Editor, Twin City Herald:
In your editorial dated March 81
you stated that the local NAACP
work had been taken over by the more
militant and radical I. L.. D. in both
Of the Twin Cities. You: also stated
it was not the fault of the leaders
and you made mention of the Negro
woman, employed by the government
who had never heard of the ,NAACF
until she lost her job. <..
I do not agree with you, Mr.. Edit
or, when you say don't blame the
leaders. There are different kinds OF
leaders. Some lead because they are
taken care of financially and some
lead because their heart is in their
work. . ~: :,
Mr.. Editor, I am , sure you are
aware Of the fact that the leaders OF
the NAACP draw very fat salaries
Having been member of the ,NAACP
I can witness to, that fact. And at
present, being a member of the In
ternational Labor Defense, Il. L. d.,
I can say that the leaders do not
draw any salary at all. Probably the
woman employed by the government
is better off that she did not hear OF
the NAACP any sooner. 49,.
- Yours truly, S.. ~

OIT-OF-TOWN BUYERS HARMING
Ell CENTRIC SAYS BILL DOLLAR

Ell Centre when people cannot make
the purchases they want to in their
own communities while hundreds OF
Ell Centric people are going else
where to spend their money.
What is the result?" continued
Bill" Dollar. There is not so much
employment for money is scarcer
and the employer cannot afford TO
pay for SO many employees-this in
time causes a decrease in popula-
ton. If Ell Centre people would give
their trade TO FL Centre merchants
instead of spending it elsewhere, the
merchants could afford to enlarge
their stocks and give buyers larger
line to select from.
Benefits Are Many
IF Ell Centre people will spend
their money here there will be more
taxes paid and more municipal i'm
provements will come. Ell Centre
cannot hope to grow and have pros
perous business conditions If this
practice is continued, for as soon as
business begins to feel the effect the
people in turn will be hurt and with
their positions gone they will have
to move to other cities.
This condition may not be re-
NEEDED by one or two, or a score,
stopping the practice of trading
elsewhere. 1t must be a concerted
movement on the part of the whole
community-everybody must do it
and when everybody begins to put
the "buy-in-El Centre slogan into
effect very different condition will
soon be apparent and business will
begin to hum.
1T is time for every person in FL
Centre to stop and examine their
own conduct and see whether the
small and sometimes fancied gain
Of trading in other towns is worth
the greater eventual loss.

SAYS BISHOP
CANNON NOT
LAW BREAKER

WASHINGTON. April 10. U.P)-
Frenzied politics of the 1928 presi-
dental campaign in the south was
paraded through the District SUI
preme court today as Bishop James
Cannon. Jr.. battled charges of vio-
lating the corrupt practices act.
The divine of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South, and his
spinster secretary. Miss Ada Bur-
roughS. sat at the counsel table
taking notes while their chief at
torney, Robert H. Mcneil. made
an imprisoned speech to the jury
of II men and one pretty blonde
woman.
Mcneil insisted that neither the
bishop nor Miss Burroughs had
done any wrong in accepting SOS 300
from E. J. Jameson, New York in
surance executive, for use in their
campaign against Alfred E. Smith.
Mcneil said he was prepared to
prove Bishop Cannon spent $4,000
to carry Virginia for Herbert
Hoover and the remaining $1,000
in the national campaign against
Smith. The fact that the bishop
and Miss Burroughs reported the
latter to the clerk of the house
of representatives proves that they
did not violate the corrupt prac-
tees act, Mcneil said.
In fact, it is shameful thing
that the government even could
insinuate that Miss Burroughs
could do wrong" the attorney said,
while Miss Burroughs removed her
horn-rimmed glasses and smiled
family.
Mcneil said Jameson had testi-
fled as to the disposition of his
contribution before to COMPRESSION
al committees, saying that he sent
cash to the bishop because of his
high confidence in the latter's
ability to swing the south toward
the defeat of Smith and the cleo
ton of Hoover

hold a program in the Wilson
school auditorium in which large
numbers of children from the var

HALL DEFENDS
INDICTMENTS

LOS ANGELES, April 10. U.P) -
Leading the government forces III
support of the indictments return
ed against numerous oil concerns
accused of violation of the NRA oil
code, Pierson M. Hall, United States
attorney, today argued against de-
murrers entered by the Standard
Oil and Signal Oil companies.
In his arguments before Federal
Judge William P. James, Hall de-
Tended the constitutionality of both
the MIRA and the Oil code estab-
lished under it and commended a
proposed gasoline distributing
agreement was not an amendment
of the original code, had not become
effective and therefore was void.
The established code, Hall con-
tended, prohibits the practices OF
distribution of gasoline by big
company through its controlled or
subsidiary company as charged In
the indictments.
In the indictments it is charged
that certain big companies in mar
keting through controlled con-
Germ, sold their first and second
grade gasolines at the same prices
but that the subsidiaries underSold
their supposed competitor on
third grade gasoline.
Hall charged that in the case OF
Standard that company actually
owned the gasoline marketed by the
Signal, that the Signal was only the
selling agency for the larger con-
Germ.
1t was indicated that the argyll
ments would continue throughout
today at least.
Yesterday, when the arguments
On the Standard and Signal demur-
rers opened, attorneys for the asso-
ciated oil, Shell and Seaside filed
similar demurrers to indictments
against them before Federal Judge
George Cosgrave. Hearing on these
was set fer April %.

CLUB
ENJOYS TALK
BY G[ASSF0 ORD

General Pelham D. Glassford was
the speaker at this Moons meeting
of the Lions club held at the Bar
bara Worth hotel.
General Glassford discussed his
experiences in Washington when he
was in charge of the police force
and also touched upon his investi-
CATION of the valley situation, dis
cussing the work of Communist agi-
tatorS.
In Washington during his term
of office various groups marched
upon the capital, as the hunger
marchers, the bonus army and Cox
ey's army.
He told of his efforts to avert
trouble and the success with which
they were greeted in spite of the
work of Communist agitators who
attempted to make trouble by seiz-
ing upon the unrest and dissatis-
faction of the marchers to turn
them to the Communist cause.
In discussing the local situation
he stated that he had interviewed
various representatives of the Can
merry and Agricultural Korkers' In
dustrial Union, and also S. c. Alex
ander, Grover Cleveland Hancock
and Miss Helen Marston. He stat
ed that it was his belief that many
of the Gamers union leaders were
actuated by selfish motives rather
than by sympathy for the workers.
Bill Dollar gave clever talk on
buying at home and its Importance
to the entire community.
Leslie Harrington was chairman
of the day and guests were General
