their offence, to Father Williams, it
mattered not. He was big enough
and broad enough to still pour his
heart full of live, hope and kindness
out on his misunderstanding friends

Will Rogers Called
Down by H.A.A.C.P

NEW YORK, January 3O-Wnl
Roger is free to insult anyone or
anything over the ain, it became
known here this week following the
storm Of protest over the comedians
use Of the word "nigger" in his Sun
day night so-called humorous
broadcast over the WIZ network of
the National Broadcasting company.
According to the radio editor Of
the New York World Telegram,
neither the NBC or the Gulf Rein
ing company, which hires Rogers,
has the right to interfere with the
comedians talks. He is said to have
an agreement which permits him abb
solute freedom.
Nevertheless, protests have been
sent by the thousands to NBC and
some to the Gulf Refining company
at its headquarters in Pittsburgh,
Pa. The NAACP. ~telegraphed the
Gulf company at Pittsburgh and
wrote the NBC and Cecil, Warwick
and Cecil, the advertising firm at 23O
Park avenue, New York City, which
handles the radio advertising for
Gulf Refining. An apology ove the
air was demanded by the NAACP.
Roy Wilkins, NAACP. assistant Sc
cretary, said many protests had been
sent the NAACP., but urged persons
to write directly to R. J. Flood, Gulf
Refining Company, Pittsburgh, Pa,
for greater effect. The Mellon inter
ests control the Gulf company.

In Memory Of One
Who Served

The late Rite, Rev. John Albert
Williams, who served Omaha for more
than forty-fve years is not dead. He
will never die. His name may be for
gotten by our third generation of
Omaha, but his teachings, his broad
Kindness, his to say no to any
one in need, his loving Council, his
big h~eartedness, can never die. The
old frame may be called to rest and
may decay, but the spirit of such a
life as Father John A. Williams lived
in Omaha toward his fellow-men can
never die. There may have been
some who did not believe in his
methods of doing things as he
thought was for the best interest of
the Omahans, and in their hearts

Fired For Part In
Lynehing

NEW YORK, January 30.-Robert
Hancock, acting postmaster at Glen
dale, Tennessee, whose automobile
was one of the two used in the alb
duction and lynching of Cordie Cheek
on December Is, is now among the
unemployed following demands Of
the National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People to Post
master General James A. Farley for
his discharge.
A letter received today from w.
w. Howes, first assistant postmaster
general, by Walter White, the Asso-
cations secretary, reads:
GAS the result of an investigation
partment has decided to make a
change in the postmastership and
telegraphic instructions have been
issued to a post office Inspector to
install Mr.. Chesley Porter Cheek as
acting postmaster at Glendale to dis
place Mr.. Robert Hancock"
1t seems rather poetic justice that
the last name of the new Glendale
postmaster is the same as that of the
lynched Negro who had been dis
charged by the Maury County,
Tennessee, grand jury on a charge of
attempted assault on a white child.

FATHER WILLIAMS

A year ago today
Our Shepherd was called away,
He was our guide, our guard, our friend
And was faithful to the end.
Truly a minister of Christ was he
And all that a diciple of His should be,
So enshrined in every heart
Of our lives he was a part.
His tender smile and gentle voice
Made many a saddened heart rejoice.
All doubts and fears were allayed
When'er Father Williams prayed,
The burden grew lighter,
The way looked brighter,
He made us see the light OF day
In his friendly Christian way.
Father Williams was never known to shirk
A task in his religious work,
He labored earnestly and faithfully,
Until his work was done,
And just at the close of day
He heard the Saviour say,
Faithful servant, Well done!
Come-Inherit the Kingdom"

Race OF Superiority
Theory is Faction
Says Russell

New York, Jan. 26.-In a chapter
startling in its frankness, Charles
Edward Russell, in his new book
Bare Hands and Stone Walls (Scrib-
ner's N. Y. G3), n of the founders
of the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People and
a member of it's board of directors,
discusses the formation and achieve
ments of the Association and the po-
sition Of the Negro in America.
Taking them by and large, he
writes, men are the same regardless
Of complexion, or shape of nose or
curl of hair. The only real differ
ences among them are differences of
opportunity. Theories Of the super
Tor and the inferior race are mere
fictions".
Speaking Of conditions in the
South, Mr.. Russell writes: "The re-
suits have been disastrous upon
whites and blacks alike. Nay, they
have been worse upon the whites
Always the hater loses more than the
hated. The Negroes in the South :.
have freer souls than the men that
prosecute them, immeasurahly freer
The emancipation Of the Negro
from the conditions imposed upon
him by hatred and prejudice will take
time but it will come. Think how
long it took to end slavery

Seeing White by

Seeing white denies to the black
man equal opportunity for cultural
advancement and yet blames him for
ignorance, and this is palpably un-
just. It is well known that in no
place where there are separate
schools for Negroes are those schools
equal to those for whites. Even in
Northern states where he is admitted
to schools with whites, as a general
thing he is ostracized and Inundated
in order to discourage his attendance.

A Monster Hog

A hog that weighed $40
pounds, dressed was slaughter
ed by Tom Gates one day last
week on his farm four miles out
on the Hillsboro road Many Of
his neighbors trooped in to gaze
upon and admire it.
The hogshead in which Mr.
Gates attempted TO do the scald-
ing was not large enough for the
operation. TO get the hair off
the hide the farmer and his
helpers had to lay the hog on
the ground and empty buckets Of
boiling water upon it.
The hog was a boar Of the
Hampshire breed.

Green Car Skids off Road

Paul Green's car skidded off
the road near Brevard in the
mountains one day in Christmas
week Fortunately the slope was
not precipitous, as it was at
many other places along the
road, and no harm resulted.
However, it made the three wo-
men in the car, mothers Of nine
children, do some serious think
ing about the value Of their
lives. They divulged their
thoughts to Mr.. Green. Now he
has resolved to go very slowly
when the road is slick, or, per
haps, not to go out at all on a
wet day if in the mountains and
if with a cargo Of mothers.

about it before they form an
opinion

Children Star In
''Broken Shoes" New
Soviet Film Due Soon

Nazi Germany is the locale for
Broken Shoes" the new Soviet
film to be released in this coun-
try early in March.
Following closely the recent
struggle in Austria, France and
Spain, this film gives a stirring pic
ture of the social forces behind
those movements, stressing for the
first time the role played by chill
dren.
Broken Shoes" might be called a
children's picture as the cast is COM
posed mostly of children from eight
to fourteen years old. But 1t is
more than that. 1t is a human
document showing how the strug-
giles of their fathers affect the chill
dren and how through the children
these struggles have been carried
inside the school rooms, out on the
Fairgrounds and on the streets. 1t
is a timely epic of children in po-
litically-torn Europe.
Margarita Barskaya directed
Broken Shoes her first film. But
her skill and experience as director
Of the famous Moscow Childrens'
Theatre, with which she was asso-
ciated for many years, is revealed

ance of the children players in this
