OMAHA, Neb.-A bill sponsored
by the lone Negro member in the
Nebraska unicarmeral legislature,
John Adams, Jr., provides effect
i've means of preventing discrim-
ination against Negro defense wor-

the purpose of collective bargain

eliminates against, or excludes
from its membership any person
because of his race or color.
The bill further provides that it
shall be unlawful for any person or
firm engaged in supplying defense
orders to refuse persons employ
ment who are found qualified, be-
cause of their color.
Twenty-one local organizations
combined their support to bring
about the passage of the bill, and

Sirless Groves
Service Groceries
Hold Open House
BY Staff Reporter

Sirless Groves was happy last
Sunday. He witnessed a parade of
customers and friends from his
store No. 1, 183O-24th Avenue, to
store No. 2, 2426 East Madison
where they were served cake,
punch coffee, etc.
Two years ago, Groves opened
store No. to the public with goods
and fixtures valued at $50. Sun
day, two years later, his friends
and customers visited two stores
and saw goods and fixtures val
ued at $500. He began business
with one clerk. Sunday, four Am
erican Beauties served tn epublic.
The goods displayed were all Al
quality and priced as lowas any
neighborhood store.
Score:
Two years ago, East Madison
boosted of no Negro grocery store.
One year ago, Groves Service store
No. 1 was in full operation with
two full time clerks. Today,
Groves has added store No. 2 and
boasts of four clerks working full
time and a relief clerk.
Strangely enough, Groves GUS
toners are all classes in his imme-
date neighborhood. Paradoxical:
Two beautiful, well stocked stores,
the finest kind of refrigeration,
fine fruits and vegetables, the
price of goods as low as that of
any other store, four well trained
race girl clerks to serve you and
half of the neighborhood has new
err seen the inside of either store.
A miracle is being performed right
in your midst and few are able to
appreciate it. Let's go over in
Macedonia and help.
The only race girls holding cler-
ical positions in Seattle industry
are employed by Groves Service
Grocery stores No. 1 and No. 2.
Will they survive or perish? East
Madison District: These are your
girls. We would like to know what
you are going to do about it.

Navy Needs Men; Use
Negroes Says NAACP

New York-Following the an
nouncement that the Navy plans
to use draftees to build up the
personnel for a two-ocean Nevy,
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
received a strongly worded state
ment from the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People pointing out the fall
lacy in the Nays policy of re-
jecting the services of colored men
except in the messmen's division
in the face of a shortage of re-
cruits.
The letter, signed by Roy Will
kins, assistant secretary of NAA-
CP, stated:
1--WE are aware of the stock
answers which Navy officials have
given to the protest against re-
strictions imposed upon Negroes
in the Navy; but we believe the
policy enunciated and practiced is
harmful to citizenship morale, to
the Navy and to the whole concept
we say we are mobilizing to de-
fend. The Navy could take long
step in wiping out the bitterness
and establishment in one-tenth
of the nations population by open
ing up enlistment in all branches
of the Navy to colored men,"

JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By e. I. r.
Jim Crow In Flight

On Monday, April 2Sth, by a
unanimous decision of the United
States Supreme Court, Negro cit
liens travelling from one state to
another were declared to be en-
titled to railroad accommodations
equal to those furnished white per-
sons. It would seem that such
a right need never be in question
in a democracy, but for many
years, Negro citizens have had to
endure unspeakable humiliation
and ostracism whenever they at
tempted to travel from the North
to the South or from the South
northward.
The case-which the Court acted
upon-was initiated by Represen-
tative Arthurs w. Mitchell of Him
ole, who was elected from a Pull
man Car for which he had paid
first class fare. The decision is
of tremendous Importance for it
settles for all time, or should, the
question of equal accommodations
for Negroes in interstate travel.
Texans should be able to visit
their homes or Alabamans go to
Birmingham without intimidation
or be compelled to ride in a Jim
Grow car after paying first class
fares.

Walter White Urges Negroes
To Support ~Americanism''

Reversing the attitude demon
strated by some local Negro lead
ers and NAACP executives, Walter
White, executive secretary of the
NAACP, urged Negroes to Sup
port the fight for freedom" being
waged by Britain with Americas
help, because he said if the Axis
powers were triumphant, the world
of free men everywhere would be
destroyed.
Speaking to the graduates of
Fisk University, the veteran NAA
CP executive expressed hopeful
possibilities for absolute Ameri-
canism for Negroes. He said that
the Negro did not enjoy the full
benefits of Democracy, but the
United States offered him more
than he could hope for in other
countries and that he is steadily
gaining momentum in his fight for
absolute American citizenship
fights.
He emphasized, I'VE are Ameri-
cans first, and then Negroes" but
as long as we principalize the NE
gro" philosophy, so long will we
be segregated, Disseminated ag-
ainst and prosecuted.
Some Negro leaders in Seattle
have stemped themselves as me
groes" first and Americans last.
This was evidenced during the re-
cent attempt to have Negroes OBJ
serve st AM AN AMERICAN
DAY." Some of the leaders ex-
pressed, 1--WE are not Americans,
we are Negroes The observance
was discorded and rebuked.
Walter White, who has been one
of the most consistent fighters for
the Negro cause, advised that all
trends away from full support of
the American defense program,
should be abandoned, he urged that
Negroes line up for support of the
American program and that "This
would do more to bring about his
objective than any other type of
procedure"

D. c. Jurors Quizzed
On NAACP Membership

Washington, D. C.-When jurors
were examined for the trial of
John E. Eklund white, accused
of "sniper killings" here, they had
shot at them, among other ques-
tons, "Are you a member of the
Association for the Advancement
of the Colored Racer" Reference
was to the NAACP. Eklund is on
trial for first degree murder, and
is accused of having shot Hyland
McClain, a colored youth, in the
