Washington, d. C.-The whole
of the Negro population of the
country is aroused and the March
on Washington takes on tremen-

as the date set for the massing in

of Negroes draws nearer.
July 1 will see the cavalcade
parading through the streets of
Washington carrying banners and
signs protesting discrimination
against Negroes in the national
defense program.
The NAACP is intellectually
back of the movement, has con-
tributed financially to it, and
branches throughout the country
have been urged to give it I'M

Last week, A. Phillip Randolph,

Harlan S. Callahan
Leads Oh. Pol. Poll
BU e. I. e.

Rumors grow persistent that
Deputy Coroner and former deputy
sheriff, Harlan S. Callahan, is be-
ing given serious consideration for
chief of police.
Should Mayor Millikin send the
name of Callahan to the city coun-
Gil, it would be quickly confirmed.
Callahan's favorable considera-
ton for chief of police would meet
the approval of all Negroes. His
unbiased attitude in the Berry
Lawson case has never been for
gotten.
The citizense of Seattle demand
the naming of one of their own
for police chief. Few are able to
discern any reason for even con-
sidering a nonresident.
There are many fine citizens in
Seattle capable of raising the
standard of the police department
to the plane demanded by the
people.
In the department, Capt. w. B.

Byrnes Appointment
Shocks Race; NAACP
Tells Roosevelt

New York-The appointment of
Senator James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina to be associate justice of
the United States Supreme Court,
Thursday, June IL is a shock to
Negro Americans, the NAACP in
formed President Roosevelt.
Immediately upon receipt of
word of the appointment the Asso-
citation which has long fought
Byrnes' reactionary racial and lab
or policies and has repeatedly ex-
posed his unfavorable stand on
questions involving the Negro and
minorities, wired the President.
Irony of the situation was that
Byrnes' nomination was confirmed
eleven minutes after the Senate
received word of it, in spite of the
Senate's previus ruling never to
confirm an appointment to the
Supreme Court bench without
hearing. This ruling was made af-
ter the Juror which arose when
Justice Hugo Black was appointed.
The nominations of Justice Harlan
F. Stone and Attorney General
Robert l.. Jackson were referred
to the Senate judiciary committee.
Byrnes, as senator, fought the
Wage Hour bill, lobbyed and fill
clustered against the anti-lynching
bill, ranted against the Negro
press and in. 1917 opposed the con-
scription bill because, Under the
War Departments CONSUMPTION
bill they would have the right to
assign a (white) boy from South
Carolina to serve . . by the side
of a Negro from Indiana. If they
did this they would not have to go
to Europe for war"
Byrnes, whose reputation as
shrewd politician is exceeded by
few, has on every occasion opposed
grants of Federal funds to Howard
university. His home state, South
Carolina, is poll tax state where
only So percent of the voting-age
population cast ballots in the pres
idential election of 1910.

"It is said that at a time when

in many areas, fully qualified

.NAACP Conf, Houston

New York-The cold blooded
murder of Bob White in a court
room in Conroe, Tex, June 10, as
he was about to be tried for the
third time on a criminal attack
charge has focused the attention
of the nation on the 32nd annual
conference of the National Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Col
ored People which meets in Hou-
ston, Tex, June 24-29 inclusive.
White had been defended since
August, 1887 by lawyers engaged
by the NAACP, and his conviction
had been reversed twice by higher
courts.
The legal work of the associa-
ton will receive prominent atten-
ton during the conference ses-
sions, but the spotlight will be up
on the Negro in the national de-
tense program. One evening mass
meeting will be devoted to this
topic, as well as an entire day of
discussion.
