Talmage B. Carey Speaks

4oAmoSS ID. NdESy OpSdkS
In a forceful talk, Talmage B.
Carey, member of the NAACP
board and civic leader, reminded
the board that the committee did
not come to the meeting to discuss
the newspapers policies, that he
felt that the paper could well take
care of itself but that the commit
tee was interested in adjusting this
matter of discrimination against
these three women, one of whom
has boy in the U. S. armed forces.
He told the board that he was
sure that its members were not
completely aware of the heavy
handicap of color. He said, eff
some of you had been black as long
as I have and suffered the many
insults and. restrictions I have,
you'd understand why we've made
up our minds that while we are
fighting to win democracy for the
world we are going to fight just
as hard here to win it for our
selves" Carey said, Negroes are
tired of being kicked around"
Mrs. Sybil Bell, one of the wom-
en- affected by the Jim Crow order,
told the board the story of the at
fair. Mayor Marvin Kline ques-
toned Mrs. Bell for details.
C. W. Washington of the Urban
League explained that the three
women were paid for their work
at the hospital by the WPA.
DR.. Harrington sat through the
whitening attack on him without
quivering an eye lash.
Bastis Makes Motion
After Mrs. Bell spoke, Mayor
Kline suggested that the board
order the women reinstated pend,
ing an investigation and fling of
affidavits by the women. Alder
man AL Bastis of the Sixth Ward
made the motion for the reinstate-
ment of the women and I. s.
JOsephs, board member, seconded
the motion. The motion was car
ried. The motion included the pro-
vision that the three women would
be returned under the same eondi-
tons under which they worked
prior to the Jim Crow edict.
This week the women went back
to work and reported everything
was working in perfect harmony.
Mrs. Emily Vaughn, who accepted
the Jim Crow accommodations and
was not discharged, was ordered to
move her clothes back in the regu-
lar rest and locker room when the
other three women returned to
work.
In addition to those who spoke
the following citizens were present
Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Shep-
herd, Henry Thomas and Mrs. Lula
Maxwell.
Members of the Welfare Board
who heard the matter are Mayor
Marvin Kline, 1. s. Josephs, Mrs.
Carolyn StOrlie, Alderman AL Bias.

Minneapolis Spokesman and was
referred to the Minneapolis Branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of COlOred People.
The Spokesman and Recorder
newspapers exposed the whole
matter to public attention in the
issue of Feb. 10, in a news story
and editorial attack on Harrington
whose act the papers contended
was conducive to disumty. Har-
rington could not be reached prior
to the Feb. 10 issue for a state
ment, but did consent to an inter-
view for the Feb. 20 issue. He did
not deny his part in the incident.
Welfare Board Hears
Delegation
At the regular meeting of the
welfare board a delegation from
the NAACP appeared without pre-
ViOus arrangement. The board
kindly consented for the delegation
to be heard despite this technical
ity at an executive session follow
ing the regular meeting.
Harry L. Scott Attacks
Harrington
Harry L. Scott, Minneapolis at
torney and member of the legal re-
dress committee of the NAACP,
told the board why the committee
was present and vigorously at
tackled Harrington for the order
which tried to force a Jim Crow
condition upon the women. He
branded the act of which DIR. Har-
rington was charged as the type
Of thing that would aid CDR"
Hitler.
JOsephs Questions Papers
Attack
l. S. JOsephs, board member,
brought up the matter by referring
to the editorial which had appeared
in the Spokesman attacking Har-
ringtOn's action. He said he had
known DR.. Harrington for many
years and had never noticed any
race prejudice on the part of the
health commissioner. He said that
he considered the papers attack
premature. Mr.. JOsephs read from
a copy of the Spokesman as he
talked.
NewspaperwOman Defends
Publication
Mrs. Cecil Newman, wife of the
editor of the Spokesman, described
how the newspaper attempted to
contact DR.. Harrington on Wednes-
day evening to the extent of Ieav-
ing a message for him at his home.
She said that because of other ex-
periences with the health commits
siOner, Negroes felt that DR.. Har-
ringtOn was guilty of race pref
udice.
Alderman Eric Hoyer said he
was surprised that the editorial
attack on DR.. Harrington was not
withheld until the paper had con-
tacted him. He said that he had
always admired the editorial policy
of the paper but this time he felt
the paper had been unfair and
thought that it was different than
the daily papers and wouldn't print
an article without a complete in
vestigation.
Mrs. Newman said That's Just
the trouble. It is generally as
sumed that Negroes are different
from other races. The only differ
ence in US is our color" This go
called difference, she said, heatedly
is the basis for Negroes not being
given employment opportunities,
and for many other inequalities
forced upon them.
Mr.. JOsephs explained that his
remarks were intended to get at
the bottom of the charges and that
he was well aware of the injus-
tees practieed upon certain people.

II Enemy Bombers
Raid Port Darwin

DARWIN, Australia, June Is U.P)
- A force of q japanese bombers,
protected by fighter planes, sub
iected the Port Darwin area to its
heaviest aerial bombardment to-
day, dorpping about 200 bombs as
Allied planes battled the raiders
at high altitude.
1t was the third strong Japanese
attack upon this vital United Ma
tionS base in three days but cas-
ualties were few and damage was
slight considering the number of
enemy planes involved.
The attack began shortly after
noon when the q enemy raiders
appeared over Darwin township,
flying high in three-plane v for
nation.
Most of the 200 bombs dropped
by the raiders were light Daisy
cutters" or small shrapnel bombs
intended to inflict casualties ra-
ther than destroy or damage OBJ
jectives.
Several men who had taken
shelter in silt trenches narrowly
escaped being killed when bombs
fell close to them.

WASHINGTON, June Is UP) =
A newspaper which characterized

not engage in unfair labor prac-
tices, according :, an opinion to-
day by trial examiner of the ma

The Interpretation was made in

No. 579 that the Register Publish
ing Co, Santa Ana, Calf, had
engaged in unfair labor practices
by calling its former union en-
ployeS "rac&eJeers."
MasloW recommended, however,

1941, when their jobs were filled
by alleged strike breakers.

In these days the substance called
rubber Is often in the news. Be
cause the Japs have cut OF most of
our supply, we cannot obtain some
of the things which we're easy to
get in past times. What rubber we
do have, we must be careful about.
The country which once led the
world in rubber production is now
far down on the list. I am think
ing Of Brazil, the largest country of
South America.
Forty years ago Brazil produced
more than half of all the rubber
which was sent to market. Most of
Brazil's rubber came from Hevea
trees In the Amazon valley.
Hevea tree seeds, obtained from
Brazil, were planted in other parts
Of the world. The first planting in
Ceylon took place in 1876. AS the
years passed, the trees grew up and
small crops of rubber were obtained
from them, also from plantations on
other islands near the southern coast
Of Asia.
In 1907. little less than half of
the worlds supply came from Brazil,
in 1914 barely onefourth.
In 1870 the rubber from Brazil
amounted to only 1900 long tons.
The rest of the world produced in
that year 1873 900 long tons.
Java, Sumatra, 5crnen the Malay
States and Cevlon were the biggest
producers in 1940 So far as the
plantations were not destroyed in
recent warfare, the japanese today

cation of the races. varieties and
sub-varieties, since all the Brassicae
are of European and Siberian de-
scent. We are more interested IN
what the vegetable has accomplished
in it's adopted country.
The turnip is not temperamental
It is hardy; the young plants can
even Withstand some frost. Special
cultivation is not necessary. They
are cold-weather plants and do
best in loose moist soil. AS a rule,
the seeds are sown in drills that
stand from 10 to 20. inches apart,
depending on the variety. For gen.
eral operations where the turnip is
planted on a large scale, the rows
are placed far enough apart to per-
NIT horse tillage. When the seeds
are broadcast. cultivation is i'm
possible. Two or three pounds are
needed per. acre for broadcasting
When sown In drills, one-half OF
one-third of this amount will be
ample. The yields will sometimes
reach 1000 bushels TO the acre
though the average Is less.
