The Omaha Guide

Mr.. Dewey Is concerned that the
administration of justice shall not
be polluted by racial discrimina-
ton; he is determined that all
persons, regardless of race, shall
be equal before the law. During
his career as a prosecutor, a num-
Der of incidents have occurred in
which Mr.. Dewey saved Negro de-
PENDANTS who had been unjustlx
accused of crime. Shortly after
he took office as district attorney
he made a personal appearance in
court to free a young Negro, Tim
Smith, who had been framed" on
a gun charge Mr.. Dewey not only
had the case against Tim Smith
discharged, but sent the policeman
who had framed Smith to jail.
In his campaign for the govern
orship, Mr.. Dewey also made clear
his position on the necessity of
continuing relief. SO long as there
are men and woman in need, he
declared, governments duty is to
take care of them and SO long as
he had anything to say about it
government would not shirk that
obligation. Similarly, Mr.. Dewey
emphasized the need for low cost
housing for the lower income
groups-describing it as a long
overdue activity of government
1t is understood that Mr.. Dewey
favons a system of cooperation
between the federal and state gov
ernments in the direction of hous-
ing projects as well as relief. His
attitude might well be summed
up in the words: No law is any
better than those charged with its
enforcement Indeed, Mr.. Dewey's
attitude seems to be than an
honest, straight-shooting federal
administration. interested in up
holding the constitutional doctrine
of equality, could in a super
visory capacity to insure that mis-
guided citizens in no state would
be able to wreak unjust discrim-
nation upon any group. The fed
eral government would thus serve
an all-important role without act
ually usurping any of the func-
tions of the states.
Mr.. Dewey is also understood
to favor the enactment of federal
legislation designing to end the
lynching evil. Indeed, in a letter
to the NAACP recently, Mr..
Dewey praised the association for
it's determined campaign to end
lynching, describing it as one
which would laid our government
in fulfilling its obligations to Sc
cure to citizens the right to life"
On the question of the fran
chase, Nh. Dewey has always been
emphatic. In that same letter he
described the associations fight
to end disfranchisement of the
Negro citizen as the outstanding
effort in America today to pre-
serve the traditional and sacred
principle that government derives
its powers from the consent of
those governed"
On numerous other occasions he
has reiterated his firm belief
that all citizens of the United
States, regardless of race Or creed
should be guaranteed the right of
franchise and of equal opportunity
for work In the latter connection
it was the Republican legislature
of New York, under Mr.. Dewey
as titular leader of his party in
the state, which passed four anti
discrimination measures, designed
to insure equality in the civil SER
vice, unions and other fields. Two
of the measures were vetoed by
Democratic Governor Lehman.

The kitchen is the workshop
of the home. So it is vitality
important that this room be
made as CHEEKY and comfort
able IS possible. Good lighting
accomphshes this and helps to
speed up kitchen tasks.
The kitchen should have
plenty of light everywhere. 1t
should be so arranged that
worker, regardless Of where
the work is being done is never
working in her own shadow.
The enclosed glass globe has
been standard for kitchen light
ing, but recently more APPROX

The most modern kitchens have

either from the center fixture
or from concealed lighting
around the edge of the room, or
