Val J- Washington, assistant Republican campaign manager, said last week. In comparing ihe candidates of the Republican and Demo cratic. parties, Washington said that adlions takers by Dewey in New York are more positive ilsan any ever taken by President Truman. Ho criticized the Truman campaign strategy as one de signed to “trap some votes” from the Neg Joes with ,promises. He (the President) is for any trick or device that some sharp practice adviser tells him will trap some votes/' Washington said. "Complaint is made that the President, was unable to do anything because of a. Republican dongress. V/hat can be do on civil rights v-'lfh n southern Democrat npngress? "He has power now to abolish segregation and discrimina tion in the armed forces . . Ha says he is going to appoint a committed to study ways and means to put 'equal' opportuni ties in tho armed forces, Wo know about separate but 'equal' opportunities as practiced all these years in transportation and schools." To back up his ciaim of the southern support of Truman, Washington named, southerns who he believes will get important positions if Truman is elected. Citing the New York anti-discrimination act and the,recently set up slate university system which bans discrimination in schools, Washington poinied out that Dewey acted to inako civii rights a reality. Hoeing has not discussed m» plan, hut this law is expected to oporntf just as the Mate FEPG law sc, npi-art l d tin. 1 *.. It ••.•‘•inference ■!g',l perse: without retort t'> Tills iaw i:-.

A city council committee of New York reported in 1946 that during- the past 25 years fewer than 50 Negroes had been graduated from medical schools in the state. Such dwriminmmg procr-dures a.; quota *ys.u.ni.: have been used to keep Jew out of most .(’bools.

R. | Roy Pearce, foreman, in a prelim- j mnry report. The prand jury promised a com- | pleto report before the end of uv j year. The investigation arose out j of the i-upr- of prisoner C O. i Btick" Germany escaped recently. ! 'The j u'isnoer, when cauglh, -our ; he would like to tell about what j was happening to other white con | victs in the Richland County , chaingang. Aftei the preliminary investiga tion, the grand jury said: "Tins grand jury is appalled by ! the method used in handling while ■ pi isomer.-: on the chaingang.” This | statement was made in a formal j presentment to Judge Martin in j so.-sions court. Atnore the things listed wrong : with the county chaingang system j vv c r f’; i 1 “Ofleutimo dangerous white l prisoners are taken from the jail j and made trusties at once." 2 WMtc trusties arc not under:, guard.

These were a few of the faults ; listed under the present system of; • •peration Under, this setup the sup- j I ervisor has absolute control over: ! the chaingang and how i! is opei- i j ftted. i The grand jury recommended •' ; .hat the sheriff and solicitor have i more to ray on what is to be done | with convicts, It also recommended i i that the county hoard of com - missieners have more power over j j the hiring of county employes.
