Portland N.A.A.C.P. News

The National Association for the
Advancement of Celored People held
a meeting Thursday night at the Mt.
Olivet Baptist Church instead of
Sunday at the Y. w. C. A. for the
reason that the call of mass meet
ing in addition to the regular
monthly meeting was necessary, for
the Jordan case. An editonial was
read from the Morning 0regonian in
support of the N.AAsC.P fight for
the Congressional investigation for
the peonage investigation in the
Mississippi flood CONTROL project.
For the first time in the history
of Oregon the local branch has had
introduced Civil Rights Bill for
the State of Oregon, Senate Bill
No. 228, by Senators Corbett, Lee,
Bynon, Joe f. Dunn, and Staples,
and read before the session on Feb
ruary 10, in the present Legislative
session. 1t was hard struggle to
get this bill introduced for the rea-
son that some of our LEGAL Negro
leaders attempted to divide the
strength of the voting group during
the campaign. 1t is obvious further
that we should meet with opposition
in this Jordan Case from these same
persons, but we believe our reward
for continuing against this opposi-
| ton is made in the form of this Civil
Rights Bill which we hope to have
passed before the close of the ses-
sion. If the administration has done
nothing else we feel that that one
accomplishment is worthy of COM
mendation for if any state needs q
Civil Rights Bill it is Oregon. Our
next meeting viii be held on the
third Sunday in March at the VIII
liams Avenue Y. w. c. A., unless
some emergency in the Jordan case
arises which win justify a special
meeting.

 The congestion of city and fed eral licensing agencies which left employees exhausted long after dark last night was renewed to- day in somewhat less extreme form as retailers and restaura- teurs who neglected to obtain He censes earlier swarmed to join the beer parade. Liens of would-be beer purveyors which at times be- came almost mobs gathered at H. censing offices yesterday, only to find that until late afternoon no permits were available.

 Eventually, however, temporary blanks were provided and more than 5000 establishments had ob- tained the right to sell beer before the license offices closed late last night.

Some Youngsters
 Good Riders
Age Limit Reduced for Competitors in Horse
 Races

Most children of 16 years are just as sophisticated and also just as good riders as their elders, de- creed George Dunnell, manager of the New Haven Horse Show, to be held May 4, 5 and 6, in explain ing today why he has reduced the age limit for children in the horse- manship classes.
 You take a girl of today" pointed out MT Dunnell, "and she struts around with the boise, per- fume and powder of an adult. Likewise, she Is fully competent in most cases to ride in competition with her elders"
 The New Haven Horse Show is leading the way in reducing the maximum age limits in the two standard divisions of children's classes. Usually, the smaller groups age limit is 12 but 1t will be 10 years at New Haven next month. The older groups maxi mum age must be IA instead of the customary 16 years.

NEGRO YOUTHS WIN BIG POINT IN THEIR TRIAL
Ruby Bates Who Accused Them in First Hearing Admitted Yester d a y She Told an Untruth

Decatur, Ala, April 2 - (UP) -- Samuel s. Leibowitz, attorney for nine Negro youths facing the electric chair in the Scottsboro as- sault case, expressed elation today at the dramatic denial by Ruby Bates, one of the alleged victims, that any of the Negroes had at- tackled her.
 "The testimony speaks for it. self" he said. Leibowitz said no threats of mob violence would prevent him from doing his utmost to obtain acquit- tals for Haywood Patterson, the youth now on trial, and his eight co-defendants.
 Leibowitz's hotel room was guarded during the night, but he said he had not asked for protec- ton. The town appeared quiet to- day after yesterdays mob rumors.
 Ruby Bates's recantation of her testimony at the first trial two years ago, when eight of the de- fendants received death sentences, was the most dramatic feature of the trial to date and the high light of the defense case. She had been missing from her home in Huntsville since February 2S, and only Leibowitz knew she had re- turned.
 When Leibowitz called her name all eyes were focused on the court room entrance, guarded by militia men.
 Tense excitement prevailed as she entered, dressed modishly, and started to testify.
 She not only denied that she had been attacked by the Negroes but said that as far as she knew Vic- toria Price, the other alleged vic- tim, was not migtreated by them. Victoria flushed as the girl testi- fled, and Attorney General Thomas E. Knight warned her to keep her temper.
 Ruby Bates said that until two While there, she said, she visited dick, pastor of the Riverside Bap- tist church, and confessed her previous testimony was false. He advised her to tell the truth" she said, and arranged for her to go to Birmingham, where she was to meet the Rev Dr Charles Clinguan, pastor of the Episcopal church of the Advent. From Birmingham she was brought here by Mrs May Jones, social worker.
 On crosse examination, Knight asked her why she testified differ- entIy at the original trial.
 "I was following what Victoria told," she replied. "She said we might have to stay njail if we did not frame up 6 story"

 CHANCE TO WORK
Director Fechner Said They Have Hard Time to Get Jobs and Will Take to Work

Washington, April 7.-CUP)- Federal Work Corps Director Fech- ner explained to-day that youths were being given the first chance to "Join up" for forestry enlist ment because they arc "most likely tot profit by the education and training which this opportunity af- fords."
 Needing young unmarried men of between IS and 25 out of the cities to form the nucleus of a po- tential reforestation army of 250,- 900 is progressing rapidly he said.
 This class, in Fechner's opinion has had the hardest struggle find ing work or relief and needs as- sistance both for themselves and numbers of people dependent upon them.
 Many of thesem en have been unable to secure any chance for self support the last four years," Fechner said, land they are, more over, the very men who are best adopted to the kind of work"

FAMOUS NAME OF MILWAUKEE WAS
 REBORN AGAIN
The Greatest Celebration Since the Signing of Armistice Took Place There After the Mid- night Hour

Milwaukee, Wis. April 7.-UP) The old beer that made Mil- waukee famous flowed again to- day in a celebration pronounced the greatest since signing of the armistice.
 Breweries of Juneau avenue were stormed by thousands or shouting, hilarious persons. At the Miller brewery, where beer was passed out free, thirsty celebrators seized empty tomato cans, discard ed bottles or whatever other con tainers they could find and rushed up to the flowing spigots. Wisconsin avenue, Milwaukee's main thoroughfare, was damned. The throngs extended up to the brewery area, where the noise and excitement reached frenzied pitch.
 The shifting, shouting crowds de- layed beer trucks as they started for cafes end taverns. Policemen on motorcycles and in squad cars, with sirens screaming, cleared a path for trucks piled to the peak with cases and kegs.
 At a tavern a few blocks from the Pabst brewery, bere was flow lHR dL A lCW ANSSA 1t was available at nearly all down. town cafes.
 At one brewery a man rushed from the bottling room carrying 6 full case. He stopped on a load ing platform and tossed the bottles to the crowd. Pandemonium pre- vailed as spectators scrambled madly for the bottles. At another brewery a block away crowds stormed the storehouse and seized half-a-dozen cases. Police squads had difficulty restoring any sem blance of order,
 At the Pabst brewery German throngs gathered, carrying curren- cy in their hands. They battled their way up to the storerooms, shouldered cases of beer and hur- ried homeward.
 On Wisconsin avenue. celebra- tors stood on tops of automobiles singing "Sweet Adeline" and other songs familiar in beer drinking circles.
 The Milwaukee celebration. which had been discouraged by city officials, surpassed expecta- tions of brewers. City authorities had urged citizens to wait until after Lent to celebrate.
