EstateOf$1OO>OOO
Left BY Scavenger

QOQUE, L. la N P)-LaSt
August, Cornelius w. (Ken) Smith,
74-year-o1d handyman and cess
pool cleaner, died. His funeral
was preached by a white minister
and a white undertaken handled
the burial. Last week, however,
numerous friends and relatives of
the deceased man were surprised
when Surrogate Richard w. Hawk
ms at near by Riverhead, reported
that the one-time cesSpool cleaner
left an estate of at least $4,000
when he died August %.
Local residents were not sur
prised by the size OF Smiths es-
tate because he had always de-
clared, MY greatest joy is saving
money, and if you don't spend it
you'll always have it," These folk
had estimated his wealth at
$4,000, but a check of records re-
vealed that he had that amount in
more than a half a. dozen banks.
The entire estate was willed to the
widow, except for $1,000 bequeated
to his sister, Mrs. Eddraner S.
Pate, who lives in Harlem.
Mrs. Smith, however, refuses to
discuss her fortune, but at her nine
room house On Old Main road she
stated, I'm going away, probably
to Washington, and I'd rather not
talk about it," Washington is the
widows home. She met her late
husband, a native of Long Island,
there in 1914, when she was 80 and
he was 81. She became popular
as waitress of one Quoque'S leading
white hotels, while he was just
the handyman. Nevertheless, to
please her eccentric husband, al
though she also liked to save
money, they worked hard, contin-
ued to save, and as result she is
100000 in cash better Of.

High School
Star Honored

George Diggs, Phoenix Colored
High School low hurdler, is the
only Arizona prep athlete whose
name appears on the 1941 National
Interscholastic Honor Roll COM
piled by A. E Thomas from out
standing track and field perform
ances and published in a recent
issue of Scholastic.
Diggs ran the 200 yard low
hurdles in 22.7 seconds in the state
meet at Tucson last spring. That
mark placed him sixth in the ma
tion in the. event. The record was
lowered by Smith Of Name High
School, Des PLANES, Ill, who ran
the event in 21.9 seconds in last
years Illinois state meet.
Diggs was clOcked at 22.4 over
the lows in the Mesa relays
last year, while he also was
awarded for the outstanding
athlete in 1941.
Diggs, IS years old and a senior,
has a good chance of lowering his
own mark this year. He will pe
shooting at a national record in
the state meet. AS only eight high
school athletes in the nation ran
the 200 lows faster than % sec
onds last season he is certain to
be in the national limelight every
time he runs.

Traffic Increase
Noted In State

Out of state cars of all classes,
passenger, bus and truck, entering
Arizona last year showed a heavy
increase over the preceding twelve
month period. According to figures
of the motor vehicle division OF
the state highway department, the
increase in passenger cars OF
foreign registry entering the state
stepped up more than 25 percent
above the 1910 totals.
The story for this year may be
quite different when the totals are
cast up at the end of December. In
dications are already apparent OF
a rapid slump in tourist traffic due
to the tire rationing program and
other war restrictions on motor
travel.
Bus travel is picking up and this
advance is expected to continue as
more people adopt that mode of
travel in order to conserve tires.
Commercial truck operations are
also shown gan expansion, due
doubtless to war time tranSporta-
ton needs. This class of travel
also is expected to show an increase
during the current year.
TRAVEL TRENDS
Monthly compilations show that
tourist travel in Arizona reaches a
high in August; then starts to
decline. This dropoff continues
through the month of February. In
March the figures of foreign cars
entering the state start to climb
again.
Over a third more passenger cars
that were weStbound entered Ari-
zona last year than were headed
eastward.
Lupton hold its position as the
leading port of entry for this class
of cars, clearing nearly twice as
many autos through its gates as
Ehrenberg, which took second place.

Group Meets In
Discussion OF !"
Possibilities
Liberals Advise
President Doors
Should BE Opened

WASHINGTON, D. c. (ANP)
Washington is buzzing with re-
ports concerning the recent con-
ference at the Navy department
with the Bard commission, since
assistant secretary Of the navy,
Ralph Bard, was chairman of the
group that met to discuss future
policy concerning the Negro in the
United States navy.
1t is reliably stated that two re-
ports have reached the Presidents
desk-one a minority report of the
more liberal and younger officers
included in the afternoon.
The same source is responsible
for the information that the old
liners were for maintaining the
same policy that now prevails in
the navy-that is to limit the en-
listment of Negroes to the mess
attendant rating.
WANT DOORS OPENED
Liberals are said to have advised
the President to open all doors, en-
listments, and the academy at An
napolis for full participation by
Negroes-that there may be Ad'
mirals as we'll as mess attendants
They are reported to have been
frank in their discussion of the
situation although they were out
numbered 6 to 3 in the committee
meeting.
The reports have been on the
Presidents desk pending his find
ing time to read them through, but
due to pressure of other matters
the chief executive has not had
time to look into the findings tf
the groups.
It was at first reported that
Judge William Hastie and DR.
Robert C Weaver had been call
ed in for a conference on the mat
ter of broadening the plan Of
enlistment for Negroes in the
navy. 1t was said at that time the
experiment would be made in the
coast guard and if that reaction
was favorable, it would be extend
ed to the navy.
STORY UNCONFIRMED
This, despite the fact that the
