Coukl Walter White Be Basking
Under Political Smoke Screen?
BY ALVIN E. WHITE
NEW YORK. (ANP). Despite the “know-nothing” atti
tude of Harlem’s political folk, Walter White’s name keeps
popping up as a candidate for Congress from Harlem this
fall.
Meanwhile, Mr. White is basking in the Caribbean sun
shine with his wife. He has denied all rumors which link
his name with any congressional aspirations. But that could
be the smake screen to decoy the other folks interested in
the post. No one wishes to accept the official responsibility ,
of making the first moves that will make White’s candidacy
Rankin and Sam Hobbs, etc.
Rankin hates the NAACP’s guts
and has blamed it for every evil
in the country, from corns to
Communism.

Adding confusion to an already
muddled situation is White’s re
quest that his resignation as
executive secretary of the NAACP
be withdrawn. This and his re
turn to the job, will be discussed
in May, it is reported. Should
Mr. White be permitted to return
to his job with the NAACP
through which he won national
fame, will it be to use the job as
a spring board into Congress?
Backed by the NAACP, which
could ill-afford to not endorse
one of its officials, his election
would be a foregone conclusion.
Although the NAACP declares
it is a non-political organization,
it has been accused of swaying
voters in favor of certain candi
dates. This happened last year,
when the Republicans said the
NAACP was aiding President
Truman’s candidacy.
Nothing would be more wel
come to the President than the
election of Walter White who
would be a “friendly” congress
man from a powerful state with
lots of electoral votes. This is not
the case today, although Congress- !
man Powell has quieted down
considerably since the unfortunate
spluttering landed him in the
White House dog-house. If for
no other reason, Mr. Truman

would welcome Powell’s ousting,
being that Truman is a man of
strong likes and dislikes. White’s
friendship with Truman stems
from the days of the Truman
committee investigating war
frauds and employment. Demo
crats know that Mr. Truman
would take an active part in any
New York campaign involving
Walter White, should he decide
to run to represent Harlem.
