Attorney Walter E. Monagan this morning appealed to Judge John A. Cornell in Superior Court to set aside a $2,o0O verdict rendered by jury last week in the case of Antonio Solomito, Administrator, against the Howard w. Connor Company, Incor- porated.

 Attorney Edward J. Mascolo, who represented Solomito, pointed out that the evidence showed that on the day of the accident it was misty and that there was snow and ice or the pavement. He said that the truck di dnot have chains and that the windshield wiper was not working

David Joseph Kaufman

Washington owes much to the
merchant princes who have made
the Nations Capital their home, and
David Joseph kaufman is one of the
number of such benefactors who
must be remembered gratefully by
the community. He was instinctively
a philanthropist. Even when his
means were small he practiced the
kindly art of sharing his resources
with those in need, however incon-
sequential their claim upon him
might be.
But it would be an error to suppose
that Mr.. kaufman was generous
merely with the wealth which the
exercise of natural genius brought
to him. He gave himself to the city
of his adoption. Long before he had
reached middle age he was a leader
in civic and social enterprises Of
many different varieties. His Office
during more than half his career was
dedicated quite as much to his avo-
cation as to his business. He lived a
balanced life, devoting his energies
with equal zeal to affairs honorably
commercial and altruistically imper-
sonal. The talents which made him
q conspicuous success in the one field

tivIties $50 1t has drawn an inference for
which adequate support cannot be found
in the evidence which has been made
public" That is precisely the inference
Mr.. Dies intended to and did convey.
Your editorial nevertheless leaves the
reader with the same inference.
The league is democratically con-
trolled, its officers democratically elected
and It's program democratically formu-
lated. The activities of the league are
not, as your editorial states, political in
character No political afflliation is a
prerequisite to membership in the league.
The league concerns itself with support
ing progressive legislation, such as the
Wagner Act and the wage and hour law,
and defending civil liberties wherever
and whenever they are attacked. In its
foreign policy it supports program de-
signed to keep the United States out
Of war.
An examination of the record of the
Dies Committee in Investigating" the
American League will convince even the
least discerning that Mr.. Dies made no
honest effort to discover and place before
the public its true program. When DR..
Harry F. Ward, national chairman of the
league, testified before the committee he
made desperate effort to place in the
record the minutes of the league execu-
tive meetings, the proceedings of the
league annual congresses, its instructions
to its branches throughout the country,
and other pertinent material which Mr..
Dies, were he really anxious to find out
what sorts of activities the league engages
IN, would have wanted to get in the first
place. During the last few minutes of
Or. wards six hours Of testimony, Mr..
Dles nnally agreed to put into the record,
In the form of an exhibit, a one-page
summary of the leagues activities. That
summary was not made public

earned for him noteworthy, If less
widely publicized, distinction in the
other. His heart was sympathetic,
his mind as energetic as 1t was con-
structively liberal. Once interested
in any cause, he threw the whole of
his strength into its advancement.
There were no reservations in his at
titude toward the demands of duty as
he visioned them.
Yet it is difficult to put into Ian
guage the feeling which Mr.. Kauf-
man created among his contempo-
raries. To say that they respected,
admired and loved him is to be guilty
of understatement. Perhaps the best
summary of their response would be
that of a neighbor who, hearing the
news of his death yesterday, ex-
claimed: THAT good man gone? It
seems Incredible"

Says Negroes Want
Just Rewards.

To the Editor Of The Star:
After the Negro had helped win the
war for democracy, naturally enough, he
expected to share in the fruits of vic
tory. But, alas, he was destined to de-
lusion. The Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Constitution of the United
States remained, for him, an unrealized
theology.
Any prudent minority, regardless of
grievances and complaints, must conform
to the ideals of the majority or run the
risk OF incurring heavier disabilities.
Patriotism is an inaienable quality of
the Negro, and loyalty is his second
nature. He revels in the language laws,
literature, culture, customs and tradi-
tions of his inherited civilization as if
he had been concerned in their origin
and development. Though a newcomer,
he is not an alien, but enters the Vine
yard on terms of equal zeal, loyalty and
devotion.
If or when the summons is issued he
will respond to the patriotic call as
whole le-heartedly as any other element Of
our American citizenry. But when the
victory is won he will not expect to be
deprived of the fruit of victory as was
the case after the last World War. The
Negro expects that his patriotic devotion
will be requited with equity and not with
iniquity. KELLY MILLER.
