It is fear that all of our highest hopes
and oar deepest convictions may be sub
ject to change without notice.
I believe it is no exaggeration to say
that those of us who have lived through
the first of the twentieth century have
seen more violent changes on the face of
this earth than there were in all of the
preceding fifty centuries of recorded his
tory. The only pattern that we have known
is one of unmitigated and unpredictable
instability and turbulence.—Robert Sher

SCENE
“High and Lowdown"
BY BAILEE THOMAS
An important series of lectures
is the American Studies series at
the Summer Session of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. The re
maining lectures are scheduled
for July 16, 23, 30 and August 6,
13,20 and 27. Shelton Granger,
Mill City Urban League man de
livers the lecture on July 30. His
subject is "Minorities in the Twin
Cities.’’ On August 27, Sally Lu
ther. member of the legislature
and Urban League board member
will lecture on “The Pattern of
Twin Cities Politics."
At Chicago: Walter White
warned the Republican platform
committee that the country’s Ne
gro citizens would not be satis
fied with platform generalities
and platitudes in urging it to ap
prove a strong civil rights plank.
It was apparent as late as Wed
nesday that there was a split on
the civil rights proposals between
the North and South. There was a
possibility of a floor fight on the
civil rights plank.
The CIO from its Washington
headquarters urged both parties
to stand up for human rights and
pass strong civil rights planks.
Minnesota Democrats and most
Northern Democrats are hoping
the G. O. P. will insert a weak
civil rights plank in its platform.
Fbur men listening and looking a
TV set in a Wabasha Street store
all hoped Taft would be nominat
ed. Questioned all except one was
a registered Democrat.
A more cautious Democrat
from southern .Minnesota told
this column conductor that
all the talk about how easy
Taft would be to defeat if
nominates!. Eeverybody
thought Truman had no
chance to be elected. Includ
ing most of his supporters the
southern Minnesota man
point'd out.
All over the Twin Cities people
are saying the Aiderman Aarchi
bald Carey’s speech was as good
as either McArthur's or Hoover's
but none of the Twin City dailies
even carried excerpts from it.
Editor Westling of the Inde
pendent Republican, a Minnesota
GOP. party publication is anxious
to get a copy of the Carey talk
because he said it was the best
talk of the convention.

During the 1948 Olympic
Games in London, many of the
European sport writers watched
our girl's track team go through
their first workout on English
soil. From then on they dubbed
them "American Glamour Girls,
WILLIAM O’SHIELDS
IS MINNESOTA BOY
William O’Shields who is in
Europe to cover the 1952 Olym
pics for the Associated Negro
Press is a Minnesota boy who at
tended the University of Minne
sota.
O'Sheilds, a St. Paul boy, is on
the athletic staff at Tuskegee In
stitute, where he has coached
football for years. His news arti
cles will appear in the Upper
Midwest exclusively in the
Spokesman and Recorder papers,
and the betting suddenly changed.
Wherein the English touters had
been offering two to one in favor
of the American girls, they re
versed the odds against them.
Frankly speaking, our women's
track and field team did look as
though they had come to the
games to represent the U. S. in
some sort of fashion show. Their
jockey-white satin suits were
always immaculately clean, and
their hair gave one the impres
sion that they had freshly come
from a hair dressing parlor. And
to top it off, their actions were
"shockingly feminine.”
Contrast our 1948 American
Olympic women's track and field
team with the European Olympic
representatives of the same year:
their girls were masculine in ap
pearance as well as in their ac
tions. In fact, many of the Ameri
con critics thought it was good
their hair was longer than the
men's hair, or it would have been
difficult to distinguish them
apart.
However, there was one excep
tion: Fanny Blankers-Koen. the
great runner from Holland who
won the 100 meters. 200 meters
and 80 meters hurdles. She had
more Gori-given beauty than any
other woman contestant in the
1948 Olympic Games. She is the
mother of two children, and. I
have been told, is a wonderful
housekeeper. So you see. natural
feminine beauty can go along
with athletic accomplishments in
the feminine world.
The conversation gradually
drifted into how our women would
fare against the Russian women
if they decided to enter a female
team in the 1952 Olympic Games
at Helsinki.
The experts generally conceed
victory to the Russian women's
Olympic team. The opinions were
that the bulk of the frail women

France and Italy cannot begin to

Nevertheless. I did assure the
critics who persisted in calling

"glamour girls,” that we had a

were bent on erasing the embar
rassments they suffered in the

Delegates Switch

DELEGATES CLAIM TAFT
MEN KILLED FORTHRIGHT
CIVIL RIGHTS PLANK
Chicago, July B—Gov. Dewey of
New York, in an elaborately set
up press conference, announced
yesterday the switch of two N. Y.
Negro delegates to the support of
Gen. Eisenhower for the Republi
can Presidential nomination. The
two men had wavered back and
forth between the general and
Sen. Taft.
Dewey, clad in a white sum
mer suit, walked into the press
conference with a smile. He an
nounced that Harold C. Burton
and Charles S. Hill, two Negro
delegates from the Harlem sec
tion of New York City, had de
cided to come out for Eisenhower.
Hill was called back to New York
yesterday because of the death
of hia daughter and his vote will
be cast by Mrs. Esther Hunter,
the alternate.
Reads A Statement
Then the governor called Bur
ton and Mrs. Hunter Into the
room. Burton read from a long
typewritten statement which at
tempted to justify the new posi
tion Declaring himself a life long
Republican, Burton said he had
been dissatisfied with Elsen
hower's pronouncement on civil
rights matters upon his return to
the United States from his com
mand in Europe. The general had
said he favored leaving the mat
ters up to the states while Burton
insisted if Negroes were to
achieve "first class citizenship"
the country must have a com
pulsory federal fair employment
practices commission.
Taft, Ike Agree On Civil Rights?
Two weeks ago Sen, Taft,
whose position on states' rights
had been duplicated by Eisen
hower when he wooed southern
delegates, announced he was In
favor of ending segregation In the
schools of the District of Colum
bia. Burton and his colleague,
Hill, then came out for Taft.
Works on Civil Rights
"Since coming to Chicago, Hill
and I have been working for a
civil rights plank in the Republi
can platform which is doomed to
failure because the subcommittee
and resolutions committee are
controled by old guard Republic
ans who are supporting Sen.
Taft." claimed Burton. "I have
every reason to believe, because
of my conversation with the dele
gates on the committees, that
FEPC has the support of those
supporting Gen. Eisenhower.
Ike Still Must Be Convinced
Burton said he knew Eisen
hower would still have to be
“convinced” of the need of a
compulsory FEPC but he felt
that because of his support by
such "liberal-minded” men as
Dewey and Gov. Driscoll of New
Jersey the general would be
"guided in the right direction.’’
Gov. Dewey was asked whether
in the light of this statement, he
favored a compulsory FEPC. He
replied he wanted to see what
kind of platform plank was adopt
ed and then would discuss the
subject further. The governor cut
off more questions. He said he
had to catch up with his delega
tion and get to the convention
hall.

Negro voters. Carey asserted,
are disillusioned by broken prom
ises given them during 20 years
of Democratic rule.
"For 20 faltering years, he de
clared. "the Democrats have led
them stumbling thru the dark

must catch them by the hand and
lead them to the light, remember
ing the injunction of the Man of
Galilee that "whosoever would be
the greatest among you must be
the servant of all.”
Carey said the people gave the
Democratic party power on its
promises. Now, he said, millions
of Negro Americans are disap
pointed.
Democratic AHN Blaatod
"We have heard them promise
an anti-lynch law and a federal

Carey. "‘More Irresponsible prom

"When some Democrat cries.

'The string of promises dangled

their freedom and their freedom

Carey said he would be "lesa

under the Democrats some help
has been given little people."
Broken Promises Cltod
’They have taken from the fa
vored and given to the less fa
vored,” he added, 'but the unseen
tragedy is thia—that in order to
give the one a pittance they have
taken from that same one his in
itiative, his industry, hla incentive
to high endeavor and even the re
ward of his enterprise.
"They have promised peace and
there is no peace. They promised
prosperity, but now they take
substance from the least of us.
They promised order, but we live
In dismal chaos. Such has been
the 20 years of Democrat rule."
