NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. I'RO(-RES\' Oue hopeful note on life in the United States is the report from Tuskeegee Institute showing a decided drop in lynchings in 1943. Only three persons were murdered by mobs last year, compared with five in 1942, four in 1941 and five in 1940. That is a notable improvement. Tt is a national disgrace, of course, that any accused citizen was put to death without the benefit of a trial. Every thoughtful citizen must blush with shame for this vestige of barbarism at a time when we engaged in a world war for democracy and decency. Yet the record of last year indicates that some States are making encouraging progress in clearing their records of this blot On the face of the current report special con- gratulations are due to Mississippi, which has often in the past been foremost among the States in which lynchings occur. In 1942 Mississippi had three Iynchings in a week. In 1942 its slate remained clean. For that matter none of the St mob murders within their borders in 1942 is on the black list just issued. The offending States in 1942 were Florida, Geergia and Illinois. draw from this fact the hopeful deduction that the upon the lynching States last year law-enforcement officials are scorn heaped spurred their Washington Thomas MW" | mony was the best policy.

Detroit’s orgy of last summer cost the lives of more people than have been lynched in the South in several years. This and other outbreaks of racial feeling and the lynching in Illinois very strongly indicate that the problem of assuring protection tc min is moving northward. There is not much choice between mobs called lynchers and other mobs called rioters. And if any distinction is to be drawn between the sheriff who opens a jail to mobsters at pistol point and police squads who recklessly shoot down Negroes in the midst of general excitement, the latter seem to be the most culpable. In spite of the improved record of lynchings, many of our States in both the South and the North still a long way from handling the racial problem intelligently is, On the Spot (Cincinnati Enquirer) Bulgaria, one of the unhappiest of the dismal retinue of Axis European satellites, is becoming a current focal point of Allied power politics. history is repeating itself, almost literally have a grandstand seat for the spreading debacle on the threshold of Rumania. They are in the pathway of any Allied invasion through Asia Minor (with the prospect of becoming a battlefield like Italy.) Further- more, most of Bulgaria has been brought within the h of Allied air power—even bombers with fighter ort For the fifth time in two months a heavy formation of American Flying Fortresses bombed Sofia recently. The Bulgarian capital is now litile more than an hour’s flying time from the new Allied air bases along the heel of the Italian ot. As these bases are improved and anded, it is logical to expect, that there will be an increasing use of Allied air power against Balkan targets—and Sofia is a prin target, not only for political but military reasons. But for German pressure, Bulgaria doubtless would already be moving out of the war. However, we may be sure that the Gestapo and the German Army | have taken all possible steps to safeguard against such | a contingency. But hecause of the need for such | care, Bulgaria has become almost as much of a| liability as an asset to the Axis cause.
