whatvs wrong With the house;
It would seem that the ilousc of Kep-
rescntulives has ifune all the wuy iii re-
pudiatiiij; the leadership of the Adiniiii-
btralioii. Within the space of a few diiyt'
the House voted at) extension of Stdective
&i-ivice which is about us fur from the
nieasuie asked by the Pre.-iident, the Stn-
fetary of War and the Army hi^h com
mand as could be, und voted a so-called
extension of OP4 price conirol which
would practically and effective price con
trol.
President Trumun and hU advisers hud
made it very clear that the administration-
sponsored bills on both these iniporrunt
subjects were vitally nece.ssary in hisopin
km. Yet never in recent years has the
House of Kepresentutives ho completely
ignored the requests and recurnmendu-
tions of the Administration, h^pecially
overwhelming was the vole against the
President in the OPA issue—H5.1 to lli.
Which means that not siniply the lamilicr
Kepubluan houtherii democrat coalition,
hut a large number of the President's u^-
ual supporters as well, voted to emubco
late price cnotioi. The llou.se went bri-
serk. and it was a rout for Truman.
As serious as was the defeat for the
Administration's prestige, the Hou.se vote
practically to end price control when iti«
present act expires on lune HO is of far
more vital import. It means that unles.s
the Senate blocks the House bill and so
forces the passage of a compromise meas
ure mure in line with the actual dentand.s
jf the situation, the nation is faced witn
a real fimt clas.s influliou, w ith prices of
necessary commodities skyrocketing.
How the House could be a paity to in
vitmg such disaster is not ea-sily explain
ed. True, Chester Bowles is unpopular
with Congress; the OPA has been severely
criticized by busine.ss mon’.-t and far^ier.^'
organizations: Congress evidently ihinkK

How the House could be a party to in
viting such disaster is not easily explain
ed. True, Chester Bowles is unpopular
with Congress; the OPA has been severely
criticized by business men's and farmers’
organizations; Congress evidently thinks
little of Truman's leadership. But the
dangers of runaway prices are obvious;
they have been recognized and acknow
ledged by even a majority of manufactur
ers and retailers and other business men
It may be that the articulate opponenU
of the OPA have made more written and
vocal protests to their Congressmen than
tile opponents of inflation. IMce control
ia a tough political issue at best, since
everyone wants ceilings removed from
what he has to sell, even though willing
to have them applied to other things.
It is to be hoped that the Senate will
show more moderation, more common
sense, and more concern for the stability
of our national economy and the general
welfare of all the people than has the
ahcckingly irresponsible House of Repre
sentatives.
WASHINGTON HIGH AGAIN
Whatever llie meriw of the protes’
nade jy Washingloi. iHgh S'-hooI stu-
ieiits concerning conditions in the school
mfeteria (and it is evident that they have
lome grounds for dissiitinfaL :ion), e real
benefit accrues in that the attention of
.he entire city of Raleigh has been called
o the generally uiusatisfactory condition.'*
it the school. Superintendent Sanderson
n replying to the specific complaint
makes it clear that there are other things
which need remedying at Washington
High, most uf the unsatisfactory condi
tions being related to the inadequacy of
the building for the things which are sup-
posd to be done in it.

history by bcocming proliably the iii-s'.

to take a stand.
One of the explanations of the frequent failure of rare relations
is the colossal (earlessnesj of the interracialists. Negroes too afraid
to h( calico "Uncle Toms ' and whites too afraid to be called '‘Ne
gro Lovers" with everybody trying to play safe. Mrs. Roosevelt
has given to the world in general the pattern uf interracial pro-
gtess. Somebody has got to take it' Somebody must be prepared
to tulluw the unpopular course.
Moral courage is one uf the great needs uf politics, diplomacy
and race relations and great Mrs. Roosevelt has shown the waj.
Hers u the only kind of interracialism tiiat is going to succor the
minority groups. This great woman stands in moral majesty among
mui at pigmies who clamour for her very life but who are unworthy
to wipe the dust from her sandals. Her position is powerful because
11 is deomcratic and it u Christian. This great wumui. is a symbol
ut Du- world's greatest moral integrity. When she appears t>efure
the judgment seat uf Christ she ceiiainly will not have to apologize
ftii her treatment of her -.olored fellowmen.
Th’ IS today nowhere any o’her person who even remotely
approaches Mrs. Roosevelt in her interracial attitudes. She is never
ctindescending nor patronizing. She is always humanly gracious.
It I-, just as natural for Mrs. Roosevelt to be considerate and kindly

the restriclioiiH on the performance uml

would not be permitted to arrest a white

North Carolina und southern cilieh sin.
ilar stipulations have been made private

Such resiriclions of course limit sei-
iously the ability of the Negro nfficer.H
to perform their appoint»*d function ol
“maintaining law and order." There ik
evidently a conflict as between llie con,-

a crime, inside or outside the “Negro sec

the common luw charges any citizen vvitn
the duty to act to restrain a person dis
covered in the act of committing a felony.
The police department would not forg;v

*rht time Is fast uporoaching for
the botiKs o: North Carolina to open
up for registration in order to de
termine those who are qualified
and those who may wish tn vote in
the forth coming election. Registci
ing und voting are citizenship du
ties and responsibilities whch can-
*-0*. be taken t- o seriously. The In
tegrity and calibre of the people
who will be elected, and thereby
given the authority to direct the gen
era! welfare, will be determined by
the interest which the electorate
hows in this coming election.
Among the many n^asons why
(teople do not register and vote is
t lark of working knowledge of
-tie (irocedure to register aiid vote
Therefore. I sincerely believe th:;t
-uch organizations es Chu'ches.
Teachers Associations. Porent Teach-
Hfs Asa-xiatlons. Secret Orders, So-
■ iai and Civic Clubs Khould pul
f'Tth strenuous efforts to see that
all 'f their members know the rule^

'•ritix and vo;lrig. Moreover, I be
lieve that such organlZHtions should
.mpri'-s their merrl'ers with the
‘ >ct that it is their citizenship du-
De- to register and vote.
ft U Interesting to r.'tte thet In
Japan's first free election 76 per*
rent of the people qualified to
vole exercised this privilege. In
ur 1944 eleclion 76 per cent of
thf qualified voters in the entire
nation voted, but in North Caro
lina only 40 per cent of those quali
fied (o vote exesclsed their right
to the ballot.
The fullowig are a few of the
requirements fur registering: (1)
One must be 21 years of age. •$>
One must be able tu read and
write in the English language anv
section of the Constitution of the
United Stales or of North Carolina
to the satisfaction of ihe registrar.
4> One must not have been con
victed nor toiift-ssed guilt in open
court, punishment of which is im
prisonment in th*r Slate Prison,
without having been restored to
citizenship. (5i One must have liv
ed in Nurth Carolina at least one
year, and in the precinct ur dis
trict in which one intends to vote
four muiilhs, immediately preced-
.iig the election.
