JUDGE MILLER'S SPEECH
(C0ntinued from Page One)
Attacks Distribution of Relief

Striking at the methods use
in the distribution of relief
Judge Miller said the present
system is breaking down tho
morale and self-reliance of the
people. 1t is evident that this
business of relief in w. Va. is nc
more or less than a political rae
ket without heart or sympathy
for the needy"
Judge Miller said that he
believes the state should induce
the people to "seek private EN-
ployment instead of getting on /
lief rolls. l believe in aiding tn,
needy, and when l am elected
governor l will remove polite
from relief so that only thos'
who need relief will be aided
The hand of political spoilsmel
must never at any time faint tho
money used for the relief of tn
dsresed. :. -.
1t isalso the duty of the state
to defend every legitimate bust
ness and industry in w. Va
Judge Miller continued. He vigor
ously assailed a System of go
vernment which develops con
petitive business with the none,
of the taxpayer. This system j:
not good for business. 1t is every
states prime duty to defend an
preserve and protect every buSi
ness enterprise within its hord
ers from innovations or trans
gressions threatened on ever!

Lehman Gets Bill
Banning Race Bias

ALBANY, N, Y, (CNA) - The
State Senate unanimously passed
and sent to Governor Lehman this
week an Acknowledgements bill to
prohibit racial or religious discri-
mination by labor unions. The bill
is aimed at Jim Crow practices in
AT. of L. unions, dominated by
old-time leaders.
Approval was expected from the
Governor, who last year vetoed as
too broad a measure to deprive
discriminating unions of their
rights to protection of the State
Labor relations law. The present
measure makes it an offense for
the head of a union to engage in
discriminating practices.
A resolution introduced in the
Senate also called upon that body
to protest to major league baseball
officials in the discrimination
against Negro players.
Another resolution demanded a
thorough investigation of the New
York National Guard to stamp out
alleged subversive activities, in
connection with the arrest of 10
christian Front" members in
New York City and the revelation
that several of the prisoners were
members of the National Guard.
The resolution proposed joint le-
gislative committee with a $4,000
appropriation to work with mill
tary authorities in preventing a
spread of evil influences" in the
Guard.

Negro Likely To Go Republican
Even If Roosevelt Is Candidate
By EARL BROWN
In Ne1o York Herdld-Tribune


Even If President Roosevelt
should seek a third term, the
chances are good that the Negro
voters will support the Republi-
can Presidential candidate, accord
ing to Francis e. Rivers, Assistant
District Attorney of New York
County and Chairman of the Eas-
tern Division of the Republican
National Campaign among Ne
groes in 1886.
This administration" Mr.. Riv-
ers said, has failed to pass an
Anti-Lynching Bill; to solve even
in part the unemployment prob
lem, which affects the Negro peo-
pie more than any other group; to
integrate the race into the Demo-
cratic party on an equal basis with
all others, or to integrate the Ne
gro Democratic leaders into the
policy-making forces of the par
ty."
On the other hand, he said, the
Republicans have integrated the
Negroes into their party and
Negro Republican leaders have
more voice in the national Repub-
lican affairs than Negro Demo-
Gratis in theirs.
Mr.. Rivers cited as examples of
the integral part the Negro leaders
play in the Republican party the
role of the Negro delegates from
the South at the Republican Ma
tional Convention; the activities
of the Negro churches in both state
and national Republican cam
paigns, and the support of the par
ty by the Improved Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks of the
World, of which J. Finley Wilson
is the Grand Exalted Ruler.
after all is said and DONE" he
said, "the main reason why the
Negro vote may be found in the
Republican fold next year is that,
except in one or two states, the
Negro voters have never really
supported the Democratic party,
but have supported President
Roosevelt in spite of the party"
Mr.. Rivers said there was con-

in another engagement, preceding
this, the statement added.
Washington-(CNA) - Admiral
William ID. Leahy, Governor of
Puerto Rico, told President Roose-
welt this week that huge national
defense preparations at the island
colony will be endangered unless
Congress adopts measures to re-
lieve the economic ills of the Puer-
to Rican people.
At a luncheon meeting with the
President, Admiral Leahy inform
ed him that Puerto Rico, which
is being transformed into a "Gi-
bralter" of the Caribbean, must
get liberal Federal aid for its I'M
employed, who number 100000 out
of a total population of 1000, 900.
Toledo, Ohio A 20-year-old
dream of the late Albertus Brown,
noted civic leader, came of age on
Sunday, January Ia, 1910, when
the new Frederick Douglass Com
munity Center auditorium was de-
Dictated here with impressive ce-
remonies.
Grove Patterson, Editor of the
Toledo Blade, devoted a recent

Fund Nears Half
Way Mark, Bruce

WASHINGTON, D. C. The
campaign to raise $4,000 for the
Marian Anderson Mural has pass
ed the 81 ZOO mark, Edward Bruce,
chairman of the committee and
Chief of the Section of Fine Arts
of the Federal Works Agency, an
nounced this week. The fund is to
be used for the execution and in
stallation in the new Interior De-
partment Building of mural de-
picting Miss Anderson's Easter
Day Concert here last Spring.
1--WE are now nearing the half
way mark" Mr.. Bruce said. 1.-THE
committee is hoping to complete
the fund by Spring and is urging
that contributions be sent in in or
der that we may go forward with
our project as rapidly as possible.
Miss Anderson's great triumph de-
serves to be memorialiZed as a
symbol of the basic democratic
sentiment of this country and as
an inspiration for the youth of the
land"
When the complete fund is rails
ed, the artist to execute the mural
will be chosen by a national anon
ymous competition open to all
American artists and conducted by

Postman Arrested
For Theft of Mail

William Moore, letter carrier
working out of the Broadway pos
tai station, was arrested by postal
authorities last Friday. Moore ad-
mitted his depredations. it is said,
and led the inspectors to his apart
ment where they recovered much
of the loot-letters and parcel post
packages. The loot consisted of
jewelry, silverware and other val
uables valued at nearly $500.
It is thought the loss of mail in
the Capitol Hill district led to the
arrest. The trail led to Moore who,
when arrested, had much unopened
mail on his person and in his room.
He was taken before u. S. Com
missioner, where his bond was fix
ed at $4,000, to. await the action
of the Grand Jury.
On Thursday morning the Grand
Jury returned an indictment
against Moore and he will be
brought before Judge Black on
on Saturday morning for sentence.
Moore lived with his parents I'M
til one year ago, when he took
apartments in the Rainier, 18th
and Main SITS. His arrest came as
a surprise to his many friends,
among whom he was very popular.

Three Charged
With Attack

Mr.. J. Edmundson and his wife
Ada, reported to police that they
were walking along Jackson street
last Saturday night, when three
Negroes forced them into hotel
315 Maynard.
While there, the wife, Ada, was
assaulted three times, finally es-
Gaping after being held for four
hours. Edmundson claims the
men held him while his wife was
attacked.
Fred w. Anderson, 80, was ar
rested at the hotel where the at
tack was committed. He was iden-
titled by the wife as one of the
men who assaulted her.
Anderson claims he was not pre-
sent when the visitors entered his
room, but found them there when
he came home. He ordered them
out and went to bed. When he
awoke, they were gone.
Jas. Beck, arrested in an apart
ment house, 9th and Spruce SITS,
as suspect in the attacking last
Saturday of young Alaskan wife,
in the U. S. Hotel, was released
Tuesday.
Beck proved to the satisfaction
of the police that he had not nor
could not have been one of the at
tackers. Capt. Scrafford question
ed Beck thoroughly as to his
whereabouts. He ordered his re-
lease fully convinced of Beck's in
nocence.
Other suspects are held for
questioning. The reporter for the
Northwest Enterprise was ordered
to return to the scene for further
details: 1t was reported that the
couple had made visits to the hotel
on several occasions; that the hus-
band himself attended the wife in
these visits. There was in all pro-
liability an assault.
lowing to the conflicting re-
ports, all information coming to
the Northwest Enterprise will be
turned over to the Investigators Sc
that the truth may be known and
the guilty parties be made to pay
the penalty. The report of the in
vestigators will be made known

Public Housing
And The Negro

WASHINGTON, D. C. = Parti-
cipation of the Negro in the Gov
ernment's public housing program
is recounted in an SPACE leaflet
recently. issued by the United
States Housing Authority. The
leaflet, entitled, Public Housing
and the Negro, sets forth the ur-
gent need for better housing of
Negroes and summarizes the work
of the USHA in meeting this need.
Not only is the program provid-
ing new homes for thousands of
low-income families who hereto
fore have been unable to obtain
decent, safe and sanitary dwell
ings, but also it is creating job OPP
portunities in construction work
and in white collar positions need
ed in the development and man.
agement of the projects, the leaf
let asserts.
The social and economic gains
which the public housing program
has brought to low-income fami-
Lies are indicated. The leaflet fur
Their sets forth the Importance of
the program to the Negro as ten
ant, worker and citizen.
'The public housing program
has meant much more to the Ne
gro than a means for obtaining a
decent, safe and sanitary home"
the bulletin asserts. "It has re-
cognized him as an integral part
of the American people. 1t has in
cluded him in the development of
its policies. 1t has opened the door
of employment to the Negro in a
variety of occupations - profess
sional, skilled and clerical. 1t has
afforded him an opportunity to
share in the Nations better hous-
ing program"
Continuing, it declares: 1.-THE
availability of additional funds
will make it possible for the pub
lie housing program to expand in
urban centers and to be extended
to the rural areas where the ma
jority of Negroes still live
Such expansion of the program
would make possible the contin-
ued march of thousands of Negro
families out of dreary slums into
decent homes and would initiate
the movement of other thousands
out of unsightly farm shacks into
new houses designed to meet the
housing needs of rural families"
