ITALY GOES "ARYAN",
PLANS RACIAL TERROR,

ROME, July, (VNA)-A sharpen
ing of the worldwide fascist campaign
of slander against Negroes, Jews and
other "non-European peoples" was
foreshadowed this week by publication
of a fantastic "race" credo by Premier
Benito Mussolini's newspaper, Gior-
male d'Italia.
The issuance of a Fascist racist Gre
do capped series of jimcrow edicts
promulgated by the Italian army oi
occupation in Ethiopia and anti-J Jewish
actions initiated by the Rome govern
ment at home. 1t indicated that Mus
solini is now ready to follow Hitler:
lead in campaign of violence against
the Jews.
The race" rigmarole, reading like
the hallucinations of scientist gone
mad, was drawn up by group o
fascist university professors under the
auspices .of the Ministry of "Nationa
Cultura'. It's ten points are obvious

John Henry is a growing boy, ap-
preaching twenty-four he is naturally
getting heavier and each day empha-
sizes the difficulty aforementioned. The
most skeptical admit there are none of
the big boys as ringwise as he. The
unbiased say he is one of the fastest
big fellows the ring has ever seen. His
rabid fans believe anything possible
with him. Add this up and divide by
three, and you probably will get the
following answer: Lewis has lots OF
business in the same ring with most
of the top notch heavies today.
Couple this with the fact that none
in his camp know the day or the hour
when his hulk will refuse to give away
the necessary blubber to bring him
down to one and three quarter hun
dreds, which an all too hostile conf
mission might demand, and you car
see the reason for John taking whir

There is considerable speculation in
some quarters, as to why John Henry
Lewis is matched against Tony Galen-
to.
There may be answers and most OF
them nearly right, ours would be some
thing like this.
John Henry Lewis is hard, hard
man at 1872 pounds, his finest fighting
weight Making one hundred and sew
enty-five pounds is too much for him
to do and go on fighting successfully.
Anyone who happens to follow hin
around when he is making this re
quired fighting weight can realize tho

Along with the chains went the
sweat-box and whippings with CATO
nine tails, which all come under the
latest reform methods instituted by
Gov. E. D. Rivers.
Last November after the state had
received nationwide publicity because
of its cruel and inhuman treatment OF
prisoners, recommendations were made
to Governor Rivers by public spirited
organizations that he do something
about correcting evils existing in the
chain gang system of the state.
He took these recommendations un-
der advisement, and this week issued
his proclamation regarding handling
convicts in the states l18 prison
camps.
Other Reforms
With removal of the chains, for
years worn by all prisoners in labor
camps, came regulations that prohibit
whipping, the use of sweat boxes, and
other inhuman forms of punishment.
In the future the prison gangs will
be known as public works camps and
the coRvicts will build roads and work
on prison farms. Only those who can
not be trusted to work without shack
les will be confined.
/ Conxiets now in the industrial pris-
on will be sent to the camps when
found trustworthy. Youths will be
separated from hardened criminals.
Georgia has a state prison popula.
ton of $500, three-fourths of whom
are of the black race. Until 1908 ths
state leased convicts to private con
tractors, but the system became vir.
tual slavery to the prisoners who were
often underfed and beaten to death.
The first expose came when Johr
Spivak made tour of Georgia prison
camps and later wrote his book en-
titled, Georgia Niger. 1t brough

Colored Elks Club Loses Court Battle
Hook Is Proposed As COP Candidate

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 26.- (UP)-The Hartford COurant, in q leading editorial, today proposed James W. Hook, New Haven, president of the New England Council and head of the Geometric Tool Co.,, here, for the Republican nomination for U. $. senator or governor.
 His broad vision and sound business judgment" the edito- rial said, have been recognized by his election to various boards and commissions.
 "In him are happily combined what passes for the prOgressiv- ism of the west and what is called the conservatism of the east.
 His is the point of view of a liberal in the best meaning of that much abused term. His associates in business properly regard him as one of the coun- try's most enlightened indus trialists.
 "There is nothing of the tenn pOrizing sort about him, but his own convictions are tempered by a keen appreciation of op- posing opinion.
 Perhaps no man in C0nnec- ticut has a better understand ing of the nations economic and special problems or q saner conception of the realities of life"

Officers Fail To Prevent Fine In
 City Court Today
Club Charged With Violation of State Liquor Law; System Claimed to Be Same as Practiced in Many
 Country Clubs, According to Witnesses

The Waterbury lodge of Colored Elks came of second best in a joust with the law today Though it's of- f1cers marched to the witness stand. Judge Theobald E. Conway ruled In city court that the club had vio- lated the state liquor laws, and im- posed a fine of $50 and costs on Hilliard Evans, 40, of 56 Pearl street, club steward. The court remitted $25 of the fine.
 Club officers contended that liquor was not sold on the premises, but that each member had his own sup ply of liquor and that the only charge made was for "set-ups" of ice, ginger ale and glasses.
 An account book, however, which listed apparent bills owed for drinks by members of the lodge, was not satisfactorily explained.
 The Colored Elks' troubles with the law began few days ago when Chief Inspector Simeon w. Nichols of the state liquor control commis- sion and Lieut.. Patrick Moylan of 'iiN icNoi FAtC oHhhd FloitCu LilC tllD rooms on East Hawkins street and arrested Evans on a charge of sell ing liquor without a license. A battle of whiskey, bottle of gin and half case of beer were seized
 Charles Demo, chairman of htc house committee and past exalted ruler of the lodge, was the first defense witness. He explained that each member buys whatever he wants to drink and leaves it at the club. When he wants drink, he said, he calls for his bottle. If he wants mixed Grink, then he pays for the set-up. Each bottle. he says, has a label pasted on, bear ing the owners name. The Whiskey bottle did have name, that of MT. Evans, but the gin bottle had no owners name. MT. Demo explained the label must have fallen off.
 This same system, said MT. Demo, is used at the WatertoWn Country club, was used at the Mattatuck Country club, and at many other clubs in the vicinity.

 They must have completed a four year apprenticeship in the trade ap- piled for, or have had four years of practical experience in such trade, the substantial equivalent of com pleted apprenticeship.
 An information regarding the ex- as well as the necessary forms, may be obtained from the secretary of the board of civil service examiners at Room 107 in the local post office; from the manager, first U. s. civil service dis trict, 1040 post office building, Bos- ton, or from the recorder of the la bor board, at the naval torpedo sta- tion, Newport, R. l., with whom must be filed on or be- fore September 8, 1888.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-26

Secretary Fred Fitch Of the lodge offered similar testimony, and in- sisted that no drinks could be bought at the club.
 Ferris Williams, esquire of the lodge, said that the system for beer was the same as that for Whiskey and gin. The club member, he said, bought case and left it at the club. Whenever he took a bottle, a mark was placed against his name on a large chart on the wall. The lodge, he explained proudly, has 6G active members.
 MT. Evans proved a poor witness in his own behalf. He said that the account book was used to keep track of soft drinks and set-ups owed for by members. He could not explain, however, any entry of $140, for "a round of drinks"
 The book, he said, was only a formality. He dept;lds principally on his memory, he said
 bhNtCiiiIJ IlSt iShbbJ odiu Dt~ lieVed the method was legitimate and asked for a discharge for Evans
 Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers em- phasized the importance of the &C., count book and claimed that the club was selling liquor in violation of the law.
 In finding Evans guilty, Judge Conway said he did not feel there was any intentional violation of the law, and that he knew the mem bers of the lodge as men of stand ing in the community. There was however, a violation Of the law.
 The fine and costs, totallling $3450, were paid, the money, 1t is understood, coming from the lodge treasury.
