Resolution Would
Abolish Superior
Court Of Pinal

Pinal, Yuma and Pima counties
would be grouped into one judi
cial district with all legal business
for transacted at a point to be de-
termined, presumably, by the
voters if Senator Dan Angus con-
current resolution were finally to
be enacted into law. The resolu-
ton, introduced into the state
senate hopper Tuesday, calls for
an amendment to the state con-
stitution to form six judicial dis
tricts.
Pinal county lawyers have found
immediate objection to the plan.
They theorize that Tucson, with a
preponderance of population, would
become the seat of the new judi
ciary and thereby necessitate
Yuma county litigants to travel
nearly 800 miles to court while
some sections of Pinal county
would be at least one half that
distance from the courtroom.
Under terms of the prbposal
Maricopa county would be the
only county to remain as it is and
would comprise the first district
Pinal, Yuma and Pima counties
the second district; third, Cochise
and Santa Cruz; fourth, ella,
Graham and Creenlee; fifth, Apa-
che. Navajo and Coconino and
sixth, Mohave and Yavapai
Local attorneys commented that
Senator Angus had taken care of
his home county. Cochise, by com
hlning it with Santa Cruz, Ari-
zona's smallest county.

Members of the civic planning
committee were authorized to sug-
gest a plan whereby the speeding
up of construction on a new fire

they stopped giving. Four months
thereafter, the Good Parson died Of
malnutrition at the County Poor farm.
We do not claim such a fate will
befall Mr.. Slavik, but if all the married
women who vote, decided to vote a.
gainst Mr.. Slavik, his chances of reel
ection will be quite "slim".
Seriously, what legal right has a
government official to deny employ
ment to a citizen, because Of sex Or
marital status. We can think Of none.
We insist the test should be Compel
ency. Married women will educate Mr.
Slavik on this subject in the school of
politics.

AUTOMOBILE WORK
Frs UNION C
DEFENSE PROGRAM
EXPANSION TO
INCLUDE COLORED

Cleveland, Nov. 5 CAMP Meet
ing last week with representatives
of OPM., the, United Automobile
Workers of America, AFL, urged
the expansion of national defense
program in a training program to
include both colored and white wor
kers who were laid off or who may
be laid off because of defense pri-
critics. Headed by Elmer Davis,
director of the UAWA and Frank
Evans, international executive
board members, the plea of the I'M
ion was registered in an effort to
afford all workers an opportunity
to participate in the training pro
gram so that they would be quail
fled to enter defense plants upon
curtailment of civilian work.
Efforts of certain organizations
urging the establishment of separ
ate training schools for Negroes
only were frowned upon by the
union. Holding that this action
would only tend to create a class
distinction among workers and les
sen opportunities because Of lin
tied facilities of the training pro-
gram, the union asked that there be
only one program for all workers
interested in training for defense
work.

MARRIED WOMEN AND WORK

Slavik decided that the place Of MARI
led women was "in the home, and that
was where he sent the married women
workers.
That very great issue which we
thought was settled with the adoption
Of the 10Th Amendment to the United
States Constitution, was not raised
when Mr.. Slavik was a candidate for
office last year; POSSIBLY 1T WILL
BE WHEN HE SEEKS REFLECT
ION. Yes, it will be-.
And this recalls the story of the
preacher who thought that this was a
mans world. One Sunday morning he
preached a SPECIAL sermon to his

flock which had scores of married wo-
men in it who, in order to help provide
for the numerous children, worked
OUT. The parson raved and ranted a.
bout married women working, and de-
clared: The Good Book says woman's
place is in the home', that women who
work cannot be good wives and moth
erS".
After the morning services were
over, the working women, and that
group a the church, decided that if
the good parson was opposed to MAR
ried Women" working, married women
would stop giving to maintain him in
the church. And true to their pledge.

NAACP. FILES BRIEF in
TEXAS "WHITE PRIMARY"
CASE

Forth Worth, Texas-An early
decision can be expected in the
Texas "white primary" case for
which brief will be filed in the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
November 13, the NAACP ann
ounced this week. If a favorable
decision is reached it will wipe out
one big obstacle in the way Of full
franchsement for Negro Americ-
ans, the NAACP. declared.
The case has been in court since
last January when Sidney Hasgett
Of Houston, a qualified voter, fill
ed a complaint on charges that lie
was denied the right to vote in the
primary election Of the Democratic
party August Is, 1910. Hasgett
is suing for $4,000 damages and a
judgement declaring that he had
the right to vote. Defendants are
election judges Werner and Black
burn of the 10Th precinct.
The case was first heard in Apr
il before the u S. District Court,
southern district Of Texas, when
both parties agreed that the cleo.
ton judges did deny Hasgett thet
privilege Of voting because Of his
color. No decision was reached at
this time, but Judge T. M. Ken
nerly asked for the briefs and tran
scripts Of the testimony to study
before making a decision.
The new action is an appeal bas-
ed on the decision which was ret
urned against Hasgett.
Thurgood Marshall, special
counsel for the NAACP and w. j.
Durham Of Sherman, Texas, are
attorneys for Hasgett. They state
that the question involved is whe-
ther or not the Democratic prim-
airy in Texas, is estate action"
within the meaning Of the Fiji
teenth Amendment to the Constitu
ton. Since the Democratic party
is in control in the state, victory Of
a candidate in it's primary is tan
tamount to election.
The defendants maintain that
the primory is a private or "clos-
ed" Institution and not a state ac-
ton.

OFFICERS ALREADY ON
DUTY

Six or eight medical officers arr
already on duty and the hospital
unit with half a dozen buildings is
rapidly nearing completion. 1t
seems impossible that just a few
weeks ago this great expanse was
unused except for a couple of scat
tered farms and a graveyard on
the hill which is in process of be-
ing, removed. An odd sidelight is
that the men who exhume the bod
es are paid Sc per day, must und-
ergo sterilization every night and
remain in the hospital for obser-
walton for six months after the job
is finished.
A foreman rushed up. He has a
section ready for inspection by the
army engineers. A dozen other
people come rapidly to ask instruc-
tons or impart information as Nc
Kissack surveys the field from the
hill. Major J. A. Jennings, white
commander of the goth, passes.
The hammers ring and saws buzz.
A fleet Of Is or 20 great motored
scrapers are smoothing the field
while other greater machines teal
sovagely into a hill preparing to
level it off. Over here a mechanic
al ditch digger burrows swiftly a.
long making way for the 40 or SO
miles Of pipe and water mains
which are being installed.
McKissack, never ruffled, never
worried, looks on. "This is the
price we must pay for civilization"
he unused. "Water Is one Of the
great forces in modern living, he
continued. oddly enough, he
finished as he glanced around at
the water works, "We Negroes are
apt to build churches first when
perhaps we ought to build wa
ter work.. 1t was an interesting
commentary coming from this man
who is both a Christian and a
Church builder.
One thing is certain. The air.
field for the 99th Pursuit squadron
is gigantic and great beyond the
imagination of one who has not
seen it. In those surroundings an
under the training which the air
corps is giving, will arise one feels
certain, a group Of daring, able fly
ers Of which all America may be
proud.

With apologies to John Slavik,
County Clerk, we wish to make a few
remarks on the subject of MARRIED
WOMEN AND WORK..
Now, Mr. Slavik is Clerk Of Doug
las County. He was elected last year.
Through the good offices of State Sen
ator John Adams, Jr., his term was ex-
tended two years. When he took
charge of the office there were sever
al women employees whose husbands
also worked. Thus it had been for
many years, in that office, in this coun-
ty and state and in this nation. Mr..
