Thou- ands of wliites li ave said far more about the Soviet Union than Paul Hobeson. For instance, the Kev. Hewlett Johnson, arch bishop of Canterbury, has writ ten a book in which he speaks out boldly in the interest of Russia; Heurj’ Wallace has ex- pre^d himself as thinking fav orably of peace and accord with the iSoviet. The late l*resiilenl, Roosevelt ^expressed open atl-" miration for Premier Josef Staliu; but upon none of these _, Nordics were visited the hate and spleen as is today heaped upon the head of Paul liobeson. Using this type of yardstick one - maj' ta^ily assume there may be some merit^n the observatioit of Dr. FrazierSi^ By the same jbeasuring rule one may obser\-e the average as sault made upon Ben Davis, Communist Xew York council man, who was defeated last week in the Gotham election. One would not have to be a Com munist tcA^^ire Ben Davis. We developed esT?'?^ and admira tion for Ben Davis when single- handed and alone he took up the lf*jral cudsels for Anurelon Hern don, and before he had joined the Conmmnist party. There is nothinjr that Ben Davis has ever done since that time that has lessened our reverence and high respect for this fine manly black man who thinks for himself, and to our judgment epitomizes all that there is in courage, audacity and resolution. This is a quality sadly lacking among Xejrro leaders of tiie present century.

BROWER, your public relations counselor say “Goodnite Sweetheart” from the Logan Building 5-7751 or J-8811. There has been utter and abso- liite iinw iriingness during recent uturies to seriously regard the thinking and jndgnient of black men. This is part of the eon- spiraey that suggests black in- feriorit>'. That is why any Xe* fiTO who parrots the will (jf the majority rai-e is arbitrarily set np as a leader. A city manager in a certain town told a Negro onfidant simietime ago tliat when he was elevated to the pos- sition he holds he was told to lis ten to 3 Negroes. You can, of 'i.'anrse, understand that each of tliis trio are one hundred per (^■nt rncle Toms, and it is not- f tcKe that when Negroes find out that certain blacl\ in the community have this transitory power conferred upon them they immediately become recofmize.d, as instrumentalities thr6ugh which certain favors come, and therefore are immediately ele vated out of their natural im portance in the Negro commun ity. On the other hand, the black man who exhibits a disposition to think for himself is immedi ately marked for the tommy- hawk. C'ollusion is reached in control centers to see that every effort of this individual fails. Just a few failures of ventures Merry Christmas! And Don’t Forget to Mail That Christmas Seal Letter! mmx We have said all this in order to let everyone kno'w that we re gret Ben Davis failed re-efei-tion as councilman in New York I which udice, and especially bias he dis covered ill a (fcorgia courtroom, the evil that drove him to 'oiiimuiiisHi. It was becausi' he aught justice peeping over her rjuestionable glasses in an A- mericaii courtro»m that caused lien Davis to turn toward ('om- niunisin, and away from our pre tentions of democracy. What he saw in an American courtroom in the land of Talmadge caused something to die within him and he decided to try another and uncharted sea. Of course if Ben Davis had bowed his head lu resignation and submission to the prejudice and racc hate he discovered all about him he would today be classified as a loyal black man, but during the trial he discover ed the only substantial assistance that came to him in his hour of travail issued from Com munists. America should get down on bended knees and ask God to make the decision as to whether Ben Davis was right or whether'he was wrong. We think the crux of this is sue rests in the independent and self-reliant judgment these two black men have exercised in reaching major decisions. They want to change social, economic and political conditions under thirteen million sable- Army Board To Review Negro Policy Progress Appointment of a board of general olficcrs ti> review the current i>olicies and prccedures lOiiceining utilization of Negro iiiHiipower in the Army was an- 4it unced today by- Secretary of Ilf Army Gordon Gray, 'Hie board will consist of i. ieiiteiiant General Stephen J. liaiiiberlin, Commanding Gen eral of the Fifth Army, who will serve as President; Major Gen- v-ral Withers A.

Misinforming The Governor (Cotitimied from Page Two) eastern North X'arolina or other sections of the State. Instead of a millstone around the Gov ernor’s neck he has the opportunity of his life to be a great help in working out a better un derstanding between the races on the matter of educational opportunities for the Negro. But h^ cannot do it by (piibbling, by. niisinforniing the Governor and b.v the old techuique of saying things merely to tickle th.e ears of those in pow er. If the State is spending the current funds on an “equitable basis.” then the State is per- petuatii'g inequalities, as abundant documentary evidence gathered by the State proves beyond any doubt that current facilities are not ecpial. Dr. Trigg is sail to believe he has been ap pointed to the Board, “not as a Negro member,” but as a citizen of North Carolina. This ap pears to be a new technique which Southern white folks are using to conterbalance the Ne gro's demands for “integration” within the pattern of life here in the South. This is indeed welcome news. One wonders, however, who the white people in the South have been represent ing on Hoards of Education through the years. If the State is spending the school bond funds f)ii an eijiiitable basis, such funds are not going towanl the equalization of facilities as was iH'commetided by the report received by the 1949 legislature, or, indeed, as indicated in a survey of needs. To permit the spending of funds on an equal basis now becomes not only discriminatory, but apparently contrary to the dictates of the Iiefi:islature. Ecpiality in the spending of funds for State schools at this state merely perpetuatgs existing inequalities. . Perhaps Dr. Trigg should be given a word of warning. First of all, Negroes in North Carolina are under no illusions about the “due consickra- tion” which he says they are rei^iving im the Staate’s allocation of school fnndsNlf h^rmust make statements of this kind, then he should at least supplement his irresponsible comments to newspapers and the Governor with facts to substantiate his case. In the second place, Dr. Trigg would do well to attend more closely to affairs in his own Iniiliwiek at St. Augustine’s college, where the faculty and student morale is reportedly at an all-time low. We believe Governor Scott is honest about his desire to treat Negroes of this state as cit izens, we believe he appointed Trigg with the hope that the Negro educator would give him honest and straightforward advice on Negro aspirations and activities. Tiiis Mr. Trigg has failed^to'do, and the Governor in the light of such failures would be justified in requesting his.re*iignation. „ Homemaking Classes Begin At Hillside ) Adult Homeinaking Classes began at the High School Home- making Cottage on I'mstead Street Thursday night, Novem her 9 at 7 :00 o’clock.
