WHITE
WORKERS CELEBRATE
ON DINGAAN'S DAY

JOHANNESBURG, S. Africa
(CNA)-More than 1000 Native
and white workers gathered in
the suburbs Of the town to honor
the memory of Dingaan, African
revolutionary and to pledge I'M
ceas;ng struggle against the pass
laws and for the national liber-
ton Of the Native masses
Demonstration Foil Police
The organizers of the demon
stra ion successfully defeated the
attempts of the police to utilize
the Urbans Area Act to prevent
the celebration. This act segrega-
ties the Native t%oilers into loca-
tons miles away from Johannes
burg. making it difficult to hold
meetings in the center of the
town.
This handicap was overcome by
using a motor car bearing pla-
cards and banners and a group
of Native and white speakers. The
car visited the various locations.
For National Liberation
The workers were addressed by
Roux, Kotane, Rudma nand Ram
utla, who stressed the burning
need of unity Of Native and white

DIR. LennOx Addresses
School Board

Dir. G. B. Lennox and Mrs. Maha-
mitt attended the meeting Of the
School Board on the sixth floor of the
City Hall in the interest. Of the people
OF our group. DR.. Lennox addressed
the Board with the object Of prevent
ing the raising the levy Of taxpayers.
He asked how the people were expect
ed to pay taxes when the majority is
unmployed, and they never receive
their pro rata of consideration in the
form of employment from any bust
ness they support.
Our girls and boys go to school
with members of other groups, but
the employment furnished for them is
not chosen in accord with their de-
gree o. education. They may grad
uate with a rating higher than or as
high as members Of other groups, but
the only jobs they get are in the kitch-
en-, as a mad, or as a janitor. The
Jobs are not given on the merit Of the
individual. as that Fair?" asks DR..
Lennox.
We realize that the teachers are
anxious to receive the money. of
which they are in need, and we know
it would be the right thing for them
to have it. But at the present time
the taxpayers are not able to meet
the demands. II feel that this none
could be obtained through delinquent
personal taxes, which I believe will be
collected, and the revenue on liquor,
since the passage Of that bill, will
mount up a great deal"
DR.. Lennox asked that the Board be
considerable, knowing the d~eplorable
state Of conditions. He stated that
when jobs were plentiful, they tried
to meet the demands by paying taxes
and not from any consideration we re-
ceived nor from our pro rata of en-
ployment, but from jobs they got
through Providence.
Under these circumstances he urged
them not to raise the levy at this
time.

the Prophet of old was speaking Of
when, while surrounded by a multi
tude of men, he cried, 81 am looking
for a mani" He was Gods man., and
to be Gods man, one must be a mar
to all Gods people.

Election of Officers Tuesday, January
IL, At Urban Center.

Last Tuesday night an enthusiastic
meeting of the Citizens Law Enforce
ment Committee was held at the Ur-
ban Center, 2213 Lake Street, with
Police Commissioner Frank Myers as
the principal speaker. The meeting
Tuesday night was the first of a series
of meetings to be held at the Center
this winter under the auspices Of this
Committee, the object of which is to
arouse the people to a higher sense Of
responsibility Of law enforcement, es-
pecially against the increasing num-
Der of homicides as was perpetrated
against Negroes by Negroes in 1884.

speaker, stressed the methods of ap-
pretending and getting confessions
from those charged with crime, es-
pecially where all the evidence points

much money is saved the taxpayers in
long drawn-out trials. He pledged the
support of himself and the Depart
ment in the suppression Of the crime
of murder, which has reached such a
serious stage.

A friend purchased a small vase on

On another floor of the same store,
she found the same vase at about
double that price.
The same thing occurred with un-

STOCK AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated HTeSS FINANCIAL WrlteI.
NEW YORK, October 3.-Moderate
advances were the rule in today's
stock market, but trading turned dull
after a fast start.
Wall Streets attention was directed
almost wholly TO the African war
crisis and, while yesterdays nervous
ness appeared to have been alleviated
somewhat, speculative forces general
ly held to the sidelines.
Gamers of fractions to around a
point included American Telephone,
United States Steel, General Motors,
Chrysler. Auburn. Case, Westinghouse,
Owens-Illinois, Consolidated Gas, Co.
lumbia Gas, Greyhound Corp, New
York Central, Delaware g. Hudson,
Kennecott, Anaconda and United
States Smelling. Among the losers
were International Business Machines,
of 3, and Air Reduction and Cerro
De Pasco, down about l each. The
late tone was steady. Transfers APP
proximated 100000 shares.
The early recovery was in line with
expectations voiced by most market
analysts who felt that yesterdays SELL
ing probably was overdone and that
short covering. and some reinvestment
demand, would necessarily help to
stem the downward trend.
At the same time the majority Of
commentators we're none too bullish,
many feeling that the clashing of
Italian and Ethiopian ornaments is
bound to spread and that a general
conf1agration may be touched off at
any moment.
In addition to the foreign crisis.
however, brokers pointed out that a
shakedown was due because Of techni-
cal considerations developing out Of
the broad and sustained recovery
movement, as we'll as the tendency Of
many stock traders to VT and see
to what extent the upturn during the
past six months may have already
discounted the anticipated business
and industrial activity this Fall and
Winter.
The heavy foreign liquidation Of
stocks which accompanied the out.
break of the World War was not in
evidence. Commission houses with
foreign connections reported there
was about as much buying as selling
from abroad.
