Young Odell Waller comes home
to Virginia, after looking for work
in Maryland, to find aged Mrs.
Waller and his young wife-both

the money owing them =.
Young Waller went timidly to
brave his landlords anger and try
to get his family's share of the
crop. He went timidly because it's
dangerous thing for Negro to
insist on his rights in this section;
and Davis was known as a hard
man who carried a gun because OF
a quarrel with his son. g. You

Somewhat
Expressive

Hitler has boosted that Anne
RIGA would be an inside job.
That he has started is manifested
in the magazine Negro Youth" an
account of which was printed in
this column last week. The old
saying, United We Stand, Divid-
ed we wall" usually rings true. To
allow an inside job done Anne
RIGA must be divided. The idea of
such publications is to divide, to
stir up petty hatreds inside of
the country. Walter Winchell in
his last Sundays broadcast said
that movement was under foot to
turn every one against each other,
to divide the people into as many
groups as possible, to cause inter-
