War Nursery
School Open

On Monday, April 10, the Halle
Q. Brown nursery school was
placed on a paying basis. The type
of the school has been changed to
one for children of working par
ents. If the mother is employed or
f the father works at night and
must consequently rest during the
day, children may attend the school.
Relief on a free basis was the phil
osophy behind the no-fee WPA
school.
Nursery school directors hope
that parents have recognized the
real value in the nursery school
training over the nine years it has
been in operation. The true values
they believe are these: professional
care of children of nursery school
age; medical care and attention
here in the building to check symp-
toms; the socializing influence upon
the child; training habits of sleep
ng, eating, health and play; nutri-
tious meals.
It is hoped parents will see these
values as against some inadequate
plan often made by parents for care
by individuals who have no lnowl-
edge of child health or child care
malnutrition, ringworm and irregu-
lar habits often resulting in dis
astrous results costing in the long
run much more in terms of money
and anxiety.
Hours are $3.50 a. m. to $50 p. m.
through Saturday. Three meals are
served daily plus cod liver oil and
fruit juices.

DENIES OPPORTUNITY
TO RACE SUPPORTERS

This great insurance company,
opulent and influential, powerful
and dynamic, having lived through
wars, panics and crisis after crisis,
since 1868, has a penetrating IN
derstanding of the plight and
rights of the people living in this
democratic nation. In its scheme
of operation it has nevertheless
snivelingly denied to the colored
people an opportunity to share in
its internal operation and develop
ment-
The Metropolitan Insurance
Company and other institutions of
kindred attitudes disclose a clear
cut reason why the colored Ameri-
can is impoverished and fettered in
a land Of opportunity. The attitude
of this institution is emphasized
and scored because of the tremen-
dous amount of money that it re-
ceives from the colored people. This
revelation, while not unique and
novel, glaringly exposes, once more,
the cruel and iniquitous system
that vitiates the efforts Of the col
ored Americans to advance them
selves and their offspring.

NOW IS THE TIME
TO CHANGE POLICY

There was a time in the history
of Metropolitan, during its lean
days shortly after the Reconstruc-
ton period, when it was eager to
write insurance upon US. Our
money aided and abetted it ITO
emerge stronger than ever" We
were one Of the bridges that carried
it over the rocky seasons, but we
are almost always forgotten when
the disasters have been defeated
and destroyed. The Metropolitan,
with unlimited facilities for gath
ering facts and admitting that it
is ats plain duty to those people
to fulfill their Dreams" must COM
prehend and understand that the
colored American, outside of pay
ing his insurance premiums, is also
paying his taxes to finance the war
and is shedding his blood to help
win it. II there was ever a time
when the great institutions in
America should change their en-
ployment policies, then now is the
appointed hour.
The Metropolitan, celebrating its
18th anniversary, would do a grand
and noble thing If 1t would let down
the bars and not only employ col
ored agents to collect the millions
of dollars from their own people,

Supreme Court
DenOunCes His
Conduct Of Case
BY DAVID SENTNER
Detroit Times Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON. March 2.-The
public rebuke directed by the
United States Supreme Court
against William Power Maloney,
special government prosecutor. in
setting aside the conviction of
George Sylvester Viereck, former
German propaganda, today was
expected to have a vital effect on
the mass sedition case pending
against "a defendants.
In denouncing Maloneys con-
duct of the Niereck case. as arous-
inc passion and prejudice" the
Supreme Court stated that while
a prosecutor may strike hard
blows he is not al liberty to strike
foul ones. -
CHARGE AGAINST VIERECK
Viereck was charged with vio-
lating the foreign agents registra-
ton act.
Maloney also has been under
scathing criticism by members OF
Congress for his conduct of the
mass sedition case. in which Vie
reck is also defendant.
II also was claimed that Ma
loney had insufficient evidence
against some Of those indicted.
A KICK UPSTAIRS
Maloney recently was promoted
TO the Job of chief of the trial
section Of the criminal division OF
the department of justice. His
critics interpreted the move as "a
kick upstairs" 10 remove him from
the sedition case.
Reversing OF the Viereck con-
viction by 5 to 2 decision was
further seen as an indirect blow
at the New Deal In which the
fortnight criticism Of one Of its
was without precedent
in recent Supreme Court history.
In upsetting the conviction, the
court ruled that Viereck had full
filed the requirements of the law
under which he was tried. He had
been sentenced to eight months to
two years In prison on each Of
three counts. charging him with
failing to disclose full information
on his activities as a paid foreign
agent previous to American entry
into the war.

REBUKEs MALONEY

In the opinion of the Supreme
Court, written by Chief Justice
Harlan Fisk Stone. Maloney was
rebuked in this caustic language
"As the case must he re-
manded to the district court for
further proceedings, we direct
attention to conduct OF the
prosecuting attorney which we
think prejudlced petitioners
right to a fair trial, and which,
independently of the error for
which we reverse, might well
have placed the judgment of
conviction In jeopardy.
I'm his closing remarks TO the
jury he INDUCED In an appeal
wholly irrelevant to any facts or
issues In the case, the purpose
and effect of which could only
have been to arouse passion and
prejudice.
AT a time when passion and
prejudice are heightened by
emotions stirred by our partici-
pations In a great war, we do not
doubt that these remarks ad-
dressed to the jury were highly
prejudicial, and that they were
offensive TO fine dignity and good
order with which all proceedings
in court should be conducted.
QUOTES ARGUMENT --
Justice Stone quoted from
Maloney's closing argument the
following. As designed to arouse
passion and prejudice;
''In closing. let me remind you,
ladies and gentlemen. that this
l. war, This IL war, hard, cruel,
murderous war. There are those
who. right at this very moment,
