HITLER IN SIX ESTON

The little jerk-water town oil
sill lesion, Me, put on a lynchlne
party in the XXX and Southern
tradition ON Il Sunday, exactly Il
weeks from Pearl liarbar Blues
giving Hitter and the Japs a
chance to say something
Snateking a seriously wounded
man who had been accused, not Of
rape, but If stalking a white
woman, from the jail, gang OF
200 believers in their American
way of life tied the col1red prison
er to an auto and dragged him thru
the streets and while he was still
live, poured gasoline over his
body and set him afire.
Tuesdays New York Times
blushed editorially over the "un-
holy notoriety" which Sike ton S
Main Streeters had given their
fair GU city saying IAN Amerl-
en- community was disgraeed, and
the old hideous crime of mob mur-
der had another advertisement :.
dozen armed men D.. . could pos
Silly have stopped the mob in its

! We are surprised at the Times
making such naive statement,
since experience has shown that
white men, armed or not, never
fire uron or engage in fight with
mob of white men who are in
tent upon lynching Negro.
Mere Naiyete
Zone wonders what effect" says
! the Times. "the tragedy will have
on the 1000 Negro residents of
Sikeston, NEST of whom must bye as
law abiding and selt-respeeting az
their white neighbors. What does
it do To the $500 white people
who did not act with the mob but
who are contaminated by this
abuse of justice? What does it do
to school children, who ought to
r. taught to respect human rights?
The Times editorial lift these
questions up in the air, and pro-
badly had no intention of answer
ing them, 1t requires no magma
tion at all to WONDER what eff.
feet it has on Negroes. The eff
feet viii be same as ALWAYS.
We get sicker and sieker Of the
American hyu 'erlsy regarding
democracy, which, except for the
portions we FIGHT for and TAKE
when yea crowd us TOO far
and kick us around TOO -ard, we
get up on hind legs LIKE MEN
and Raise HELL. Eyes, these cow

What Does II D.?
What about those 800 whites
who were net in the mob? Tn
pnswer is easy: the 200 lynchers
we're undoubtedly cross section

generally a lawless element which
Is stldom or never preventative

Naturally, it would be a mighty

white people in it who were against
lynching and other atrocities
against the Negro, but even here

WASHINGTON, May 1872

clared. There are still some
kinks in the machinery and |
think there are still. some people
in the war production setup who
are not working entirely unset
fishly for the public interest, but
the major part OF that problem
has been licked" The committee
has been especially critical i'm
the past of the activities of some
dollar a year men.

people in the past Truman told
reporters, land we will continue
to stick pin, where that is need

can make some positive contri-

channeling its Investigations to-

The stocky little Missourian
said he regarded transportation
as the chief problem to be dealt
with Immediately, citing recent
official statements that war
goods were piling up at some
ports and even backing up at
factories because shipping was
lacking and interior transporta-

Duty in Army

HOOD RIVER, Ore, May Ia
P)-Lew Ayres, the war hating
Hollywood film actor who sacri-
feed his career, at least tenn
porarily, for his principles, came
out of conscientious directors
camp today to be indicted into
the Army.
The actor, who rose to prom
inence as a war embittered SOL
der in "All Quiet on the Wes-
tern Front" said his hatred Of
arms-bearing was unchanged.
He was entering the Army, he
said, because he lad been assur-
ed he would be assigned to medi-
cal duty, for which he had con-
siderable training.
Ayres rose early at Camp Wy
eth, 90 miles west Of here, where
he had been confined for two
months, and joined group Of
draftees here. They we're to leave
for Portland, Ore. induction
center, and eventually for 10
weeks Of training at some Army
cantonment.
Thus ended two months Of eff
fort by Ayres TO be reassigned,
period which lie spent with
some 100 other war DIRECTORS in
forest service work. clearing
trails. chopping down trees, and
occasionally fighting brush fires.
Ayres may be assigned 10 a
medical unit at once, but Harold
Herschner. Hood River draft
board chairman, said he believed
the actor first would have TO go

Whatever cleared the way. il
was certain Ayres had not alter

Fifth CoIumnists Use IS
Techniques, Report Shows
Study Of Proposonds is Made
by Two Philadelphia Doctors

among armed forces, melting
Goth against the government.
An effective way is extract
ing irrelevant and long dead
issues for current use. The study
cited as an example the call
ing up Of the American Revolu-
ton as a reason for distrusting
our allies. Magnifying religious
or racial issues by appeals to
intolerance or prejudice is a
common one.
AS for countering such tech
niques, the report stated:
mo matter how good pro-
duct may be il is still neces-
sary TO tell the people about ii
to propaganda 1t. In the
past of our nation and in its
present and ture there is
splendid material for truthful
propaganda
Morale, the Philadelphians
said, is built by self training,
self discipline, willingness TO
subjugate at least some part of
personal interests, keeping busy,
participation in a common pur-
pose and purging our thoughts
of purely material things.
They advocated also as NOR
ale builders more patriotic mu-
sic and pageantry, more festi-
walls and rituals dealing with
n tional ethics. The effect
would be to stir more robust
emotions.
They criticized intellectuals
who they said "look down their
noses" at such patriotic fervor

LONDON, May Is - up -
Adolf Hitler has sent $4,000
combat troops into Norway since
March despite the demands OF
the Russian front and has per-
suaded Vichy TO send almost
half a million tons of goods
largely war materia s-as well as
troops TO Dakar, French west

The said signs that the Nazis

said.
Shipping reports were said to
reveal that Vichy has been send

of troops TO Dakar from Mar

More than 100 cargo ships
have left the port, many Of them
closely supervised by the French
German commission, since Janu-

Domestic transportation diff
culties could be traced primar-
lily to the shortage of rubber, he
said adding that he had little
hope for any speedy alienation
of this lack. The Nation could
not expect to get substantial
quantities of synthetic rubber
much before the middle OF 1914,
he predicted.
The White House reported last
week that cargo ship construc-
ton was on schedule, with 40
vessels having been delivered In
the first 1870 days of 1912.

Proposed Changes IMAM
imOusly Adopted By

Effective Immediately.

s4l II ltf1a u - ~ t.iiaa. - eirfs
At a meeting of Milford City
Council held Tuesday evening in
City Hall, the HCity Fathers" unani-
mously agreed to the passage of a
stabilizing act, Immediately effect
i've, governing the prices to be
charged for city current.
The proposed changes in the
electric rates culminate over two
years of thoughtful research by
the committee of councilmen ap-
pointed by Mayor E. C. Evans to
study the local electric situation,
and while there are no drastic re-
ductions, there will be certain bus
inesses and industries which will
benefit by the changes.
Along with the changes were
series of recommendations, all of
which were also passed. T h
changes include: The single meter
system, elimination of the S25.00
fee on electric stoves,
(hitherto the city has betrayed this
charge.) The rates as adopted will
apply to each service and no group
ng of meter readings will be al
owed in order to obtain a lower
'ate; billing applies to each indi-
1idual meter.
