WORD RECEIVED HERE

The Bureau of indian Affairs motorship North Star is icebound in the Arctic Ocean, according to radiogram reaching the local of flee of the bureau today from Charles w. Hawkesworth, Assistant Director.
 No alarm is felt as a result of the message, which indicated that a temporary delay in the unload ing of the Point Barrow cargo will be the only inconvenience suffered, and this disadvantage is partly off set to give more time to helping the shore station in establishing quarters for Dr. Roy w. Morrow who went with the North Star from Metlakatla to spend the winter in the Arctic.
 The message is as follows:
 Saturday and Sunday we dis charged all but 80 tons of the Point Barrow freight. Last night (Sun- day) the ice conditions compelled us to seek protection around the cast side Of Point Barrow
 This morning an attempt was made to reach Barrow Village again, but the ice pack is still on the shore and we therefore return i'd for protection around the spit, to wait until wind and ice condi- tions are favorable for discharge of the remainder of the cargo.
 Morgan started to build the staff quarters immediately and Daugh- erty will assist with the heating system as he has had experience

i. 5. ATTACHES
! IN NEW DRIVE
FOR TRADE
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

American commercial attaches
in "a foreign trade centerS will
soon begin a concerted drive to
open up new world markets for
American goods, capitalizing on
what they term a vigorous liberal
trade" spirit engendered by the
new international currency agree
ment.
Nations now devaluing their cur
rencieS will win the cream" of a
freer trade movement, the experts
believe, but they believ. too, that
America will eventually increase
her exports as result of the
"gentlemen's agreement" on cur
rency.
May Seek New Law
This was learned here today as
experts in the Treasury Depart
ment seriously considered asking
Congress to enact laws making per-
manent the existing two billion
dollar currency Stabilization fund.
The law permitting use of this two
billion dollarS-which was the
profit" made when the dollar was
devalued-expireS on January 30
next. Already, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau has revealed
he intends to ask that it be con-
tilIued.
The stabilization fund, along
with that operated by Great
Britain and The Netherlands and
one about to be set up by France,
comprises the real strength of the
new tri-partite currency agree,
ment. These funds are to be
used to defend the newly devalued
franc, the pound, and the dollar
against violent fluctuation in
value.
Efforts of the nations trade ex-
pertS to increase American exports
were directed primarily at the OBJ
jective of giving this country a
favorable trade balance by the
end of the year. The balance is
now about $40,000,000 unfavor
able; that is, imports of this coun-
try for the first eight months of
the year have exceeded exports by
about $4O,O0O,OOO.
In view of the new currency
agreement, Foreign and Domestic
Commerce Bureau heads here be-
lieve that this can be accom-
plished, although they would not
specifically predict a favorable
balance by the end of the year.
Planned Attack
Plans of the bureau call for
persistent, diplomatic hammering
at the artificial barriers now i'm
peding world trade, such as
quotas, exchange controls, multi.
pie tariff columns, and preferen
tial exchange Nearly a hundred |
so-called commissioned officers of |
trade have been instructed to re-
double their efforts to find new
markets for American-made goods.

JURY IN SOUTH
ALL C0L0RED

MURFREESBORO, Ark, Oct. 2
G.N.SO. - Excitement prevailed
here today after an all-colored
jury was being selected in circuit
court to try Charles Gentry,
colored, on a charge of first-de-
gree murder.
This is the first time in the his
tory of Pike county that a colored
man has ever been called to serve
on a jury.
Circuit Judge A. P. Steel ordered
a special venire composed of Is
colored men after he overruled
motion to quash the first-degree
murder indictment against Gentry
because no colored men sat on the
grand jury.
Gentry is charged with killing
Jasper Evans, a colored man, last
August by decapitating him with
a pocket knife.
Many white people in the com,
munity have openly expressed sur
prise at Judge Steel's action.

Florida Prof. Defines
"Slanguage"

Jacksonville, Fla.-(C)-Writing
in the current number OF THE Bull
letin,' published at Edward Waters
College, Prof. Alfred Farrell says
on the topic "How's Your Slangu-
age" There are four different
levels of language: first the liter
airy; second, the colloquial; third,
the slang; fourth, the vulgar. Most
of us never get above the second
level, and not a few of us are con-
tent to remain on the second level.
Slang is type of discourse
which is in thoroughly present and
very general use, and it was once
thought that it could never rise to
responsibility. After a century OF
trying, it has worked its way up
into respectable society. 1t has
been described as a kind OF foam
upon language-fluffy and light,
but containing all the elements of
the language it adorns, along with
a sharp tang of its own"
No slang word is Of permanent
value unless it is peculiarly apt
and expressive-unless, In fact, II
is more apt and expressive than
any reputable word which might
be used as a synonym. SO how's
your slanguage!"

Cites Hesitancy
OF N e groes To
Work For Negroes

Kansas City Mo.-(C)-"We
Hurt Ourselves Is the caption of
the leading editorial in the Kansas
City Call of last week, in which
Editor c. A. Franklin says: Zone
reason why Negroes do not make
the progress in business which
they should Is their insistence on
an equality within the race. The
Negro domestic easily takes or
ders from whites, but she fairly
shouts i won't work for my own
color because to do SO, she thinks
is an admission that the employer
is her superior.
Considering the large number OF
Negroes who work in groups, the
foremen among them are few. Pro-
motion Is blocked at the very out
set of their rise from common la
Dor by their peoples unwillingness
to take orders from them. Not all
are 80 foolish, but enough are to
have created that general impress
sion. Consequently, employers are
unwilling to invite discord by ad-
vancing one Negro over another
Failing in the first step, the Ne
gro, II he enters business at all
leaps into it unprepared. He buys
experience at his own expense
with no period of training such al
he would have had If he coult
have moved up gradually from
worker to foreman to partner.
"There are many cities in this
country with a Negro population oI
$4,000 or more. Any city of tina
population has a variety of bust
nesses, yet Negroes Of equal mum
Der. who buy everything like thei
white neighbors, do not suppl!
themselves even the necessities. Al
a result many places of employ
ment are lost and they must crow
into a few lines Of work with cut
throat competition resulting.
"In recent years movements Il
force white business men in Ne
gro neighborhoods to employ Ne
groes have broken out in severa
cities, notably Chicago and New
York. or course it is fair that SOM
part of the money that comes from
Negroes shall go back to them. Blu
it is obviously better to seek tina
money without coercion and strif
than with 1t. If there was no sill,
refusal to let one member OF tn
race rise above the others, the
movement toward business woul'
be natural, and in time woul'
reach its full development in tn
form of all kinds of business.
1.-The place to begin is at the be
ginning. First of all, If work i
honorable, there is no social diff
ference between employer an
employee, and for that reason a Ne
gro is - good to work for as any
body else. With that handicap on
of the way, a cheerful willingness
to work under Negro foreman
would follow. After that natur
would take it's course. Ultimatel
all Negroes with business incli
nations would succeed. There ca
