Is Mr. Talmadge Right?
By B. F. Bullock, School of Education, Atlanta University
In a recent nation-wide TV interview, Mr. Talmadge told the TV
audience that the Negroes of Georgia wanted to maintain segregated
schools. As evidence of this, he made a positive statement that the
Negroes, come November are going to vote the Democratic ticket to
elect the great group of southern Democrats, who are known to be
bitterly opposed to integration.
This statement was thoroughly disgusting and irritating to a large
number of Negroes who believe that a vote cast for the Democratic
party in November would be against the best interests of the Negro
people. But the statement of Mr. Talmadge was not nearly so irrita
ting to me as a statement from a secretary in one of our Negro
educational institutions here in Atlanta.
Upon walking into this office a few days ago with an IKE button
on the lapel of my coat, this secretary was utterly shocked to learn
that I was a Republican. Her bitter criticism of me, and her enthusi
astic support of the Democratic party, made me begin to seriously
wonder how much truth there might be in Mr. Talmadge's statement.
But, I just can not yet believe that the great masses of Negroes
in Georgia and elsewhere in the United States are letting themselves
be mislead by the sugar-coated phrases of Mr. Stevenson in behalf of
civil rights. We just can not separate Mr. Stevenson from the entire
gang that is putting forth every effort to nullify the Supreme Court’s
civil-rights decision—members of the KKK; the White Citizens Coun
cils; the one-minded odd Congressmen who signed the manifesto in
open defiance of the Court; Messrs. Talmadge—Eastland Sc Co.; etc.
All of these are Democrats, and Mr. Stevenson is their chosen
leader. A Democratic victory would put this group in position to
defeat any and all civil-rights programs.
There seems to be but ONE way for the Negroes to register their
bitter protest effectively against this powerful combination, and that
is to vote solidly for a Republican victory in November.4
Plowing And
Politics Mixed
At Contest
By Max K. GiLstrap
Newton, Iowa
“Are you for Ike or Adlai?"
A farmer in blue denims push
ed back his straw hat and squinted
down from the top of a red-paint
ed hay baler at one end of a big
crowded tent.
A tuneful square dance was in
progress at the other end of the
tent. Four farmers astride indi
vidual tractors were whizzing a
round and around as a “caller”
shouted above the lively music of
a string quartet.
It is here at Newton, in the
heart of Iowa, that the nation’s
attention was recently centered
when President Eisenhower and
Adlai E. Stevenson spoke on suc
cessive days to farmers attending
the National Plowing Contests.
Politics was beginning to appear
simple in contrast to the farmer’s
complicated world, wnicn Here in
cluded everything from a tractor
square dance to intricate conversa
tions about the soil bank. An ar
ray of fancy looking new com
bines, cornpickers, three-bottom
plows, and other puzzling farm
machines looking like creations
out of Buck Rogers were on dis
play in hastily built Conservation
City, set up here on the farm of
Henry Steenhoek.
“Did you ask if 1 am for Ike
or Adlai?" The farmer slid down
to the straw-covered floor in the
International Harvester exhibit
tent. I nodded.
'I'm Undecided'
“Well, to be frank, I haven’t
made up my mind,” Mid the
farmer, “Adlai and Ike—they’re
both good men but they’re sure
different. Adlai sounded sarcastic
but maybe he didn’t mean it— it's
Just his way. That wit of his
makes you want to laugh. And he's
smart. Ike didn't say enough a
bout farming but we already know
what a good job be can do. We'd
do ourselves proud to elect either
man."
Outside, a farmer was bundling
his family Into the car to gat an
early start borne before darkness
caught him.
"How is your emmomie situa
bon’"
He looked hesitant as he
glanced at the pram badge on my
lapel, and WMMSursd that ha
■Hogs, as you know, art up to
$15 and $16 from last year’s dis
astrous low of $11,” he replied.
"Corn prices are fair and beef
prices are holding their own. But
they’ve got to go up some more
for comfort The cost of things
we have to buy keeps sprinting
ahead of our income.
“You can say that the soil bank
saved me down in the drought
area. It hasn’t helped some others
who signed up Then it rained
and they wanted to get out and
couldn’t without losing money. Get
the word to Benson that all his
talk about the farmers wanting
independence and freedom had
better be accompanied by more
help if the Republicans want our
vote.”
Down the hill an exhibitor was
packing away some of his materi
als. “I am a Republican. I'll prob
ably vote Republican. But you've
got to admit that we were put on
to our feet by the Democrats and
then the rug was pulled out from
under us by the Republicans. No
party can make it rain when it is
dry or stop the hail or get rid of
the grasshoppers. But it can keep
its promises and the Republicans
haven’t done so to the fanner and
everyone knows it If that isn’t
the way it really is, that’s the way
we feel.”
A farm housewife working at a I
refreshment stand: “Talk about
farm prices all you want, but
peace is the main issue. Ike has
kept us out of war. They're
afraid of him over behind *he Iron
Curtain because he's been through
war. We’d be in a war today if
it wasn't for Ike. He knows bet
ter than anyone how to keep us at
peace. He’s not likely to make
biting remarks to make other
countries want to fight. Peace is
a thousand times more inportant
than all that’s being said about
farm economy. That's whit will
win for Ike on the farm and
everywhere else. I’m a mother—I
know."
A farm implement dealer
"Business in farm machinery has
definitely been picking up in the
last two and a half months and we
expect it to hold up this fall This
is the best indication you can
rind of an upturn in farm condi
! lions. When farmers are uncer
tain, as they were last spring, they '
w.\ buy." !
Help Needed “““
Owner of a diversified farm
Stevenson bought a lot of votes
with that speech he made today.,
(He either understands, or hta
speech writer* understand, what
the farm problem la all about. In
ms?, Stevenson was too general,
in hi* statements, Now ha talk*
specifically on things (he people
‘want tw hrsr about last time ha
’waa so sharp 1 was tetrad at hint
This time he's more down to
earth.”
Corn-hog fanner: “You can’t
help but like I*e. He got off a
good speech out of his head and
was smart enough not to make it
political before this nonpolitical
gathering. It's his instinct in
knowing what to do at the right
time that makes his re-election so
important in November..”
Editor of a farm newspaper
“The farmer is a pretty sensible
fellow. He would be the last one
to expect help from the govern
ment if he could make it other
wise. He doesn't want to have to
take subsidies. And he knows be
can’t borrow himself out of debt.
But he is faced with little alter
native than to accept assistance.
“Just as one small example, a
power mower be bought for $135
in 1940 now costs $325. His in
come has failed to keep pace with
his expenditures. And since such
a condition is no fault of his own
the farmer doesn’t believe he
should be a vicitm of circum
stances, especially when others
aren't experiencing the same diffi
culty."
In view of the famers’ many
difficulties, farmers here were
asked frequently what they would
propose as the best means of as
sisting them at the present time.
Several suggested that a floor
be put under hog prices so they
won't drop below $14 a hundred
weight.
Credit at better rates was sug-:
gested by some others.
“What is wrong,” several asked,
“with paying direct subsidies to j
farmers such as are now being j
paid to wool and sugar growers?”
A frequent suggestion was heard
that better prices be offered for!
corn taken out of production.
Regulation of meat packers’!
prices was another suggestion.
What the farmers appeared to
want more than anything men
tioned above and apparently what
they are getting, is a public ap
predation of the seriousness and
scope of their problem. If there
is apathy in the present campaign,
it exists less on the farm than in
other places. This fact is prob
ably the most hopeful aspect of
the farm picture.
Our Problems
Know No Race
To The Christian Science Monitor:
Has the right to progress been
denied the Negro race? What do
they want Equal opportunities
with the whites? In the Pentagon
I saw Negro supervisors in some
of the offices with whites work
ing under their suppervision.
Better wages in the South? 1
worked in a dairy store in the
south—Florida. True the Negro
dishwasher received only $1.15
an hour, but I received only 22
cents an hour more and had to
pay half-price (pr everything 1
ate.
Better housing? Many times I
drove through the Negro residen
tial section of St. Petersburg:
there were well-kept homes and
badly kept homes, the same as in
many white districts. Some had
: hrubbery and flowers, painted
houses; some showed lack of am
bition, the same as in many white
districts.
Some very brilliant Negro peo
ple have come out of segregated
schools to win the respect and
ambition of the white race.
1 am white but I have not had
the educational advantages of
many Negroes. I never finished
the sixth grade in school. Shall
I say this because my skin is
white.
Not all white people are well
housed; not all white people are
well educated; not all white peo
pie’s incomes are in the top brack
et but are in the low-incomc
bracket. Many white people have
to have public assistance. In short
the white race has the same trou
bles as the colored; so what is the
argument about?
Can desegregation heal these
conditions? I have peat respect
for the Negroes. They have come
very far in 100 years. They are a
people of peat compassion. I
have had reason to be pateful
for their compassion.
But let us not enter into strife
when there is no reason for strife

offering its “whole-hearted sup
port” to the proposed new City
Charter, the Rev. E. T. Streeter,
president, announced Thursday.
"Our board of directors voted
unanimously to favor the new
Charter”, the Rev. Streeter said.
“The Charter Convention is to be
complimented for writing a fine
document and one which deals
with the colored people in com
plete fairness."
He pointed out that during the
Charter Convention hearings, rep
resentatives of his group made
many suggestions on how to ini
prove the Human Relations Board
provided for in the new Charter.
“The Convention delegates not
only paid attention to our sugges
tions, but they went much further
rnd recommended many more
protective provisions”, he said.
The Omaha Branch of the
NAACP has a membership of
more than 1,000 persons in Oma
ha.
“We all hope to offer our ser
vices in supporting the new City
Charter,” he said.
Rev. Streeter is the pastor oi

2028 Miami Street.
MRGIMA WILL DESTROY ITS
Pl'BLIC SCHOOLS—NAACP
Petersburg Va. — A predic
tion that Virginia’s public school
system will be destroyed by its
own state legislature was ad
vanced here last week by Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive sec
retary.
Mr. Wilkins commented at
length upon "a program of con
fusion as to public schools” and
"a package of seven bills aimed
at the NAACP" recently passed
by the Virginia Assembly.
He addressed guests at a testi
monial dinner held on Oct. 6 in
honor of Dr. J. M. Tinsley of
Richmond, a member of the As
*
sociation’s national Board of
Directors and president of the
Richmond NAACP branch, The
event was sponsored by the Vir
ginia State NAACP.
On the public school question,'
the NAACP leader asserted:
“The Assembly has passed a pro
gram of confusion as to public
schools that will destroy the sys
tem as surely as we sit here to
night. . . . The Stanley plan (on
school) is supposed to guarantee
that a Negro child will require
about two years to take all the
hurdles set up by the new state
law. If he surviv?s and succeeds in
his quest, then the Governor
personally intervenes, funds are
cut off, schools are closed, and
so forth."
Package-Bills "Threaten
Virginians
Mr. Wilkins said he agrees
with the Richmord News Leader
and Times Dispatch that the
package of seven bills aimed at
the NAACP, passed by the As
sembly on Oct. 1, “threaten the
liberties of all Virginians.”
“investigating committees are
to be set up," he continued.
“Citizens may not ‘advocate’ any
thing touching upon racial mat
ters. Citizens may not chal
lenge any racial practice in the
courts. Lawyers may not ac
cept employment to challenge
any racial matter. Citizens may
not, either Individually or as or
ganized groups, resort to the
courts to redress a racial in
equity."
If the laws are enforced, he de
clared, “free speech will be
dead” and “the General Assem
bly will never again hear an
other word, pro or con, on racial
matters.
