Navy Insists
On N" BADGES

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The IN"
badges for colored workers
used at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard have been made standard
by the Navy department, ac-
cording to a letter to the N.
A. A. c. P. from Ralph A. Bard,
assistant secretary of the Navy.
Bard said that the badge was
developed for emergency use at
a West Coast Yard and that by
Instructions Of the Navy de-
partment was made standard
some six months ago." He as
serted that the, letters wv"
(for white) and IN" (for Me-
gro") are inconspicuous and
cannot be construed to be dis
criminatory.
Bard claimed. Letters to
designate the race of the indi-
viduals concerned are n o t
merely restricted to the white
and colored races but many
others"
The N. A. A. C. P. replied on
Friday, October 81. THE ques-
ton is not" it said, whether
the designation is 'discrimina-
tory or not. 1t is humiliating,
insulting, and unnecessary. 1t
offers a gratuitous affront to
colored American citizens by
labelling them Cas though a
man with colored skin need
ed to be labeled in much the
same manner as the labels
used by the Nazis to designate
Jews from so-called Aryans in
Germany"
In reply to the Navy's state
ment that many others" are
labeled according to race, the
N. A. A. C. P. asked, What
others?"
The Association also pointed
out that the Navy has gone
far a1eld in this matter, and
reminded Bard that private in
dustries employing both col
ored and white workers have
not found it necessary to use
any such designation on bad
ges.

More Praise
For Capt. Fuller

FIT. BENNING, Ga.-Colonel
Frank Lockhead, Commanding
Officer, Reception Center, has
just received a personal letter
from Colonel William R. Ar
mold, Chief of Chaplains, Wash
ington, D.. c., commencing him
and his Chaplain for the fine
work that the Reception Center
is doing for religion and the
morale Of the soldiers. Chap
lain Fuller also received a per-
sonal letter from the Office of
the Chief of Chaplains telling
him of commentator. remarks
made by his commanding off,
Ger on monthly reports recent
ly sent in to Washington. The
letter said: THE Chief of
Chaplains is happy to inform
you that in the Endorsement 10
your recnt report your Com
manding officer, 1t. Colonel
Frank Lockhead, has seen fit to
make the following commenda-
tory remarks: THE work of
the Chaplain has been Efficient
ly conducted in this command.
AS usual, stress has been
placed upon music and atten-
dance at church services am
ong the personnel. As a result
considerable interest, not only
in the Reception Center but
throughout the post, has been
created by the work Of the
Center" The ersonal letter to
the Chaplain further states:
This evidence of apprecia-
tion should be an inspirati"
to you for even greater zes.-
BUSINESS in the future. This evi-
dence of appreciation should
also open to you additional
doors of activities and make
possible the rendering Of even
more meritorious service than
has been possible in the past.
With best wishes for your con-
tinued success"
These letters of praise are
unsolicited on the part of the
Chaplain at Reception Center
and came as a surprise, for he
has only been trying to do the
type of work that any aggres-
sive Chaplain should do rather
than think of the time he ex-
poets to spend in the Army. He
would rather make a Real
Good Chaplain For One Year"
than to make a Bad Chaplain
For Thirty Years. Every Chap
lain in the Army has q duty
devolying upon him to do the
best job for the uplift of the
morale of the soldiers that he
is capable of doing rather than
bother about the paycheck
which comes at the end Of each
month.

MAYOR TOBIN WINS BYQ514
CURLEY VOTE SURPRISES
LATTER ASKS FOR RECOUNT
BY MONROE MASON

Fighting with his back TO the
wall, as many believed, former
mayor James James M. Curley
polled a surprising vote, which
proves that he is still on out
standing political leoder.
In last Tuesdays election he
added $4,000 votes to the 10000
which he received in 1897, while
Tobin polled 21,0OO over his
vote of 10000 in 1887 when he
detected Curley by $4,000.
Curley carried 10 of the %
wards. Back Bay Republican
strongholds, 5 precincts, gave
Curley a smashing plurality
over Tobin. Wards 10, IA, 16,
II, 18, 10, 20, 81, % proved to
be Tobin towers of voting
strength. In ward IL Curley
ran neck and neck with Tobin.
the latter winning by a narrow
margin.
Wards 1, 2, 8, Sc, 7, 8, 9, II,
13, Is gave Curley solid support.
In many precincts his vote waa
amazing, far above forecasts Of
keen political observers.
Tobin's plurality over Curley
was 9514. The latter has de-
mande a recount.
Ward 9 returns for City
Council brought keen disap-
pointment to supporters Of
David D. Kenney. Daniel F.
Sullivan, the present incum-
bent, led Kenney by vote Of
2 to /. his total being 4987. a
staggering plurality Of 1926 over
Kenney. Sullivan received
several hundred more votes
than the other five candidates
running against him. His large
vote demonstrates that many
sl voters did not vote Tor
Kenney and failed to cast bal
lots. The candidacy Of Sim
con Roberts did not affect the
situation at all, and the wild
rumors Of why he entered the
contest were not justified ac-
cording to the results.
Joseph Lee and Malcolm
Nichols were negligible con-
tenders. Tobin's or Curley's
tabuIations in any of the wards
equalled the city-wide 6581
vote Of Nichols. This seems
unbelievable, but is true.
Lees spectacular campaign
appeared to flop at the 18th
hour when the voters learned
that he failed to stage stu
pendouS Victory rally' Sum
day before election. Thousands
of voters were on the fence
waiting for a last minute "Joe

large arenas against Tobin and
Curley. Had Mr.. Lee played
this expected campaign card,
James M. Curley would have
been the next mayor of Bos-
ton. Lees total was 1910;
Curley's 116,4S8; Tobin's 126,0O2.
Ward 8. largest colored sec
ton in New England, remained
loyal to former Mayor Curley,
rolling up an unprecedented
vote of 5547 for Curley against
1929 for Tobin.

Local Merchant Will Spend Hundreds
OfDollars In This Community
BY Joe Station

Eugene Moszee, the young man
from Texas six years ago, with a
dream of owning and operating an
up to the minute service station
of his own, employing members
of his race, and a station which his
race could justly be proud of, has
done just that.
Moszee contacted the Gilmore
Gas and Oil Co. and put up such
a convincing argument that the
local managers Immediately sens
ed an opportunity to back a pro-
gressive and determined youngster
who couldn't fail, and who would
make their products sell in the
community of his choosing.
To make a long story short,
Moszee in few years built a
business that his competitors en-
wy. He travelled all over the Uni
ted Staes, Canada and Mexico last
year in his new car, purchased
with his savings from six years
hard work. Yet, never once did
he find the idea he has in mind,
in practice. Truly he found Ne
groes his age owning and operat-
ng various businesses, hiring men,
bers of their race. But none were
giving beyond those of his choice
and those in which he was per-
sonally interested.
Back to Maszee's original idea:
"Gene" as he is affectionately call
ed by the hundreds who know him,
plans to give one-third of his
profits from gasoline to the four
Negro churches in our locale. Be-
yond doubt this will spread hun
dreds of dollars in our locale.
This is by far the greatest plan
ever conceived in the history of
the great Northwest to help the
churches and people.

church, First A. M e. church,
Grace Presbyterian and A. M. e.

Vice Ring Charged

Traffic Vice Ring

Actual experience in city gov

liam Devin said this week in
speeches in his mayoralty cam
paign.
Judge Devin, offering program
of adjustment of class distinc-
tons and a fair deal to all Seat
ties citizens, took up some of the
important issues facing the pub
lie.
There are many problems fac
ing the city today, and there are
none more important than the
traffic and police problems and
the need for rehabilitation of hui
man derelicts," Judge Devin said.
my experience as judge of the
traffic court for two years makes
me better qualified than my OPP
ponent to handle these problems.
have lived traffic problems the
past two years. In the first year
1 served on the police court bench
thirteen lives were saved from the
terrific traffic death toll of the
previous year. Accidents were re-
duced, with the result that auto
mobile insurance rates were cut
25 per cent"
Judge Devin said the Police De-
partment, working under the eff
ficient leadership he will provide
in the new police chief, will work
to prevent vice and racketeering
from flourishing here. He said he
has learned in his association with
police officers that the majority
want to do an efficient job if given
a chance.
The talk about Judge Devin
closing the city, stopping punch
boards and gambling is all propa-
, ganda.
What I can do is to keep public
officials and employees from TAX
ing money for aiding vice and
gambling rings.
