An overwhelming number of

get and neglect them much as they
were relegated to the background
at Versailles They feel much as
did Dr. w E. B. Dubois in his at
tempt to win Negro recognition at
Versailles in 1918, that American
Negroes deserve and should have
seat at the peace table at the
conclusion of World War II.
WHITES AGAINST 1T
The question submitted OF both
races and the results based on
sampling of a crosS-section of the
nation were.
Yes: Negroes 80 per cent: whites
81 per cent.
No: Negroes 4 ner cent. whites
81 per cent.
Undecided: Negroes 7 per cent;
whites IL per cent.
Negro opinion polled on the queS-
ton showed that black Americans
are insistent that their race be Civ

affecting the nation, at least in pro-
portion to their numbers in the
total population.
Many expressed concern that

question before the delegations

| COLONIAL ISSUE CRITICAL
Possibly the greatest number felt
! that the colonial question has in

since the proclamation of the At
lantic Charter and since Negroes
make up the largest proportion of
colonials, they should be allowed to
present their viewpoints to the as

Poles Bring Out
Their Big Diary

We were introduced formally
and there were few minutes of
what might be called proper
reserve. Then we asked about the
big diary in which they keep the
Squadron's record. We had been
told before 10 make sure TO see il.
So what with our wanting TO see
IL and their wanting 10 show n,
il did not take long TO get ii out
and opened.
These diaries are kept in large
books roughly the size Of hotel
register. or ledger in country
store. The writing is done in very
precise longhand. its texts day by
day accounting for the activities
of the squadron. I wish l could
have read il but il was all in
Polish. II will make heroic story
II ever published.
Occasionally names are under
lined with crayon-red, yellow or
blue. One color means the pilot
has been killed; another he was
seen 10 bail out and another that
the pilot was wounded
After this We go TO see their
ships. They ask us if we want to
sit IN one.

bother, but I'm sitting IN a plane
before anybody can say "Stsnis-

One of the boys stands on the

the usual, familiar ones that you
get in any plane.
The motor gauges are the same
as on a cars dashboard and there
are the familiar flying instru-
ments, compass, altimeter. bank

Then there are the more COM

The Navy, in announcing the par
ticular campaigns for which clasps

manders may authorize the wear
ing Of clasps for armed guard,
escort, anti-submarine, for special
service such as service aboard a
minesweeper or supply ship. How

Uncle Roy's Corner
GIANT ORIOIN.


If you made visit to Central
America, or to the more tropical
parts OF South America, you would
find great difference in bird life.
You would hear birds utter different
cries and sing different songs than
we are. used to In this part Of the
world. q.
Not the least strange of those
birds are the giant oriolexr They
also are called "oropendulaa. They
are related to the oriolek of the
north temperate zone, but are much
larger. They may be compared in
size to crows, and they look some
thing like crows. Their feathers,
however, are mainly green, and that
Is one thing which sets them apart
from "the old black crow"
The nests of giant orioles are not
at all like those of crows. They
hang down from limbs, and many Of
them are from to feet long. Now
and then nest more than AZ feet
long is found.
The building of such a nest is a
work of skill. Large amounts of
grass, leaves and other material are
brought to the proper place and
woven together.
The female seems to do most Of
the work, but. the male flies back

Soldiers Are Churchgoers,
Bishop Leonard Finds
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 23.-Bishop Adna
Wright Leonard of the Methodist
Church, representing 81 Protestant
denominations on visit to Ameri-
can overseas armed forces, said last
night that "the American soldier in
the European theater of operations
is a churchgoer whose attendance
at services exceeded all expecta-
tions."
Bishop Leonard said that in a
three-day tour of American camps
in Britain he met hundreds of SOL
diers, and that in discussions with
them and various chaplains. two
questions were frequently asked:
What is going to happen to us
when the war is over?" and What
kind of peace will we have?"
Il told them both questions were
OF prime Importance to their Gov
ernment," Bishop Leonard said.
"The spectre of economic instability
must be banished from the soldiers
mind so he may carry on determined
and unafraid."
On his tour the Bishop plans to
confer with Army and Navy chap
lains in North Africa, Iceland, Lab
rador, China and India.

and forth with her, watching closely
while she gathers the nest-building
materials. Perhaps he gives her
directions and tells her not to make
mistake.
Seldom will a person find only ono
giant oriole nest in tree. These
birds like to live in colonies, and il
you see one. nest you are almost sure
to find at least dozen others close
by. r. ... =
Now and then a limb becomes
overloaded with nests and breaks of.
Then the oriole homes crash to
earth. Such an event has been re-
ported from Costa Rica, q little
Central American country, where
several broken nests were found
below a large dead tree. That tree,
however, had so nests hanging from
other branches at the time 1t was
studied. -t =.
In a neighbor country, Guatemala,
CANT oriole colony was found In a
tree 100 feet high. There were 1873
nests, an dali of them hung from
branches more than 10 feet above
the ground. One nest had a length
of 6 feet, and near the bottom of it
was nesting chamber" foot
wide
Giant orioles are safe from most
enemies, but they have their
troubles. Certain other birds, known
as rice grackles," like to lay their
eggs in the hanging nests. The
orioles keep chasing the rice grackles
away, but sometimes one of them
slips into nest and lays an egg
where another bird may do the work
of hatching.-

Cook Yawns as Jury
Returns Guilty Verdict
In Lower 13 Staying
Focing Death in LethoI
Chamber, He Quips
About Gas Rution'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, Oreg., April Bout
wardly unperturbed and joking
about my gas ration" Robert E.
Lee Folkes faces the prospect of
dying in Oregon's gas chamber as
the adjudged knife slayer of a Navy
ensign's pretty bride in lower berth
13 of a California-bound train.
The impassive 20-year-old colored
cook late yesterday heard a jury
find him guilty in the first degree
in the murder of Mrs. Martha Vir-
ginia James, 81, aboard Southern
Pacific limited before dawn January
%. He yawned as he rose to leave
the court and later in his cell
laughed with visitors, saying, WON
der if they'll have any trouble get
ting my gas ration?"
Prosecution evidence offered at
Folkes' trial was that he killed Mrs.
James when she resisted his efforts
to enter her berth.
The jury returned no recon-
mendation for leniency. Thus,
under Oregon law, the conviction
carried the death penalty.
For II hours and % minutes the
jury Of eight women and four men
mulled the fate of the cook.
Lee A. Doerfler, jury foreman, in
dicated that at no time was there
any doubt in the jury's mind as to
guilt or innocence, but that the de-
gree Of guilt was argued. Some
jurors held out for life imprison-
ment, he indicated.
Folkes will be sentenced next
Monday by Circuit Court Judge l..
G. Lewelling. Defense Attorney
Leroy Lomax said he would seek a
new trial, and failing in that, would
appeal to the State Supreme Court.
