Howard University Has Jewish
Quota

Washington, Oct. 20 (ANP)-
A routine announcements here this
week revealed that Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, who has been
cancelling passports held by vari-
Gus United States citizens living
abroad, had revoked the passports
of 800 American born Jewish
medical students who are now
studying in Scotland. These jew
ish boys were studying in Scot
land for the reason that the LIST
class medical schools in the United
States have a ban on Jews SINH
lar to that which they have es-
tablished on Negroes some years
ago.
Only a very small number of
Jews are admitted to American
medical schools. They must have
exceptionally brilliant school rec
ords and satisfactory backgrounds.
The same sort of exclusion is di-
rected at Negro students. In re-
cent years there have rarely been
more than two or three Negro med
ical students in all of the first
class northern medical school or
colleges because of this refusal to
admit them. There are practically
no first class white medical col
leges or schools in the South. Ma
ny of the medical schools in that
section require only two or three
year courses for the Nj. d. degree.
The Jews, however, have used
a different technique to that which
Negro students adopted. Negroes

prejudice. The Jew did not let

Now it was only yesterday that Mr..

no exception. They had added to their

there, gaily colored ribbons, pieces of
glass and even shreds of newspaper,

It, and l don't think Gyp had either.
Anyhow II wasn't very many minutes
before they were all down in the

"The introduction of steel in

the bulls of warships decreased the
weight of such vessels 20 per
cent.
SIN the days before watches
were worn on the wrist, the steer
sman used to time his tricks at
the wheel with a sandglass. Due
to the difficulty of steering the
old windjammers, a trick was on
w half an hour, and each time
the glass was turned a bell would
be struck to indicate the number
of the tricks in the watch. Hence
the custom of eight bells to a

DEMAND GRAND JURY IN
VESTIGA1I0N INTO CRANBU-
RY (N.J.) 0UTRAGES
Ringlaaders Still at Large, Wor-
kers Defense League Charges

Cranoury, N. j.. -(Special)-
A demand for a immediate grand
jury investigation into the back
ground of the recent eutrages at
Cranbuly, New Jersey, when sew
en- Negro potato pickers were as
saulted by a yigilante mob, was
seconded by a crowd of 100 resi-
dents of Cranbury and nearby
villages at a meeting sponsored
by the Workers Defense League
at the Mi. Olive Baptist Church
in Hightstownv moan here last
week (Thurs).
The demand had been formally
presented the day before when a
delegation of fifteen, representing
the Workers Defense League, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, and
prominent Negro and white citi-
zens of New Jersey, met with
Prosecutor Charles NJ. Morris of
Middlesex County in New Bruins
wick, New Jersey.
Miss Alvaine HOLSTER, state sec
rotary of the Workers Defense
League of New Jersey, charged at
the meeting that the ring leaders
of the mob were still at large and
she warned hat neither the Lea
que nor the other participants in
the effort to win justice for the
mob victims would rest until the
ring-leaders we're behind bars.
'The police cannot cover up the
guilt of those wflo planned the
attack" she declared, 9by perse-
cutting only the small fry; we can
and will force a grand jury in
vestigation and indictments of the
real leaders of the vigilante
mobs."
Tho police have already arrest
ed nine members of the mob who
have thrown themselves on the
mercy of the court. Sentence of
the mobsters is being delayed
pending a report of probation Of
ficers.
The support of Organized La
Dor in urging the prosecution of
the mobsters was promised by
Morris Riger of Trenton, New
Jersey, secretary of the Central
Jersey council of the powerful
Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations. Other speakers included
Hampton Davis, Negro secretary
of the Cranbury branch of the
Workers Defense League and o.
Their residents of Cranbury.
The meeting was held in Hight
stown after pressure on hall own
ers in C~ranbury had forced a can
collation. of the agreement be-
tween the League and the Oddfel-
Lodge there.
The attack took place during the
night of August II when a mask
ed gang of armed whites woke
seven sleeping Negro potato pick
ers by hurting stones through the
window of an isolated shack, then
forced the occupants to strip, beat
Jake Preston when he objected
to the treatment of his wife, chased
the five single men through a
of woods naked, drove
Preston and his wife to a desert
ted field while threateing main
ing, mutilation and rape painted
the couple white and left them ly-
ing on the ground-with warnings
to "head south"
A definite attempt is being
made to play down the whole af-
fair by township officials, to white
wash the gang of terrorists by
emphasizing the fact that "none
of them has been in trouble be-
