FORTUNE PRESENTS US .
Fortune does us neither good or hurt;

being the sole cause and sovereign mis

taste and color from the internal consti

NINETEENTH YEAR NO. 8 -
In Look Magazine:
Win Negro Vote Or
Lose Election White
Tells Ike And Adlai
By WALTER WHITE
Executive Secretary, National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, In October 7 LOOK Magazine
Negro support, which gave Truman the margin of victory In ‘4B,
has not been switched to Stevenson yet, says the writer, nor can
Elsenhower count on it; the candidates must earn support-
Harry S. Truman defeated Thomas E. Dewey in 1948 by
the margin of 115 electoral votes. The Negro vote of three
states —Ohio, Illinois and California—gave him 68 per cent of
the winning margin. Five other Northern industrial states were
also won in 1948 by the Democrats where victory wmuld have
been most doubtful had not Negroes, on the sole issue of civil
rights, voted almost en masse—
not for the Democrats, but for
Truman, because he had been the
first President ever to take an un
equivocal stand on this issue.
In 1952, there are 17 states,
writh 293 electoral votes, in which
the Negro will unmistakably hold
the balance of power in any fairly
close election. It takes 266 elec
toral votes to elect a President
and Vice President—27 less than
the total of those states in which
the Negro could conceivably turn
the tide of victory or defeat for
either party. | Democratic ticket
In addition, a quiet but deter
mined campaign in the courts
against disfranchisement during
the past -10 years and a more re
cent one to stimulate registration
and voting have yielded some two
million Negro voters in the South.
The mere existence of numbers
equivalent to the balance of power
would be meaningless if it were
not that Negroes are more united
on civil rights than so large a
segment of voters has ever been
on a single issue.
This election year, is, or may
prove to be, vastly different
from 1948 because of this situa
tion. Harry Truman is not a can
didate. The gratitude shown by
Negroes of every economic strat
um, wherever they live or what
ever their party affiliations may
be, has not yet been transmitted
to the shoulders of Adlai Steven
son. Admirable though the Illinois
governor’s position has been in at
tempting to persuade the Illinois
Legislature to pass an FEPC law
and in sending troops promptly
to Cicero last summer to put
down rioting there ( he is still an
unknown and untried quantity to
Negro voters.
When Governor Stevenson—at
his first mass press conference —
read into the Democratic plat
form his own interpretation as to
FEPC and the amendment of the
Senate rules on filibustering, he
won no new friends among civil
rights advocates.
Negroes Have Doubts
The Illinois governor, a man of
sensitivity and integrity accord
ing to those who know him well
and as demonstrated by his re
cord, may clear up the current
doubts of Negro voters. But other
circumstances, such as the un
necessary placation of the most

To Negroes, the Texas-Missts
sippi delegations' decision meant
the choice by the Democratic
party as to which aggregation of
votes it deemed most valuable
the waning anti-civil-rights,
white- supremacy Southern bloc
on one hand or, on the other, the
Negro. The ‘pros” seated the
Dixiecrat delegations of Texas
and Mississippi as well as from
South Carolina, Virginia and
Louisiana, even after the latter
had refused to sign the watered
down pledge not to cut the party’s
political throat again as they had
in 1948.
Those in control of the conven
tion’s machinery had demonstrat
ed that they had succumbed to the
same fatal malady that afflicted
the Republicans and thereby
caused them to lose five straight
national elections. They believed
that the Negro vote was “in the
bag” and could therefore be ig
nored.
Partial atonement for this gra
tuitous insult was afforded by the
platfrom planks pledging support
of an FEPC (without mention of
those initials) and amendment of
Senate and House rules against
filibusters and other forms of
"gag" rules and obstruction.

The recent revelation that Twin City taxi firms holding licenses
to operate passenger carrying vehicles on city streets have no Negro
drivers, highlighted by a hearing of charges against the Minneapolis
Yellow Cab firm by the Mill City FEP Commission for refusing a
Minneapolis man an application because he was a Negro has caused
quite a stir.
The above photos furnished the Spokesman and Recorder papers
by John J. Williams, former Milwaukee, Wisconsin editor show some
of the Negro women who drive Yellow Cabs in the neighboring
state's metropolis. *
At the top, one of the Negro women drivers, is shown giving
service to a fare. In the bottom photo are some of the women drivers,
a white male driver and a woman office employee in Milwaukee.
The Minneapolis Yellow Cab Co., recently began the employment
of women drivers because it stated "men were not available.”
Two of the smaller firms operating in Minneapolis who are mostly
driver owned cabs told a Minneapolis business man and Urban League
officials that they were favorable to hiring Negro-Americans but felt
that the Yellow Cab Co. which has the majority of cab licenses and
is not driver operated ought to make the first openings.
Stevenson Vs. Eisenhower
Debate Enjoyed By Crowd
At
In what was probably one
that lias taken place in the Twii
at the Mill City NAACP meet
Wheatley house.
“Why I Support Stevensoi
bower’’ were the two topics
very heated but informative ar
guments by the four speakers.
About 100 persons were present
and seemed to enjoy the debate
very much. The speakers were
frequently interupted by applause
and at the close of the speeches
they were showered with questions
from the audience.
Douglas Hall and I. Howard
Bennett argued for the election
of Stevenson and Sparkman. Tal
madge Carey and P. Kenneth
Peterson urged the election of
Eisenhower and Nixon.
Jonas G. Schwartz, chairman of
the program committee for the
branch acted as moderator.
Most of the depate centered
around civil rights and cormp
tion.
Talmadge Carey, prominent
civic figure, opened the debate
with a scathing attack on the
Democratic administration for fail
ing to carry out its civil rights
plank and for being corrupt.
He predicted that the Demo
crats won't press the Nixon
charges.
"If they press the issue they
will disclose that 90 per cent of
both the Republicans and Demo
crats are doing the same thing,"
Carey stated.
He did however, credit Steven
son for his attitude on the present
controversy as he called it. ‘ stand
and sane application" in the Nixon
affair
Carey cited examples of cor
ruption that have been revealed
under the present administration
and that this was evidence to
him that there should be a change
in administration at Washington.
His concluding statement was
"I think the average American
wants good clean government." It
was his view that Eisenhower was
the only candidate who was cap
able of bringing honesty back into
government.
L Howard Bennett, prominent
attorney and civic figure and the
first Stevenson speaker promptly
challenged Carey’s charges.
In very emphatic words he de
clared that the reason that the
Democratic party hadn't been able
to carry out its civil rights pro
gram was because of the “unholy

Stevenson Supports
FEPC; Tells Dixie
Why He Does
Richmond. Va.—ln Virginia’s
first mixed political rally, before
a platform party of mixed white
and Negro supporters. Governor
Adlai Stevenson, Democratic can
didate for president, told 5000
people in the Mosque Auditorium
his firm stand on issues of the
Democratic platform. Governor
Btevenson said: ,
“In the broad field of minority
rights, the Democratic Party has
stated its position in its platform,
a position to which I adhere. I
should justly earn your contempt
If I talked one way in the South
and another elsewhere. Certainly
no intellectually dishonest candi
date could by an alchemy of elec
tion. be converted into an honest
President."
On the platform with other dis
tinguished Virginians headed by
Governor Battle were Dr. Harry
Penn. Roanoke, Va., past presi
dent of Omega Phi Phi frater
nity; Dr. J. M. Tinsley, Presi
dent of the Virginia State NAA
CP; Roscoe Jackson, Neverett
Eggleston; E. J. Boisaeau, Mrs.
Blanch Coles Case; Rev. W’. L.
Ransome; Oliver W. Hill, former
Richmond City Councilman, now
member of the President’s Com
mittee for Contract Compliance;
James Spencer; Ralph V. Dorsey;
Amos Clarke, secretary of the
Richmond Civic Council; Rev.
Wm. B. Ball and W. St. Elmo
Reede, president of the South Side
Democratic clubs.
Governor Stevenson said that
much of the South's racial prob
lems had resulted from proverty
rather than prejudice.
'Economically depressed whites
and economically depressed Ne
gri >es often had to fight over al
ready gnawed bones. Then there
ensued that most pathetic of
struggles: the struggle of the
poor against the poor."
Further in his address, which
was interrupted forty-four times
by applause, Governor Stevenson
lashed at political abuse of dis
crimination saying, “I do not at
tempt to Justify the unjustifiable
whether it is anti-Negroism in
one place, anti-Semitism in an
other, or for that matter, anti-
Southernism in many places. But
neither can I justify self-right
eousness anywhere. Let none of
us be smug on this score, for no
where In the Nation have we
come to that state or harmonious
amity between racial and relig
ious groups to which we aspire.
"The political abuse of the
problem of discrimination in em
ployment. the exploitation of ra
cial aspirations on the one hand,
the racial prejudices on the
other all for votes is both a
dangerous thing and a revolting
spectacle in our political life. It
wit) always be better to reason
together than to hurl recrimina
tions at one another,
ttons at one another.”
Commenting on Governor Stev
enson's speech and the chance of
the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket,
former City Councilman Oliver
W. Hill said:
"Governor Stevenson greatly in
creased his stature in this area
He made a wonderful impression.
He showed real grasp of the needs
of the South and a candid ap
proach to its problems. Everyone
who heard him agreed he is a man
of integrity and vision.”

NEW YORK.—Minneapolis and St. Paul have been sub
jected to a vicious smearing in an article in the September edi
tion of Stag Magazine.
Ttilcd the “Twin Cities of Hin” and written by one Frank
Rasky, the feature is littered with generalizations and inac
curacies that make the two towns appear to be wide open, roar
ing pits of immorality.
Rasky writes in his openini
"Sodom and Gomorrah were
siasy kindergartens compared to
America's modern 'Twin Sin
Cities," Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The Biblical towns, you'll recall,
were turned to salt, because their
women were so fast, the men folk
guzzled wine all day, and at night
both sexes indulged In carnal
orgies ’
Rasky continues
“Mlnneapolltes and St. Paulites
continue that tradition of weak
nesses of the flesh—and plenty
more. The girls who roll their hips
along Wabasha and Nicollet
Streets may not wear veils, but
they have more seductive ways of
luring in suckers. The men may
not down wine, but the whiskey
flows lushly and hot. And It would
take more than an acre of salt to
stamp out the gambling, dope
peddling and gangsterism that
flourishes there nightly virtually
“Community boosters will try
to convince you that their com
bined metropolis of some 900,000
people ha* been cleaned up by the
gendarmes and ia a* white a*
■now."
Rasky must have talked to a
lot of cab driver* during hi* stay
and so he reports, to at least one
“local newspaperman." From cab
drivers he gathered the informa
tion that ’St. Paul ha* tamed
down somewhat" and that "vio
lence In Minneapolis isn’t as spec
tacular as in the Dilllnger era."
Rasky writes that the afore
mentioned “local newspaperman"
informed him that while “vice
may be more centered in Minne
apolis dives . . beneath the quiet
surface of St. Paul you’ll detect
a hell of a lot of illicit hell-rais

Rasky tackles the vice racket
In the Twin Cities. He writes:
"Nobody knows who the top
organizers are, but It would sur
prise no one if the masterminds
were someday found to be high
society businessmen."
He continues:
“Let's say you’re an out-of
tuwner on a business visit to Mill
Town (the name commonly ap
plied to Minneapolis because the
flour nristocrata, Plllsbury and
General Mills founded their em
pires there). You’re staying at
