BETTER NEGRO SCHOOL
NEGRO TEACHERS TO
RECEIVE SMALL INCREASE IN
SALARY

According to reports coming from
Alcorn A. and M. College, Mr.. Vandi-
ver, State Superintendent of Negro
Education, is promising a 2O9o in
crease in the salary of Negro teach
ers. We are happy to know that
little consideration is being given to
Negro teachers in Mississippi.
From one angle, the 209o increase is
big amount, and from another, it is
still pathetic This means that where
some of our Negro teachers have
been receiving $4,000 salary, they
will now receive $24.00; where a Ne
gro teacher has been receiving $500
salary, they will receive $4,000; and
where we have a few Negro teachers
who receive $500, they will receive
$4,000 if they are to get 209o in
crease. If and where we have Negro
ttoters who receive $4,000 per
month, they will receive a salary of
$4,000 and if per adventure we have
Negro teachers who receive $4,000
per month they will get $4,000.
Well, this little bit isn't much, how
ever, since we are HELPLESS creatures,
let us be thankful for this little bit,
and let us pray that the time will
come when Negro reacners will get a
decent wage for service rendered as
teachers.
There appeared in Jackson paper
white, few days ago, an article by
white editor, deploring the fact that
Negroes in Mississippi have not had a
fair deal from an educational stand
point. We are sure that this is no
news to any of us. 1t isn't anything
new. Any Negro in our state who has
obtained grammar school education;
high school education or a college
education should be congratulated.
His way has been hard; his road has
been rough; his hills have been high
and the valleys have been low, but we
thank God that this race of ours is a
race that knows how to be respectful:
knows how to be humble; knows how
TO pray and trust God and wait for
the answer to come from above May
we urge you to be loyal, be patriotic,
be law abiding. God will fight Gar
battle. Z

Paddock Pushes Bill
For District Delegate
In Congress
Author Of Resolution
Appeals to Colleagues
To Help Get Action

Representative Paddock, Re-
publican, of Illinois today ap-
pealed to the House to help him
get favorable report from the
Judiciary Committee on his reso-
luton for an elected delegate
from the District.
He said such a delegate would
assist In obtaining a modern and
emcient form of government for
the District, emphasizing that the
present government is unsatis-
factory for three main reasons. !"
He quoted the language Of the Grit
fenhagen report to Congress in 1899
which said that the existing or
ganization has been built around
an act adopted over 90 years ago and
has obviously grown without plan
or system, 1t is now unbelievably
complex, confused, illogical and
cumbersome.
Other Reasons Given.
Additional reasons, In Represen-
tatiye Paddock,s opinion are that the
residents OF the District do not vote
and most members of Congress,
which he says is In effect 4 munich
pal council, are not sufficiently in
formed regarding District affairs.
Representative Paddock asked his
House colleagues to assist him in
providing more efficient form of
government and in, giving relief
both to the residents who now have
no legally elected representative to
advocate desirable changes.
Increased Need for Work.
He explained that his own interest
in this problem comes largely from
his knowledge as a House member
that most of the members do not
know enough about District affairs"

War Communications
Davis Tells Inquiry
owl Chief Declares Ban
Hompers His Efforts to
Keep Public Informed
BY the Associat ted Press.

Z
Elmer Davis, director OF the
Once OF War Information, told a
congressional committee today
that James G. Petrillo's ban
against musical records and
transcriptions threatened the
wartime national system OF COM
munication.
Mr.. Davis was the first witness
before a Senate Interstate Com
merce Subcommittee hearing called
to determine the effect on public
morale Of the order by Mr.. Petrillo,
president Of the American Fedora
ton OF Musicians, forbidding union
musicians to. make records and
transcriptions for radio stations and
COIN operated monographs.
This order, Mr.. Davis testified
had the effect of hating the max
ing OF records necessary to the keep
ing Of audiences by more than $50
radio stations.
Hampers War Effort.
"A policy which threatens the
continued existence of many of these
stations is injurious to the national
system Of communication, and may
seriously hamper the work for which
this Office (of War Information)
was established, of informing the
people ABOUT the status and progress
Of the war effort and the war poll
cies, activities and aims of this
Government"
Mr.. Petrillo has contended that
the use Of canned music" meant
loss Of employment for musicians.
Mr.. Davis said also he had been
advised the luke box" playing OF
recordings was q source of enter
tainment for troops In and out of
the country and was a vital neces-
sity for the entertainment of the
troops"
He is not concerned, he said with
individual stations or proprietors OF
institutions In which juke boxes
are located, against whom Mr.. Pc
trillo may have grievance.
Our concern" Mr.. Davis con-
tinued, lis primarily with the ma
tional interest In maintaining the
broadest possible system Of radio
station communication; and Sec
ondarily with the persons with
whom Mr.. Petrillo has had no dis
pute at all, who are adversely af-
fected by this ruling-the broadcast
ing station located far from the
sources OF supply of available mu-
sical talent and in no economic DO
sition to serve without recordings;
the operator of the candy store
across the street from an Army post,
the USO hut in Alaska-aH these
places, and the people they serve
who are dependent on recorded
music"
Fly to Testify Tomorrow.
Chairman Clark of Idaho ad-
journed the brief hearing until to-
morrow when he said Chairman
James L. Fly OF the Federal Com
munications Commission would tes-
tify.

Senator Clark as preliminary to q
