This young lady was thrilled
over the prospect, designed to
test her ability along every line.
She is an art major and English

to clinch a position on the board
with her initial essay on the subject, ~Art Classes at Spelman
College.~ A former student of
Hale Woodruff, former art instructor at Spelman, and Miss
Miriam Bowman, present instructor, Miss-Gordon has _. received
favorable recognition for her
work. For career preparation, she
hopes to attend the Philadelphia

CHICAGO ~ ANP ~ Claude
A. Barnett, director of the Associated [Negro Press, accompanied by Mrs. Barnett, leave New
York City this week by plane
for Liberia, Mr. Barnett, who is
a trustee of the? Booker T. Washington institute, a vocational
school at ~Kakata, Liberia; is
making a business visit to that institution!

They were to fly to England

on a British Overseas Air com-.

pany plane, then ~fly to Freetown.
Sierra Leone, West Africa, and
thence to Liberia by boat.
While in Africa, Mr. and Mrs.
Barnett will visit also the principal citic s in Sierra Leone, the
Gold Coast, the French Ivory
Coast and Nigetia, They expect to
remain about three months,
traveling 12,000 miles and returning by way of London and Paris,

joining their daughter, Etta Vee.

Barnett,, who is in Germany with

American Red Cross, in Paris.
Because of the rapidly rising

interest'on the part of. American

-' Negroes in Africa and vice-versa,

Mr. Barnett will visit newspapers
in the area and arrange for more

interest ito Negro newspaper readers in the United States. He points
out that Accra in the Gold Coast

maintains two daily newspapers
operated by Africans, while in

chain.

Etta Moten, concert, stage and
film celebrity, decided to accompany he rhusband because of her
long time interest in African music, Shé will study it on a comparative basis and is taking along a
recording machine so as to bring
back records of African song and
speech, She has received invitations to sing in several of the
capitals they will visit.

also,. opportunities in Africa for
skilled American Negro workers
in such trades as carpentry, brick
masonery, electricians, etc., and
will report what openings there
may be for Negro business men
with capital to invest. It is peinted out, for example, that 98 per
ent of the stores in Liberia are
operated by whites, Assyrians,
Dutch and French and that these
operate On a very small basis.
Probably the best merchandising
is done by the Firestone~ trading
company which imports goods
from America for the benefit of
Firestone native workers on the

firm~s rubber plantations.

The average per capita income

compared with $863 in the ~~independent~ state of New York,.a
state with a minimum of outside
ownership. Most of what ~~industries exist and all of the utilities and railways that service the
south are owned outside the region,~ he pointed out. Nine southern states hold the nine lowest
places in the nstion~s per capita
income, Dr. Embree revealed.

His statistics also showed that
the south spends $34.29 annually
on each school child~s education,
while the avarege for the rest of
the nation totals $74.44, Sharecropping, a scheme devised to
~continue a kind of slavery for

whites as Negroes, he declared.

But white southerners, mostly

its victims, fiercely defend the ion~s propose = Communist

system as ~the only. means of
keeping Negroes in their place,~
he said. The real enemies of the
south are those ~~who keep fostering a colonial economy to drain
riches out of the. south and leave
here disease, illiteracy, and poverty along with fear and hate,~
he stressed.

~Whenever you hear anyone
defending farm tenancy and high
freight rates, attacking trade
unions, urging violence against
Negroes or whispering against
Catholics and Jews, laughing at
conservation of soil or of power,
you have a right to ask why and
what he is getting out of it,~~ Dr.
Embree said.

Southern life would be transformed overnight for everyone by
doubling wages, he contended, but
prosperity: can come only on a
basis of equality for all. ~She can
enjoy the fruits of independence
only. if all her people are independent,~ Dr. Embree said, ~Nothing is clearer in modern industrial democracy than that all
go up or down together.

FASHION NCTES

By JUNE VIVIAN TITUS

This year~s spring hats have
a.younger viewpoint, so when
you buy your spring hat be sure
it makes you look as if you had~

skipped the past few years in- |
stead. of adding. them. Clear
smooth brows and neat young

heads take the spotlight in hats
for the new season. This

smaller silhouettes, and a gay
variety of flower-fresh colors.
Much of the young look is due
to the back swept technique
used by almost all of the hat
designers. Trailing veiling, ribbon streamers and _ cascading
flowers tumble down in gay disorder from the back of off-theface straws.

The new hats are perfectly

proportioned with deeper round
ed crowns that follow the natural conture of the _ head.
Though, fairly small, they are
shaped to fit, rather than perched
on in the fashion of the doll hat,
and look refreshingly different.
Brimless caps are shaped to
curve down over one eye with
great flattery avd sophistication.
Many types of brims are also

for improved health and educational programs for the country
and particularly for the south,
and the necessity for equal economic opportunities.

Meanwhile, the state awaited

Governor Thompson~s action on
the white primary bill, among the
avalanche of measures re-submitted to him follé6wing the supreme court ruling ousting of
Herman Talmadge.
In ~Atlanta, Sen, G. Evertt Millican, who fought the ~tactics used
by Herman Talmadge in putting
across the hate measures in the
do-nothing general assembly session, blamed obstructionist tactics
of the ~pretender~s~ forces were
to blame for the lack of accomplishments.

be frightened into dissolution.

by which an organization is labeled Communist-front, Rather:
berg said that increasingly liberal organizations may withdraw
their support from such progressive legislation as FEPC, antilynching bill, and the anti-pol]
tax bill.

He stated that ~unwittingly
President Truman has _ struck
liberalism and race relations a
serious blow, placing reaction in
a commanding position. ~

Others point out that the liberal United Federal Workers

so, they declare that the jobs of

employees may be threatened in.
that nearly 40 percent of the

membership is composed
of colored workers.

Union leaders say that already
there are indications that government employes are getting
jittery. There are reports that
many are dropping their membership in UFW.

Although the move on the
part of the President is said to
be aimed at Communists and
Communist sympathizers, the
fact that it has the strong endorsement of men like Congressman John E. Rankin of Mississippi, and Eugene Cox of Geor

NEW YORK.~(ANP)~America~s drive against Communists
and communism is being headed
by the Negro~s No. 1 enemy,
Mississippi's John Rankin.

That revelation was: made last
week by the American Youth
for Democracy, an organization
known for its consistent fight
against. jim crow, in a statement on the hearings on Rankin~s bill to outlaw communism
by the house un-American affairs committee, of which he is
a leading member.

~Today, American college students got a peek behind the curtain of ~anti-communism~ being
spread by Pres. Truman, Congressman Rankin and _ others,~
the AYD said. ~We saw that

|

the colleges themselves were
being threatened. We saw that |
anti-communism is a- cloak t
side anti-semitism and racism.~
The AYD described Rankin~s
race. baiting as. ~what can be
more disgustingly un-American
than his Hitler-like racism.~ He
answered a claimed that America is a melting pot by ~Jew
baiting~ the AYD charged.
~You just talk to these highclass American. Jews~you'll discover different. Nuw take this
drive against the British empire
by the Zionists ~ ain~t that a
Communist front?~ he asked.
Rankin used filthy derogatory
terms about Negroes, the AYD
said. ~Are you aware they (the

Communists) teach ~niggers~ to | |

blow up bridges?~ he queried.

The AYD, which has an integrated mixed national staff,
expressed concern over Pres.

workers. ~It is bad enough that
the ~authority~ for this blacklist

Rankin, Arch Negro Hater, Sparks ~
Anti-Red Drive; AYD Finds

will be the files of the ill-famed
Dies committee.

~But Pres. Truman suggests
that the colleges should help in
this inquisition by turning over
lists of those considered ~subversive~ by the administration,~
the AYD statement said. ~He
would like to have a revival of
the Rapp-Coudert days, when
intellectural terror and intimidation ruled the campus. Those
days saw not only a threat of
withdrawal of funds, as suggested by the American Legion.~

The AYD = expressed concern.
of the sources from which the

anti-Communist drive springs.
Rankin, frequently coupled to
Bilbo as the nations~ most publicized Negro hater, is condact-.
ing the hearings on communism.
