(Continued from Page D sponsored union and the c. I. O. group increased when the lumber company closed its plant. The in- dependent unionists blamed the C. I. o. union for loss of their jobs.
 The town of WestWood is owned by the lumber company and con- troled by the Industrial Employees Union. Yesterday after a riot at the plant, the I. E. U. members set up Kangaroo court, and with the support of the police department which also is controlled by them began to conduct known c. I. O. members and sympathizers out of town.
 The members of the company sponsored union drove through the streets in a truck equipped with a loud speaker system. an announcer calling the names of men whom he believed belonged to the c. I. o. Whenever one was found, he was ordered to come to the truck and state his position.
 Short Shift Given Them
 The crowd gathered closely and if the mans explanation was sat- isfactory, thumbs up" indicated he could go free. If he upheld his al- legiance to the c. I. O. or if his disavowal was doubted, the crowd gave thumbs down" and he was given a short time to pack his be- longings, get his family and leave town.
 Sheriff Olin s. Johnson, who helped to escort the c. I. O. refugees from town, said he was not ordering them away, but merely getting them out for their "protec- tion."
 About 1000 c. I. O. men attempt ed to call a meeting at Red Bluff, an adjoining community. but towns people there refused to permit it. The refugees were driven on by townsmen, who demanded that po- lice evacuate them as soon as they arrived.
 Appeal To Governor
 Some of the refugees organized for march to Sacramento to ap- peal to Gov. Frank Merriam. Mer- riam, however, has gone to San Francisco to greet President Roose- welt and is not expected back for several days.
 The town officers at Westwood permit only I. E. U. men to carry firearms. Throughout the night the drive continued and by this morning only few c. I. O. mem- bers and their families were be- lieved to still be in town.
 At one time during the Kangaroo court session aboard tho truck: the voice in the loudspeaker called out:
 "Wanted four men with rifles"
 The four who appeared were sent to house to route 0. I. O. Ylan. Police did not stop them.

the accused to prove the truth of facts testified to. Documents and records in the possession of the states attorney are, or at least may be, admissible as evi- dence on the trial"
 No Appeal In Sight
 Defense counsel were of the ten. tative opinion today that no appeal would be filed to the supreme court from Judge Inglis' decision on the inspection of the jury's minutes Express permission to appeal would be necessary from Judge Inglis be. cause it is not Q final Judgment.
 In regard to the inspection of the accused documents, however, they said, Tt is real and substantial victory. It will help considerably in the preparation of our defense"
 Reason For Secrecy
 That reason for secrecy continued to operate until the trial is over," contends Judge Inglis in referring to the jury's secrecy of action. De- fense counsel had maintained that the jury's need for secrecy ended when the charges were filed. They also charged that by signing their ames to the report they abrogated the secrecy binders.
 "In Connecticut the question as to whether the minutes of the grand jury proceedings should be opened to the accused to assist him in pre- pairing for trial has never been de- cided by the Supreme Court of Er- rors," comments Judge Inglis. AT appeal in the Merritt Park jury rul- ing is now pending.
 Minutes Not for Attack
 Tt is clear. therefore, that at this stage of the proceedings the min- utes of the grand jury proceedings are not desired by the accused to lay the basis for an attack on the information" said Judge Inglis.
 "Of all the cases cited on the briefs and many others which have been examined not a single case has been found which actually holds that the accused should be allowed to inspect the minutes of the grand jury for the purpose of preparing himself for trial"
 Defense counsel must await word from Special Prosecutor Alcorn who will set the date and place for the inspection of the individual records. MT. Alcorn could not be reached at Hartford today for any comments.

 At Susanville, another adjoining community, 75 refugee. moved in- to town but were ordered on.
 Yesterday, the two rival groups fought a battle which prompted Gov. Merriam to call a platoon of national guards to quell the riot ing. The men used rifles, clubs. and fists, and approximately 30 were injured in the fighting.
 Deputy sheriffs patroled all high ways in the area, halting each car and asking its occupants whether they were members of the c. I. o.
 Sheriff Johnson said the situa- ton had been tense" but he be- lieved that the union lumber work CTS would not attempt to return to Westwood.

 Demurrers Friday

Demurrers Friday
 The only preliminaries remaining to be disposed of before the de- fendants can be put to plea are the demurrers which will be argued be- fore Judge Inglis tomorrow. It is believed that Special Prosecutor AL corn might ask Judge Inglis to set a date for the arraignment of the accused for the purpose of taking pleadings, at the conclusion of to- , morrow'S session.
 Tt is not reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights of the accused nor is it in the interests of justice that an accused be given the minutes of the grand jury be- fore trial so that he may use them to prepare for trial" says Judge Inglis in holding the grand jury's minutes sacred
 Alcorn Must Pick Time
 In allowing the defendants to in- spect their own records which are in the custody of Special Prosecu- tor Alcorn, Judge Inglis specified that the inspections were to be at a time and place designated by MT. Alcorn. The accused may inspect , his records in company with his counsel and a certified public ac- countant if he so desires.
 All inspections will be under the supervision and in the presence of a representative of the states attor- ney. "The whole inspection shall be subject to such further order of the court as may be entered to accomplish justice or to secure a speedy trial of the cases." says Judge Inglis.
 Necessary Said Judge
 "It is necessary for a fair pre- sentation of the case on trial that the accused inspect them in advance of the trial" said Judge Inglis, re- ferring to their own records.
 "Very often documents and rec ords need careful analysis in order to ascertain their true significance and there is no time to make that analysis during the trial"
 Moreover the fundamental req son for the rule denying the right to inspect grand jury minutes in preparation for trial is that 1t per- mits successful tampering with witt nesses to the end that their testi- mony may be changed or colored. That reason does not obtain with reference to written or printed evil dence."
 Testimony Record Not Evidence
 "The record of the testimony before the grand jury is not evi- dence admissible on the trial of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-14

In denying the defendants mos Mons for inspection of the grand Dury,s minutes, Judge Inglis holds Ehat the requests were not made for the purpose of attacking t.le infor- nation but simply because the de- fendants wanted assistance in pre- pairing their defences. No appeal is expected to be taken.

Plenty of Fresh
Water for Sailors

In the old days, only a few hun
dred gallons of fresh water was
carried in our warships, and this
water was guarded well and ra-
toned to the crew with care, so
that enough water would be MAIN
tanned on board for drinking pur-
poses. Today in our Navy it is a
different story, for enough fresh
water is carried in the tanks for
bathing and drinking purposes to
last months.

support of resolution demand
ing the immediate incorporation
of the three Protectorates, Ras-
utoland, Bechuanaland and Swaz-
land in the Union government.
General Hertzod said:
The opposition of the Native
people to the transfer of their ter
ritories to the Union Government
has been voiced by the protest
petitions of Chief Tshekedi Kama
of Bechuanaland and thru mass
protest meetings.
IN his petition to the British
Government, Chief Tshekedi stated
that: The policy of the
Union seems to be to have one
law for the white community and
another law for the native COM
munity, no matter from what ter
ritory.

Situation In Far East To Be Debated
By Two Oriental Scholars at Spelman

A discussion on Japan Versus
China" which should arouse the
intense interest of everyone con-
cerned with the Sino-Japanese sit
uation today, will be presented
in Sisters Chapel at Spelman Col
lege, on Tuesday evening, January
Is, by two gifted speakers from
the Orient, DIR. Yutaka Minakuchi
and DR.. No Yong Park, in what
promises to be the outstanding
debate of the season in Atlanta,
Both of the debaters are authori-
ties on Far Eastern affairs.
Speaking for Japan will be DR..
Minakuchi, one of the ablest rep
resentatives of the Christian jap
anese in America. He is a native
Japanese, a brilliant scholar and
powerful orator. DR.. Minakuchi
received his education in four lead
ing American universities, In
Kentucky, North Carolina, Ober-
lin, and Yale, and for several years
has been a national platform ia
vorite.
This unusual debate on the
grave problems of the Far East
offers to the citizens of Atlanta,
as well as to the students of the
Atlanta University system, a rare
opportunity to hear an enlighten-
ing analysis of the critical situa-
ton in the Orient by two men
who recently have spent much
time in gathering facts and study
ing conditions at first hand.
In the meeting at Spelman Col
lege on January IS, the doctors
will offer directly opposed view
points of present conditions in the
Orient, and thus will give the au-
dience an opportunity to form an
intelligent opinion regarding the
existing controversy between the
two great nations.

Ethiopian Trade
Fails, Italy Is
Not Recognized

LONDON (CNA) - Queen VIII
helmina of the Netherlands this
week informed the exiled Emperor
Halle Selassie of Ethiopia that the
Netherlands had mo intention of
proceeding to give de jure recog-
milton of "Italy's Ethiopian En-
pre-"
simultaneously, the London
Times published dispatch from
its correspondent in Jibuti, French
Somiland, citing a tremendous
drop in exports from Ethiopia as
a result of the hostility of the pop
ulation to the Fascist invaders.
Exports of coffee, hides and
skins, which in 1884 formed nine
tenths of the total Ethiopian ex-
ports and were worth around
$5,000,000, have virtually come to
standstill, the correspondent re-
ported. The Philippians have re-
fused to cultivate their lands I'M
der the Italian occupation, he said.
Vast tracts of agricultural land
have been left to lie fallow.
Attempts to regulate the cost of
living have failed. In the towns
it is several hundred per cent
higher than it used to be, and
prices are arbitrarily fixed. This
state of affairs works particular
hardship on the italian laborers
and merchants who have been in
duced to emigrate to Ethiopia.
In addition, the prevalence of
guerilla warfare has to limit Ital-
ian control to the cities where
they maintain large garrisons.

Urban League
Protest CCC
Discrimination

NEW YORK (CNA)-Charles A.
Collier, Jr., Industrial Secretary of
the New York Urban League, in
letter to CCC Director Robert
Fechner, demanded the opening of
additional camps and larger
quota for Negro boys, it was learn
ed this week.
Assistant Director Charles Tay-
lor stated that steps are being
taken to correct the unfair condi-
ton of assigning only a few Ne
gro boys to the camps.
The quota is supposed to be 7.03
per cent for Negroes in New York
State on a comparative popula-
ton basis.
Expressing concern over the fact
that relatively few Negro lads are
being sent to the CCC camps, Col
lier urged larger state quota on
the more equitable basis of need
rather than percentage of Negroes
in the population. 1t was pointed
out that Negro families constituted
4.47 of the population in New York
City in 1880 and 21.7 per cent of
the families on Home Relief in
1886.
Commenting on this situation,
Collier continued: Negroes consti-
tute about IL per cent of the pop
ulation of the borough of Manhat-
tan. 1t is also important to con-
slider the few opportunities for
employment, training and recre-
alton open to them and their great
err relative need evidenced by an
overwhelming proportion on pub
lie and private relief"
In the December consignment
1900 white boys were accepted
and only 81 Negro boys were
chosen. Yet two months ago more
than 400 Negro boys from the city
were assigned. When Collier ques-
toned the apparent discrepancy,
Taylor whitewashed the discrimi-
natory practice by referring to the
curtailment of funds. Collier con-
tended that the Negro quota of 80
for New York City was far too
inadequate to meet the need.
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1938-01-21

1884. When distributed among the
average family of five, this repre-
sents a total monthly income per
person of $1.75. Between 1920
and 1880, Negroes lost almost
three million acres of land they
once owned, an area equal to twice
the size of the state of Delaware.
Or all Negro workers, another
1850 are in domestic service, gen.
orally working long hours for lit
tie pay. Negro skilled and semi
skilled workers, comprising anoth-
er 1870 are at the mercy of the
trade unions, often barred from
membership and forced to "scab''
in order to work.
These facts would indicate that
the Negro has yet far to go to at
tain anything like a satisfactory
economic, political and social sta
tus in America, in spite of his phe-
nomenal climb out of slavery.
Above and beyond the cold but
realistic and necessary economic
aid, the NYA program is even
more significant to Negro youth in
its frontal attack upon some of
their basic problems. The student
aid benefits make some approach
to their lack of educational oppor-
tunity. In addition, the college
aid combined with the special Ne
gro graduate aid fund of $4,000
make possible rare opportunity
for the training of a leadership
whose influence will reach count
less thousands. Employment upon
carefully planned work projects
provides work experience, explor-
atory tryout opportunities and ac-
tual vocational training at urban
and rural training centers.
AS Director of the Division of
Negro Affairs in the National
Youth Administration, 1 travelled
over 10000 miles last year, visit
ed over 70 centers in 81 states
from Texas to the Carolinas and
from New York to Florida preach
ing the gospel of interracial coop
Grafton, the recognition of Negro
needs and the efficacy of trained
Negro leadership. New respect
was won for Negro leadership and
accomplishment. Negro youths
were taught to embrace the bene-
fits of NYA only as an opportun-
ity and stimulus for ultimate
self-support and self-reliance. The
problems of Negro youth were re-
cognized and attacked as Ameri-
can problems IN a spirit of whole
some racial cooperation.
