DISCRIMINATION
TO NEGROES IN
MISSOURI RIFE
NegroCh ildrenRefused
School Facilities
(Crusader Netos Service)

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22.-"M Missouri is
guilty of great discrimination and
segregation of Negroes in the edu-
cational system of that state" de-
clared N. B. Young, inspector in the
Negro schools of Missouri, although
Negro children have as great claim
upon Missouri as have the white
children"
During recent survey Of Negro
education in the state of Missouri he
encountered situations in one school
district that are typical of all other
districts in the state. In response to
a call from this district, he visited
it and found that there had been no
public school for Negro children
there for a great many years, altho
there had been more than enough
Negro children there, under the law.
Yet, regardless of the law, school
was denied them because the white
residents of the district refused to
recognize the erection of the build
ing.
Whites Refuse Negro School.
The conference with the white
members of the board brot out the
Liberal" opinion that it would be a
simpler solution of the situation for
the Negro families to move to dis
trict where school facilities are al
ready provided for Negroes than for
the white people in the district to
impose additional taxes upon them
selves, especially since the Negroes
are not freeholders.
! Law"
1t therefore happens that in that
district, as in many others, the Negro
children are denied free school op-
portunicies, although this is in viola
ton of the law. In this and other
instances the whites are willing to
lose the funds forfeitable by non
compliance with the law. They re-
gard such loss as real gain, since
they derive great satisfaction from
the fact that they prevent the Negro
from securing an education. Due to
race hatred, discrimination and Sc
gregation, a group of Negro chill
dren is literally growing up in ignor-
ance in Missouri, and there are hun
dreds and thousands in the same
situation.
To make the racial discrimination
OF the case more emphatic, it is re-
ported that in an adjoining district,
school has been maintained each
year for a single student, white
boy.

A strong earthquake lasting three
minutes shook Citta Di CASTILLO to-

Women Fascist SUPPORT 1aA War Program Backing Billion Dollar Nau
BRITISH GATHER
ARMY AGAINST
DESERT ARABS
Iraq Cabinet Resigns;
Demand Withdrawal

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The killing
of the American missionary Henry
A. Bilkert, on the Iraq border by
division of the Wahabi tribes known
as the Ikn Wan, has offered Britain
the much desired opportunity to
make use of the tanks, airplanes
and military forces massed ON the
frontier to attempt to force Ibn
Saud, independent king of Arabia,
to come to terms.
All available armored cars have
already been sent to the desert sta
ton of the British Royal Air Force
at Shaibah, near the Arabian
frontier, presumably to hunt for the
tribesmen involved in the attack up
on the missionary, but more speci-
fically to help the insurgent section
of the Wahabis against Ibn Saud.
The latter recently succeeded in put
ting down a similar revolt with the
coordination of his chieftains. Brit
ish planes are already securing
Arabian territory.
Iraq, over which Britain has
mandate, is pushing ahead for in
dependence, and a crisis was created
yesterday when the cabinet re-
signed, refusing to accept the
British demand that British force
should remain in Iraq for further
unspecified time, that Iraq should
pay the cost for the maintenance of
the British forces and that appoint
ments to the higher command should
be subject to British approval. At
the same time demonstrations
against British rule have taken
place.
Up to this date the British forces
have served two functions: one,
maintaining British dominance over
Iraq; and, two, supporting tribes in
Arabia in a revolt against the king
Ibn Saud, who has thus far resisted
every attempt of British imperialism
to subjugate the country.
Despite a treaty signed between
Iraq and Britain in London in 1927
recognizing Iraq as an independent
sovereign state" British troops and
ornaments dominate the country.
The chief reason Of course is that
the Anglo-Persian oil company,
British controlled, owns the Mosul
oil fields in Iraq, and the oil supply
must be guaranteed for British inn
perialism.
The Ikn Wan scouts, who are al
legged to have killed the American,
are known to be those involved in
the revolt against Ibn Saud.

from the Yakutia district and
claimed to have penetrated the ice
bound fastness of the vanished col
ony. He told of a people speaking
old Russian, totally unaware of any
thing that has taken place in the
world since the 10th century and
scarcely aware Of the existence of
other humans.
About 200.
Then recently a Yakut named
Arosin came from the Siberian ice
wilderness with a story Of a Rus
sian tribe near the mouth of the
1ndigir River, where it breaks into
the north Polar Sea. He said the
tribe lived clean, moral and re.
ligious life and his report agreed
with Zinzonoff's story.
Arosin said the colony contained
about 200 persons, and scientists as
serted that it was probable the or
iginal settlers had diminished to
that number because of long sepa-
ration from the world. Apparently,
the colony is nearing extinction and
for that reason the Chirikhin expedi-
ton rushed its preparations.
Old Political Refugees.
The journey to Indigir is difficult
and the rest Of the 1,000-mile trip
along the river will present great
obstacles, scientists agree.
The fact that great numbers OF
Russians fled to the inaccessible
portions of Siberia in the 10th GEN.
fury to escape political persecution
has strengthened the theory of scien-
lists supporting the expedition and
they believe it is probable that the
"lost colony" is one such group OF
refugees.

Watson Bill Pass

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Pro-
ponents of the Watson bill providing
for federal regulation of the bitumin-
Gus coal industry started laying their
case before the senate interstate
commerce committee today.
Henry Warrum, attorney for the
United Mine Workers of America,
the Lewis company union, who help
ed draft the bill admitted weaknesses
in the proposed legislation but said
sit would be long step in the right
direction"
The bill makes strikes practically
difficult and allows owners to legally
form trusts and monopolies with
which to crush labor.

President-elect Hoover on this trip
from Washington to Miami, Florida.
A pilot train ran twenty minutes
ahead of the Atlantic Coast Line
special On which Mr.. Hoover rode,
and follow-up train thirty minutes
behind. No trains were permitted
between.
No freight train was allowed to
move on any division while the
special train was crossing it. Even
north-bound passenger trains were
required to stop at the approach of
the pilot train and remain standing
until the follow-up train has passed.
All kinds of special crews and equip
ment are provided.
Hides Behind Women.
Every switch was spiked down so
thoroughly that two men working
with crew-bars would be unable to
dislocate it. Special wrecking appa-
ratus would be necessary to pry such
a switch loose.
Hoover arrived at Miami at 9 p.
m. today, and held a parade thru the
city with bombs being set off in the
side streets, to make noise like the
presidential salute, and the w. c..
7. U. accompanying him.
