Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-03-05

TO THE EDITOR:
I WOULD like 10 know what
L the American public should
do to be less complacent. On
picking up the newspaper, this
reference is made on number
of pages daily by various and
sundry Mr.. So-and-Sos.
Being one of the public, /
worry daily about what l should
do to be less complacent. This
war business is constantly on
my mind. I'm willing to CO.
operate in any way possible; my
husband and l m age TO
squeeze out of his earnings a
bond week-yet we, the public,
are complacent.
If there is any complacency
shown in this good old u. S. A.,
il rests in the front office where
they think il is more important
TO spend time arguing over
pensions and explaining away
mistakes. which is water over
the dam.
If the public is accused Of be-
ing complacent because of work
ing conditions. let me say the
blame is placed in the wrong
pigeon-hole.
Why don't the authorities step
in and put stop to this Strik-
ing business. once and for all,
before il is too late? Why not
take the bull by the horns now?
Any one can see the situation
won't right itself.
Detroit has done practically
nothing TO insure safety in an
air raid.
The public most certainly is
anxious TO cooperate. but they
don't know where TO begin. Why
do we have these so-called lead
ers if they're only going 10
warm seats Anybody can do
that.
Instead Of buying single
bomber. why don't we. the criti-
cized public, organize an Air
Raid Fund ?" That $4,000 AL
ready collected might buy few
anti-aircraft guns. or maybe
workable air raid siren.
For the life Of me | don't sec
how one bomber would offset
the damage which could he done
TO our arsenal IN an air raid.
AZ any rate. please tell me
what to do 10 be less compla-
cent. l would like TO do my bit
TO help win this war.

France Gives
Lesson TO
u. s. Workers
They Struck for Rights
Also in Wartime
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. March 5
w The theory upon which
unions are exercising their right
10 strike is that their vital in
tcreStS are being impaired.
Labor apparently believes its
fundamental rights are as inn
portant as winning the war.
This notion may seem selfish.
from the viewpoint Of the gen.
cral welfare. Whether any class
right can be above national in
tereSt is al least a debatable
question. But put all that to
one side.
To Judge the problem fairly,
accept the viewpoint of the
union striker. The only question
then is whether his rights have
been threatened TO cause him 10
slow down production.

like 10 stand
am a musician Al one of the
downtown cafe spots and every
time the radio is turned on over
the loud speaker for the Presi-
dent of the United States or any
national event or sport where
the Star Spangled Banner is
played, half of the people stand
and the other half sit down as if
they were glued 10 the chairs.
l ask an explanation Of this.
What do they mean?
Are those that sit lazy? Don't
they give a boot? Are they
burned up because they have
10 pay more income tax this

Don't they care that their

still that they viii not send
some one out to learn truth and
absolute facts.
Again. / beg TO advise you
that this project is not white
neighborhood at all.
on the contrary il lies in an
undcveloped neighborhood al
most adjacent TO large and
beautiful Negro community and
almost in the shadow of a pub
lie school that has an enrolment
which is almost equally divided
between Negro and white pupils.
Again and again l advise you
that selfish real estate interests
are responsible for this ugly,
unfortunate situation.
II has been very easy TO re-
cruit underprivileged whites to
flare up and make an atmos-
pherc that has given the public
the impression that the project
is in pure lilly white" neigh
borhOOd.
1t may interest you TO know
that both Negroes and whites,
not only of this city but through
out the nation, are interested in
this matter.
They see the unScrupulouSneSS
involved and consider II most
unfortunate that situation like
this should exist at a time when
national unity is paramount.
The metropolitan newspapers
continue to presume that the
giving 10 Negroes of another
site elsewhere would constitute
a compromise.
Far be il from the truth.
A very deep principle and JUS
tice are involved in this matter.
The Soiourner Truth Homes
project belongs TO Negroes. and
they will not abandon their right
TO it AT any compromise.
Finally. the most unfortunate
part about the entire situation
Is that the newspapers seem to
be willing and anxious that this
important issue remains clouded
and obscure.
1t Is obvious that if the news
papers would at least give
description Of the property, stat
ing its proximity 70 the Negro
Conant Garden settlement, etc,
the vicious agitators would have
not leg upon which TO stand.
! understand that every
metropolitan newspaper has been
given description of this
property along with a physical
diagram of the neighborhood
The mere presentation of the
same would diSillusion all who
have been led 10 believe that the
Soiourner Truth Homes are in a
white neighborhood.

first meeting of the year, our a.
genda was full of business. After

which the President presented two

person to work with Mrs. Fred
Hamilton 636 Word Herald. The
letter from the Civil Defense Vol
unteers. are asking that we ap-
point a registering committee to

World Herald Bldg. The Presi-

opening for the Negro peoples and
we should not make waste of the
opportunities. Mrs. Charles Muir
ry was appointed contact for the
Defense Savings Staff. Other
committees to be appointed later.

substitute for him in presenting
to the church, their new Pastor in
the person of Rev. Oda Askerl-
eese, who comes to us highly rec
commended by Bishop w. H. Dunn
Of the Eastern Diocese with head
quarters at Norfolk, Va.
Rev. Relf after four years of
ernest an insessant labor at said
church, is turning to Rev. Askern-
eese a church organization, both
as to spirit and UNCONVENTIONAL
loyalty, that bespeaks for itself.
as to the great sacrifice that was
made by this consecrated man of
God. For the church and the or
ganization it represents. Rev.
Relf came to Omaha from Chicago
where he had a short while before
receiving this appointment, marr-
led n of the leading school teach.
ers of Chicago.
Hence Rev. Relf thought it
would not be wisdom on his part
to request his young bride to give
up her school work, and accomp-
any him to his new field of labor,
knowing that a Minister who
stands for the fundamentals of
Christianity is confronted with
these days of skepticism and mod
ernism. Hence Sister Relf agreed
with him to make the sacrifice.
She said that he might take over
his new field of labor, but that she
would remain in Chicago and con-
tinue in her school work.
And for four long years as a
bride she made the sacrifice to al
low her husband to give his serv-
ice, not only to his own denomin-
alton but to the church welfare of
the city of Omaha at large. Rev.
Relf was loved and respected by
the ministers of Omaha and their
members, and while we all regret
to see him leave the city, we feel
however that Rep Askerneese will
make a fine substitute for him.
For he comes to us so highly rec
commended by the former churches
which he has pastored and the diff
ferent organizations with which he
has been active.
