NEW YORK, May lO-Although

were wary. Many inclined to stand
on the outside and look in pending
something definite regarding the
course of business and politics during
the next several months.

slide at the start and was followed by
leadin rails, motors, rubbers, oils and
an assortment of lately buoyant spe-
cialties. Big Steel" finally Topped

Postal receipts, one of those val

939.59, and the first time in many
months that postal receipts have been
lower than in the corresponding
month In the previous year.
So far in May postal receipts in
Washington have revealed improve
ment so that the small decrease will
soon be made up. With check trans
actions, telephone service, depart

TO APPEAL

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 1S-
The Alabama Supreme court this week
upheld the 75-year sentence imposed
on Haywood Patterson one of the
nine Scottsboro boys, who was thrice
saved from death sentences Immedi-
ately attorneys for the youth an
nounced they would appeal the case
to the United States Supreme court.
The court held it had found no re-
versible error in the trial record. Four
justices concurred in the decision. The
United States Supreme court has set
aside convictions on two previous ap-
peals.
Patterson and eight other youths
were accused of assaulting two white
women at ScottSboro, Ala.
1t will be recalled that last week
the Alabama Supreme court acquitted
Sheriff w. L. Corbitt of Henry coun-
ty, who was impeached on charges of
negligence and cowardice in the lynch
ing of Wesley Johnson. Despite the
fact that it was proven Johnson was
the wrong man in the attack case, the
court allowed him to go free.

CROSSWAITH DEFENDS NEGRO
NEW YORK-(C)-In letter to

the New York Post, which has pub
lished a symposium on the plight OF
Negro writer's, recently brought to the
limelight of debate by the publication
of Claude McKay's book, "A Long
Way From Home" Frank R. Cross
waith defended Negro nove1ists as fol-
lows:
ut seems to me that to expect
Negro writers to escape completely
the baneful influence of American race
prejudice with all of its problems
real and imaginary-is to ask the Neg
70 to display characteristics unlike
normal. human beings. 1t is an ac-
cepted premise that writers of fiction
draw upon their experiences for ma
terial and inspiration. This being
the case, certainly the social expert
ence of white writer is not the social
experience of Negro writer, hence
their output must not only differ in
form but especially in substance"

Norman Bell 16, tried his hand at

til an Acme Tag Co., window got in
the line OF fire. The rock won. Nor
man was picked up, and then the Ac-
me Co., decided to drop the whole
thing, providing he would pay.
Before he could get himself togeth-
er, someone threw hrecrackers in the
room of the civics teacher at Central.
Norman's flying heels did not con-
ceal his identity. Judge LeSeuer
proved very lenient, for he only fined
him two dollars or two days.
When Norman's mother tried to pay
the fine, the Judge gave him stay,
and told him he must earn the money
himself to pay it.
He was given until September TO
balance the budget.

VOICE OF the LEGION

With the coming of the next meet
ing, Baker Post will hold it's annua.
election.
The Office of Commander is usually
passed around from one presumably
deserving member to another, with
the successful man being the one who
gets the breaks"
In the thirteen years Baker Post
has been electing officers, l believe
they have had eleven Commanders, so
reflections are very rare.
The peculiar thing about the Com
membership in this Post, is that it is
fraught with problems, some are real
difficulties, and call for a good deal
of diplomacy, which is usually sue
cessful in mediocre way. The con-
facts are usually wide, but seemingly
have never been sufficient to develop
a leader of outstanding proportions.
The responsibilities of the office in
crease as the years go by due to the
vast amount of soldier legislation that
has accumulated over the years, and
the fact that as the individual veteran
grows older, his problems become
more acute and give rise to new and
difficult situations.
All in all, Commanderships arc se;-
dom sought more than once. which
probably speaks more for the job as
a job than anything else.
The office of Adjutant is another
that calls for great deal of mental
activity, for beside being mere sec
rotary, he acts as general adviser tc
everybody, and is expected to have a
vast fund of technical knowledge al
his finger tips.
1t is more or less work horse job
as there is a lot of interorganization
correspondence to be carried on, be-
side that which comes from the out
side, which is of no small proportions
Adjutants. often hold their positions
for years, and seemingly grow into the
work, rather than merely learn how it
is done.
There have been instances come to
my attention, where the sole active
responsibility of running the post
rested on the shoulders of the Adult
ant, and the Commander was consid-
cred the happy recipient of an hon
or, and was merely fgurehead.
1t is generally believed, and is prob
ably true, that no Post can ever be
successful without good Adjutant.
L have seen some rather sorry posts,
with good Adiutants, but | never saw
a good Post with poor one, SO here's
hoping we get some more good Off
GERS, or retain the old ones.

Will QUIT BOXING

This week, Joe Louis issued state
Ament to the effect that he will quit
boxing after he wins the heavyweight
crown and takes on Max Schmeling
late in September. Louis states that
he has plenty of money and that after
he wins the crown, there will be moth
ing to fight for.
Louis feels confident that he will
win from Braddock and Make, after
which he will go into business.
During the recent weeks, the odds
on Louis have changed continuously
and wild tales have been circulated to
the effect that Little Joe" isn't in the
best of condition for his fstic encoun-
ire with Braddock on Tuesday.
Condition and faulty training is the
thing that beat the Little Brown you
in his go with Make. 1t should not
be surprising if Joe takes the count
We can rest assured that if the young
fellow isn't in the best of condition
Tuesday, "Old Man Braddock" will
take his measure even as Make did
1t is to be considered that Braddock
is after all a boxer while Louis has
shown himself to be just Bomber
1t would be inadvisable to bet your
do-re-me because the possibility Of a
sell-out is in the air
