Report Possible Suspension
OF Frank BransOn,
Steward, WhOSpOke Out

1t is understood that after the
appearance of Mr.. Branson's de-
NAL, Rev. Hayden called him and
asked him if he didn't think he
should resign the stewards board.
Meanwhile the rift in the church
membership widens. Most officers
won't admit the seriousness of the
threatened split, but one official
who asked that his name not be
used said: "The church is practi-
cally split wide OPEN"
The collection, always a barom-
eter of how things are in a church,
has fallen way below previous Sum
days.

A new bombshell dropped in the
controversy which has practically
split St. James A. M. E. Church

den, pastor of the church. Mr..
Branson issued a statement last
week questioning the use of his
name as one of the officials who
voted to give Rev. Hayden a vote
of confidence following the sepa-
ration of the Pastor and his wife
three weeks ago.

that preceded the American war
for independence. Negroes of the
American Expeditionary Force
were decorated for bravery in ac-
ton on the soil of France. A Ne
gro sailed with Columbus; a Negro
helped explore New Mexico; Ne
gro Commissioned by Jefferson)
helped survey the site of Washing
ton; a Negro stood in the snow
with Peary at the North Pole.
These facts are displayed arts
tically and dramatically in series
of % dioramas in the Court of
Honor. Their story of Negro his
tory is supplemented by murals,
painted by William Edouard Scott
of Chicago, and by dioramas in the
social science exhibit, the hall of
religion and the labor exhibit. The
current history of the American
Negro in agriculture is exemplified
in specimens of his handicraft and
his agricultural efforts in the ex-
hibition of the Department of Agri-
culture, visited recently by Secre-
tary Wallace.
Iron Smelted in Africa
The dioramas in the Court of
Honor were made by a staff of 70
white and Negro artists. The con-
struction was directed by Erik
Lindgren. The dioramas were
based on research material fur
nished by Capt. Charles G. Daw-
son and Arna Bontemps.
Particularly striking is the do
rama of African Negroes smelling
iron. Among anthropological au-
thorities who believe that iron
working was discovered by African
Negroes for themselves before they
had an opportunity to learn the
arts from white people is Wilfrid
D. Hambly, who carried on re-
search among primitive African
tribes for the Field Museum of
Natural History.
In a book for boys, with a Mo-
tor Truck in West Africa" Mr..
Hambly told of visiting a grove
on the road from Benin that is
held sacred to Ogun, revered by
natives as "the first blacksmith"
Also worthy of remark is the
diorama, momentarily illumined by
flashes of light as Of shellfre, de-
picting Negro soldiers on a bat
tlefield of France. They grasp
hand grenades. One supports the
form of a wounded white COM
rade.

Negroes Role in War

Fourteen h u n d r e d Negroes"
says "Cavalcade of the American
Negro" a brochure compiled by
the WPA Writer'S Project, "were
commissioned in the armed forces
between 1917 and 1918, ranging
from second leutenants to majors.
The deeds of these officers and the
enlisted men under them were re-
warded by Distinguished Service
Medals, Croix de Guerre and other
honors.
According to the same source,
at least 5000 Negroes saw ,serv-
ice in the continental armies in the
American Revolution. The diorama
showing the death of Crispus At
tucks in the Boston Massacre has
been mentioned. Above the do
rama is an inscription quoting
John Adams: 'TheEnglish-speak-
ing world will never forget the
noble daring, the excusable rash
ness of Attacks in the holy cause
of liberty"

Drop of Nearly $500 Names From Active Files, In- dcating Employment Conditions Locally Are ml-
 proving-MonthIy Statistics Released

year the number was 7,782 com pared to 7.996 for the previous month of May.
 The number of new applications were classified as follows: June 194O, 91l; June 1899, 73i and for May, 194O, 388. The increase as ex- plained is due to school and college students seeking to be placed on somebody's payroll.
 During the past month 324 pri- vate placements were made com- pared to AS for the previous month of May and 382 for June, 1889. Public placements were 22 for the past month; IS for the month of May and 92 for June, 1939.
 Better Report Coming
 In view of the fact that many local factories have observed their vacation period for employees, re- ducing production for more than a week, and that Uncle Sam did not start his real shopping spree until early in July there is every reason to anticipate that the next release from the state employment service office will show Waterbury definite ly "on the up and up" as far as business and new jobs are con- cerned.
 Manager MacKay's experienced eye notes other signs that Water bury is commencing to hit its stride and to regain its former place in the parade of statistics as being one of the busiest communities in Connecticut.

Itinerarium, the church's prayer for a long journey, and the orator of the day - Very Rev. John J. Board man, Brooklyn Director of the So- ciety for the Propagation of the Faith = recalled in a moving ad- dress, the signi1icance of the oc- casion. The Supel.or General of Maryknoll, Bishop James E. Walsh, M. M., D. D., read the formal mis- sion assignments, and invested each department with the missioner's cross. The assignment of Father Mccarthy read:
 By the authority of the Sacred
 Congregation for the Propagation
 of the Faith, and the constitutions
 of the Catholic Foreign Mission
 Society of America, you are here
 by assigned to labor as an aposta-
 lie missioner in the Philippines,
 under the jurisdiction of the Most

 More than 2000 relatives and friends who had come to witness the ceremony crowded around the cars waiting to carry the missioners to the transcontinental train.
 Father Mccarthy will sail from San Francisco, August g, aboard the s. s. President Taft.
 In the Philippine Islands, six Maryknoll priests are engaged in diocesan activities chiefly in Cebu, and also in the city of Manila. However, there is immediate need for priests in districts outside the city, where great parishes are under staffed, and thousands born into the Faith are suffering spiritually for lack of endorsements.
 In 2 territories of China, Japan Manchukuo, Korea, and in the Phil ippine and Hawaiian Islands. the Maryknoll Fathers labor among 25,000,0O0 people. Of the 359 mem- bers of the Catholic Foreign Mis- sion Society of America, (Mary- knolD, 10 priests and 3 Brothers are from Connecticut.

AsAssAAs"0N
 nearly $500 names from the June records of 1939 is reported today by Manager John R. MacKay. The decline is observed in what is off1- cially termed as the active file list or the number of applications pre- sented by persons eager to make contacs with employers.
 Difficult Month
 June is rather difficult month in which to draw the most appre- ciative results, owing to the fact that immediately following the clos ing of high schools and the return of college students the number of applications for work jump tremen- dously and rather dwarf whatever successful efforts the agency has made during the period. However, there is every indication, officially speaking, that the unemployment problem locally is being gradually solved by the daily receipt almost of government orders of Substan- tiAl value as well as from the rou- th-s sources, the automotive indus tries, the radio, the refrigerator and oeaher companies engaged in manu- facture of modern accessories.
 In June 1939 the number of names on active lists at the local ofYice was 11,234. In June of this
