TLANTA FEARS
ACUTE RACIAL
CRISIS is NEAR
Many Sober Minded Citi-

This is one Of a series Of articles on
the racial problem in the old south.

United Press STAFF Correspondent

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 26.-There

Only few weeks ago, it generally

Today the same elements which

one of the best informed students
pf the situation.

Rumblings for Months
For several months there have
been rumblings in and around At
lanta.
Then seven men beat to death the
8son of a Negro minister, accusing
him of having insulted a white
woman. Six of the seven were ar
lrested. Two days later the home of
sthe dead Negroes father was
burned.
1t became an open secret that
many citizens, at that juncture, be-
gan oiling their guns.
One of the six men was brought
ito trial in courtroom where one
half of the spectators section was
allotted to whites and one-half to
Negroes. The case went to the jury
on saturday. The town was full
of idle men, some out of work. some
enjoying their Saturday holiday.
Spent Weary Night
Just how many of those idle men
we're armed and ready for trouble
never will be known, but it is a
fact that Atlanta spent an uneasy
night. Police made ready for any
eventuality. Literally, hundreds of
more law-abiding citizens. refused
TO leave their homes homes.
BY - o. m. streets ordinarily
crowded on a Saturday night, were
near deserted, while others we're
given over TO groups of sullen men
which police did their best to dis
perse quietly. Negroes remained
within their houses and shacks in
the sections of town allotted to
them.
But by Monday the temper of the
city had cooled an dit was then,
8aRd only then, that the court per-
omitted The jurys verdict in the
murder case to be unsealed and
read. It was a verdict of guilty.
Appeals TO Public

c. Everett Millican, acting mayor,
felt the situation so acute as to re-

the citizenry to "set their faces

DO NOT OVERLOOK THE, KEYWORKERS

The excitement in the police de. partment of the city Regarding the spacious interest taken in tn> unem- ployed by the Communists WHO have been operating hereabouts is easily understood. We would not decrease this professional excitement in the doings of folks the police do not like.
 But we wish to remind the police that there is other work to perform which has not yet been done to the satisfaction of the public. That job is to come up with the key workers who have been busy in this city for the past few weeks.
 Arrests and convictions of these crooks may be more difficult than chasing Communists, but it would be a popular achievement.

DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT TO A CRITICAL PUBLIC

Dismissal of James & Peck, farm superintendent of the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden by the board of trustees leaves a sour taste in the mouths of Onlookers. MT. Peck's protest to the State Board of Public Welfare regarding alleged conditions at the school and the brutality practiced brought on the present investigation by a special commission appointed by the Gov ernor. One would think man who thus paved the way for clarifica- tion of the alleged evil conditions a. the school would be better treated.
 The conclusion is inevitable that the trustees are irritated at the disclosures which have come in such startling fashion the past month. Such action by the trustees does not enhance public confidence in their methods.

THEY BELIEVED IN UNION
 THERE Is STRENGTH

It is stated by officials of the Women's Christian Temperance Union that the current drive by anti prohibitionist forces against the 18th amendment and the Nolstead Act has resulted in swelling the mem bership of the dry organization. which Is celebrating an anniversary.
 It is pointed out also that the antiprohibition organizations, espe- cially those appealing to women, do not require the payment of dues. while the w. C. T. [. requires dues be paid.
 The situation, therefore, ten years after prohibition became a noble ex- pertinent, is favoring the continued activity of the dry organization. The work to be done now, according to the leaders, is quite important. Ground won has to be conserved.
 The wet forces of the United States did not realize early enough that in union there is strength. While the W. C. T. L. was inf oper- alton for decades the vet forces did not take it seriously. Most of the time they did not even take the Anti-Saloon League seriously. It was not until some years after pro- hibition was made a law that the vets realized there was value in organization. This belated rsaliza ., ton came after the dry orgyniza lions had won their victory largely as the result Of organization and pressure politics.
 Vets, no matter how they organ l2e, are confronted with the unfor- tunate fact that Is dry states call block repeal of the 18th amendment.

REV, H. ]. 0LNEY
 TAKES NEW PULPIT
Becomes Pastor of GraceChurch
 Being Organized

Rev. II. o. Olney, for some tune pastor of the Peoples Church or Christ on Court street, last evening terminated his connection with that institution and today began his new duties as pastor of the new Grace church, now in the process or formation.
 MT. Olney recently was granted leave of absence by the Peoples church, at which time it was tacitly understood that he would perma- nently sever his connections there. He has many friends in the new church and steps were taken at once to secure his services.
 He accepted the offer of the new congregation and now is pastor or Grace church.
 Although the new church has adopted it's article of faith and its congregation is holding regular meetings there still remains consid- erable work in the actual forma- ton of the formal organization. While generally believed to be non- denomination church, it was learned today that the congregation unanimously expects that the church eventually will be of the Baptist faith.

One of the functions of a primary campaign, 1t begins 10 appear, is 10 keep the aspirants for office fairly busy "spiking rumors." How fool ish rumors originate is one of the mysteries of campaigning. It is well, though, for candidates to take note of them instead of following a policy of dignified silence.

NOTHING YET STIRRING DESPITE PROF. LEVITT

When Professor Levitt made his address in New Britain he cited cer- tain facts regarding electric light and power rates and then suggested that if citizens of New Britain wish ed to go into the subject further they had right to demand a hear ing before the Public Utility Con- mission.
 As the professor at the same time gave it as his opinion that the chair man of the commission was retained in his position by MT. Roraback because of his attitude toward utili- ties-conforming to the Roraback standard-we doubted whether any, thing practical would come of a hearing. But at the same time we thought a hearing would provide due publicity regarding facts which would bring about a wider public knowledge of the power issue and which might indirectly create an improvement some time or some how.
 But no effort has been made to obtain hearing. Gentlemen in New Britain who invited Professor Levitt to speak here, and who indicated power situation, have made no fur ther moves.
 As usual, we are too conservative to do much about anything in par ticular.
