here Friday when he received
through the mails a bomb post
marked from Alabama.
Quick thinking and vigilance

Life in Danger
That Mr.. Leibowitz's life is in
constant danger as a result of
his defense of the Scottsboro
boys. has been known for some
time. The audience of 1900 at
Holy Trinity Baptist Church
which he told of the bomb Mon

to terror.
According to Mr.. Leibowitz,
his assistant dashed the package
down into a pail of water as
soon as he saw the postmark.
When 1t was opened 1t was found
to contain gunpowder and tim

Many Threats
Leibowitz has received many

told the Holy Trinity audience

influenced by threats of violence.
He will keep on going down

WHITE STUDENTS
J IN CROW
At TUSKEGEE ms.

NEW YORK-Calling on col
ored students to start an uncom-
primising fight against Jim Grow
practices at Tuskegee and some
other schools, white students re-
presenting every section of the
country passed a resolution call
ing for the abolition of Grow
education at its recent meeting
here.
A resolution, made public fol
lowing the regular session of the
conference and which was at
tended by more than a thousand
students, raped the Alabama in
stitution for tending to sanction
the policy of segregation on its
own campus.
Please Southern Whites
The resolution directed at Tus-
kegee was the result of a report
made by student delegate
which stated that it was the Gus
tom at this institution to house
visiting whites in Dorothy Hall
while visiting colored were hous-
ed at Rockefeller Hall.
The resolution not only raped
the practice but set forth that
the conference would support any
movement started by students to
eradicate any rules smacking of
segregation.
They declare that colored
schools. of all places, should be
the last to do anything which
encourages racial segregation.
They should make 1t point to
demonstrate to their visitors as
well as the students that segre-
CATION Is wrong in both, principle
and practice. and that 1t must
be wiped out. The time has
come, the conference students
themselves must register vigor-
Gus protests against such prac-
tees in schools.
Y.M.C.A. Color Bar
The Y.M.C.A. also came in for
sco1ching rebuke as a result
of barring colored youth from
its gym and swimming pool pri-
vileges. A resolution on this
question demanded that colored
students be admitted on the bas-
is of full equality in all Y.M.C.A.
organizations.

Prayers Not Needed

THE SUGGESTION is made
that the first Sunday in June be
designated as a day of prayer"
for the freedom of the SCOTS
boro boys. 1t is suggested that
every colored person and sympa-
thizer assemble in some church
at noon the first Sunday in June
and petition the Almighty for
the freedom of the nine Negro
youths now held in an Alabama
prison. This writer believes the
suggestion for a day of prayer"
to be the sheerest nonsense. Cold
blooded reason argues the lmpo-
tency of prayer as a means to-
ward an end, The Lindbergh
baby is proof of this, for when
world was bowed down in
prayer this poor little babes bo-
dy was out In the woods suffer
ing decomposition.
FOR OVER THREE HUMID
RED YEARS Negroes in these
United States have been on their
knees crying out against Unjust
ices. petitloning for the removal
OF barriers to full enjoyment of
our rights as citizens and i'm
plorlng God to tighten our bur-
den of sorrow. What have we
gained by this humble attitude?
We are treated with contempt
and scoTn. We are despised and
spat upon. Our brothers and sis
tiers are hunted like animals and
shot down like beasts. Our
daughters are rayished. Our
children are imprisoned and of
ten put to death. And still we
pray for the remedying of
wrongs.
LET US TAKE our heads out
of the sand, get up off our knees
and instead of Jumping and
shouting all day Sunday with no
place to go on Monday. dedicate
ourselves to the great task of Sc
curing for ourselves and child

rights and equal justice. Stop
duplicating. Let us fight for
the principles that will eleyate
us in a world of real men and

 Winnie -the-Pooh, as every small child in the English-speak- ing world knows, is the stout little teddy bear, trouble-jumping hero of Christopher Robins menagerie of toy animals. He was original ly called Edward Bear, but one day Christopher Robin went to the zoo and saw big growing live bear, whose name was Winnie.
 Bear of little brain," said Christopher, Your name, too, shall be Winnie."
 But, I'm a boy bear" said Winnie, land you have given me a girls name"
 "Weh, then I shall give you an- other name, too," said Christopher. "It shall be "Winnie-the- pooh" :" And so it was settled.

PLYMOUTH MAKES
 TWO NEW MOTORS
Chrysler Declares Public Wants Unusual Values
 To-day
NOW ON DISPLAY

The aggressive campaign of the Plymouth Motor corporation on its two new lines of motor cars started here to-day.
 The Plymouth corporation has done the unusual by announcing two new motor cars within q weeks period, and both cars, it was asserted, are being backed by an advertising and merchandising campaign.
 Announcement of the new Ply mouths followed the recent state- ment of Walter r. Chrysler that he felt that present conditions were opportune for the introduc- tion of new products, and that "the manufacturer who offers ur- usual values and aggressively places his products before the peo- pie, will be in position to realize the greatest sales" He further stated that "It is up to us as man. ufacturers-and it is up to our dealers-to show the public how much good sense there is in buying to-day. And it's up to buyers to look into what the dollar will buy to-day"
 The new Plymouths are now on display here at Dodge. DeSoto and Chrysler dealers. The new cars are the Deluxe Plymouth Six of 112-inch wheelbase, which is priced f. o. b. from $495, and the Standard Plymouth Six, 19S-inch wheelbase. priced f. 0. b. from $445.
 The new Standard Plymouth Six sedan, priced f. o. b. at $510, is stated to be the lowest priced six cylinder four-door sedan on the American motor car market.
 The Plymouth factory is work ing full speed on production of both new models.

10 years the cost of hauling freight has dropped 10 per cent. Speed of freight movement has moved up z per cent in 24 months. In three years, passenger rates have come down 12 per cent, despite declines in passenger traffic. Rail men are proud of their efforts at "ration alization."
 But standardization" the Dr Jek- yll of modern industry, brings with 1t its MT Hyde-unemployment. Wage slashes still leave the work CT in better financial position than he was 20 years ago-which isn't saying much-but employment slashes have no such dubious boast. To pare the labor costs of the country's rail service to the bone which is being done-means also to pad the country's roll of work CTS to an even greater degree. It is this spectre of standardization" which confronts labor spokesmen. here to deal with the rail problem. In whatever way the question of rail mployment--With all it's weight as national problem-is settled, and despite the antagonism of trucking, airline, waterway and pipeline interests, the ultimate basis of any plan for rejuvenation can hardly be anything less than "an integrated national transport system.
 Government Control
 Some solution of the employ ment difficulty may be reached by reduction of hours of work, Staggered" payrolls, lay-off with pension, and other devices. But the only alternative to general transport regulation, 1t is asserted here, would be direct governmental seizure of the railroads, which is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-27

| considered unlikely at this time, all though more than one highly placed expert on railroad affairs is a public-ownership man.
 Many authorities agree with the principle of general control: Among them is the National Transporta- tion committee. organized at the jn- stigation of holders of railroad se- curities, headed until his death by former President Coolidge.
 Its report stresses the principle that present methods of susidy, control, and supervision do not place transportation agencies on a plan of economic equality"
 The report makes a proposal for public ownership and operation of terminal facilities. At present, the competitive layout of railroads in terminal cities is one of the largest factors in cost of rail transporta- tion. it asserts, adding that through coordination annual savings run ming into scores of millions of dol lars would be possible"
 Blamcs Local Taxes
 The committee draws two other illustrating conclusions. One is that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-27

capitalization of the rails as a whole is not excessive; the other that state and local taxation, not fed eral, is the chief cause of the rail- roads distress.
 Meanwhile, labor spokesmen charge that 80 per cent of the eliminating unnecessary services, more efficient freight routing, joint use of terminals, and adjustment of freight rates would be made at workers expense. The so-called "Prince plan," formulated by F. H. Prince, Boston banker, which would force all railroads into seven regional systems, is attacked by la bor as an especially drasac scheme for reducing employment.
 One plan before the president sets not only rails, busses. trucks, pipelines, airlines and waterways, but also telegraph, telephones, cables and coastwise shipping un- der federal control. Another makes the interstate commerce commis- sion q division of the transporta- tion bureau which would control all the transport methods of the nation

 Washington-Presi Roose- welt as a doctor for sick railroads upholds two fine old principles of medical practice.
 One is to give the patient plenty of srest and time to recuperate. The other is-not to forget the general tone of the body while treating the specific diseases.
 In other words. the president is committed to two things: To stand behind the railroads req sonable length of time," and to consider ways of putting all trans portation agencies-not the rails a1one--under federal regulation and control.
 Concerning rails, congress also has two commitments. One Is to ditch the troublesome "recapture clause by which railroads are forbidden from being so mercen- ary and vulgar as to make money. The other is to replace the pres ent system of fixing freight rates, on basis of railroad property value, with another system based on cost of service.
 Anything accomplished along these lines would help the rails AGNoNSI hiOih HN NSSNass tudinous maladies.
 What of the Future?
 The government. by tho way, has a thorny club with which to enforce whatever treatment 1t pleases in case the Iron Horse baIks. It is the power to with hold loans from the R. F. C.
 But 1t may not be necessary to use 1t. The snorting arrogance with which, in the palmy days. the railroads trampled over opposition ---and even financial decency-has generally gone. There are some rail kings left, supported by tn cir special banker-cronies, but hard times have left many others meek.
 Indeed, since the depression be- gan, some railroads have gone pretty far to set their own affairs in better order. And now 1t Is predicted that railroad service as it exists even today will not be recognizable in 10 years.
 Passenger services speeding at 100 mile an hour are visioned; with freight moving at 70. New bullet shaped speed wagons will be seen sizzling along the tracks, brilliant with chromium fittings NGW ueVlCeH TOT 6IllllHlk lIcibht from terminal to consignee at a minimum loss of time are at hand.
