7 GIRLS S|NGED
BY MATCHES

Two little girls, who late yester-
day played with matches while
their parents were on a shopping
trip were resting comfortably" at
Casualty Hospital today while
doctors treated them for second
degree burns.
The girls, Evelyn, 5, and Do2is
Pruitt, 3, had taken a box OF
matches to a shed in the rear OF
their home at 2 Barnes Pl. N. E.
Their fun turned to fright, how
ever, when newspapers on the
floor became ignited.
But when they sought escape,
the sheds door had become
damned, and the flames singed
their faces and hands before
neighbors, responding to their
frantic cries, broke the door down.

All efforts by the authorities to
describe fleet movements as "rou-

were discounted because it is
known that original intentions
called for fleet practice off Scot
land, not in the Mediterranean.
Further evidence that Britain
has taken up "Italy's challenge
to Britannia's naval dominance
in the Mediterranean" was seen
in the stretching of a boom de-

across the admiralty harbor here,

BOSTON URBAN LEAGUE
HEAD FLAYS CRITICS
OF LUNDEEN BILL

New York-(CNA)- George w.
Goodman, executive secretary Of the
Boston Urban League, issued a state
ment last week criticizing the D
nents of the Lundeen Workers Bill.
HR 1927, at the last conference of the
Urban League in Pittsburgh.
He declared that three main fac
tors came out of this meeting:
First, Urban League sec
~retaries have come suspiciously close
to joining the ranks of fullhedged
Uncle Toms. Secondly, any in
fluence exerted By the Urban
League in the matter Of social in
surance will come through the in
d-vidual branches, and thus, seven
men represent but a fraction.
Third, it is gratifying that such
men as Johnson Of Atlanta, Hill Of
Pittsburgh, Elzey Of Brooklyn,
Lewis of Baltimore, Granger Of
80" 1OAh dlIu hdSIdIiu Oh On1O,
have the courage Of their own con-
v.ctions still"
The secretaries named as having
the courage of their own convictions
voted approval of the Lundeen Bill
and against the Wagner-Lewis Ad-
ministration Bill. The Lundeen bill
includes the 5000, 900 Negro workers
in America, while the Wagner-Lewis
bill excludes them.
Mr.. Goodman also sharply attacked
DR.. Frank Tyson, white, member of
the faculty of the University of Pitts
burgh, who called the Lundeen bill
a "red measure" and slandered all the
supporters of the bill as "red propa-
gandists".
Although the regional conference
did not approve Of the Lundeen bill
in name, the most militant members
of the session put through a proposal
that the conference should endorse
g bill containing the basic provisions
Of the Lundeen bill.

SENATOR LEWIS TELLS NEW
YORK DEMOCRATIC CLUB A
NEGRO DIALECT STORY

Washington-(CNS)- James Ham
ilton Lewis, Democratic senator from
Illinois, spoke before a Democratic
Club in New York City, last week, and
his speech was broadcast. He opened
with a revamped story of the Negro
applicant for a position Of letter car
rier. According to Mr.. Lewis the Ne
gro applicant was asked: "How far
is it from the earth to the moon?"
and replied-"Boss, if you'se gwine to
ak me to tote that'er route, l don't

The story is more than thirty years
old. AS originally told by an anti
Civil Service Congressman the story
ran as follows:

bright young colored applicant sat in

representatives of various cults, all

Which Way to God?"
This brings to nj nd the denomina-
tional aggregations with their sectar-
ian creeds, a~ntagonistic attitudes,
boastful contentious, clashing Of in
t%erests, and the manifest intolerance
OF some cults toward all others.
1t must be confusing to the COM
mon people to note these differences
in UNCONVENTIONAL tenets. They al:
most amount to different gods, for
the God of Calvinism with His preor-
dination is out of harmony with the
God of Arminianism which stresses
freedom of the will, freedom of action
and personal responsibility.
Even in the mission fields. and
among the very heather are these diff
ferences emphasized. And to these
heathens such contradictory, antago-
nistic and incongruous attitudes must
be confusing and d~iscourag.ngl Real

the requirements Of their inner nature.
sensing their need for somethin.
which it cannot supply, being con-
WINGED that these things come from
God, many are seeking Him and ask
ng, (Which way to God?"
One sect presents Calvinism and
says to find God you must be one of
the elect. From another comes the
declaration of free moral agency and
individual responsibility. One sect
places all emphasis on "the new birth"
while another says one can gradually
grow into goodness. And so so the di-
vergencies go on almost ad infnitum.

NATIVE AFRICAN CHILDREN
DRIVEN LIKE OXEN

Johannesburg, SO. Africa-By
Mail to CNA-Startling revela-
lions of the bestial treatment of
Native children on the farms in
the Natal district has recently ap-
peared in the local press. These
farms are controlled by British
interests.
Mr.. Peachy, white, author of
the articles, cited numerous in
stances where children were COM
PEELED to carry huge baskets of
farm produce that would easily
lax the strength Of an adult. For
example, he related the incident
Of a IA year old girl who came
to his house with a basket. The
load was 50 heavy that he him
self had to exert all his strength
to lift it.
In many instances the employ
ers would send the children away
without breakfast. This inhuman
treatment was to provide the
children with an incentive to sell
the goods faster in order to re-
turn to the farm for food. The
children would have to plead with
hOuseholders to buy their wares
or TO give them food.
1t was not an uncommon sight
to see children begging for a few
moments permission to resi- their
aching little bodies in someone's
back yard stated Mr. Peachy.
"The Police can charge you
with overlooking a horse or a don
key, but their authority in this
respect does not include children.
