Telephone Solicitations
For Thanksgiving
Is q Rocket

Minneapolis business firms have
been plagued for several days with
phone calls from a man who claims
to represent "the colored paper"
and who is raising money Che
says) to purchase Thanksgiving
baskets for unfortunate Negro
families.
The only Negro paper being pub
lished in Minneapolis is the Mime
apolis Spokesman. The Spokesman
IS NOT SOLICITING FUNDS for
baskets. Creditable social service
agencies see to it now that no
family is without Thanksgiving
baskets.
Evidently someone is trying to
make some money out of the sup
posed need of Minneapolis families.
It sounds like racket.

Walter White
Says America
Must Clean House

Hampton Institute, Va.-Walter
White, secretary Of the NAACP,
in the closing address of that or
ganization's third annual co-racial
Youth Conference at Hampton In
stitute last Sunday, told the 1875
youth delegates that America must
edo some housekeeping here at
home for internal unity and
to demonstrate to Latin America
and the world that Talmadge and
the Ku Klux Klan are not repre-
sentative of the racial attitude of
the majority of the American peo-
ple."
Coming from Is colleges and 80
organizations from 20 states, the
delegates adopted a set Of resolu-
tons at the close of the session
that showed an intense awareness
of the many social problems that
confront both white and Negro col
lege students today. -.
The meeting brought a score of
nationally prominent educators,
government officials and outstand-
ing men and women from many
walks of life to the Hampton cam
pus.
Resolutions touched upon most
of the social difficulties which offer
threats to a democratic way of liv-
ing: civil liberties, poll tax, the
white primary, cooperation with
other minorities, anti-Semitism,
problems of the sharecropper, la
Dor education, labor unions, Negro
youth and education, Negro youth
and defense, Negro youth as con-
sumner, postwar reconstruction, vo-
cational guidance and training.
In drawing up their statement
of purpose of the report, members
of the conference called attention
to the irony of their position as
American citizens to be compelled
to fight for the right to fight for
democracy" The purpose of the
report, essentially, was to aid in
the development of a program of
action which will close the gap be-
tween the existing theories and the
actual practices of democracy.
This purpose, white and Negro
youth leaders pointed out, was ne
cessitated because failure to ex-
tend democratic rights and privi-
leges to any group in the commu-
nifty, either through Indifference or
deliberate intent, opens the way to
the destruction of democratic
rights for ALL"
In. compiling, their resolutions,
members of the conference were
aware of the new environment
forced upon them by the present
war crisis. They stated: 'We rec
ognize that the instrument of war
is no final solution to the pressing
problems facing the world today,
and plege ourselves to work for
the building of a democratic and
secure world society in which war
as an institution has no place. To
realize this objective, we place
ourselves in the vanguard for the
winning of social and economic
justice, not only for Negroes, but
for all underprivi1eged groups and
minorities."

Cathedral Heights
Association Asks Vote
And Representation
Two Additional Judges
For Police Court Also
Urged by Citizens

The Cathedral Heights-Cleveland
Park Citizens Association last night
urged local suffrage and national
representation be granted the Dis
trict. Miss Ida Hoyt Chamberlain's
resolution, which commended the
efforts of Senator Capper and Rep
resentative Summers on these OBJ
jectives, went beyond the associa-
tions action of last year, when only
self government was asked.
Mrs. Clara Wright Smith, second
vice president of the D. C. Suffrage
Association, outlined various forms
of government in the city since its
founding. Mrs. Smith expressed the
belief that citizens should endeayor
to obtain local suffrage first.
The association urged appoint
ment of two additional judges to
serve in Police Court, after Culver B.
Chamberlain, president of the group,
voiced opposition to merging police
Court with Municipal Court. "Un-
alterable" opposition was voted to
a further increase in the present
real estate tax, on motion of Capt
M. G. Cook The group also op-
posed daylight saving time for the
District.
Mrs. Allen L. Worries, who ad-
dressed the meeting, urged support
of the community in the present

sc. u. Law Students
Win Competition by
Union Argument
Associate Justice Stone
One of Judges for
Appellate Court 'Cose'

Relying on a technical interpre-
tation of the Norris-La Guardia
and Wagner Labor Acts, three Cath
olic University law students. repre-
senting counsel for labor in a union
employer dispute, last night were
named winners of the Appellate
Court competition of the law school.
They were John j. Daunt, jr.;
George S. Elmore, and Vincent h.
Fitzpatrick. Their names will be
inscribed on a plaque in the law
school and they will be awarded
honorary keys by Prof. Samuel Wilt
iston of Harvard Law School May 7.
Justice Stone a Judge.
Judges were Associate Supreme
Court Justice Harlan F. Stone, AS
sociate Justice of the Court of APP
peals Justin Miller and District
Court Justice Oscar R. Luhring.
Winners were judged on the basis
OF their briefs and oral presentation.
The case involved an injunction
sought by an employer against
picketing by one union because he
would not compel his employees to
renounce the union to which they
belonged to join the picketing union.
Counsel for the employer contended
that under both the Norris-La
Guardia and Wagner acts, the en-
ployer was forbidden to exercise
any influence whatsoever over his
employees in the matter of union
and therefore the picketing union
was trying to compel the employer
to violate the law.
Cite Injunction Requirements.
The winning counsel for the labor
union contended that under the
language of the Norris-La Guardla
act the purpose of the picketing was
irrelevant; that the injunction could
be issued only when the picketing
was fraudulent or diSorderly. They
added that the court had no right
to jurisdiction under the Wagner
Act in this case because the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board had
not acted in the case officially.
The losing team included John
H. Tanning, John F. x. Gaquin and
James A. Hurley.
Justice Stone indicated the mar
gin of victory was slight and
lauded the brief of the winners.
