Walter White
Protests Relief

NEW YORK, May 10 = Already
suffering from the prejudice and
discrimination which denies them
the right to obtain jobs in private
industry, two-thirds of the twelve
million Negro citizens living in
southern and border states will
suffer in full measures the worse
fate of being denied the right to re-
lief if the administration of this
vital unemployment measure is
taken out of the hands of the fed
eral government and returned to
the states.
This was the sentiment express
ed by Walter White, executive Sc
cretary of the National Associa-
tional for the Advancement of Col
ored People in vigorous protest
letter to Representative Edward
T. Taylor, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee. The
committee is being pressed by So
called economy-minded Congress-
men to give the states responsible
ity for administering relief on the
ground that administration costs
can be cut down.
Praising the administration
handling of relief, the letter which
was sent to the committee chair
man May II, said
There has been a minimum of
graft and scandal as well as lower
administrative costs as contrasted
with the cost of state administra-
ton" The text of the Letter fol-
lows:
"Will you permit us to take this
means of registering on behalf of
this association very vigorous OBJ
lection to the proposed plan to
vest control of relief in the sew
eral states? This is a matter of
grave concern to twelve million
American Negroes, a dispropor-
tionate number of whom are de-
pendent upon relief through their
inability to secure employment be-
cause of race prejudice which i'm
poses upon them greater handicaps
than upon members of the white
race.
More than two-thirds of these
twelve million American Negroes
live south of the Mason and Dixon
line where discrimination is widely
practiced. Precarious as is the
present situation of Negroes de-
pendent upon relief who live in the
South, their plight, in the opinion
of this association, would be infin-
itely worse were control of relief
left entirely to the state.
"Inasmuch as grants-in-aid for
relief must continue to be made
to the states by the federal gov
eminent, it is only proper that
those who bear the chief financial
burden of relief should have a de-
finite voice in the distribution of
those funds.
at is the belief of this Associa-
ton that an admirable record has
been made by the federal govern
ment in the face of almost insup-
cradle difficulties. There has been
a minimum of graft and scandal
as well as lower administrative
costs as contrasted with the cost
of state administration. No prob
lem of this magnitude can be han
died unless there is centralized dir
ection and control, particularly as
it affects minority groups like the
Negro"

By HEX

Our dailies carried a notice of
the death of Charles H. Mckinney
in the Maynard hospital at Seattle
Monday morning. The article
credited Mr.. Mckinney with open
ing the first beauty shop in Hell
ena. The article said he opened
his beauty shop in the year 1898.
Let's straighten the record. The
writer of this article came to Hell
ena on the 5th day of May, 1889,
and at that time found woman
in the business in the Brown block
on Warren street. We bought a
barber shop located in the Mer-
chants hotel at the corner of
Broadwa yand Warren street. The
hotel changed hands, was remod-
eled by Neil Vawter, and Clarke
and Brown opened in the new no.
tel, in 1891 new barber shop and
Ladies Hairdressing Parlor. The
panic of '93 saw the end of the
hotel, also the shop. Brown went
east and Simmons, one of our bar
bers, and Clarke opened barber
shop in the old Opera house on
Jackson street. Later we moved
to the Dutriueille shop at the cor
ner of Jackson and Grand street.
We bought Simmons interest and
he invested the money in the first
bicycle school in this city. The
writer then secured three rooms
on the second floor, over his shop,
in the Thompson block, which was
managed by Mrs. Emma Burnett.
The business was continued at that
point until the Thompson block
was RACED to be replaced by the
Placer hotel. We owned the Sec
ond beauty parlor in the city, and
we preceded Mr.. Mckinney in the
business, at least, eight years.
Mrs. A. L. Lealtad underwent a
major operation last week from
which she is improving rapidly.
Nathaniel Ford has been suffer-
ing from an attack of sciatica, ne
cessitating confinement at his
home for more than a week.
Edward Johnson has recovered
from his illness and is able to re-
sumo his job at the Independents
office.
Mrs. Jesse Richards was COM
mitted to Warm Springs, the hos
pital for the insane, this week. She
arrived at Three Forks by freight
train Sunday and insisted she was
in Sioux City, Iowa, her home.
Bob Williams dropped into Hell
ena last week with a tale of Afri-
can adventures that would make
your hair stand endwise. The halo
he painted around his own head
soon lost it's brilliancy following
an investigation of his life by Bill
ings authorities. 1t was said by
the F. B. I. office Williams had
been arrested under the follow
ing names: Sisku Ikuchi, Bob
Phillips, R. E. Phillips, Robert Cor
tez. He has resided in San Quen-
tin, Folsom and in Colorado pri-
sons, according to J. Edgar Hoo
ver's records. Twenty-Five ar
rests were reported, with convic-
tons, beginning in 1918.

This discovery in itself was of
little use. The wild potatoes were
useless commercially. 1t was neces-
sary to undertake a long breeding
program to incorporate their dis
ease-resisting qualities in potatoes
suitable for agriculture without, at
the same time, reducing the size
or nutritive value of the latter.
The new varieties which have
been built up at Cambridge, Prof.
Salaman said, accomplish this end,
at least to some extent. They are
not yet ready, however, to be in
troduced into agriculture. At pres
ent the blight, which used to bring
ruin to the whole countryside, can
be successfully controlled by spray

About three-quarters of a mile
farther his motor stopped Such

Italian Frontier Open
But Troffic SIumps
BY the Assoc,ated Press,

by tHe ASSOCjAC8Q SIcSS.
TURIN, Aug. 28.-Traffic across
the French Italian frontier has
ceased almost entirely on most
roads.
Authorities denied, however, that
the frontier had been "diplomati-
cally closed" Some trains still are
running.
The virtual standstill is due to
the fact that tourist traffic has
disappeared and various rigid meas
ures taken in the frontier region.
Authorities said Italy was not
preventing foreigners from leaving
the country. Italians liable for
military service may not cross the
frontier without special authorize
ton. o.
