For Second Time

NEW YORK (CNA) = Harlem
citizens are wondering this week
If they are getting the run
around" again. following the sec
ond postponement of the trial of
Gustav Schoenchen, white princi-
pal of Public School 5, charged
with savagely attacking Robert
Shelton, 14-year-old Harlem school
boy.
The second hearing on the case
took place last week in Part 5 of
the Bronx Magistrates Court,
where Judge Peter Abiles, after
permitting defense counsel to hec-
kle young Shelton for approx
mately an hour and a half, adj
journed the hearing in the midst
of the boys cross-examination. It
was the second adjournment or
dered in the case by Judge Abiles.
The case, called a New York
School Scottsborp. has aroused
the ire of the Harlem community
and a large crowd of Harlemites
and battery of attorneys had
trned up to support the prosecu-
ton of the principal, whose saw
age attack on young Shelton nee
essitated several stitches in the
boys scalp.
Among those who appeared as
associate counsel to aid Alexander
Racolin, international Defense At
torney, were William Picken, Jr.,
counsel of the NAACP, William H.
Miller, LID, Highlander and 9TH
ers.
Under the auspices of the Har-
lem Permanent Committee for
Better Schools, strong movement
is developing in Harlem for the re-
moval Of Schoenchen from the
school system and to otherwise inn
prove the Harlem public school
situation. A mass meeting held
at st. Marks Methodist Church at
13Sth st. and st. Nicholas Ave,
adopted resolutions demanding re-
manding Schoenchen's removal and
criticising the deplorable condition
in Harlem schools. The resolu-
tions have been sent to Mayor La
Guardia and the Board of Educa-
ton.

Committee OF Citizens
Asks Chief Sears To
Remove S. End Officer


Owing to a growing siege OF
brutality and discriminatory ar
rests IF Negroes in our city. the
Committee of the Citizens Emer-
gency Council met in a protest
consultation with Chief of Police
Sears on last Friday, November
-. While complaints are numer-
Gus, there are two outstanding
cases which were brought to the
Chiefs attention
One was the brutal treatment
of one John Wesley Jones. who
was so mishandled that he had
to receive hospital attention be-
fore he was confined In cell. The
other was the uncalled-for brutal
ity used in the arrest of one JIM
ME Allen, high school lad. These
two parties were present and stat
ed what took place at the time of
their arrest. That most coloredS
people in the lower part Of the
city, who are mistreated BY the
police, fear to testify against them
owing to various complications.
further persecution by the arrest
ing officer being the outstanding
one, is a well-lmown fact.
The Chief plainly stated that the
vice ring in the lower part Of the
city has grown to such an extent
that life Is in jeopardy and that
I he gave Policeman Pachen orders
to clean it up. He stated that IN
so doing Policeman Pachell was
only complying with the orders he
had received from him. However.
the Chief stated several times that
he did not and would not stand for
police brutality. The spokesman
for the Committee also made 1t
clear that the purpose of the Com
mittee was not to condone crime;
that there was not an organization
represented by the Committee but
what would join hands with any
effort to Danish crime from the
city. The complaint was that bru-
tai treatment at the time Of ar
rest of members of our group is
being used.
Mr.. Jones weighs 115 pounds,
and is a frail old man of 70 years.
Officer Pachell admitted that he

For the first time in the univer-

only logical choice for the captain
cg was Simmons. admittedly a
player Of All-American timber. IN

captain for each game to avoid
the selection Of Simmons as cap

Iowa has lad a disastrous foot
ball season, due to the fact that
simmons teammates refuse to

OF the team and the coach to give

assailed in resolution adopted
by the Executive Committee of the

convention of the A. F. of L., that
opened last Monday in Tampa, Fla.
The resolution sharply contrasts
the racial discrimination practis-
ell by craft union leaders with the
progressive policies of the leader
ship of the movement for indus
trial unionization and of various
rank and file committees. 1t de-
clares 1.-THE Industrial Union Of
fers an effective solution for the
problems of race discrimination in

The resolution assails the Old

its support of ideas inimical to la
Dor solidarity and for it's indiffer-
ence to the work of organizing the
millions of unorganized Negro and
white workers.
The progress of labor in the u

these policies of the Old Guard,
the resolution points out. This
discrimination has been productive
OF low wages, long hours, poor
working conditions, mob violence,
