i knew that Harrison could not a
| gain be tried for the murder 0f
j Johnnie Mayo. The Supreme Court
'of Florida ruled that without the
confession there was no evidence
‘to involve Harrison, and since the
confession was procured illegally
it could not be used. At the trial
I there would be no evidence on
which to base a case.
The NAACP reminded the con
gressmen that those familiar with
the situation in the South do not
need to be told that when there
are such reversals by a southern
court there is certainly grave doubt
as to the guilt of a Negro.
“Opponents of federal anti-lynch
ing legislation,” the NAACP con
tinued, “have for years asserted
I that the states themselves would
do the job of preventing lynching
and punishing lynchers. The rec
ord demonstrates that these prom
ises have not been kept. In view,
therefore, of the immediacy of the
situation, it is imperative that the
Congress act without fail to add
the strong arm of the federal gov
ernment to those of the several
states to stop this tide of mob vio
lence at once before it causes us
either to lose the war or to pro
long it at the cost of the lives of
Americans.”
Marianna was the scene of one
of the most horrible of Southern
lynchings in October, 1934, whea
Claude Neal was put to death by
a mob which chased him all the way
to Brewton, Ala.

“LYNCHING”
(by MYRTLE M. GOODLOW)
Dear Reader:
This time the facts in rhyme
I Are very unpleasant to read
But we hope the truthful lines
Will help you understand, why
we continue to plead
For our country to right the
wrong
We have suffered so long
Lynching is a disgrace
To the human race, and to any
nation
Boasting civilization, and isn’t it
hypocrisy
To censor those across the sea
; Tor barbaric cruelty
When our country upholds bar
barity,
We are sure no savage, has ever
been
l Guilty of worse torture, Than
the American white man
Who lynches his fellowman,
Please help us in our fight
And help America too—to get
right
In God’s most holy sight.
The gathering crowd is allowed,
to go on their way
To take another’s life away
The laws they do not respect
For those who have sworn to
protect,
Their duties now gladly neglect.
For they too are on the job
i And leading members of the mob
I
I The human vultures, for the
victim’s blood now thirst
And so they strip him, naked as
the day of his birth
They hre now ready to attack, a
defenseless black
The fiends laugh merrily, as the
victim pleads for mercy
As they strike terrific blows
upon his back
They drag his torched body,
O’er the street
' Writhing in agony from head to
feet, and in his dying throes,
Cut off his fingers and toes, and
then his ears for souvenirs.
While another does still worse,
that cannot be put in verse.
And then one member of the
mob, with a Satanic grin
Thoroughly does his job, and
with a wild savage shout
Another gourges his eyes out
He who was once a human being
Has long before given up the
ghost
And his broken and bleeding
body, is now hung Upon a tree
or post
So all the world can see, their
crime of infamy
Even the devil in Hell, smarts
with envy,
To think that even he couldn’t
do quite so well
In his deeds of cruelty, to human
ity.
Through all the years to come,
they shall remember their evil
job wrell done
For a guilty conscience will
never let
One member of the mob to ever
forget, they shall always hear
his dying scream, and see his
torched body as they dream.
And when their life on earth is
done, and their judgement hour
shall come, they shall answer
to God
For the life 0f the victim they
robbed.

Plain Talk..
i •? . -—7--:--— ■ —
ELMER A. CARTER
In last week’s column I attempt
ed to outline the significance and
meaning of the mass walk outs by
white workers which have occurred
in many sections of the country
when Negro workers either were
taken into a plant engaged in war
work for the first time or were pro
moted to jobs demanding, greater
skill.
It doesn’t require much intelli
gence to see that behind this dis
play of race prejudice there is
planning and organization that is
nation wide. The strategy of these
Americano fascist( Negro haters is
much more subtle and dangerous
than the old Ku Klux Klan altho
their metohods are similar in that
both work in the dark. But the
modern ]Klux-er) does not attract
attention to himself by wearing i
white robes and black masks. He
works underground and his attack
is through labor organizations for
there he can easily play on the
poor whites’ fear of competition,
and his ignorance. His aim is this
latest move against the Negro is
to incite the workers and to plant
ion their minds the virus of active
racial antipathy. Once that is ac
complished the Negro, at the close
of the war, w-ill be forced out of
employment and the rest will be
comparatively easy. The threat of
mass walkouts will terrorize the
employer who will hesitate to run
the risk of financial loss by oppos
ing the will of his white employees.
And besides, the mass of white
worlrfers oncjte indoctrinated with
ideas of racial hatred can be man
ipulated to push forward toward a
more complete participation in Am
erican life. It is the force by
which reactionaries hope to reduce
the Negro to colonial status, to e
liminate him as a political factor
in the United States and to spread
the idea of racial segregation thru
out- the land.
To some Negroes and whites this
seems preposterous. “It can’t hap
pen here”_is their attitude. And
ished.
So to the Negro vote in 1944,
Roosevelt looks for support in his
ambitious fourth term program.
Unless the Republicans forthright
denounce the carpetbagging south
erners who are running from pro
gress; unless the Republicans show
some liberalism themselves and in
dicate their true poition, Mr. Roose
velt will have the Negro vote in his
pocket, regardless of how many
Negroes in Chicago voted for Sen.
Wayland Brooks and how many
Negroes in New York voted for
Dewey. This is another question
altogether and the southerners
are solidifying the Negro as no '
other medium has ever odne.
| MINISTERS HOLD HEALTH
INSTITUTE
Ministers who took advantage c.f
the Health Education Institute held
for them, at Dillard University last
week. Under the direction of Dr.
Paul B. Comely, of the school of
medicine at Howard University,
prominent authorities in medicine
offered lectures and demonstrations
o fparticular value to minsic-' s in
terested in raising the local stand
ards of health.
i
so they go along more or less plac
idly confident that the machinery
of racial adjustment which has
served them in the past will serve
them in the future. But the mach
inery of yesterday is old and creaky
and is inadequate for the gigantic
taks that the present and future
holds.
In last week’s column I suggested
that the Negro must meet the
threat within organized labor by
complete identification with organ
ized labor by joining so as to be
able to make the fight on the in
side. But this is not enough.
There must be a regrouping and a
new alignment of the liberal forces
in America if a tidal wave of reac
tion and anti-Negro sentiment does
pot sweep the country when the
war is over.
This new alignment of forces
must be on a nationwide scale.
The forces must consist of repres
entatives of the church, labor and
fraternal bodies, colleges and uni
versities, organized social work and
those groups in the community
which are committed to economic
an dsocial advance, both white and
black. And these forces must be
organized as a Unit to counter ad
verse propaganda and to act as the
first line of defense. They must
be ready also to take the offensive
and to utilize the churches, tile
schools, and the press in order to
Press home the battle for complete
democracy.
The basis of this organization
must be local and regional rather
than national. Its power must
stem from the bottom not from the
top. And it must be geared to
meet the problems peculiar to each
locality through men and women,
of both races who live there, who
make toheir living there, and who
are familiar with the hocial and e
conomic conditions which there pre
vail.
Tl^e individuals who compose
these bodies must be carefully sel
ected. They must not be those who
cannot stand the gaff when the go
ing geth tough, those who fear
that a forthright stand will invite
social or economic reprisal. Nor,
those whose livelihood depends up
on the whim or caprice of philan
thropy. In almost every commun
ity there are such as these. Small
in number but able if properly or
