N. C. Talep^ooa M74 Publ iebed by TTm Carolinian Publiihlng Co.

After la.st year’s Supreme Goui L decision in Ihe Texas case his position is an obviou.s one. Following the proptq'aiid orderly leg al procedure, step by step, to the end. tlic Negro can win full and cotn|>lele fran chise rights anywhere in Ihe I’niled Stales. In Atlanta the City Democratic lOxet-u- tivo Committee has droppinl the word “Democratic” fixim its title, and annoniu - ed that Nt'groes will be barred front xul- ing. It is (|uit(* possible that Ihey have thus made it (‘asier rather than more diffii'nlt for the would-h(‘ Negro vtiter, since lit'- right nf citizens to participati* in a non- pailisan primary is easier to estalilisli than where Ihe itrimary is avowedly a party process. NOT IN VAIN Tliat .Negroes a**e running for offn-e in North Carolina is a h i g h I y important, thing, i|uile apart from whellier any are immediately (dected or not. 1'lie., ednc.i- tional value for Ni'gro and w’-ite citizims alike, of having colored candidatt's hefore the electorate. Is very great. There are doubtless many who have thottglil that a Negro could not h'gab.v qualify Jis a can didate for public office. They arc being corrtntcd by llu‘se obcct h'.ssons. Another bemTit i.s that it encourages Negroes to register and vole.

But o n c e started voting they will lend to keep it up, even wh*n there are no familiar names on Ihe ballot. A third consideration is that minorities which cannot win at the polls often publi cize and call attention to the jusice of their causes, leading to the incorportition of some of their principles into the plat forms of major group.s, parties and candi dates. Such is the history in this country of many a minor political party. Finally, there is of course the chance that th#* Negro candidate may win; if not now, then latei. iiiilii all-, Ik'i'ih - tia> ii*c-i'4-,'s«'il flieui,- I',. Fame peiiud.
