aGiornale p'Italia,' Mussolni has
recently been in Sardinia as pre-
palatory sep to his new "opefa-
ton" That news paper openly
fints that Niehy will soon receive
an official Mussolini blackmail de-
mand for eeding this territory to
Italy. Couup. and weak kneed
Niehy rulers SO far are silent, with
Hitler holding a gun at their fore
head in the north and Italy pois-
ing a stilet,e at their spine in tie
south.
Germany doubtless is using this
opportunity not SO much for the
sake of Italy as for IA bargaining
point for her own for ,hcomng de-
mands from France. Laval is at
bay between two Fascist bandits
and the French people, Musso-
lini claims that he needs this
French territory in order to cor
rect badly fixed historical borders
Maybe Ethiopia's age old horders
were also badly fixed" But we
are not so gullible as to think that
incorrect borders are at the bot
tom Of this deal Nice, Corsica
and Tunis are excellent stepping
stones on which tie two aggres-
sors could trip more easily to
North Africa. And this is the
kernel Of tie whole question of
the Fascis S turning the heat on
France in this particular affair.
Following closely ON the snal-
ching Of the great island of Mad
gascar out of imminent danger, at
the present moment stands the
qaes ,lon of protecting West In
dian Martinique from coming un-
der the control Of tive Fascists and
being used bV them as a way
point and fueling station in their
scheme to gey 4 foothold in the
western hemisphere.
The war in IT,, orient has NOV
Cd to the very gates of India, that
Jewel which both occidental and
orieayal aggressors eovet. Con-
sequently the defense Of India,
, especially through the eastern
landgate and the border of Bur
ma may soon occupy the center
OF the stage Some Indian lead
ers have declared that India Will
resist aggression, be it from east
on west. 1t Is to be hoped that
the Indian people will see the Wis
dom and self interest in this posi-
ton of their leaders.

Door implications
WASHINGTON, June o. How
important freedom is to Amefi-
cans can be traced to the grow
ing interest manifested by all II
this war. How priceless such
spirit reflects itself in the hearts
of men can be attested by the
thousands of Ieeeased veterans Of
War !, whose graves along witt
that of the Unknown Soldier, were
duly decorated with flowers ant
wreaths on Memorial Day,
These duties undertaken by the
the living. However soul-seryer-
ing they become, fully symbol
ize the will of Americans every
where to recognize the matter
of freed m with no backdoor
implications; to respond In the
open to the demands required
of us by freedom; to assemble
prOgrams-and even to resolve
to die for it.
But these things, though senti-
ment-producing they may appear
represent the foundation upon
which our great nation was built
and now survives.
To bring the record with respect
to the proposition up to date, we
must review our entire war effort
otjec lively and subjectively to re
pair all weakness wherever visible
through the miscroscope of public
opinion.
One of the most undemocratic
policies in our National life,
rendering unWholesome affects
en- the Negro. is the refusal OF
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson to demand appointments
or Negroes in America to the
10000 war price rationing
branches of the Office of Price
Administration.
So disturbing is the vital issue
that Mr., Edgar G Brown, Direc-
tor of the National Negro Coun-
ell, brought the facts out in the
open in addressing a Mass meet
ing here Sunday. Mr.. Brown de-
clared:
President Theodore Roosevelt
once said: The finger that is

The National Negro Council Di-
rector accepted the fact that the

Negro alone has been neglected
in these matters.

LAKELAND, Fla, March 30
Pitcher Louis tBuck) Newsom of
the Detroit Tigers may be purchased
by the Washington baseball club
today, it was revealed by General
Manager Jack Zeller of Detroit.
Il have just talked to Clark Grif-
fifth on the phone" said Zeller, "and
he has until 10 O'Clock tonight to
make up his mind. That's the
waiver deadline and expect Griffith
to take action before that time"
A persistent holdout, Newsom said
he had offered to take a one third
cut In his $4,000 salary of last sea-
son. The Tigers have offered him
an s11,O 900 contract for 1912, based
on his winning only II games and
losing 20 last season after winning
d games and losing S in 1940
There are three possibilities for
Newsom, said Zeller. Washington
and the st. Louis Browns have re-
fused to waive on him If Washing
ton doesn't take him the Browns will
be offered the chance. If neither
wishes to purchase him Newsom will
leave for home tonight"

take is ridiculous" fumed NewSom

Convicted Nozi Spy Kills Self

According to report from Ben

ever, on the creation in the bill of

home He appearers to be in con-
siderably better shape than last
season.
Newsom berated Griffith and the
Browns for refusing to grant waiv-
ers, thus blocking deal between
Detroit and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Washington thus is given the first
opportunity to purchase Newsom un-
der waiver rules.
There is possibility of the Mats
purchasing Newsom solely for the
purpose of trading him for more
sorely required infield material, al
though several weeks ago Griffith
admitted he would like to have
Newsom. He could win for any
body if he gets himself in shape"
said Griffith.

District Recreation Bill Passed
In Senate by Unanimous Vote

Center Department and the District
Fairgrounds Department whose
services heretofore have been rated
satisfactory, shall be retained by
the new board.
On motion of Senator Burton, Re-
publican, of Idaho the Senate struck
out a section that would have eS-
tablished as permanent policy the
plan or system now in effect for the
administration, operation and con-
duct Of recreation facilities in use
by the Community Center and Play
ground Departments.
Omitting the section merely leaves
to the Recreation Board the max
ing of regulations and the deter
mination of the plan or system for
administration Of facilities.
The House, which passed the bill
originally last year, can either ac-
cept the Senate changes or ask for
a conference with the Senate. In
either event, today's passage by the
Senate is expected to result in final
enactment within a few days.

Supreme Court Gives
States Broad Powers
To Curb Picketing
Ruling Places Bon
On Even Peaceful
Demonstrations

A sharply divided Supreme
Court today gave States broad
powers to curb picketing, laying
down the rule, in an opinion by
Justice Jackson, that "a State is
not required to tolerate in all
places and all circumstances
even peaceful picketing by an
individual"
Paradoxically, 1t was in one case
in which the picketing was held to
be lawful that this principle was
enunciated by Justice Jackson.
whose views were challenged in an
opinion by Justice Douglas in which
Justices Black and Murphy joined.
In two other cases, State courts
were held to have acted properly
in enjoining the activities of unions
in publicizing labor disputes. In
one of these, the court divided five
to-four to uphold a Texas State law
which restricted picketing to the
area Of an industry within which
labor dispute arises.
Labor Board Is Sustained.
In another the court upheld a
Wisconsin Employment Relations
Board order directing a C. I. O.
union to stop mass picketing and
other specified activities in connec-
ton with strike. The court was
unanimous in this case, in which
the decision was in line with an
earlier ruling on the Wisconsin
labor peace law.
In another labor decision today
the court voted. 8 to l, to uphold
a Labor Board contention that the
National Labor Relations Act pro-
hibits company and union from
entering into closed-shop con-
tract if the union had been as
sisted by any unfair labor prac-
tices" by the company.

drew the fire of his colleagues. was

Warrant Officer Promotion.
AS the committee took up proposed
legislation to permit promotion of
warrant officers to commissioned
rank, Navy Department spokesmen
and witnesses representing a group
of warrant officers disagreed over
its terms.
The disagreement centered about
an amendment proposed on behalf
of the warrant officers by Repre-
sentative Boland, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, who asked that in pro-
motion of any warrant officer up to
the rank of lieutenant, his assign
ment be restricted to his warrant
speciality unless an emergency re-
