Doctor DuBois Acquitted A United States Federal. District Court, sitting in judgment of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois for "failing to register the Peace Information Center as a foreign agent," decided that there was no evidence which could be substantiated on which to base such a charge. Naturally we ore gratified over the decision and regret exceedingly that such a flimsy charge could ever be blown up to such proportions in America against 50 distinguished, a man indeed, America owes to Dr. DuBois, more than to any other living Negro American, a great debt of gratitude for his contributions to the spiritual and intellectual life of this nation. He is no ordinary student of human relations. The work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is strong today because of the pioneering leadership — intellectual and spiritual — given to it by DuBois. Race relations have advanced in the direction of brotherhood because of the work of Dr. DuBois. It is unfortunate, therefore, that after laboring so tang, so well in the cause or freedom and for a great America, we have citizens among us who are so fickle as to fall prey to such insiduous propaganda. The pattern for such nonsense, of course, heads up in what we Americans have sadly come to know as the Red Hunt. No opportunity should be lost in running down Communists in the Nation. But it is equally as important that the Government protect its honest and upright citizens from assassination by headline hunters. Dr. DuBois had no reason for being arraigned. We Endorse Principles, Not Party That we should not think of the 1952 presidential election merely as a political party or candidate affair, was sound advice coming from President Truman in his speech recently. The President intimated that too often we forget the real issue in a political campaign and direct our attention to "party" and "candidates." It should strike us with force, an impelling force, the undesirable and regretable "race-friction" propaganda being hurled into the airlanes these days by members of both the Democratic and Republican Party. If we were to make our choice by party affiliation we can's help but recall that it is the Democratic party that has done so many things to keep us below the full status of citizenship; or that it is the Republican party who helped-these Democrats keep us from making civil rights in the government a practice, instead of a theory. Or, we can say that Roosevelt was a Democrat and so is Truman, and these two have done more to promote improvement in our general welfare than any body; and that Lincoln was a Republican; so was Willkie and others who have contributed to the type of public service we admire. If we are to choose by party, we would be so mixed up as to which party to choose we probably would end up choosing the wrong party. The issues in this coming election extend beyond the scope of political party label. History tells us that religion and race, when issues in a natianal election, have been the most upsetting factors in our nationol life. The only times that the south has revolted from the ranks of the Democratic Party were in 1928, when they bolted against Al Smith because he was a Catholic and in 1948 when the Truman civil right proposals were included in the Democratic platform. Foreign policy, taxation, farm stabilization, and the many other issues that play a part in party political maneuvering does not hinder or help the election of a party candidate as does the racial or religious issues. Since we ore main per se in one of these issues, our objective in the coming election should be to choose the candidate whose reputation and concern bespeaks consideration for our general welfare. The history of party makes no difference, since both parties have been in our corner, as well as, our foe. Let us look to the future with a new insight of political affiliation. Our vote is the only bargaining power we have to accomplish those advantages and guarantees of rights in this commonwealth. We owe that vote to nobody but the future, our future in America. Our full objective is to guarantee as far as possible, by our action now, that our posterity will be enhanced by the process of government — not by men, and not by parties. We should have come to know and realize that, although we cannot change our present form of government, nor doe sit seem likely that we can get our just deserts through its present mode of operation, we can change the ways and means by which we can get justice in this form, of government. That method is undisputably one that impels us to against those who talk and act against us and to vote for those who are inclined to want to give us justice, just as long as they contend for justice for all the people of this nation irrespective of color. We, too, must cast aside our tradition and expediency, in voting, and vote our sincere convictions — for complete justice and freedom. Gov. Browning farther stated that the Legislature's appropriation for the school's budgcet merely provided an avenue of expression of the real school, "born in the hearts of people who have interpreted what was in the hearts of other people." Dr. Davis, in responding to Governor Browning's speech, praised him as "a great governor" and said that the state's Chief Executive's struggle to elevate the college to University status is merely one phase ot his liberal program of progress including betterment of economic, and social conditions of the populace. State education officials praised Dr. Davis for his ability to, carry the school from a moderate college to a higher level of a University J. A. Barksdale. State Commissioner of Education, said: "It is with pleasure that we mark the turning point Of A. and I. from a college into a fuller, more enriching status of a University."

Williams, Owner HEADLINES & BYLINES BY SILAS P. WASHINGTON An example of the good will we had in mind in last week's article Was supplied in Harry Ashmore, executive editor of the Little Rock (Arkansas) Gazette, at the annua Southern Governors Conference at Hot Springs. Mr. Ashmore said "All too of ten, seregation has meant denial of essential human dignity to members of the Negro minority. We cannot continue to turn our backs upon justice simply, because a black man is its victim nor can we fine a safe retreat in the sort of legalistic buck-passing that recognizes the existence of an evil but insists that it is somebody else's responsibility." Though the applause was decorous," as Thomas L. Stokes reported (the governors of Mississippi, Texas and one other state abstaining completely), the indictment is bound to have had its effect. That such a spirit in time will sweep the whole south-land is inevitable and inherent in our form of government. Also, The Memphis World says editorially on November 16; "Arkansas led by its liberal Governor Sid McMath, is in the vanguard of southern states seeking a more equitable and peaceful solution of the white-Negro relationship. It was the first and only southern state to voluntarily, without a court fight, open its doors of higher edu cational institutions to Negroes. Negroes and whites vote together without indictment and with mutual acceptance." Such good will is obviously stronger than fight, and it should, for that reason, be cultivated. Again. Thomas L. Stokes, writing from Washington for Scripps-Howand says; "There is a buoyant new generation in the South that knows only the South and it sees that all about it. The yonger generation which exuberantly waves Confederates flags at college football celebrations, also rises up against its elders and welcomes Negro students among it to break down old barriers." This is another illsusration of the kind of good will, we had in mind It may be clarifying to mention in this connection that Mr. Stokes is a native, hut liberal-and -transplanted, Southerner. Consequently, he should have a pretty good idea of the situation. Besides, he has only recently returned from the Southarn Governors Conference at Hot Springs and is, therefore, fresh from a great and varied exchange of ideas. Good will, like anything else, must be mutual to be effective Fortunately, an example, rather than a need for it (that is the other side of it), appeared in Bibb's column of the Pittsburgh Courier for November 17. "Then, too, colored people are too insecure economically, to play cooky and independent, The job opportunities are too few and in too much of an experimental state for them to destroy good will and alienate friends. There you have it. And, brother, it is real and don't you forget it! Think it over! THE HEALTH FORUM WORLD By R. EARL BLAND, M. D. Approximately 9,200,000 persons in the United States have cardiovascular disease. The majority suffer from heart disorders and the remainder from high blood pressure or kidney ailments. It is from and children that the grim reaper took 721,000 lives in 1949. This is 51 per cent of all deaths. Hypertension and arteriosclerosis account for 89 per cent of these cases. Many were oldsters who had come to the end of their days and had succumbed to wear and tear. In this respect the picture is not as alarming as it appears on the surface, but the medicall professsion does not regard this as anexcuse; they realize that more must be done if our life expectancy is to lengthen. This means the institution of preventive measured as well as better treatments for heart trouble. Prevention has gone beyond the stage of wishful thinking. Progress has been made in lessening the incidence of rheumatie and syphil litic heart disease. We also know why some children come into the world with defective pumping apparatus which suggests ways to avert the mishap in future generations, but such cases account for only a fraction of the cardiovascular deaths. Arteriosclerosis and arteriosclerotic heart conditions occasion more fatalities than any other malady; a most 300.000 deaths annually are traceable to this source. Prevention is more difficult here because we must return to arteriosclerosis as the basic cause in 97 percent of these cases. It produces gardening and thickening of the inner wall of the coronary arterles and the narrowing that ensues reduces the circulation to the cardiae muscle and impairs the efficiency of the pump. Slight curtailment brings on chest pain on walking (agina pectoris). A sudden blockage of the artery (coronary thrombosis) results in a heart attack, the seriousness of which depends upon whether a small branch or the main trunk is involved. Arteriosclerosis is not controlable at the present time, although research centers about the role played by fat and cholesterol in the diet and on the stress also fosters arteriosclerosis. Herein lie two potential trouble makers that can be avoided. Many remedies are being used in the treatment of coronary disease. The most controversial at the moment are the drugs that discourage blood form clotting immediately after an attack of coronary thrombosis—-they ward off extension of the clot to other vessels. If the products are continued there is a chance that future attacks will be fore-stalled. W. N. Writes; What treatment is given for leukemia?
