RACE RIOTS
AREN'T NECESSARY
By Allred McClung Lee
Race riots are only symptoms of
something much deeper and bigger
than “the breaking of heads and store
fronts, the beating and terrorizing of
streetcar and bus passengers, the
shooting of defenseless and inoffen
sive women and men, the burning of
automobiles.” This thesis is set forth
by Alfred McClung Lee, professor
an ddepartinent chairman of sociology
at Wayne University, author of sev
eral books and formerly of the Insti
tute for Propaganda Analysis, who in
vestigates race riots, probes to the
very roots of the problem and sug
gests corrective action in the latest
Public Affairs Pamphlet, Race Riots
Aren't Necessary.
The result is a simple and positive
approach to the complex set of con
flicts known as “the race problem.”
Every citizen, especially those ac
cepting civic, labor and religious re
0 sponsibility should read and use the
measures suggested to prevent and
cure the effects of the dread disease
of racism. Race Riots Aren’t Neces
sary is available at Workers Defense
® League, 112 E. 19 St., New York 3,
N. Y.
While not minimizing the surface
results of discrimination, Lee recog
nizes the fact that these are only re
sults of the real evil which “is the
perverse inhumanity of man to man
known as racial intolerance or ‘scape
goatism’.” He points out that “scape
goatism” is the common denominator
that brought about Nazism in Ger
many, Fascism in Italy, and Ku Klux
Klanism and the 1943 Detroit race
riot in the United States.
While reminding us that racism is
the result of poor housing for minori
ties, job discrimination, rumors, police
bias, delinquency, and negative police
attitudes, Lee also gives some very
pointed suggestions that individuals
and communities can use to combat
any threatening crisis or active race
riot. He is far too astute, however, to
assume that it is sufficient to wait for
danger signals. He insists that there
is no substitute for a long-term pro
gram to promote sound race rela
tions, giving several leads to follow
and making the warning that such
planning is necessary in all American
communities.
Lee is no “inspired” soapbox ha
ranguer with a “mission.” He knows
the nature of the problem he attempts
to solve, and he knows the limitations
of the material—namely the sheltered
and poorly informed but essentially
honest and well-meaning American
public—with which he hopes to sblve
the problem.
Any shortcomings in the pamphlet
may be attrabuted to the lack of space
given the author; he has oversimpli
fied several aspects, but he has at
tempted to compensate by including a
bibliography which is qualitatively ex
cellent. The pamphlet is illustrated
with the delightful drawings charac
teristic of Public Affairs Pamphlets,
and which are such assets to the sub
jects covered.

Gwendolyn Brooks was bom in
June, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas and
lives in Cii«.agu. sne graduated from
Englewood High School in 1934 and
from Wilson Junior College in June,
1936. In September, 1939, she mar
ried Henry L. Blakely. She has had
poetry published in numerous maga
zines and is at work on a novel.
William Rose Benet writes: “A
STREET IN BRONZEVILLE” by
Gwendolyn Brooks is the work of a
remarkable young poet. Her BAL
LAD OF PEARL MAY LEE is in
delibly tragic. Her book, throughout,
has dramatic vigor and unusually ex
pressive phrase. Miss Brooks is as
original, as dynamic as Langston
Hughes. She is saliently individual.
Richard Wright has written of Miss
Brooks’ work: “She is a real poet.
There is no self-pity here, nor a
striving for effects. She takes hold of
reality as it is and renders it faith
fully . . . She easily catches the pathos
of pretty destinies; the wimper of the
wounded; the tiny accidents that
plague the lives of desperately poor,
and the problem of color preju

OVERTONES
By AI Heningburg
THE ATOMIC BOMB
When the first atomic bomb shat
tered Hiroshima last Sunday night,
the world saw much more than a
tremendous advance in the science of
destruction. Even the Japanese must
have realized that the human race is
capable of destroying itself. Unless
the makers of wars at home and
abroad realize that all men every
where now stand at the crossroads,
there is little hope for what we call
civilized man. And every person who
hates another human being, whether
he live in Houston or Hiroshima, in
' Birmingham or Berlin, is helping to
point the way to destruction. While
the great secret is now in the hands
of a peaceful nation, it will be only a
| matter of time before the scientists
the world over will know what is
now known in this country.
We who love peace must speed up
I the progress of closing the wide gap
j between what we do with machines
| and what we do to each other. Either
we shall learn to live together peace
fully upon the face of the earth, or
atomic bombs of our own making may
erase every sign of the civilization of
which we boast. -
The Case for India
We in this country know very little
of .the true story of what is going on
in India. The wall of censorship
thrown up by the British cuts off all
communication which does not meet
with the approval in Lopdon. We
never hear the true account of famine
and disease, and when authentic
news does leak through, P\1 is the
only major newspaper in the country
which carries the story. When young
! Indians \isit in this country, their
every move is watched, and practi
cally every word spoken in public is
duly recorded an dtransmitted. If the
people of India could tell their story
unmolested in this country, we w'ould
feel very differently about many of
these things.
A New school
There is a move afoot in New Jer
sey to build a new type of junior col
lege, interracial in character, in which
j students and teachers will share in
I both management and administration.
The Tuskegee idea is about to func
tion in reality.
Executive Order Needed
One way out of the predicament in
which FEPC now finds itself would
be for President Truman to issue a
new executive order setting up a com
mission with power and funds to op
erate. The now famous orders 8802
and 9346, issued by President Roose
velt gave life to the agency which is
now slowly being strangled to death.
As long as the war lasts, the Presi
dent is authorized to issue such orders

Russia Marches Again
In record time, the giant military
machine of the USSR has been moved
die thousands of miles across Siberia,
and has moved against the crack
Kwantung army of the Japanese.
Coming as it did with the devastation
of the first atomic bomb, Stalin’s!
declaration of war has caught the
Japanese between the most powerful
pincers the world has known. Already
Tokio complains that Japan is being
unfairly treated, and that the com- j
monly understood practices of war do j
not include such instruments of de- j
struetion as the new bombs. Perhaps
the Japanese have forgotten Port Ar
To Editor of Omaha Guide:
The largest national peach crop on
record is now coming on the market
and if the fullest possible use is to be
made of this favorite fruit, consumers
will have to be encouraged to eat
fresh peaches more frequently and to
can or otherwise preserve as many of
them as possible in the next few
weeks.
Consumers should be interested in
this program both from the stand
point o fration point saving and pro
viding against a definite shortage of
commercially canned fruits for the
coming year. Having produced this
record crop, the peach grower will
need all possible assistance in mar
keting it without waste.
The enclosed letters from this of
fice and from the secretary of the
Federation of Nebraska Retailers to
all retail grocers in the State, sets
forth the situation. The leaflet “Polly
Preserver Speaks” gives valuable sug
gestions on home canning and other
methods of preserving peaches. Your
cooperation is solicited in helping to
J conserve and make the best possible
I use of the 80,000,000 bushel peach
crop an dit is trusted that you will
I adapt the material sent you to the
widest possible use through your pa
per.
Yours very truly,
ARTHUR ANDERSON,
State Director.
To All Nebraska Retail Grocers
In order to make the fullest pos
sible use of the largest peach crop on
record, the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture solicits your cooperation in
urgiug increased consumption and
preservation. You can help materially
by concentrating on peach promotion
during the next few weeks. In this
connection the following facts are
called to your attention:
1. The peak of the peach crop
reaching this area is expected soon.
2. Full utilization of this crop
means that consumers must be in
duced to buy large quantities for
fresh use and to can or otherwise
preserve as much as possible. DRIVE >
HOME the fact that peaches can be
safely preserved with considerably
less sugar than the average housewife
is accustomed to using. POINT OUT
if no sugar is available peaches may
be canned without it, particularly
high quality, well-ripened fruit.
3. The main promotional PUSH
must come from you. Through USDA
efforts press and radio will carry the
message “BUY PEACHES!” But—'
whether or not consumers actually
do buy them is pretty much up to the
retailer. Here is what you can do to
stimulate and clinch sales:
Have a LARGE SUPPLY on hand
—ADVERTISE by every- means avail
able—DISPLAY attractively — POST
the enclosed leaflet “Polly Preserver
Speaks”—TALK PEACHES.
4. Commercial canned fruits will be
in short supply this year and point

bluejay and mother bluejay. The
family lived in a little nest at the top
of an old maple tree. One day when
mother and father were hunting for
worms, the three children climbed
on a limb and were going to try to
fly. Now there was one little blue
ijay who thought he knew everything,
he stood up straight and quickly
jumped from the limb. Little brother
was hurt badly.
Soon mother and father bluejay
came home. They found their son at
the bottom of the old maple tree.
They picked him up quickly and
flew up to their nest. And then “The

fly without their parents’ permission.
