Jesse OWENS GETS
FIFTH EDITORIAL

NEW YORK {C)-Jesse Owens
got his fifth editorial Of praise in
a New York daily newspaper last
week when the New York Journal
published at the top of its editorial
page, the following: "A Credit To
America: Jesse Owens Deserves
High Praise for His Conduct in
Berlin.
Jesse Owens, worlds fastest
runner, is turning professional.
There is no reason why he should
NOT turn professional, MANY rea-
sons why he SHOULD. He has up
held the honor of his country by
his amazing victories in the Olym,-
pics. He won four gold medals
for the United States. He has con-
Quoted himself with dignity in spite
Of ill-concealed slurs againet him
and his race. And, as he told the
readers Of the Evening Journal
yesterday In his article to Inter
national News Service from Lon
don, he made the trip to Europe at
a great sacrifice, and finds it nee.
essary to earn a living for himsel
ana his wife. There need be no
reflections on an amateur who
turns professional. Many brilliant
stars Of baseball. football. tennis.
and other sports have done SO
without criticism. If Jesse Owen
wishes to do the same. the average
American will say, More power
to him" All Americans viii APP
plaud his modestly expressed de-
sire to become a leader of his peo-
pie like the late Booker T. Wash
ington Whether he succeeds II
doing that or not, he has set a fine
example of good sportsmanship,
good mann RS. and praiseworthy
ambition to help others. An ex-
ample that all can admire and
ought to aanire regardless Of
race, color, or creed"

Boston Globe Praises
Carter WOodsOn Book

BOSTON (C)-The Boston Globe
has praised the new book, THE
African background Outlined" by
DR.. Carter G. Woodson of Wash
ington, D. C. The PIPER says, ut
should prove of interest to all who
have believed that the Negro is an
undesirable, an undeveloped person
who is creating a problem. by not
being able to keep pace with other
races. The author presents the
past of the Negro race to throw
light upon the possibilities of the
Negro as a human being, respond
ing 60 stimuli but largely hindered
by obstacles not encountered by
other races. He gives some strik-
ing facts as to what the Negro has
accomplished"

AT FUTURE GAMES

HOBOKEN, N. ]. ~ The official
resolution adopted by the Jewish
War Veterans of New Jersey, con-
.demning the snub of Jesse Owens,

athletes will be treated in a sports
manlike manner. The text of the
resolution:

ARTICLE SCORES
JIM CROWISM IN
STEEL INDUSTRY

NEW YORK = The rigid segre-
cation forced upon the IS, 900 Me-
gro workers in the steel industry
by the industry itself, is scored in
an article by John P. Davis in the
September issue Of the Crisis.
The article, Jim Crow in Steel, .
contains the observations Of Mr..
Davis made after a trip to large
steel centers in the drive to organ
lie steel workers into one indust-
rial union. The drive is being car
ried on by the Committee for In
dustrial Organization under John
L. Lewis
Using Aliquippa, Pa, a hundred
per cent steel town, as an example.
Mr.. Davis reveals that the steel
company there has an unbeatable
rule designating where Negroes
may live in the town. He declares
also that the company regulates
every activity of all workers, blaG i
and white, on and off the job. He
charges the steel industry with
giving Negroes the least desirable
work which increases the ratio of
occupational disease. They be-
come old and useless men before
they have reached middle age" de-
cIares the article.
sOccupational differentials place
Negroes ia low wage braeiStis IN
the South, Negroes doing the same
work as whites receive le0s pay.
And because of the predominant
number Of Neg1oes in the industry
IN this section, average wage rates
there are lower than elsewhere IN
the country. Moreover the amount
of work given Negroes by week,
month and year, is on the average
less than for whites. And for none
Of the workers are the annual real
incomes which they receive suffic-
lent to afford more than a bare ex-
istence.
Negro steel workers. the ar
ticle concludes, must choose be-
tween joining the union with their
white fellow workers and taking
the side Of their slaye-driving en-
ployers."

Seattle Mayor Scores
Hearst Anti-Labor Policy


SEATTLE (cNA) Mayor John
f. Dore asserted here that it would
be a good thing for Seattle if the
Hearst owned Post Intelligencer,
whose news staff is on strike, new
er resumes publication.
The Mayors statement followed
a brusque rejection by the news
paper of proposal by the Mayor
for a conference between the pa
per's management and the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild unit in its
newsroom. The Guild had accept
ed the proposal.
With Hearst scabs and gunner
pouring into the city in an effort
to break the 100 per cent effective
strike, v. Vaughn Tanner, Hearst
resident agent, insisted that the
Mayors efforts should be directed
toward helping the paper to come
out. Following the Mayors refus-
al to use the police to break the
strike, the Hearst management an
nounced the indefinite susper sion
Of the paper.
The strike started two weeks a.
go when the Hearst paper fired a
photographer and a drama editor
because of their Guild affiliation.
Union printers refused to pass
through the picket line set up by
the Guild and the paper was I'M
able to publish.

SOUTHERN COLLEGE
COOPERATION PLAN
OUTLINED BY PROF.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c. Co -
Prof. Guy B. Johnson's new plan
Of interracial cooperation in educa-
ton in the South, as outlined at
the recent Institute on Regional
Development held at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, is as fol-
lows: I'm the realm of teaching
there is practically no cooperation
between white and Negro institu-
tions. There use to be a great
deal Of white teaching in Negro
colleges but that has become un-
fashionable. There is more and
more a tendency for Negroes to
take over the teaching and admin
istrstion of their own colleges.
This has its advantages but it also
means that we are becoming more
isolated Negro teachers in this
generation probably have fewer
contacts and acquaintance among
white teachers than they had a
generation ago. Many of them, Of
course, do not care to have these
contacts under the restrictions ex-
listing IN the South. They are tired
of the patronizing and condescend-
ing air with which many whites
associate with Negroes On the
white mans side it Is still worse.
He is apt to be very complacent or
even snobbish about contacts with
Negro scholars. Now I am not ask
ing for social or interracial rela-
tons as such but simple for people
having common teaching problems
and research to see the Importance
of getting together and helping one
another Both races lose by this
lack of cooperation. We white peo-
pie lose by it just as much as the
Negroes. I think that the South
would have been much richer Il
cooperation had existed in the past.
am thinking of scholars like w.
E. B. Dubois and Benjamin Draw
ley, who labored for years in the
South with scarcely any recogni-
ton or encouragement or intimate
acquaint on the part of white
scholars. These conditions exist
partly because we do not have any
channels of regular contact be-
tween white and Negro teachers
If we had some means of promot-
ing these contacts we would have
better teaching and better research
It would be to the advantage of the
white man, of the Negro, and of
the whole southern region.
IT believe that where the atti-
tudes will permit it white schools
ought to have occasional lectures
by Negro scholars and special in
stitutes including Negro speakers,
such as the Institute of Human
Relations which has been held peri
odically here at the University of
North Carolina. After this prac-
tice has become established it
might be possible to hive Negro
specialists give class room or SEM
mar lectures along certain lines
We have done this for several
years here at the University of
North Carolina. AS soon as it is
possible, and 1 think there are
places where ii is possible now, we
might attempt special joint SEM
mars of White and Negro teachers
and students, especially where we
are dealing with research prob
lens that involve the Negro.
Another region where there is
possibility for greater participa-
ton of Negro scholars is in the
various professional and academic
societies of the southern region.
