Horoscope ..'The stars incline
 but do not compeP'
TUESDAY, APRIL 2s, 1s3S

TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1856
 Adverse aspects rule today ac- cording to astrology. The wise will finish business affairs instead of beginning important projects.
 Industry is likely to be severely hampered by labor troubles all through the summer months, for Saturn frowns upon certain inn portant business interests.
 Propaganda that implants so- phistries and disturbing teachings will be widely distributed at this time when political dissensions will encourage unrest and discontent. Libel suits may attract wide at tention this month. The tongue, the pen and the typewriter should be safeguarded against thoughtless or evil words. Radio difficulties will be numerous.
 This should be a fortunate day for seeking appointments or promo tions. Persons who occupy posi- tions in the Sun now will need many loyal supporters. This ap- plies to business and politics.
 Popularity is indicated for a young man who will suddenly win approv- al. The summer will be marked by the ends of many long careers and the beginnings of promising new ones.
 Success is prognosticated for q naval officer who will present wise counsel to the government. Large expeditions in defense projects will be justified, astrologers forecast.
 Women will be happy in pursuing social and intellectual pastimes. Clubs are well directed by the stars. Librarians should be lucky.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of perplexities to which strangers may contribute. Experiments or. ventures probably will be unlucky.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly self-reliant and serious. Subjects of this sign often succeed in intellectual pursuits. Robert Bonner, journalist, was born on this day 1924. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Ezra Abbott, Bible scholar, 1819; Zebulon Reed Broadway, pen logist, 1927.

Purple Team-Anchoraee
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-03-21

The concluding sentence of the
article reads: "The danger to the
South is not that Negroes and
whites will join for common pur-
poses, but that they will be de-
layed In joining by the effects of
exaggerated fear spread down
from the few who can be rerma-
nently injured by the movement"
Coming back to the University
of North Carolina, we find "The
Daily Tar Heel, "the only college
daily in the South" carrying a
first page story of a debate on
Negro education between U. Of
N. c. and the University of Geor-
gia. The U. Of N. c.. team took
the affirmative on the question:
Resolved, That Negroes must be
admitted to state universities.
The encouraging thing is that the
Georgia boys failed to drag in the
old stock arguments against the
Negro, merely saying that they
felt he would be better off in his
own schools. The N. G. boys
routed them with the expense ar
gument, that the South is unable
to adequately support two school
systems.

The fact that the recent at

Where the groundwork has been

r E S ULT OF
COMPLAINT
TO NAACP

NEW YORK-The Jim crow car
on a Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific train running between Lit
tie Rock and Oklahoma City has
been altered after vigorous com
plant from NAACP that colored
women and white and colored men
were forced to used the same Law
atory.
The arrangement became known
when a colored woman travelling
on the train last fall made COM
plant to the n. A. A. c. p. The
journey is one of ten hours. On
this particular day there was on
ly one coach on the train. 1t was
divided in half and in one end was
a toilet for white women with that
end occupied mostly by white wo-
men. The other half was a smok-
er for white men which had cur
tain hung across several seats
reserving a small section for col
ored people. In that end of the
coach was a toilet which was for
the use of white and colored men
and colored women.
In it's protest to the Rock Island
railroad the n. A. A. G. P. wrote:
please be advised that we are
instructing all of our branches
that this is a violation of all prin-
ciples of equal protection and ac-
commodation and that the COM
pany is legally liable to any Negro
woman who is forced to use a toll
ct in a smoker available TO Negro
men while a separate toilet is pro-
vided on the train for white wo-
men,"
The n. A. A. G. p. advises col
.ored women that they have legal
right to bring suit against rail-
roads for such Accommodations and
that it will be glad whenever spe-
cific instances are referred to it.
