by CCC camps during the past
year. Approximately $4,000 veter-
ans voluntarily participated in
some phase of the educational or
training programs in the camps
during the same period. This is
an indication that veterans will try
to help themselves if we offer them
the opportunity" said Mr.. Oxley.
Commissioner Studebaker has ap-
pointed ]. Russell Cook, former di-
rector of the American Legion
Americanism Commission, to su-
pervise the guidance, training, and
placement program for veterans in
CCC camps. This 'camp-to-work
program for veterans has wide sup
port" according to Mr.. Cook. "The
American Legion at its last nation
al convention adopted a resolution
which asked for a program of this
type. The Legion's Department of
Commanders and Adjutants also
voted to promote the movement"
he says. 1t is pointed out that this
program is in line with a proclama-
tion made by President Roosevelt
earlier this year. The proclama-
tion was based on a report by rep
resentatives of industry, labor and
the public which analyzed preju-
dices against the hiring of middle
aged workers. In this proclama-
tion the President said, Among
those over 40, and still actively in
the labor market, are practically

Observations By
BY Fred C. Williams

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW
The Name Rhinelander is again
in the news. Fifteen years age
Leonard Kip Rhinelander, son of
old Commodore Philip Rhinelander,
one of the old blue blood families
of New York, created a sensation
when he married Alice Jones, the
daughter of a Negro hack driver
in a Long Island City. The case
was dragged through the courts
and left many sore spots because
of the sensational newspaper &C.
count. Now, the Commodore is
dead according to reports in Long
Island, New York. Alice is still
waiting for Kip's return. We are
looking to see more news chron-
icled about this affair because of
the social relations of the two
principles.
MISSOURI COURT DECISION
FAR-REACHING - Judge Koer-
ner of the 9Th District, City of st.
Louis, Missouri, rendered a deci-
sion against the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company in favor Of
Herbert Martin for the sum of
$1,424.18. The amount due on a
policy held by Herbert Martin on
his deceased wife. The Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company con-
test the payment on the grounds
that the woman died in a hospital,
but that her policy had lapsed, but
had been reinstated during the
time she was in the hospital. The
case was holly contested by both
sides but the ruling of the judge
clarified the situation and it will
mean that the practice of certain
insurance companies to escape
payment on the above stated tech
nicalities will not be successful in
the future.
WHEN IS A RACKET NOT A
RACKET?-The Dies Committee
has been in the no for the past
year. Now Chairman Martin Dies
finds space in a weekly magazine
to make the following statement:
"It Is as bad to coddle racial
groups as it is to prosecute them"
With this statement we agree with
Chairman Dies, the Negro never
wanted to be coddled and of course
he never was. But it goes without
question that he had long been per-
secuted. But Chairman Dies was
speaking of the Jews in their pro-
gram of creating organizations to
fight Anti-semitism in America.
