THE OMAHA GUIDE GIVES
THANK


The Omaha Guide. On the arpronch of tho CIV end
date which our President has issued his nrc~la- alton,
calling upon the citizens Of this Greet Rerrlb'io r turn
aside from their labors and give thanks to tho Tofsy for
the Manifold blessings, which they hav0 enioved since
last they were called upon to give thanks. Do here by
give thanks for the many blessings we have enioved.
The Omaha Guide has much to be thankful for.
Since this proclamation was last issued, we have passed
thru trials and ordeals, calculated to try the souls Of men.
Gigantic business structures, built and directed by in
tellectual giants and captains and generals of industry,
have been crumbled, and dashed to pieces on the rock OF
depression and the sea of ignorance, greed, envy and
hate. Nation has risen against Nation and subjects a.
gainst Kingdoms. Men and women have been ~ruthlessly
driven from their homes and stript OF their property and
possessions, and Rulers have been dispatched by the
sword. The poor has been made to cry and beg for bread,
and the rich has been reduced to want. Cities and NUM-
cipalities have been bankrupted, and their employees
have been forced to work without pay. Yet we have been
able to struggle on. Altho at times we have tainted by the
way. No ray of light could we see in the flrmannt, yet
was we soothed and sustained by an unfaltering trust,
which "passeth all understanding" For these and an
abundance of other blessings that has not yet been made
manifest are we thankful. We take no pride in our ACHE
vements, nor do we condone our faults, neither make ex-
cuses for our mistakes of which we have many and have
made MANY. We can only take pride in the fact that we
are not too cowardly to admit them, nor too proud to
make restitution.
We are thankful that Of all the errors and mis-
takes, Of which we may be charged, and whatever hight
we have made in the interest OF our people, and good
government, we have concientiousy tried to do the right
as God gave US the vision to see the right, with malice
against none and with charity towards all, with an add
ing confidence that when truth gets a hearing and the
veil Of prejudice, segregation, Jim-Crowism, legal and
mob lvnching has been rolled away from the eyes OF JUS
tice. that she NAV clearly see, then will the Omaha Guide
give thanks with a loud voice and sheath her sword Until
then, it intends to stand as a stone wall and fight for the
right as it sees the right, regardless of our critics and
defamers not withstanding to the contrary.
For all this we only wish to show our thanks, oy
serving and remembering that she who servest best,
lowest best"

CRAWFORD CASE CALLED TEST
OF NEGRO SERVICE ON JURIES

Tag-Crawford Case Called Test
NEW YORK, November 20 To
the general colored public the George
Crawford case may be only a colored
ma on trial for numbering two
white women, but to lawyes and stu
dents Of Negro rights, it is the most
important legal fight for constitu-
tlonal rights and justice in the
courts that has come up in recent
years.
Charles H. Houston, of the N. A.
A. c. p legal committee, chief de-
Tense counsel for Crawford declared
this week that unless the Crawford
case is won on the jury issue. all the
gains in recent years as far as Ne
groes serving On juries may be lost.
Virginia has started calling Ne
groes for jury service, but in the
Cawford ease, in ruling on the indict-
men of the defendant by a lily-white
jury, the state took a re-actionary
stand, Mr.. Houston said. The states
actions are fair, but it's ruling ON the
Crawford indictment is a dangerous
technical legal stand, which if es-
tablished firmly in law without sue
cessful challenge may give the state
the right in the future to ignore Ne
groes altogether in jury service.
Mr.. Houston, while praising the
fair and impartial treatment at the
hearing in Loudon county, was dis
appointed in the ruling of the court
that the indictment of Crawford was
valid even if Negroes were ignored
in calling the grand jury. He took
exception to this point and it will
form the basis of an appeal.
The court found the exclusion of
Negroes, that there were qualified
Negroes, that there was a caste sys-
tenn; but refused to find that Negro
es had been excluded solely on ac-
count of race on the ground that to
exclude M had to bear in mind and
consider, to pass judgment upon;
and that since Judge Alexander did
not consider Negroes in selecting the
grand jury, did not have Negroes in
mind, he did not work a constitution
al discrimination although uniformly

Brodsky, associate counsel of the In

to seek the removal of the trial to

one change of venue is not allowed
under Alabama law.

Court if necessary he said my on
tention that this law in the present
case violates the due process pro-
vision of the Federal Constitution,
which holds that no mans right to
life or property may be taken away
without due process Of law"
Four men, posing as soap and
brush statesmen, visited many homes
in Morgan County, Alabama, and
have made affidavits Of what they
learned to prove that the nine Negro
defendants in the Scottsboro assault
case, Their attorneys and defense wit
nesses will be in danger of being
lynched unless a change of venue is
granted.

LEIBOWITZ AND RUBY BATES
BOTH TO BRAVE LYNCHING
THREATS FROM ALABAMA

NEW YORK CITY, November %
-(CNS) = Samuel Leibowitz, who
was attorney for the colored defen-
dants in the famous "Scottsboro
Case" revealed today that Ruby
Bates, who took the stand to repud-
late her charges that the defendants
had attacked her, has offered to aid
them again in an appeal.
Leibowitz made public a letter
from Miss Bates, whose whereabouts
he would not disclose, in which she
is quoted as ~reiterating that her re-
pudiation vas founded on truth, and
in which she expressed fears for her
safety if she returns to Decatur,
Alabama.
The girl, who was complaining
witness with Victoria Price before
she changed her story, is said to
have expressed willingness to retelI
her story to lawyers here.
Threats by Alabama National
Guard officers and p~rivates to deliver
the nine Scottsboro case colored
youths to a lynch mob were barred in
a series of affidavits made by pri-
vate detectives here yesterday.
The testimony, identifying the
makers of the threats, and naming
some of the mob planning the hang
ings, will be used by Defense Attor-
ney Samuel S. Leibowitz in an effort
to have a retrial of the cases shifted
from Decatur, Alabama.
Leibowitz, who will journey south
with legal associates for the arraign-
ment Of the youths at Decaur or
November 20, will argue that his
clients, charged at two previous
trials with attacking two white CIR
hobos IN a freight car in 1929, will
be unable to get a fair trial o. pro
lection for their lives at Decatur.

COMMISSIONERS LOOK AT
MUSCLE SHOALS

Muscle Shoals is meeting an in
creasingly cold response among those
who really understand the problems
of generating and distributing cleo
trio power.
Latest instance of this occurred at
the meeting of the state utilities
commissioners - who are unbiased
authorities if anybody Or group is
at Cincinnati. The Tennessee Valley
Authority, when it anne up for dis
cussion, was just about friendless
Most of the delegates-and they
came from all parts of the country
and represented all political factions
- were opposed to government own
ership of power plants. They fore
saw unhealthy and unwarranted re-
suits if the fedeal government goes
into competition with private bust
ness.
Their objections to Muscle Shoals
were too many and too varied to de-
tail. A few will suffice. Commission
ers said, for example, that there is a
surprising amount of vagueness and
uncertainty about the whole thing.
They couldn't figure out how the
Authority can quote power rates
when the project is still in the nebu-
lous stage. They offered the opinion
that costs can't be accurately deter
mined until much more is known

he a selected white men only.
1T will take money to fight this
case properly" Walter White, N. A.
A. c. p secretary said. "There is a
tremendous amount of investigation
to be done and many services have
to be paid for before we even go to
trial. Mr.. Houston and his associates
are glad to give their services with
out fee because of the Importance Of
this case to colored people every
where. The NAACP. needs then, a
fund for expenses in the case, not a
real defense fund. Even SO, the
amount needed is large. The inside
legal points in this case are not easy
to make plain in a newspaper state
ment but | assure everyone that they
are most important, and unless we
raise the money to fight them pro-
perly, all the gains in jury service
may be wiped out and Negroes be
set back thirty years as far as this
matter is concerned" f.
The NAACP. already has spent
$1,503.44 on the Crawford case from
the beginning in Boston until now.
The fight against extradition in Bos-
ton which went up to the u. S. SUI
rreme court cost $740.25, on which
1864 is still to be paid. Counsel SER
we'd without fee. To date in Virginia
$763.19 has been spent and more
needed daily.
Contributions are coming in slow
ly. There is immediate need for at
least $1,000. Over $500 has been
spent in preliminary court steno-
graphic work, which is only a small
part of the work yet to be done.
Necessary Investigations in Virginia
are being held up because of lack of
funds. The NAACP., at its national
office, 60 Fifth avenue has received
and is thankful for many contribu-
tons of small denominations, and it
realizes these mean real sacrifices. 1t
urges, however, that organizations,
lodges, churches, clubs Greek letter
organizations and individuals raise
and send in money for this import
ant legal struggle.
