Nelson Scores
PattOn's Attack
On us. Soldier

Speaking before a meeting of the
Workers Defense League in Min
neapolis on Sunday, Reverend C. T.
R. Nelson, pastor of the st. Paul
Camphor M e t h odist Memorial
Church, scored General Patton's
beating of a shell-shocked Ameri-
can soldier. Reverend Nelson
stated, however, that the incident
appears as a tempest in a teapot"
compared to the daily mistreatment
and abuse of Negro soldiers in
army camps throughout the length
and breadth of this country.
The following resolution was
signed by the Workers Defense
League and telegraphed to the
President of the United States,
Congressman Melvin Mas, the
War Department, and the House
Military Affairs Committee: In
view of investigation being con-
Quoted regarding Patton incident,
we urge that investigation be ex-
tended to cover all army camps in
United States and elsewhere
where segregation and discrimina-
ton are practiced against Negro
troops as recently again brought to
public attention by Alton Levy case.

While in the city he resided at
the home of Elks' District Deputy
Joseph B. Levy, 1886 4th Ave. So.
Questioned about the Elks' lead

Grand Exalted Rulers visit here

ness. The Elks of the Twin Cities
are honored to have our distin-
guished leader as their guest. His
visits are always encouraging and
offer to the Elks and Daughter

the fine principles upon which this
great organization is founded"

handed down its ruling after
studying testimony taken at hear
ings in September.
The contract between the rail
union and the railroads "is de-
signed for no other purpose than
to cut down the employment of
Negroes as firemen and to increase
the hiring of white persons in these
positions" the FEPC held.
Malcolm Ross, FEPC chairman,
said the contract limits the hiring
of fremen to "promotable men,"
and specifically designates Negroes
as non-promotable, which effec-
lively debars them.
The FEPC decision raises a le-
gal point which the railroad coun-
sci in September said would put
them "in the middle" and force
them to violate the edict of the
National Mediation Board (rail-
way) which approved the contract
FEPC ordered voided. The rail-
ways, under the congressional act
covering railway labor disputes,
are required to conform to ruling
of the mediation board.
The mediation board said the
FEPC ruling, which in effect chal-
lenges the boards authority,
would be studied" No other COM
ment was forthcoming.
The railroads, under terms Of
the FEPC decision, have the choice
of voiding the contract and defying
the mediation board, or conforming
to the existing contract and defy
ing the FEPC order.
The railways ordered to void
their labor contracts are the At
lantic Coast line, the Atlanta Joint
Terminals, Central of Georgia,
Georgia Railroad, Jacksonville Ter
minal Co., Louisville & Nashville,
Norfolk Southern, St. Louis & San
Francisco, Seaboard Air Line and
the Southern Railway.

The institution of Miss Ander-
sons grant was forecast in March,
1941, when the $4,000 Box Award
was presented the singer in Phila-
delphia. In her acceptance speech,
she stated that she hoped to use
the money "to enable some poor,
unfortunate, but nevertheless very
talented people, to do something for
which they have dreamed all Of
their lives"
In accordance with her wish, the
Marian Anderson Award is admin
istered by a committee composed
of the three trustees of the fund:
Alexander L. Jackson of Chicago;
Hubert T. Delany of New York;
and Mrs. Ethel dePriest of Phila-
delphia. This committee considers
all applications from young men
and women who fit the require
ments stated by Miss Anderson.
The amount of the annual award is
not fixed one but varies with the
requirements of the winner. The
Anderson Award is not strictly
limited to the field of music though
applicants in this field are given
preference. The prize is open to
both Negroes and Whites.
The selection of the annual win
ner is solely at the discretion of
the committee of three who decide
upon the fulfllment of the qualifi-
cations of the contestants and the
size of the grant. They reserve the
right to waive the award for any
year in which a suitable applicant
is not found.
Miss Anderson, who is currently
on her regular concert tour of this
country, her eighth under S.
Hurok's captaincy, has long had
the foundation of this award in
mind. The threat of present world
conditions, she feels, makes it i'm
perative that young, talented peo-
pie be encouraged to continue their
studies.
1--WE must not permit the war to
interrupt the development of our
young artists" Miss Anderson said.
while our country is fighting the
forces of destruction, we must con-
tinue to encourage youth in the way
of life which makes America the
land we love. Cultural and spir-
itual values should not be disre-
garded even in the midst of a crisis.
They are what we live and die fol"
Toward this end, the famous
singer plans to make the fund now
established the beginning Of a
greater one to which she will add
further gifts from time to time.

Coop Store Is

Seven families in August, 1941,
pooling so cents per family, a total
of $3.50, have as a result of their
foresight a cooperative grocery
which regularly today carries
$1,40O worth of merchandise on its
shelves.
The Sumner Coop. Store located
in Sumner Field Homes, 1901 Bry-
ant Avenue North, now has almost
300 families participating in the
savings to consumers the grocery
offers.
Possibly the only store of its kind
in any Federal Housing Unit in
America, the store has an inter-
racial board composed of white and
Negro Americans. Its patrons are
people of all races as well as its en-
ployes.
Wilmeth Bowen, shown elsewhere
in this paper, was a prime mover
in the establishment Of the store
and is store manager.
STORE INCORPORATES-WILL

In order to extend its service the
store recently applied to the Min

Sumner Coop. has been given
permission to capitalize at $1,000
and sell shares in the store fol-. $40

Shares are now being offered for

Washington, D. C. - Edgar ].
Brown of the National Negro
Council" who offices in the Chi
cago Tribune Building in Chi
cago, asked the abolition of the
Negro bureau of the owl Tues
day.
Brown charged at meeting of
the Senate appropriations commit
tee that the bureau was engaging
in Fourth term" political activi-
ties among Negroes.
Edgar Brown, former govern
ment employee and New Deal sup
porter, lost his job when reductions
in government relief and recovery
agencies were made.
He is reported now to be affili-
ated with The Chicago Tribune in
it's campaign against the FD.R.
administration. Brown "commutes,"
Chicago newspapers say, between
Chicago and Washington, appear
ing before various committees and
bureaus. His various appearances
always take on the anti-Roosevelt
flavor, as we'll as his newspaper
column which he sends free to sew
eral Negro papers.
The lobbyist gets more distribu-
ton to dailies via the Associated
Press than many leading Negroes
and interracial or Negro organiza-
lions. This is ascribed to the Chi
cago Tribune influence.
Brown brought to the committee
room tear sheets from a Phila-
delphia Negro newspaper and from
a national magazine showing a pic
ture distributed by owl of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt with Ellie
Lescot, president of Haiti, at the
White House during Lescot's recent
visit to Washington.
Senator Nye r., N. d., an ap-
preparations committee member,
said Brown cited the photo as ian
example of fourth term propaganda
distributed by the bureau" Nye
explained the committee took no
action on the complaint and could
take none, since the Owls request
for a supplemental five million dol
lar appropriation, now before the
committee, concerned overseas ac-
tivities exclusively.
Theodore Poston, chief of the
Negro news desk at owl head
quarters, said the picture referred
to by Brown was of a routine ma
ture, of the type taken "when the
head of any state visits the White
House." and that it was distributed
"only on request" Poston added
that % Negro newspapers, out of a
total of 248 in the nation, and one
magazine requested it.
