NAAGP CONSIDERS
A SWING TO LEFT
At CONVENTION

ST. LOUIS, Mo. II A definite
swing to the left win be the course
taken by the NAACP in the fu-
ture, if the reorganization pro-
gram brought forward for consid-
Grafton by the national conven- ion
in session here, is adopted IL lis
entirety.
The program of the association
hitherto has dealt exclusively with
civil liberties, and economic prob
lens have been only incidental to
this struggle.
The new program calls for mi
litant invasion of the economic
field and adopts some of the prin-
ciple arguments of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense in that it
will no longer look upon colored
labor as aligned again white labor
but as a part of the whole Ameri-
can industrial scheme. This will
call for an educational program to
eradicate the hatreds between the
working classes and make a bid
for unity.
The new program win attempt
to show that the races disadvan-
tages are but a more extreme ma
nifestation of the exploitation of
labor
New Structure
Along with the broadening of
policy, the association also propos-
es to change its structure, which

LOUIS LIFE TALE
LIKE REAL FICTION


NEW YORK Twenty-one years
ago little mite came to join
four other youngsters at the Ala
bama cabin of cottonpicker Mum
Barrow.
Barrow looked at the baby with
out dreaming that some day he'd
grow to rugged manhood, and as
Joe Louis thump his way out of
his squalid surroundings to fistic
prominence and wealth.
Two years later the father, deep
in debt, died. After some lean
years, Lily Barrow packed up her
brood and moved to Detroit.
At IL, Joe worked after school
carrying ice, and at IA he quit the
grammar school to enter q voca-
tional institution and learn cabinet
making.
One day classmate, a fair am
ateur, invited Joe to don gloves.
He proved to be a poor opponent,
but that experience awakened in
him desire for ring action.
In 1918 he entered the amateur
prize ring, opposed Johnny Miller,
and receiving a thorough lacing.
He went on however, to run up a
string of IS consecutive knockout
victories.
Less than year age, he made
his professional debut, and won %
straight victories, 10 of them by

Princess Reveals Philippians Have

NEW YORK When italy

boys viii be the victors, although
the struggle win be long drawn
out, according to Princess Neshla
Tamanya, an Ethiopian-born mem
Der of royalty who has become
known in this country as singer
OF unusual talent.
Miss Tamanya, as the princess
likes to be called in America, is
sure the war viii take place as
soon as the rainy weather of Eth
iopia has abated in September, and
she is just as sure that when the
total score is in, her native coun-
try will be on the long end
And why viii Ethiopia win?
Water Problem
Because the Italian soldiers
cannot live without water, and
they win not be able to live on the
water we are going to prepare for
them; because my people will go
to the mountains the high noun
tains, and even the Italian airplane
will not be able to fly over them, "
Miss Tamanya declared.
I'VE will poison the waters Of
the rivers" she continued, and,
then there is 'ahash.' The Ethiop-
ians. they eat it; they breath the
gas of war and it cannot hurt them
but the Italian soldiers viii not be
able to Withstand it. Ahash does
not grow in any other country"

"After aII,y the man from

that the TenDesseean is right. The

"Ahash,' Of which the princess
spoke, is a mystery so far as mill
tary science is concerned and stor-
les of it's headlines is scorned by
those who cannot see how even a.
hash can be so deadly - oppon-
ents and just the opposite to nat
ives.
However, not only Miss Taman-
va but also other educated Ethiop-
ians have been relating quietly
how ahash will be a great factor
when, and as, and if Italy wars on
Ethiopia.
Princess Tamanya will leave for
her home kingdom next January,
whether there is war in Ethiopia
or not. But she likes America and
the freedom of American women,
and the opportunity America gives
her to use her lyric soprano voice
in concert work. Back in her home
province of Wallaga, women be-
long to the home; they cannot es-
cape or home to carve career on
the concert or any other kind of
stage.
Miss Tamanya is graduate of
Tererralassa College in Egypt and
speaks Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish,
Italian, French and German, in adj
dition to English which she is mas
tering commends.bly She wears
the colorful garb of the Falasha
tribe.

CALENDAR OF NEW ENGLAND IS BADLY MIXED BY STORM

Boston, April 10-(UP)--Sting. ing sleet, snow fiurries and gales scrambled the calendar in New England today as wintry weather replaced the usual April showers that bring May flowers" Mark Twain's observation that New England's weather is always doing something" never was better dem onstrated than during the past "A hours when this section was treatr cd to almost every possible quirk of the elements. Two deaths-one in Marlboro and the other in Rev. erly---were attributed indirectly to the unreasonable storms.
 Fresh storm warnings went up along the coast today after a 54- mile gale had driven most craft to port and caused heavy damage on the seaboard and in inland com. munities. So powerful was the northeast wind that sailor was blown overheard from a tug in Quincys Town river, and a woman was whisked from the steps of Deer Island jail in Boston harbor.
 Throughout greater Boston, trees and poles were felled. and half of suburban Maiden was in darkness for hours last night. Hundreds of umbrellas. blown inside out. Ht- tered the streets. In Quincy, a century-old elm on the Castor es- tate was uprooted. At Lynn, a 40- foot factory chimney collapsed. Heeding storm warnings, most ships escaped the brunt of the gale. Only two vessels pot out from Boston harbor last night.
 The weather bureau predicted that the storms would diminish by late afternoon. with temperatures in the middle sos tonight.

 There are hundreds more of these dots on the great map, all of them danger spots in the war chests, and all of them subject to the critical analysis of the spies who are constantly at work in them.
 Between whatever world powers the "next war" takes place, these little islands, whose natives have never seen a machine gun nor an airplane, will be an important fac- tor. The index files of secret Eu- ropean information bureaus are being filled with facts about them. Here. cocoanut grove could be converted into an airplane base.
