NEW YORK.-(CNA)-The gov
ernments of the states fo Florida and
Alabama and the local authorities in
volved have lifted no finger to ap
prehend the members Of the mob that
lynched Claude Neal, % year old Ne
gro, in the most brutal manner IN
Marianna. Fla, on October r.
"There is no basis for federal in
tervention," was the statement OF
Attorney General Cummings in an
sver to demands that the federal
government prosecute the lynchers
under the "Lindbergh Law" which
provides the death penalty for IN
terstate kidnappers. The fact thai
Neal was kidnapped across the state
line to Florida. is sufficient basis for
federal action.
Whitewashes Sheriff
Meanwhile, Governor Dave Schlotz
Of Florida has absolved Sheriff W.
F. Chambliss for his part in tbs
lynching.
In answer to the thousands OF or
~panizations an individuals protestins

phed a statement and sent it out fol
distribution. In this statement, ne as
sumes the guilt of Neal on the rape
charge. although Neal had not yet
been tried. He also states that the
lynching was quite unnecessary" as
his state has an excellent record Tor

FERA INSISTS ON NEGRO
TEACHERS FOR RACE
IN T III Z SOUTHLAND

Especial to The Omaha Guide)
That Negroes be given a fair share
Of the emergency education funds was
included in a memorandum sent State
Relief Administrators a n d State
School officers this week by Aubrey
Williams, Assistant Federal Emer.
gency Relief Administrator. according
to Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in
Educational Relief for Negroes.
This memorandum is another evil
dence Of the continued desire of the
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration to have Negroes share fairly
in the benefits of the emergensy re-
lief program. It sites that the at
tention Of the Administration had
been directed to the fact that in sew
eral areas and States. funds of I'M
employment relief have not been al
lotted to educational projects in such
e way as to give enjoyment to Ne
groes in proportion to their probable
needs.
Accordingly, the statement contin-
ues, the State administrators are res
ponsible school officers are expected
to distribute employment paid out Of
FERA relief funds on a basis of needs
with complete equity among the
groups concerned.
Attention is also called to the psac-
tice in certain Southern communities
of employing white teachers to teach
negro students in the emergency edu-
cation projects. On this point the
memorandum was direct and speci-
fic. "Negro teachers should always
be employed to teach Negro pupils
and Negro adults, in States maintain
ing segregated school programs for
the two races"
The memorandum follows in full:
To State Relief Administrators and
State Chieef School Officers:
"The attention of this Administra-
ton has been directed to certain facts
showing that in several areas and
States. funds for unemployment re-
lief have not been alltted to projects
such as repairs of school buildings,
organization Of classes under the
emergency educational program and
the extension Of school terms in such
way as to give employment to Ne
groes in proportion to their probable
needs.
"The purpose Of the Relief Admin
istration is to give employment to
those in need and to rehabilftate the
human resources of the Nation. Ac-
cordingly, THE State administrators
and responsible school officers are ex-
pected to Distribute employment paid
for out of relief funds On a basis of
needs with complete equity among
the groups concerned.
"Since, in proportion to population,
unemployment among Negroes is
equal to, If not efen greater than.
unemployment among other groups,
for Negroes are notably inadequate,
demands that educational re-
lief to Negroes be at least at the |
level of their percentage Of the popu-
lation in each State.
"Since a chief purpose Of the
emergency education program is to
give employment to qualified teach
ers and since unemployment among
Negroes IL especially aeuta.
Negro teachers Should always be en-
ployed to teach Negsc pupils and
Negro adults. in States maintaining
school prsgrams for the
races. ~

mentS Friday in connection with its
application for 100000 for school
buildings, it was stated.
One of the most novel explanations
made by the delinquents was that the
city of st. Louis. Mo-. which wrote
Ickes that the board of aldermen has
been quite liberal in taking vacations
recently. and the result is that all leg
islation has been delayed, and they are
now swamped." This information came
from Baxter L. Brown, president Of the
Board of Public Service. The city has
asked for $4,000 for a municipal au-
ditorium.
Public works officials yesterday said
they believed there Is no reason why
bond contracts and grant agreements
should not be executed and returned
within 10 days or two weeks after re-
ceirN, and that the response to Ickes'
warning bears out that opinion.
