Enforcement OF
Laws Would Stop
Prejudice
Anti-Semitism
Hit BY Two-Day
Institute

Any discussion Of racial discrim-
nation eventually moves over and
becomes closely associated with
adequate enforcement OF current
laws on the states. Thus II was
AZ the two-day institute on de-
mocracy held Friday and Satur-
day 10 Central Methodist church
and Detroit-Leland hotel.
This was the opinion expressed
in the report OF the discussion OF
racial and religious discrimination
as submitted by Max Lerber. pro-
lessor OF political science at Will
liams college.
Laws Adequate
II Is not necessary TO add new
laws 10 the statutes, according 10
the report. The laws are adequate
II enforcement were orly applied,
and this enforcement is not likely
TO come before public opinion can
be aroused.
Mr.. Lerner stated that the insti-
tution OF more libel suits ir the
courts would have tendency 10

ever, the individual. In most in
stances. is not willing TO start q

Mr.. Lerner called attention to the
rapid increase OF anti-Semiiism
feeling among colored people. and
also OF snti-Negro feeling among
Jews. These same feelings have
cropped up among Catholics. and
others.
This racial antagonism can best
be fought. according 10 Mr.. Lerner.

school teachers.
The institute was held as the ses-
quicentennial celebration OF the
Bill Of Rights.

question OF right and wrong takes
another turn. II the Negro econom-
ic status does not change In the
next two years and persecution In
industry aud labor does not cease.
IL will take more than a race riot
10 brighten the Negroes from work
from getting bread and meat TO
feed his loved ones.
II Is strange 10 us that these So
called leaders do not try to hrd a
remedy for the evils which beset
the Negro race, and spend as much
time doing that as they do In run
ming up and down the streets try
ing TO brighten someone with the
cry OF race riot.
A Record Set
This is the first time in the his
tory OF Detroit that Negroes have
organized. and gone on record In
tangible way as being against
tyranny and oppression. II this ef-
fort is defeated by the Negroes. IL
may be the last time to correct the
Ills which upset the Negroes eco
nomical structure. We believe In
the right 10 strike. We also believe
in the right 10 work.
In Paris, France, public utility
workers went on strike and cut
on water, gass, electricity and
transportation Six million peo-
pie had 10 do without the things
they were entitled TO because few
men and women were not getting
what they thought they were en-
titled TO.

We know that IL takes less than

Beginner at 70 Does Well
In Private Practice of Law
Effort and Resolution
Moin Requisites,
Ramsey Says

The crop Of hopeful young law
yers who will hang out their shin
giles for the first time this fall
should find a measure of inspira-
ton in the story Of William H
Ramsey, who has demonstrated
at the age of 73, that a beginner
can at least make Office expenses
in the private practice of law.
In Mr.. Ramsey's opinion, ca
reer at the bar or in almost any
other field of endeavor, will be q
success or a failure in proportion
to the amount Of time, energy and
determination each individual puts
into it. In his judgment, most of
the so-called handicaps are more
imaginary than real, and he ought
to know.
Born in Washington Court House,
Ohio, in 1866, he was teaching
school at the age Of Is. When he was
81 he came to Washington to work
In the War Department. He made
the Government service his career
and stayed with it for more than
so years, being retired from the
Department of Justice after receiv-
ing two extensions of service by
executive order. But he was not
content to make his Government
job the beginning and end Of his
activity.
Admitted to the Bar in 1913.
In 1910, when he was A years
old, he enrolled at National Uni
versity Law School and took his
LII. B and LII. M. degrees in 1918,
being admitted to the District bar
In the same year.
Having thus acquired his legal
training, he was appointed as an
attorney in the Department of JUS
tice and the story of the windup Of
his career there reads like fiction.
AS is the case with most lawyers,
his paramount ambition was to win
a case in the Supreme Court. Year
after year brought nothing but dis
appointment in that respect, but
finally his chance came.
On the last day of the court ses-
sion, prior to his retirement, he was
notified to be ready to argue his

The War Department said yester-

crashed as it took off from Boiling

of Francisco Sarabia, Mexican good

ment until the report had been re-
leased, which they said would be

The Civil Aeronautics Authority,
which also investigated the crash,
has report which says there is
mo evidence of sabotage" The re-
port was made by the Safety Board,
but publicati ton was being held up, it
was said today, until the Army has
announced the result of its own
investigation.
A report on July 18 tended to
show that rags found in the car

probably caused the crash. This re-
