JACKIE. ROBINSON --- AMERICAN.

Recently, Eddie Dyer, manager
of the St, Louis Cardinals, baseball club, -in- discussing- Jackie

Robinson, Negro first baseman of:

the Brooklyn Dodgers, said, ~He

entitled io all the rights.and priv
ileges I am.~
&

Perhaps the awarding of the
Legion of Merit to Eddie Dyer
would b2 cut cf order, but wren
a man of public prominence
makes a public statement, chat is
released throughout th2 country,
such as that it would seem that
some award should be in order.
it all remains to be seen tho,
whethcr this statement ~was sincere or jusi lip-service.

It would be a good idea for
some of the key figures in Flint~s
business and industrial world ~to
clip this statement, frame it either on their desks or in some
prominent place, as a. constant
reminder that the ~tenth man~~
the Negro ~ is indeed an Ameri
