NEW YORK CITY
That sound you’re hearing is the scurrying of some of our lib
eral friends from the left side of the fence to the safety of mid
ground and right field. The years of fashionable liberalism are over.
They are as dead as a communist’s conscience.
Personally, I'm tired of it all. I didn't even get
a slight sense of satisfaction that pore old Henry
Wallace got h<p to the jive his Progressives'
have been putting down People hi re who knew me
■■fc in the years when 1 was slugging it out with the
besl of e,n ' tell me Ive K rown cynical and disiU
usu,ned ,r> dotage. All I know is that I can't
work up into a tizzy about The Problem like I
could a year or so
When I think about the number of tunes I al-
MBHHBhfIH most got my haid whupped for trying to show a
few folks the light, I wonder has it been worth
NELL RUSSELL the effort ? It looks as if everybody’s been hop
ping aboard the gravy train except Aunt Nellie.
I recall the personal abuse I took from a couple of co-workers on
a late but not too lamented newspaper, when I tried to show them
that the red tinge hanging over the jemt wasn’t just my Imagination,
and that something very peculiar was in the process of being cooked
up. I didn't have any crystal ball to peep into, either. When I walked
off the job rather than let a certain gentleman censor my column
according to Pal Joey's latest palaver, I heard tell I was called a
few prize names my mama didn't give me. A year later, everybody
knew what the score was and one of the some individuals who had
been so sassy twelve months previously had the gall to tell somebody
what a "brave" gal I’d been to stand up for the "courage of my con
victions." »
When I worked on a newspaper, anybody with a hard luck
story came straight to my desk. Most of them had a long face
and a short bankroll. If I wasn’t helping somebody get a job,
I was helping ’em find a long lost cousin or acting as peace
maker tn a love brawl.
It dawned on me the other day that I've spent about eighteen
years battling for other people but when I've needed a little aid and
assistance myself, all I've been able to get has been a lot of alibis
and excuses.
Take this business of race relations. There was a time out there
in Minnesota when I was taking on as many as three and four
speaking engagements a week. When everybody else was too busy or
didn't want to be bothered with crawling out in twenty below zero
to speak to a bunch of church ladies or high school kids, Russell was
right there Johnny-on-the-spot.
I came in one night frozen into a solid hunk. My husband had
to take me down in the basement and sit me on the furnace door to
thaw me out. I’d been clear out to the far side of Lake Harriet to
speak to a group of about twenty high school girls. The buses on
38th Street seem to have a peculiar schedule whenever the thermo
meter gets down around zero. I stood on a comer waiting for one so
long that my galoshes took root. When the blamed thing did come
along, the driver had to whittle me out with a pick-ax.
After I’d sat on the furnace door for an hour and thawed out
enough to look like a human being again instead of a walking icicle,
my husband said to me: ,
“Maybe you’ll get some sense one of these days. What are you
getting out of all this anyhow?"
That was a good question.
I called myself doing my bit for the community. I called my
self aiding towards better race relations, whatever that is. I’m
sure the community is still holding together even though I’m
: 1,500 miles off home base and race relations, like Old Man
River, just keep right on rolling along. That’s more than I have
been able to say for my finances.
I was calling the turn on the phoney liberals years ago. Now that
' it's all coming out in the wash and some of these characters are

really showing themselves for what they are. I may well ask what i
good it's doing Yours Truly? I-
A lot of people are just now discovering they have been taken
for a ride. I could have told them that a long while ago. Surely this
psychic ability of mine entitles me to at least a turban and a tent. .
Russell, the Wonder. Sees all, knows all. Palm-reading. Noggin- I
feeling. Free. No charge for nothing. Everybody step up.
Well, I can predict one thing. From now on. Yours Truly is I
looking out for Yours Truly. Somebody else is going to have to '
worry about The Problem and the state of affairs in Sandusky, i
Gawgia. The only thing I'm going to worry about is the state of the :
paycheck the Man gives me.
Supposing they do pass a law requiring communists to
register. The first thing they'll have to do. Is find a communist
who's going to be stoopld enough to admit he Is a communist.
The Haj they’re ducking underground these days, an admitted
commie is going to be aJkrare as a two buck steak in a supair
market.
There's something a lot of people just cant get through their
heads. That communists don't operate according to the established
pattern for other folks and therefore aren’t very likely to be re
stricted by laws contingent upon their cooperation.
If it become illegal to be a communist, then communists will i
merely cease to be communists, for all practical purposes.
It's just that simple as far as they are concerned.
The things you see In New York. A drunken man lay sprawled '
across the tracks of one of the subway stations a few nights ago.
He had evidently fallen from the platform. The odd part of It was,
his glasses didn’t break when he fell. The train pulled Into the station
and stopped about twenty feet short of the fellow. He was In such an
alcoholic stupor he didn't even have the brains to be scared when
they pulled him off the tracks. The bystanders in the station almost
had mass heart failure, but the lush didn't bat an eyelash.
They're making strong stuff these days.

The latest of the "problem" films Is "No Way Out.” This stars
Richard Widmark in as nasty a role as you'll ever see on the screen.
I doubt if any Negro doctor, In real life, would react as the Negro
doctor does in the films to Wldmark's insults.
If you like your movies grim, you’ll certainly enjoy this one.
Personally, I don’t think I want to see another “problem” film
for a long while. Hollywood, with Its usual lack of Imagination,
• is following the “problem” cycle through to the bitter end just
as it did the musical, super-western and peycopathlc murder
cycles.
