NEW YoRK-Lou Gehrig, for

$1,000, 900 against the New York
Daily News and its sports editor,
Jimmy Powers. charging that a
story published in the News Aug.
Is damaged him to that extent by
suggesting that he had exposed the
baseball team to poliomyelitis.
The article to which Gehrig
took exception was signed by
Powers under the heading:
HAS Polio Hit the Yam

Yankees. for four years "one
Of the greatest baseball ma
chimes in history" had
slumped greatly, the story
continued:

acute stage.

fiicted Gehrig, dressed and I'M

PARALYSIS FUND

Since Nebraska was seventh in
per capita cases of infantile para
lysis in 1897, Nebraskans should
be aroused to the relentless war
fare on this disease, declared Mabel
Gillespie, Nebraska chairman of
the committee to celebrate h e
Presidents birthday. In the 43-
week period ending October %,
1899, the report shows 32 cases in
the state.
The disease was on the increase
in 1899. There were 6,255 cases in
the United States as against 1,514
for the same 43-week period in
1888, which was the lowest on
record since 1915. This is appro-
ximately a four-fold increase in
victims this year, according to
the state chairman who will direct
the Presidents birthday celebra-
tions in 93 Nebraska counties in
January.

HE PROBLEM OF TIL E
WORKER-With the newspapers
filled, from time to time, with the
statement of the large number of
unemployed in this country, we
naturally look around to see how
many of our people are on WPA
and the Reief roll, although we
are not suffering, we are still far
from being satisfied with our
economic position in this country.
Changing crop conditions in the
section where most of us live and
where SO per cent of race are la
borers, we can draw a sigh of re-
lief over the information just re-
leased by the Bureau of Immigra-
tion which tells us immigration
here is lowest since 1910, for it
means that with less immigrants
coming into this country, there
will be greater possibility of re-
employment to our people.
The Omaha guide., 1940-01-06

THE NEGRO AT ATHLETE
There are times when my heart
swells with pride when look
back over the pages of sporting
events of the past and read the
statements that Joe CAM, light
weight champion, of his time
spoken of as the "old MASTER" and
George Dickson, as little cho-
colate" and the praises rained up
on Jack Johnson, worlds heavy
weight; and the comments of the
minded sport writer's who tell
of the greatest champion of all
times, Joe Louis. There is cer-
tain psychology h a t prevails
when the names of members of
our race are mentioned as having
arisen to the top in their profess
sion, as it helps you and ! to be-
lieve in our possibility and appre-
ciate the country in which we live
which offers an opportunity for
achievements that count and go a
long ways toward dissipating pre-
iudice and discrimination. This is
America, "the land of the free
and the home of the brave"
The Omaha guide., 1940-01-06
OBSERVATIONS

A QUICK RESPONSE-A few
weeks ago in this column, we made
a suggestion that the religious
forces, as well as representatives
of different races, should get to-
gether and work out a program
to bring about a better under
standing, more tolerance and even
tual peace.
This column is lest than three
months old, yet it appears in SO
race journals. Our white folks
are evidently reading it too, for
on the 23rd of December, the Met
ropolitan press of the USA carried
story that the President of the
United States, had called in DR..
George A. Butteriek, president of
the Federated Council of Churches
and Rabbi Cyrus Adler, president
of the Jewish Theological Semin-
ary of America to consult with
him as spokesman for American
Professionalism and American Jew
ry in the common cause" of all
three faiths.
At the same time, he named
Myron c. Taylor, an episcopalian,
as an envoy to Rome to join with
a Jew in a parley with the Pope.
All of this will lead to a better
understanding and let us hope
peace.
CHEMIST PRODUCES AMI
NAL LIFE--A "synthetic" rabbit
produced from a solution of COM
mon table salt was the achieve
ment of a scientist and was exhi-
bited at the New York Academy
of Medicine. Such an experiment
that proves salt to be one of the
basic elements in animal life will
probably lead to a discovery that
will give medical science, the in
formation that will enable them
to conquer all of our human ills,
and thus preserve our health and
bring more happiness and longe-
vity.
AN HONEST OPINION-The
great Shrine's East and West
Charity football game, held in San
Francisco, New Years Day, at
tracted much attention and drew
wide comment when the promoters
failed to invite the great Kenny
Washington, an All-American, to
participate. Opinions were divided
but the majority of those inter-
ested felt that the Shrine promo
ters had Disseminated on a basis
of color. This view was held by
1t. Gov. Ellis Patterson, governor
of the state of California.

NECESSITY, THE MOTHER
OF INVENTION-There has been
much written about t h e freezing
treatment of cancer, but there has
not been an adequate system pro-
vided to carry out the theory, yet
an Oklahoma doctor, head of a
small hospital, proved equal to
the occasion when a cancer victim
came under his care. He rugged up
an apparatus sufficient to meet
the need by employing an electric
unit from refrigerator and rub
Der coils, placed around the in
fected region. With this home
made apparatus, he hope to ac-
complish a cure.

He went on record by saying SO.
Governor Olson, of the same state,
dilly-dallied, talked in circles,
lodged the issue which made his
comment valueless. 100000 people
who gave Kenny Washington a
standing ovation with ringing ap-
plause which lasted five minutes,
are unanimous in their criticism of
the shortsightedness displayed by
the Shrine promoters, who proved
their prejudice.

UNCLE SAM PUZZLES JA-
PAN-The question of the "open
door" in China and the abrogation
of our Trade Treaty with Japan
is putting our diplomatic corp on
it's medal in its attempt to bring
the Japanese to their senses and
have them realize that Uncle Sam
wants only a Trade Treaty that
will allow him to keep his pledge
to all the world, especially, China,
with whom this country also has
a treaty. All of our dealings with
all countries must be based on
justice, fair dealings and our
treaties must be honorable and i'm
partial. 1t may be that the Japa-
nese imperialists can't understand
the principles of our western de-
mocracy.

game series with the Washington
Senators.

It was the second straight defeat
of Lefty Kendall Chase Of the
Senators by the Red Sox and,
coincidentally, he was the losing
pitcher to Johnson in his last duel
with the Boston team in Washing
ton.
johnson limited the Washington
team to five singles but issued
four bases on balls, one OF which
forced in the second Senator run
in the eighth.
Jimmy Foxx, who had hit six
home runs in the last five games,

top-heavy favorites to retain the
title for the fourth season.
