Evolution Theory Backfires
THOSE WHO advocate social evolution as
the only certain cure for racial discrimina-
tion would do well to consider the Ingrams
case and ask themselves just how many mil-
leniums will be required for such gross in-
Justice to 'evolve" into justice.
The eyes of the Goddess of Justice are
traditionally blind: blind to the religion of
the defendant, to his race, to his creed-
to any and all of his characteristics or
idiosyncrasies that do not bear directly on
the offense with which he is charged. The
eyes of the Georgia court that condemned
Rosa Lee Ingram and her teen-aged sons
to death were wide open, and they were
jaundiced.
What they saw, in the persons of three
terrified Negroes, was a threat to the South-
ern Holy of Holies: white supremacy. They
saw the Negro demanding and fighting for
his rights as a human being. They saw him
striking back instead of cringing and whin-
ing as a well trained Southern Negro is ex-
pected to do. They saw him in the future
:ompeting with the whites on an equal basis.
the court was furious and frightened by
what it saw, and it issued the only verdict
possible-"guilty of murder in the first de-
gree."
Here are the facts of the case: Mrs. Rosa
Lee Ingram, a widowed mother of 12 chil-

dren, entered a white farmer's field with two
sons to retrieve straying livestock. The own-
er of the field ordered her to round up the
cattle and leave immediately. Then he left,
threatening to come back and drive her out.
He returned carrying a gun and when he saw
that the Ingrams had not succeeded in run-
ning the cattle out of the field he fell upon
Mrs. Igram, struck her, and raised his gun as
if to shoot. At this point Mrs. Ingram made
a mistake.
Instead of grovelling and begging for mer-
cy she attempted to seize the gun. The far-
mer's reaction was to beat her across the
face with the handle of a knife that he held
in his other hand. This, according to the
Southern evoluation of Negro courage,
should have been the cue to send the sons
running for cover. Instead they rushed in to
defend their mother. In the ensuing melee
the farmer was struck a fatal blow.
The Ingrams were then taken to jail,
subjected to third degree treatment and
given no legal counsel. Four days after
being indicted for first degree murder they
were convicted by an all white jury and
sentenced to death.
This is the sort of thing that is to be ir-
radicated by the slow process of social evolu-
tion. This is the sort of thing that it is use-
less to legislate against. If racial discrimina-
tion were only a matter of segregation and
personal prejudice, perhaps we could wait
for evolution. But when it is the cause of
such outrageous violations of justice as oc-
curred in the Ingrams case it must be dealt
with by the law-and it must be dealt with
finally and unconditionally !

Remember the Aim
THE ACADEMIC freedom rally committee
must not overlook the actions of our erst-
while ally, China, in its protest against
abridgement of Academic Freedom abroad.
Students at the Tung Chi University, Hong
Kong, were fired on by Chinese police on
Jan. 29. Two students were arrested later
released, arrested again, and have since dis-
appeared. 400 were expelled from school. The
students were holding a rally very similar to
the one staged by Czech students. It was a
protest against government actions.
What the Freedom Rally must show is
that, unlike MYDA, the liberal groups on
this campus are ready to defend the right of
any group of students to speak, whether or
not they agree with our own political be-
liefs.
There is a rumor on campus that the rally
leaders are side stepping the issue of Aca-
demic Freedom in favor of an attack on the
Czech government. If so, the Rally will have
become much as MYDA is, a front group-
for groups with a personal animosity to-
wards the Czech government.
The rally is an attempt to protest to the
Czech government-to persuade that govern-
ment to return to a traditional interpretation
of the right of students to speak as they
please, as it was laid down by Thomas Mas-
aryk the Czech president. That end will not
be attained by attacks on the government
with which we are negotiating.
This rally is an expression of the natural
ire of students against attacks on their own
group. It must remain above the irrational-
ities of smear and counter-smear. It must
concern itself with the rights of students in
China, Czechoslovakia, or the United States
and not with the government of any coun-
try.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Strange Crisis
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
IT SEEMED TO ME, during a Washington
visit directly following the President's
speech, that most of the Congressmen and
others I ran into did not really feel as if they
were in a crisis. They seemed to feel more as
if they were watching one. "The President
may have information we don't have," said
one Senator, "but I don't see what makes
this the critical week, any more than six
months ago." "Everybody agreed there must
be a crisis of some sort on, but they spoke of
it with an odd little air of detachment; there
was not that haunted look, that broken-bar-
rier togetherness you get when crisis knocks
unmistakably on the door.
More than one used the same words:
"What does he know that he isn't telling?"
There was a feeling that there must be more
than was visible to account for the alarm.
Most thought the coming Italian elections
explained the timing of the crisis, if you can
put it so, but one Congressman wondered
how those elections could be affected by a
selective service program that couldn't start
until they were over.
And it seems to me that a certain cycli-
cal effect is in operation. The President
asks, as he did a year ago, for defensive
measures against a certain menace. Then
he has to emphasize the mnace sharply to
get the measures. This does not improve
international relations very much, the
menace gets to look bigger, and by this
time you need even stronger defensive
measures. But you don't get those without
more excitement about the menace.
You will remember how the Marshall Plan
started life last June purely as a scheme for
European reconstruction, which Russia was
even invited to join. You, will also remember
how, a little later, after the bitter initial
Russian reaction, the Plan began to be sold
as a stop-Russia measure. By last fall cer-
tain columnists, such as Mr. Walter Lipp-
mann, were concerned over this develop-
ment. They pointed out how the Marshall
Plan, as a reconstruction device, depended
on a restoration of trade between Western
and Eastern Europe, that this was its statis-
tical base, that to make the plan entirely in-
to a stop-Russia device was contradictory.
The result is we've whipped up support
for the Plan on a basis that makes it hard
for it to succeed. In much the same way,
think, bipartisan support for our foreign
policy has been obtained largely at the price
of making that policy tougher and tougher,
until we've reached the point where it isn't
so much policy as pressure, and where the
original goal of bipartisanship, the hope of
making U.N. work, looks rather dim. Part of
the difficulties of the present moment, it
seems to me, flow from the very nature of
the relations between the executive and the
legislature, and, without malevolence or de-
sign on anyone's part, from the fact that it
seems easier to move Congress into action
with stop-Russia talk than to exalt it on the
basis of an abstruse reconstruction diagram.
But, it will be asked: "Isn't Russia a men-
ace? Wouldn't a change of line, a request
for a conference, be appeasement?" It is not
at all certain that it would be, Russia's west-
ward drive is a menace, and has reached a
critical stage, and Communism has been in-
flicted by minorities on majorities which
didn't want it, and, as in Czechoslovakia,
were living very successfully without it. But
is it appeasement to stand up as the defend-
er of the world's peace, to put the onus on
the other side for turning down reasonable
proposals? Remember that the Russians
make a sword of the cry for peace; they use
it effectively against us, and not because they
are appeasing us; it is because it helps them
in their business to paint us as the war-want-
ers.
An American demand for an emergency
conference would have a distinct effect, in
Italy and elsewhere, and could, of course,
be mounted more quickly than selective
service, or any other proposed solution.
And it would clear the air and the record
and show the world what each side stands
for, and enable us to press our program for
stability without running the bizarre
danger of throwing it away as the price
for getting it.

Looking Back
From the pages of The Daily
30 YEARS AGO TODAY
The world was startled by the announce-
ment that the Germans were shelling Paris
from a distance of 74.5 miles. University
ballistic experts said that they doubted the
existence of a gun large enough to have
such a range, but reports indicated that the
shells had not been dropped from aircraft.
15 YEARS AGO TODAY:
Adolph Hitler was given power to govern
by decree as members of the Reichstag beat
down Socialist opposition to the measure,
441 to 94. Addressing the Riechstag after
the vote, Hitler said, "We desire to live
at peace with all nations, but only on a
basis of equality."
5 YEARS AGO TODAY:
The British Eighth army smashed through
the Mareth line, while American troops
drove beyond Maknassy toward the sea.

Road to Fascism
A FEW WEEKS ago an American was sent-
enced to two to six years in prison.
There are people in America today who
think he was unjustly convicted and un-
justly sentenced. This is why:
Harold Christoffel, honorary president of
Local 248, UAW-CIO, was convicted of per-
Jury when he denied that he was a Commun-
ist during committee hearings on the Taft-
Hartley bill. This conviction was the climax
in a long battle between the Allis-Chalmer
plant and Local 248 which Christoffel led
from its inception in 1937.
After the war years, in 1946, the company
declared war on the union. The workers
struck for 11 months.
In the course of the strike, the Taft-Hart-
ley forces in Congress used it as an argument
for enactment of the law. Harold Story, vice-
president of the company, appeared before
the House Labor Committee in February.
1947, as a friendly witness to testify in be-
half of the Taft-Hartley bill.
An opportunity for the strike and union
leaders to reply was granted only after the
congressional committee had won House
authorization for the power to administer
oaths to witnesses. Therefore, whereas all of
the company's testimony was unsworn and
thus not subject to charges of perjury, the
union's testimony was under oath.
Christoffel was subsequently indicted af-
ter a group of anti-union witnesses had
been given a chance to parade before a
federal grand jury in Washington D.C.
What kind of eqdal justice for all is this?
Today a courageous man, O. John Rogge,
vice-president of the National Lawyers Guild
and former assistant United States Attorney
General, is touring the country in an effort
to raise funds to take the case of Harold
Christoffel to a higher court where justice
will be done.
'If our efforts should fail," Rogge stated,
"other labor leaders may expect to be
singled out for similar treatment. When
we have reached that point we will be well
along the road to fascism and the destruc-
tion of our democracy."
If their efforts should fail, what will be
left of the democratic justice of which Am-
ericans are so proud? What will be left of
the rights of the individual in a government
based upon those rights? What will left of
liberty in a country which believes it to be
an 'inalienable right'?

"Save the Ingrams" days have
been proclaimed throughout the
country by the National Associa-
tion of the Advancement of Col-
ored People and will be held in
Ann Arbor on Thursday, March
25. Money is badly needed not
only to appeal the case but to
save the Ingram family, which
consists of 12 children, from des-
titution, especially since the farm-
er has confiscated nearly all of her
property.
No American person who be-
lieves in the cause of justice and
in civil liberties can, with a clear
conscience, refuse to give to aid
the Ingrams. The federal govern-
ment has proclaimed that the case
must go through the state courts
and that they can do nothing to
secure a mixed jury, to give gov-
ernment protection to defense
witnesses, or to aid the Ingram
children.
Money can talk. We hope to
make it talk and make Ann Ar-
bor's contribution the largest in
the country. I urge each and every
student to give, and give gen-
erously, to save the Ingrams, and
to attend the rally Thursday
night.

Points Out
To the Editor:
1. Has Mr. B. Strickland Du-
rant ever heard of the ''Inner
Proletariat"?
2. A careful perusal of "The
Daily" shows that in sponsoring
a rally to protest the abrogation
of academic freedom by the Com-
munists in Czechoslovakia, SLID
has the support of AVC, UWF,
and other groups, but NOT of
MYDA, and, significantly, not of
IRA.

A VC Clarification
To the Editor:
W E OF THE AVC Executive
Board wish to correct a mis-
leading and erroneous impression
created in your headline of an
article datod March 17, 1948, say-
ing, "AVC To Join Czech Protest."
The membership at that meet-
ing voted simply to participate in
an educational rally for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the facts. In
line with that resolution, AVC
urges that everyone attend the
rally.
