Seek Congressional Investigation OF
Discrimination In National Defense

New Y0rk-lntroduct1o IN Con-
gress of a resolution calling for
Senate investigation of the sta
tus and treatment of the Negro
in the national defense program

colored People it was announced
here today.
According to officials of the or

The announcement followed ac-
ton taken by the associations

gressional investigation into eve-
ry phase of the defense program,
particularly the nationwide discri-
mination practiced against and the
refusal of vocational training to

information gathered by the as
sociation as a result of two ma

clauses in all industrial defense
contracts financed in whole or part
by the federal government, and to
amend the National Labor Rela-

ton of this act to unions which
discriminate either directly or in
directly against Negroes.

ficials of the organization stated
that they would leave no stone
unturned" in pushing the investi-
cation to the limit.

which was lost on the floor of the

"It was not until years after
that I knew what killed that anti

abridged except for participation
in rebellion or other crime, the
basis of representation therein
shall be reduced in proportion
which the number of such male
citizens shall bear to the whole
number of male citizens 81 years
of age in such state"
The constitution says that no
state shall be allowed representa-
ton In congress for citizens denied
the right to vote. But eight south
ern states, by use of the poll tax
and the dis m n atory laws
against Negroes, do have such re-
presentation for ten million per-
sons denied the franchise.
Instead of penalizing such states
as is provided for by the consti-
tuition, congress is actually prepar-
ing TO reward at least one-Ten-
nessee-with the gift of an addi-
.ional congressman.
The people of Washington have
a direct interest in seeing to it
that the constitution is enforced.
The 1910 census gave Washington
population of 1,721,376. In the
November elections 802,934 of
these persons voted.
In Washington 46 per cent of
the population voted as compared
to an average of 38 per cent for
The nation as a whole. For the
poll tax states the percentages ran
as follows. Alabama 10.4 per cent
Arkansas, 1913 per cent; Georgia,
10 per cent; Mississippi 8 per cent;
South Carolint, So per cent; Ten
nessee, 17.9 per cent; Texas, 1862

Death Stalks Game

Following this brilliant floor

of good will, stars fade away
behind dark clouds, the sun gone
down at the end of a perfect
night; Jack Lelivelt, the idol
of Seattle baseball world, per-
haps overcome by the uncanny
legerdeman of the sleight of
hand performers from Harlem,
left the game stricken man.
Nor could the hands of devoted
friends, nor all the medical skill
at their command, stay the I'M
welcomed visitor. Hurried to his
club, he was Immediately talk
en- to the hospital where he died
twenty minutes later.
No man in the baseball world
was more honored and loved
than he, by players and public
alike. He simply made the best
of everything; he was never
mean or little In disputes with
umpires or men; never began
arguments except for cause, nor
did he quickly yield. No finer
compliment could be given him
than that by an umpire who
said ''He was my friend"
Race men and women who
frequented the games here in
Seattle were quick to join the
mighty hosts of fans in sharing
Their sympathy with the bereav-
ed family. They loved the pilot
as much as they.

With the nth congress meeting
on Jan. 8, 1941, the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, now much concerned
about the fate of democracy in
other parts of the world, will have
an opportunity to enforce the 18th
amendment of the u. S. constitu-
ton which has been flagrantly
violated since its adoption II years
ago.
Two months ago the federal CEN
sus bureau informed the President
that the 1910 official nose count
gives the U. S. a population of
131, $3.50, 275.
Within one week after January
8, the President is required to send
to congress the official population
figures of each state. From these
congress will decide the repre-
sentation each state is entitled to.
Will the President use his broad
powers to insist that the consti-
tuition be obeyed?
Paragraph 1 of the 18th amend
ment states very clearly that
mo state shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citi-
zens of the U. g."
The penalties for violating this
provision is also very clearly set
forth in Paragraph of the same
amendment:
Representatives shall be ap-
pointed among the several states
according to their respective
numbers, counting the whole num-
Der of persons in each state ex-
Guiding Indians not taxed. But
when the right to vote at any
election for the choice of electors

thereof, is denied to any of the

DR.. Hutchinson, president of
Washington and Jefferson College
believes "Hitler is right In preach
ing to the world about corruption
in democracies, because our indi-
vidualism has gotten out Of bounds
and has gone to seed and is I'M
sanctified and unregenerated. De-
mocracy develops corruption. Our
courts are filled with the trials
of corrupt officials. In this state
alone corruption has become by

Now when Washington and JEFF

Immediately becomes case history.

that we face In this country an
individualism which has grown out
of Christianity and now goes to

Howard Pupil Sues
u. S. War Dept.

Washington, d. ca suit to
compel officials of the War De-
partment to consider his appli-
cation for enlisting in the United
States army air corps as a fly
ing cadet" was filed here today by
Yancey Williams, student at Ho-
ward University.
The complaint which was filed in
the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia names
as defendants Secretary of War
Henry Stimson, Chief of Staff Ma
jor General George G. Marshall,
Adjutant General E. S. Adams,
Chief of Air Corps Major General
Henry H. Arnold, and Major Cen
eral Walter S. Grant, command
ing general of the third corps area.
The suit is being brought not only
in his own behalf, Williams says
in the complaint, but also in be-
half of all other Negroes "simi-
larly situated"
In his complaint, Williams who
has completed two years of col
lege work at Howard University
alleges that he has successfully
completed the primary and secon-
Diary training courses of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority and holds
a private pilots license. He pass
ed the physical examination by
army doctors at Boiling Field last
July. Williams says he met all re-
quirements for application for ap-
pointment as flying cadet, made
out his application and transmit
ted it with all required references
and records, to the commanding
officer of the third corps Area on
November 20, 1910. The Command
ing General according to the COM
plant refused to consider the ap-
plication on the ground that the
plaintiff was a Negro.
Williams says he appealed to the
Adjutant General and the Secre-
tary of War and on December 13,
1910 the appeal was refused sole
ly because he was a Negro. The
complaint also alleges that during
that time and at the present time
the defendant officials of the War
Department have been advertising
in newspapers and over the radio
requesting qualified citizens to en-
list as flying cadets in the Air
Corps of the Army of the United
States.
The complaint alleges further:
THAT such conduct on the part
of these defendants, who, in their
official capacity as officers of the
Government and of the Army of
the United States and charged
with the duty of preparation for
national defense in a period when
the Nation, according to it's Chief
Executive, the President of the
United States faces the greatest
emergency in its history, is a vio-
lation of the duty and obligation of
these defendants to the citizens
and government of the United
States and contravenes the fun
damentalprincipals of the Ameri-
can democracy"
