I'.'-kY V / 1 I , ><*• SEVEN STARTLING MONTHS As Congress recesses for the longest shutdown since H itler’s legions crossed the Polish border six years ago, and the Churchill government falls in Britain, it is a time for stock-taking. An incredible seven- months has come and gone. The star of Russia is bright in ascendancy over a confused, w ar-torn, disillusioned Europe. But as the star of Russia glitters and Fance and England move “leftish,” the Ameri can system again has revealed its astounding versatility. The power of the Congress, direct representative of a free people reach a new height these last seven months. I t s ; trem endous strength as the balance wheel in our form of governm ent was never more vividly demonstrated. History cannot fail to rank the first seven months of 1945 as an “era” drenched w ith the dramatic, hardly equalled in recorded time. The “era” began as the 78th Congress convened and Franklin D.

'H E LP TO AV O ID IN F L A CHURCH DIRECTORY ED I T OR I AL (Continued from page 1) has dared more than any other paper in recent months. It shows very plainly w hat the general trend of thought and feeling tow ard the Negro in this area is like. Yet, we know churches and their pastors in Portland who w ant their names and their doings in this race-baiting paper so badly that they pay for space in the Oregonian th at the Negro press has offered them free. (It would interest us very much to know w hat these same people will have to say on the subject of this published insult to our race.) Coming so closely on the heels of a recent expose by the Inquirer of Harold Wendell and the Lipman Wolfe store (P.I. June 21) it becomes very clear th at it is not the little fellow or the newcomer alone among the w hite race in Portland that holds the Negroes in contempt, but the people who are ordinarily considered the city fathers. A daily newspaper is no little thing, it is big because it is a m oulder of public opinion. It creates the impressions and forms the ideas that go far toward making race relations b etter or worse. Newspapers are second only to the movies in spreading propaganda. For the Oregonian or any other daily new spaper to print such insulting pictures shows a p aten t disrespect for the Negro race in general and the local residents in particular.
