C., was one of the scores of mothers
and next of kin, who received Mar
iner’s Medals on National Maritime
Day, May 22, 1944, following the loss
of their merchant seamen relatives
in action against the enemy. Mrs
Bryant is shown learning from An
drew McMurray, a shipmate, how
her 21-year old son, Leroy Melvin O’'
Bryant, a fireman and water tender,
lost his life on January 25, 1944, when
his ship was torpedoed and sunk 30 |
hours out of Murmansk. Young O’-1
Bryant was the eldest of thirteen
children, six boys and seven girls. The
youth, who planned to study engin
eering when the war ended, had serv
ed 13 months with the merchant mar- •
ine and had been a member of the
crew of a previous ship which was
torpedoed. Following his own res
cue, McMurray, Leroy’s bunkmate,
made a special trip to Washington, to
see Mrs. O’Bryant. (PPNS).

WHITE WOMANHOOD USED
IN TEXAS FIGHT AGAINST
SUPREME COURT EDICT
(Continued from page 1)
offspring may be coal black. In
Sherman, Texas, a white girl made
an impulsive ‘war marriage' with
what she thought was a white sold-!
ier. After he had been sent over
seas, her child was born. It was
black. This is not rumor—the story
is well known in Sherman. After
some frantic cablegrams, the marr
iage was annulled. The baby was
finally adopted by the black grand
parents, who live in the north. Will
your daughter marry a Negro?
'Not if the laws of Texas can help
it! But how soon will they, too, be
cancelled out by supreme court rule?
Who is behind this move to mix
black and white blood in the south?”
Agitation against the supreme court
continued by pointing out the 1935»
verdict in favor of white primaries,
by calling attention to the fact that
“the constitution has not changed,”
then inquiring about the personnel of
the U. S. Supreme court. “Who is
their boss?” the handbill asked. “Isn't
it Franklin D. Roosevelt? Didn’t he
appoint them all, hut one?”
Beside an attack on the President,
open attacks were made on Mrs. El
eanor Roosevelt, wife of the Pres!-,
dent, who publicly defies all southern
race traditions; the Kelly-Nash mach
ine and Mayor Frank Hague of New
Jersey were berated. All outsiders,
especially Yankees, were attacked.
“Blackman—beware,” the handbill
warned. Texas Negroes were told
how good the southern Negro has
been— in his place. The tempo of
the handbill appealed to the slave
minded element to keep the right to
rule Negro citizens against the will of
the Negro citizen. Unless whites
rule Negroes against the will of Ne
groes, there will be blood shed, the
handbill inferred.
“Why should any gang of politic
ians risk being the cause of bloody
race riots across the land?” it inquir
ed. “Because votes mean power. To
get the votes of the northern Negro,
what has the New Deal crowd prom
ised them? How far will it go?

How far will you let it go?”
The reader was reminded that it
will not be long "nol the Democratic
primaries in July. "When you vote
will it be for puppets whose strings
are pulled by Yankee gangsters and
political racketeers who would cru
cify the white south for votes? Are
they white Democrats—or black?
Make it your business to know. Make
them declare!”
A last punch at President Roose
velt concluded the devious appeals a
gainst authority, law and order. ‘And
when you vote for President, ask
yourself this: Is any man good e
nough to lead your party, who be
lieves your daughter should marry a
Negro? Or whose wife believes ti?
Hasn’t Eleanor (meaning Mrs. Roose
velt) already said she believes in in
termarriage? Are they good enough
to lead America?”
The appeal ended as it had begun
by an effort of white men to hide
behind the skirts of white woman
hood to achieve their political obiect
ives. “When you vote, think: Will
my daughter marry a Negro? Noth
ing else even begins to count.”

carry plenty of weight.
China’s trade unions, too, They
aren’t very big, yet. But Chinese
know about discrimination and about
pay so low you can't eat right. It’s
important for them to be there.
And the CIO. Yes, that’s real im
portant. Because Phil Murray has
already told the British what he want
ed on the order of business. And his
first point under postwar reconstruc
tion is this: “Our guiding principle
should be a recognition of the right
of the peoples within each nation,
whether large or small, and without
any distinction by reason of race,
creed or color, to enjoy the Four
Freedoms.”
That means us, brother. So keep
your eyes on London next week. That
meeting’s right up our alley.
VISIT FROM ELEANOR
The West Indian delegation to the
London meeting may reach home in
time to greet Mrs. Roosevelt. She’s
going to British Guiana, and if we
know Eleanor, she’ll do all right. The
First Lady has a way of putting the
Peglers and Talmadges in their place
—and with polish.
The West Indian delegates will
come back with a strong hand. They’ll
bring full backing for their program:
L—Self-government and full adult
suffrage in a West Indies Federation.
2. —West Indian representation in
peace negotiations.
3. —A natural resources survey of
British Guiana, with a view to indus
trial development.
4. —Agreement with the U. S. for
ending control of Caribbean bases on
termination of hostilities.
That program came out of a recent
conference of Guiana and West In
dian labor organizations. And with
unanimous West Indian approval.
Given a feiv strong words from
Eleanor on the meaning of the Four
Freedoms and the necessity for apply
ing them at home, and West Indian
labor may start spurring the Anglo
American Caribbean Commission on
to bigger and higher goals.

lace, the Vice President, who coined
the phrase "century of the common
man.” What Wallace says to the
Chinese will be news, and big news.
He’s arriving in Chungking when
people are complaining that the land
lords and warlords won’t pay their
fair share of the war taxes. Chiang
Kai-Shek can’t run the war without
money. Wallace is an expert on ag
riculture, and China's an agricultur
al country. Watch for Chiang to
I put some of Henry’s ideas into prac
[ tice.
More important, watch for Henry’s
I visit to release a million Chinese sold
| iers to fight the Japanese. They're
the soldiers Chiang’s quisling war
minister. General Ho, has been using
to blockade the Chinese Communists.
That hurts our interests. We want
the Chinese to help us beat Japan.
And China can’t do that with Chin
ese fighting Chinese.
Henry’s the man to help keep China
united. He’s had plenty of practice,
what with the big landlords of Dixie
snping at his farm program. He
made it stick, however, and many an
independent Negro planter today can
thank the Vice President for his es
cape from debt and share-cropping.
GANDHI'S CHANGE
Next in importance to the probable
result from Wallace’s trip to Chung
king is, for Asia, the conversion of
Mohandas Gandhi. Yes, Gandhi is
said to be a changed man. And as
soon as he recovers from his long
siege in prison, he'll prove it.
The story has it that Gandhi is
now willing and eager to meet with
representatives of the Moslem Lea
gue and the Indian Communist Party.
In other words, he’s for uniting all
the people of India.
That's something new, if true. We’ll
have to wait and see. But if true,
when Gandhi confers with these two
groups sometime this month, the re
seults can be momentous. If all
parties agree on a program, a united
India can be a powerful factor for
world peace and prosperity.

EBOUE'S SUCCESSOR
DeGaulle's Committee of Liberat
ion must name a successor to the late
Felix Eboue. When his name is pro
nounced, check it.
It’s probable he won’t be able to do
the job of Eboue. That man was
gifted, brother. He had courage. He
had experience. He was a wise ad
ministrator.
DeGaulIe owes his position to
Eboue. If the Negro Governor had
not taken Chad province into the
Free French camp, Equatorial Africa
might not have gone. And if Equat
orial Africa had gone to Vichr, we’d
still be sending convoys around the
Cape of Good Hope—if we wouldn’t
be trying to defend Brazil from a
Nazi invasion.
To replace Eboue, the committee’s
appointee will have to—
/.—Insist 011 the encouragement and
subsidization of native production;
2. —Fight for the extension of ed
ucation to Africans;
3. —Protect African political insti
tutions in order to conserve African
culture, and as a basis for eventual
self-rule ;
!t.—Oppose the recruiting of Afric
an labor for plantation work;
5.—Fight for tht dez’clopment of
African industries for the benefit of
the African people.
That’s a big order for a colonial ad

DYNAMITE
(BY GEO. H. DAVENPORT)
POLL TAXES—POLITICIANS
You have heard
and read much a
bout the Poll Tax
Bill now pending
in the U. S. Con
gress. The Poll
Tax was created
to help prevent
Negroes in the
South from voting
It is rarely over
one dollar a year
and “Should not
■ keep anyone from
voting who wants Geo. Davenport
to vote. Most of this money goes for
the upkeep of schools—and this wri
ter agrees that one dollar a year is
not too much to pay for an education
—but! You and I know that the poll
tax doesn t prevent the Negro from
voting and the proportoin of money
alloted to Negro education is pract
ically nil. Having lived in the south
30 years, we are of the opinion that
in the poll tax fight there is ‘‘much
ado about nothing.” First—if the
poll tax bill is repealed—Mr. Win
chester and Mr. Lynch are still topi
men in the South, and some schemes
are being thrashed out in case the bill
passes the House and Senate. We
sometimes wonder if the Negro m
the South would benefit by the bal
lot? Now, before you boil over—
ponder over the argument below. We
have here in Chicago more of our
people elected to office than any city
in America. We have never been de
nied the ballot. W etake a keen in
terest in both Democratic and Reoub
lican elections, and yet—we ahve no
control over our own district. Al
though the Mayor has claimed re
peatedly that there is no discrimin
ation on account of color, our fire
men and policemen are treated like
the half castes in India and are rel
egated to the exclusive Negro dis
tricts, yet; in the 3 districts c impris
ing Bronzeville “the Ballot”, the same
“ballot” our Southern Drethern are
fighting for—is not opwerful enough
We Render_
The type of service requested
regardless of creed or organic- j
ation, so when the time for re
membering comes it will bring I
only solace and consolation . that j
the loved one was laid to rest
with a dignified and gracious kind
of funeral service,—priced unthin
j the family’s means.

POLL TAX SUGGESTION
New York (C) Suggests S. M. Me
Laughlin as a fitting solution to the
, Poll tax question, “If the majority of
the people in the U. S. A., got behind
the down-trodden minority and start
ed subscription for a fund to pay the
poll tax of these underprivileged cit
izens, I don't think there would be a
poll tax question again.”
