JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By q. I. r.

President Roosevelt announced
the appointment of his committee
on fair labor practices: Mark f.
Ethridge, Chairman, Phillip MUIR
ray, President CLIO, william Green,
President AT of L, Dave Sarnoff,
President Radio Corporation of
America, Earl b. Dickerson, Chi
cago Alderman, and Milton Web
ster, first vice president of the
BSCP. The last two named are
Race men. The chairman is vice
president and general manager of
the Louisville Courier Journal and
a strong liberal white leader. We
doubt if better committee could
have been chosen.
The first duty of the committee
will be to probe the most fragrant
firms in denial of employment. The
following firms have already been
suggested by the NAACP.
Consolidated Aircraft Corpora
ton, San Diego, CAL; Glenn L.
Martin Company, Baltimore, Md. /;
Baldwin Locomotive Works, Eddy
stone, Pa; North American Avia-
ton, Inglewood, CAL; General Mo-
tors Corporations; Sperry Company
in Brooklyn, N. Y; Colt Firearms
Company, Hartford Conn; Vultee
Aircraft Corporation; United Air
craft Corporation, Hartford,
Conn; Boeing Aircraft Company,
Seattle, Washington; Spartan Air
craft Company, Tulsa, Okla.
The NAACP memorandum de-
clared 1--WE believe that such an
approach Ito these firns) would
be most salutary and that investi-
cation of and corrective action
against discrimination in these
larger plants will dramatically af-
feet employment policies of other
concerns as well as the ones chos-
en- for initial action"
The NAACP memorandum also
urged that the newly-created COM
mittee use moral suasion or other
effective means of reaching dis
elimination in contracts let by the
federal government prior to the
issuance Of the Presidents execu-
tive order"

Mayor Millikin
Hats Pool Bias

Mayo Earl Millikin yesterday
gave assurances to a delegation
headed by Hugh DeLacy, Wash
ington Commonwealth Federation
president, that there would be no
further racial discrimination at
the recently opened Colman Men,
orial Pool.
The delegation included John e.
Prim, Negro attorney and presi-
dent of the Seattle branch, Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People; Prentis
I. Frazier, Negro broker, and Jack
Johnson, Negro member Of the
Washington Federation for Con-
stitutional Liberties, DeLacy said.
DeLacy said the visit was
prompted by the failure of the
park board to take official action
on the protest that nonwhites
were being excluded from the pool,
after Millikin had indicated by let
ter that admission would be on an
impartial and equal basis.
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1941-08-01

His mission was to call on the
heads of various departments on
official business.
Frazier said a peep behind the
scenes convinced him that Gov.
Arthur B. Langlie was building a
new Washington upon a granite
base. He predicted when his term
as governor expires, Governor
Langlie would write his own tick
ct in the state.
Frazier is elated over the fav-
orable reception given him by the
various officials and said he is con-
WINGED a new era dawns for Ne
groes in the state of Washington.
Asked about appointments in
which the K. c. C. r. c. would
share, Frazier said that while he
had much valuable information,
his release would be made first to
the organization which he repre-
sented.
His disclosure will be made t.
an executive board meeting to be
held this week.

Doc Brown Is Dead
By j. A. (Jack) johnson

The dear old Earth, hoary with
the age of countless centuries, un-
affected in his universal sympa-
thies by season, or condition, by
wind or weather, by sunshine or
gloom, by riches or poverty or
station in life, strokes complacent-
ly his beard and day by day, year
by year, today, just as he has done
in the past and will do in the fu-
ture, benignly folds to his bosom
all that the scythe of time mows
down. In like manner, Monday,
July 28th, shortly before 7 o'clock
p. M, Edwin j. (Doc) Brown, the
most dynamic and colorful mayor
in the history of Seattle politics
answered the call of the great I
AM.
1t was the writer's pleasure to
enjoy a thirty minute visit with
Doc in his office on the Monday
before he died and listen to re-
miniscences of the old days when
democrats in Washington were
scarcer than Christians and cam
paign deficits were constant
headache. Doc said among other
things that he was flat broke, but
did not care, because if he had
money, his enemies would say he
had stolen it. Doc Brown was a
loyal friend of the Negro. During
his term as mayor, when it was
rumored that certain police offic-
ers said that they would not walk
a beat with a Negro officer, Doc
Brown said they would and they
did. When the Klu Klux Khan, the
Negroes bitterest enemy said that
they would parade through the

Peace Officer To
Patrol E. Madison
By Joe Station

Inspector Walter B. Kirtley, the
new assistant chief of police, as
sured the Northwest Enterprise
and the Rev. Fountain w. Penick
of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, a
peace officer would be assigned to
the East Madison district on the
night shift.
The necessity for the assign
ment shown, Asst. Chief Kirtley
treasures our public he is mindful
of their peace and safety.
The traffic conditions were also
discussed and as quickly as their
new program is in operation, an
effort will be made to make every
car operator and pedestrian traf-
fic conscious.
The Northwest Enterprise re-
affirms its faith in Chief of Police
Herbert D. Kimsey and his Assist
ant Chief Walter b. Kirtley.
In the same breath, we reaffirm
we will never surrender a right
for racial welfare.
Let's Do Our Part.
The few business enterprises we
operate must not be destroyed by
those who do not appreciate their
obligations to the public. The pro-
tests of murmuring public may
turn into a demand which may in
stitute harsh measures. We alone
will be to blame.
We have been assured the offic-
err will not be on dress parade. He
will be an officer with duty to
perform. AS a citizen it is your
duty to aid him, always remember
ing others have rights we are
bound to respect.
Because Libery is not license,
East Madison District needs a
peace officer.

NA.AC.P. DRIVE NEARS 500 GOAL
Rev. F. ". Penick Ends Drive For 500
New Members In NAACP

With 1T members reported in
the final roll call last Thursday
evening, the total membership of
the Seattle Branch N. A. A. c. p,
new and renewals, skyrocketed
from 50 to 429 members. The goal
of 500 members was not quite
reached, but the campaign was
such an overwhelming success the
workers are more than elated.
Memberships will continue to be
received, however, and it is hoped
ere the year closes that the 800
mark will be reached.
Most of the credit for the sue
cess of this campaign is due to the
dynamic leadership of Rev. Foun-
tain w. Penick, who not only in
spired his workers, but continued
to top the list by bringing in the
largest number of members at
each roll call. The workers labored
diligently, and the people respond
ed nobly. The Board of Trustees
joins with the membership COM
mittee in thanking the public for
this splendid response.
The president, ]. E. Prim, an
nounced a reception for the new
members to be held early in Sep
TENDER, and this will be the first in
series of quarterly meetings with
outstanding speakers, and where
each member will have an oppor-
tunity to participate. He also asks
for suggestions for members, and
promises to enter Fundamentally
into a program of activities for
the members.
At the meeting of the Trustees
Tuesday night, an invitation was
extended to Dr. Penick to become
member of the Board to fill the
vacancy caused by the leaving of
Mr.. Robert Pitts, who will teach
at La Moyne beginning this fall.
The Trustees and the public at
large will be very happy to have
DR.. Penick serve in this capacity.
Following is list of the men,
bers as reported at the last roll
call. Memberships of $3.50, which
includes a subscription to the Cri-
sis magazine, were given by Mrs
Sadie Mables, Mrs. Anna Payne
and Mrs. Rosie Smith. Those pay

These and many other acts toe
numerous to mention come to
mean to thinking Negroes that
Doc Brown was a champion OF
civil rights and equality of oppor-
tunity. In grateful appreciation OF
these acts we voted for him long
after we knew his political star
had set.
Doc Brown was stricken with
a heart attack about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and passed shortly
before with his wife and two of
his three sons, DR.. Kirk Brown, of
Grandview and Clyde Brown, of
Seattle at his bedside. Another
son, Edwin J. Jr., resides at Los
Angeles.
Thus was written the last chap
ter of an active and constructive
life. Bon voyage, Doc. May God
bless and guide you over there.
And as David, speaking of the
dead Absolon said to his people,

not know great man has fallen

man. Alexander so resented Jack
sons laughter that he struck him
with his hand and with his pistol.
Jackson was arrested, placed in
the police car, and on the way to
the station, Alexander shot Jack
son four times, killing him..
The coroner Investigated and
brought in verdict Of justifiable
homicide, and the grand jury re-
fused to indict the officer.
At this point, the Birmingham
branch of the NAACP retained at
torneys Montgomery and Shores
and succeeded in having Alexander
fired. A murder charge will now
be pushed.
