For The New Year

By r. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

For all His blessings from
above,
So freely given,
For all His benefits, for which
We have not striven,
With hearts and voices in &C
cord,
We should give thanks unto the
Lord.
Such sentiments of gratitude
Our hearts should fill,
Amid the old years closing
hours,
That linger still;
For He's been merciful and
kind,
While we We're sinful, weak, and
blind.
And, if tits granted us to live
Through coming days,
The blessings of the Lord en-
joy,
In devious ways,
Our thankfulness we should
express
Promoting human happiness.

Off the Advancement of Colored
People in a cablegram he sent
this week to the League of Ma
lions at Geneva.
Pointing out that the Hoare-
Laval-Mussolini pact would lead
to greater disatser in the future,
White urged that the robber
agreement be rejected.
His cablegram read:
ANY settlement based on par
titioning Ethiopia may bring
temporary peace but will newt
ably create a situation which will
lead to greater disatser. Eyes

Project Will Employ
Seventy Youths Of
Relief Families
WORK APPROVED

A project to conduct a City
wide suvery of the recreational,
religious, and leisure time ac-
tivity facilities in Omaha was
presented by Mr.. Bernard E.
Squires, Executive Secretary of
the Urban League Community
Center of Omaha, to the State
Director of the National Youth
Administration. The project has
been approved and Mr.. Squires
has been appointed to super
wise the project which will en-
ploy about 70 young people an
swering the requirements of the
n. Y. A.
All agencies working with
young people have been handi-
capped in planning a reerea-
tional program because of lack
of knowledge of existing facil-
tiles and activities. A project
of this kind will provide ac-
curate and complete informa-
ton concerning the whole re-
creational system in Omaha.
With a directory of information
available, private agencies,
churches and schools will be
better able to improve and ex-
pand their own programs
avoiding duplication, centraliz-
ing activities and developing a
program which will more ade-
quately meet the needs of the
young people.
After the information is Sc
cured and assembled, a compil-
ed report will be furnished all
agencies, Libraries and schools
through the Council of Social
Agencies, which will make
recommendations for al i'm
proved recreational program.
The Council will also appoint
a volunteer committee to make
additions and corrections peri
odically in order that the sur
uey may be kept current and
available for use at all times.
One of the valuable features
of this project is that it will
promote a better racial feeling
between Colored and White
people. About IA per cent of the
persons employed will be Ne
groes. Mr.. Squires will super
wise the project, which will be
housed in the Urban League
Community Center.

EXPEL WHITE
CHAUVINIST
THIS WEEK
Communist Party Act
As Member Shows
Discrimination
HARLEM PROJECT

tanning a n cnauNlnlSC TAN
ti-Negro) attitude on a Federal
Negro Theater Project, Jerry
Werlin, white amateur actor, was
expelled from the Communist
party last week.
The action was taken after
Werlin had himself appointed
Senior Project supervisor of a Ne
gro Theater project which was
subsequently, sponsored by the
Harlem Branch of the National
Urban League. The Communist
party held that Werlin should
have fought for the appointment
of a Negro to this position"
Communist Leader
Explains Action.
James w. Ford, Communist
leader and organizer of the Har-
lem Communist party, in an inter-
view given December 18th, made
the following statement: "Werlin
placed himself at the head of the
Negro Peoples Theater project
when he knew that there are
scores of Negroes of Harlem who
are qualified to hold leading posi-
lions in the theater or in any 9TH
err enterprise. The ability and tai
ent of the Negro people is par
ticularly outstanding in the cul-
tural field. Werlin went so far as
to repeat the trite, worn but
Islander of the ruling class that it
is necessary to appoint whites in
executive and leading positions
because there were no Negroes
capable of filling such positions.
"Werlin as a Communist, should
have led in the fight against this
discrimination against Negroes.
He should have fought to have
Negroes in the leadership of a Me-
gro Theater Project. Instead of
this, he supported the policy of
discrimination against Negroes
and showed a very arrogant atti-
tude toward the Negroes ON the
project"
Ford stated that the "Commun-
list party is the leader of the fight
against every type of discrimina-
ton against Negroes" "The
Communist party will not toler-
ate in its ranks a member who
practices the very evil which OPP
presses Negroes and which our
party seeks to Destroy" Ford con-
tinued.
Harlem Dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction spread over
Harlem as a result of Werlin's
ARROGANT assumption of leader
ship of a Negro Theater Project
Many leaders and organizations
withheld their support of the pro-
ject, until in had been placed I'M
der Negro leadership.
AS a result of the numerous
protests sent to the project Off
cials, Werlin was removed and
eight of the nine leading execu-
tive positions on the Project are
now held by Negroes. Werlin
was replaced by Carlton Moss,
talented young New York actor
and radio star. Moss has starred
in several Negro motion pictures.
On Dec. 18th, the District Com
mittee of the Communist party
published a statement in the
Daily Worker Communist organ,
which read in part as follows:
"Werlin is a 'would-be' artist
who seeks to use the desire of the
Negro people for cultural express
sion for his own selfish pvr~oses.
We brand him an enemy ths
working class, and an en-. of
the Negro people. The District
Committee expel Jerry Werlin
from the Communist party"
