CLOSE-UPS
By FUTZ POLLARD
(CH^tal News Service)
NEW YORK
Nobody was the least bit sur-
' prised when Giant outfielder
WiUie Mays was named the
Most Valuable Player in the
National League this year.
Sports writers and t^oa have
-fcaxed lyrical about Willie’s
taloits, and many people have
paid tribute to Willie’s mod
esty and sortsmanship. He has
a reputation as a fine, clean
cut young man with a great
future. Itiey love him every
where.
Everywhere, that Is, but his
owB home t*wn, Birmingham,
Alabama. Aay town ought to
be prMid «f sach a product as
Willie Mays, Just because he
Is a decent f^ow, Any town
OBght to be doBbly glad to
elaim such a person when he
is a decent fellow. Any town
0*1^ to be donbly glad to
elaim sach a perstw whm he
has stood ap so well nnder the
critical eye of the pnblic.
But Birmingham, Alabama,
which has basked in the re
flected glory of Willie Mays,
apparently prefers to claim
Jim Crow as her favorite son.
For Willie, we hear, cannot
play baseball in his home
jtp_^. Interracial contests, we
understand, are not permitted
there.
We wonder how long it will
take them to realize that the
parade is passing them by.
Certainly Oie Giants could not
affc^d to drop their start in
oE^r to play a town such as
Bumingham. They know that
would be a step backwards.
Most of the major league
teams now boast of Negro
players—even the Yankees.
And so. If Birmingham wants
to be “out of bounds” for the
best teaihs in the country,
that’s her business. But soon
er or later, she’ll have to wake
up.

with (jbe May 17 ruling of the
United States Supreme Court
ootlawing racial ssegregation
In public schools.”
The movement to use economic
pressure to suppress demands by
Negroes for an end to segrega
tion was initiated by so-called
citizens councils first organized
in Mississipi. Recently,- efforts
have been made to extend tthe
movement into. Alabama and
other southern states. Primar
ily, the movement has been aim
ed at NAACP state and local
leaders. However, others who
assert their citizenship rights
rights have also been victimized.
The text of the NAACP tele
gram to the Wliite House, dated
Dec. 20, follows
Because of a serious situTUi
in Mississippi, National Asso
ciation For Advancement Of
Colored JPeople would appre
ciate a conference with you at
your early convenience to in
dicate what remedial action
can and should be taken. Ne
gro leadership in Mississippi Is
being subjected tiK undisguised
ecouMnic intimidation admit
tedly designed to curb dvU
rights and parictularly to dls-
cotuage registration and vot
ing and to force abandonment
of efforts to secure peaceful
compliance with the May
Seventeenth ruling of the U. S.
Supreme Court outlawing rac
ial segregation in public
schools. Reports from mem
bers of our staff In the state
indicate banks and other pri
vate credit institutions are
conspiring to put the squeeie
on Negro farmers, business
men and homeowners who are
active in the NAACP by fore
closing their mortgages, de
manding full and prompt pay
ment of indebtedness, and re
fusing credit.
These and other acts of In
timidation have been initiated
by so-called Citiiens Councils
recently organised in many of
the State’s Counties. These
Councils, according to State
Representative Wilma Sledge
of Sunflower County, are
“composed of reliable white
male citizens . . . organized
for the sole purpose of main
taining segregation of the
races.” They seek tliis goal
through the “application of
economic pressure of trouble
makers.”
The MONTGOMERY (ALA.)
ADVERTISER characterises
the Councils’ methods as “rash,
indecent and vicious.” This
leading Southern daily quotes
a Council sokesm%|i as saying
“we intend to make it difficult,
if not'imossible, for any N^o
who advocates desegregation
to find and- liold. a-job, get
credit, or renew a montgage.”
We believe these economic
purges warrant the attention
of the Federal Government
We uige you to direct the ap
propriate Federal Agencies to
make such* investigation as
may be needed and to make
their facilities readily avail
able to Negro citizens now be
ing persecuted because they
support the Constitution of
the United States. We are
vitally concerned with the
moral issue confronting our
country.
We believe that a public
statement from you followed
by corrective action would be
a proper exercise of the moral
suasion inherent in the High
Office of the Presidency of a
a free people. There can be no
fredom where privately or
ganized gronps brazenly seek
to control the hopes, attltntdes,
speech and action of Ameri
can citizens through what the
MONTGOMERY ADVERTIS
ER aptly calls "economic
thuggery.” For the law abiding
victinis of this terror we pray
swift and authoritative relief.

Apricol' Fluff Frosting For Chocolate Coke
Frosting is to a cake what jewelry is to a costume. It gives the
finishing touch. No matter how good a cake, it is made better by
a fine frosting. Sv«ry good cook has her own favorite frostings,
but she is always looU^ tor new ones, just as she looks for new
costume jewelry to complete her favorite new costume.
Apricot Fluil Frosting is a handsome new frosting for this Fall
and Winter. It is excellent on chocolate cake, and it goes equally
well on white or yellow cake. Its apricot flavor is delirate, as is
its lovely pastel color.
One of the joys at this attractive frosting is that it is easy to
make. The apricots come out of a baby-food can, all ready to
blend with the ilufty creamed margarine. Margarine creams so
smoothly and so easily that in a few minutes the sugar and fruit
are whipped in and the frosting is ready for the cooled cake.
One the reasons modem margarine is so satisfactory to us*
in making delicious frostings is- that Its texture is always carefully
controlled. Never too soft for serving, never too firm for creaming,
^ margarine quickly blends with other ingredients to help each ^
them do its best in the finished product
When you shop for pureed apricots on the baby-food shelf,
you’ll find that the apricots are usually blended with some other
fruit like apples. The combination gives this frosting a subtle
flavor that sets off any good cake to advantage.

Stir margarine and salt until soft and creamy. Add sugar
gradually, alternating with ai^ricot and lemon juice. Beat well after
each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Spread on cooled cakt.

Soil Testing Pays
Off For Fanner
RAUaGH, N. C.
A soil test saved John Isler
money In two ways.
Mr. bier, a tenant farmer en
the Dixon Farm in the Davies
Field section, was about te
purchase additional potash
when he had bis soil tested.
County Agent Sherman N.
Shelton says the soil test re
vealed that the land not only
didn’t need additional potash
but more of it would probably
have resulted in serious root
damage to the tobacco crop.
Islw used l,OtO pounds of
4-8-10 per acre and produced
1. r _
l,tM pokadt of tobMee Tfig
acre wUoh sold tor a M-eent
average. Ulus he was saved
the expense of purchasing on-
needed potash and from ad
ding something to the soil that
could Injm tbe crop rattier
than benefit it
Shelton says that many farm
ers aj^ly potash without soil
tests, often resulting in root
injury and lower yields.
