“nigger lover, Jew lover, Communist”, and other endearing
names. Naturally, I’m rather pleased to learn they read my
paper.
I hasten. Mr. Gross, to point out one thing. In every sense
of the word I am humble and grateful to my fellow citizens.
I am aware of the fact that they could have beaten me up,
or, for that matter, murdered me by now.
Too, I am aware of a liberal movement of a sort here in
the state. Unfortunately, those who hold views which I con
sider fair are afraid to open their mouths. It’s still far from
safe to say openly that a Negro is a human being and as such
is entitled to the same rights, privileges, and hopes as anyone
else. In short, there is some conviction in the state, but con
I viction without courage ain’t worth a damned. Of course, they'll
hold the hats of anyone who will fight. You see. it only takes
two or three to mess up a whole town — and there isn’t a town
in Mississippi without that two 01 thiee.
To a great degree it's not what someone might do so much
as it is what someone might say. With me, personally, I don’t
give a happy damned what anyone Ws; the only question is,
what can they do? And in my case the only thing they can do is
stop spending money wbth me, which, believe me, they have
done in droves. But, all in all. I've managed to keep my paper
together for two and one-half years now. That, of course, has
been by the grace of God and Senator Eastland. (Both fine
Southerners,.you understand.)
As to your request for details following the issue of March
15th, I’m afraid there’s nothing to report except a half dozen
calls and the cancelled subscriptions. There were no threats
of violence or anything like that
Incidentally. Mr. Gross, I think it only fair to say a word
or two to you with reference to the NAACP. Believe me. I
hope this does not offend you. for such is not my purpose at .
all. But the fact is, had you sent me a check for five thousand
dollars and a contract for the publication of a book of my edi
torials with a fifty per-cent royalty guarantee. I'd have re

NATURAL GAS
flelps,put"^0^"inthe Jets!
The next time you see a jet streaking
through the sky, think of natural gas pouring
through those roaring engines.
Natural gas carries with it many liquid
hydrocarbons as it comes from the
well, and one of those liquids — kerosene —
Is the basic component of jet fuel.
United Gas alone produced more
than 187 million gallons of kerosene, natural
gasoline and similar products last year.
Natural gas is essential to aviation, and tcT]
many other industries. It is an
important factor in attracting industry
to this area. '
