NOT YET

Since Italy has joined forces
with the murderous legions of
Hitler, the oft-asked question is
heard throughout our town and
county, "How long will it be be-
fore the United States takes sides
with the Allies with a declara-
ton of war;"
It is our opinion that the Unit
ed States is doing what she cam
and preparing to do what she can
for the Allies without actually
sending men to the battlefronts
of Europe. It is true that the war
being fought by Great Britain
and France against the hordes of
Hitler and Mussolini is our war
too, but the United States is un-
prepared for war. Until we are
prepared, our only course of ac-
ton is to speed up production Of
ornaments and supplies of war
and get there the ''fustest with
the mostest' if we are to be OF
material assistance to the democ-
racies of Europe. Later when we
are fully prepared for war, the
United States of America, with
President Roosevelt at the helm,
will decide "a course of action
leading, we hope, to ultimate VIC
tory over the mad dogs of Europe.

(ANP)-The old folks down here

the July new moon.
Always preceding the appear

moon is not the Carolina moon

moon. Blood kin will fight and
kill before; the July new moon
Blood kin did fight in rs.
July 4 fatalities are not the re-
suit of the holiday spirit, the
coming July new moon makes the
blood hot and people kill. With
the coming Of July 5 the old folks
sagely nod their heads as report
after report reaches them Of what
the rest of the world calls Fourth
Of July fatalities.
At Bishopville as the result Of
a near riot at a colored ball game
one man was killed, eight mer
and women are in jail, and two
policemen who attempted to quel
the riot were injured. The deac
man was Johnny Lee Truesdale
of Kershaw, stabbed to death by
a colored woman, Mary Wright
who escaped. The two white po-
lice officers who attempted t.

At Union, James Glenn shot
and killed a white man, J. HI.

Negroes Shut
Out on New
Deluxe Train

WASHINGTON, July 1s-(AN
P)-With the Inauguration two
weeks ago of the new ''Down
East train over the Pennsylvania
New Haven, known as the east
Wind, colored employees of the
dining car service find themselves
once again shut out since whites
only are used on the grille car
attached to this new train.
Using white cooks and wait
resses on this train is no inno-
walton since the same practice is
followed through the New Eng
land states where the New Haven
uses its grille cars. But the fact
that the East Wind replaces the
Colonial Express which for %
years, according to Rienzi B. Lee
mus, has given employment to
colored cooks and walters, makes
is more difficult for Negroes in the
railroad service.
1t is reported that colored To-
cal a. +. of 4; OFFICIALS in New
York and in Boston fought bit
terly against retention of the
white employees on the grille car,
the case going to the national adj
justment board.

Washington Census Reveals
Negro Population 179, 794

numbers Of Negroes had come in
to Washington not only from the
South, but from New England,
as pointed out by DR.. Robert
Weaver of the Housing authority,
stating that New England was be-
ing drained Of its Negro popula-
ton due to the<lack Of opportuni-
ties in that section for Negro
workers trained in professional
and Senni-profeSsional fields.
Add to this group, the large
number of Negroes both trained
and unframed who come to- Wash
ington seeking opportunities de-
MED them in the South and still
denied them in Washington, and
the figures from the university
survey seem to be nearer the
fact than the percentages would
show.
Washington's present popula-
ion of 663, 1853 shows the greatest
increase of any city in the coun-
try, due largely to the efforts of
the New Deal in concentrating
governmental activities in a CEN
tralized bureau or series Of bu-
reauS.
Nothing definite on the Negro
future will be available for some
time yet, it is reported by the
bureau of census, only the profile
matte figure arrived at by using
the last percentage as a base.

NEW ORLEANS
PROJECT HIRES
ALL Whites

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 18-
CAMP Intensity Of the fight to
have the New Orleans Housing
authority appoint Negro managers
for the Magnolia Housing project
which is scheduled to open in
90 days or less, has grown to few
er heat as the Committee Of 100
took backtrack this week to
comply with the authority's de-
mands.
Newspapers and organizations
laid down arms this week to al
low the authority draw rest
from several weeks of lam
basting and learned that under
their noses the authority ap-
pointed its tenant selection staff
pending further negotiations with
a handpicked committee.
The purpose of the fight has
chameleoned from one Of getting
a Negro personnel management to
one Of getting individual jobs for
the principal members of the
committee. .-.- IL.
1t is still a matter of question
whether or not the authority will
place Negroes as managers in the
project. Tenants who were re-
moved from the area occupied by
the buildings have been notified
to place applications for occu-
pancy. The selection staff is all
white and the office of selection is
in the administration building OF
the project.
Negroes still await a meeting
with the authority to discuss the
hiring of Negro managerial per-
sonnet. This committee was cho-
sen from a group Of % names
submitted to the authority. Only
five will be selected to meet with
the authority, by the authority.
A proposed boycott of the pro-
ject has been limited if the COM
mittee's demands are not met in
full. Last week Maceo Smith
federal attache of the USHA was
in the city to mediate with the
local authority and members Of
the local committee.

WASHINGTON, July 18-(AN
P)-Preliminary figures on the
Census in Washington show that
the town has grown from 1876 =
800 population in 1880 to that of
big city Of 663, 153 in 1910. And
of that number, unofficial figures
indicate that Negroes have also
increased the population of the
city by some 20 per cent, basing
the deductions on the percentages
Of Negroes in the city under the
1880 census.
At that time, the percentage Of
Negroes Of the total population
represented 27,1 or a total Of
132,068 in number.
Using this same percentage on
the present count, that would
mean that there are 1924 Ne
groes residing in the capital city
at this time although here is
no definite figure on this at pres
ent.
Conflicting figures on this are
coming to light, as it has been
revealed that a survey made by
the graduate school Of George
Washington university showed an
influx of some $4,000 Negroes into
the city since 1880. This would
raise the figure to nearer 100000
than that obtained by a percen-
tage figuring on the old basis OF
1890
Another survey indicated that
