chosen?
Also nominated for the nonpar-
tisan position is Superior Judge
Joseph A. Mallory of Tacoma,
neither he nor Judge Main having
received a majority of the votes
cast. Edwin C. Ewing of Seattle
and Fret Lafayette Casey of
Walla Walla also were candidates
for the position in the primary
election.
The law requires that when no
candidate for the high court re-
ceives a majority of the votes cast
the names of the two candidates
receiving the highest number of
votes shall go on the general ell
ection ballot.
The question left unanswered is,
do Judge Mallory and the third
place winner yet to be decided,
fight it out in the general cleo
ton, or is Judge Mallery unoppos-
ed in the general election?
Mrs. Reeves said she would ask
the attorney general for formal
opinion on the matter.
At one time Justice Main, dean
of the state supreme court, having
been a justice since 1912, was re-
ported in a critical condition, but
for the last several days he has
been reported improving.

The Jump King

Contracts have just been signed
for Count Basic to appear in a
feature film for Columbia Pictures
with his orchestra. Shooting is
expected to get under way late
this month after the Count fin
ishes his current engagement at
the Trianon Ballroom in Los An
geles. George Raft, Ginger Rogers
and George Murphy have been
lined up by Columbia to share
starring honors with the Count
and his bands-men.
The tentative title of Basie's
picture is "Reveille For Beverly"
and and an all-star cast is being
assembled to support the Basic
band and vocalist James Rushing,
who will be featured in a comedy
role. Among the famous stars who
will appear on the screen with
with the Count and his band in
this picture will be Ginger Rog-
ers, George Raft, and George
Murphy. Ebbins is to be congrat-
ulated for holding out and final
ly getting Basic one of the great
est film deals ever landed by any
dance band.
With the Basic band on the Tria-
non stand, this ballroom took num-
Der one ranking for the first time
in its history. Woody Herman at
the Hollywood Palladium couldn't
compete with Basie's box office
power, the Palladium losing thou
sands of regular patrons to the
Trianon. Lionel Hampton at the
Casa Manana in Culver City was
completely out of the picture, it
being another unfortunate break
for poor Hamp to have been book
ed at the Casa Manana with Bas-
lie in the same territory.

Race Discrimination

I am a young Negro mother, my
baby being only five months old.
Three months ago I went to a de-
tense school. ! was the only Ne
gro in the class and the only stu
dent that had had any college ed
ucation whatsoever. Some of the
girls couldn't add common deci-
mails and fractions. I was called
to work at Boeing's and, after
passing my physical, was sent to
join the union.
When I went to the End and
Union office of Local 751, how
ever, I was sent to Georgetown
while the other girls joined there.
Upon my arrival at Georgetown I
was told that I would have to
work on a permit. I asked why
and was told that no Negroes
could belong because of their 1.-THE
union's) constitution.
I said, do you mean to tell me
no matter what my qualifications
are that because I'm a Negro I
can't join the union?"
That's right" was the reply.
you work on a permit and pay
$3.50 a month to work and you
don't have to attend the meetings"
Isn't this nice situation for a
country fighting a war for free
dom?
I've been working at Boeing's
for almost three months and get
along very well with my fellow
workers, but here's the rub. What
protection have I? What am
paying $3.50 month for? When
the war is over won't I be one of
the first to go because my permit
is issued monthly?

Prof. Lawrence l.
McCruder, Obituary


Funeral services for Prof. Lawr-
ence L. McGruder were held at
the Angelus funeral parlors Mon
day evening. September Il, at 81
30. Rev. Jack Nelson Of the Pen
tecostal Mission was in charge of
the services, by Mr.. McGruder's
request. Assisting ministers were
Rev. II. Benjamin Davis OF the
Mt. Zion Baptist Church and Rev.
L. R. Hayes of the First A. M. E.
Church. Music was by the for
mer choir of the First A. M. E.
Church of which Mr.. McGruder
was chorister and organist.
He was native of Harrisburg,
Mo-, born January 8, 1877. He
was one of a large family. and at
an early age showed signs of mu-
steal ability. His parents gave
him the opportunity to develop his
musical talent. He attended Lin
coin University, where he gradu-
ated with high honors. He then
moved to Colorado, where he fur
thered his musical education at
Colorado College. He served the
st. Johns Baptist Church of Col
orado Springs as chorister and or
ganist for years. Here he gained
the distinction of having the best
choir in the state. He held a pro-
minent position in Denver at the
u. S. Government Mint, and at
the same time. studied the organ
under DR.. Gowen, relnowned or
ganist from Europe.
Shortly after this he was or
dered west by his physician, as he
had always been frail in health.
He accepted his physicians advice
and came to Aberdeen, Wash, and
a year later, to Seattle
He was advance agent for the
famous blind Boone seven years,
touring the east and middle states.
He returned to Seattle in 1925,
where he has been prominent in
musical circles, having taught pri-
vate classes and for the p. w. A.
He joined the First AME Church
and for the past IL years has con-
t:nuously been a faithful member,
organist and chorister, up to the
first of December, 1941.
He died at Harborview hospital
July 81, 1912. McGruder's pass
ing leaves vacancy in the Seat
tie musical circles that will be
keenly felt, and for dependability,
hard to fill. The community as a
whole. that he had so endeared to
himself, mourns the passing of
this true friend to all mankind.
His unusual interest in the tall
ented young folks of his race, in
particular, is a great loss to our
young musicians. Yes, all who
CHANGED to know Prof. McGruder
mourn the loss of a true friend
and faithful servant.
We contribute this short poem
to his memory.
Servant of God, well done,
Best be thy name employed.
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy.
He leaves to mourn his loss a
reice, Mrs. Lillian Thomas of Kan
sas City, Mo-, a nephew, Esmon
McGruder of Los Angeles, distant
relatives, and a host of friends.

A remark of Dean Cromwell
head track coach of the University
of Southern California, at the
schoolmasters' banquet in Brawley
this week seemed just a trifle on
the modest side.
Cromwell, known as the dean"
of track coaches throughout the
nation, said that good cinder teams
come not by the efforts of their
respective instructors but as the
result of the material with which
they have to work.
This may be partly true but
glance at the Trojan record
shows that either use. has
been able IL garner the cream
of athletes from the four cor
ners or the Dean may be doing
as we said, staying entirely in
the background.
Consistently for the past years
the Trojans have dominated the
sport and once again they are rated
as the No. One team nationally.
Cood material naturally plays an
important part ia developing strong
track squads but nevertheless the
part played by the coach should
not be moderated. Take for in
stances the case of Les Steers, Ore
CONS world champion high jumper.
Steers is natural athlete
who loves TO jump better than
anything else he can think of.
In grammar sch vol he scaled
six feet-which is indeed a
perfOrmance-and then in high
school ne added several more
inches to his height. BY the
time he was ready to enter col
lege, Steers had topped six and
half feet.
All this time Steers had been
under the able tutorage of Dink
Templeton. S ia nford university
track coach. Templeton had noticed
the Possibilities of the barrel
chested youth when he was in
high school and gave him constant
supervision.
