THE N. A. A. G.. PAM
ITS THREE LITTLE


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, January %
Gut out the demonstrations" said
Walter White and the rest of the N.
A. A. C. P. Officials in New York.
"Stop the protests Don't ask for civil
rights-it'H only make the Southern
lynchers mad. Get good lawyers for
the Scottsboro boys, and for Willie
Peterson, and let them kow-tow to
the judges down there"
Leave it to the lawyers" said DR..
Dubois, Ginning in. "The N. A. A.
G. P. is hiring the best legal talent"
This talk Of the "best legal talent"
was an oft-heard refrain when the
N. A. A. c. P. was trying to keep the
International Labor Defense from
defending the Scottsboro boys, was
trying to stop the mass action, and
prevent attorneys from making Ne.
gro rights an issue in these frame-up
cases.
And yet, somehow, this @best legal
talent" that the n. A. A. c. P. puts
forward, has a way Of lining up with
the lynchers and the Klansmen at
every turn. If you don't believe it,
read a little history
Take John Altman, of Birming-
ham, first. Altman is one of the at
torneys that the N. A. A. G. P. hired
to defend Willie Peterson. What
has Altman been doing lately? Well

women in the detail have worked on
Mississippi plantations and are well

strenuous for women"

Mr.. f. G. Patton,

MI. +. C. Patton,
Post Master,
10th and Dodge Street,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear Sir:
/ am writing you in behalf Of en-
ployes in the Post Office Depart
ment who have been in service any
number Of years.
From Investigations, all are re-
liable, faithful and conscientious
workers. and I would a deserve
consideration. l know you are heavily
ladened with many obligations, but |
do not think that you will reject any
Of those old employees, personally
knowing they are eligible and should
receive the first consideration Of en-
ployment-
It has been stated the majority of
the employees in service at this time
are to be laid off and others taken
on. If the work Of these employees has
been satisfactory, and | am sur it
has, | know it is realized these in
dividuals with seniority Of service
and acquaintance with this work,
will be given preference and not ex-
changed for others who are not ex-
perienced along these lines, OF for
those who have not worked in the
Post Office Department.
Knowing the hiring and discharg-
ing Of these men is in your juris-
diction, it has been recently stated
I also, the old employees are to be re-
tanned, and l am hoping the same is
true. These are difficult times, and
the majority Of the said employees
have reached the age it would be i'm
possible for them to ecure other
employment in order to provide for
themselves and families. They know
and are best fitted for this line Of
work, having served the Post Office
well for years, and are still capable
of giving satisfactory service, and
am hoping that you will give them
consideration.
l should like to call your attention
also at the time to the SAID party,
Walter Irwin, who has been employed
as a fireman in this department for
10 years and 7 months. Previous to
this employment he served in the
army for A years and 8 months, max
ing a total Of IS years in the service
Of our government.
As the above party is an active, re
liable and dependable worker, l
should like to recommend him for
consideration if there is an opening
for an engineer in this building. He
is well acquainted with this line of
work, holds seniority rights, and de-
serves this consideration.
Thanking you very much for what
ever manifestation you may give in
behalf Of all of the employees at the
Post Office, and the one said in
dividual whom / personally mention
ed, I am
Respectfully yours,
DR.. G. B. LENNOX.

TAXI LIABILITY
! BILL BOOSTED
BY BENDELL

No change in taxicab rates
would result from compulsory in
surance as provided for in a meas
ure before Congress, in the opin.
ion Of Robert s. Bendell, presi.
dent of the American Highway
Protective Association of New
York.
Mr.. Bendell said today that he
has been in touch with the Situa-
ton for some time and that he
believes that everyone interested
is in favor of providing protection
for taxicab passengers. He said:
Elm my opinion the result Of
this insurance will be to place
all drivers ON an equal basis,
whether they be Independent or
members of an association, and
through a careful check-up of
some Of the leading companies
writing this type Of insurance,
I have ascertained that the cost
to the operators would be APP
prOximateIy IS cents a day"
The highway official added that
Washington is the only large city
in the United States which does
not co.Apel drivers to protect their
passengers.
Kirk A. Landon, chairman OF
the Statutory Board of Under
writers of New York city, in a
letter to Representative Wright
Patman, brought out similar facts
He denied that compulsory insur
ance has the tendency to create a
monopoly in the industry, and
said that insurance of this type is
instrumental in eliminating lam
bulance chasing lawyers" from
reaping a harvest"

FRISBIE SAYS.
Agriculture Teacher Talks
to Kiwanis; Club Has
Two New Members

Vocational agriculture and A.
H club work as carried on in
Henderson and other counties
"centers entirely around the de-
velopment of a citizenship able
to take its place in the world
we have" E. T. Frisbe, agricul-
tur teacher at Edneyville and
Dana, told the Hendersonville
Kiwanis club this afternoon.
In an address in which he de-
scribed the activities of All club
members, Young Tar Heel Farm
ers and others in agriculture
classes, Mr.. Frisbee reported in
creasing interest and progress.
The educational Dogram in this
county, he said, is built around
fruit growing, truck and field
crops, and livestock and poultry
raising. "and it is interesting TO
note that in almost every in
stance the boys who adopt farm
projects and carry them out un-
der approved practices obtain
larger yields than their fathers"
"For instance" said Mr.. Fris-
bee, "the average yield of pota-
toes last year was 70 to 80 BUSH
els per acre, while boys in the
agriculture classes reported an
average yield of 10 to 12O
bushels"

ell and L. B. Prince as new mem
bers, the charge being given by
A. F. Barber, and heard two vo-
cal solos by Mrs. J. c. Morrow,
