HERR HITLER AND OUR NEGRO ATHLETES

We informed through press correspondents at
tending the Olympic Games at Germany, that Herr
Adolph Hitler appears to have been placed in very en-
barrassng plight by the brilliant victories won by star
Negro athletes from the United States.
In marked contrast to his courteous recognition &C
corded other vctors the contests Chancellor Hitler has
thus far lodged the personally receiving and
graduating Jesse Owens Ralph Metcaf John Woodruff
and the other Negro athletes who brilliant victories
and broke former olympic records in the contests in Ger
many In every instance it reported, Herr Hitler has
found some excuse for Withholding from these Negro
champions the official recognition accorded white vctors
This may be due to Nazi theory of Nordc supremacy
which makes awkward for the Nazi leader to acknow
ledge the athletic supremacy of nonNordc athletes who
are acclaimed victorious in the Olympic contests
At any rate, we gratified to know that Jesse
Owens and the other Negro laurelwinners in the Oym
pic contests have accepted Herr Hiters alleged Sights
in the spirit of real champions and continued to win
victories while all the rest of the world looks and ap
plauds.

What Other
Editors Say
TOUGH DAY FOR NORDICS

1t is to be hoped everybody was
as tickled as we were by Henry
McLemore's cabled story Of how
Old Man Nordic Supremacy took
an awful kicking around at the
Olympic Games last Sunday. The
story dealt with the victories Of
two exceedingly, non-Nordic Amer
| leans whose dark skin did not
prevent them from walking away
with first honors in the 100-meter
sprint and the high jump.
Considering the circumstances,
we suppose there is so single
civilized American, whether "Nor-
die" or not, who would not take
particular pleasure in the outcome
of these events. Der Fuehrer him
self was in the audience and
swastikas were Uttered all over the
place when the pair of dusky con-
testants demonstrated with ease
and finality that Nordic supremacy,
assuming there is such a thing as
a Nordic, is not so supreme as the
Nazis paint it
One might say these American
victories were victories also for
science, which says there are no
Nordics, and for civilization, which
is troubled just now by so many
bizarre ideas of racial superiority.
McLemore reported that the
German crowd in the galleries, to
its everlasting credit, roundly ap-
plauded the outcome. We were sure
the German people, once renowned
for science and civilization, had
not succumbed wholly to the eye
wash ladled out to them by the
present government.-From The
Detroit News.

NEW YORK-(ANP)-A meet
ing of the representative of the
Brotherhood of Dining Car Employ
es, Local No. $40 of the dining
car workers union of the A. F. of
l.. and the management of the
New York Central Railroad was
held in the office of B. j. Bohlen-
der, Supt. Dining Service, here on
July 81, the purpose of which was
to agree a method of balloting to
determine the question of represen-
tation of dining car cooks-waiters
on the Line East of Buffalo. The
A. f. of L. organization has chal-
lenged the brotherhood, incumbent
and representative since 1921. The
brotherhood forced the dining car
workers union to invoke the SER
vices OF the National Mediation
Board, which will finally conduct
a ballot of the men within the next
few months.
Asked what was the attitude Of
the brotherhood, Rienzi B. Lemus,
grand president, said: "Our or
ganization has not been conducted
for my benefit. 1t is for the men,
bers or those who should be men,

to stage a comeback but talk

he is alleged to have said he was
"rich", and that the powers that
be" then told him the Gig was
up" and Vann caught boat for
Europe to be absent" when the
news he knew was coming finally
broke. And a third rumor, the
worst of all, claims that after find
ing he was no longer in favor in
Democratic circles, Vann even tried
to go back to the Republican par
ty. but it is claimed the big mo-
guls there told him nothing doing.
One rumor said Vann offered the
support of his newspaper to the Re
publicans if they would take him
but it is rumored even that was re-
fused.
The fact that Vann, made three
distinct announcements in his
newspaper that Farley "has asked
him" to take the lead in the cam
paign, and the fact that when thu
Farley announcement came, Vanr
was not even in the country, il
causing many politicians to believe
Vann may eventually find himself
"out in the cold" in all politica
camps. Vann, it is known, quit the
Republican party, where he hac
aspired to the office in the Attor'
ney Generals office, to join the
Democratic party. Harlem is now
asking, Will Vann go Red?

Man Cleared of
Attack Charge

BIRMINGHAM, CAMP A virtu-
ally unbelievable spectacle-that OF
a Southern detective chief assign
ing two of his men to establish the
innocence of a Negro identified by
a white woman as her assailant--
has just been witnessed hre and
with freedom for the suspect.
Immediately after a criminal at
tack on Mrs. Sue LEROY in a ceme-
terry early Sunday, Detectives j.
NJ Maynor and Frank Smith ar
rested Joerested aiM,,,Mh bM
rested Joe Gordon, 20, as the as
sailant Mrs. LEROY identified him
as the guilty man. Bur so vehement
that Detective Chief G. C. Giles as
were GOrdin's protests of innocence
signed De.et owes J. y. Bryan 2nG
r. G. Shirley to bring in evidence
supporting the prisoners not gull
ty contention. .."..''
The chiefs action in trying tC
clear up the case in this manner
was almost without precedent, OF
ficers said. There is no record OF
h S procedure having previously
been followed in a similar case in
volving a Negro a d a white
woman. 80. -. -
The two defense" sleuths check
ed Gordons story as to where he
had been Saturday II d Sunday
morning, the time Of the supposed
attack. In My one respect did his
story appear to be weak, and that
was in point of time. At some
places where he asserted he had
stayed a half h u r, witnesses
claimed he was there not over 10
minutes. -. 81. -
But this was in Gordon's favor
The detectives said it was obvious
from this uncertainty of t i m e
that he had not tried to manufac-
ture an alibi. So he went free.
