taken by congress passing the thir-
teenth amendment. For many years
the colored people have annually eel
ebrated their freedom.
The program planned for Satur-
day is under the direction of James
L. Davis, and will be open to all col
ored people of the city. The mem
bership drive, which has occupied
the attention of the organization dur
ing June will close and a junior
branch will be organized at the meet
ing. The junior committee is head
ed by Betty Vann A program Of
sports will be given, features being
planned for men, women and chill
dren. The merchants of the city

for the events.
Barbecued beef, pork and chicken,
together with ice cream and iced
watermelons, will be served. Favors
of the N. A. A. c. P. balloons will
be given.

No Radical Steps Planned
Mr.. Mellon assured Mr.. Wheeler
that no radical steps would be taken

"The government has warned its

The secretary took the view that
the government cannot overlook the
