WHITE and HURJA CLASH
over TEXAS VOTE

NEW YORK, Aug. Z4NEInu Hur1a
assistant to James A. Farley, chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, charged last week that the
protests Of Walter White. secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. to
several Democratic senator's against
the failure of Mr.. Farley's Office to
act on the barring of Negroes from
Texas Democratic primaries "consti-
tutes an act Of di~scourtesy." The
accusation was contained in a letter
addressed to Mr.. White on August
18, following the receipt by Mr.. Hur-
ia of copies Of letters written by the
N. A. A. C P. secretary telling sena-
tors of futile efforts to get any ac-
ton from him
Replying to the accusation Of dis
courtesy in a letter dated August %,
Mr.. White declared 81 would. how
ever. far rather be accused of dis
courtesy than be gailty of failure
to take every possible step to pre-
vent gross violation of the federal
Constitution and the fouting of de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court by the officials Of certain state
Democratic Committees.
"In the present instance we are fac
ed with a fact and not a theory. The
fact is that continued correspondence
between Mr.. Farley and yourself on
the one hand this Association on the
ether has failed signally to elicit a
single definite statement from you
that the Democratic National Com
mittee, its chairman, or its assistant
to the chairman have taken or will
take any steps whatever, even in the
way Of advice, to prevent the barring
of qualified Negro voters from parti-
cipation in the state primaries"
Citing communications dated May
%, June IS, July 20, July % and Aug.
which were mere Acknowledgements
of his letters urging action and fail
ed to state definitely what action, if
any, would be- taken. Mr.. White ex-
pressed astonishment that in three
months time Nh. Hurja had not Eat
least some contact" with Mr.. Farley
in order to take up such an important
matter as violation Of the federal Con-
stitution and f1outing of the U. S.
Supreme Court decisions on the pri-
mary voting issue.
"This illegal action by state Demo-
cratic Committees in the South" Mr..
Whites letter continues, sis a mat
ter which does not belong exclusively
to the assistant to the chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee.
It is a matter of concern not only to
him. but to the well-being of the par
ty as a whole. In a larger sense it
resolves itself into aqaestion as to
whether or not the Democratic Ma
tional Committee Though yourself
Or Mr.. Farley is going to remain in
active and therefore give approval
Of and consent to an illegal act.
81 presume you will consider this
4 further act of discourtesy, but we
are supplying copies Of your letter
Of August Is and of this reply to the
same Democratic senators to whom
we have previously written in order
that they may be kept informed Of
the apparent unwillingness Of the ma
tional committee to act in this grave
Mr.. White declared today that the
Association would keep up this aght
for the right of qualified Negro vot-
ers to vote in the Democratic prima-
ries in the southern states to a show

 The democrat commentator pointed out there are two police men on this section, one regular member who patrols Church street. Rubber avenue and Cherry street; the other, one of the shop super numerayies who goes by the sta- ton in his rounds.
 These men are closer to the building, nave the opportunity for longer scrutiny and have more chance of getting the thief than the motor patrol which just passes on the road ana whose only chance of catching somebody might be in noticing light in the station. He said he did not expect War den Sheridan will order the patrol back because of this break at least. There were other breaks when the motor patrol was active. Why did not the patrol prevent these if it were such a valuable force" he asked.
