Charlotte, N. C. Jan 30 amp
Not in recent years have local resi-
dents of both races been stirred as
they were last week as result of
the sensational address delivered
before the Rotary Club by Judge
Frank K. Sims, Jr., city recorder.
Speaking on "The Negro Prob
lem," a subject that long has chal-
lenged the %oratorical powers of col
ored leaders, point was given last
weeks discourse because the speak
er was white and because he "hew-
ed to the line, regardless of where
the quips fell. Describing the
treatment of Negro prisoners by
police, Judge Sims said.
"The only protection the Negro
has, is to serve as a stool pigeon
for the officers. While some i'm
provements has been noted in the
past lew months, prior to that time
the first thing they (the police) did
when they arrested a Negro was to
hit him with a black jack, with
their fists, or kick him.
Judge Sims said that crime am
ong colored people was due largely
to the low wages paid them. NE
groes paid decent wages are rarely
in court for stealing" he said. He
emphasized the fact that majority
of the crime in Charlotte was COM
mitted by white people although
Negroes made up about 90 percent
of the population. He said that
thousands mor white men appear
ed before him than Negroes, and
hundreds more white women than

New York, Jan. 30-A vigorous
protest against an unsupported
statement in a so-called scientific
article that the black race is guilty
of presumably greater promiscu-
ity" and that therefore Negroes are
more susceptible" to %gonorrhea,
was sent this week to the New York
tuberculosis and Health Associat--

the NAACP. as "vicious SANDER a

the January bulletin of the Social
Hygiene Committee of the health
association and was under the sign

ed "Gonnorrhea in the Female"
and the sentence about Negroes
reads:
Some races are apparently more
susceptible, as for instance the Ne
groes, but the reason for this may
largely be due to the presumably
greater promiscuity of the black
race"

Barringer is prepared to prove that
Negroes are more promiscuous than
other races and challenged sharply

makes it cost a couple about $4,000

Judge Sims struck at colored
physicians when he said: "There
are some colored doctors in Char

Il have been actively associated

DUDLEY, MATTHEWS
TRAcK-DOWN Thief
Youth Does $50 Worth of Damage
for $3.50

When the Omaha Guide Print
Shop was opened Thursday morn
ing, it was discovered that someone
had broken through one of the back
windows and removed los pounds
of type metal and completely des-
troyed 3 page forms with ads, caus-
ing about $4,000 worth of damage.
Detective Sgts., C. C. Dudley and
U. S. Matthews, were called in on
the case. Being unable to find any
one who had seen a prowler about
the plant that morning, they resort
ed to some of the stratagem of the
detecting profession and soon locat-
ed the loot at the SPECIAL Junk co.,

could give only a general descrip-
ton of the party who sold him the
metal for $3.50, working on this bit
of evidence the detectives soon had

er's article, said the NAACP, "is
to plant the idea firmly that prac-
tically all Negroes are infected
with a loathsome venereal disease
and that they are more promiscuous
as a racial characteristic, than 9TH
er races. This is a great and cruel
libel.
1.-THE principle damage of the
statement lies in its effect upon the
earning of a livelihood by colored
people. This association knows of
no study, made on an unbiased sci
entific basis, which shows Negroes,
to be more promiscuous than other
races. We wish to register our
emphatic protest against the Bar
ringer article and to demand a re-
traction and an apology"
Frank Herman, director of the
health association, has acknowledge
ed the protest, stating hat it would
be taken up with the Social Hygiene
Committee, and saying: "please be
assured that our Association-en-
tertains only the highest regard
and opinion of the colored people
every proper step will be taken to
correct the mistake that was made
through unfortunate inadvertence
in permitting the passage to which
you object being quoted in our pub
lication."
ALTHOUGH the article bore DR..
Barringer's name as the author, at
the end was appended a reference
to the book Handbook of Social
Hygiene" by Long and Goldberg.

Tommy Harmon, Michigan's all

Champion Chicago Bears next fall
if he agrees to play professional
football, it was determined today
when the National Football Leagues
annual draft got under way at the
Willard Hotel.
Harmon was drawn by the last
place Philadelphia Eagles. who had
first choice, but goes to the Bears
under an arrangement made q year
ago. Both the Eagles and Pitts
burgh Steelers were bound under this
deal to turn their first choices over
to the Bears.
Forest EvashevSki, Harmon's
blocker at Michigan who is credited
with making many of Tommy's
touchdown runs possible, was the
first choice of the Redskins, who were
last of the 10 teams to draw.
John Kimbrough, Texas A. and
M. fullback, was the first choice of
the Chicago Cardinals. Except for
the fact that the Cardinals won the
toss from the Steelers, with whom
they were tied in the league stand
ings, Kimbrough also probably
would have gone to the Bears.
AS it was, the Steelers drew Norm
Standlee, Stanfords great fullback,
and must turn him over to the
Bears. For their own selection in the
first round the Bears took Don
Scott, Ohio States 225-pound
blocking quarterback.

Jackson Gives Reply
To 0vertures From
Dies Committee
Insists on Secrecy for
Those Cases Which
Could Be Prosecuted
By J. A. FOX.

Replying TO overtures from the
Dies Committee for a working ar
rangement" with the Justice De-
pertinent in combating subverslye
activities, Attorney General Jackson
today insisted on continued secrecy
for those cases where there is a
chance of maintaining successful
prosecution.
The Attorney Generals stand was
disclosed in an exchange of CORE
spondence with Representative Voor-
his, Democrat, of California. who has
been acting as mediator" in the
row between the House Committee
on Un-American Activities, headed
by Chairman Dies. and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation over methods
to be pursued in warning on spies and
Saboteurs.
Mr.. Voorhis told the Attorney
General that the committee and
the F. B. l. operated in separate fields
and he believed the department
should lend its aid to the House
group by furnishing such informa-
ton as might be obtained from time
to time upon matters which do not
afford a basis for prosecution or
action by the department under
present law, but which could and
should properly be given to the
American people If they are to be
on guard against technically legal,
as we'll as illegal. efforts of the
agents of totalitarianism to weaken
and undermine our democracy
Same Policy on Cases.
Mr.. Jackson in reply said the
Justice Department would be glad
to furnish information on cases
where probable prosecutive action
is not involved. He added, however
that this was the policy that had
been pursued in the past.
Mr.. Voorhis said the committee
should continue to make its files
available to the department for any
assistance that might be rendered
to the F. B. I. On this point, Mr..
Jackson asked that when this was
done the committee should not dis
close that the cases were being re-
ferred to the department, as such
publicity might hinder prosecution.
The Attorney General told Mr..
VoorhiS he would be satisfied to have
the House committee decide the
merits of each case-"that is, if the
facts it has developed should be re-
ferred to this department for prose-
cution or disclosure in aid of formu-
lation of legislation better to meet
the situation"
He warned, however, that when
the committee is determining Wheth-
er a case should be referred for
