By mail, we received a headache cure calendar that promises a thundershOwer on next Fourth of July and series of gales on Easter. Jim Tyler could back that calen- dar into a corner and with his eyes closed come nearer to pick ing good hay day. If the head ache remedy isn't any better than the weather predictions, it's safe bet we'll stick to skullcap pouI- tices. Isn't there any law against using the mails for the distribu- tion of falsehcods? If there isn't, there should be, and soon. We're tired of being taken for a ride by smart guys who think they knew more about weather than shoe full of cOrns.

 Wanta hear an Indian talk? The parson has booked buck to de- liver an oration here Sunday eve ming. People claim this new speak CT is a Sioux, so he must be an importation. All of our native h. d;ans are Pootatucks, leaner than Sioux and twice as mean. Sioux Injuns are the kind that Buffalo Bill used to have in his tent show, and they usually wear feathered head dresses and make noises like a Jew peddler trying to explain why he won't pay cash for the chickens he has bought from poor farmer.
 Nate Evarts might have Indian blood in his veins, except that he is too honest. But Nate wouldn't be like that Yale Hebrew we once knew who claimed that he had once been adopted into the tribe. Nate would take his savage an- cestry in stride and not try to make out he was anything he wasn't.

PATTERSON HITS ALABAMA
REFUSAL TO FREE FIVE
SCOTTSBORO BOYS

Chicago, March-(CNA)-Will Ne
gro America continue to be ruled
through frameups and false imprison-
ment?
Will the campaign of the Southern
congregational bloc against the Anti
Lynching Bill cause more Scots
boros?
This was the challenge issued this
week by William L. Patterson, ma
tional vice-president of the Interna
tional Labor Defense, as that organi-
zation began renewed campaign for
the release of the five remaining
Scottsboro boys denied freedom last
week by the Alabama Board of Par
dons and Paroles.
The five, serving terms of from 20
to SO years each, are Clarence Norris,
Haywood Patterson, Charles Weems,
Andy Wright and Ozzie Powell. Four
other youths, originally convicted in
1881 on the same charge of "raping"
two white girl hoboes in drumhead
trial at Decatur, Alabama, are free.
Earl B. Dickerson, South Side alder
man from Chicago's Second Ward, al
so issued scathing denunciation of
the boards action in sending back to
their living deaths these five innocent
boys
"Based upon the trumped-up evil
dence presented at their trials" de-
clared Dickerson, who is the president
of Cook County Bar Association, "all
of the boys are equally innocent or
equally guilty.
II believe that they are all innocent,
that they have been victimized because
of their poverty and their color. Their
conviction is moral disgrace to Ala
bama and to Alabama's officials, who
because of the states poll tax laws, are
| elected by handful of voters"
Patterson, who directed the world
wide fight to free the Scottsboro boys
! said: "Unquestionally, the failure oi
the United States Senate to join the
House in passing the Anti-Lynch Bill
influenced for the worst that criminal
decision Of the Alabama board.
That decision-one of the rankest
ever handed down by Southern gov
erning body-shows that the landlords
and mill-owners of the South will con-
tinue to rule Negroes by frame-ups
and false imprisonment until the poor
white and colored citizens of the South
unite to establish real democracy in
their part of the country"

ASKS END OF JIM CROW IN

FACILITIES

Washington, March-(CNA) - A
drive to smash discrimination in fed
eral government cafeterias, public golf
courses, tennis courts and other rec
reation facilities here is being organ
lied by the National Negro Congress,
it was announced here this week.
The facilities are now operated on
federal property by the General We'll
fare and Recreation Associations So
called "private corporation" under a
concession from the federal govern
ment.
Congress officials pointed out that
the properties are to revert to federal
agencies and that it will be unconsti-
tutional for them to continue to bar
Negro citizens from the free use of all
of these facilities of the federal govern
ment. A formal demand on govern
ment officials for a ruling in the mat
ter will be made by the National Ne
gro Congress. If federal officials re-
fuse to abolish the jim-crow order now
governing the use of the facilities,
legal action is planned by the Con-
gress.
