Virginia County May
Provide School Busses

Richmond, Waiter colored
parent and taxpayer of Green
vile county, Virginia, had filed suit
against the board of education
seeking to compel it to provide
bus transportation for Negro pu-
pills, the attorney for the school
board made overtures to settle the
matter out of court, and to con-
slider a proposition for the provid
ing of bus transportation.
Oliver w. Hill, an N. A. A. C. P.
attorney of Richmond, Va, act
ing for the parents, was APP
preached by Ennis Ennes, an at
attorney and chairman of the
Greensville county school board.
Mr.. Ennes asked for a conference
and indicated over the telephone
that the school board desires to
settle the case without going to
court.
Terms of the stipulated agree
ment, as a basis of negotiation, are
being drawn up by Mr.. Hill and
other N. A. A. c. P. lawyers.

No Neg. On ll-Man
Mediation Board

New York, N. Y. Failure of
President Roosevelt to include a
Negro as a member of the media
ton board of eleven persons oc-
casioned "keen disappointment" to
the N. A. A. C. p, according to a
letter from Walter White, N. A. A.
c. P. secretary, to Mr.. Roosevelt,
March 20.
The N. A. A. C. P. letter also
scored the naming by the Presid-
ent of George M Harrison, grand
president of the Brotherhood of
Railway and Steamship Clerks, be-
cause Harrison's union bars per-
sons from membership on account
of race, creed and color"
Harrison, who has been men
toned for several federal posts,
has been criticized severely for the
anti-Negro attitude of his union.
The test of the NAACP letter fol-
lows:
ut is with keen disappointment
that we note you not only failed
to include a qualified Negro as a
member of the Mediation Board of
eleven appointed by you yester-
day but that you appointed man
who heads a labor union whose
constitution bars persons from
membership on account of race,
creed and color. We refer to Geo.
M. Harrison, Grand President of
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks.
Thirteen million Negroes and
their friends view this with dis
may. They wonder what hope
there is for the Negro in the indus
trial phases of the national defense
program, for which the Negro is
taxed along with his white fellow
citizens, when you as President
select as a member of the Media
ton Board a man who leads a
union which draws lines of color
and creed. One wonders if there
is any hope of industrial democ-
racy and justice for the Negro and
other minorities in such an ar
rangement."

Hearings Apr. | On Defense Jim Grow;
Mrs. Roosevelt Among First Witnesses

senate rules, all measures which
provide for expenditure from the
senate contingent fund must be
passed on by the Audit and Con-
troll committee.
Walter White, N. A. A. c. P. Sc
cretary, who has been most of the
week working on the above steps,
again urged that authentic infor-
nation regarding discrimination,
particularly in industrial plants
filling contracts from the federal
government for the defense pro-
gram, be sent to the national Of
flee of the NAACP, SO Fifth Ave-
nue., New York.
I'VE are convinced that if the
American people only knew what
is going on in the national defense
program and fully understood how
vicious is the discrimination the
Negro is encountering, there would
be countrywide in dig Ia t / o n
against those who are holding up
defense because of their anti-Ne-
gro prejudices. The arrogance of
such persons as J. H. Kindelberger
president and general manager of
North American Aviation, Inc, in
stating that under no circum-
stances will Negroes be employed
as aircraft workers or mechanics
in the North American Aviation
Company's plants is insufferable.
When Negroes pay income, defense
or other taxes, they are paying
Mr.. Kindelberger's salary and
building up profits for North Anne
rican Aviation Company's stock
holders. Negro Americans and de-
cent white Americans have got
to let Mr.. Kindelberger and his
kind know that they cannot get
away with such brazen tactics.
The NAACP is suggesting to the
Senate committee that Mr.. Kindel-
berger be invited, or if he does
not accept the invitation, that he
be subpienaed to appear before it
to explain his aping of Hitler in
telling taxpayers and citizens that
they cannot be employed because
of race and color"

Halle Selassiie
Nearing Home

Egypt, March 27-The British
announced tonight they had storm
ed and occupied Cheren, East At
rica's major stronghold of italian
resistance, and captured Harar, Sc
cond city of Ethiopia.
Thus crumbled what may prove
to be the last real ramparts of
Italy's African empire.
Cheren, mountain key to Err
treas capital, Asmara, forty-five
miles to the southeast, had been
defended for seven weeks by 3d.
900 crack Fascist troops under the
command of the Duke of Aosta.
It fell to British and Indian
troops after two weeks of the hea-
West fighting, on tortuous terrain
and in treacherous climate.
KEEP Point
Harar, ancient walled Moham-
medan city OF some 4o,UoU popula-
ton, lies athwart the British drive
toward the Jibuti-Addis Ababa
Railway which they seek to cut at
Daredawa, thirty-five miles dis
tant.
Cheren which military observ-
ers say is one of the world'se fin
est natural fortresses, began to
crack up when the British cross
ed the valley in surprise attack
on an italian hillside entrenchment
and captured brigade headquar-
tiers. Fascist officers were cut off
before they could retreat.
