Group Discusses
Plans To Form
Paper Company

A group of Minneapolis people
met Jan. 7, to hear plans of a
prominent Minneapolis woman and
a Mill City lawyer to form a cor
poration to publish a Negro week
ly newspaper.
Tentative plans call for the
launching of corporation to sell
shares in the venture.
It the plan materializes this will
be the second attempt in three
months to launch an additional
newspaper in Minneapolis.
The only newspapers published by
Negroes in the Twin Cities at pres
ent are the Spokesman of Mime
apolis and the Recorder of st. Paul
both independent weeklies ac-
knowledged as among the % lead
ing Negro newspapers in the coun-
try in content and influence in their
respective fields.

REMEMBER THOSE
WE LOVED

One of the finest customs of
civilized man is to keep constantly
fresh the memory of those of our
families who have passed on to
greener pastures. One of the most
convenient and appropriate ways to
do this yearly is to insert a card
of Gin Memoriam" in your news
paper.
We have a large variety of ap-
propriate and beautiful verses for
such cards. Prices for insertion are
nominal. Call Midway S340. Miss
Brown will gladly assist you in Sc
Letting and preparing an Gin Me-
moriam" for your loved ones.

humanity, only to be slapped down
with insults? Life is hard enough
without asking for slaps.
Negro men and women whose
sons, brothers and sweethearts are
on the firing line would like to do
anything within their power to
help their own boys and ALL
OTHER boys fighting for our
country. But their natural human
impulses are crushed down by the
American Red Cross in partnership
with the U. S. Army and the U. S.
Navy.
1t Is Not New
But the Red Cross is not content
with saying it does not want and
does not need Negro blood. Mr..
Colt defends its action by assert
ing that the prejudices of persons
Should be respected as a symbol
of democracy"
Now, this thought is not new.
Its freshness lies in its naked ex-
posture in an official letter. It has
been the habit of white people in
America, in practicing what they
call democracy, to regard demOc-
racy as something which respects
the prejudices of individuals. If an
individual did not want Negroes
living in a decent house in a de-
cent neighbOrhOOd, then the proper
democracy is to exclude the Negro.

This is not exactly fresh news
this week. The whole blood bust
ness was exposed some time ago in
daily and weekly papers. The part
that is fresh news is the official
Red Cross explanation of its re-
fusal. Probably no more amazing
statement has ever been issued by
any responsible organization, no
matter how preiudiced. One para
graph of a letter signed by S.
Sloan Colt, director of the Red
Cross Drive, states: &.
Negro Not Wanted
"The Red Cross is now able to
obtain from white donors enough
blood to keep all the processing
plants fully occupied so that the
total amount of blood plasma
available to the armed forces is
not lessened by our inability to ac-
cept Negro donors"
That fancy sentence means in
simple language: We are getting
plenty of blood from white people
and do not want or need blood
from Negroes.
My answer to that is that if they
don't want it and don't need it, for
Gods sake don't offer it to them.
Why should Negroes walk up to a
Red Cross blood donor station, all
full of love of country and love of

The Planes that Greet the Invader
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchikan Chronicle
 You have read in the dispatches from Alaska defense command headquarters and from the ma tona capital occasion that Flying Fortresses anc Liberators attacked the Japs at Kska from Alaskan bases
 This means something to many readers particu- nations and performances just youngsters once were experts at baseball performances
 For those who don't fully appreciate the facts The Flying Fortress is the famed Boeing our-englne high altitude, horizontal heavy bomber powered with American built Wright air-cooled engines The Iberator the Consolidated four-engne high alti- tude, horizontal bomber, powered with American built Pratt & Whitney ar-cooled engines. The Fort ress is the B-17, the Liberator the B-24
 The Armys Marauder plane mentioned in the dispatches the other day as having done remark able job in attacking the Japs the Aleutions IS the Martin B-26 two-engine medium altitude horl- zontal medium bomber. It is powered with Pratt x Whitney air-cooled engines.
 Among the fighter planes mentioned as having taken part in the attacks Kiska were Lockheed Lightnings, known the P-38. They are two-engine single place, high altitude fighters powered with the American built Allison liqud-cooled engine. It is our only high altitude fighter except for the new Republic PAT which is a sngle-engne, single place weapon powered with the Pratt S Whitney air cooled engine.
 The conclusion to draw from all this is that some of our best planes-we don't know how many but hope many of them-are engaged in the task of making the Japs lot Kiska deathly one

TOTAL WAR AT HOME

It is one thing for dsgruntled citizens to whack verbally at the nations war effort because fronts are not being established quick enough, not enough victories are being won-because not fighting a total
 But then it also is another thing for each and every American to take stock of himself or herself and ask the question: Am fighting total war on the home front" That's reasonable isn't it?
 We'll you know the answer. Americans on the home front are far from fighting total war Your so-called sacrifices bidding compared to those that you will have to make.
 Army chiefs aren't idealistic about the They'll tell you that thousands of young Americans will die on foreign soil before this thing is maybe the figure will hit the million mark.
 Well, you're talking about establishing more fronts. Don't think that you are going to get off without at least making sacrifices approaching those of our soldiers in action
 What does total warfare mean? Look at Britain, at China, Russia, and also at the countries of our enemies. It amounts to something along this line
 Total warfare means the end of fun, politics, shopping business, profits and freedom as usual. It is apparent that this is not the at home at present.
 It means not trying to get special privileges, not attacking administrative offices out of pure spite, not allowing misfts and incompetents to remain in office because you didn't vote election day.
 It means especially, and get this not waiting to see what your neighbor friend does for the war effort before you decide what you're going to do.
 It means not acting like the lady of a certain Western city in the States who when asked to turn out for air raid duty found out she was needed to serve on Wednesday and said:
 Oh I can't do it on Wednesdays. You see

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13

The horoscope for today contra diets established traditions regard ing the menace of Friday the thir- teenth. Benefic aspects rule power fully from morning until night.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under the most fortunate rule of the stars today which should inspire them to intensive effort along all lines of work. It is a happy date for love affairs and especially suspicious for making new acquaintances. Heart and head should harmonize in romances that start under this figuration. Love will be guided by wise judgment. Initiative should be postponed all though men in positions of power may be approachable in regard to new plans to be carried out later in the year.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Private enterprise will have reason to en- gage in unusual business ventures before the beginning of l943, it is predicted. Through war emergen- cies marvellous progress will be made along lines of research which will encourage establishment of new centers of production for civil ian needs Chemists will be added to the list of heroes who contri- ! bute to national advancement and inventors will win wide fame Warning is given that enemies will try to steal the secret of a novel weapon.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Lack of CO., ordination of our manpower will be evident at this time when the utmost efficiency and economy are required in the direction of our great forces. As the theater of war expands to every part of the globe not previously in the conflict events will show that too many high officials are engaged in in- dependent action or at least in slightly connected campaigns. The first confusion of speedy prepara- tions for the vastest of all conflicts now will be overcome to a certain extent by scientific organization and centraliza tior
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS People of the United States gradu- ally will realize the great debt owed to China which has engaged in combat thousands of Japanese who otherwise might have attacked this nation. Aid for the valiant people of the Orient who are our allies must be quickly increased before winter, the seers empha- size, despite all handicaps to trans portation. Promising aspects are discerned for the Chinese who have lost millions in combat and through \ starvation and disease.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex-
 traordinary success and happiness It IS time to push all advantages Children born on this day prob- ably will be daring and fond of adventure. Intellectual gifts of a
 high order are indicated.

A Ruse That Failed
Cincinnati Enquirer


 The United States Senate and more especially the 49 Senators who voted that way did the nation considerable service in sidetracking the effort to sneak in a form of selectve Federal prohibition as rider on the extension of selective service to in- clude 18- and 19-year-olds.
 A strenuous effort made by Senator Josh Lee and others to depict the military prohibition scheme necessary adjunct to the lowering of the draft age This indeed tenuous line of reasoning, inasmuch the young men in the Army are subject to much closer surveillance and restraint than they in civilian life and actually further removed from the danger of harm by alcohol when they enter the Army
 The pretense that bone e-dry prohibition was nec- essary in and near military establishments was most effectively deflated of by the testimony of the War and Navy Department officials, who said that instead of helping it would aggravate their morale and related problems
 What the Senate has done is to separate the prohibition issue, and compel it to stand in com mittee on it's merits rather than benefit by the urgency of the draft extension. It is to be hoped that the House of Representatives will be rio less intelligent or courageous if when the issue comes before it for vote
