REV. PECK SPEAKS
Speaking in the name OF national
unity, the Rev. Peck told the audi
ence that This is not an invasion
OF a white community by Negroes
Negroes are already living in the
community and the very fact that
the gentleman here tmeaning Buff
ts) has said that almost so per cent
Of the school attendance is colorcd
proves that Negroes are not invad-
ing a white community"
Bufta then asked Rev Peck DO
you favor Negroes living in white
communities
In a democracy" Rev. Peck
answered, there is no such thing
as white and colored communities
because all peopl in a democracy
should live in peace ami harmony"
AT this point the meeting was ad-
journed without taking any action
on Buffs's plea that the council give
his group a fair consideration like
you did the Negroes"

At 2:30 Tuesday afternoon the
council and the mayor met for the
hearing, flanked on one side by
Buffs and his supporters and, on
the other by an orderly representa-
zion OF Negro citizens,
Buffa weakly defended the
whites for their stand against Ne
gro occupancy and offered alternate
sites for projects In an effort to
put the mayor on a spot Butfa re-
peatediy asked him if he favored
Negroes and whites living in same
neighborhood or if he would change
his decision if another site were
found. But the foxy mayor evaded
both questions.
Buffa- Then asked mayor il
he thought he was being fair to the
whites in advising the housing COM
mission to designate the project for
Negroes

Police Gazette MAY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. CUP)-
Publisher Horace H. Roswell OF the
National Police Gazette today con-
tinued a battle to retain his maga-
zines right to a second class mail
permit. The post office department
charges that the publication is OBJ
scene.
The Police Gazette was founded
in 1845, and has been devoted dur
ing its life to chronicling the lives
of prize fighters, other sportsmen,
and the stars of stage and screen,
and to reports on crimes culled
from the files of police departments
throughout the world.
Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker recently cited the magazine
as obscene and yesterday William
c. O'Brien of the post office depart
ment solicitors office offered the
August, September and october is

charge. He referred specifically to
grille and leg art pictures, sex crime
stories and certain advertisements
which he claims pandered to the

Pima Son Returns
For 3O-DayV Visit

Horace Pima, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. G.. Pima of Calexico who was
aboard the Lexington during her
history making part in World war
No. 2, arrived nome this week for
a 30-day visit with his parents,
The sailor was not heard from
for long time after the Lexington
was bombed at sea. Even when
many of the survivors returned
home after the Lexington finally
reached a United States port, Mr.
and Mrs. Pima still had no word
from their son. Their anxiety was
relieved when Leroy Patton of Ell
Centre, also on the Lexington, told
them he saw their son after the
disaster of the Lexington.

Board Votes TO
Continue Course

Since las men and women have
been graduated from the defense
training course at Central Union
high school, the advisory board of
which w. A. Tondro is Chairman,
decided Tuesday evening to continue
the course.
Some difficulty has been eXper-
fenced in the last few weeks in
keeping the course enrolment above
20, but inasmuch as all graduates of
the course are placed in well-paying
jobs and demand for the work is
expected to increase the course will
be offered this fall.

"Big Fight On
Hand" >>Agronsky

"The American people must get
fought in order to lick the Japa-
nese."
Martin Agronsky former NBC
foreign correspondent who return
ed recently from General Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters in Aus
tralia, gave this warning to the
Department Commanders and Ad-
jutants of the American Legion
at their Annual Conference in In
dianapolis on November 16.
He spoke as an eyewitness of
the Spanish Civil War, the Nazi
onslaught into POLAND, Greece, Jul
goslavia, as a news commentator
in Ankara, Turkey, and as one
who covered the sweep of the Japs
clear down on the Solomon
Islands. Millions of Americans
have heard Agronsky on the NBC
short wave broadcasts from the
war zones in the past 21s years.
We've got to get tough in or
der to lick the Japanese" Agron-
sky contended. ITS not going to
be easy, as we have to fight our
way back every incn over the land
the Japs have taken since Pearl
Harbor. Americans must recog-
nize that fact"
He derided the idea the Japs
were supermen, or were determin-
ed to die fighting.
But they are a fanatical race"
he said, "And that is why they
are putting UP such terrific fight.
American can lick them only when
its people get tough enough to
match that tremendous fervor of
the Japanese. Each of us must
get fighting mad. We must not let
these little gains lull us into a
sense of false security"
Agronsky is now connected with
the International News Service.
Since his return to American
shores after Az years overseas,
he has registered for the draft,
and expects to be called into mil
ttary service soon.

Navy Yard Proud
Of Army-Navy E

In a simple but impressive cere-
mony, the Navy Yard at Bremen
ton received the Army-Navy "E''
award on Saturday, Dec. 5.
Vice Admiral Frank J. Fletcher
presented the flag, which was re-
ceived by Rear Admiral S. A. Taf-
finder, commandant of the navy
yard, and said. To-day we have
seized the initiative from the
enemy. But that doesn't mean
we can relax. Now more than
ever we must produce more arms
and ammunition and planes and
more ships to carry them to the
frot.
Every new ship that goes down
the ways and every old one that
you refit for action is a tribute
to your loyalty, and their victories
will be your victories"
Percy p. Dolan, a veteran lead
man at the yard, replied for his
fellow workers:
81 understand we've been award
ed this because the people in
Washington think we've been do
ing a good job" he said with
homely simplicity. But we've
got to keep on doing a good job,
earning new star every six
months to keep it.
Labor thinks it may be neces-
sary to increase the size of the
flag to make room for all the stars
We earn in the future.
eve must do better than our
best and get our ships out on
time so we'll always have stars
in our flag instead of the rising
sun.
81 am proud of the yard and
proud of the award and | know
it will serve as an inspiration to
US ALL"
