the traditional blight of productive en-
terprise in our Nation simply ignor-
ing its existence. 1t would, in truth,
be Red Letter Day for this media
if the Treasury would grant it, even
small appropriation for the promotion
of the Regular Purchase Plan outlined
for the Savings Bonds.
"We ask you, Mr. President If you
will, in the goodness and fairness and
generosity of your great heart, give
the Negro Press this slight recogni-
ton by ordering its participation IN
the Savings Bond promotion?
please do not let our request be
lost in the suggestion that the lrea-
sury is not advertising in newspapers
THE Treasury is advertising, and the
Negro Press exists. Many colored
citizens are in position to invest II
the modest Savings Bonds. Will you
not let it be said in the annals of the
Negro Press. that it was Presiden
Roosevelt, for love of whom coloret
citizens broke ironclad political tradi
ton, who in turn gave the press o
that people a new lease on lie by rec

Henry G. johnson, colored, OF
208 I st. S. E., told Judge Walter
j. Casey in Traffic Court yester'
day that his speedometer wasn't
working-but that did not prevent
getting a sentence of $25 or 30
days for fourth offense speeding.
johnson, who was arrested for
going 81 miles per hour on Wis
consin Avenue Northwest, was
charged also with driving without
a permit, which had been revoked
in November for third-offense
speeding. When arrested, johnson
was driving truck used for haul
ing bricks and bearing Virginia
tags.
johnson testified that he put
the State tags on the truck and
obtained q Virginia driving license
after his District permit had been
revoked. He was given suspended
sentence of 500 or 80 days for
driving without a permit. The
suspended sentence carried a per.
