The Negro Farmer
(by James G. Patton, Pres.
National Farmers Union)
Note to Readers:
activities to heading America's
most progressive organization of
small farm owners. He is also
chairman of the American Coun
cil on Race Relations which helps
to coordinate the activities of
numerous local interracial and
maor’s committees. Through the
armers Union he has stimulated
the growth of the cooperative
movement and, unlike the react
ionary farm bloc leaders, he has
fought consistently for stringent
price control and the rights of in
dustrial labor.)
Most people do not realize
the very important role the
Negro farmer has played in
the production of food and
fibre, particularly cotton, in
our agricultural economy.
Negro farm families have
never been able to enjoy ev
en minimum standards of ed
ucation, housing, health or
nutrition. The mechanical
cotton picker and the flame
blocekr will soon bring a ma
jor economic and social cris
is to the South and all of A
merica. Again, as always m
the past, Negroes will prob
ably be the citizens who will
suffer most.
It •« the resnone'hility of
the American people to aid
tm- soar ro' ^*er», tenant.-,
and small farm owners of the
South, a very large percent
age of whom are Negroes, in
the readjustment which they
will be forced to make with
the mechanization and tech
n ngu-e* developments in. co:,
ton. All of us must see that
tnc smail i armer, Negro and ;
white in the South, has an
opportunity to become vocal
in governmental matters. We!
must repeal the poll tax. We
must make it possible for
small farmers to organize
freely, without economic and
social pressures being used
to prevent action from being
taken in their own best inter
ests.
New farming opportunities
in the Middle West and in
newly irrigated areas, must
be provided for Negro farm
ers of the South. An equality
of opportunity in industry
must be guaranteed. The re
peal of the poll tax, the pas
sage of a Permanent Fair
Employment ractiee Act. and
the elimination of restricted
covenPant real estate ordin
ances, are minimum Hecessit
ies for economic and social
freedom. Restrictive propei
tv ownership laws such as
have been unfairly enacted
in California against the Jap
anese and other nationalities
must not be applied to the
Negro farmer seeking new
opportunities.
All of us must work to see
that full employment is main
tained, that every man who is
aide to work and wants to
work has a job with suffic
ient income to buy a high
standard of living. The best
single guarantee against un
fair discrimination in all lin
es and for equal opportunity
is to have full employment
for everyone. If this can be
brought about, the adjust
ments caused by technologic
al advances in agriculture
will be made easier not only
for the Negro fawner, but
for all farmers in the lower
income brackets.
If we are to be the great
example for democracy in
the world, we must begin to
put democracy into practice
in full fledged form here at
home, by providing equality
of opportunity to all, regard
less of race or creed, in all
things, economic, social and
political.
Protest Absence of Negroes
On Columbia, Grand Jury
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Thurgood
Marshall, Special Counsel for the
NAACP, announced today that
pleas of abatement had been filed
in the infamous Columbia, Tenn.
“riot” case on the grounds that
Negroes are excluded from the
j local Gran<j Jury.
As a result of the NAACP pro
tests the cases involving thirty
one Negroes indicted on charges
of attempted murder will be pas
sed over with the result that they
won’t actually be heard until the
early part of May
Both Stephensons, Mrs- Gladys
Stephenson and her son, Navy
vet James Stephenson, testified
before the Federal Grand Jury
now the affair which began in a
Columbia radio repair store when
James Stephenson protected his
mother who was being slapped
and punched by a radio repair
man, and which culminated in the
wanton destruction of Negro bu
sinesses in Columbia. At the top
of the tragic events, homes were
vandalized and Negro citizens ter
rorized, with highway patrolmen
and state guardsmen participat
ing in an orgy of shooting and
beatings of Negro victims during
which ,m|an.y were seriously in
jured and two Negroes murdered
in the jail during third degree
cross examinations. Several other
Negroes also testified as well as
all white newsmen who covered
the "riot” and Sheriff J. J. Un
derwood.
At the New York office of the
NAACP, Walter White announced
that the urgent appeal for funds
needed for the legal defense of
the Negro victims of Southern
terrorism had to date netted $4000
although it was pointed out that
the Association has already spent
$11,000 in the case. Mr. White
again appealed for contributions
to this critically imnortant fund.
It was also announced that an
executive committee had been j
ro med rrom among the hundreds j
of prominent Americans who are
supporting the NAACP Columbia j
Legal Defense Fund. Mrs. Elean
or Roosevelt and Dr. Channing
Tobias are serving as co-chairman
ex-officio, of the executive com

AUDIENCE
WASHINGTON, D. C_Mrs
James Morton, wife of the Colum
bia undertaker indicted for atte
mpted murder in the Tenn., frame
up, shared the speakers’ platform
with Dr. Charming Tobias at As
bury AME Church, Sunday April
7th, before an overflowing crowd
of more than 1,000 citizens. The
meeting was sponsored by the
Washington Bureau of the NAA
CP. Mrs. Morton, an eye witness
to the so called Columbia riot on
February 25th described the out
rageous Southern police brutality
to a hushed and shocked audience
capturing the crowd's admiration
and sympathy with her brave un
derstatement.
The Columbia woman described
A FABLE OF A
ROYAL FAMILY
In the year of 1931, a royal fa
mily was proclaimed. King Bore
alis, Queen Aurora and their court
in a regal Coronation pageant.
E. W. Pryor, King Borealis, the
first in former years active in the
civic life of the community, and
a member of St. Phillips and Dor
othy Allen, now Mrs- Charles Wil
son a talented musician, now of
Chicago, 111., was Queen Aurora.
Through th^ years the Kings
an^ Queens of the Royal Family
have reigned in triumph supreme
Their princesses and countesses
more beautiful, their pageants
more spectacular.
As the time is near for the pro
claiming of King Borealis and
Queen Aurora the XVI we the
subjects of this royal family
await expectantly the culmination
of this the sixteenth coronation
and pageant.
how on the night of the tragic
event she had been attending a
meeting of Columbia citizens who
were interested in building a high
school for Negro children in the
rabid Negro hating community,
when her husband called for her
explaining that trouble was brew
ing, and that the town’s white
citizens were openly voicing lyn
ching threats. Mr. Morton said
that a mob was forming and ad
vised the people at the meeting to
protect themselves and their fa
milies against mob violence.
About midnight of that night, s
man, who described himself as a
United Press representative. camt
into the Morton’s home on the
pretext of seeking an interview.
5 minutes later, members of the
state patrol rushed in with ma
chine guns and ransacked the
nlace. driving several young boys
members of her family out of bed
and ordering them to line up be
side the wall. The leader then said
“If you bat an eye. I’ll blow your
d.heads off”. Mr. Morton was
accused of being the ring leader
of an outlaw band and dragged
off to prison with other Negroes.
It was Mrs Morton who put
through a call to the Nashville
Branch of the NAACP where she
was promised immediate assist
ance. Just as she completed her
call, a highway patrolman rushed
into her room, and leveling the
tommy gun at her head, ordered
her away from the phone. Mrs.
Morton also related how she bun
dled up her children and spirited
them to a safer part of the city
while police and state troopers
smashed through her home and
her husband’s funeral parlor des
troying all furnishings and leav
ing a great KKK scrawled across
a smashed coffin.
in ms remarks Dr. Tobias, after
praising Mrs. Morton for her bra
very, offeed her the following
consolation for the future, no
harm can come, he said with sol
emnity, because the forces of the
righteousness throughout Ameri
ca are behind our cause. Remark
ing upon the two types of citizen
ship our so called democracy af
fords, Dr. Tobias declared that
you can have democracy if you
want it, or you can have a double
standard of citizenship both at
the same time.

PEW YORK JUDGE
CRITISIZED FOR URCAPG
POLICE BRUTALITY
NEW YORK—The NAACP took
sharp issue with a statement att
ributed to General Sessions Judge
George L. Donnellan in a [
York TIMES story during the
sentencing of 3 young Harlem
thugs to many year long prison
terms on counts of rape, sodomy
grand arceny, and feonious ass
ault.
The Association sent the folow
ing message to Judge Donnellan:
‘The New York TIMES March
30, 1946 quotes a statement by
you from the bench in connection
with the Sentencing of three Ne
gro youths convicted of particu
larly objectionable offenses. You
are quoted as demanding that the
Police Commissioner drganize a
strong arm squad of police to beat
up criminals like these in the*
district. The district referred to
is Harlem, This shocking stat,
ment aside from the uncivilized
brutality which it encourages as
a method of crime prevention, is
oarticularlv alarming since it ad
vocates setting up a special form
of police brutality for Negro sus
pects.
The experience of civilized na
tions over many years has shown
that the police brutality does not
achieve anything except a demT
oralization applies as well to the
aggressors as to the victims of
police brutality. The brutality as
you are quoted as advocating can
not be differentiated from the
brutality of Nazi and Japanese
prison guards, the revelation of
which has so recently shocked
the American public.
The implication which must be
drawn from the quoted statement
is that only by illegal means can
the city of New York stop crime i
in Harlem
Advocacy of any such illegal
action by the police force is par
ticularly to be abhorred when it
is said to be directed from the
bench which is set up to admini
ster justice in this city.
I am hopeful that the statement
which you are quoted as having
made in the TIMES does not re
present your views, but in any
event, we feel that it is in incum
bent upon you to correct the im
pression which the newspaper
article has created”

PRES TRUMAN CRITISIZED
FOP POLL TAX LETDOWN
WASHINGTON, D. C—Presi
dent Harry S. Truman who, until
his recent Chicago address had
lent full administrative backing
to Federal Poll Tax legislation,
was condemned for his obvious
concession to white supremacy by
the NAACP.
In a telegram to the President,
Walter White stated:
‘National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
like many other organizations anj
individuals is deeply shocked at
your statement in interview in
Chicago. April 6, that the matter
of repealing the Poll Tax now
imposed in seven Southern States
is one that the states will have
to work out for themselves. Since
several efforts have been made to
secur passage of Federal legisla
tion abolishing the Poll Tax, since
these bills have passed the House
3 times and one is now about to
be brought up once more in the
Senate, we take it that your Chi

ted fairly as indicating that you
oppose Federal legislation to abo
lish the Poll Tax. In taking this
position we are sure you must

Says US. Must
Take Part in Inter
national Affairs
Governor Dwight Griswold ur
ged Nebraskans to point the na
tion’s way to lasting peace by re
jecting the isolation policy of
Hugh Butler at the Republican
primary election June 11th.
Griswold said his opponent’s re
cent statement in Omaha that ‘ in
ternationalism must be sidetrack
ed” shows Butler proposes to re
turn to pre-war isolation.
Griswold said he is convinced
that if we attempt to go back to
the isolation policy “we will be
plunging surely and rather quick
ly into another war”.
Acceptance of Butler’s policy,
Griswold said, “would serve no
tice on the German people that it
is none of our business whether
they are absorbed by Russia or
whether they establish themselv
es as an independent and progres
sive nation.”
Griswold said the US must take
an active part in international af
fairs and added that two wars
have already come to this nation
because we tried to live apart
from the world.
The Governor’s statements were
contained in the first Series of
weekly state-wide radio addres
ses to be carried on Sundays by
most Nebraska stations between
now and the June Primary.
R. E. Campbell, former Lincoln
mayor and head of Miller and
Paine department store, also said
on the first program. “I want you
to know that I am for Dwight
Griswold all the way in this sen
atorial campaign He has given
Nebraska an excellent, common
sense administration and I know
of no man who can do more for
Nebraska in the United States
Senate. He has the ability, the

APPEALS FOR NEGROES’
VOTING RIGHTS IN ALA,
IND LOUISIANA
NEW ORLEANS—Jn a court
room filled to overflowing with
attentive Negroes, most of them
students from the local high sch
ools and Dillard University, at
torneys for the NAACP argued
for the rights of Negroes to re
gister and vote in State and na
tional elections. The Jim Crow
voting appeals were argued in the
Circuit Court of Appeals before
Judges McCord of Alabama, Lee
of Louisians, and Holmes of Miss
NAACP attorneys, A. P. Turead
of Louisiana, Arthur D. Shores of
Birmingham, and Thurgood Mar
shall, Special Counsel from the
national office, representing Ne
groes challenging the traditional
Southern Jim Crow exclusion, af
ter reviewing the line of decisions
since the 14th and 15th Amend
ments and efforts of the Southern
states to prevent Negroes from
' cespite the Federal Con
stitution and laws, areued t't’st
the Federal Courts had a positive
dutv to erant relief in such cases
and should not relegate Negroes
to the use of the state machinery.
Lawyers representing white su
premicists of Louisiana an^ Ala.,
one of whom ironically is a law
partner of self proclaimed Ala
bama liberal. Sen. Lister Hill, did
maintain that the appeals must
first go through the State courts
where, it should be r.n ,.,c<
there would be little if any chance

Thurgood Marshall, in closing
the argument, cited the recent de
cision oi uie US Supreme Court
which categorically makes the
duties of the Federal Courts clear
in cases where Federal rights are
violated.
The case is under advisement
with no indiciation of how long
before a decision may be expected.
realize that you are encouraging
a system which has placed and
kept in office Senators and Rep
resentatives who have constituted
the stubborn and unyielding core
of opposition to practically all
liberal legitetion both economic
and social, and who are at this
moment the chief opponents in
collaboration with certain Repu
blicans, of the legislative program
which you have declared repeat
edly the country must have in
order to reconvert from the war
’•ears and function adequately at
home and abroad in these troub
led times. It is disturbing to the
American Negro citizens and to
other supporters of the abolition
of the Poll Tax that our Chief
Executive should declare for
marking time on a system which
is depriving ten million American
people, six million whites and 4
million Negroes, of the right to
vote at the very time, when con
ditions so obviously and urgently
demand the courageous and pro
gressive leadership which is not
visible in the type of representa
