Tire Users Backed
By Citizen Group
Robsion Tells Association
National Representation
Is Due District

Price ceilings on retreaded auto
mobile tires and doubled penalties
for persons found guilty of stealing
auto tires were endorsed last night
by the Arkansas Avenue Community
Association.
Representative Robson. Repub-
lican, of Kentucky, a guest speaker,
said he favored granting national
representation in Congress to resi-
dents of the District of Columbia
and said he could not understand
why citizens of other States should
have this privilege If the citizens of
Washington were unrepresented.
Oppose Decentralization.
The association opposed further
removals of Federal bureaus to other
cities from Washington. Members
said they opposed Temporary"
transfers because they felt such
transfers would become permanent.
Appropriation of Federal funds to
aid in the work of civilian defense
was requested. The association also
requested that Federal and local
officers be delegated to police public
buildings here rather than have that
duty performed by civilians.
The Commissioners, the Public
Utilities Commission and the Capital
Transit Co. were commended for the
establishment of elevated loading
platforms and safety zones at bus
and streetcar stops.

NAVY SAYS NEGRO DOCTOR
NOT FUNDAMENTALLY
SUITED FOR COMMISSION

New York.-The U. S. Navy's
newest, excuse for not giving DIR.
Harold ]. Franklin of Jamaica, N.
Y, commission as a medical off
GER in the U. S. Naval Reserve, is
mot temperamentally suited for
appointment as a commissioned
officer" the NAACP revealed this
week.
The information came in a let
ter to the Association from Secre-
tary of the Navy Frank Knox,
dated August %. This is the Sec
ond refusal by the Navy to accept
DR.. Franklin's application for a
commission which the NAACP has
protested.
"Does this mean," the NAACP
asked the Navy Secretary, chat
DR.. Franklin's persistence in at
tempting to enlist in the Navy of
his country at time when his gov
eminent is begging for doctors for
the Army and Navy, marks him as
'temperamentally' unsuited?"
The NAACP also pointed out that
there is a possibility that doctors
may be drafted because of the
great need for them in the armed
services. At that time, the Associa-
ton asserted, it is possible chat
white doctors will arise in protest
over what may fairly be called dis
elimination against them in the
failure to use Negro doctors"
Replying to Secretary Knox, the
NAACP expressed surprise and
amusement" that Temperament"
should be added to reasons pre-
viously given for refusing DIR.
Franklin's application. Last fall
the Navy turned down an appica-
ton for commission from the Ne
gro doctor after he had passed all
examinations given by the New
York examining board, saying he
did not have "a minimum of two
directly opposed molars in the
lower left arch"

TRANSITION

Once thought Time was life's measure,
But now l know Life measures time,
And if l give too much to leisure,
How shall hope for heights sublime.
l know that times as nothing now,
1t stands against the speed of things
With feet of clay, and heavy brow,
Events must fly, time has no wings!
Last night heard a mighty traffic roar,
AS each great noise sought to surpass
Some other din, music on the forte score,
Tonight, my songs are crickets in the grass.
Yesterday, viewed broad sepia scene,
An endless sea of faces hued as mine,
Few hours but many miles now intervene,
Today, faded fabric with colorless design.
Although I'm home again and very glad
Away from noise and callous modes, find
I miss too many things that drove me mad,
And feel pang at leaving all of it behind.
Somehow, I'm sure that time stands still,
IT is l who move, the hours are but slaves,
If can match time with distance, will
Forget whatever ills that time engraves;
For, believe in future, and fear no change,
l can't omit today, but keep eyes on
Tomorrow with its endless hope and range,
My days are steps to some far off horizon.

triotism."
In a mass meeting attended by
more than four hundred Negro and
white citizens in the Halle Q.
Brown House on March 8, 1941, the
Minnesota Negro Defense Commit
tee was authorized to bring a suit
against Governor Stassen and Col.
Stutz for their refusal to accept
Negroes in the Defense Force.
On June 7, 1941, Governor Stas-
sen held a conference with six
members of the Minnesota Negro
Defense Committee and ten other
Twin City Negroes, in his private
dining room in the State Capitol.
In this conference the Governor
was urged to issue an order that
would insure the acceptance of Ne
groes into the Defense Force. The
Governor blamed the discrimina-
ton on the Army officers at the
head of the Defense Force. On Au-
gust &c, in a mass meeting in the
Halle Q. Brown House, Governor
Stassen reiterated this same alibi
and said that he could do nothing
about it, even though he is the
commander-in-chief and the FEEDER
al government has nothing to do
with a state militia.
On August q, 1871, Lee K. Tur-
pin, st. Paul Negro, went to Col.
Stutz's office to enlist in the De-
tense Force. He was refused and
Col. Stutz gave the following typed
statement to Turpin and Frank L.
Alsup, and Rev. Clarence T. R. Mel
son, chairman and publicity chair
man of the Minnesota Negro De-
Tense Committee, II know of no or
der which changes the situation as
to the enlistment of Negroes in the
Defense Force" An injunction suit
was filed in the Federal District
Court in st. Paul on November ID,
1941, to restrain Governor Stassen
and high state militia officers from
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1942-09-04

discriminating against Negroes.
The suit was brought by Lee Tur-
pin, backed by the Minnesota Ne
gro Defense Committee and a bat
terry of lawyers including Jonas
Schwartz, Charles Halpern, R. A.
Skinner, all of Minneapolis, and
Thurgood Marshall, chief legal
counsel for the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, of New York City.
Governor Stassen tried to offset the
suit by issuing an order for the
establishment of two new COM
panies A. C. (All Colored) in the
Minnesota Negro Defense Force.
Turpin and his lawyers contended
that the proposal to set up sep
arate company was discrimination
and the suit is still pending.
In the meanwhile Governor Stas-
sen enlisted in the Naval Reserve
and announced that if he is re-
elected for third term that early
in 1913 he would resign from the
Governorship and enter active
service.
This action on the part of the
Governor makes it impossible for
the suit against him to be tried I'M
til after the duration. Early in this
year Governor Stassen appointed a
Negro, Samuel Ransom, St. Paul, a
major on his military staff, but the
Governor admitted that this ap-
pointment did not change the
status of the Negro as far as en-
listing in the Home Defense Force
is concerned.
To sum up, ladies and gentlemen,
this is the truly sad story of the
Negro and the Minnesota Home
Defense Force: An alien, who an
nounces his intention to become a
citizen can enlist in the Force, but
native born citizen, who happens
to be a Negro, cannot enlist in our
state militia!

To Our Mothers
By Richard Willis Session

Somewhere in England)
Somewhere the lights are burning
That our mothers left behind,
For those of US who went away
In battle to save mankind
Through the horrors and fears of every mile,
There isn't a one whose heart won't lift
With the memory of his mothers smile.
The springtime will come again
The world will see dawn
When this tragic nightmare will be over
And the dark clouds will all be gone.
But we have prayer that follows us

RACING FEELS PINCH

Racing, which had its most pros
porous year in AZ, will feel the war
pinch from now on. Tracks close
to large cities, with trolley and
subway facilities will flourish, but
those that are distant from popu-
lation centerS, like Saratoga, or
those that depend upon tourist
trade, as in Miami, Fla, will have
great difficulty in surviving.
Amateur golf gave up its maj or
Journeys this year. Professional
golf must follow suit in '43. We
don't see how tennis can stage any
Journeys except in the women S
divisions, and those only at close-in
clubs like Forest Hills. There
little chance of pro football con-
tinuing next autumn. Boxing will
flourish. despite its mediocre ga
talent. assisted by service fighters.
Basketball will carry ON with
younger players. Track and field
will stage meets during the APP
preaching indoor season, but after
that we can't see how it can con
tinue.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25.-
UP)-Forty-four of the nations
top senior football players today
celebrated Christmas far from their
customary firesides as they hur-
ried preparations for the annual
Shrine East-West benefit game
here New Years Day.
Down at the University of Santa
Clara, Coach Andy Kerr of the
East expressed himself as well sat-
isfied with the transfer of his
squads quarters from Berkeley to
the Bronco campus. The East has
not won a Shrine game since JAN
uary, 1887, when Ken Sandbach
of Princeton kicked a field goal
for a 80 victory and Kerr, BAN
hancock Colgate mentor during the
regular season, thought the bright
lights of Berkeley may have had
something to do with the poor
showing.
PERFECT SPOT
This is a perfect spot for our
purposes, he said when his 30
gridders from the other side of the
Mississippi first trotted on the San
ia Clara turf without the usual
large crowd of curious, well-wiSh-
ers and self appointed sightseeing
guides.
The West gaUnered, as usual, at
Stanford and buckled down to their
annual task of overcoming the odds
which annually favor the Kerr
men.
Paul Governali of Columbia de-
scribed by Kerr as the best COL
lege paSser' he's ever seen, has
grabbed the spotlight in the East's
workouts this far. Kerr placed CO.
vernali at tailback in a backfield
which included Les Horvath of
Ohio State at right half, George
Ceithaml of Michigan at quarter
and Steve Filopowicz of Fordham
at fullback.
EXCELLENT SHAPE
The entire squad is in Al con-
dition with the exception of Max
Kielbasa, Duquesne halfback, who
has a pulled muscle.
The fasteners gathered around
a Christmas tree this morning and
received individual gifts from the
Shrine football committee.
