Tune In Negro Hour

For several years the National
Youth Administration has worked
in close cooperation with all social
agencies in an effort to do effec-
tive work with Negro youth all
over America in the field of voca-
tional training and otherwise. This
is the moment in the nation and
the world when the morale of both
youth and adults needs to be in
spired and stirred. There is no me-
thod that can be used with more
safety and effectiveness than mu-
sic-soulful, stirring music.
Mrs. Nell Hunter has entire
charge of the musical and will fea-

Jimmie Lunceford
Senator Aud, May Il

For the benefit of those lucky
people who will be on hand to
hear Jimmie Lunceford's band
which will be at the Senator Ball
room on the night of May 21, it
is refreshing to know that Lunce-
ford is college man of breeding
and culture who was trained for
many vocations aside from music.
He wasn't just another Negro
musician who was born and grew.
He is a born musician who loves
and appreciates all good music.
His band is made up of men of
the same caliber and understand
ing.
Jimmie's love for music was so
great that he gave up a chance as
a professor at the Manass High
School, Memphis, Tenn, in 1927.
Jimmie Lunceford Plays for you

N. W. Enterprise
Submits Man For
Chief OF Police
By 3. I. r.

A few months ago, when the
N or Invest Enterprise rallied
against official stupidity in the
police department, Negroes grew
alarmed. They besieged our office
pleading with us to desist. A plea
to change the law of gravity would
have been equally effective. A man
will never surrender a principle;
who does is none.
Comes now the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer and boldly sabotages
the police departments tranquilli-
ty. The Seattle Times stung to
action by an aroused public moves
its big bertha into position and
fires a warning shot directly at
the city council the court of last
resort and the police department
directly in line of fire.

Japanese Hotels Refus.
Ing To Keep Negroes

1t has been called to the atten-
ton of the Seattle Branch of the
NAACP that single Negroes re-
ceiving vouchers from the King
County Welfare Department have
been systematically refused acco-
modations in Japanese Hotels and
apartments.
According to the officials of the
Welfare Department, last summer
it was easy to place Negro men
in these cheap hotels, because of
the vacancies then existing; but
now with the shortage of rooms
due to the influx of Defense Work
ers, the hotels belonging to the
Japanese Hotel and Apartment
House Association which number
about 200 are Systematically shut
ting their doors to our people.
A case in point is that of the
Milwaukee Hotel which placed its
applications for roomers with the
Welfare Department and later re-
fused to admit a Negro although
there was and is today plenty of
available vacancies.
Mr.. Bert Kelso advised the Pre-
sident of the Seattle Branch of the
NAACP, that one, Albert Green,
cripple was refused admittance
in the New York Hotel and in the
investigation of their organization
disclosed that certain hotels were
filled when Negroes asked for adj
mittance but rooms were available
for other groups.
1t has also been called to our at
tention that by the first of next
month those Negroes who have
been able to secure rooms through
the Welfare Department will be
ousted.
The Welfare Department ex-
planned that there are still some
Independent Hotel and Apartment
House owners numbering about A
or hotels that will take Negroes.
He explained that these are cheap
hotels in which white men would
not stay and in some instances
have been condemned by the City
but have not been torn down yet.
The Seattle Branch of the N. A.
A. G. P. is determined that this
condition shall not exist and is con-
tacting the officials of the hotel
and Apartment Association for the
Qualification of this matter.
This act is a fragrant breach of
the State Constitution. 1t would
seem that the Japanese a minority
group the same as the Negro
would think twice before helping
foster a condition which will event
ually be bar to them in the full
enjoyment of all the rights of an
American citizen.

os> .. Senator's
Support S.R.75

Washington, d. CA pledge of
the support of the Republican min
ority in the Senate for Senate Re-
solution rs was given May 2 by
Senator Charles L. McNary, min
ority leader.
S. r. rs provides for complete
nv cation of discrimination
against Negroes in all phases of
the national defense program.
Sen. McNary told Walter White
NAACP secretary, that the utmost
effort will be given by the Repub-
lican members to get S. R. rs out
of committee.
1.-THE proposal to put off consi-
deration of this resolution" said
Sen. McNary, until late summer
or early fall is ridiculous. We must
strive for full democracy here if
we are to carry on an effort to
preserve democracy in the world"
Mr.. White urged all interested
persons to send friendly but firm
kilograms to Senator Ebert d.
Thomas, chairman of the Commit
tee on Education and Labor, urg-
ing the committee to report the
resolution favorably, and not to
combine it with any other investi-
cation.
All organized groups, such as
clubs, churches, labor unions, lodg-
es and others are urged by the
NAACP to pass resolutions en-
orsing S. R. rs and send them to
the senators from their states ask
ing that they be inserted in the
Congressional Record.

City Council, What Are
You Up To?

For the information of the City
Council:
Seattle citizens have been dis
cussing the police chief issue more
than you comcilmen may have
realized. Seattle citizens may not
have definite ideas as to whom
they want for the chiefs job; but
they have very definite ideas as to
whom they don't want.
And some of the men those
Seattle citizens don't want in the
police chiefs uniform are the men
whose names are being tossed
around in this plotting that has
been going on backstage.
Seattle Citizens already know
quite bit of that backstage plot
ting. The Times would be remiss
In its duty to the city If 1t did not
tell more of that plotting-if and
when the time comes.
The buck apparently has been
passed to the Council-it would be
well for that body to give careful
thought to what becomes of that
buck!
Above all, Seattle doesn't want a
police chief who fits too comfort
ably in any PERSONS pocket.
Seattle Times
Never in all its history has
more caustic defiance come out of
the Seattle Times. We prefer to
let the Seattle Times sleep on. In
the same breath we advise those
members of our race who took is
sue with the Northwest Enterprise
for its self-defense not to ask the
Post-Intelligencer or Seattle Times
to cease firing to save your pets
from the wrath of the people.
Characteristic of Chief of Police
VIM. H. Sears, he welcomes a pub
lie hearing. He feels innocent of
any personal wrong. We share
that feeling with him. However,
sin of omission is often greater
than a sin of commission. Public
opposition to Mr.. Sears is his sin
or sins omission.
Why should the name of Mr..
VIM. B. Severyns meet with the
same opposition as the chief of po-
lice? Call it what you may, it is
official stupidity. Long before cleo
ton, it was common knowledge
that Mr.. Millikin would reappoint
Mr.. Sears chief of police. If he
failed confirmation, Mr.. Severyns
would be next choice. In either case
vice lord would rule Seattle. True
or false, the people demand a new
deal and in all probability, the peo-
pie will eventually get what they
want.
Unfortunately this same official
stupidity will serve to make men,
bers of the city council depart
ment" shy. There are many fine
men in the police department ca
pable of meeting the requirements
to fit the specifications of chief
of police. To escape the odium
of naming one the council may
elect to step out.
Yes, we too have an interest.
Any chief of police that will fair
ly and impartially administer the
law to all citizens alike, will per-
fectly fit our specifications.
The Northwest Enterprise res
pectfully submits this man for
the councils consideration and
trusts immediate confirmation.
