S. C. NEGROES TO ASK PARTY
SEATS
Negroes in at least two southern
states Friday expressed deterrtlina-
tion that the recent Supreme court
ruling giving negroes the right to
vote in democratic white primaries
shall not be ignored and indicated
the issue was far from closed.
A direct test of the decision was
expected to come in Mobile, Ala.,
where Alexander L. Herman, king of
the negro mardi gras in Mobile in
1941, said he would contest the re
fusal of a probate judge to grant
him an absentee ballot for the May
2 Alabama primary.
Herman said he had been advised
by attorneys to “keep quiet” about
the matter, but that he had refused
because his name was on he list of
qualified voters.
In Columbia, S. C., John H. Mc
Cray, negro chairman of the “Pro
gressive Democratic Party,” de
nounced the National Democratic
party as “just as responsible, if not
more so, than the state party for
the denial of negroes to member
ship, in that it tolerates discrimina
tion in the South.”
McCray said this party intends to
“’put the national Democratic con
vention on the spot” by requesting
that it seat a slate of negro dele
gates from South Carolina instead
of the regular white Democratic
party delegates."
“Since the white party has re
fused us membership, and has sug
gested that we form a negro party,”
McCray said, “we will ask for 42' or
43 per cent of the convention dele
gates sent to Chicago.”
If the request is refused, he said,
the negro party will attempt to fill
all South Carolina convention seats
on the basis that its membership
is open to all creeds and races.
He said negro delegates would be
instructed to support Mr. Roosevelt
or whomever he may endorse and
warned that the convention can
either accept the 18 South Carolina
votes as cast by negroes or possibly
lose the votes of negroes in key
northern cities.
“It is inconsistent,” he declared,
“that Gov. 04in Johnston and Sena
tor Smith speak of white supremacy
in Sotith Carolina, When they go
up north and collaborate with the
northern negroes in so far as the
Democratic party is concerned.”
Sandy took his sweetheart to a
charity bazaar. Presently they came
to a booth where an assortment of
lovely charms were offered for sale.
“Oh, Sandy,” she exclaimed, ‘buy
me a charm?”
“Ah, lassie,” he answered ad
miringly, “ye have too many charms
already.”—Christian Science Mon

TROTESTANT MINISTERIAL
SUPPLY CUT
Kansas City, Apr. 28—A recent
selective service ruling will cut off
supply of Protestant students for the
ministry, Dr. Samuel McRae Cavert
of New York said today, but will
not affect the Roman Catholic
hurch at all.
Doctor Cavert, executive secretary
of the Federal Council of Churches,
in an address to the quadriennial
Methodist general conference, said
that the order cancelled the defer
ments of all students for the min
istry except those in seminaries by
July 1.
He said that the effect of this
would be “to cancel the supply' of
Protestant students for the minis
try entirely, but not to affect the
supply of candidates for the Roman
Catholic priesthood.”
In the Catholic church, Doctor
Cavert said, students for the priest
hood will be in junior seminaries of
the church, and hence exempt,
Protestant students of the same age
will be in colleges, and hence will
be drafted.
Doctor Cavert said he did not
wish to imply that the selective
service meant to have the ruling
operate in this manner, but he said
a protest had been lodged asking
for a reconsideration.
DEATH OF KNOX BIG LOSS,
FDR STATES
Washington, Apr. 28—'President
Roosevelt said tonight the death of
Secretary of the Navy Knox is a
“heavy loss to us and to me especial
ly who had come to lean cn him in
creasingly.”
The President’s expression of re
gret was in a statement issued by
the White House. It said:
“I announce to the nation at war
the sudden passing of the secretary
of the Navy, Frank Knox. It is a
heavy loss to us and to me especially,
who had come to lean on him in
creasingly.
“He has done much for his coun
try; he has helped greatly in our
defense and in making victory cer
tain.
“Finally, I like to think of his
bigness and his loyalty. Truly he
put his country first. We shall
greatly miss his ability and his
friendship.”
The two girls were exchanging
confidence over the luncheon table.
“What did the Sergeant say when
you told him you’d be a sister to
him?” ,
“Why the rascal had the nerve to
ask me to lend him a dollar so he
could take another to a movie.”—

Never Too Early
Selection of a suitable cemetery Memorial need
not 'be left till you are gone. In a sense, it ia
your duty to provide a Memorial. That duty
should not be delegated to others. Purchasing
an appropriate monument before death is evi
dence of good judgement and a recognition of
