9TH birthday Sunday, July a.
Still well and hearty, with eyes
that need no glasses; with hearing
unimpaired and an amazing ap-
petite that refuses no good things
to eat; with an excellent home in
which he receives the most loving
care, it would indeed be quite pos
sible that many years are yet his
to live.
Recalls The Past
spent an interesting hour with
him listening to his recital of mem
cries of the past, recounted in
soft and pleasant drawl, reminis-
cent of the south from which he
came and still loves and to which
he hopes shortly to visit to locate
relatives and long time friends and
acquaintance.
His interesting story was called
to the attention of our editor by
Judge w. A. Anderson, himself a
son of a Civil War veteran.
Born In Slavery
Born in Fayette City, a little
town of Alabama, his first recollec-
tons are of his farm life with his
parents, his sisters and brothers,
the property of Jim Pole. Pole was
the typical slave owner of that era
with 260 acres of farm land worked
by the seven or eight members of
this slave family. The master was
noted neither for extreme kindness
or cruelty.
Soldiers Bring Freedom
But one day in '63 the Yankee
soldiers came-drove Pole into the
woods, denuded the farm of all
livestock and produce and took the
slaves with them.
Henry entered the war on the
Union side and fought until it
ended. By then his folks had moved
to Little Rock. There he went
and there he said good bye. to
mother and all his kin, none of
whom he has ever seen again.
Without education or the ability to
write, contact with his people came
only through word of mouth as
travellers coming north would bring
some brief news from home. To-
day he is not sure if the mother
still lives, but has reason to believe
his brothers are still in Little Rock.
Lives In Omaha
Coming north Henry met the
varied experiences of adventurous
youth. On the farm he had learned
something of carpentering and
plumbing and how to turn his hand
to many incidental things and these
enabled him to earn a living in
Omaha, Nebraska, where he
settled for a period of years.
In this city he met and married
his first wife, Martha Green. She
died many years ago. Later he
came to Minneapolis where the
past % years have been spent. His
second marriage a few years back
united him to the mother of the
well known musician, Clarence
Johnson. She died some two years
ago and since he has continued to
make his home with his step-son
and his wife in their pleasant home
at 535 Emerson Avenue.
Travels
Mr.. Mack uses neither tobacco
nor liquor. With his step-son he has
travelled quite bit. Last year it
was New York and Washington.
Next year trip to the west coast
is planned.
Banks Pension
Mr.. Mack draws a sizable pen
sion and this he banks in his own
name. Life, he says, is not half
bad. He hopes to enjoy much more
of it.
Mr.. Mack is regular in his at
tendance at G. A. r. sessions.
Only recently he was honor guest
of the Veterans meeting at the
Radisson Hotel.

Ford Assailed at
NAACP Farley

Detroit-(Lawrence Emery for
CNA)-The 18th annual conference
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
came to grips in its opening ses-
sion with the biggest problem OF
the day-the CLIO and the Negro
people.
John P. Davis, secretary of the
National Negro Congress, in de-
livering one of the two opening
reports, declared that "the new
hope of Black America is the hope
of lining up with the forces of
progress, the forces of organized
labor under the banner of the
CO."
Davis emphasized the policy of
the CLIO in organizing Negro work
ers on the basis of equality and
freedom in industry and contrasted
this with the old policy of discrim-
ination in the A. F. of L.
Negroes in Leadership
"The CO." said Davis, ''has put
Negroes on its staff everywhere
and defended the interests of Ne
gro workers, when it signed con-
tract with U. S. Steel. 1t raised
the pay of $4,000 Negroes, and is
giving them real benefits.
"The new United Federal Work
ers of America, which will become
one of the biggest unions in the
country, chose a Negro as the first
person on its payroll.
Lining up with the CLIO will
not only bring economic benefits,
but will further our fight for civil
liberties. Our main anxiety now
is that a minority of Bourbon
Southerners will defeat the will of
the people, but we have in the CLIO
more than 8 million people who will
give open and honest support in
our legislative campaign against
lynching.
"For us to be confused, to raise
the old issues with this new move
ment, is to make a great mistake.
At this time the NAACP and ev-
cry one of its local branches has
the serious responsibility to sup
port by all means the great drive
Of American labor and to
strengthen that drive with our own
forces"

'scrimmage, at the Brooklyn 90
yard line. In three plays, the
Dodgers gained about s1a yards. It
was fourth down, and the Dodgers
decided to punt. Dick Crayne went
back to kick out Of danger. Big
Turk Edwards smashed through
and blocked the punt. The ball
bounced off Turks giant frame
and rolled about on the ground,
finally coming to a dead stop.
The ball was clear Of the pack.
Wayne Millner was closest to the
leather, but three Dodgers were
close enough to be dangerous.
Carefully, with full concentra-
ton and with great elaboration,
Millner got down to the business
of the moment which was to pick
up the ball. He reached down as
if he were going to pick up an egg.
He made no effort to scoop up the
ball, as a less experienced and less
willy player would have done. Mill
ner was in no hurry. His job was
to concentrate attention upon the
act of picking up that ball clearly
and surely. He did a swell job Of
it.
Once the ball was safely in his
possession, he started for the
Brooklyn goal-line, which was II
yards away. He covered 1512 Of
those II yards before he was tack

The Presidents, whose lineup
closely resembles the alltime team
of Catholic University, because Of
the presence of no less than about
a dozen ex-Cardinal grid stars,
scored in every period to pile up
the score. Willis Benner's educated
toe accounted for the first three
points of the game when he scored
a 23-yard placement early in the
fray. Tom Oliver, former Catholic
U. fullback, scored touchdownS in
each Of the following three stanzas.
The first Oliver score came mid
way in the second heat after a
series Of passes from Adamaitis
to Benner brought the ball to the
5-yard line. Benner was the chief
exponent Of the second score when
he intercepted q Clancy pass In
midfield and dash to the 6-inch
line. Once again Oliver zoomed
over with the piskin.
The final touchdown was scored
when Adamaitis and Oliver com

BY HARRY COSTELLO

Attention is that talent Of hui
man beings by which one event
or one small group Of events is
selected from the whole field Of
experience and made the business
of the moment.
In yesterdays professional foot
ball game, in Ebbetts Field, Brook
Ign, between the Washington
Redskins and the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers, Wayne Millner, former Notre
DaHe star, gave a remarkable ex-
hibition of attention. AS a result
of that exhibition. the whole COM
plexion Of the game changed in
an instant, doubt and uncer-
tainty disappeared from the game
and the Redskins went into the
ascendancy. Washingto nwon, 81
to 0.
The play came early in the first
period Of the game.
BLOCKS PUNT
After the Redskins had received
the opening kickoff, the Washing
ton attack clicked. The Redskins
moved from their own 20-yard
line to Brooklyn's 43 in five plays,
four of them running plays, one a
forward pass, Sammy Baugh to
Cliff Battles. Then, three for
ward passes went astray and
Baugh punted across the Dodger
goal line for a touchback.
The ball was put in play, from

caught the ball with no Dodger
closer than 10 yards.
Smith ran the ball 80 yards to
the Dodger 2-yard line where he
was tackled by three Brooklyn
players. Don Irwin and Baugh
in two plays picked up all but
two feet Of the two yards, and
then Irwin slashed through right
tackle for the second Redskin
touchdown. Riley Smith goaled
again, and the score was IA to O..
Ed King" Kahn, Redskin
guard, scored Washington's third
touchdown. Here's how that hap
pened.
Brooklyn had the ball at the
Redskin 32-yard line, thanks to a
pass interrogation by Vannie Al
banese. Brumbaugh heaved a
forward pass, which Don Irwin
intercepted. Irwin dashed for
the Brooklyn goal. When a few
yards short Of the mark, Irwin
realized that Jeff Barrett. Brook
Ign TANKER, was about to tackle
him, and he tossed a lateral to-
ward Kahn.
It was a wobbly affair, and a
Brooklyn player came within an
eyelash Of grabbing it. The
Brooklyn player, unlike Millner,
could not quite concentrate his
whole attention on the task Of
picking up the ball cleanly, the
ball got away from him, Kahn
grabbed it and dashed across the
Dodger goal line for the final
RedSkin touchdown. Smith goaled
