BERRY-WISE EAT BY
Tip6Lf
fCracHe' Or No Crackle'
EAR, SCIENCE SAYS
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor

Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The
way to tell whether you are eat
ing blueberries or huckleberries
is to listen.
If they're huckleberries. the
seeds will crackle under your
teeth. No crackle means blue
berry.
The New York state agricul-
tural experiment station explains
that the huckleberry has 10 large
seeds, each surrounded by a bony
covering like a minute peach pit
This produces the crackle.
Blueberries have many seeds
but they are not always notice
able when the berry is eaten.
There is another indicator
Huckleberry leaves are sprinkled
with resinous dots on the under
side. You won't find them on
blueberries.
Prof. C. L Slate, small fruit
specialist at the station, reports
blueberries are by far the best
eating. But the whole thing is
confusing since blueberries often
are called huckleberries and the
swamps in which they grow are
referred 10 as huckleberry
iswamps.

The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1940-05-03

For the first time Seattleites
will hear Miss Barbara Louise
Hubbard, dramatic soprano, in a
song recital at Mt. Zion Baptist
church, Friday May 10.
Miss Hubbard's voice has been
lauded highly for its expressive
ness by lovers of music through
out the state. She has been most
generous with her talent and has
sung for innumerable white civic
groups as, well as for organiza-
tons of her own race.
Recognition of the beauty of
Miss Hubbard's voice was evident
at Hinson Memorial Baptist church
in Portland, Ore, when for six
consecutive weeks she was featur-
ed soloist for that large church
which numbers it's congregation
well over 1000.
1t will be the first time in many
seasons that Seattle will have an
opportunity to hear and see her
very own Mrs. Cecel Berry in dra-
matte recital sharing honors with
Miss Hubbard.

Apostrophe To

BY e. ]. Robinson

State Supreme Court Justice
James M. Garaghty, you have ap-
preached the bar of justice in the
Supreme Court of the Universe
with clean hands. Rest now in thy
glory. Thy work is finished. Be-
yond the reach of human frailty.
thou shalt witness from heights
of divine peace, the final results
of thy acts. Thou hast been spared
from long suffering, because thou
hast never harmed a soul.
Thou hast always borne the in
firmaties of thy friends. Thou hast
seen the problems of the common
man towering above him as though
the fate of the world rested in
his hands.
The failure of present day politi-
clans to remember their common
friends, once they We're elevated to
office, was ever a burden on thy
mind.
AS TRULY AS GOD is NO
RESPECTOR OF SONS,
THOU KNEW NO RACE, NO
COLOR, NO CREED IN THY
HALL OF JUSTICE.
The heart of every Negro in
the state of Washington is today
bowed down in sorrow and lies
there in the tomb with you.
when all is done say not thy day
Is DER,
And that through night I seek a
DINNER shore,
Say rather that my morn has just
begun

National Negro Congress Votes To Join
Non-P Partisan Third Party Movement

Washington, April 28-The Ma
tional Negro Congress, against the
advice of President A. Philip Ran
dolph, voted to poin forces with
John L. Lewis, head of laborer's
non-partisan league. Randolph, the
pres. of the B. S. C. p, who has
been president of the National Ne
gro Congress since its organiza-
ton three years ago, refused to
stand for reelection, and Max Ye-
ragn, vice-president, was elected to
succeed him.
Randolph warned the National
Negro Congress against amalga-
mating with any political organi-
cation. He said the Congress had
accepted contributions from the
Communist party and the C. I. o.
He said acceptance of these con-
tributions displayed a weakened
condition and that the Congress
was able and should finance itself,
because Where you get your mo-
ney you get your ideas of control.
But the sage and seer, who had
accomplished the impossible in or
ganizing the B. S. c. p, saw the
light he held for struggling Ne
groes flicker as the Congress vot-
ed the tie-up he so much opposed.
A resolution was passed criticiz-
ing the administrations foreign
policy and social welfare, accusing
President Roosevelt of abandoning
the welfare of the people and mo-
bilizing Americas resources of
war.
Edgar A. Brown of Washington
president of the United Govern
ment Workers, appealed for the
support of President Roosevelt and
was greeted with boos and Kisses.

Four HOrsemen OF Red Facism
TO Purge Unions OF Negroes
BY Hutchen r. Hutchins

Unusual things happened this
week both within Boeing and with
out. The aeronautical union No.
751 conspired with the Boeing COM
pany for lilly white contract. On
the outside network of reaction
airy intrigue organized itself to
defeat the anti-Negro policies of
the Boeing plant union. Led by
Comrade Mickey QUINN, Com
rades Hollis Matheney, Harry
Webbing and Berryhill, known
among the Seattle Scalers as 1.-THE
Four Horsemen of Red Fascism"
rushed over to Tacoma and in the
absence of Huschen r. Hutchins
had all Negroes expelled from
the Tacoma Ship Painters Local
No. 962.
The cause of the expulsion was
the articles appearing in the
Northwest Enterprise exposing the
Boeing union conspiracy to bar
Negroes. The -Four Horsemen'
branded this as ''reactionary pro-
paganda against professional un-
ionism." They told Tacoma men
that if they did not purge the unior
of Negroes they would not help
them in certain jurisdictional dis
putes or permit them to work in
Seattle. These ringmasters used
the whip to deprive men of their
right to work in order to force
them to expel Negroes from their
union.
Resentment Mounts
Resentment grew to high pitch
both in Seattle and Tacoma Sea-
lers union when members gradual
ly began to learn that they had
been victimized by this new type
of public enemies, generally known
as RED Fascists." Although ter
rorized by this ruthless click, men,
bers of the Seattle Scalers union
quietly sent word to Negro friends
that they were not a part of the
outrage. Also, that they were plan
ming to Gust the "rat"-icals who
were causing so much strife in the
name of professional unionism."

Promise
And Performance
By Emmett j. Scott

Washington, D. C.-Probably no
part of the recently released Re-
port of the Glenn Frank Program
Committee is more challenging
than the comparisons of New Deal
promises and prosecutions when
contrasted with its performances
over the seven-year period, 1888
1910.
The Committee points out that
the New Deal leadership took over
the Government with an air of
certainty regarding what our pro-
blems were and what to do about
them which, at the moment, raised
the hopes and expectations of the
people.
The New Deal leadership said we
have been drifting. It would give
us planned direction.
We were in the grip of depres-
sion. 1t would give us planned re-
covery.
We were unstable. 1t would give
us planned stability.
We were haunted by widespread
unemployment. 1t would give us
a planned unemployment.
The living standards of part of
our population were indefensibly
low. 1t would give us planned
abundance.
Stake OF The Negro
In all of these the Negro has
stake, an interest of vital con-
Germ for livelihood, and for some
of the advantages which prosper
ity is expected to bestow upon all
the people of the republic.
This, then, is the seven year re-
cord of experimentation and flu
tility. This, then, is the record
upon ghich the New Deal stands
while it fights for and looks for
ward to another nease Of political
and governmental life.
Sober America will not again be
beguiled 1t is done with continu-
ing deficits, public borrowings, and
the spectre of eventful initiation.

Natchez Fire One
OF Worst Disasters
In U. S. History
NATCHEz, Miss.

NATCHEZ, MISS (CNA) -
Tragedy and horror stalked the
Negro community as more than
243 young people were suffocated
or burned to death when flames,
racing through decorations of
dried Spanish moss, trapped them
in a one-exit, fire trap dance hall,
the Rhythm Club. 1t was the worst
fire disaster in the history of the
country.
With the known dead totalling
243, and several scores of others
dying in hospitals, it was estimat-
ed that few among Natchez' Ne
gro families were unaffected. This
city has a population of about 49,
600 Of which approximately go
per cent is Negro.
Hundreds of dancers, most of
them in their teens, were in the
hall when the fire started. There
were no rear or side doors to the
one story shack, sheathed in cor
rugated iron.
Local authorities in an attempt
to cover up their responsibility for
the tragedy by jim-crow ordnan-
ces barring decent halls to Ne
groes and failure to inspect the
hall for fire risks, have arrested
five Negroes on charge of sus-
picion of setting fire to the hall.
Ten of the IL members of the
famous Walter Barnes Orchestra
of Chicago, persisted in the fire.
Barnes was one of the victims. His
orchestra had set out from Chica-
go early this winter for its an
nual tour of the South, and was
enroute back home.
julius Hawkins, janitor of the
Natchez Democrat, and one of the
few who escaped unscathed, said:

and it just spread over everything.
/ turned and made a run for it,
and got out with only a scratched
arm.
Inside, everyone was trying to
get out and crushed one another as
the fire was burning them. All
were crying and yelling"
v. H. Jeffries, a photographer,
who reached the scene a short
time after the disaster, said the
walls and tin roof of the building
remained in place but that the in
terror was wrecked.
Great quantities of dry moss had
been hung on the wall for decora-
