on the kinds of tactics that will be

John Temple Graves writes three

NORFOLK, Va.-(S N S)-The
National Medical Association has
been given the "go ahead signal

Loses Suit For
Twenty Million
Against Ickes
Claimed to Be
Owner Of Rich
Oklahoma Land

WASHINGTOND G. - CAMP
The United States Court of Appeals
last week threw out of court the
claims of Jodie Ross, New York,
who was suing Harold IckeS, secre-
tary of the interior, over owner
ship of land in Muskogee county,
Oklahoma, currently valued at $20,-
100000, which Ross was claiming
as his own.
The two different versions of
Ross ancestry are given; one is
that he is the son of slave,
adopted by the Cherokee tribe
which held the disputed land. The
other is that Ross is the son of a
freedman living with the Chero-
KEGS.
Under the treaty with the Unit
ed States in 1866, the Cherokees
agreed to adopt their colored slaves
into the tribe. When the land allot-
ment was made in 1904, Ross as
a descendant of a member of the
tribe was given 70 acres.
ACCOIulIlS 10 Tic lIIUellOl OcpdI u
ment, he then sold so acres to W.
3. Eaton for $3.50 Eaton then
transferred the land to a corpora
ton which laid out town now
known as Forum. Ross claims he
never executed a deed in turning
the land over to Eaton. However,
the court held that his claim was
without merit and dismissed the
action.

On the basis of answers to its

AN ALL AMERICAN
Nothing could be further from
the truth, as these FBI agents were
told on both occasions of their
visits. The Negro, in fact, is the
most American of all Americans.
He has proved this over and over
again. He has no split Royalties, no
ties with other countries, no rela-
tives across the pond He is all
American, first, last and always.
Under no Interpretation of
the word could anybody read

now being pressed by the Negro

considered as an American and
be accorded all of the rights

of the tremendous task that lies
ahead. Any other Interpretation is
a lie of the vi1est sort.
THE REAL SABOTEURs
The charge of subversive activi-

who stubbornly deny black Ameri-
cans this opportunity. It is they,
not Negroes, who now are sabo-
tagging the war effort.
They are blocking the war effort
by seeking to create division and
disunity at q time when closed

"The poll tax system negates de-

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
On Monday, Tuesday, and We'd
nesday, June 90, 80, and July |. the
Atlanta Life Insurance Company
Home Office Staff was sponsor
and host to the first of a series
Of Supervisors Schools of Meth
DDS" The Atlanta sessions we're
ltaged in the offices of the local
branch office and brought togeth-
err host of outstanding insurance
minds who are engaged in all
phases of the field.
Presiding over the three day
meeting was Assistant Agency Di-
rector E. L. Simon, who despite his
comparative youth and period of
service in life insurance. proved
to be a master of the intricate fun
damentals and high points of the
business, and was, in effect, SYM
noilc of the new day of opportun-
ity for young men and women i'm
bued with the desire to render
outstanding service in this the
largest single field of commercial
enterprise among Negroes. At the
initial session which was bagun
at nine o'clock Monday morning
the theme of the school was very
ably summarized in the state
ment of detectives as outlined by
the venerable Howard w. Russell,
third vice president in charge of
supervisors, who advised. You
can't teach what you don't know
and you can't lead when you don't
60
The essence of Mr.. Russell's
statement from a COMPANY point
# view. was embodied in the OBJ
servat1on that the future Of the
institution of life insurance was
all in all involved with the neces-
slty of a constantly enlarged reali-
cation of the obligation of service
service to the thouS ands of policy
holders, beneficiaries. and others
whose lives have been blessed by
the existence of the life insurance
profession.
1t was therefore in keeping with
this spirit of the service obligation
that the Atlanta Life called to-
gether this corps of key represen-
tatives for the purpose of re-de-
filming, re- dmphasizing, and en-
larging the basic motives of the
business, that they might, in turn
go back to their respective dis.
tr1cts, and territories and impart
to the system at large. the new
conception of service to which
their activities must be commit
