According to Cameron, Negroes are permitted to work in only five of the 312 classifications at the plant and their work is the hardest, dirtiest, and lowest paid. Union officials, Cameron claims, are underhandely working in secret with the management in flagrant violation of union principles and to the detriment of the workers.

The irresistible appeal of beauty, grace, and charm will be the theme of the commencement exercises of the Madame C. J. Walker School of Beauty Culture at the Mt. Paran Baptist church, Sunday evening, at 8 p. ni. This year’s graduating class of personable young women is one of the best trained and most competent in the long, prideful history of the world’s largest Inter national Negro enterprise, according to school authorities, who point to the continuing improvement of the Walker school in teaching and training methods. Each of the candidates the coveted Walker diploma gives personal evidence of her mastery of the beautifying art, instructors point out. Mrs. Priscilla Dean Lewis, supervisor of the school, attributes this achievement to the students themselves. She says, “This is in many respects the most successful class it has been my pleasure to instruct since I left the Walker school in Kansas City, Mo., jo take charge of the Indianapolis school. We are attracting a higher type of young women—high school and college graduates—who are begin-

ning to realize the unlimited, option

field of beauty culture.” The beauty theme will again he evident in the musical part of the program to be rendered by the popular, famous singing groups of the Mt.

President Roosevelt, asking. ‘When a Democrat makes a mistake and becomes a member of the Klan he can still be a satisfactory state leader and a good citizen, but when a Republican makes the same mistake he forthwith becomes a monster and a public menace.” Lyons termed such reasoning “Nonsense.” True service to our nation, he said, lies in making our party strong in its willingness to carry the massive burdens of the composite public which it asks the privilege of serving and leading. Twenty-six of the twenty-nine delegates at the meeting expressed themselves in a secret poll as favorable to Governor Dewey for the presidential nomination.

Commitment Favored.

The Republican party in its plat form and in the declarations of its candidates should commit itself unequivocally and specifically to federal anti-poll tax and anti-

lynching statutes.

The Negro people of the United States understandably refuse to accept the technical arguments against cloture in the debates on anti-poll tax and anti-lynching bills, or even the sincere claims of constitutionalism which prevent such just measures from becoming law. And the very fact that the Republican party was the instrumentality through which the Negroes were given freedom makes them the more resentful that it should join in acts which prevent them from obtaining the

substances of freedom.

Nor will they be satisfied by the counsels of patience and the assurances of kindly men that progress has been made, that

and co-operative effort. Negroes will In some distant day obtain the rights which the Constitution

itself guarantees them.

No one who has not stopped seeing and thinking could have missed the events of the last few years that have drawn together thirteen million Americans—on»*tenth of the nation—into a det#**-

mined purposeful unit.

In that time Negroes hove known the bitter humiliation of seeing their men and women, eager to serve in the nation’s armed forces, excluded from some branches of the service or often relegated to menial jobs in the branches to which they have been admitted. They have witnessed' the ugly and tragic results of race hatred and riots. They have known the brief security of good jobs at decent wages while their help was needed in order to make the tools of war. only to be filled with deep anxiety for fear that in the readjustments of peace they will he shuffled off into unemploy-

ment and poverty.

At the same time, from the battlefields of Italy to the goldstar homes here in America they have learned that there is nothing more democratic than a bullet or a splinter of steel. They want now to see some political democracy as

well. i

Millions of them distrust the Democratic party, which for years has deprived the Negro of his rights to vote in Atlanta while seeking his vote as the friend of his race in Harlem. But in view of the economic advances and social gains \khich have come to Negroes during the last twelve years, they will not leave that party for vague assurances of future action expressed in pious platitudes, or for a 1944 version of the states’ rights doctrine, or even for procedures which, however legally correct, in practical effect indefinitely postpone correction of sore and desperate abuses. Negro leaders are alert and educated and sophisticated. They know that their problem is a part of the world-wide struggle for human freedom. For their people they ask only their rights—rights to which they are entitled. The Constitution does not provide for first and second class citizens. Entitled to Opportunity. They are entitled to the same op portunity to acquire an education— an education of the same quality^ as that given to other citizens. They should receive the same per capita expenditure of public moneys for schools, housing, health and hospitalization as is allotted to

Their right to work must equal

that of any citizen and their reward should be the same as the reward of any other citizen for the same job. Their economic opportunities should not be limited by their

color.

And last, they should have the right of every citizen to fight for his country in any branch of her armed services without discrimination and with equality of oppor-

tunity.

These are merely rights that the Negro of our communities is entitled to shard with other citizens. Republicans should see to it that he gets them. For all of these reascnable demands are consistent with the very principles upon which the Republican party was founded. All of them are a part of the freedom for which men of every color and race our dying.

association has member boards in 16 states. The association said that it was not undertaking to establish any national formula or suggestion as to location of Negro housing, exclusiveness of use of such housing, or similar matters. ‘‘These are problems which must be solved by each community.” it said. “Our task as business men is to find the best economic solution possible under the circumstances that exist.” It added that it would take no part “in the social, political, or racial irsues which are often injected into the discussion of housing for Negroes.” The association recommended that local real estate boards undertake study of the Negro housing problem and how the economic need may be met in each community. Among the problems to be solved, it said in its communication. are the following: “Adequate financing for homes and rental properties must be secured. Reluctance of financial institutions to purchase mortgages on Negro porperty must be gradually overcome. Such facts as we now have in hand indicate that the Negro is a good economic risk. We propose to make a detailed study of the experiences of hundreds of our own members who have for years sold property to Negroes or managed Negro rental properties. We will make this information available to member boards for their

use.

“Responsible builders should be encouraged to undertake the construction of Negro housing, both in areas now available and in the form of new neighborhood projects. Federal agencies are keenly interested in this matter and will be found ready and

willing to assist.

“Management of Negro rental properties should be of a kind and character which is on a parity with that given to other types of property. We believe it will be found that Negroes will respond if given opportunity to avail themselves of facilities and services of modern character.” The association pointed on that in a number of cities, individual members of the real estate boards, and in some cases the real estate boards themselves, have already initiated provision of new and better housing for Negro families who are economically able to absorb it.
