BUREAU OF CENSUS
DROPS EMPLOYEES

WASHINGTON (CNS)- Three
hundred temporary employees
about seventy of them colored- of
the Bureau of the Census, Depart

during the past week due to the
failure of Congress to appropriate
money for payment of their salar-
les.
Most of these employees were
card punchers employed during the
past six months to assist in COM
piling census of business and an
inventory of real property. Both
projects were ordered by the Civil
Works Administration and are
nearing completion as far as card
punching and machine tabulation
are concerned.

RIDICULES NORDICS

NEW ORLEANS, Speaking
before a predominantly white aud
fence here last Monday, William
Pickens, field secretary of the N.

New Orleans.
Mr.. Pickens ridicuIed the atti-
tude of the zone hundred per cent
pure Nordic," citing anthropolo-
gists who trace the origin Of the
Northern Europeans to a stray
branch Of the Zulu race.
In belittling the South's efforts
to stop miscegenation, he declar-
ed: There are more muIatto ba-
bies in states which forbid inter
racial marriages than in those that
permit them"

MATTER CANNOT
Be TAKEN UP TILL
1ST Of OCTOBER

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Speclll)
"A stay of execution was granted
Monday to Haywood Patterson and
Clarence Norris, two of the nine
colored youths under sentence of
death in the sScottsboro Case" by
the Alabama Supreme Court, on
receipt Of an application for a NJ
hearing for the condemned boys.
The court In confirming the SEN
fences on June %, had fixed Aug
ust 81 as the date of execution,
but on receipt Of the application
for rehearings the sentences were
stayed, as the court is In recess.
Unless special session of thu
court is called, the matter cannot
be taken up until October 1, when
the tribunal reconvenes in regular
session.
Patterson, 81, and Norris, %
are two of nine colored boys ar
rested on charges Of attacking Ru-
by Bates and Victoria Price, two
white girl hoboes, aboard a South
ern Railway freight train in Jack
son County on March %. 1881. The
case has attracted worldwide at
tention due to activities Of Com
munist and Liberal organizations
Three times Patterson has been
convicted by the lower courts
since being arrested in 1881. After
the first conviction of eight of the
group, the case was taken to the
United States Supreme Court,
where the death sentence was set
aside and new trials ordered. At
the second trial of Patterson,
Judge James M. Horton set the
verdict aside as against the weight
of evidence. At the third trial, the
two were tried jointly, for the
crime and convicted despite the
fact that Ruby Bates, one of the
two original complaining witness
es, has retracted her original tes-
timony and testified that Mrs.
Price had concocted the attack
story to prevent arrest as a vag-
rant

Defending the Negro Soldier

AS shown by its long and victor
ious fight for the imprisoned Gath
Infantrymen, the Association has
been ever alert to defend the Ne
gro soldiers.
In 1914, it won freedom, after
only six months Imprisonment for
one Private Anderson of the 25th
Infantry, then in Hawaii, who had
been sentenced by court martial
to five years Imprisonment for
burglariously entering an army Of
ficer's home.
On February %, 1916, it present
ed the Spingarn Medal to Major
(later Colone) Charles Young, u
S. Army, for distinguished service
in developing the constabulary and
the roads of Liberia. This recog-
milton prepared the stage for the
active part played by the MA
C.P. in behalf of the 100000 Negro
officers and men who served dur
ing the World War and afterward.
1t came to the defense of color
ed officers and men forced from
Pullman cars and jailed IN the
South, and sought to make the
War Department take active steps
to prevent the outrages.
IN April 1918, it protested ag-
ainst the infamous order of Major
General c. G. Ballou, advising col
ored officers and men at Camp
Funston, Kansas, not to "go where
they were not wanted" ir'respec-
tive of their citizenship rights, to
avoid alleged encouragement of

were no longer needed. There has
been no dispute between the man
agement and the unions over wag-
