However, the Reds remained

Held to four hits and a single

High Humidity Blamed
For Unpleasant Weathe,

It wasn't the heat, it was the hui
nudity.
That is the reason why the last
two days have been particularly I'M
pleasant, according to Paul Hess,
local weather man.
The temperature has not been un-
usually high for this time of year,
but the high percentage of humidity
in the atmosphere has made the
heat oppressive.
During the early morning of yes
terday and Thursday, the percent
age of humidity reached the high
eighties-far above the normal.
Hess said it is usual for the hui
Nudity percentage to drop consid-
erably near the middle of the day
and to rise again at night.

FIGHTERS TO GET
WITHHELD CUTS
Match Between Armstrong
And Jenkins May Be Held
In Garden Sept. ~

NEW YORK, July 19.-R-The
State Athletic commission cleared
the way today for Henry Arm
strong and Lew jenkins to get
paid for their fight Wednesday
night, and promoter Mike Jacobs
Immediately announced plans for
a return match between the two in
Madison Square Garden Septem-
Der 81.
The commission, which had held
up the fighters purses without Civ
ing any reason yesterday, cleared
up the mystery" and then
soothed it's ruffled dignity by pin
ming a 60-day suspension on Eddie
Mead, Armstrong; manager, for
an unimportant row over hand
bandages a few minutes before
Wednesdays bout started.
The commissioners explained
that they held the purses only be-
cause they wanted welterweight
boss Armstrong and lightweight
champion jenkins to post forfeits
of So, 900 and 81, 500 respectively to
make the next defenses of their IL
ties in this state. Promoter Jacobs
Immediately returned to his office
and mailed the forfeit money to
the fstic fathers. The commission
ers, after weighty thought, decided
Armstrong must fight for his 147-
pound crown ION or about Octo-
Der 26 and jenkins must put his
lightweight title up around Novem-
Der II.
Both fighters agreed to a re-play
of Wednesdays fight in which Arm
strong stopped the Texas thin man
in a six-round thriller. Conditions
would be the same-12 rounds, non
title, with both coming in under 40
pounds. Before the return, how
ever, each probably will have one
or more tune-ups. jenkins may
meet Bob Montgomery, highly
touted negro youngster, in Phila-
delphia within 30 days, and Arm
strong may take on Mike Kaplan
in Boston or Fritzie Zivic, t e
Pittsburgher. Another suggested
opponent for jenkins was Dave
Castilloux, the Canadian champion.
and Mean said he might put Arm
strong in against Red Cochraue in
Newark.
The commission also got itself

ayers license to Fred Browning of
Dallas, thereby making him re-
sponsible for all contractua1 obi
cations for the lightweight ruler.
Up to now, there has been no
manager of record" for Jenkins
Used with the commission, al.
though Hymie Caplin has been
handling him here. Browning ez.
planned that Caplin is still the CO.
manager.
The suspension OF Mead doesn't
figure to work any particular hard
ship on the large manager just
now, because his fighter probably
won't show in New York within go
days anyway. The commission
chairman, John ]. Phelan, said he
cracked down on Mead because the
maager had refused to let his
fighter go into the ring Wednesday
if the comission insisted on re.
moving he bandages already on
Henry's hands. Mead explained he
and Caplin had a private agree
ment concerning the amount OF
bandages to be used, and the COM
mission held this amount was in
excess of it's rules. l

MOBILIZE NEGROES BEST
MINDS
by A. Philip Randolph

Because of the tragic and dread
full hour of crisis through which the
world and America are passing, Ne
groes, along with all minority groups
are troubled and ~bewildered. In very
truth, they are distressingly unwilling
of their way.
Myriad, complex, difficult and
dangerous problems confront and
challenge them.
What is to be done? is the ques-
ton on millions cf tongues. What IS
to be done about the relationships of
the Negro people, in Africa, the West
Indies and these United States, to the
present war? Does it mean anything
to them whether the Battle of Britain
is won or lost by England or Germany,
and if SO, what? What effect would
the sweep of totalitarian relationships
over Europe have upon the future for
tunes of the black men in the world
Assuming hat the world, Europe
and America, will not be the same
when peace comes? What of Negro
labor, if totalitarian barter supplants
the bourgeo is-democratic gold stand
ard as the worlds system of exchange?
Can the modern trade union movement
survive under a barter economy?
What will be the effect upon the Ne
gro, the first fired and the last hired,
in competition with European slave-la-.
Dor standards?
But today, here in u own land,
what is to be done by the Negro on the
movement of national defense? Should
Negroes seek to be integrated into ev-
cry phase of this plan, or not? Should
Negroes oppose universal, compulsory
military training? If so, why and how?
IF not, what should be done about it?
What is to be done about organic
ed labor? Should Negroes support, or
oppose. the American Federation OF
Labyr or the Congress of Industrial
Organization, or support, or oppose
both?
Should Negroes support or OPP
pose, legislation to outlaw trade unions
that ban Negro membership?

What have the Communists dore
for, or against, the Negro, and why?
Is Fascism, Communism and MAJ
ism a promise, or a menace, to the Ne
gro people and the darker races?
Are there any movements FIR
Negro liberation that should be Who'll
ly under Negro leadership, control and
financial support. If so, why, and if
not, why not?
What do the tendencies Of the
Capitalization and decentralization of
federal government control over edu-
cation, relief and Political problems
mean to Black America? =?
How will the European refugee
affect the Negro? What, if anything,
should be done about it?
What of the rise of anti-Semitism
among the Negro people? What is its
cause and cure?
These are but a few of the ques-
tions that clamor for an answer from
the Negro people. What are the ans
wers? Who knows?
These questions suggest problems
that cannot be settled by snap judge
ment. The answers a only come as
a result of calm, dispassionate inquiry
and discussion, and the discussion must
be conducted by the best minds in the
race. They are questions of theory
and practice. Without a broad, clear,
theoretical understanding of modern
social forces, world revolutionary NOV
ements, right, center and left, capital
ist, Fascist, Nazist, Socialist, trade I'M
ion and Communist, correct action is
impossible.
But the answers must be given.
They will not wait. Upon these answ-
ers, the fate of Negro America de-
ponds. When, and how, should the Ne
gro people approach them?
l suggest a small conference of the
best minds of the Negro people to face
these issues and present their conclus-
ions and findings. This should not be
a delegate conference, but just a confer
ence Of persons who can think theoret-
ically about the aforementioned ques-
tions, upon a basis of knowledge, ex-
perience and devotion to the well-being
of the Afro-Americans.
Negroes today need guidance.
They need intelligent direction. Their
leadership need a broad, universal
Knowledge and urjqueBtioned honesty
and courage.
They need more light and less
heat, more of the luminary and less of
the thermal rays. Albeit, the problems
We must gapple with are not simple.
The main and basic troubles of the
Negro today arise on account of the
lack of understanding as to- what is to
be done, what to support and what to
Oppose. The leadership lacks a solid
grounding in the theoretical founda-
tions of the movements that are shap-
ing human action and determining HUI
mar institutions. The times demand
more explanation than exhortation,
mor discussion than emotional explO-
sion.

Peter, wheeling the cart beside her.
Every nice, Miss Brodey. Irish bacon
and scrambled eggs
How lovely! How perfectly
love-lyw
Miss Brodey leaned slightly toward
plumpness Her voice, charming over
the telephone, was little high, little
loud for ordinary conversation. but
Peter didn't notice that. He was
happy that Joe, of the greasy face,
hadn't beaten him to it this morning.
He busted himself with arranging the
dishes for Miss Brodey.
IT WAS, of course. strictly against the
rules for an employee to touch guests
food. Strictly But three or four hun
dred of them ate no other kind. Miss
Brodey. of all people. certainly touched
no other kind.
There never was a morning when
some guest on the twelfth floor didn't
rush off, leaving his breakfast un-
touched. If need be - and this was
even more strictly against the rules -
one of Miss Brodey's two slaves would
stall until guest had no time for his
breakfast Then the prize, won at such
a daring risk, would be wheeled sur
reptltiously to l2B.
Lately, Miss Brodey had felt these
breakfasts weren't doing her hips any
good. but they were irresistible.

"Aw," said Peter, deprecatingly
"It's nothing. Miss Brodey"
He poured coffee into the creamed
cup. He sat down and watched her
pitch in.
She was SO lovely. SO soft and
rounded and graceful. 1t was incredi-
Bile there should be such a creature. He
sat across from her, in his blue uni
form with the silver buttons, and
devoured her hungrily with his eyes,
while she devoured Mr. Seman's Irish
bacon and scrambled eggs. He could
allow himself four minutes, possibly
five, before hurrylng back to the
pantry.
-Four minutes, possibly five, in which
he could sit across from her and dream.
