SLUM clearance
W« ar« compelled to express our reKret that Durham has not
kept abreast with the slntii cieutance prugrain launched gometimia
ago by the federal government. announcement thi« wetk
~tK6t city officials are showing Uttie^ interest in ■“ch a project
should ceminiy''be received by Durham’s Negro population with
profound regret, as it sulferes most fiom th« lacJc of slum
clearance.
TenemMit houses that are congested, poorly lighted, ^poorly ven
tilated and dilapidated are breeders of crime and diseases, neither
of which, after it gets out of the breeding stage, knowi any color,
class or rank.
^ Dyham society, cannot eternally continue to ignore those in
flicted with sypTinis, tpliOTculosis, gottoerboea an4 other communi
cable diseases by refusing to seize an opportunity to do what it
can to eliiminate a condition that is a sure breeder of tlMse ailt
ments. Neither can society, Durftam society, forever'l^nore the
crime infested slum areas of this city without ultimftely having to
pay the price in murder and bloodshed.
THE Carolina T^MES does not attempt to say that it be"^
irevra the SWiWrs of sTum areas ^i^ Du}ham“ are. back of this lack
of interest in slum clearance now being exhibited by our city
officials. Upon the real cause we can' not place out finger, bat
we do say that it appears to. us. that a cog in the wheel of D)ur-
fiam’s. interesl in advancenieiit fiaS* slipped, and ttiat Our city
officials have either permitted themselves to fall asleep at the
switch, or to. be led by heartl.ess landlords..who afe merely bent on
wringing every dollar they can out of. tee victims of their nefar-
loug system.
Although Durham Negroes constitute oni^ a third of the city’s
population, the Aug-ust report fiem the office of Dr. J. H. Epper
son, superintendent of the health department, shpws that out of a
total of 231 cases of syphilis reported there were 181 Negroes and
*""0111^50 v.'hlF^'^iTrof'a'totar of nine caS6 of tubeitsulosis reported
_jKX were XcCTces and three white. During the month of August
seven Negroes died from tuberculosis ^TIe~only oEe wKfe “person
sufecumbed to the same disease. ■ ^
Till? newapaper does not claim that slum cieariince will entirely
rid our city of communicable diseases and crime, but we do say
both would be lessened to the extent that it would pay I>urham to
interest it|elf in the movement. ^

PRIVATE LYNCHING
' Xh* alert National Association fcr the Advancement of Colored
People issues a statement, which is published elsewhere in this
week’s CAROLINA TIMES, on lynchings in the United States
during 1938. Th« association says there have been'four known’
lynchiiigs, and there is a possibility that there Have’ been two
others, but a lack cf evidence makes it impossible to make a de
finite statement at this time concerning, eithec. of them.
In one of the two cases now under investigation by the NAACP
vivid -deaeription of the miSntw' in which th« crime was com-
uutted is given. There is evidence which tent^ to show that
,-Jceis of the law deliberately assisted in protecting th« lynchers
(jy squashing the affair before it got into the public press. Hence
t(i» iiuest^on is raised as to whether or not- the deep aouth is resort
ing to private lynchings in its atteinpt to promote its program of
‘ wiiite supremacy.”.
THE Carolina times hopes th%t fitting the existence cf
the crime w^e have not made it possible fop«.»^tlkA^yMiter one to
be committed. For if lynchers are going,^jy&»i-|^nnitted to do
thein dirty work in secrecy with the law at'liP?Utainer, and with
out the knowledge of the public press, there Is no tellitvg how many
Negr«es will come to death by the bloody hands of the Ifitchers of
the deep south. - , • ■
The investigation into^the two -unreported lynchings by the
NAACP should be encouraged financially and morally by law
abiding citizens eveii'where. If the reports now believed true’can
be substantiated every agency of law enforcement should be brought
to bear to rid the nation of^this most sinister of all crimes—private
lynchings. ,

PLIGHT OF JEWS
We are sorry to note the
trouble which the Jews of

those in Germany, and now in
Italy.
,J'or some time we have noted
a tendency in this country to
discuss the relative position and

NO NEGRO MAIL CARKICRS IN DURHAM ^
THE CABOHNA TIMERS is not able to say just why Durham
is one of the cities in North Carolina that has no' colored mail
-«an:iers. It may be that Durham Negroes have nfever interested
themselves in seeking sifth positions with, the federal governjnent,
- or it may be the result of a subtle move an (the part of certain
forces in Durham to keiep Ngeroes fVom. obtaining such a position.
W^hatever the reason it should be looked into, immediately by the
Committee on Negro Affairs, or the local branch of th* Associsr
tion foi-~the^Alvaticei*eiit of Colored Peopl*j “
D«cent jobs for Negroes are hard to find and with the laiga
number of boys and girls that are graduating from oot schools and
colleges they are going to be even hardar t© find.
Durham already has its share' of Tiigh school and college gradu
ates who aie pounding the pavement day in and day out in an at
tempt to find work. We - believe that many of them could pass the
examination for mail carriers, ajjd we urge them to try and d^ so.
Already the. field of teaming is over-supplied ai^ ond«r-paid.
Only those aTale to’ do a large amount of post graduate work are
able to find well paying jobs, and Ihey are in collegea. '
The salanr^ paid mail carrier^ is far in excess of that paijJ the
averaga Ke^ro teacher. In addition there is no discrimination -in
tlia payment of the ■siary because of color dr racial identity. ,
Nagro mail carrier* are paid the same Amo'iihl''as white’mail car

where they ar« very powerful,'
are charged with not giving Ne-
grpes enough economic oppor-
tunity;
While there is much truth in
this assertion, it must be re
membered that Jews in AiperiiB
are influenced in their attitude
toward Negroes by the mores of
the dominant group, which is
the white American group. Jews
might be sympathetic, but being
classed, as whitS. they dare not
show too much friendliness for
fear of losing caste on their own
account. ^ ^
Of course this places the Ame
rican Jew in an almost unten
able position. On the-efie-
he wanta the sympathy artd tole
rance of the Negro, and ' petty
meanneaaes, in spite of his white
skin; and on the other hand
he must hold iiimself aloof
from, and ^ven is tempted te
practice prejudices against, and
to thoroughly exploit, commer
cially, the |Negri, (because the
Jewish upper class is accepted
by upper class Americans (main
ly for financial reasons.)
Negroes who feel the pain of
Jewish economic indifference
are prone to gleefully sanction
Jewish persecution in dt&tant
lands. Our view is that it is nev
er right to sanction persecution,
no matter against whom it is
practiced. Our differences with
Jews here, we think, may be
amicably settled without con
doning either Hitler or Musso
lini’s' intolerance. i

fine example tor'the rest of tha
