And New Deal

DR.. Emmett J. Scott, Assistant
Publicity Director of the Republi-

of Negro Press Activities, recent
~ wrote as follows on the sub
ject of the Colored People and the
New Deal:
Whatever small gains have
been made, have been more than
over-balanced. swamped, as 1t
were, by the inequities of admin
stration.
"The second National Confer
ence on the Problems of the Me-
gro and Negro Youth unsparingly
called attention to glaring dis
ordinations and miscellaneous ten
denotes In the administration of
most of these agencies.
I'm the case of one of them, the
Conference noted a tendency to
use Federal funds for purposes of
fixing residential patterns accord
ing to local prejudices, thereby es-
tablishlng segregated areas and
racial ghettos', reference being
made to the Federal Housing Nd
ministration. Many similar in
stances of glaring discrimination
were pointed out. Particularly,
failure to appoint colored men to
positions In administrative and
policy-making bodies, where the
greatest influence and wisdom are
most necessary to safeguard min
GRITTY rights.
There has been no effort made
to integrate Negroes into private
industry. The great masses of CO.
lored people still remain "reliefers'
or 'dolees.' In the field of Relief
Administration, the Second Con-
ference on Negro Problems pointed
out that experience has shown
that Relief Administrators in ma
ny states and municipalities either
lack sympathetic understanding of
the problems of minority groups,
or are DESTROYS of preventing Ne
groes from equitably sharing the
benefits of relief programs" Scott
said.

The Man In Black

The first Africans to come to
America were brought as colony
servants and not slaves. Many of
them were Christians; Anthony
Johnston, shortly after his arrival,
became a landowner. He was the
first black man to establish town
in America; he later became
slave owner.
Americas battle grounds in
every war has had its share of
black heroes. Mark Starlin was
Captain in the Virginia navy dur
ing the revolution and fought a.
gainst the British fleet in the
James River. James Armistead, a
slave, served as spy for Cornwall
lis on Lafayette at York Town.
William Lee, colored, was one of
General Washington's most worthy
soldiers and body guards. The
black troops were commanded al
most altogether by white officers,
as there was doubt that the black
man would make a good soldier,
and black officer was out of the
question. Later, Massachusetts,
commissioned ten black officers,
Kansas three and the military au-
thorities of Louisiana IS. The
blacks held altogether about 80
commissions in the army during
the Civil War. Colonel T. w. Hig-
ginson believed that it would have
been madness to attempt with the
bravest white troops what he sue
cessfully accomplished with the
blacks. They sacrificed themselves
along with their leader, Colonel
Robert Gould Shaw, who in the
charge, fell mortally wounded. In
the Mississippi Valley, the blacks
fought with unwonted courage.
For making six desperate charges
of a Fort at Port Hudson, they
were cited for heroic conduct, since
no troops could have been more de-
termined or daring. New COM
batants from Louisiana, showing
themselves equally brave, suffered
martyrdom at Millikens Bend. And
SO went others to death in the
massacre at Fort Pillow in Tennes-
see. On the Potomac and else
where, the blacks maintained their
reputation as soldiers. Under Cen
eral Wild, at Fort Powhatan in
1864, the black warriors held their
ground against the heavy I'M
slaught of Fitzhugh Lees brilliant
soldiers, who were badly beaten in
the conflict. When General Grant
was endeavoring to capture Pc
tersburg, Hinck's black division
dashed forward and cleared the
line of rifle-pits and carried re-
doubt ahead. To be continued.

Your House And

Everything must be done to
make the luncheon table attrac-
tive. There should always be a
pretty centerpiece and as at break
fast, the low bowl with a few flo
wers in a holder in the Japanese
fashion or a bowl of gay assorted
fruit is better than the more pre-
tentious centerpiece. Remember,
flowers make any table cheerful.
There is nothing that will spoil
the beauty of your table regard
less of your costly china or silver,
if it has not been correctly set ac-
cording to our table rules. First
of all don't crowd it with too many
what-nots, as it never shows good
taste.
Standard Table Rules
1. The knife is placed at the
right.
2. The spoons to the right.
3. The water glass is placed at
the very point of the knife.
A. Remember, the edge of the
knife is always turned in.
5. The forks are placed to the
left.
6. The bread and butter plates
are placed at the tip of the forks.
z. And the napkins-some peo-
pie have such a grand time with
those. They place them anywhere,
but where they should be. Nap
kins are placed at the left. Re-
member, the opening facing you.

THE GRAVEST DANGER
OF THEM ALL

Ham-and-Eggs promoters have sold
their pension scheme to the aged and
needy on the promise that it will make
life path of roses after 80.
Perhaps the most tragic thing of all
about the plan is that it would have Just
the opposite effect in California.
Promoters of the plan mulct pennies
from the aged with promise of $50
every Thursday. All their plan offers
in writing is 80 pieces of paper every
Thursday that will cost whoever is fool
ish enough to accept them total of $1.04
for each ST in face value
In the background waits misery deeper
than any California has yet known for
her senior citizens.
The federal government has already
warned that approval of the utopian pen
sion scheme will cause withdrawal from
this state of federal old age pension
funds Thousands now receiving these
funds in hard cash would lose them inn
mediately. They are told by those who
are making money out of the Ham-Eggs
plan that they would no longer need the
federal cash. They are told by the busi-
ness men upon whom they would have to
depend to accept the warrants that the
warrants are not acceptable Whom can
they believe?
1t would be safer to believe the busi-
ness men, for upon them depends sue
cess of the pension plan-and they have
already indicated that they will not take
the worthless paper it will have printed.
There is a fable among Aesop's writ
ings-one about a dog and bone and
mirror-like stream = which California
residents should consider closely. The
fable tells how the dog lost his bone be-
cause, looking in the water, he thought
he saw another bone, larger and better
than his and tried to grab it. He found
it was only a reflection, which is just
another way of saying it was wishful
thinking on his part.
California can and should learn the
lesson that simple fable has taught to
millions of persons. If it does learn the
lesson, California will not snatch for the
mythical benefits of bigger, better pen
sions offered through a mythical scheme,
but will keep what it has and add to the
sure thing slowly. sanely and safely
We must provide means for more ade-
quate pensions for those who deserve
them We cannot do anything of that
sort by setting the state back many years
and that is just what approval of the
Ham-Eggs plan would mean.
Ham-and-Eggs would be harder on the
old people than on anybody else, for they
would lose what they already have, lose
the prospects of immediate improvement,
and suffer intense disillusionment into
the bargain. For their own sake the older
people should vote mo-.

WASHINGTON While the ma

on the European war, a major
disaster has developed inside the
United States.
One of the worst autumn
drouths on record has parched
farm lands in 80 states. Confused
mass migrations of stricken farm
families are beginning in north

reports that 115,O00 families are
