Seek Lend Lease
To Aid Ethiopia

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS)-
The National Negro Congress this
week asked President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to extend aid under the
LeaSe-Lend Act to Ethiopia. Con-
gres officials pointed out in a letter
to the President that there was
grave danger to American interests
from possible attacks by the Nazis
on Africa filloWing their unsuccess-
full effort to invade the Soviet
Union. They asked that Negro pilots
and quantities of material and war
supplies be shipped to Halle Selas-
sic, Emperor of Ethiopia by way of
British Somaliland on the Red Sea
to enable Ethiopia to fight back
possible invasion attempts by either
Italy or Germany.
1T should be possible, stated
the letter, ito send to Ethiopia
training planes and trained Negro
pilots to aid in establishing an
air force capable of COM
batting any threatened attacks. Tt
should also be possible to send arms
and munitions in quantities suf-
f1cient to equip in modern fashion

Driver jailed
For Roughing
Bus Passenger
Incident One
Of Many Listed
By N. A. A. c. P.

NEW YORK (SNS)-Because he
refused to give up his non-reserved
seat in the front of Quaker City
bus to white passenger, Charles
Edwards, member of the New York
Youth Council No. of the NAACP
was forcibly elected by the driver
and a bus dispatcher at the Quak-
er City terminal here August 18
The driver has been arrested.
Edwards was returning on a
round-trip ticket to Camden, New
Jersey, where he is employed in a
Shipyard. He had no reservation,
but was informed by the ticket
agent, Is minutes before the bus
was to leave, that he could take
any available seat. At about two
minutes before the bus was to
pull out, Edwards got on and took
vacent seat near the front. I'M
mediately the driver told him to
move back, that a white passenger
was entitled to that seat. E.dtIards
protested that the seat was not
reserved and that he did not in
tend to move.
The driver told Edwards that he
would put him off the bus, and fol-
lowed the statement by fOrcibly
ejecting him with the assistance OF
the dispatcher. In the melee, Ed
wards jacket was torn and several
passengers demonstrated with the
bus driver. Edwards formal COM
plant for assault led to the arrest
of the driver.
The hearing on the complaint
was set for two o'clock the same
day. Mrs. Edwards called the ma
tional office of the NAACP and
Attorney Donald Crichton was call
ed to represent the plaintiff. Be-
cause Edwards two witnesses were
not available, the hearing was adj
journed until Monday.
The incident is one of many re-
ported to the national office con-
corning the policy of various COM
panies operating out of New York
City to points above the jim crow
line in assigning colored passengers
to the rear of these buses. Further
action to remedy this condition Is
planned by the NAACP legal staff.

Closed To
Calf. Lady

LOS ANGELES -(ANP
investigation in the constant re-
fusal of General hospital at
taches to admit a local woman
into the hospital for an urgent
operation will be launched this
week. The investigation result
ed in a disclosure made Mon
day by Miss Sadie Fowler
whose efforts to enter the hos
pital since last February Z
have been of no avail.
Miss Fowler, suffering from
a stomach ailment, has made
several trips to the hospital
armed with letters from prom
inent physicians including one
signed by a DIR. Show OF the
hospital staff urging that she
be admitted, she said, and in
spite of several treatments to
prepare her for an operation,
hospital attaches steadtastly
have refused to admit her.
Her lengthy ailment has
handicapped her financial in
come and as a result she has
been forced to reside with rela-
tives, Miss Fowler said.
When it was first known that
Miss Fowler was without funds
the hospital demanded that she
sign over her insurance. This
she did, but officers continue
to refuse her admittance. Claim
ing that she suffers constant
pains and on previous trips to
the hospital, it was necessary
that she be taken on a stretch
er, doctors have not sought
to diagnose her case through x
ray methods, but instead on
each arrival gave her pills.
During her Illness, since Febru-
airy, the patient has lost As
pounds.
Demanding to know why her
admittance was delayed, Miss
Fowler was told by nurses that
there were no beds available
and there were no nurses to
care for her, she said.

Fl. Bragg On
Recent Act
Aims Criticism
At Authorities
OF Army Camp

NEW (SNS)-Level-
ing criticism at Fort Bragg au-
thorities, the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People drew parallel be-
tween the case of a northern
white draftse who was sentenced
to 10 years and nine months at
hard labor for refusing to clean
his quarters. and the case of the
military police there who bullied
and insulted Negro soldiers and
officers after the shooting of a
Negro private and a white ser
geant August 6.
Sergeant Russell Owens was
acquitted last week for the shoot
ing Of Private Ned Truman in
the fracas on a bus bound for the
camp. Acquittal came from Gen.
eral Court from which there is
no appeal. Other military police
men, and white soldiers at the
camp who had a hand in the
roundup, disarming and insulting
of Negroes on the night of Aug
ust 6, have not been punished.
The NAACP stated that if
such drastic punishment can be
meted out to a soldier for not
cleaning his quarters and for
'spitting on the floor" Fort
Bragg authorities should be made
to explain their failure to pros
ecute the soldiers who swore at,
bullied, and inflicted unneces-
sary indignities on fellow sol
diers and superior officers.
This is further evidence, said
the Association, that routine ar
my procedure is not satisfactory
or sufficient to deal with the
conditions arising from the con-
flict between colored soldiers
and preiudiced military and civ
il authorities in the south.
