FAIRFAX PLANS

ton of existing school conditions
through Fairfax county with a
view toward making recommends
lions to the county school board

bring about closer cooperation be-
tween the general public and
school officials, will study the gen.
eral school conditions in the coun-
ty, inform the public of its find
ings, and establish more friendly

AMERICA
SEES LEAGUE
HOPELESS
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

The League of Nations, once
the rock of security for the little
fellow against the armed agrees
sion Of a bully" nation, has lost
face" in the new world.
Its failure to take decisive &C
ton to halt the last three major
conflicts-the war in the Chaco,
Japans seizure of Manchukuo,
and Italy's conquest of Ethiopia
has brought the Leagues once
great prestige almost to the van
iShing point in Latin-America.
Their confidence badly shaken,
the Latin-American republics have
turned their eyes from Geneva
toward the United States for guar
antees Of territorial security.
This is expected to prove a con-
siderable factor in the successful
outcome of the Inter-American
Peace Conference opening at
Buenos Aires December /, at
which the mutual cooperation OF
the 81 republics will be sought in
molding new machinery to main
tain peace in the western Hemls-
phere.
Chile, Mexico, Honduras, Qua
temala and Nicaragua favored
withdrawal from the league after
sanctions against Italy failed to
materialize, but sentiment still re-
mains for Geneva among many of
the nations and this will have its
bearing on several proposals be-
fore the Buenos Aires gathering.
Several Of the republics, in their
zeal for an American security I'M
derstanding, have suggested crea'
ton Of an American League of Ma
tons. Others have put forward
the idea of an American Court OF
justice.
The extent to which the repub-
lies continue support Of Geneva is
expected to determine largely the
establishment of an American
league. There is also the import
ant question of whether the
smaller States will be willing to
compromise their insistence on
equality with the United States
and the larger Latin American
countries.
Principal opposition to an Amer
lean court of justice would arise
from the United States which has
long held that international law
of universal application makes 1t
unnecessary for more than one
court to function.
One phase of the United States
neutrality proposal, however,
would largely serve in this stead.
This provides for a commission OF
secretaries Of state and foreign
ministers to consult in times of
crisis and conciliate differences
before the outbreak Of war.
The United States recognizes
the utilization of many of the
Latin-American states with &C.
neva in it's neutrality proposal, the
cardinal features Of which are:
l. All American nations would
be committed to peaceful settle
ment of disputes and bound not
to wage war without formal
declarations.
2. Sale of munitions and ex-
tension of credits would be en-
bargoed to all belligerents, ex-
cepting American nations at
war with non-American nations.
3. American nations belonging
to the League of Nations would
be exempt from arms and credit
embargoeS to all belligerents if
their obligations under the
League covenant required Of the
embargoes to an "aggressor" ma

MILLER HIGH
GIVEN CLASS
"A" r TIN G

AT the last annual meeting of
the North Central Association of
Secondary Schools and Colleges,
Miller High School of Detroit, was
granted recognition as a class A
high school. The North Central
Association is one of the five re-
gional accrediting bodies and this
recognition means that the Asso-
citation feels that Miller High School
is on par with other first class
high schools in the country, in all
respects. 1t also means that grad
yates of Miller may enter college
on the basis or their graduation,
without having to take entrance
examinations.
Miller High School is located at
the corners of Jay and Dubois
streets and was changed from an
intermediate to a high school about
three years ago. Despite the short
period it has been in the high
school group, it has gained promi-
hence in various eXtra-curricula
activities. The Miller basketball
team has won the East Side Cham
pionship for the past two years.
Recently in competition with the
other high schools in the city, two
Miller students won second places
In both an oratorical and essay
contest.

Their Fight Is
Our Fight
The Sharecroppers
Fight for Life
(By Lester II. Granger)
(FOr AMP

1t has been Springtime in Ark
ansas for several weeks, but a
dreadful, loathsome Spring. Spring
is a season of beauty and promise
ordinarily, a season when young
love roams country lanes, when
poets rhapsodize on the perfection
of nature, and winters starved man
kind looks to the pillow and hoe
as symbols of the fruitfulness that
grows out of Winters frost. But
for $4,000 Negro families in Ark
ansas State there is little beauty
and no promise Of fruitfulness in
the green fields that stretch a
round them for hundreds of miles.
There is instead the threat of bru-
tai terror and violent bloodshed,
and the certain promise that their
desolation this summer will be on
ly slightly less than the hardships
suffered the long winter months.

MEMPHIS
EDITOR IS
ST ABBED

Memphis ANP)-The stabbing
Of Jasper II. Duncan, former editor
of the Memphis World and now
editor of the Memphis edition of the
Pittsburgh Courier, has brought
strong protests from local citizens
and the demand that the assail-
ant, John Arnold, Jr., operator of a
pressing shop and pool hall, be
severely punished by the courts.
Duncan was at the Club AristO-
crat working on a story where
members of Jimmie Lunceford's or
chestra were being entertained,
Arnold siad to be drunk, was
talking 10 a friend when the news
paperman walked up and asked
him his name to be used i'm the ar
licle. Arnold, after shouting he
didn't want his name in the paper,
drew a knife and slashed Duncan,
missing his jugular vein by half an
inch.
The newspaperman was rushed
to the hospital where his wound
was described as critical. John
Coleman, who with Robert Henry,
one of the club managers, attempt
ed to disarm Arnold, was also cut
on the forehead. The knife wielder
was arrested and charged with as
suit with intent to kill, disorderly
conduct and drunkenness.

Bottle Thrown
During Fight
Injuries Chill d

Wilbert Humphrey, 2-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Humphrey, $50
Theodore, was struck on the head
by a ginger ale bottle and critical
ly injured last Monday, at noon, by
Ruth walker, 16, of 6545 Hazlett,
when she threw the bottle at two
unknown women with whom she
was quarreling, and missed the
mark. The incident occurred in
the rear of 5036 st. Antoine, where
Miss walker had gone to visit
friends.
The injured child was rushed to
the Children's Hospital, where 1t
was discovered that he was suf-
fering from Il compound skull frac-
ture. An operation was performed
at once, in the attempt to save the
little boys life. Surgeons at the
hospital say Wilbert has a fifty
fifty chance to recover.
Miss Walker is held at the Wo-
mans Detention Home, on a charge
of felonious assault. Detectives
Rex Smith and George Rutherford
were the arresting officers.

Detectives Arrest
Hamtramck Youths

Two more cases were cleared up
last week by the Hamtramck Pol
ice force, as direct results of the
efforts Of Detectives James Ras-
berry and James Perry, two of
Hamtramck's ace detectives.
Bruno Wojtusis was arrested by
the two detectives when he and
several accomplices attempted to
drive a parked car away from the
rear of the used car lot which is
owned by Police Commissioner
Richard Cornell, Jr.. When the
man resisted arrest it was neces-
sary for Detective Perry to fire in
to the tires of the car in order to
halt him. Wojtusis, it was reveal
ed, is on probation for a similar
charge.
The second case cleared up by
Detective Raspberry and Perry
was at the Tau Beta Community
house this week, when they captur-
cd George Grobowski and two &C
completes on charges of breaking
and entering.

Boy is born leader Of men. His
classes, he teaches physical ac-
tivities rug making beadwork and
dramatics in Barage County, are

activities as he does in his WPA
classwork. In feathered headdress
and full Indian regalia once worn
by Sitting Bull and carefully hand
ed down through the family he Of
flciates at any entertainment in the
neighborhood. An army of youthful
followers dog his footsteps to hear

An expert horseman and an en-
thusiastic interpreter of Indian

free hours giving instruction in
riding and in the execution of Sioux
tribal dances.
On the WPA payroll Tatanka
Iyotake Hoksila is listed as Her
