    EURy VICTIMS of PREJUDICE
Calvin's News By Verna Arvey j
Los Angeles, Calif—They buried
little Barry Short on what wouia
have been his 9th birthday, on
the 29tn of December, while the
gifts that had been awaitn.g him
and his little seven year old sis
ter, Carol Ann, and his mother,
lay unopened under the Christmas
tree at nis aunt’s home. Barry and
Carol Ann and their mother, ly
ing side by side in Los Angeles’
Holy Cross Cemetery, will never
be able to enjoy those gifts nov ,
for they have gone far from the
pleasures of earth, and the man
ner of their death has aroused
the nation. Almost all of the peo
ple who have heard of it believe
firmly that it was caused by pre
judice, and that the only crime
the golden-haired children com
mitted was that of having some
Negro blood in their veins.
Some months ago, their father,
O Day Snort, a reirigeration en
gineer, had a dream He wanted:
to bring his little tamiiy up on a
farm- Accordingly, he Dought
some unrestricted land in Fon
tana, a part of Southern Califor
nia in wnich it was generally un
derstood that Negroes were to live
in a certain secuon. Mr. Short's
land was not in that section, even
though it was not bound by any
restr.ctive residential covenants.
Mr. Snort then set out to build ‘
his house, carrying materials out
to the place regularly and work
ing hard to get the house ready
for occupancy. At last it was
ready, and he and his family then
moved in. No one had asked him
wnetner he was colored or not,
but of course, as he worked about
tne place, his unmistakably col
ored mends and relatives visited
him, and were duly noted by the
neighbors. Soon arr. snort oega*.
to receive threats. He was toid to
give up his place. He sent back
a message to the effect that he
would oe glad to discuss the mat 1
ter with anyone, at any place, at
any time. But of course, the peo
ple who made the threats were not
manly enough to come out in tne
open tor an honest discussion. JLn
the meantime, Air Short had re
ported the threats to various
newspapers in Lcs Angeles, and
to the Los Angeles branch of the
NAACP
Then, as the relatives in Co&(
Angeies had finished their Xmas
shopping and had gone out to bu>
a large Christmas tree to ceie
forate uieir good fortune, tradgedj
stiuck at tne Fontana home or
tne snorts. The reiauve in Cos
Angeles came home from then
shopping to the loud ringing of
the telephone. What they hearts
shocked them beyond words. The>
quickly got into their cars, ant
j tisnea to the hospital in ro^jtana.
The: e th^y saw the Shorts—
father, mother, little son and the
daughter—almost completely cov
ered with bandages. There had
been an explosion in the little
house, and the four were burned
to a horrifying degree. The doc
tor reported that all had asked
about nir. Short when they weic
brought in and that Barry had
added, ‘ Take care of my daddy
first. Get to me later.”
The tradgedy had happened at
around 6 o clock in the evening.
At nine thirty that night, as the
family was going down the cor
ridor, little oaroi Ann died, sit
2:10 the next morning, Barry had
passed away. Then at 10.30 the
following morning, the mother,
Mrs Helen Stokts Short, said
“Oh, dear”, and then sne passed
“The i'dLher, although in a serious
condition, is expected to live. He
is stiil in the hospital, and doubt
less wdi be there for many mon
ths to come. They havn’t told him
yet that his family has been wiped
out, and every day he asks for
his wife. “Why doesn’t Helen
come to see me. I tried to save
her and the children, and the
least she could do is to come to
see me. Where is she? Where is
she living now?”
At the family’s insistence, there
has been an autopsy, during whicn
it was determined that tne mo
ther and ht-r children had died
from s.'.uck, and mat parts of
their bodies were charred. There
has also been an inquest, at which
neignpors told of finding the chil
dren iymg on the tloor and scre
aming in pain, and of finding the
mother lying over one of the chil
dren, to smeld it from harm with
her body. At the inquest, a sen
sation was caused by Marian
Downs, sister of dead Helen
Short, wno demanded repeatedly
to know why there had been no
investigation of the threats. Pro
bably as a result of tms question
ing, and because of the fact that
people ah over me country had
been aroused by the case, the ver
dict at the inquest was that the
deaths had been caused by the
fire, the origin of which was un
known. Later, an arson expert
said that in his opinion, it was
arson.
Because of the interest in the
case, and the indignation aroused
over the prejudice that it uncov
ered in Southern California, it
is expected that there will be fur
ther investigation. It is hoped
that eventually that the public
will be informed, whether the ac
codent was a simple one caused
by the explosion of a lantern, as
the Fontana authorities would
have us believe, or whether it was
carefully planned murder of 3 In
nocent people If the latter, it can
only be hoped that the person or
persons who caused the explosion
will be found and punished, so
that anyone else who wishes to
try such methods will think twice
before he does so
In the meantime, little Barry
Sho.rt, Carol Ann and their mo
ther had a big funeral at St. Pat
rick's Church in Los Angeles.
There was a large crowd of peo
ple, and there were beautiful
sprays of flowers. Now they are
together in death, and nothing we
ban do can undo the harm that
has been done. But we can try
to make their deaths a lesson to
the rest of the world. And if we
would like to help in a concrete
way, we can give blood to the
father, O’Day Short, so that he
may get better and make a new
start in life.
Gibson 7Gives* Again
By Charles Jackson
The eminent Mr. Truman K
Gibson is in the news once more.
As we recall, this is the same gen
tleman who formerly held the fat
job of civilian aide (Negro cover
up boy) to the Secretary of War.
He was supposed to be looking
out for the Negroes and seeing
that they got the best of every
thing in their Uncle Samuel’s Jim
Crow Army.
We remember that last year he
executed what was his conception
of that job by publicly accusing
the all-Negro 92nd in Italy of
having too much yellow running
down their backs. Although the
leading brass in this theatre re
ported the opposite, Mr. Gibson
stated that the colored troops fell
back in mass in the face of the
enemy fire.
Now again, on the 27th of Dec
ember, speaking before a conven
tion of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fra
ternity in Columbus, Ohio, Gibson
came out in support of a universal
military training—a proposal that
has been openly opposed by the
NAACP and by every sensible
Negro in America who has ex
perienced or has heard about the
Army Jim Crow.
Attempting to ‘explain’ his sup
port of such reactionary regimen
tation, Gibson states: “When I
say I believe in such a system I
certainly do not state a belief in
a Jim Crow plan of putting such
a system into execution. The two
certainly don’t logically follow.
They have been needlessly con
fused.’’
In all seriousness, how could Mr.
Gibson even remotely expect such
a set-up under the present admini
stration to be anything but Jim
Crow? We have Jim Crow in the
Army, the Navy and the present
Veterans’ Administration, inclu
ding hospital facilities. The Army
brass hats and tne reaetio .a-y
congressmen who fashioned this
enforced separatism then, are still
in power now- uthermoro, Big
Business, which is the real rul!"-'
fo’ce in this country today, is
still in the saddle and is stnl a
interested as ever in using the Ne
gro as a scrapegoat
Official Government separatism
under the Jim Crom Army train
ng cairns was the greatest pur
veyor of prejudice that this cou~
ry his seen in th:s generation.
Yet Tn’.m8n Gibson calls for an
extension of this system when ho
knows full well that the authors
of the present arrangement are
, still at tile helm.
Furthermore, even a larger is
sue is involved here. An analysis
of the facts wid prove that the
present plan for universal train
mg (military), even if not Jim
Crow bodes no good for and must
be opnosed by the Negro work
ers. Why? Because of the react
ionary use to which these trainees
would be pat bv the Ufc> Govern
ment whose policies are dictated
by Wall Street.
Big Business wants and needs
universal military training which
amounts to virtual piussiamza
tion and a large standing armed
force mainly for two purposes:
1. To use against the rising labor
movement as strike-breakers; and
2 To send against the fighting
colonial peoples in an .attempt to
keep them in their present state
of bondage.
The Negroes in this country are
overwhelmingly working people.
The two-thirds of the earth s col
onial slaves are largely members
of the coloied races. Thus from
both angles the colored people
stand to lose by the adoption of
compulsory military training here
in capitalist America.
Is such analysis of this question
i news to Truman K. Gibson ? Has
| he just thoughtlessly overlooked
this angle in his buboling zeal for
universal military training? The
weather vane of events points the
! other direction It is saying No!
I Gibson, in coming out with this
I present stand, is only following
out the same Uncle Tom tactics
that have characterized his claim
to fame. He is merely playing up
to the ’big brass’ and selling out
the interests of his own race and
of all working people, all over
again.
In Italy instead of denouncing
i Army Jim Crow and resigning
j from his post, he denounced the
I Negro soiuier in a slanderous at
tack. His purpose then was to
more firmly grab the coat-tails of
the brass hats and rub their hair
the right way. His motivation in
this case can be no different. By
knowing all the 'powers that be’
are favorig compulsory training,
he is jumping on their wagon. He
is saying what he believes the boss
! man would want him to say.
Gibson has, we admit, reesta
blished his legitimate claim to the
grand championship of all Negro
sell out artists. He is now the un
disputed Uncle Tom Cat who
reigns supreme over all Tom kit
tens.
BARBARA BALKS AT LOVE!!!
A short, short story, proving
that film kisses, it n-o-t torrid
must at least be warm!
In a scene for Warner Bros.’
romantic scandal ‘My Reputat
tion,’ George Brent was to kiss
Barbara Stanwyck in a deserted
cabin on the shores of Lake Ta.
hoe during a blizzard on Stage 7.
The cabin door was open, snow’
was blowing in, the wind was
| appropriately cold to everybody
except director Curtis Bernhart,
whose critical eye noted that the
breath of his players wasn’t show
ing.
’Bring the ice machines,' he
shouted. ‘Chill the stage. 1 want
to see Brent’s breath in a long
plume-’
It was done and all seemed pro
per until little icicles began form
ing on Brent’s mustache.
Barbara positively refused to
osculate under such conditions.
So, they warmed up the stage
again and the scene was secured
j after Mr. Brent's kisser thawed
I out.

<7 I’s SAY JACKIE ROBINSON

New York—From what I can

I their plight by taking an active
j interest in things athletic on the

in the few papers that get to them
and aiso in letters from friends

no fault of their own, but circum

Paul Lawrence Dunbar Prophet
Calvin’s News By Verna Arvey
__ I
Hollywood, Calif—When we to- \
day speak of the Negro soldiers
who fought and died for demo-,
cracy, only to have that ciemo
j.aey withhold them on their re
turn, do we think we are saying
jomething that hasn't been said;
before ? When we lament the fact j
that even distinguished Negroes.
ueet bhnd Kace prejudice where j
yer tiiey do in America, are vvci
/oicing a thcugnt that l.as never
ocn me .tionea before? And the I
Tiaory that racial mixtures may,
uove advantageous—is this new?j
No these things, and many others ,
were said beiore by none other
than the poet Paul Laurence Dun
bar who lived from 1873 to 1906.
Jor while Dunbar could be tender
in a poem like ‘Lines to Louise’,,
or merry in ‘A Coquette Conque- 1
red’, and go into countless other
moods, he also possessed a mind
that was at once penetrating, pro
phetic and protesting.
Some of the things Paul Lau
rence Dunbar said more than 40
yea.s ago are just as timely to
day as they were then. This, ci
course, is also a severe indictment
of our social system, that such
conditions can continue to prevail
over such a great length of time, i
If Dunbar had not been a col-1
ored man, would he now be known I
as America’s greatest poet—or at I
least, as one of America’s great
est? That is something that we
may never know. Certainly he is
one of the most widely quoted |
(among all groups of Americans) i
most spontaneously loved of all I
Vmerican poets We often hear
the line ‘Ships That Pass in the
Night' repealed. Yet few of us re
alize that it was Dunbar, a colored
poet, who first said it, when he
mada ’t the title of one of his
peoms. Moreover, Dunbar was
race-conscious, history conscious,
aware of all events of his own
time, and even sensitive to what
lay ahead.
Time and time again he railed
against prejudice. ‘The Haunted
Oak’ is one of his poems, and it
is one of the most severe tirades
against lynching and hypocracy
of lynchers that has ever been
penned. And what of the long
poem, called ‘To the New South,
on its New Slavery?’ In this he
spoke of the crime of brother
fighting his own brother, and out
of it came only a new slavery for
the black man; ‘A newer bondage
and a deeper shame.’ He called
upon the South to repent, to re
turn to its past glory and take
thy dusky brethern to thy saving
breast. He prophesied that there
would be no gladness until this
blot was erased.
Many times he wrote of the col
ored soldiers. In ‘The unsung He
roes’ he extolled the glory of the
brave men who fought and died
on the battlefield when their coun
try needed them. In Black Sam
son of Brandywine’ he honored
the colored hero who swept his
way through the red ranks armed
with a scythe. The black troops
of Cuba came in for their s' r
of fame, when he immortalize
them in ‘The Ccnquero 's’. r>"
phesying that their daed3 woul
l.ve far through the cycle of the
years and of lives that shall come.
Then there is that significant
poem, simply, ‘The ' Colored Sol
diers’, ten verses of noble senti
ment about ‘The Sons of Ham’,
the gallant soldiers who fojight
for Uncle Sam- Dunbar chro. iclec
the battles in which they fought
bravely and died,, and said theii
blood had cleansed completely
every blot of slavery’s shame He
spoke of the trials they had shared
with the white man, and how the*
verc ‘comrades then and brothers’
but, lest the reader think that this
8 a tale of unalloyed happiness
the poet added this meaningfu
line: Are they more of less today.
The stereotype a id its impiica
tions did not escape his penetrat
ing insight. In two short verses
ca led 'The Poet’ he told of his
own bitterness at a world that
praised him only for his dialect
peoms when he had other things
much greater to his credit. Fam
ous though he was, he still felt
a prejudice against him bream
of his color, especially when he
went to strange places. This he
noted in the bitter sentence: ’My
position is most unfortunate. I am
a black white man.’
But, as a famous Negro, he was
not selfish. He gladly praised the
work of other outstanding Ne
groes. He celebrated the deeds of
Frederick Douglass, and of Book
er T. Washington. Of Harriet
Beecher Stowe he wrote: ‘She
spoke to consciences that long had
slept and at one stroke she gave
a race to freedom and herself to
fame.’
Looking far into the future, He
wrote a letter to a Mr. Rollin on'
the sobject of race-blending, which ■
today is still controversal, altho' |
.t nas long existed and gives evi -|
dence of continuing to exist. Said |
Dunbar, I can see how the cosmo-,
polite of the future might be the :
combination of the best in all the [
divisions of the human family— i
each race supplying what all the
others lacked
The timelessness of his philoso
phy is shown in such little poems
as the one called ‘Keep a Pluggin
Away, and the one called ‘For the
Man Who Fails’, 'when he accused
the world of being a snob and of
courting success, but he found it
time to sing an ode to the gallant
man who fails fighting for what
he believes is right- The world, he
indicated clearly, isn’t always the
best judge of what is success and
what is failure.
When Whittier died, Dunbar
was overcome with remorse at
the passing of a colleague, and
wrote this line ‘ Great poets never
die”. Let us hope that it will be
as true of himself as of the man
of whom he wrote- For Paul Lau
rence Dunbar was a man with a
mission, a crusader if there ever
was one. He was also a superb
whose lines gain beauty and sig
nificance with each re-reading.
gToes would expect Robinson to
perform adeptly every day and if
not, he would incur the displeasure
, of all concerned. After reading the
different articles in the paper con
cerning his playing in the Inter
national League, one fathers or
surmises that Robinson may be
used as an infielder, preferably,
shortstop. Assuming that he does
make the grade and is fortunate
enough to play with the Dodgers,
do you think that he is supposed
to set that position afire in all de
partments? If so, I would appre
ciate your naming me one short
stop in the National League who
can powder the pill and field ef
fectively at the same time like
they do in the American League.
Marty Marion is as classy as
they come when it comes to field
ing, but is he a Rizzuto, Appling
or Stephens at the plate? You
may recall that the defeat of
Louis Schmeling inhibited some ot
the Negro’s cocksuredness. I feel
justified in saying that they are
cognizant of the fact that they
are not better athletically or other
wise than any other race, but they
do believe that they have among
them individuals who are capable
of competing if given the oppor
tunity, and you will without any
doub?. admit, Mr. Werner, that
this is an opportunity.
In conclusion, you may be acc
urate in your enumeration of the
population of the Negro race in
the US as 15,000,000, but your
conception of the intellectual abi
lity in an athletic sense of these
15,000,000 Negroes seems faulty,
and your assertion that 15,000,000
will expect Jack Robinson to be a
superman is snafu, to say the
least.
The seemingly endless wave of
j strikes now paralyzing reconver
sion is putting a dangerously
tempting idea in the minds of a
growing number of people. It is
the idea that government should
do by command what management
and labor seem unable to do by
i conclave, that centralized compul
sion could achieve a peace denied
through voluntary agreement.
It if takes hold, and well it
might by the sheer impact of ab
solute simplicity, then democracy
as we know it has had its ultimate
Mickey Finn.
There will be industrial quiet.
There will be orderly activity
among the productive facilities of
i the land, too. But the quiet will be
I that of the grave. And the orderly
activity wall be the hopeless move
ment of a giant turned zombi!
Beware that sort of quiet. It has
been called other things in other
lands; Fascism, for one, and Com
munism for another. Wherever it
exists there is a stink in the nos
trils of men born in a tradition of
freedom.
Certainly, there is industrial
! strife throughout the nation. There
are strikes and mounting pas
[ sions There is still no proof that
voluntary agreement among
parties at interest is a failure, or
that genuine collective bargaining
between people who respect the
tenets of a simple contract has
i caused a breach of peace.

. STATEMENTS DRAW
CRITICISM

New York, Soundphoto—Center
of rising storm of criticism is Sir
Frederick E. Morgan, Chief of
Staff to General Eisenhower in
invasion of Europe, novr UNRRA
head in Germany. Sir Morgan, who
is pictured here as he appeared in
London recently, said that the
Jews in Europe apparently have
formulated a plan for a mass ex
odus to Palestine. Unable to iden
tify the alleged organ.nation lor
such a movement, he said he be
lives it to be cleverly camouflaged
and charged that stories of po
groms and a3trocities against ihe
Jews in Poland are based on less
and less fact. He further charged
that such stories were by-products
of a Jewish plan to force United
Nations action to give the Jews a
permanent home. His statements
drew sharp criticism from Jewish
spokesmen who scoffed at his se
cret Jewish force manipulating a
mass exodus from Europe to Pal
estine.
Real collective bargaining has
yet to operate as a national entit j
mainly because labor has yet to
grow up to respect the responsi
bilities that go with its rights
That day is coming. There are
signs in the Ford negotiations
where, for the first time, the issue
of labors’ finiancial liability for
unauthorized work stoppages has
come to the fore.
But anybody who seeks or en
tertains any short cuts to har
mony through governmental com
pulsion is looking for a oneway
road to chains. The long view ob
jective for our economy is simply
its preservation and its improve
ment.
We are still too close to VE and

be worse than the deseases they
are supposed to eradicate. The
