Highways Crowded
With Early Anglers
Nearby Lakes
Get Crowds
On Opening Day
By DON GILLIES

Detroit decided 10 take few
hours of today and go fishing,
war or no war. AT least that S
the way it looked from the
appearance of highways leading
out of the city shortly after mid
night for today's opening Of the
bass and bluegill season.
Because of seven-day work
weeks ard tire rationing, the ma
jority of anglers headed for
nearby lakes prepared 10 return
in time for work today, with high
hopes of a nice string of bass for
the evening meal.
Many factory workers on the
midnight shift left right after
work.
The weather was right and
prospects OF good fishing awaited
what may prove 10 be the greatest
opening throng in the states
history.

WHAT A CATCH.

Dom DiMaggio turned in a
supernan leaping one-handed
catch off Rudy York that was even
more spectacular than the dance
around-the-flagpole catch which
Joe DiMaggio made off Doc
Cramer during the Yankees re-
cent visit.
And, this Wagner person pitched
a three-hitter.
That's three horse train parlay
for you--Williams' homer, Dom's
catch and Wagner's chucking.
AS a result the Red Sox stored
away two victories in two starts
in this series with the Tigers, put
ting the Sox ahead eight TO three

other again today in the third and

NAACP Drive Closed
With 638 Members

The NAACP campaign closed
last week with 638 members, 38
members beyond its goal. This
has been another very successful
year, DR.. Penick said in compli-
menting the work of the member
ship committee. 81 am very proud
of the work of this committee, and
of the membership who responded
so enthusiastically. Their response
is splendid tetinony to the fact
that they are 100 per cent behind
the NAACP. And now that the
campaign is over we are ready
to push forward our constructive
program.
Mrs. v. L. Penick, chairman of
the membership campaign is out

will make her official report. 1t
is interesting to note for compare
tive purposes, that Minneapolis
closed it's membership campaign
at 459, and st. Paul, with much
larger population than Seattle, at

take the lead in the Northwest.

Negro Appeals
Conviction By
All-Negro Jury

WASHINGTON An Arkansas
Negro who once successfully pro-
tested against his indictment by an
all-white grand jury, appealed to
the Supreme Court complaining
that subsequently, he was indicted
by an all-Negro grand jury, which
he commended was equally unfair.
G. c. Haraway, the Negro, was
charged with grand larceny in con-
nection with appropriation for his
personal use of food supplied pupils
of the Howard County (Arkansas)
Training School of which he was
principal.
He was tried on the first indict-
ment and sentenced to five years
in prison. The State Supreme
Court set aside the conviction be-
cause of exclusion of members of
his race from the grand jury.
Then a special all-Negro grand
jury indicted him. At the second
trial Haraway was sentenced to
two years in prison and the State
Supreme Court upheld the con-
viction, saying he had no more
right to complain than a white
by an all-white grand jury.
Haraway's lawyers, however,
contend that IAN all-Negro grand
jury had been selected as SUBJ
terfuge to evade" Haraway's con-
stitutional rights and that he was
entitled "to a grand jury selected
from the entire district without
discrimination"
at was highly improbable, If
not impossible" the attorneys said,
"by chance and without discrimin-
alton to have selected an all-Negro
grand iury."

surely be the first to be fired.
That Because we are Negroes, we
must remain on the narrow ridge
of economic survival, only par
tally connected with our nations
remedies, but dumb victims of its
difficulties. 1t means that In
spite of our Presidents executive
order of no discrimination in de-
Tense industry, that this union
will continue to discriminate even
though it be at the cost of unity
and morale, factors definitely es-
sential to winning the war.
President Roosevelt in nearly all
of his public statements has stress
ed the Importance of four free
doms. Freedom of speech, freedom
Of religion, freedom from want
and freedom from fear. OF the
first two, Negroes are fairly well
covered. But being a working class
group, we can never enjoy free
dom from want until we are per-
mitted to enjoy the result of gain
full occupations: occupations re-
curing some skill, initiative, ex-
perience and special training. Free
dom from want is as inseparably
connected with freedom from fear
as is the sense of taste and sense of
of smell. We can never enjoy
freedom from want and freedom
from fear as long as the main wall
of race prejudice is impenetrable.
Industrial Legislation the Remedy
Why not try through industrial
legislation to put an end to this
unwholesome situation? Why not
martial our own strength together
with that Of our friends and SYM
pathizers? All of the CLIO. and
many AT. of L. labor unions have
spoken out unhesitatingly against
racial discrimination. Hear what

Stand By Your
White Countrymen

I ask you, colored people of the
United States, to stand by this
great mass of your white country
men in this imperfect democracy
of ours where, nevertheless. the
hope of democracy Is still clearest.
They need your help.
By all that you do, help them
to see and believe that white peo-
people need not be afraid in a
country whose citizens, whatever
their color, are equal in all ways.
Every time one of you conducts
himself, as so many of you do, with
honesty and magnanimity and dig
nifty, you are helping white men
and women toward a real democra-
cy. If you are aware of the strug-
gle in the average white person,
you will be patient with him as
he gropes toward a meaning of
freedom an dhuman equality. 1t is
difficult and unfamiliar road for
most white people, and they are
fearful because they are being
driven along it by the trend of
world events. You will help them
to reach the right end more quickly
if you determine that though you
will not cease to press for the
freedom and the equality in all
respects which are your rights
without doubt, yet that you will
assert those proper demands not
in a spirit of hatred and revenge
and selfishness but in a pirit which
by the very manner in which it
shows itself, proves you are the
equal of any human being.-Pearl
Buck To Colored Americans.

In the Northwest Enterprise,

an article captioned, NO BARS
AT BOEINGS. The next para
graph of the article, however, mod
flies the statement by saying that
the bars have been lowered, that
race men and women may now
apply for work at Boeing's at their
employment office, End and Union,
that a birth certificate will be
their passport, and likewise NAM
ing several Negro women who
are now employed there.
I write you to clarity the stu
alton for the intelligence of the
general public by saying that
while the bars have been lowered,
they are by no means down, and
that the Negro women named in
addition to several others who
have since been employed, are not
permitted to join the Aeronautical
Mechanics Union No. 751, but are
merely working on temporary per-
mits at the cost of $3.50 per
month. That several of these wo-
