" one escapes them. But, remember the poor
kids who have had nothing but succession Of
hard knocks With them it is the survival Of the

If Millard Tydings in his statement really
means that "the right Of our people to pass
Judgment on their representatives without fear,
intimidation or outside interference is again be-
ing called into question" he certainly is giving
nasty dig to the powers that be in insinuating
that any one would intimidate or try to threaten
anybody as to how he should vote.
If Mr.. Tydings feels so strongly about this, why
isn't he an outandcut Republican? I think

three more yellow ones and tied them
up. They were the prettiest dogs I
ever saw.
Then he looked in at another cage

a guinea spig in 1t, but he didn't
take them out. Then he opened the

Yesterday about dusk none of the
little children in the 1900 block Of
Massachusetts, avenue Sc. would come
to supper. Mothers called police
Police said they would see what could
be done.
The reason the neighborhood kids
wouldn't come early was that they all
had their noses pasted against the
fence of the Carl Coal Co., at 1916
Massachusetts, avenue Sc, watching
the almost unbelievable sight inside the
yard.
The best part was it didn't cost any

Football Stickers

Col. M. S. Battle. director of

them to urge students to refrain
from placing football stickers and
other signs on the windshields

Referring to this custom of "in-

POTOMAC BRIDGE
HOPE BEING HELD
Maryland State Roads Chief
Expects Appropriation
of Second Span.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.-Chairman
j. Glenn Beall of the Maryland State
Roads Commission disclosed today the
commission still has hopes" of obtain
ing p. w. A. assistance to build a
Potomac River bridge near Morgan
town.
Mr.. Beall said the Federal agency
had approved aid for bridge over the
Susquehanna, and admitted there was
some question" Of quota limits pre-
venting ALLEGATION of funds for other
bridges, but added:
I'VE are trying to get the Potomac
River bridge along with the Susque-
hanna bridge and it looks hopeful. I
think the p w. A. will find the money
to finance it,
Depends on Court.
Meanwhile, the commissions much
pared bridge program depended on
ruling by the Court Of Appeals as to
the legality Of its plan for issuing
bonds to finance it,
Safely approved was the $2,l67 900
P. W. A. grant for the $4,8l5, 900
Susquehanna River Bridge at Havre de
Grace, but the bond issuance plan has
been contested before the Appeals
Court. !
The suit contends the plan calls for
retirement Of the bonds by bridge tolls,
and that the constitution requires acts
authorized bonds must provide taxes
to retire them.
The Susquehanna River Bridge at
Havre de Grace was part of a s3o,-
100000 four-bridge program planned
by the commission and submitted to
p. w. A.
Plans Are Announced.
In Washington today engineer plans
for the new Susquehanna span were
announced by the Public Works Ad-
ministration. The bridge will consist
OF a series Of steel truss spans sup
ported on concrete piers and abut-
ments, designed to carry a 46-foot
roadway. There also will be an emer-
eency walkway 2 feet 6 inches wide, on
each side. The total length of the
bridge from the Havre de Grace shore
to Perryville will be sofa feet.
The new bridge will replace the old
double-deck highway bridge which was
built In 1873, and is now in poor
structural condition, and entirely in
adequate for present-day traffic re-
quirements. 1t was originally built for
railroad trafflc and later converted
into use for vehicles.
This bridge. together with one
miles up stream at Conowingo, are the
only two main highway bridges for
vehicular traffic between Baltimore
and Philadelphia.
The Federal allotment, which was
granted at the direction of President
Roosevelt, will be made available to
the Maryland Roads Commission,
which will superintend construction of
the new bridge The old highway
bridge will be dismantled

kite flying II dangerous 4 not done
in open places away from electric
wires and moving vehicles
The kite should not have q metal
frame, wire string, tinsel tail, on
even wet string ol wet cloth Tail.
These are some Of the precau
tions recommended for the protee
ton of children Ly Robert II krone,
safety director Of The Cincinnati Gas
& Electric Company They are con-
tanned in bulletins and posters dis
tributed by him 10 public, pafoehial
and private schools In Greater Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Middletown.
Officials Of Boy Scouts, YMCA and
other youth organizations have also
been requested 70 cooperate il this
move to insure minimum Of need
less accidents.
Krone urges all wood construc-
ton for kite frames. Metal frames
wire string and tinsel tails, he point
out, are hazardous. Ii either q
them comes ia contact with an cleo
tric wire, not only is the child flying
the kite in danger Of being shocked
but a resultant damage to the cleo
tric system in that locality is easily
possible.
The plea for children to fly kites
elsewhere than around electric wires
Krone says, is purely one for chil,
protection. Kite flying should not b.
done near any Travelled street q
highway. No effort should be made
TO rescue a kite lodged in eleetii
wires or tree, he adds, as climb
ing may lead to falling and seriou
injury,
Parents are appealed to by Kron
for support in this safety campaign
He emphasizes that scarcity of ac-
cidents from kite flying in the pas
being a sport fraught with extrem
does not lesson the possibility of it
danger.

Robson Declares
Solidarity With
Spanish l.oyalists

BARCELONA (CNA) - Paul
Robson, internationally famous
singer and actor expressed sympathy
and solidarity with the cause of the
Spanish government and people in
their fight against fascism following
visit to the battlefelds Of Spain
where he sang for the Loyalist
troops.
The famous singer warmly praised
the courage and heroism Of the peo--
pie of Madrid and the high morale of
the people of heroic Madrid, which
have just visited. Madrid is a
wonder of heroism, fortitude and
stoicism. There never was a more
heroic city, and at the same time it
has not lost any of its charactistic
Observation-Disclosures, charm and good
humor."
On his visit to Madrid, Robson
was accompanied by his wife, and
the English writer Charlotte Haldane,
wife of the English scientist, Hal
dane.
His concert on the battlefield was
the first Of series, Robson gave
for the Spanish Republic. His pro-
gram was relayed BY all stations, and
on the battlefield it was amplified by
loud speakers. Thus not only the
Loyalist troops but the rebels facing
them could hear. He later spent
an entire afternon singing for 900
Americans of the International Bri--
gade, includig several Negro youths.
Robson arrived in Barcelona a
few hours after rebel planes answer.

bombardment Of civilian towns with
a savage bombardment of Barcelona,
in which more than 400 civilians were
killed and several thousand wounded.

DAYTON YOUTH
MOVEMENT
| DETECTIVES
By LEWIS D. MORGAN

ia the past meetings Of the Day
ton Youth Movement, an organiza-
ton for the betterment of the Civil
Rights of Negroes, the members dis
cussed the Civil Rights Of the col
orcd people in Dayton. The laws Of
the state and city are supinely abro-
gated by several business firms re-
garding the civil rights Of black citi
zens. DO these people believe that
an ayenging God will much longer
turn His face away and withhold
lis wrath on this social and civil
injustice?
The black people do not ask social
equality nor the privilege OF being
married to other races, but they do
ask that the suppression of their
civil rights cease. This so-called
race prejudice is feigned and
thoroughly political, because inn
moral tendencies are sent among us
from south of the Mason Dixon line
in mulatto men and women, who are
the progeny Of the flower of the
chivalry Of the South. We have in
our midst black man, lineal des-
cendant Of Virginian, who was a
signer of the Declaration of Inde--
pendence. All this mistreatment is
the work of secularities, as men who
| perpetuate in it could not be called
! Christians.
The whites have changed in this
! sinful wrath Of keeping human be-
/ ings in slavery to the denial Of the
same once bondmen the civil rights
! guaranteed by the Constitution. Be-
cause we are Secular Democracy,
this goes on legally. Were we a
Christian Democracy, recognizing
! God as sovereign, Jesus Christ as the
Savior and Mediatorial King of ma
ton, and the Holy Bible as the source
of nation, state, and city authority,
| such things would not be possible.
We have only recently read of
| the filibustering of our highly es--
| teemed Southern Senators to kill a
bill designed to protect our black
citizens in the Southern States. Some
| state constitutions Of the South read
| that only white voters are entitled
to suffrage, fact we as nation
should be ashamed of. The North
was punished by Almighty God for
permitting that iniquitous institution
of human slavery, yet we, in Dayton,
sit idly BY while the constitution
of nation, state, and city is abro-
gated regarding the civil rights and
other rights of our Negro citizens,
Why deny the rights Of people,
members Of which bore the physical
burden of the Roman Cross at the
Crucifxion, have been loyal in all
,, wars, are not bolshevists, who even
in ignorance imposed BY human
slavery sang songs to Heavens King
in their lowly cabins and inspired
spiritual music, the best they had OF
knew in the absence of Uncle David's
Manual.

papers are listed this year than ever
before; second, the small papers, as
a class, are given an equal opportun--
ity to shine in the greatest news
paper authority in the world; and
third, the list is more nearly accurate
this year than ever before, even
though some errors Of commission
and omission crept into it.
At this point we wish to suggest
that editors, in the future, consider
more carefully their statements when
asked for voluntary report on their
papers. A few papers are listed
with circulation figures which are
absurd, but the number was carried
simply because the editor gave it.
1t is always good policy to appear
at your best, but always poor policy
to attempt to be what you are not.
Some editors, clearly, are trying to
| fool the public. On the whole, how
| ever, the statements seem to be
reasonable, we are glad to say.
The time is coming, in the Negro
! field, when standard sources Of in--
! formation will be used, almost ex-
clusively, BY persons or enterprises
interested in doing business in this
| field, and that makes it important
that our newspapers work hard, and
try to show little improvement from
! year to year, rather than try to reach
giant proportions overnight.
We trust editors land adyertisersl
will not only get this issue (Janu-
ary 29) of Editor & Publisher and
keep it for reference. but get it
regularly each week and read it Ia
