The theory that we must oppose

whom. A military pact between
next door neighbors-say the Unit

different proposition than would be

difference is that the United States

Mediterranean area is of greater
long-term British interest than of
American interest, and that the

there is British. There is, in fact,
ruch to indicate that the battle
there will become more and more

In western Europe the situation

Railroad Pays
Minister $3.50
For Beating

New York, N. Y.-The Rev. ]. c..
Jackson, distinguished Hartford,
Connecticut, Baptist minister and
president of the New England Bap-
fist Convention, who was beaten
September 8 by a white passenger
on a train in the South, has received
a settlement of $3.50 from the
Southern Railway Company, the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People an
nounced this week. Thurgood
Marshall, NAACP Special Counsel,
and Arthur Garfield Hays of the
National NAACP legal committee,
handled the case which was settled
out of court. Expressing his ap-
probation to the NAACP for its
successful conduct of the case, Rev.
Jackson stated that he felt that
''the public was entitled to know of
the settlement"
The settlement was made on the
grounds that public carrier is re-
sponsible for the safe delivery of
its passengers to their destination
and the protection of such pas
sengers against harm inflicted by
fellow passengers if the proper au-
thorities have been duly warned of
the imminence of such harm.
The attack upon the 76-year-old
Rev. Jackson, occurred while he and
his travelling companion, Rev. S. A.
Young, were on Southern Railway
train en- route to the National Bap-
fist Convention at Memphis, Tenn.
Rev. Jackson and Rev. Young at
tempted to pass through a white
coach and Rev. Young was struck
on the face by ]. T. Hudson of
Decatur, Alabama, who shouted,
Don't come through here. Niggers
have been coming through here all
day and I'm tired of it" Young
reported this to the conductor. A
half-hour later Rev. Jackson was
brutally beaten by the same pas
senger. The plaintiff held that the
conductor had ample opportunity to
restrain Hudson or eject him from
the train.

Chicago NAACP AssGils
NdvY's Failure to Use
Truined Instructors

Chicago, Ill.-The failure of the
Civil Service Commission here to
appoint qualified Negro ground
school instructors to the Navy De-
partment was protested to Presi-
dent Roosevelt this week by the
Chicago NAACP.
In a telegram to the White
House the NAACP pointed out
that although it has been more
than a year since some of the in
structors completed their training,
not one has been assigned while a
number of the whites trained at the
same time are now teaching.
"The appropriate use of man
power requires" said the NAACP,
chat these men be assigned to the
highest and best use for which
they have demonstrated their
qualifications. Recently some of
them have been classified for i'm
mediate induction into the armed
forces because the Navy Depart
ment has not given them the as
signment for which they have been
trained. These men have no fear of
induction. They are loyal citizens
who want to serve their country to
the fullest extent of their ability.
It will be a great injustice to de-
prive them of their rights simply
because of racial prejudices. It may
mean the loss of the war for the
United Nations.
"The names of these men are:
James o. Lee, Robert F. Short,
Richard L. Farmer, Cassim M,
Pendleton, Douglas R. Turner, ],
W. Porter, Wilburn w. Barton,
Robert L. Cole, Clarence Stephens
and Frederick P. Blair, Jr. They
and we on their behalf ask your
intercession to the end that justice
and fair play be accorded them"

N.A.A.C.P. URGES SCRUTINY
OF LABOR CONSCRIPT BILL

Washington, D. C.-Because of
the nationwide concern among Ne
gro workers for the implications of
the proposed Austin Wadsworth
bill, Walter White, NAACP Ex-
ecutive Secretary, will testify Mon
day, March 20, before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, it was
learned this week.
The NAACP has urged a careful
scrutiny of the bill designed to
provide for the successful prose-
cution of the war through a system
of Civil Selective War Service"
The Austin Wadsworth bill will
permit the drafting of males be-
tween the ages of 10 and Ga and
women between the ages of 10 and
5O or possibly "a.
Before the committee, White will
restate the NAACP's conviction
that there is no need for a drafting
of labor until all available volun-
tary labor is utilized. In support
of the Associations stand, White
pointed out that in a poll of 5000
industries reported in the February
issue of Fortune, three-fourths Of
the war industry plants still refuse
to employ Negroes.
$50 long as a huge reservoir Of
workers in the United States is re-
fused employment because of tradi-
tional prejudices based on race, re-
Igion or SEX" White told the press,
"there can be no justification for a
CONSUMPTION of labor"
White said that he also saw in
this legislation, unless adequate
safeguards are set up repetition
of the vicious practices of the Work
or Fight Order of Provost Marshal
General Crowder during the last
war. At that time cities and towns
and rural communities passed COM
pulsory labor ordinances and by
this means met with partial sue
cess in keeping the Negro popula-
ton at its former work and some
times at pre-war low wages.

Ordnance Chorus
Thrills Lyceum
Theatre Audience

War plant workers can sing as
well as pass the ammunition" was
the consensus of opinion from the
2,10O persons who, Sunday, heard
the spring concert of the Twin
Cities Ordnance Plant chorus at the
Lyceum theatre, Minneapolis.
A chorus of $50 voices directed
by Clarence H. Russell gave one of
the finest "frst" performances this
writer has ever heard.
The first group included Krem-
ser's prayer of Thanksgiving
and Morning" by Speaks. Follow
ing was bert-Riegger arrange
ment of "Ave Maria" and the
beautifully executed Mallotte's
"The Lords Prayer" in which the
singing was superb.
Not till the chorus sang two
Gershwin numbers, the delightful
Summer Time" and 81 Got
Plenty of Nuttin," did the audi
ence really appreciate that they
were hearing unusual ensemble
singing. The latter song also fur
nished the chorus with it's first de-
mand for an encore.
The Russian folk song, "Volga
Boatman's Song" number, gave full
play to the chorus and it acquitted
itself nightly.
Climaxing the chorus program
was the first performance OF
Were on the job" a song dedi-
Gated to Charles L. Horn and the
Twin Cities Ordnance Plant work
ers. The composition was the
work of the versatile and pleasing
director, Clarence H. Russell, and
his talented wife, the composer
pianist, Olive Nelson Russell.
Grace Brennan, soprano, and
Mrs. Russell were the concert
soloists. Both offered numbers
which were enjoyed by the music
loving audience. Mrs. Russell &C.
companied the chorus at one piano
and the well-known Theodore Berg
man presided at the other piano.
The chorus was an inspiring
sight on the stage. Among its
members were 10 Negro employees
of the plant.

Storms Cause
Phone Company
Heavy Loss

Sleet, snow and windstorms dur
ing the week starting Sunday,
March IA, caused 100000 damage
to Bell telephone property, accord
ing to the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company.
The storm extended over the
southern half of Minnesota and
into Iowa, Wisconsin, South Da-
kota and Nebraska. Damage was
especially heavy in Minnesota,
where 1900 poles were torn down
and there were 1900 wire breaks.
During the height of the storm, SO
towns in Minnesota were totally
cut off from outside telephone
communication.
Telephone repair crews were
rushed from Indiana, Missouri,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska and
South Dakota to aid Minnesota
crews in the storm area. All to-
gether, about 700 men battled
blizzard conditions and icy roads to
get the lines up and working again
at the earliest possible moment.
Much more time will be required
to complete repairs on a perma-
nent basis because of the wide
spread destructiveness of the
storm.
The telephone crews concen-
trated on restoring long distance
service first because the wires are
so urgently needed for calls relat-
ing to war activities and impor-
tant business and personal matters.
An emergency radio telephone sys-
tenn was used to bridge a gap in
the long distance lines between
letters and Window, which were
badly damaged and took several
days to repair. While this system
was in use, a long distance call
travelled by wire to the point where
the wires were broken, by radio
telephone across the gap and by
wire again from the other side of
the gap to the destination. This
permitted carrying on long distance
service on an emergency basis
while the damaged lines were being
repaired.
Emergency repair work on long
distance lines has been completed,
but many town and rural tele-
phones in southern Minnesota
which were put out Of order have
not yet been restored to service.
This work is proceeding as fast as
weather and other conditions per-
NIT and will be completed for the
most part by the end of this week.
