American Farmers
Insurance Company
Is Fair Concern

It has come to the attention of
W. B. Walker, St. Paul insurance
salesman, that some people in the
community have confused Ameri-
can Farmers Mutual Insurance Co.
with The Cooperative Life Insur-
ance Co., who has refused to ac-
cept Negro applications for insur-
ance, upon the recommendation of
DR.. Frank Hirschfeld of Mime
apolis.
American Farmers Mutual is an
automobile insurance company,
only, and has always dealt with
Negroes fairly and with no regard
for race or color, writes all policies
on the same basis with the same
rates, depending only on the
amount of coverage desired by the
car owner.
Several years ago, when a bill
was introduced in the state legisla-
ture, which later passed, to protect
Negroes from discriminating auto
mobile insurance companies, Amer
lean Farmers was the only COM
pany in the Twin Cities found to
have positively no discriminatory
policies. AS a result an agency,
was set up by The Associated Ne
gro credit union to solicit members
for the American Farmers Co. w.
B. (Dad) Walker became a solicit
tor then for this company and has
since become an agent for several
other companies writing various
types of policies.
Mr.. Walker said this week,
American Farmers is fair to the
letter, with all their policyholders
and agents, regardless of race,
creed or color and it is unfortunate
that it should be confused, even by
a few, with a company practicing
the policies used by Cooperative
Life"

FDR ASKED TO RECEIVE
COMMITTEE PRESENTING
STATEMENT TO NATION"

Washington, D. C.-In a tele-
gram to President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Walter White, NAACP
Secretary, requested this week that
a committee be received to present
the Statement to the Nation
adopted by the Emergency Confer
ence on the Status of the Negro in
the War for Freedom called by the
Association at Detroit, June SO.
The Statement, a powerful docu-
ment which calls upon the Presi-
dent, as Commander-in- Chief with
full power to end discrimination
and segregation in the armed
forces, to "use that power now,"
and which states that by the con-
tinued exploitation of racial con-
cepts and the degrading of the Ne
gro democracy remains a wordy
fiction rather than a working fact"
was adopted by vote of NAACP
delegates from 80 states in the final
session of the Conference Saturday
afternoon, June 5.

Petty Thieves
Rob Doctor
Weber's Office

The office of DR.. Earl S. Weber,
1873 E. Sixth street, was robbed
over the weekend by petty thieves
who took between forty and fifty
dollars worth Of pennies, half
carton of cigarettes, and several
hundred Raleigh cigarette coupons.
The providers entered the office
via fire escape and apparently knew
that the money was there since
none of the other offices in the
building was robbed. They ram
sacked DIR. Weber's desk and medi-
cine cabinet, but ignored valuable
instruments and gold that was
there.
DR.. Weber called detectives who
took fingerprints which may lead
to the apprehension Of the thieves.

The NAACP has submitted to
the Department of Justice the re-
port of an investigator Immediately
dispatched to the scene.
The NAACP report revealed
these findings:
The transportation situation is,
and for long has been, a rasping
issue. Separate buses are oper-
ated for white and Negro soldiers,
in the ratio of about one for Ne
groes, six for whites, and this de-
spite the fact Negro soldiers are
approximately 40 per cent of the
camp personnel. The taxicabs in
Hinesville (nearest town to Camp
Stewart) refuse to ride Negro SOL
diers.
There is high resentment among
Negro soldiers of the Nazi-racial
attitude of the white officers in
command. Interviewed Negro Of
fcers and enlisted men all insisted
that the situation could not be rem
edied so long as they remained
under command of Colonies Gross
and Ochs, both of German extrac-
ton, and General Spiller, who was
characterized as being definitely
in sympathy with the whole policy
of discrimination"
Negro MP's are without author
ity. Negro soldiers and civilians
resent this, and resent that all MP's
stationed in Savannah are white,
even those designated to patrol the
most thickly settled Negro areas.
Recreational facilities for Negro
soldiers are glaringly inadequate.
There are no provisions made at
all for the recreation of Negro Of

ficers. Fifty persons crowd out the
Negro USO. The Negro service
club has a total floor space cover
age of 100000 feet. Contrasting
ly, white officers have a service
club; the white USO is a spacious
two-story building; white enlisted
men have a service club with floor
space measuring 350x500 feet.
Meager facilities are provided
for treatment of Negro soldiers af-
flicted with venereal diseases. White
civilian nurses in the camp hospital
have refused to handle Negro pa
tents, and in Savannah there is
only one prophylactic station for
colored soldiers.
In two known instances, Negro
soldiers have been kicked by white
officers. On one occasion the Of
ficer was not identified; on the
other, the officers punishment was
to be transferred to another post.
Contributing also to the tension
which resulted in the violent out
break of Thursday, the Investigator
pointed out, were numerous other
factors. Relations of Negro SOL
diers with local law enforcement Of
ficers have been generally bad.
Racial segregation signs were
posted on toilets at the prison
stockade "a Negro officer reports
he was brusquely asked "Can't you
read?" when he used a toilet
marked "For White Only"). Negro
officers generally are subjected to
unnecessarily humiliating treat
