"The (King's County Grand
Jury) report ignores the large per-
centage of law-abiding, church-go-
ing, homecoming citizens who live
in the Bedford Stuyvesant area"
said White. "The report also ig-
nores the great number of Negro
citizens in Brooklyn and in great
er New York who for years have
been calling attention to and beg
ging for action on the conditions
which produce such results.
IN any of these citizens live in
the area, not through choice but be-
cause, as Negroes, they cannot
rent, purchase or occupy homes in
other sections of Brooklyn. What
else can New York City expect
when some of its citizens, because
of race, are herded into ghettos,
victimized by bad housing and high
rents and over-crowding, denied
employment even in war industries,
and robbed of most of the incentive
which causes others not so re-
stricted to become decent citizens ?
Negroes do not want their
criminals coddled. They want
neither kid gloves nor a 'muss
'em up policy towards Negro or
any other kind of law violator. We
do want New York to face honest
ly the reasons why such criminals
exist. The situation is going to
grow worse instead of better until
New York and the country do an
about face and demonstrate by ac-
ton and not by words to these
youths that they, if they prove
themselves worthy, can expect the
same opportunity for advancement
which other adolescents are given"
The Kings County grand jury
report called the Bedford-Stuyve-
SAINT area a "cesspool of filth" and
made public the fact that whereas
4,435 cases had been reported to
the police, only 1,472 arrests had
been made. The grand jury report
blamed juvenile hoodlums who car
ry knives, and men who congregate
outside of bars and grills.
Mayor LaGuardia, while order
ing extra police into the area,
made it clear that he would not
condone any "reign of terror"
against the residents but that
young hoodlums would be cleaned
out.

Chicago NAACP
Gets Only $500
New Members
(See Editorial on Page q

CHICAGO.-The Chicago branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
just completed the most successful
campaign in its history with total
of $500 members and $14,823. The
workers are cleaning with the de-
terminationto reach a minimum of
$4,000 within the next few days.
The campaign was organized in
twelve divisions with Eugene o.
Stands as campaign chairman. Mrs.
Daisy E. Lampkin, national field
secretary, directed the campaign.
Mrs. Irvena Ming, new assistant
field secretary, assisted Mrs. Lamp
kin. An interesting feature of the
campaign was a Tag Day on which
$1,000 was secured in pennies,
nickels and dimes on the streets of
the south side of Chicago. Two
hundred taggers worked under the
leadership of the chairman, Mrs.
Louis B. Anderson, on a rainy, cold
day, beginning tagging at six
o'clock in the morning.
The most outstanding feature of
the campaign was the cooperation
given by the churches of Chicago,
many of which set aside a Sunday
service in interest of the NAACP.
Oscar C. Brown, successful manager
of the Ida B. Wells Homes, is presi-
dent of the Chicago branch. Charles
D. Murray, business man, is treas
urer.

you like the city life get a job
and make it your home for awhile.
M. E.: I need your advice again.
My soldier friend came home on a
furlough recently and I knew that
I still loved him. He also said he
loved me and he asked me to wait
on him. Since then I have met a
sailor who is very nice and sends me
gifts. He wants me to wait on him
as he will see me Christmas. Now
I don't think that I could be happy
with him. Tell me what to do?
Ans: 1t really wouldn't be fair
to the sailor to marry him when you
know in your heart that it is R. you
really love. Let time decide your
fate. Give R. the benefit of the
doubt. He has promised to marry
you give him the opportunity
to keep that promise by waiting on
him.
Beautiful: 1 am in love deeply
with a minister. He has been mar
ried but his wife went off and left
him. He is so nice to me. Just
what do you think about it?
Ans: Dear Beautiful .. women
in love are sometimes tempted to
take too much for granted and cast
aside the code of moral honor. Just
be careful save your love and
affection for this good man until
after he secures his divorce and you
become his wife. It's the only way.

Their fur creations make thrilling
news for the woman who Is buying
q new coat, as well as the one who
wishes to know how she should re-
model her present one.
A beautiful fur coat now appears
to be quite roony, but In no sense
bulky. You observe such features
as these: the softly rolled collar
opening revere fashion; the Chin
ese mandarin collar sometimes con-
tinuing in narrow border trimming
down center front Of coat; mar
row rolled-back cuffs; very deep
armholes and full sleeves; the
loose overall look in most coats,
with some exceptions, notably an
occasional fitted coat In Persian, or
an interesting new silhouette that
Is gracefully bloused above the

and semi-belted back.
Speaking Of fine furs, prices have
gone considerably above the GUS
tomary figures. It isn't the Short

that causes this, making the furs
more precious than ever. Typical
examples In the finer furs might in

for about $l059. AS against these
prices a perfectly stunning 80 inch

and new Silver-tipped raccoon

that while dresses are skinny, furs
have grown in proportion, at least
In the body, and this is an excel
