Joint Council Hits FalIon,
st. Paul Commissioners. on
Gone With the Wind Tactics

City Hall observers say that
Golden was in the council chamber
on Tuesday morning, Jan. 30, when
the letter from the protest COM
mittee was discussed. He urged the
council to ignore the letter as did
Mayor Fallon, who was opposed to
granting the joint council a hear
ing.
At the hearing on Thursday,
Feb. l, Golden presented leaflets
bearing the Communist party's
name and attacking the picture
"Gone With the Wind" He claimed
that these had been dropped on
Rondo st. doorsteps" and had "in-
spired" the protest made by the
Joint Council. The false impIica-
ton created by joining these two
totally unrelated facts is a DELHI
crate effort to destroy the effective
ness of the Joint Councils protest
and at the same time to undermine
the morale apd support of the
Council by crying out "red!"
The Joint Labor Council denies
emphatically that its protest was
inspired or instigated by the Com
munist Party. The letter protest
ing the picture was mailed fully a
week before the Communist leaflets
appeared and nobody in the Joint
Council knew, nor had any way of
knowing that such a move was to
be made.
The Joint Council deplores the
fact that some Negroes were
taken in" by that insidious tom
myrot. But while regretting that
some Negroes were temporarily
misguided by false newspaper
propaganda, the Council knows full
we'll that there are other Negroes
who understand the aims of the
organization and yet deliberately
spread sneaky innuendoes and false
hoods of red implications about the
Joint Council and its program. The
Council condemns these reaction
airy members Of our own race who
betray our own interests by drag
ging the "red herring" across our
militant efforts toward race i'm
provement. The Joint Council is
organized to improve race relations
and to better the condition of the
Negro in Labor. If it is "Commu-
nistic" or "un-American" to try to
better ones condition-then we
might as we'll take all our Negroes
out of all our schools and forget
everything about progress" and
Improvement" - because such
words are dangerous"
The Joint Negro Labor Council
voices its protest against the evil
dent lack of consideration given by
the City Council-the Mayor in
particular-who, as a reliable in
formant connected with the City
Council tells-was decidedly OPP
posed to even hearing the Negro
delegation Two members of the
City Council, however, appeared
slightly favorable although we
cannot forget that they, too, re-
manned silent when they could
have spoken.

Will see Ramon Novarro as a guest
star in one of Catholic University's
Drama Department productions this
season. The still handsome Novarro
who once reigned high in the movie
boxoff1ce kingdom spent yesterday
discussing the matter with Father
Gilbert v. Hartke, head of the de-
partment, looked over the student
group in one rehearsal, went away
full of enthusiasm for return
trip as guest star.
Under Novarro's arm when he
climbed aboard the train was a copy
of Leo Brady's "Calidore," verse
play which drew favorable criticism
when it was presented as a sort of
workshop project during the summer
season. 1t may be the drama that
will bring Novarro back to c. u
for a later engagement.
Novarro's current occupation is
in the field of his once second avo-
cation, namely, concert singing. The
violin was his first avocation back
in the days of his movie career. He
took up singing later and is doing
quite well, what with a considerable
concert tour booked for the next
few weeks.

 The Eagles fought to a pair of overtime ties with the Providence Reds this week, going 3-3 here on wednesday, and a f1ve-all deadlock on Thursday at Providence.

 Because this was no draw.
 Armstrong won 1t easily, so easily in fact, that even the gate crashers, who helped to swell the small crowd of this great production, must have known from their perches just this side of Fresno that there could be no honest doubt of the decision.
 Henry Won Six
 I am not @ man who puts himself up as 8 ring expert, but neither do I sell pencils on the corner. In short, I am not blind and from where l sat with other members of the press in the front row, Armstrong won six rounds, lost two and got an even break in two others.

He opened a nasty cut over Garcia's right eye, smeared his face, neck and shoulders with blood, com- pletely nullifled the celebrated bolo punch, and in general made him just another boy from the Philippines, with tights on.
 This is what I saw.
 What Referee George Blake saw is something he will reveal probably only in his memoirs. How on earth he could see this as an even fight is beyond even my comprehension. Apparently he didn't make up his mind until he was over his third wheat cake at the Brown Derby, be- cause I vii lswear to you that no official announcement, either by Blake or anyone else, ever was made as to the decision.
 This correspondent, who dislikes to speak to strangers, had to tap 8 man on the shoulder to find out what the Blake verdict was. Fortunately, the man who I touched was Jerry Giesler, criminal lawyer, and chair man of the California boxing asso- citation. Giesler whispered to me, sotto voice.. that Blake had decided on @ draw.
 It was not until a few minutes later that the word of the draw got around to the crowd. No one seemed at all surprised. There vase no dem- onstration. This surprised me a bit until, sitting later in my den, I philosophical that perhaps in Cali fornia, newspapermen are the last to learn about things.
 But let us not get excited. Let us take middleweight championships in stride. After all competition is the life of trade, and that is what the country needs. Let us rally around the flag, men, and come out of the depression.
