Maxwell. port commission mem
Der. pointed out that Tacoma was
one OF the few American cities
laid out originally with alleys. and
that many a city envies us that
advantage In service to the rear Of
homes. rather than TO the front :"
II was shown that in the plat
proposed. all servicing. including
garbage, would be at the front OF
the houses. The brothers had told
the council and planning body that
they were willing to furnish ease
ments for 10-foot strips between
rows OF lots to provide for electric
light service poles.
Utilities Commissioner O'Neii
repeated Monday his earlier insist
enoe that ls-foot alleys should be
dedicated. instead. to public use 80
that the light department trucks
could operate through the alleys in
servicing transformers and the
power lines.
Fail 10 Attend
Were not going 10 lug poles
and oo0-pound transformers into
those alleys by hand" Omen said.
Neither OF the Meyers attended
the meeting. although they had
been expected. as was an FILA
official who also failed To arrive.
Mayor II. P. Cain argued that
there should be some way OF get
ting together on this" He inter
preted the sntipathy to alleys to
modern trend TO utilize space
heretofore often wasted much of
the time.
Alleys" he said. belonged 10

fuel and had 10 be delivered at

Myers Must Agree
1t was decided that the Movers
would have to agree with FLA
authority on a plan and plat TO be
submitted to the planning com
mission for Its approval later, even
II II means delaying tn. pro ject.
The brothers have talked Of
starting with about 40 houses and
enlarging the development later TO
300 or more.
Charles F. Mason. representative
Of the realtors. voiced his objec-
tions but said he had talked TO a
dozen others who oppose the
Meyers plat proposal as not con
forming to city standards here.
Similar opposition was expressed
by Frederick Heath, architect
member OF the commission.

at this time" and went on to
take root, and identified the men
who had worked on the national
committee. He pointed to the
futile efforts Negroes had been
making to find work, and the
denial of opportunities to them
regardless of the qualifications.
Conferences with government
officials were cited on which oc-
casions the "wave of disillusion-
ment and desperation that was
sweeping over the Negro masses
throughout the country" was clear
ly pictured to them. The lack
of progress, he said, made it i'm
perative that some unusual, bold
and gigantic effort be made to
awaken the American people and
the President" to a realization of
the seriousness of the matter. The
march was considered a sober way
of giving direction to what other
wise might be a reckless and ir-
resolute outbreak.
when this grave situation was
brought to the attention of the
President" Randolph declared, che
expressed his deep concern about
it He therefore issued the state
ment to the country and told the
Office of Production Management
to call for the recognition of the
rights of workers in employment
in national defense industries with
out regard to race, creed color or
national origin. The Negro March
on Washington committee viewed
this statement with admiration,
but considered it not enough. We
called upon the President to issue
an executive order with teeth in
it."
He read the order finally issued
which (1) directed all government
agencies concerned with training
programs for national defense to
take measures to end discrimina-
ton; (2) directed the insertion
in all government contracts, here
after negotiated, a provision obi
eating the contractors to employ
Negroes, and others Disseminated
against; and 90 directed the
establishment, in OPM, of a five
man committee on fair employ
ment practice to investigate COM
plants of violations of the order,

frigid print the agony of the Amer
lean Negro, detail the thousands
of lynchings, again on the increase,
which have stained American his
tory.
President Roosevelt, himself,
has said that the Negroes are dis
eliminated against by American
industry. They are denied jobs and
the denial of a job is sometimes
the denial of life.
The Nazis know this and deny
jobs to the Jews.
In Hitler's Germany Jews are
denied all voice.
In these United States most Ne
groes are denied voice, denied the
right to vote.
In Hitler's Germany, Jews can
not enter most hotels, restaurants,
and theaters, are forced to certain
mental tasks, driven out of pro-
fessions, segregated, forced to at
tend inferior schools.
Can you save democracy for the
world if you kill it at home?
The answer lies in President
Roosevelt's condemnation of dis
elimination. But this is not
enough. The poll tax of the South
must be killed and the anti-lynch
law must be passed in Congress.
Americans everywhere must raj
ly behind this two-point program,
for violence and discrimination are
the twin marks of Fascism.

he was ordained by his father, a
minister of the gospel for sixty
years to follow the Christ and
preach his word.
Rev. Swancy broke all preced-
ents, returned to the city of his

the services of his God and to
preach the gospel of his faith. He
