TALMADGE PUSHES BILL TO BAR NEGROES
IN PRIMARY
Herman Talmadge, self-styed Governor of Georgia, told
State legislators Tuesday January 21, as he addressed them that
he would not resign in favor of anyjone else until his bill restoring the Democratic white primiary in Georgia by barring
Negroes from voting in party primaries was passed.
Both Talmadge anid his late father, Eugene Talmadge
campaigned ona platform that promised to circumvent the re

cent Federal Court rulings allowing Negroes to vote in pri:
maries, by legislative action.

The word ~primary~~ is deleted from the entire section of
- Georgia law. which specifically mentions primaries, in the care
fully-drawn-up Talmadge Bill.. Talmladge intends through the
pessage of this bill to make the elections a party, and not a
state affair and he and his sponsors of the bill feel that it will
take the primary in Georgia out of Federal jurisdiction.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE: DESERVES OUR SUPPORT
THE ASTONISHING growth of the NAACP within the

| past few years is certainly commendable, and its present lead
~ers are to be congratulated. This great organization, the de
fender of the struggling masses of black Americans, won many.

notable victéries through the courts in defense of the civil rights
of Negroes during 1946. It has been the bulwark for the fight
for equalization of the pay of teachers in the South. It stood

in the gap in~defense of the injustice that was being done the.

Negroes of Columbia, Tenn. it has carried to the various
courts of the land, the denial of the rights of Negro citizens to
receive equal éducational opportunities in the former slave
states, and wherever any form of discrimination or denial of
civil rights have occurred, its voice has been raised vigorously
in denunciation of the same. It is greatly to be regretted that
the local branch here in Buffalo is as inert and inane as it now
is. All too often a good organization becomes a millstone

~ around the neck of a people when it falls into cowardly or lazy

hands. The people of Buffalo deserve a vigorous and wide~awake leadership in carrying out the program of the NAACP.

The program set by the leadership of this worthwhile organiza- |
The |

tion for 1947 is one of great proportion and significance.
legislative program recommended by Mr. White follows:,

1. A federal anti-lynching bill.

2. A civil rights bill.
3. A bill for a federal anti-lynching commission.
' 4. Abolition of the poll tax.
5. A bill for federal financial aid for low cost housin>. programs.
6. Amendment of immigration laws with respect to

lapsed quotas so as to permit the entry of homeless and displaced persons to this country from Europe.

7. A bill to bro4den the social security act to include
agricultural and domestic workers. ~

8. A bill to set a minimum wage of 75 cents an hour for
al) workers producing goods for interstate commerce.

9. Federal action to safeguard the rights of minorities
in states having separate schoo] systems on a racial basis.

10. A national health bill.

11. A federal bill to prohibit segregation in interstate
travel.

MOSCOW. ~ A new kind of atomic disintegration is claimed to have: been discovered by-Soviet scientists.
They also claim to have found new
~' and highly important data about

_ Sports Editor || cosmic rays and the earth~s com-: position.

Prof. P. I. Lukisky, well-known
physicist and research expert, was
~credited with the atomic disintegration discovery. A brief article in
~the Communist party newspaper
| Pravda, quoted Dr. S. I. Vavilov,
| president of the Soviet Academy of
4 Sciences, as saying that Lukisky had
found ~a new kind of disintegration
of atomie ruclei.~~

What the Term Means.
Atomic disintegration is a term
~generally used to describe the emission of radioactive rays. from
atoms, The Russians apparently

splitting or of discavering the
~know-how~? which would enable
them to manufacture an atom bomb.

Details of Lukisky~s experiments
were not published.

Lukisky is known to be an expert
on. so-called heavy electrons, and
has been instructing a number of
Soviet scientists now working on
atomic research.

The Pravda announcement said he

the five newly-created chairs in theoretical and experimental physics in
the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

Also nominated for one of the
chairs was D. V. Skobeltsyn, described by the academy president
as the discoverer of many new
aspects of cosmic rays.

Skobeltsyn, through experiments
with the Wilson camero, discovered
a new appearance in the emission
of positive electrons by a radioactive substance, and ~educated a
big school of specialists on the atomic kernels and cosmic rays,~' Vavilov said.

Currents Probe Earth,

Data on the earth~s composition
was obtained through probing by
electrical currents to a distance of
19.8 miles, a new record, according
to an announcement by Prof. B. N.
Yanobsky of Leningrad university.

Yanobsky said that the previous
record was believed to be 7.5 miles,
established by a French scientist.

The experiments are expected to
contridute materially to the locat
earth~s vast depths.

The London News Chronicle reported from Istanbul, Turkey, that
the Russians were building a ~~gigantic atomic energy project~~ near
the Black sea port of Sukhum.

Ian Bevan, a correspondent quoting ~~travelers arriving~~ in Istanbul, wrote that the project was being carried on secretly in a mountainous region close to Europe~s
highest peak~the 18,463 foot Mount
Elbruz.

Phone on on Infra-Red
Rays Built by Mir

ttoveal War Soca for Voice
Over Short Range. ~

_ WASHINGTON. ~ A secret voiceray telephone that works on invisible light was developed by the navy
during the war, it was revealed.
Details are still shrouded by security restrictions, but an official explained that its source is infra-red
rays. It has a ~~line-of-sight~~ range,
the same as television.
' It eliminates freak interception or
interference by an enemy miles
away, as was possible with ultra~high radio frequencies,
Conversations can be held between
nearby ships or from ship to shore.
But the official explained that the

invisible rays will not penetrate |

fog, water or anvthing that stops a
visible light ray.

The navy disclosed in June that
4t had an infra-red searchlight for
\blinker messages between ships, but
this was the first acknowledgment
that an ordinary conversation by
infra-red rays was possible.

Both the Germans and the Japanese had infra-red equipment, the
navy, expert said, but our capture
of this equipment in 1944 and 1945
did. not particularly aid United
States research. The line of our
infra-red work was pretty well laid
down by that time, he said, and our
engineers vent ahead with their own
ideas.

The range of the infra-red telePhone is limited to the horizon~
about eight miles from the bridge
of a destroyer. But in a land campaign, messages could be relayed
from point to point over country impassable for wire-stringing crews
and where radio calls might be intercepted.

The navy let production contracts
for the equipment following successful tests in 1943 and 1944 but is
still reluctant to discuss how far
it has progressed in development,
or the scope of its program.

ee of Weight Found

Due to Blood Scarcity |
CLEVELAND. ~ Sick people
whose weight drops, the American College of Surgeons was informed, usually suffer from a
shortage of blood.

The volume of their blood is
down by an average of about 25
per cent under normal. As a re~sult their tissues suffer from lack
of gufficient oxygen.

This report was made at a panel instituted by the college to
bring out the. newer things in
medicine. The report was made
by Dr. John H. Clark of Tulane
university, New Orleans.

These losses in blood volume
were found among persons with
chronic illnesses, such as stomach ulcers, infections, malnutrition, liver troubles and cancer.

Left Wife With 10 Children:

Because She~s ~Inattentive~
METZ, FRANCE. ~ Pierre Studzmann, 55, an Alsatian, was conscripted in the German army in
1915, married a German woman
and lived with her until 1936. Then
he left Germany.

After World War II he married
a French woman and apparently
was happy until wife No. 1 lodged
a complaint from Germany.

~Between you and me,~~ Studzmenn told the judge, ~~my first wife
was never very attentive.~ ~~Be

Studzmann, ~~you- should have

Exhibit Is Planned as Wide
__ Drive Against Alien
Ideologisis.

WASHINGTON.~Attorney General Clark announced that a priceless
collection of original American documents will be taken in a swing across
the country early in the new year
on a special train in a nationwide drive against alien ideologists.

~Liberty on> Wheels,~~ an exhibition of such landmarks in American
history as the official copy of the
Bill of Rights, will tour the 48 states
in a specially constructed fireproof
train.

The purpose, Clark said, is to
~reaffirm in the minds and hearts

of the American people an under- |

standing and appreciation of the
basic principles of our government

and. in this way to combat alien.

ideciogies.~~

e History Landmarks.

The attorney general said the exhibition ~~will give millions of Amerjeans an opportunity to view such
monumental landmarks in our history as. the Bill of Rights, the Emancipation Proclamation, the original
of the Gettysburg Address, and the
notes in his own handwriting of Patrick Henry~s immortal speech in

| which he said, ~Give me liberty or

give me death.~ ~~

Other documents include notes of
proceedings leading to the Declaration of Independence in Thomas Jefferson~s handwriting, and James
Madison~s manuscript notes of debates in the federal convention discussing the need for a Bill of Rights.

Clark said the train will visit all
large cities and many small ones in
~the longest tour in the history of
American railroading, lasting probably a full year.~~

Newspapers to Help.

Newspapers will sponsor community programs emphasizing the
basic principles of the American
form of government. Radio stations
and the national networks will
dramatize these principles in a series of programs. Motion picture
companies will turn out a group of
short films along the same line.

After a meetingrof Clark and leaders of the three fields a committee
was named to handle the press-radio-movie phase of the program, - It
was headed by Col. T. A, MclInerny, personal assistant to Clark and
director of public information for
the justice department.

Clark said the project is ~~officially
sponsored by the federal government~ and added:

~~~We hope it will be just a springboard for a national and local crusade to reemphasize the concept of

American democracy. It is our hope |

that every governor and every mayor in the nation~ will sponsor activities in his state and city which will
get the maximum number of Americans to become conscious of the
ideals of their country.~~

MclInerny said the cost of the exhibition trip will be borne by interested private individuals and patriotic organizations, but declined to
reveal their names.

New Submariie Unveiled by
U. S. Navy; It Is a Jeep!

ANNAPOLIS, MD. ~ The Reluctant Turtle, a submarine jeep, was
unveiled by the navy.

Experts said the depth to which
it may submerge ~~seems to be limited only to the length of the neck
of the driver, whose head must stick
out of the water.~~

Hitting the water at 18 miles an
hour, in a demonstration for newspaper men, the Turtle threw a spray
20 feet into the air and slowed to a
walk. Then, using four wheel power, it churned on and the wheels
submerged, Finally even the windshield disappeared. It rode the

waves like a duck. The demonstra
tion- lasted more than an hour.

The Turtle is an ordinary jeep

equipped with a ~~submarine~~ kit
that costs about $1,000., Marine and navy men at the demonstration said the jeep might have
saved lives and equipment in wartime beach invasions.

Village Smithy Out; _

Chestnuts A Rre Back

Modernization Is Result Ps an
Intensive Research.

WASHINGTON. ~ Research has
helped modernize the village smithy
almost out of business, but it. is
bringing back his spreading chestnut tree,

At the agriculture department, G.
F. Gravatt, who mourns the passing |
of the chestnut as much as we would
the mighty man. of -Longfellow~s
poem, said the plant industry bureau
has developed a hybrid which resists
the devastating blight that by 1937
had overrun almost all the nation~s
chestnut forests..

The most successful blend so ier,
Gravatt added, is one that is threequarters Chinese chestnut and onequarter American..

New plantings. of this hybrid are
being pushed here and in the Missis- |
sippi valley as far south as Okla
homa. Commercial nurseries are |

not able to meet the demand for |
straight Chinese chestnut trees,

~which are almost as good. The hy
brid will. not be available commercially for several years.

Gravatt said that experiments in- |
dicated that chestnut orchards
eventually would flourish again east
of the Mississippi river.

The dreaded blight came from!

Asia in Japanese Chestnut trees, the,

department~s pathologists bélieve.
It was first discovered in 1904
around New York City and three
years later the government: got to
work trying to find a Bias of stopping it.

By 1910, the blight fied desobated
chestnut forests in New Jersey and
It spread
in the next 10 years over Massachusetts, eastern Pennsylvania and
into eastern Ohio and West Virginia,

Ten years more took it ~to central
Illinois, midway across Kentucky
and Tennessee and into the Carolinas, Georgia and Mississippi. Since
then, the blight has been found
wherever there are chestnut trees
east of the Mississippi river.

~The nut. of the Chinese chestnut
is larger than the American, but. not
quite se sweet,~ Gravatt said.
~There is just a little something
missing~a little something that is
hard to describe.~~

The hybrid has proved successful ~
for orchards and farm woodlot plantings, he added, and it begins to bear
nuts about the fifth year.

Buddies Help Veteran
To Buy Station Wagon

ATLANTA. ~- Seven thousandodd ex-G.I.s, attending a. surplus

The blind veteran, Claude J.

of the list, and under War Assets
administration rules of first to ap- }

of getting the station wagon.

His former buddies acclaimed
their waivers, and only a personal
plea by Bedenbough prevented
them from taking up a collection
to purchase the automobile for
him.

Everyone a Mail Man in Some

Parts of the Australian Bush

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA. In
ports of the Australian bush letters
are carried by strange ~~mailmen~~
~often by tradesmen and even by
passing strangers.

Almost every traveler in the outback has had the experience of being asked to deliver a letter.

Sometimes letters are left on a
cleft stick or under a stone with a

~marker~ and the next man takes,

it along. In the bush a letter is a
sacred trust-born out.of the com
* radeship of pioneer days.

In the artesian water belt of
southwest Queensland people often
talk of news traveling by ~bore
drain cable.~~ rn)

The phrase has the same meaning as ~~bush telegraph~ ~ a piece
of news that has arrived swiftly and
mysteriously but is often true.

In some districts the term has
another meaning~which may point
to the origin of the first.

A message in a jam tin will float
~miles along a well-kept ditch carrying water from a bore until stopped
by a piece of: wire netting set there
for that purpose.

On one occasion a police trooper stayed overnight with a man suspected ~f being a cattle thief.
The policeman talked most of the
night so that the suspect had no
chance of slipping off to warn accomplices. But while he talked a
letter had been floating down the
bore drain to tell of his arrival and
evidence was destroyed.

NEGRO Lanois SOUTH OF THE BORDER IS BUILDING A~~
NEW NATION! a pe)

We really should know more about the treniéadout @ |
achievements of Negro labor down in the West Indies. The Nezii? > |
gro workers in the area are winning a stubborn struggle for full
self-government and independence against some pretty smart * F
and shifty opposition. In the whole history of the Negro race~ i
some pretty smart and shifty opposition. In the whole history of.
| the Negro race there is nothing to match the mounting achieve- |

mients-of the three million West Indian Negroes, all blood relatives of U.S. Negro citizens.

And what are the boys doing in that vast sprawling area
witch begins a few miles off the coast of Florida and stretches ~;
into South America? Ps
With a minimum of violence and bloodshed they 4re converting ~;
the West Indies into a new Negro nation in the western sets Ae og
phere. Slowly but surely they are destroying the exploitation j
' which three centur~es French, Dutch and British imperialism ~ b
have used to sap and frustrate the lives of millions of Negroes.

This whole struggle for a free West lidied is not, being
| waged by. a middle class of small business men and professionals dreaming of fat-proftts which will come their way: after the.
imperialists have been driven out. Not by a long shot. The mid| dle class in the West Indies is numercially small and om She;
whole is closely tied to the small upper clas. | oe |

The struggle for the peoples of the West Indies is hedig led
by the trade union movement not only because it is the milhons

of Negro workers being exploited, but primarily because - they~

are the only other economic interest on the islands which have: }
not been absorbed by foreign capital in London, New York,.> i
Amsterdam or Paris.:

Those business interests would prefer that universal sufferlage, trade unions, local manufacturers, and é~ven universal ~, free education be kept out of the West Indies. These things menace their continud domination of the islands. This is as true of
Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, ~and the other British West Indian
possessions, as it is of Martinique, "Guadeloupe, ~and other
French and Dutch possessions. -

France has attempted to ride out the storm by incorporating her West Indian possessions into France by making them
~a province enjoying all the privileges and obligations ef: provinces and obligations of provinces in France proper. The Ne- -
eroes ~are no longer colonial subjects but French citizens. In-the ~:
British West Indies not only have the local Negro ~populations -
won the-right to vote, and a large measure of-control over their~
internal affairs, plus a British promise to federate all the British West Indies into ~a ~new national dominion, but: the British.:
are toying with the idea of bringing Negro representatives to sit.
in parliament in London. Never in the history of the British empire has such a thing happened. |

The ultimate outcome of this whole self-rule indittahdénce
movement in the West Indies depends substantially upon
American public opinion. For many years to come America will
have a very strong voice in Paris and London and~ American ~
Negro citizens can do a great deal to see that this influence as:
exerted on behalf of democracy in the Americas regardless of
race, creed or color. The wotk now being done by the Caribbean commission is a rood example of the value of internation
a} cooneration in the West Indies-progress. __

And this excellent work ~of Negro trade dione~ ~affiliated?
nrimarilv with the West Indian Trade Union congress, is really
being achieved on a financial shoe string. The dominant Labor
party in Barbados: for example does not even own a.mimeo~ ~
graph machine. Its propaganda is carried on by word of mouth
and rarely re the mails used to distribute publicity. As for print- ~

' ing handbiils in four colors is not even heard of.

~

The money that Negroes waste in the U. S. could do won:
ders for Negro freedom in the West Indies, not to mention Africa, | wonder if we need something like the international Jewish
congress to funnel our spare cash into the right places. Perhape *
this is the time for the Pan-African Federation to start. putting ~
