Mr.. Harvey. with several OF his

The operatives, in describing ex-

They believe they are now 10 jumps

A CALL TO ACTION BY THE

"The struggle against lynching
lies in the fight for the freedom of
the Scottsboro boys. Through the
principles involved in this fight a
path of struggle for the rights of
the Negro people has been opened
up. A Bill for Negro Rights and
for the Suppression of Lynching
has been brought forward by the
League of Struggle for Negro
Rights. These principles have been
endorsed and approved during the
three-and-a-half years fight; and
the recent victory of the stay of
execution and the recent Supreme
Court decision have completely
justified the tactics of the 1. L. D.
Eve point out that the /. L. D.
has let nothing stand in the way of
unity. We call upon all sincere
fighters to let nothing confuse and
divide the growing movement Tor
the freedom of the Scottsboro boys
by building up a solid united
front.
eve therefore appeal to all JUS
tice loving people, to join US at the
Second Conference to be held at
the Phyllis Wheatley Neighborhood
House, 800 Aldrich Ave. No., on

Allen Ready
To Testify At
BrunO's Trial
Amused at Reports That He Was
Missing
Disguised With His Experiences
In The Case
(By United Negro Press)

FLEMINGTON, N. IA MIL
lion or so words flashed today from
the now world famous Hunterdon
County Court House, scene of the
drama crowded Bruno Richard
Hauptmann trial, failed to reveal
in daily papers that William ].
Allen of Trenton, Lindbergh baby
finder, arrived here by automobile
at 9:45 a. M, prepared to testify
when called by the State.
Allen left his home at 43 Roose-
welt Street, Trenton, at 8 a. M,
Friday in the car of one of the
prosecution aides. His cheerful
wife, who had wanted so badly to
accompany her husband, remained
at home because she had thought
she wouldn't be invited. When the
state aide expressed surprise that
she was not going she was sorry
she had not prepared to go.
Although Allen was in Fleming
ton all day Friday he was not
called to the witness stand. Friday
was completely taken up with di-
rect and cross examination of
Colonel Lndbergh, Mrs. Elsie
Whateley, widow of the Lindbergh
butler, and Hopewell Police Officer
Charles E. Williamson.
Although he did not testify Fri
day, Aliens name was called once
from the witness stand by Officer
Williamson.
Under direct examination by At
torney General David A. Willentz
this testimony was as follows:
@. Now officer, on May IL, 1882,
was your attention directed to the
location of body somewhere in
Mercer County? A. Yes.
@. Who directed your attention
to it? A. A colored man by the
udIlC VI w h1dm A11Cu.
Thursday Willentz in his fiery
opening address to the jury of
eight men and four women also
mentioned Allen but not by name.
He said the decaying body of the
Lindbergh baby was found by ga
colored gentleman"
Allen who until today has never
seen Lindbergh face to face, saw
him entering the court house.
The baby finder was served with
a. subpoena Wednesday week
ago, by the state. Disguised with
his own experiences in the entire
case he was not particular about
discussing it any more. He has re-
fused to talk to scores of white
reporters and photographers who
have visited him at his home in
Trenton and at his job there at the
Trenton State Home for Girls.
Allen Amused
Allen, it was learned, has been
much amused and also a little
alarmed over widespread reports
that he was missing. Even We'd
nesday night after this reporter
had left the Allen household a
Philadelphia morning paper on it's
first page said that a high official
Of the prosecution staff had par
tally confirmed a rumor that Allen
was still missing on the first day
of the trial The reporter called
at the papers editorial rooms in
Philadelphia that same night and
submitted a brief statement re-
counting that Allen and his wife
had been interviewed at their Tren-
ton home just few hours before.
The daily, however, has not yet
corrected its statement.
Several reasons are at the basis
of the reported disappearance of
Allen.
Articles have appeared in sew
eral New Jersey newspapers since

People Evince
Interest In
Great Contest
TWIN CITIES AT FEVER HEAT
OVER DODGE CAR CONTEST
By w. M. Smith


of its unheralded drive for new
members among its family of read
ers literally took the two towns by
storm. Many and varied were the
comments upon the daring enter
prise of the publishers in attempt
ing the amazing project of giving
away absolutely without price two
automobiles. They must be toy
cars said some. But then others
pointed out the cars are on display
in Minneapolis and st. Paul, so
they can't be anything else but the
very Dodge vehicles promised.
Doubt Subsidies
After the excitement died down
somewhat and conviction usurped
the place of doubt In the public
mind a different attitude began to
manifest itself. "Good for New
mani" was the meat of that senti-
ment. No one else ever undertook
such a mammoth campaign and his
reputation for doing the unusual
was admitted and commended.
Cities Developed Rivalry
Soon contestants to be began
making inquiries and entry books
were called for. 1t promises to be
pretty battle with st. Paul deter
mined to bring both cars to that
city and Minneapolis equally de-
termined that two new Dodge cars
on the streets of Minneapolis was
just about what its contestants in
that city considered about right.
Of course, the car that will be Civ
en- to some fortunate subscriber
will have to go wherever chance
ordains it and the citizens of Meth
er city can influence that. But the
car the solicitor wins will not go
by chance. 1t will be the success
full work of that solicitor, aided by
the loyal support of friends, that
must decide that mooted point. The
field is open and the contest is
fair; also, the reward is well worth
fighting for. All st. Paul and Min
neapolis may rest assured that the
cars will be given just as the pub
Usher has promised and in exact ac-
cord with the rules outlined in last
weeks papers. So here's to the
best worker. May he or she en-
joy that beautiful Dodge.
Campaign Talk and Questions
One of the questions asked sew
eral times during the past week
and one, the answer to which we
want to make very clear and final,
is this: will the subscriber who has
already taken out a subscription
and paid for it in full or in part,
be entitled to a chance on the car,
and can such subscriber give some
solicitor credit for such subscrip-
ton?
The answer is NO in both cases.
The prizes will be given for new
subscriptions only. An old sub
scriber can take out an additional
subscription to begin when the
present one expires. Such new
subscription will enter him in the
present race and credit for it may
be given to any solicitor whom the
subscriber favors.
Who Can Buy
Notwithstanding we have de-
clared to all and sundry that any
one anywhere can subscribe for
our papers in this contest, the
question continues to be asked:
"Can We sell to anyone except
members of our own group" And
the answer to that one is: Yes, in
deed-you can sell to your grocer,
your baker, your butcher, your coal
man, your oil man-to any of the
people with whom you spend YOUR
money and who will be glad to do
something for you in return. In

subject of statewide search by
the Attorney Generals Office.
The prosecutors staff has been
consistently vague on Aliens actual
location, though admitting he was
an important witness.
1t was proven Friday in Trenton
that star reporters stopping in
Trenton hotels believed Allen has
been kept a virtual prisoner by
the state. The United Negro Press
established confidential informa-
ton source in Trenton recently to
report on possible developments
that might not come out at the
trial because Negroes were in
volved. A whispered call from this
source came through Friday eve
ming as follows: "Some of the big
shot reporters insist Allen is being
kept hidden somewhere" This was
the general belief up until Friday
in white newspaper circles. An
other reason has contributed to the
Allen disappearance report. 1t is
Allen himself. He has locked his
home and his quarters, while at
work, against all white newspaper
and moving picture people and has
even refused to discuss the case
with Federal and State authorities.
After a person becomes Disguised
with situation and is yet continu
ally pestered with inquirers, he is
simply mot at home" when they
call. Being continually mot at
home" or mot at work" when these
people call would naturally give
rise to the report that Allen had
left the city.
AS a matter of fact he is still in
Trenton as always. It speaks well
for the Negro Press that only a
colored reporter can gain access to
Allen these days.
Since May IL, 1882, on the after
noon of which Allen found the dead
baby in thicket off the Mt. Rose
Road near Hopewell, his experiences
in the Lindbergh case have thor
oughly Disguised him. At first
he envisioned some kind of acclaim.
not necessarily financial, but mere
ly recognition. In all these months
he has received neither.
Show Stopped 4
Then, employing Austin Norris
of Philadelphia, as his counsel, he
entered into what was hoped to be
a theatrical contract. This ended
up as an act in a circus sideshow
where in his wife's words che was
expected to act the fool" and tell
about the baby finding. Even this
came to grief in Coney Island a
few months later when Lindbergh
himself asked that the act be
stopped, which it was. Allen made
nothing out of it; in fact, he be-
came stranded at Coney Island and
had to wait there until his man
ager travelled to Brooklyn to find
fare to send Allen home.
Because of a protest by promi-
nent Trenton citizens to Governor
A. Harry Moore, Allen did finally
land the job at the State Home for
Girls in Trenton. He still has this
job and that means lot.
Aliens chief complaint is that as
the baby's finder white papers and
other media expect him to pose for
pictures and make statements for
nothing. He is far from being a
man who wants money for every
thing but he has seen so many
other people make money from the
case that he feels he should at
least get a cigar or two. Long ago
he decided that all he wanted was
to be left alone.
He and Mrs. Allen are eager fol-
lowers of every development in the
case itself, however. They can call
the names of all the principals,
