salaries after the passage Of a
resolution Monday in Il joint

OKLA: GOVERNOR
ORDERS NEW JIM
CROW DISTRICT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. =
In drastic executive order, Gov
ernor William II. Murray Mon
day declared military law in a
three-block strip of city property
extending from Eastern Avenue
to Walnut Street.
A delegation stood aghast in
the Governors office while he
informed them what he had de-
cided to do.
81 have no law for this, but
I have the power and I'm going
to do it," said Governor Murray
when the only protest made
came from j. J. Joseph, attorn-
ely.
DO you mean to say, Gov
ernpr Murray, that this line you
have drown on this map before
US is a permanent line of demar-
cation designating where Negroes
ought to llve?"
Eyes, where they will be per-
1itted to live" the governor is
quoted as saying.
1--WE want the world to know
that group of intelligent citi-
zens has called on you today"
Joseph said.
II don't think l can do much
about that They smear me with
filth all the time" Joseph quoted
Murray as answering.
Murray then plunged into a
lecture about his purpose in
sending for them and why he
was taking it upon himself 20
violate the guarantees of the
Federal Constitution.
Whites Must Move
Under the terms of an execu-
tive military order issued by the
governor following the confer
ence, white residents of the area
may continue to live there until
their contracts expire but must
move thereafter. The military.
or "nontrespass" zone, is to be
maintained until some further
permanent solution is made by
the city of Oklahoma City, by
the state or both.
Governor Murray referred in
the order to Occasional difficult
ties growing out of race eompe-
tition in Ward Town of the
southeast section of the city lue
to extremists among both races. -"

distinct southern drawl that was

DEEPEST FLAYS COMMUNISM
Scottsboro Boy Stabbed!

Crowd of 5000 Hears Ruby Bates
Tell of Scottsboro Frameup


BALTIMORE, Md.-Crowds es-
timated at 5000 persons of both
races and representatives of all
strata of society crowded three
churches Sunday afternoon to
hear Ruby Bates declare in her
own voice that the Scottsboro
boys were innocent.
Six times Ruby Bates, a tall
white girl in modish outfit of
blush grey, stood before audi
ences and branded the Scottsbo-
70 case as a frame-up and told
the crowds that she was sorry
that she had caused the boys
two years of trouble by her first
testimony which she declared
she was forced to give.
Ruby Bates and Poster Carter,
a blonde-haired youth of moder-
ate height who possessed few or
no marks of the hobo he was
when he was taken from a train
in Alabama two years ago, were
the chief attractions at the SER
les of meetings that brought
forth the greatest demonstration
of racial consciousness the city
has ever seen.
Richard B. Moore, silvery-
tongued orator of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, held the
packed auditorium spell-bound
with his denunciation of the
white ruling classes and paved
the way for the presentation of
the witnesses from Decatur.
At the Sharp Street Church,
the Rev c. Y. Trigg opened the
service with prayer in which he
said: "Oh Lord, l have no apol-
ogy to make for being on the
path of justice and right" He
was followed by Bernard AIDES,
who opened the meeting by in
Producing DR.. Edward ]. Wheat
ley, who declared that the time
was ripe for the local people to
awake from their lethargy and
rise up and demand their rights.

fight with Patterson. The BOYS
said they heard a guard tell Pat
terson to shut up you Sassy mig
ger" and heard blows. A few
minutes later they said two
guards dragged Patterson past
their cell They boys said they
had not seen Patterson since.
This is the second time with
in a few weeks that the Scots
boro boys have been attacked In
jail. Two weeks ago, the prison
authorities sent a gang of prison
thugs to attack the boys. When
the boys seized pieces of pipe
and other available weapons and
defended themselves, the attack
was called off. At that time the
warden declared that the boys
had been ''impudent since their
return from the Decatur trial. :"
He especially attacked Patterson
as being ''impudent and arro-
gant." Now he declares that
Roy and Andy Wright had a
fight with Patterson, because he
was "overbearing and arrogant"
This Is plainly an echo of the
previous charge that the boys
and Patterson, in particular,
were arrogant" This charge is
based on the fact that the boys
are showing the utmost courage
and fortitude in prison as re-
suit of the inspiration gained
from the knowledge that millions
CT Negroes and white workers
are fighting for their release.

Penned In Like Hogs

THE GOVERNOR OF OKLAHO-
MA has issued a decree which
prohibits Negroes from living
anywhere in Oklahoma except In
a restricted area of few square
city blocks.
He invited committee of col
ored citizens to his office to hear
the edict. Present were Negro
lawyers, doctors and preachers.
There was not one word of pro-
test. No one questioned the right
of the Governor to use such IN
fair methods except a lawyer,
who questioned mildly how long
the decree would continue.
1T is DIFFICULT to believe
that a Governor of a State would
use such high handed METHODS.
II is more perplexing to under
stand how even a group of Ok
lahoma Negroes would listen to
it without telling the Governor
where to head in or at least say
Ing what they thought of his an
American action.
We don't know but we believe
that after they left the Govern
ors office they sent up a howl
that assembled to heaven. We
must not be too harsh concern
ing our brothers in Oklahoma,
however, because we have
large number of spineless Ne
groes who accept harsh treat
ment without a murmur.
1t is hoped that after the col
cred citizens of Oklahoma have
caught their breath they will be-
gin working to have the illegal
edict withdrawn.

Pennsylvania refused to adopt a
