PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS ABOUT NEGRO POLICEMEN II lias been reported that in answer to the complaint that Raleigh has no uni formed Negro police officers the city au thorities responsible are willing to make uniformed patrolmen of the only two cob ored men now on the force. That is not what the Negro citizens have been working for. hey are satis tied w sth the status of the present two officers, except that there is a strong reel ing that they should l>.- officially recog nixed as detectives and at least one of them designated detective sergeant. Both have rendered good and efficient service as squad car men. What Raleigh’s Negro citizens want is the anointment of now Negro uniformed officers. Other North ( arolina cities of comparable size have more Negro polka men than Raleigh, most, of them in uni form, and in some cities older ns on on the force have been promoted. Our offi cers, though possessors of excellent rec ords, have had no advancement in rank, though they have served for a number of years. These should ho additional Negro of ficers. Opportunity for advancement in rank and in pay should be open to the colored officers, those employed now, and those to come, BRIGHT SPOTS In the midst of gloomy news-on the in ter-racial front wo were glad to find two shining exceptions. One was that of the election of E. Franklin Frazier to the presidency of the American Sociological Society ; the other was concerning t h < closing of the Negro branch of the library at Charlottesville, Virginia, and the open ing of the main library to ail citizens. Sociologists demonstrated their relative emancipation from bigotry and prejudice a few years ago when none other than the Southern Sociooigicai Society chose Dr Charles S. Johnson, now president of Fisk University, as its president. As one of the leading sociologists of the South Dr. Johnson richly deserved the honor, and his southern colleagues were not afraid to bestow it on him. Now the American Sociological Society, the leading nation wide organization in the field, has madt Dr. Frazier president. For many years a distinguished teacher and scholar, Dr Frazier has taught in white institutions as well as at Howard University and sev eral other Negro institutions. His pub ications in the field have been widely acclaimed for their excellence from the literary as well as the scientific point of view. It is an honor to his race as well as a deserved tribute to him personally that Dr. Frazier should be chosen to pre side over the American Sociological So ciety, Charlottesville follows at least two other Virginia cities in the sensible policy of-elimnatiug the unnecessary expense and the inferior (for some) service involved in maintaining one library or white and another for “cullud”. Th< resolution by which t h t* library board promulgated the new policy de clared that there was “no occasion at this time for segregation -of the races in the use of the city library,” and cited the experience of t b e other Virginia cities which had abandoned segregation in that service.

Mayne Albright, one of {he five candidates so far to announce for t h e Democratic nomination for the govern orship, has come out in favor of full re peal of the North Carolina genera! sales, tax. This declaration pine is him very high on the CAROLINIAN’s list of desirables. We should like to hear what Mr. Johnson oid Mr. Scott, generally regarded by knowing political observers as the two leading contenders, think about the sales tax. North Carolina’s sales tax was enacted back in the dark days of depression as an emergency revenue measure, and with apologies to the people of the state, these apologies were accompanied by a prom ise that the tax would be abolished when the emergency had passed. Now North Carolina’s officialdom boasts of its fine financial condition, but the tax remains. It is a bad tax It. is a nuisance. But wlia* is more important in making it a bad taxes that it has little relation to ahii :y to pay h weighs mmv heavily on the poor than it does on the rich and well to do Onh real necessity can justify the retention of such a tax, and that necessity has ceased ;.o exist. Mr A bright says that ‘he people want relief from the sales tax If they don’t they ought to. TF-so m favor of retaining it remind one of people who borrow mon ey from friends during an emergency, with a promise to repay as soon as pos sible. but never feel prosperous enough to return what they have borrowed. And of course large property owners and in dividuals and corporations in the high in come brackets know that, the more re venue is raised by the inequitable sales tax the less danger there is that other tax rales will have to b< raised in tin future. The sales tax ought to go. At the very least the people should know how each man seeking the govemorahip stands on the issue of abolishing or retaining it and those who- favor the latter should be able to give some very good reasons for their opinion. INASMUCH In speaking of the European Recovery Program and aid to needy people in coun tries other than our own thro ugh out the world a churchman recently sounded a note which should be a persistent one. He said: “Whatever other motives there are. ours is the Inasmuch motive of St Matthew 25.” Os course the reference is to the par aide of the Last. Judgment: “Then shall the King s&v unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father . . . for 1 was hungry and you gave rne to eat . . naked and ye clothed me . . Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, lord when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee” . . or naked, and clothed thee? . . . And the King.shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you. In asmuch as ye did it unto one of these re v brethren, even these least, ve did it unto me.” Aid to the needy may bo regarded as political strategy in the struggle for ascendancy: it, may be thought of and talked of as a weapon against the spread of the Communist menace - it: may be a medium of exchange by which we attempt to buy friends for and adherents to our ideology of government and economics. But the motive of real Christians should be and is at bottom the Inasmuch motive. What America may do from any other consideration may or may not achieve our goals; but we kn o w we are eternally right when we render aid because aid is needed; because all men are brothers of ..CTirkt and brothers of each, .other. ._ THE CAFvOLTNTAN -l L " v x, -.- • - • -"■V:...x- ~ . ,•• /c. „.-dv r . v .r-•' -A-fftNy*! 1 1 : - , t*-' ' • ’’ •* ,7‘V' »- 0, 'Aawy. y>.Nu l-pax; >- .Utah v - v ■ yggiyu j -SOUTHERN MOBILIZATION'- 8; Jeccncl llicuuhts j i| ay c, d.

There ;ee three things that stirred me deeply The iir.il was the learn work that scorned to characterize the activities of the eoliege. It i> otiru'iinu:; charged, that where all Negro faculties pre\ail them is always the .subtle current es di>t c.lr, and jealous ies end disturbing machination:-, that scnon.dv hamper the large: program. 1 spirit enough time on tlv. campus to note that Presi dent Axi on le own knows that it is all a bout: and that he is in no sense a teacher driver. He seems to sense the fact that ‘'driven" ' teacher cannot deliver due course. This fine nunc, school founded by D; Hollv is facing front m a big way. it will be heard horn. A smooth running college is a big as.-et not only to highway through mid campus, we have here one of the finest and most beautiful eclage plants in the country and manned by one of the finest faculties administering to one of the best mannered student bodies it he* been my fortune to meet. While on the nmpus Go\ Thompson spoke, and 1 got a close up of the man in Georgia who is faring the most dreadful odds. Got Thompson :s an intelligent, kindly-faced Georgia gentleman, and a.- I looked at him 1 wondered what chance would he •hav.*' against Hie mb:sir rousers spearheaded by voeng Talvnadge and his fire-eating cohorts, But Gmv. Thompson is pitching ms cam paign on high ground, and if sufficient support is not fort-coming among the decent elements Georgia it will not be his fault. He is giving Georgia another great opportunity to redeem itself from Talmadgisrn. There is something pathetic u hen a gentleman is 'thrown out against nan iikt TaSmudge and his Negsu baiting crowd. Those who defy this political thuggism deserve the gratitude of decent men everywhere. They face martyrdom for a noble cause. In the cours« >f his non-political peed Gov ■ utipson p<bnted out the progress Georgia had made w ithin the past past 10 years: pointing out that Georg!:- was now boasting of nme-month schools throughout and that the equalization of salrr.es, was going on space and that Georgia teach.-rs were getting salaries on al2 month basis 1 could hard! > lieiiove my e being from Virginia where salo n . are on a 10-month basis. Georgia with a nine-month school year • : -.i.g:i*-u1 and with salaries be mg equah-wd on a 12- nonth basis' I bci.*; v to wonder just how bad is Georg• i anyway? Georgia has had such unfavorable publicity and so long and in such profu sion that it -■ ra'her difficult tor me to app-eeiatc what the govern'.:' wax .-.ay■ ng. But Georgia is fighting gamely to throw off he. shackles and while she keeps up the fight there is no need to despair. 1 hav. i■ ino morv Pian <mc occasion that Georgia’s moral growth r: :/v or-bably is grt atei than that of any southern s'ate.
