time today as he awaits
the call of the United States
Navy to service in the intelligence
division for the duration of the
war.
But the greatest all-around
back in football wasn't marking
time yesterday afternoon as he
played his last game. He was
strictly on active service as he led
the charge of the Detroit Lions
to a 21-3 victory over the Chicago
Cardinals at Briggs Stadium.
The Whizzer made a great exit
from football. 1t was a fine one
for his teammates, too. as they
clinched third place in the West

LIVES UP TO 1T

They had the Whizzer's picture
on the cover of the game pro-
gram. They printed his life story
in a Farewell to Football" and
even had a poem about the Whiz-
ger. And the Whizzer lived up to
all of it.
The former Rhodes scholar
from Colorado u. treated the
17.05l spectators to his longest
run of the year when he made a
leaping catch of a Cardinal pass
in the first quarter and raced
81 yards to score. Halfback John
Martin OF the Cardinals tackled
him on the 23-yard line but he
freed himself with a mighty twist
and made the goal line for the
touchdown that put the Lions ir
front for keeps.

the first quarter, hardly felt in

up the Detroit defense wi h
smashing defensive play. And he
marked up one more scoring
thrust when he passed "a yards
to his right end Bill Fisk for De-
troit's last touchdown of the
game, in the third quarter.
1t must be mentioned, too, that
White also committed a misplay.
He fumbled on the third play of
the game and Marshall Goldberg
recovered the ball for the Cardi-
nails on the Lions 25-yard line.
But the Cardinals didn't score.
This was an afternoon in which
the Lions got most of the breaks
instead of handing touchdowns to
their opponents. Cardinal fumbles
and pass interruptions by the
Lions kept play in Chicago terri

British Commander
In Ma|aya Started
Career as Private I
Gen. PercevuI Cove Up
Job us Clerk When He
Was II to Enter Army

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Gen. Arthur
Ernest Perceval, now in command OF
the British and Empire troops at
Malaga, began his military career as
a private at the outbreak Of the
last World War.
He was 27 when he gave up his
civilian job As city clerk to become
Pvt. Arthur Ernest Perceval. Promo
tions were swift and he WAS still un-
der 80 when he commanded 4 bat
talon in active service.
At the outbreak of World War II,
Gen. Perceval was a brigadier on the
General STAFF at Aldershot. He
secured command Of the troops in
Malaga in April when 1t. Gen. L. v.
Bond returned to take up an Eng
lish appointment. Gen Perceval had
previously served in Malaga as staff
officer from 1886 to 1899
Gen. Percevals reputation as an
imaginative tactician was emphas-
lied last month when he directed
maneuvers based on the supposition
that the Japanese were aerially at
tacking Singapore.
He won the Order of the British
Empire in 1921 for his outstanding
services in Ireland, the truce with
the Sim Feiners being attributable
to his advice. 1t was Winston
Churchill, then war minister, who
called Gen. PerceVal to a conference
In Inverness to report on the situ-
alton in Ireland.
Gen. Perceval has been described
as resembling, IAN ascetic univer-
sity professor" but his active inter-
est in polo, tennis, cricket, hockey
and squash would belle the word
"ascetic"
Born at Aspendon, Hereforshire,
he was educated at Rugby. He
graduated with distinction at the
Army and Navy STAFF Colleges and
the Imperial Defence College.
Gen. Perceval was twice wounded
in the last war and won the Dis
tinguished Service Order, the Mill
tary Cross and Croix de Guerre.

THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY
BULLETIN

Howard University has recently
published a pictorial bulletin illustrat-
ing the scope of the work being done
at that institution as it enters upon its
18th year of racial and national serv-
ice.
Among the more important
things listed r facts showing IS mem
bers of the faculty possess their doc
torates. Compared with the whole
number of men and women in the coun-
try who hold such degrees, there is
nothing remarkable about it, but when
one recalls that fifty years ago, we had
but two or three Negroes who had
doctorates, the fact becomes important
One other fact vas noteworthy 95
per cent of all the Negro lawyers in
the United States are graduates of
Howard University.
The physical equipment under the
presidency Of DR.. Mordercai Johnson,
has grown tremendously. Howard
University is the only university am
ong Negroes in this country. There
are many excellent colleges, but none
meets the requirements Of a ~univers-
ity, save Howard.
1t is not an expensive school to
attend. Tuition is $4,000 per year,
room rent about $1,000 per month and
board in the cafeteria is $500 per
month. For 9 months at the Univers-
ity, the expense for bare necessities
averages, not including clothes, travel
expenses and extras, about $405.O0 per
year. This does not include books and
working equipment. The total requir-
ed for all purposes would not exceed
$4,000 annually.
Negroes should send as many Of
their children as possible to Howard
University. 1t is not only a great seat
of learning, but it is the center Of as
piration to all Negro youth who would
enter upon the pathway of service
which leads to the heights of human en-
deavor.
The Howard University Bulletin
has rendered a splendid service thru
its last pictorial number.

TICKET FOR THE CHARIOT

(from The N. Y. Timeh)

In this year of stress the chanc-
es are that Broadway's movie GO
ers are not likely to e mystery
In SWING. Nor is it likely that
they will care, for that matter.
But tonight, some four miles north
of Times auare, & representative

House, are probably enjoying the
House, are probably enjoying the
seventy minutes of this all-Negro
mystery-musical. And, it is the
especial meter of Jack Goldberg
to keep that gentry's interest I'M
tagging, for it is under the Gold
berg aegis that a vast portion Of
the all-Negro film production has
been nurtured.

ment Of Negro films and screen
talent through a scholarship fund
to be raised by local Negro organ
izations. Working hand IN hand
with professionals should not only
d velop native professional tech
nical talents. of which there are
practically none, but the studio al
so would serve as a direct outlet
for those talents when they mat
ured.
Further explaining the innate
contentment derived from his task
Mr.. Goldberg declared that Negro
actors we're highly amendable to
suggestion. "In fifteen years I've
never needed a contract with any
of them and I've never had a mis-
understanding or loud word with
them. That's my record and that's
history" he added. And, it seems
too, that if he continues to avoid
the dice, watermelon and razor
cliches (which his audiences m
phatically dislike) that inevitable
Sweet Chariot will have to provide
room eventually for an honorary
passenger.

THE WAR, WHAT?

The United States, Great Britain
and Russia are committed to the task
Of Kidding the world Of Nazi tyranny.
How? Certainly not by conferences at
sea, nor by speeches or any other
means than force.
That the war should be won by the
three great powers, we all agree. And
we think they will win it. And after
the wa has been Won by them, how
will they settle the myriad problems
which will follow in the train Of war.
Thus far these powers are comm
tilted to restore national boundaries
changed by aggression, without any Of
the powers seeking territorial gains.
They are agreed, too, on the proposit-
Jon Of Improvement Of the condition Of
all workers SO as to prvide social Sec
urity for all men everywhere.
Our hope is that whatever solu-
ton may be arrived at, it will be inclu-
sive and just for all men of all races
and creeds and colors, and that exploit
alton of men and women will cease,
and that all men will be aided in their
aspiration to reach a higher standard
Of living. If these things come to all
men after the war, no matter what
price has been paid for them in blood
o0J +rooc1ro or1 +oorc oil Coo1.ifiooC
will not have been made in vain.

NOT JUST A WHITE
FOLKS FIGHT

To many Negroes, north and
south, the struggle over the re-
vised Connally amendment to the
Selective Service act will seem like
a "white folks" fight in which the
darker brother has little interest.
But as a matter of fact, the fight
strikes at the very root of our pol
itical and economic problems in the
south.
An analysis Of the vote revealed
that " Of rs representatives from
Southern states having poll tax
restrictions on the right to vote,
were in favor Of the legislation to
place labor Sin involuntary serv-
itude'. 1t is not mere coincidence
that in the states which sent these
men to congress, Negroes enjoy,
as a matter of right, few of the
privileges and immunities of AM
erican citizenship.

UNIONS AMI
IN SAME BOAT

These men and the industrial,
commercial and plantation powers
they represent are bitterly oppos-
ed to unions for the same reason
they disfranchise Negro and poor
white labor in the south. They
want an almost absolute control
over the labor force in their dis
tricts.
These same men and the unions
know that this control is safe SC
long as workers in these areas are
not able to vote. Likewise every
Negro in the south with the brain
of an ant knows that the fight for
civil liberties, better education,
public sanitation, health facilities
housing and the very security of
life and property depend upon our
whining the right to vote.

DR.. Valuraz B. Spratlln, Head of

most remarkable men of u time.

fantile paralysis. His physician gave
him but a few years to live. He was
forbidden to read, but to satisfy him,
he was permitted to attend grade
school classes and listen to other pu-
pills recite. He finished grade and high
school with honOrs at the head of his
class. From the University of Denver
he was graduated with the highest
honors. And at Middleberry Univers-
ity in Vermont, where he received his
degree of Doctor of Modern Language
es, and at the University of Madrid,
Spain, where he studied for several
years, he won distinction. Three years
ago, he spent a year in South Amer
lea studying the Spanish background
there. He has written and published
two books one dealing with a Spanish
Negro scholar and the other with a
Spanish Negro Painter, whose works
of art rival those of Valesquez.
It is not too much to say that DR..
Spratlin is the foremost student the
race has produced here in America in

THE LABOR-SOUTH CIVIL
WAR NOT A WHITE FOLKS
FIGHT. UNION NEGRO CO.
OPERATION FOR DEMOC-
RACY-
In the congress of the United
States last week, the CIO and the
ALL. won another impressive vic
tory in the long civil war between
the south and the organized labor
movement. The fight conferred a.
round a house vote on a conference
report approving the revised am
endment to the Selective Service
act. This amendment as passed
by the senate and very slightly
modified in conference would, in
the opinion Of Bill Green, of the
AFL. Impose a condition of in
voluntary servitude upon labor.
Phil Murray Of CIO. charged
the legislation: SIS not intended to
exercise any compulsion upon man
agement, but only against labor.
Thus the ALL. and the CLIO. at
tained an effective degree Of unity
on a matter affecting their NUT
nal interests.
After various representatives
had been properly "button holed"
by labor spokesman, the house
smashed the attack on the unions
by a vote Of 255 to ia. Republi-
cans, Democrats voted against the
measure.
When the results of the con-
test were announced, Rep. Martin
Dies stated "Now that the Republi
cans have gone over to the CLIO.
maybe I better start investigating
'em".

THE STAIN
GET TOGETHER

Our right to vote will come only
when the American people with
our help insist upon equality Of
suffrage in the United States. The
trade unions, particularly the CIO
are in the forefront of this fight.
It should be no more difficult to
make common cause with the CIO
and the AFL. than it was for a
Tory government in England 20
make common cause with Comm
unist Russia. We too are fighting
for our lives.
