of the general membership but is
the wish of few narrow minded
and racial leaders or officials of
the type in local Isl who came
back to the local and behind clos
ed doors rescinded the motion to
admit Negroes which had been
passed unanimously by the general
membership OF its meeting on July
18th.
Thus we see that the Negro in
Seattle is right where he was and
has been for the past 20 years in
regard to employment at the Boe-
ing Aircraft Company Plants.
The main front in the present
fight must be directed at the Union
officials as well as the company
officials. In letter from the per-
sonnet director of the plant to Mr.
Squires, the statement was made
that the company intends that
consideration for employment will
be given qualified Negro appli-
cants-"
The company can do nothing to
realize this intention since the To-
cal bargaining agency still refuses
to admit the Negro worker to
membership.
These actions on the part of the
local, as has been said before, are
traceable to the narrow and sell
fish interests of the lea 1ership of
the local. The Character of that
leadership is shown by the large
number of trials for misconduct
and membership in sbuversive
groups being conducted in and by
the local at present in connection
with the supposed domination of
the affairs of the union by MEM
bers of the Communist Party.
These charges were filed by Cliff
Stone youthful editor of the Aero
Mechanic and a staunch friend of
the Negro in his fight for employ
ment thus far.
Now is the time for Negro fore
es locally and nationally to unite
in their efforts to appraise the
Company, the National Advisory
Commission on National Defense
Affairs, the State and National
Legislatures and Officials of the
damnable exclusion tactics being
practiced and the right and neces-
sity of the Negro being included
in the present program of develop
ing and adequate National Defense
1t is his right as an American
to be given consideration over and
above known Communists in hav-
ing an opportunity to earn living
from the expenditures of nearly
$500, 1000, 100000 for Defense devel-
opment in the City and vicinity of
Seattle alone.
A program of concerted action
is now being developed to carry
this fight to the very end, and Mr..
Squires suggests that every race
member prepare to participate to
the fullet possible extent

Liberty Our

BY DIR. Charles Sickle

Patrick Henry's declaration
"Give me liberty or give me death"
finds an echo in every mans heart,
no matter what may be his race,
his color or his creed. This desire
for liberty was planted by the Gre
ator Therefore, those who stand
in the way of its accomplishment
and it's fulfillment are fighting
against Gods decree.
To most of us it is a priceless
heritage. But while we have glor-
led in our freedom, some of us have
forgotten the price with which our
freedom was purchased. We have
enjoyed liberty as though it were
a gift which carried with it no
obligation, and we have been reck-
less spendthrifts of our Inheritance.
When such enemies of our coun-
try flaunt their contempt in our
faces the time has come for every
loyal American to stand up in his
wrath and speak out as loyal ci-
items, particularly as we are now
confronting forces which threaten
our future as a Republic of free
men and women.
Every true American should vi
gorously oppose those whose sole
purpose is our destruction and hui
initiation, lest we be subjected to
the rule of those who are opposed
to the principles of freedom and
liberty which were bought at so
great a price, and which have
made America the haven for OPP
pressed of all nations.

On Playing Golf
By Harold HOIifield

First secure golf ball. It does
not matter much which kind you
get, but the best ones are the white
and round kind. Assuming you are
on golf links and have golf club
in hand, place ball on tee, a piram-
idicular, cylindrical object having
two ends, one pointed, the other
unpointed. The pointed end goes
into the ground; the other holds
the ball. Place ball on tee, caution
ing it not to roll off. Take stance
of person leaning over cliff. Grasp
club with both hands, raise over
head and ssswingg!!! Disregard
any motion in grass at other end
of course. 1t was probably squir-
rel or chipmonk, because the
ball is still at your feet Try again,
keeping eye on ball. In most cases,
just looking at it will suffice. Ball
still at your feet. Start cussing a
blue streak, break cub over knee,
throw at caddy, jump up and down,
vow never to set foot on golf
course again, and froth at the
mouth. Then get another club
from caddy, If he's still around.
Gaze at ball more steadily this
time, if you have been up the night
before and see two balls, don't
worry, because two club heads will
come down to hit them. Disre-
gard angleworm on golf ball; he
just wants place of safety. AS
Stunning that you hit ball, it will
jump a couple of times and land
two feet away. Worm, bruised
and angry, makes wry face and
goes into hole to sulk. Advance
on ball menacingly, and this time,
really whick it. All ha, hit. Ball
goes up, up, up, oh, a tree, crack,
bounce, zzzzzzzzzump! On your
forehead. Despite temptation, do
not crawl into hole with worm.
He is in bad humor, too. If con-
scious, just say ouch! and forget
about it. But don't give up yet.
Stagger to ball, raise club and
zipswisssssshshshhhhhshsplash. In
water hole. Remove shoes and
socks and wade in after ball. Dis
regard lobster pinching toe; he
was placed there as a hard. (All
right, all right, so Holsters do not
live in fresh water, but this one
was made specially With good foot,
one that does not have lobster
hanging on it, grope around until
you find ball. Ascertain position.
Strike! Foot slips on goo in pond
bottom and you fall, splud! Rise to
sitting position, grab ball, stand
up, fall down again and crawl to
shore. Dislodge lobster. Make
sure no one is looking, then throw
ball gleefully to land. Climb out
after it, retrieve socks from caddy
who is using them to polish his
shoes, and replace on feet, shoes
too. This time your face COM
forted into a grim, determined
look, hit ball resoundingly. A nice
one-into the sand trap. Hit at
ball. Club connects, ball burrows
deeper in sand. Pick up ball and
throw it out, hitting caddy. Caddy,
perplexed at having nap disturbed,
throws it back. Ignore ball, wrap
club around caddy's neck, throw
bag into water hole missing lob
ster by 21a inches, and stalk away
never to return-until the next
week.

Child Welfare LEGISLATION

Discussion OF required child well
fare legislation for 1910 will be had

The program is presented by the
Child Welfare Committee Of the
Legislative Subcommittee, Of which
Mrs. Louis Gutenberg is chairman.

major pieces of legislation, the COM
mittee will hear discussions of THE

Board OF Public Welfare Law to

Spencer Gordon, a member of the
Welfare Board; "The Need for Re-

be provided with the basic essentials
Of modern health service.
Warns Of False Security.
"The needs are great The op-
portunities for life saving and for
enhancing national efficiency are
very real. 1t is hoped that the Con-
gress will give prompt and careful
consideration to developing a COM
prehensive program for national
health"
Although pointing to the United
States provisional death rate of 1915
per 1000 population in 1888 as the
Lowest ever recorded" DR.. Parran
warned that this low general NOR
tality rate should not lull the pub
lie into false security nor should it
be the excuse for a relaxation of
public health effort" The rate COM
pared with 11.2 in 1887 and 10.7 in
1888.
1T should always be borne in
mind" he said, that the general
mortality rate is national average
in which are obscured significantly
high rates among certain groups Of
the population and in certain locali-
ties"
Moreover, the mortality rates, ac-
cording to !. the surgeon general

health centers might be a substitute
for the more complex and costly
plans in the Wagner health bill.
This measure embodies most of the
proposals of the Interdepartmental
Committee and would lead to ex-
penditures Of hundreds of millions
each year within several years. The
A. M. A. has strenuously objected
to many provisions of the Wagner
bill, but apparently is more favor
ably inclined to the recent position
taken by the President.
Services Unevenly Supplied.
DR.. Parran in his discussion of
a health program points out that
the Interdepartmental Committee
and its technical advisers reveal
that health and medical services
were unevenly supplied throughout
the country.
National health needs of such
magnitude and diversity were dis
closed that greatly expanded Fed
eral cooperation with the States
was found to be essential" said the
surgeon general, IF needs are to be
adequately supplied
THE committee feels he con-
tinued, that comprehensive pro-
gram designed to meet the Nation S
health needs should provide Cd basic
health services for the prevention
and control of disease in all parts
Of the United States; co adequate
services for medical care of the
sick; 80 sufficient and accessible
hospital beds and other physical
facilities which are essential to mod
ern diagnosis and treatment; and
"a compensation of the gainfully

the shocking increments. Of sick
ness and suffering resulting from
lack of medical care, nor of the
many thousands of non-fatal cases
of preventable illness"
Cancer and heart disease, he re-
ported, were the only major causes
OF death for which higher rates
were recorded in 1898. The trend in
mortality from both Of these, he
said, had been consistently upward
for several years-an increase due
In part at least to the larger pro-
portion of the population reaching
the older age periods in which cam
Ger and heart disease are more
prevalent.
Maternal Mortality Declines.
No cases of cholera, yellow fever
or human plague occurred in the
United States in 1898, but measles
and smallpox were more prevalent
than usual.
The decline in maternal mortal
ity continued throughout 1888, max
ing the ninth consecutive year in
which q decrease has been recorded.
The provisional rate for 1888 was 40
per 1000 live births. and was about
10 per cent less than for 1887 and
80 per cent less than for 1888.

employed for wage loss resulting
from temporary or permanent dis
ability caused by non-industrial
sickness"
Pointing out that the principle
underlying these proposals for i'm
fermentation of the program was
grants-in-aid to the States, DR.. Par
ran said "the function of the Fed
eral Government would be the pro-
vision of professional. technical and
financial assistance to cooperating
States. Programs based on local
health and medical care needs would
originate within the States, and
State authorities would retain ad-
ministrative responsibility for the
operation of their programs.
Sound first steps have been taken
by the Federal Government in de-
veloping Federal-State cooperative
health programs. The time seems
opportune to extend the amount and
scope of these services to enable

Suicide Was Suspended

G. David. Houston, principal of
Armstrong High School, last night
denied that David Erwin Wells, IS
year-old student, who committed
suicide here Friday, had been sus-

The boys father, David E. Wells,

paper reporters after his sons death
that he understood the youth had
been depressed because Of scholastic
failures which led to his suspension
from Armstrong.

out that under District law, students
under Is cannot be suspended. The
