GARNER MENTIONED
IN SHIP MAIL PR0BE|
Steamship Group President
Wanted Him to Oversee
Committee Choices.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
J. T. Lykes, president Of the Ameri-
can Steamship Owners Association,
was described in q letter as having
issued instructions that Vice President
Garner be approached on selection
of the committee ia investigate ocean
mail contracts, according to evidence
presented yesterday before the Senate
committee making the inquiry.
Lachlan Macleay, executive vice presi-
dent Of the Mississippi Valley Associa-
ton. identified the letter put into the
record as one he had received from
Lykes in March, 1888.
The letter said in part:
Did not get to see Roy Miller. AS
YOU know, we are anxious that the
new Senate committee to investigate
ocean mail contracts should be sound
and sane. Would you discuss this mat
ter with Arledge? Get Roy Miller to
have a talk with the Vice President.
This is most important"
Failed to Pay Visit.
In response to questions by Chair
man Black of the committee, Macleay
said he did not discuss the matter with
H. B Arledge, identified as an attor-
ney for shipping interests and associa-
tions interested in shipping. He said
no attempt was made to approach
Miller, who was campaign manager for
Garner in 1882 Macleay said he dis
approved of Lykes' suggestion and in
sisted that the matter went no further
than the letter.
Macleay said that the Mississippi
Valley Association received 1864 1897
from 1928 to 1888 to work for a better
merchant marine, and that shipping in
terests contributed an average of only
about 1910 annually. He added, how
ever, that the average contribution from
ship owners and builders since 1928 has
been about $500.
Macleay said that, after several ar
ticles assailing ship subsidies had ap-
peared in the Kansas City Journal Post,
ne had suggested that shipping officials

Savannah, Ga, CNS)- Marion
Moultrie, whose desire to become a
minister was on the point of being
realized, received a "call" in a most
unusual n He was struck by
lightning and killed as he stood in
front of the Baptist Church pulpit
preparing o be ordained.
The tragedy occurred Sunday af-
ternoon in the presence of a large
congregation of Moultrie's friends
There had been a sharp rain with
some lightning during the day. About
5 o'clock Moultrie took his place near
the pulpit to deliver his sermon INCL
dent to his ordination as a minister.
He began:
1--WE are gathered here this after
noon
He got no further. There was a
sharp flash of lightning; the bolt
struck the church and the pulpit be-
fore which Moultrie stood. He fell as
if struck by a bullet. The storm was
not long in passing. The body was re
moved from the church and rays of
sunlight streamed through the win

STATEMENT BY THE ACTING
EDITOR TO THE READERS OF
THE OMAHA GUIDE

Every Newspaper must have some
one at the head of its affairs, in fact.
all businesses must have a head.
Since Mr.. H. ]. Ford, the founder and
Editor of The Omaha Guide, moved
to Washington, D. c.. it happened
to be my misfortune to be the acting
Editor and the business Of
The Omaha Guide. l say misfortune
because every man who is head of any
business organization these depres-
sion days is everything but proud of
the job he has on his hands. I have
been reliably informed by some of
my employees that the readers of our
paper r accusing them of being re-
sponsible for certain items that are
appearing in our paper. l wish to
correct this matter. The Editor Of
any newspaper is wholly responsible
for the contents therein, and as a
rule, the Editor tries doubly hard to
put into his paper what his readers
will appreciate. When we fail to do
that there is only two reasons, viz
shortage Of funds and the lack of cor
rect information from our readers as
to what they want in their paper.
W. will accept, anytime, constructive
criticism, and will regard it as a spec
ial favor when it is done unselfishly,
and in writing. and not street gossip.
Please hold the Editor, as the Courts
10 and who is responsible for the it.
ems in the paper which he is Editor
of and not the many employees.

Negro Operators
Gain I'm License Fight

Last week the Omaha Guide carried a story and
commented ~editorally about the battle being on for two
youths right to a square deal for Motion Picture Operat-
ors license. Due to this story we have received many in
qulrles and many letters, some special deliveries, endors-
ing our demand for representation. We believe the whole
nelghborhood is more solidly behind this matter than any
thing heretofore that has been sponsored by the Omaha
Guide. We are receivig also from supposed to be inside, in
formation as about what trouble will be started by the
Union Operators when the change is made. Few people
know there is a penalty of a year in the state pententiary
for throwing stink bombs on the sidewalks, or in any
place of business or private home. Some one has made the
remark that the enemies of this movement would not
have any trouble whatever in employing some Negro
tramp for a five spot to do the dirty work. This, The
Omaha Guide does not believe is true. AS many Negroes
one of them who would attempt to do anything that is so
low and degrading to prevent a Negro youth for securing
a position that pays $500 a week. If there is one, and he
should be spotted by any Negro at the time of the act, it is
stated that he will not fair so well.

MR.. PRICE WARNS BARRIERS

Mr.. R. c. Price made a statement
to the BARRIERS warning them against
two men who r working against the
BARRIERS Association who are putting
forth an effort to repeal the City Or
dinance requiring a City Board. The
City Board has been in effect for
quite sometime. In 1928 a state law
was passed requiring a State Board.
The City Board is an exact duplicate
of the State Board, and requires the
BARRIERS to pay a large tax. The City,
in other words, after the state has
licensed one, comes around to collect
its share of tax, when as a matter of
fact, does not deserve anything be-
cause it hasn't done anything.

WORKERS URGED TO REGISTER
FOR PUBLIC WORKS JOBS AT
AGENCIES

New York, on the
governments huge public works con-
struction program will be selected
largely from those registered at en-
ployment agencies designated by the
United States Employment service
and colored workers are urged to find
out from their local U. S. Employ
ment service Office just which agencies
are to receive registrations.
Negro workers should register al
once for these jobs in order that NO
alibis can be presented when the act
ual hiring begins" said a statement
from the NAACP. Secretary Har-
old L. Ices has stated the conditions
under which labor will be employed
and colcred workers are urged to fol
low the rules laid down for everyone
Then, if any discrimination is shown
and a protest is made, officials will
not be able to say that Negro work
ers were not registered properly"
The NAACP. has sent a telegram
to Colonel Donald H. Sawyer, whosis
expected to be continued as perman-
ent director of the public works pro-
gram, urging that the govrnment see
that contractors do not discriminate
against Negro workers in employing
men for public works. The telegram
asked Colonel Sawyer ito take all
steps possible especially the inclusion
of specific clauses IN contracts, agree
ments, or other documents dealing
with administration Of the public
works act, to prohibit discrimination
in employment on account of race, col
or or creed. The telegram continues:
"Denial to Negroes especially in gov
eminent construction and other pro-
jects financed by the federal govern
mnt is notorious through contractors
refusing to give Negro workers full
and fair share of employment. Every
possible step should be taken to pre-
vent continuance Of this discriminat-
DRY practice"

ROBERT VANN TAKES OATH OF
OFFICE AS SPECIAL ASSISTANT
TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Washington (CNS)JRobert Lee
Vann, Pittsburgh publisher and one
of the Negro leaders who led the
fight for the election of President
Roosevelt, was last Friday sworn in
as Special Assistant to the Attorney
General of the United States in the
Department Of Justice Building here.
Vann's appointment marks the first
OF several Negro appointments said
to be slated by the new administra-
ton.
Vann is the first Negro to hold
such an Office under a Democratic ad
m~inistration. There have been Repub-
iican appointees Of equal and higher
rank, however. William H. Lewis of
Boston held the position of Assistant
Attorney General under Attorney
General George Wickersham; and
Perry W. Howard was Special Assist
at to the Attorney General under the
Coolidge administration.
The new appointee was
led to the Attorney Generals office
for the ceremony of taking oath of
office by Joseph r. Guffey, Demo
cratic leader in Pennsylvania. The
oath was given by Hugo y. "A. Carusi,
secretary to Attorney General HON
er 5. Cummings in the presence of
First Assistant Attorney General
William Stanley. Attorney General
Cummings was not present at the
ceremony but appeared shortly after
to congratulate his new assistant.
Doubt was expressed as to the as
signment which will be given Mr.
Vann. The appointee said that he
did not know where he would be as
signed, but said that he did not ex-
pect to owe his family to Washing
ton. It is believed that he will spend
most of time away from Washington
probably around the western part of
his own state.
Among the large group Of friends
OF the new appointee who witnessed
the swearing in and felicitated him
at its conclusion, were George w.
Coles, ST., and Mrs. Coles, of Pitts
bugh; DR.. Joseph L. Johnson, Of Col
umbus, Ohio; d. D. WiIliston, Louis
K. Mehhnger, Robert A. Pelham, Mrs
Eunice Scott, Manuel Rogue and Mrs.

LITTLE FELLOWS"

Municipal Judge Palmer, incensed

ing squad insists on breaking into
homes illegally without a warrant to
search for liquor.
Our police court is clogged with
petty liquor cases, while big shots
are seldom arrested. 1t is just as il
legal to sell 80 beer in Nebraska to-
day as to have liquor in ones possess
