And this independence is the cause
for great alarm among those re-

to segregate colored girls in a spe-

Lyles,
Famous Comedian
Dies In Hospital

NEW YORK-Aubrey Lyles, ia
nous partner of the famous comedy
team of Miller and Lyles, died Thurs
day night in the sanitarium of Wylie
Wilson following an operation. AL
though he had been a patient for
three weeks, and sick for two
months, announcement of his death
came as shock to his closest friends.
Like many Negro celebrities, death
took Lyles at comparatively early
age, forty-nine years. Florence Mills
died after an operation at the age
of 80. Tiger Flowers was only thir-
ty when he succumbed to the effects
of a minor operation. Bert Will
liams, most famous of all comedians,
lived to be only 46 and Charles Gil
pin, who pioneered for the Negro
in drama, passed away at the age
of SO.
A Veteran Performer
However, Lyles was veteran of
the footlights with more than 25
years professional experience to his
credit. He was born in Jackson,
Miss, but reared in Indianapolis,
Ind, from which city he later found
his way to Chicago, where he met his
lifelong friend and partner, Flournoy
Miller, a callow youth out of Fisk
University.
Twenty-Five years ago, the two
young men discovered that they
could be funny in earnest and the
foundation for the comedy team that
was later to win worldwide renown
was laid and exposed at the old
Pekin Theatre, where Gilpin, Clar-
ence Muse, Abbie Mitchell and many
other stage stars found their talent
encouraged.
The first public act of Miller and
Lyles was entitled BLESSED With Ig-
norance." It was performed in the
Pekin and made an instant hit.

Georgia White
Woman SaysShe
Will Vote Red

NEW YORK. - Grace Lumpkin,
Georgia-born white woman, and au-
thor of forthcoming novel, ITO
Make My Bread" made it known
this week that she will vote the
Communist ticket because she be-
heves it to be the party of the work
er, be he white or black.
She says: an the south we are
waking up to the fact that the Ne
gro steel-worker in Alabama, the Ne
gro and white share-croppers and
small farmers, the white factory
workers in North Carolina - have
the same interests, the same prob
lens, the same masters. Through
misery and unemployment and wage
cuts, we are learning, gradually,
that we can rely only upon ourselves
to shorten our hours of work, raise
our wages, protect ourselves from
unemployment, and make living
from our small farms.
81 have learned from my expert
ence in the south that the Commu-
mist party is the only party that
is wholly and completely for the
workers. 1t is the only party that
gives US any hope, that stands COM
pletely for equal rights for Negroes
and whites. And this last is not
an idealistic dream. The Commu-
mist party knows that only through
equal freedom of Negro and white
workers can any sort of freedom for
all workers come to pass. The white
worker needs the Negro just as the
Negro needs the white.
1.-THE Communist party tells US to
become class-eonscious. This is a
fine word, and has fine meaning
To become conscious of my class.
To know where l belong, not with
those who have brought this world
to it's present state of chaos and
misery, but with those who are work
ing for a world in which each viii
have a share of the good things of
life.
"When | vote Communist in the
next elections, for Foster and Ford,
will be doing a thing that is SEN
sible and natural. For who does not
want, both for himself and others, a
share of the good things of life, and
time in which to enjoy them?"

Long Keeps Busy.
Senator Long OF Louisiana, though
not up for election himself this year
having just begun six-year term in
the Senate-has kept in fighting trim
this Summer by taking hand in other
political battles in the South. Shortly
after the Democratic convention at
Chicago. where he was in the forefront
of the Roosevelt forces. he went down
to Arkansas and campaigned vigorously
in support of the denomination OF Mrs.
Hattie w. CaraWay. the only woman
member of the Senate and the first TO
be elected to that Office. Mrs. Caraway
won a decisive victory over six mascu-
line opponents in the Democratic pri-
mary, and in Arkansas the nomination
is equivalent to election.
Next came the Democratic primary
in Louisiana. in which the veteran
Senator Edwin S. Broussard of that
State was battling for denomination
against Representative John H. Over
ton Long threw his support to
Overton. who was nominated. Overton
is serving his first term in the House.
