 His Statement

The democrats of the south are cnlinently able 10 make their own decisions without assistance or lcad- crship from anyone.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. "a. N. P.)-
With the announcement of names of
the six newly elected police officers
for Louisville, it was stated in one OF
the local papers that these Negro
policemen would be assigned to the
black belt, and that they would be
instructed not to arrest any white
people. The Louisville Times, white.
had the following to say in editorial
last week.
Unwise Limitation
A policeman, white or black, is a
policeman Just as a lawbreaker, white
or black, is lawbreaker.
To put a man in police uniform
and then tell him that he must draw
the color line in exercising the auth
ority vested in him as a policeman
is unwise and unfair.

In Treasury Dept.
To Ogden Mills

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Report of
a second call upon Ogden l.. Mills.
Under-Secretary OF the Treasury, to
protest against segregation of color
ed clerks in the Treasury Depart
ment is made to the N. A. A. c. p,
Dy Neval IA. Thomas, president of
the Washington Branch.
Mr.. Thomas states that a report
has been hastily gotten out" from
Ex-Governor Frank T. White, Treas
urer of the United States, stating
there was no segregation i'm his de-
partment, but that in an hour and
a half of plain talk, the delegation
made II clear to Mr.. Mills that IL
was generally understood segrega-
tion prevailed.
The delegation, according to Mr.
Thomas report. inquired of Mr..
Mills: "Mr Secretary, do you mean
10 say that there is no discrimina-
ticn here when out of this vast army
of $1,000 people not one directive
position is held by colored man or
woman save in the Jim Crow divi-
sion Of the office of the Register of
the Treasury"
Mr.. Mills is reported 20 have
promised at the conclusion of the
interview that he would investigate
the situation and inform the COM
mittee of the results of his investi-
cation.
1t is generally understood that
Cabinet Officers in Washington are
none too eager to have the segre-
cation issue raised in their depart
ments as its political possibilities in
the coming election are anything but
pleasant for the persons responsible.
