Woman Stricken
Discovered After
48 Hours Alone

Mabel Craft, 1851 Bryant Ave.
N, Minneapolis, is showing much
improvement in the Minneapolis
General Hospital where she was
taken Sunday night after being
found in her apartment suffering
from a stroke.
Mrs. Craft had been to the gro
Gerry store in the basement of the
apartment building shortly before
7 p. m. Saturday. She had not been
seen again until Sunday night be-
tween and 10 o'clock when a
neighbor, Mrs. Irene Harvey, be-
came alarmed. After receiving no
response from within and unable
to get in she called a maintenance
man to open the door. Mrs. Har-
vey had noticed that the Crafts
Sunday paper had not been taken
in and had been told by a neigh
Dor across the street that the
lights in the Craft apartment had
burned all night Saturday. They
were still on at that time.
When the door was opened Mrs.
Harvey and Mrs. Blanche Mason
entered the apartment and found
Mrs. Craft in the bath tub where
she had apparently fallen after be-
ing stricken. There were signs of
her having been nauseated and
leading to the belief that in her
weakened condition she had sat on
the side of the tub, sliding into it
after the stroke seized her.
Though she had been unable to
talk since she was found, Mrs.
Craft laughed aloud Wednesday
during a visit from her husband,
Monwell, who arrived in the city
Tuesday night after being notified
of his wife's illness which occurred
while he, railroad employee, was
out of the city.
Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson and
Mrs. Hattie McLinn of Parsons,
Kans., sisters of Mrs. Craft, have
arrived in Minneapolis and they
and Mr.. Craft are very hopeful
of a complete recovery.

Northern Pump
Claims It Will
Hire Negroes

W. M. Cordner, assistant to John
Hawley of Northern Pump Co.,
told Harry Gibson of Chicago, ex-
aminer for the Presidents Commit
tee of Fair Employment Practices,
here Wednesday that his firm will
Immediately begin to hire Negroes
for semi-skilled jobs. ...
Mr.. Gibson came to Minneapolis
this week from Chicago where q
complaint had been lodged against
Northern Pump by local citizens.
This firm has consistently refused
to employ Negroes.
In 1871, after C. W. Washington
of the Minneapolis Urban League
had protested the Northern Pump
practices to Washington, three Ne
groes were employed in unskilled
mental jobs. Three months ago
Cecil Adair, who had been en-
ployed there for a year, was dis
charged when he requested upgrad-
ing.
Hawley is a Texan and has
earned huge profits on the gun
mount which he manufactures for
the Navy. He startled this area
several months ago when he re-
ferred to French Senegalese troops
as n---rs over the radio.
1t is understood that the Urban
League office in Minneapolis will
refer the applicants to the plant. A
previous promise to employ Ne
groes by Cordner to a committee
from the Minneapolis Urban
League was not kept.
Mr.. Washington asked this news
paper to announce that he will be
glad to job applicants to Northern
Pump. The Minneapolis Urban
League is located at 240 South

Moore, who scored two of the win
ner's touchdowns and threw a 81
yard pass into the waiting arms of
Rem Nord, his running mate, who
was standing in the end zone in the
last second of the game.
Outplayed completely by the st.
Paul team in the first half the Mill
City champions came to life in the
early part of the third period, when
McMoore faxed beautifully to Rem
Nord and cut through the middle
of the Pilots line to race "a yards
for touchdown without hand be-
ing laid on him. Murray came back
and scored on a beautiful 33-yard
pass from Ray Christesen to Dick
Marschall. Taking the ensuing
kickoff the Tigers scored their Sec
ond touchdown in the last five Sec
onds of the third period when Nc
Moore took Wigdahl's pass and
travelled 48 yards down the side
lines to pay dirt, getting help on
Ron Larges' vicious block, which
injured Paul Kauff, Murray's CEN
ter.
Richard Howell, right-end for
the Minneapolis team, who was the
second Negro player on the field,
played good game both defensive
ly and extensively.
Several of the press box OBJ
servers rate McMoore one of the
best backs ever turned out in the
Mill City. His passing and open
field running leaves little to be de-
sired, they point out. McMoore is
the Northwest Golden Gloves mid
dleweight champion and last year
went to the semi-finals in the Chi
cago championships. He also is the
Minneapolis high school 220 hurdle
champ, and an outstanding basket
ball star. McMoore made 62 yards
in 10 tries at rushing.

Deferments
Continued From First Page

Being sent overseas is made up of
persons of draft age for whom de-
ferments have been obtained"
First of the four cases cited in the
subcommittee report was that of
23-year-old unmarried cipher and
code clerk. The committee said he
previously was employed as a theater
usher, chauffeur and insurance
agent.
Nothing indicates any previous
experience in code or cipher work,
yet he is awaiting assignment over
seas TOR outpost confidential service"
Man Is in 4-F.
The young man, however, Is in
AZ. The subcommittee comment
ed that lit would appear that his
physical condition would not Justify
overseas service any more than his
previous experience would justify
his present governmental activity"
The Costello group gave no fur
ther explanation for singing out
an individual who is In the one class
the subcommittee itself is asking
Government agencies to use as a
replacement pool.
Another case cited involved a a.
year-old, unmarried senior engineer
ing aide whose previous experience
or occupation is shown as that of a
checker of theater attendance, bell
boy, elevator operator and valet" In
this case, the subcommittee reported,
the Governments request for a con-
tinuation of the man in Glass 2-B
was rejected by a local draft board
and he had been placed in Ia.
Also cited was an 18-year-old un-
married Junior engineering aide who,
the subcommittee said, had less than
one years experience as a sheet
metal machine operator before he
entered the Government service.
although his governmental en-
ployment has likewise been less than
a year. commented the subcom-
mittee, "it is claimed that he is
necessary to the war effort and can
not readily be replaced"
The subcommittee considered "a
little more plausible" the case of a
senior engineering aide, 27, and un-
married, who was farmer and an
axeman on levee construction be-
fore he went into the Government.
The Government agency that en-
ploys him was reported to have OBJ
tanned his deferment in Glass 2-B
based on the Importance of the
project on which he is working and
because of alleged inability to re-
cruit adequate personnel"

Point Value Cut
Caviar, But
Price Is Same
By the Associated Press.


The point value OF caviar dropped
sharply today, but the money price
held firm at around 81 an ounce
for imported and 20 cents an ounce
for domestic varieties.
Caviar, which used to cost seven
points pound in red stamps, will
be only three points, effective Sun
day, with similar reduction in the
point value of fish roe. Usually
sold by the ounce, an ordinary tin
OF caviar thus will cost only one
point-the minimum of any rationed
ltems-though imported caviar is the
most expensive on the list.
Explained the Office of Price Ad-
ministration:
These items have been moving
slowly under rationing."
