CEHRIC'S POST
 GOES TO NEGRO
Samuel J. Battle, Formerly of Hartford, Named By
 Mayor LaGuardia

Hartford, Aug. 25-A Negro police lieutenant who in his youth worked as a painters apprentice in Hart ford, then in mill in East Glas- tonbury and later as a waiter in the Yale University dining hall has been appointed by Mayor F. H. LaGuar- dia to the Municipal Parole Colnmis- sion of New York City, succeeding the late Lou Gehrig, who early in his baseball career was a star on the Hartford team.
 He is Samuel J. Battle, who was the first of his race to become a member of the New York City Po- lice Department. Lieutenant Bat tie will give up his $4000 police post for his new job at $6000 year.
 When a young Negro in trouble with the law comes before Battle, he will be greeted by a man with a broad grin who knows all the eccentricities of youths nature, and understands the chip he may carry on his shoulder. The boy will not be analysed as a sociological problem, says Battle, but will be guided by him on humanitarian lines.
 These boys must learn that the Negro has not physical weapons to fight with and they must under stand that they will become ac- ceptable in all society when they become indispensable" was the way Lieutenant Battle expresses his simple philosophy about the fight that his race must make against prejudice in the United States.
 The Negro needs great examples of members of his, race who are ac- cepted leaders. Lieutenant Battle wishes there was galaxy of Ne groes like Booker T. Washington Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, Bill Rob- inson and Representative Arthur Mitchell of Illinois, to parade be- fore the young Negros' eyes to give them hope and inspiration.
