HITLER MAKES HIS CHOICE

Chancellor Adolf Hitler told the world
last Friday just where he stands in con-
nection with international relations
In reply to President Roosevelt's 10-year
peace proposal, which really put the
worlds most dangerous leader on the spot,
Hitler made it clear that he was not in
terested in signing peace agreements and
that in all of his relations with other coun-
tries, armed forces will play leading role.
In other words, he declared that might
rather than right shall rule and that he
will not participate in a round table con-
ference to negotiate with groups of other
nations.
All of the nations of Europe should be
grateful to President Roosevelt for getting
the mad, dog of that continent to announce
to the world what his intentions are.
AS result it is necessary now for those
nations to increase their armed strength,
with the hope that the people of Germany
will 'see the light" and refuse to follow the
most fearful man ever born on their soil
Herein lies the eternal wish of democrat
cies.

Hundreds of Ashe county farmers are
now getting nice checks from the govern
ment, which they earned by co-operat-
ing with the farm program last year. These
checks are certainly arriving at good
time to help with expenses of starting new
crops. They should also encourage other
farmers to sign up with the 1889 soil con-
servation program. Besides getting money,
to earn payments you must improve your
land. Orders for ground lime are now be-

Philadelphia, Sept. 3 (CNA)-

Five Youths Taken to Jail
For Wanting to Read
In Library, W.D.C.
DENIED LIBRARY USE, FIVE
YOUTHS FACE TRIAL FOR
SIT STRIKE

Washington, Sept. l amp
To the utter amazement of the
crowded court assembled to hear
the charges of disorderly conduct
against five youths who sought
the use of the Alexandria's pub
Bic library, every one of the lads
was neatly dressed, intelligent in
appearance and conducted them
selves as gentlemen should-and
the charges preferred against
them were disorderly conduct.
When the trial got under way,
both the librarian and the arrest
ing Officer declared that tire
was no evidence of disorderly
conduct and that the youths were
behaving themselves as any other
ordinary users of the library.
The counsel for the boys then
forced the librarian 10 admit that
she had had tbs young men re-
moved because they we're colored
and not disorderly.
The arrest ng officer admitted
the same thing, which caused the
Judge to continue the case for q
week, until such evidence as was
necessary to support the charges
was presented. Said Judge Dun
can:
There seems to be no evidence
Of disorderly conduct here, but it
rs a matter of constitutional pri-
leges.'
When asked by the boys law
yer if it were true that had the
defendants been white and acting
as they did, would they be forci-
bly, removed, the Librarian said
no Practically admitting that the
cause for the arrest was a matter
of color and not a violation of any
city ordinance, the librarian had
no tangible evidence to offer the
court.
TIE boys, Otis Tucker, Edward
Gaddis, Morris Murray, William
Evans and Clarence Strange, had
visited the library and when refus-
ed. use of the facilities of the in
stitution, staged a Shutdown
strike" in the reading room. When
ordered out, they refused to go;
quietly taking books from the
shelves of the lbrary, sitting
down and started reading. The Ii
brarian then called a policeman
who placed the youths under ar
rest for d~isorderly conduct. De-
tending them was S. w. Tucker,
d local attorney.
Judge James Reese Duncan pre-
sided and gave the defendants
every possible advantage under
the peculiar laws of the State of
Virginia.
Continued for a week, the case
is attracting considerable atten-
ton as it has a definite bearing
on the jim crow laws of the Old
Dominion state-and as Judge
Duncan pointed out, affected the
constitutional rights of citizens.

The problem of overcrowding,

problem in the community.

past 81 years. become more and
more concentrated into solidfy
Negro areas. In 1910, "a per cent
of the total Negro population
