edge Of the physician or surgeon
Is indispensable, and the art OF the
nurse who has been trained In the
technique during actual service In
the operating-roon and ct the bed
side under the personal instruc-
ton Of qualified physicians and
nurses.
In the first aid and after-treat-
ment Of wounds or burns the best
course for the layman to follow Is
one Of non interference, whether
tincture Of iodine Is applied as q
disinfectant or not. Ordinarily the
less the wound Is handled, treated,
dressed or disturbed, the better for
healing.
There are sound reasons why the
competent physician should re.
move the dressings from broken
arm or leg every day or two - to
give gentle massage and prevent
atrophy Of the unused muscles,
make graduated passive move
ments to prevent permanent stiff
fleming In joints; to make sure the
bone Is In the best position for
healing, for otherwise the frag-
ments might get far out OF place
In the days following reduction"
or setting" Of the fracture.
But once Q wound Is rendered
aseptic, free from germs, and the
margins or raw surfaces are re-
tanned In opposition by the relaxa-
ton and adjustment Of the limb
and the proper support and dress
ing, there Is no excuse for dis
turbing the healing process and
perhaps delaying Anal healing for
a day or two every time the first
dressing Is removed and another
applied.

Night Shirts
Ride Again

MIAMI, Fla (CNA)-The Ku
Klux Khan rode in Miami this last
week.
Sixty-six cars, their licenses CO.
vered, with the same cloth
which hid the faces of their driv-
ers, sped through Miami's main
boulevard to the beach causeway.
Traffic lights were ignored.
1t was the second Khan Konclave
in this city within month. Sew
eral weeks ago, a similar ride was
made on the Negro section of the
town, while drivers shouted insults
upon the Negro population and or
dered them to "stay away from
Communism"
The revived Khan activities are
seen here as connected with the
approaching primaries. Repeal of
the poll-tax resulted in a record
turnout registration by voters in
this country. 1t is reported that
LOO Negro voters registered as
independents or Republicans, the
only way they can register since
the Democratic Party bars Ne
groes from its ranks.

Huntingdon, Tenn. Bill Jack
Bledsoe, who was convicted of
murder, July 26, 1887, had his con-
vcition reversed by the Tennessee
supreme court last week, and the
case remanded for a new trial.
Bledsoe was convicted of kill
ing George Stanford, white ov-
erseer on the R. c. Denny plant
alton located about six miles from
Milan, Tennessee. He received a
sentence to twenty years in prison.
All the evidence in the case SEEM
ed to support Bledsoe's contention
that he shot in self-defense.
The shooting followed an argu-
ment over grass seed. Bledsoe, who
was born on the Denny farm, had
planted the grass seed but had
been told subsequently to move off
by the riding boss and the latter
is said to have promised to pay
Bledsoe for the seed but failed to
do so.

Race Prejudice
Being Investigated

New York City, - Data on the
discrimination against Negroes by
the IVA, is being assembled by
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
and will be presented to the joint
committee from the House and the
Senate which is to investigate the
IVA.
The N.A.A.C.P. has some mater
ial in its files, but desires addi-
tional information on the treat
ment of Negro citizens in the T.
VA. as to work opportunities, pro-
motions, housing, recreations, and
other features.
1t is known, for instance, that
Negroes are not allowed to live in
the government-built town Of Nor
ris, Tenn, at Norris Dam. It is
known also, that in the vast con-
struction work through the whole
IVA. area, Negroes were restrict
ed to certain types of work and did
not have any supervisory positions
|. Even on concrete-pouring
gangs, there were no Negro fore
men. There were no Negro white
collar workers. No Negro skilled
labor was employed except in a
very few instances when it was
engaged in the construction OF
houses for Negroes only.

making substantial contribution
to the promotion of the educa-
tional work in South Africa would
be taken up by colored people in

Police Frame
Race Youth

NEW YORK (CNA) -How 80
year old white policeman attempt
ed to redeem himself from a tarn-
ished career on the force, through
framing a 19-year-old boy, was
disclosed here this week in Cen
eral Sessions Court by District At
torney Thomas E. Dewey.
The boy, Tim Smith, of 129 West
128th Street, had already spent
seven months in Jail, following his
conviction last December 81, of
violation of the Sullivan Act. The
star witness against him was Po-
liceman Henry Stenblinck, of 1872
Ninth Street, Brooklyn, whose 81
black marks since he came to the
police force in 1927 were fast
bringing him to the end of his car
eer as policeman.
AS Smith stepped up before
Judge Morris Koenig for sentence,
District Attorney Dewey rose, and
in dramatic manner declared:
IF your honor please, I move
to set aside this conviction on the
ground that a thorough investiga-
ton of this case has disclosed that
this defendent has been convicted
on perjury testimony, not only by
one witness, but on the purjured
testimony of a policeman and all
the witnesses called by the people"
Judge Koenig, who became sus-
picious during Smiths trial, of dis
crepancies in the policeman's testi-
mony, and ordered thorough in
vestigation of the case, immediate
ly acquiesced, and ordered Smith
freed. The policeman was immed-
lately suspended by Police Com
missioner Valentine Dewey an
nounced that he will ask that
Steinblinck be indicted on a charge
of perjury.

Utilities Lose
Fight With Race

NEW YORK (CNA)-A vigor-
GUS fight by Harlem organizations
against job discrimination, by the
big public utilities particularly,
was crowned with a tremendous
victory this week with the capitu-
lation of the powerful Consolidated
Edision Electric and Gas Co. The
concern agreed to hire Negro ca
shiers and service men.
Announcement of the victory
was made at a press conference
in the office of the Rev. Clayton
Powell, Jr., pastor of the Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church and chairman
of the Greater New York Coordin-
ating Committee for Employment
of Negroes.
Capitulation of the company
came a few hours prior to the ex-
piration of an ultimatum delivered
by a mass meeting attended by
5000 persons. Rev. Powell related
that his committee was called to
a conference with Colonel William
Stillwell, vice president of Conso-
idated Edison Electric, at which
they were informed that the COM
pany was ready ''to employ Ne
groes in all branches when the
time came for re-hiring." Mean
time, as a pledge of good faith, the
company would Immediately en-
ploy Negroes as cashiers and SER
vice men in it's two Harlem offices.
Colonel Stillwell promised that
this would be put into effect i'm
mediately, with a two week train
ing period for the employees, be-
ginning next Monday.
Rev. Powell said no response had
been received as yet from the New
York Telephone Co., which was al
so sent an ultimatum that it must
discontinue it's policy of discrim-
ination in employment against Ne
groes or face struggle. Picket
ing of the company will start this
week, Rev. Powell said, if it con-
tinued to adhere to its jim-crow
policy. A boycott would also be
instituted, with an appeal" to all
people, black and white, to stop
dialing numbers and instead call
the operator to get the number,
thus forcing employment of more
people.

Walter White Is Threatened
By K. K. K. In Dallas, Texas

NEW YORK, May Threats
by the Ku Klux Khan to injure
Walter White, secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, and riot
melting stories in two daily news
papers in Dallas, Tex. failed to
prevent the New Yorker from de-
livering his speech in Dallas Fri
day, April 29, it was revealed here
today by the national office of the
N.A.A.C.P.
Mr. White. on a tour of south
ern states, was scheduled to speak
to the Dallas Interracial Commits
sion at the white Y.W.C.A. Friday
afternoon, April 20, but after an
advance notice of his speech had
been published in the daily papers
April %, movement was started
by the Khan and the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans and the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy to prevent
his speaking. Earl E. Hurt, Com
mander of the Texas division of the
Sons of Confederate Veterans, pro-
tested against the appearance of
Mr.. White
Mr.. Hurt called on District At
torney Andrew Patton to ascer-
tain if there were any legal method
of preventing Mr. White from MAX
ing his speech, but was told by
Mr.. Patton that there was no law
forbidding such speech.
1.-THE Southern white people of
this city, as well as the entire
South, should vigorously protest
against any Negro coming into
our midst, lecturing or talking on
issues inimical to the interests of
both the white and Negro races,
such as the talk scheduled to be
made by this Negro, Walter
White" Hurt said.
Papers Incite Riot Spirit
The Dallas Journal, which did
everything possible to stir up race
feeling, quoted George K. Butcher,
leader of the Ku Klux Khan, as
saying, ''The Negro will not speak
to the white women of Dallas to-
night. The Negro is leaving town,
that is if he can be found I am
ready to start anything they want
me to. I am not going to stand
for these niggers any longer. If
they schedule the meeting some
where else, l will be there. And
I won't be alone, either, you can
tell the world that"
| Despite the threat of Klansman
Butcher, Mr.. White did speak at
the Moorland Y.M.C.A. and an
swered questions from the audi
ence on the anti-lynching bill
fight. About seventeen white peo-
pie were present, including white

Jury Exclusion
Before Court

WASHINGTON, D. c., The
Hale case, challenging the exclu-
sion of Negroes from jury service
in the McCracken county, Ken
lucky, courts was argued in the
United States supreme court
March 80 by Leon A. Ransom, a
member of the national Legal
Committee of the NJ A. A. c. P.
and Charles H. Houston, special
counsel of the association.
Hale was convicted and SEN
fenced to death in the Kentucky
state courts for the alleged MUIR
der of white man who had been
accosting Negro women. He was
indicted for wilful murder by an
all-white grand jury and tried by
an all-white trial jury. The record
showed that the population of Nc
Cracker county was $4,000, of
which 5000 were Negroes; that
approximately 5000 whites and
700 Negroes were eligible for jury
service. But no Negroes had serv-
ed on the jury in the McCracken
county courts for so years, ex-
cept that on one occasion in 1921
an all Negro jury had been picked
up off the streets to try a Negro
on a minor charge.
Counsel pointed out that it was
just as unconstitutional to select
an all Negro jury and exclude all
white people, as it was to select
an all-white jury and exclude all
Negroes. The court took the case
under advisement.
