N. Y. Hospital
Denies Story
Of Discrimination

NEW YORK Calvin Service
Flash)-Prompt action was taken
by Walter Merger, superintendent
of Knickerbocker Hospital, on
Sugar Hill" in Harlem, for a
white woman clerk refusing to
readily admit Mrs. w. G. Handy,
late wife of the Gather of the
Blues" because of the color issue.
The superintendent announced on
Saturday, just as Mayor LaGuar-
dia received strong protest from
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
that the treatment of Mrs. Handy
was due to "poor judgment of a
woman employee, who has since
been transferred" The official
said the only reason the woman
was retained at all was because
she had been with the hospital for
twenty years.
Superintendent Merger said fur
Their: There is no question about
our policy, and there can be none.

statement is proved by the fact

in Minneapolis in regard to service
and accommodation for Colored
citizens.
With fair and just aldermen
such violators would have a hard
time remaining in business.
The mayor has the power to re-
woke licenses but the aldermen can
deny them.
It might be a good thing for
Minneapolis Colored voters to ask
candidates for aldermanic prefer
ence in certain pertinent questions
regarding such things.
The mayoralty campaign will be
lively. George E. Leach's colorful
personality has always made him
popular with Colored people. He
did several things for the general
good of the Negro community I'M
der his administration.
Present Mayor Latimer will suf-
fer because of the manner in which
he handled the Helen Waters
policewoman case. Kenneth Hay
craft is not known to the average
Colored voter. None Of the mayor
candidates have any Negroes on
their general committees although
Robert ("Bob") Willis is said to be
working quietly for Leach.
We are making a canvass of the
records and backgrounds of the
various candidates and from now
on until primary election we will
give readers our findings.
Our usual recommendations will
be published one week before
primary election day.

Were Ministers

NEWMAN THINKS THEY
WERE
By CECIL E. NEWMAN

The letter battle between Sena-
tor Chas. Orr and Governor Elmer
Benson on the Peoples lobby all
night sit-down Monday and Tues
day in the Senate chambers, recalls
the inside" story of last weeks
demonstration led by Twin City
ministers who shepherded about
300 Colored citizens to the capitol.
Senator Orr charged Benson en-
couraged and abetted the sit-down
and inferred that Benson's actions
courted impeachment proceedings
and were an attempt to put the
conservative Senate on the spot.
Herein lies another tale. Farmer
Laborites claim last weeks Negro
demonstration was organized by
Senator Orr, as conservative leader,
to put the Farmer-Labor party "on
the spot"
It is known that a Nathaniel
Payne approached the Twin City
Ministers Alliance with the propo-
sition to march on the legislature
under cloak of a "Negro day" at
the state capitol. Nathaniel Payne
is a Negro conservative, who has
received political favors from that
faction.
AS the demonstration turned out
it did no harm to either the FL
party or the Negro but the results
were not what the promoters ex-
pected.
Representative s. A. Stockwell's
fortnight challenge to the house
and Benson's friendly audience
with the ministers committee actu-
ally did the conservative forces no
good.
OF course we don't think the

them knew they were being actu-
ally used to embarrass the present
administration but that is in the
opinion of the writer the exact rea-
son for the demonstration.
For the Negro there were no
losses and a few possible gains.
Of course the humorous angle
was that a clear majority of the
clergy who led the demonstration
campaigned and evidently voted
Republican ticket straight at the
last election. With all things equal
they should not expect the FL
administration to accept their
recommendations without consider
ing the regular Colored FL Or
ganization headed by j. Louis Err
win, st. Paul attorney.
In all fairness, it may be con-
sidered that Twin City ministers
pressed by the needs of their peo-
pie, tried to do something to show
their deep concern. But, as fire.
quently happens when in a hurry
to accomplish a very necessary
action, they failed to make of the
opportunity its very evident posi-
biities. Their congregations were
led to believe that certain definite
economic advantages would follow
this demonstration.
It's the old story Of the monkey
dividing the cheese with the con-
tending mice. In the final analysis
the monkey got all the cheese and
the mice were only, as they always
were, only deluded mice.
MINNEAPOLIS FACES AN
OTHER ELECTION
Minneapolis voters face another
municipal election. To minority
groups such as ours the most i'm
portant office to be considered is
not that of mayor.
The election of the proper alder
men and judges is far more i'm
portant to the average citizen and
especially important to a group of
citizens whose rights are constant
ly being violated.
For instance, consider the regu-
lar systematic violation of the civil
rights laws of the state by hotels,
restaurants and other public places

Caught up in no one knew what sort of a mess and all because she, Martha, had been interested in Gerry Neal. Yes, Martha told herself firmly, that was the only reason. For she could have said to Speddon, we're not concerned with what became of your friend. He forced

THE STORY UNTIL NOW

MARTHA BRITAIN and BET TY HAYNES Overspend on their CaIsforniA vacation trip and find themselves stranded in San Diego. They answer an ad of the Air speed Trailer Company and obtain an assignment to travel up the west c0ast, demonstrating the new de luxe trailer. Their suspicious gre aroused somewhat when AR- MOLD SLOSS of the Airspeed company fails to ask for either bond or references.
 ETAt6d at the prospect of the trip and money, nevertheless, the i've purchase travel outfits and return to their apartment to pack. At thelR door they surprise a handsome young man trying to enter. ApOlogetically, he tells thetA he stepped of at the wrong floor and that his name Is GER- KY NEAL. At first alarmed, the gifHS soon moline to dismiss the Incident But Martha doesn't fOr- ret Neal. They start north. And then on the outskirts If little town they piCk up Neal hitch hiking. He tells them he is to meet . friend, JACK SPEDDON, a& Lane Beech. But when the girls reach tl1e clty's auto camp, Neal has disappeared from the trailer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

himself into our lives for . few hours, and we're quite willing not to see him again" She could have said that, and saved Betty this.
 At the trailer the cold, uncooked food was still on the stove, but Martha made no move to prepare it. Nervous, she could only sit and stand in alternate restless movements. She thought of wir- ing home, but realized in time that this would be of no help now and would only throw Betty's family into frenzied fright. Ar mold Sloss? He could do nothing, and his first thought would proD- ably be for his advertising en- terprise.
 Suddenly she heard voices out side the trailer. Looking from one of the windows, she saw 8 jogging pool of light from an electric lamp. In the dim illumination she recog- nized the manager of the trailer camp. And with him was a heavy set man in, gray tweed.
 There was a loud knock on the door of the trailer. Miss Britt tain? .."

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-28

I'd like to ask the attendant If he saw anybody get out of the trailer" Betty and Martha exchanged glances, and Speddon added, "Itn take just a few minutes and I'll bring you right back in my car. Suppose you both come along?"
 "One of us had better stay with the trailer" Martha said. Do you think you could show him, Betty?"
 All curiosity now at the strange turn of events, Betty gladly as- scented. Martha walked to the edge of the auto camp to watch them get into Speddons car, a dark blue roadster, and as they drove of, some sudden premoni- ton prompted her to note the h- cense number. Hurrying back to the trailer she found a pencil and paper and wrote it down.
 She was soon to be grateful for this move. A half hour passed, then an hour, and Betty and Speddon hadn't returned. Fran tic, Martha unlocked the coupe from the trailer and started for the gasoline station. To her relief the same attendant was on duty, and he smiled in recognition.
 "What'd you do with the Pull man car?" he grinned.
 "Do you remember the girl who was with me earlier in the after noon?"
 q sure do. You mean that good looking blond"
 Martha nodded. "Has she been here within the last hour? She'd have been in a dark blue road- Ster."
 Nope :" the station attend ant shook his head. Tn the last hour there hasn't been either 8 blond or 8 roadster in here"
 Are you sure?"
 "Lady, I don't forget blonds like that. When she came in here this afternoon I says to myself, Tim, you won't see babe like that for another week."
 Martha's fingers frightened impa- tiently on the edge of the car door. "All right. But I want to ask you something else. This afternoon did you see anybody get out of our trailer-or notice anyone around the station as we left?"
 He looked at Martha as if he believed she might be just the least bit irresponsible. "No, lady, I didn't. 'Let me use your telephone"
 "Yes, ma'am." The attendant stepped aside, still pop-eyed. He was more aghast when he over-

"His suitcase is gone, too!"ex" claimed Betty, climbing into the trailer. T wonder what else IS miss ing?"
 Martha joined her in the search, but to their astonishrnent nothing had been stolen. The washbasn was still damp. Apparently Neal had shaved. then slipped from the trail- CT. fife must have got out while we were going slow through some of those towns back there" Martha said. She looked at Betty. T won- der if he's just-just odd, or whe- ther there's something behind all this?"
 Betty grinned. T think he's just odd. Or maybe not even odd. Suppose you were a man, and you'd hooked ride, and had to borrow a washbasin to shave in --all from couple of girls. wouldn't you want to take 8 run out powder at the earliest oppor- tllnity?"
 Perhaps you're right" Martha said. Want to start the dinner while hunt up the manager and find out what it'll cost us to park here?"
 "IIl start it." Betty agreed, "and I'll finish it. But tomorrow night it's your turn!"
 "Right!" Martha laughed, and started out for the managers cot- tage. But that laugh was no indi- cation of her true feelings. Try as she might, she could not write off Gerry Meals disappearance as lightly as Betty did. Even when she had paid in advance for her parking space. and obtained the managers permission to display the trailer for advertising pur- poses, she returned to the Air. speed with Neal still in her mind.
 In the falling dusk she found Betty at the door of the trailer talking to a rather scrawny man who might have been anywhere between 30 and 40. At Martha s appearance he turned quickly.
 Martha, this is MT. Speddon, 7 Betty said. Hes the man Mir. Neal telephoned."
 "Yes," Speddon put in. T can't figure out why he'd phone me and then not come along"
 Neither can we, MT. Speddon. But no doubt he'll turn up. He seems to have way of doing that. ' Speddon looked at her queerly. T don't know about that. But it's mighty queer. You girls may not realize 1t, but this could be some- thing kind of serious"
 "What do you mean?" Speddon hesitated. "Well can't say exactly. Did you stop any, where after he got into the trailer?"
 "Just at gasoline station quite near here," Martha said. "But I'm sure he didn't get out there"
 "I'd like to find out, Miss Brit tain. You see, Gerry's a friend of mine and I happen to know that there's one or two people who might want him to disappear. Could you show me where that gas station Is?
