PRENTIS l. FRAZIER COMMENTS ON
PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS
BY PRENTIs 1. FRAZIER

The primary election is now in
the past and the results have
been fortunate for some and I'M
fortunate for others. l speak of
the Republican ticket and the Sc
lection made through the demo-
cratic process of the majority
rule. Some of us did not get
our choice, evidently some of us
did, but I feel that those of us
who failed to get our choice
should forget now our differences
and support the nominations on
the Republican ticket.
Yet I do not ask you to give
your support to the Republican
party blindly. Minority groups.
and especially the group with
which 1 am identified. should
watch every elector In his or her
administration, giving careful
consideration and attention to
what the electors shall do. Espe.
cially should we watch evidences

WIFE ATTACKED
JULY 6IS SOUGHT

A statewide search was insti-
tuted by Sheriff Harlan S. Cal
,lahan for Renton housewife
whose life had been threatened
by a man who attacked her July
6 and who mysteriously disap-
peared a few days later.
The womans husband, Elmer
S. Trowbridge, said that his
wife, Mida, of 1915 Windsor
Hills, Renton, left on a shopping
trip yesterday in the late fore
noon and failed to return home.
She had $40 with her.
Sheriff's deputies asked Seat
tie police and the State Patrol to
join in the search. They said Mrs.
Trowbridge had been the victim
of an attack July 6. At that
time, they said, she was warned
by the assailant that if she
talked" he would kill her.
The woman is five feet seven
inches tall, has blond hair, blue
eyes and was CARRIED in a slack
suit.

from the same fate. Launcelot
Johnson. 29-year-old Negro paint
er, was charged in Superior court
with rape and robbery. He had
robbed the daughter of money
after threatening both women
with an ak.
Johnson, who had been ques-
toned by Chief of Detectives c.
c. Fortner about dozens of Seat

of raping the Seattle mother, a
Mount Baker Park resident, last

No Negroes Among
Defrauders at Shipyards
in Massachusetts

BOSTON, July 5-According to
a report of the FBI, there were
no Negroes among the las work
ers who were arrested at the
bingham shipyards in connection
with the racket whereby these
workers were being paid for the
time which they did not work.
The FBI had nothing but great
praise for the many colored
workers at the shipyards and
their steering clear of the pres
ent fraud by white workers to
deprive their government of the
money that they did not earn.
This promises to be one of the
largest government swindles in
history, running into the million
dollar bracket.

There are marked points of
similarity between this staying

Mrs. Pritchow was killed at
night after she left a bus near
her home, 12455 Second Ave. S.
Her body was found in vacant
lot between the bus stop and
her home, a little more than a

Heberling confessed he slew

Recent examples in this COM
munity have proved that our peo-
pie are patient, and not given to
sudden violence and revenge. For
instance, on three occasions in
this community three to five Ne
groes have taken a wife away
from her husband by force and
criminally attacked her. We be-
lieve that in no other community
in the United States could such
an occurance have taken place
with scarcely any hostile COM
ment in the press or on the part
of the public.
Three Negroes in Seattle have
just been convicted of murder
and about 20 Negroes are await
ing trial on charges of selling
marijuana cigarettes.
The Negro has been a part OF
our population for more than
$50 years. Where the Negro has
devoted his time and energies to
legitimate lines of endeavor he
has proved an asset to his peo-
pie. There is no doubt that the
Negro population of this country
would rather remain here than to
go elsewhere. The civilian Ne
gro population here is very sman,
but when the number of crimes
committed by Negroes in this vi
cinity is considered, the percent
age is very large. A RESPONSE
bility rests upon the Negro lead
ers of this community to do their
utmost to create a discipline
among their own people which
will keep down these hideous
crimes. - Native Sons March is

Dear Sirs=
Our attention has been drawn
to the undemoeratic implications
of racial clauses in Restrictive
Covenants found in many Seattle
property deeds. We believe that
a mans right to own property
and to determine his place of res
idence is not right defined by
race; nor is it a right which
may justly be denied him by
those of temporarily more pow
erful race. other groups over
the country are likewise with us
concerned. We are in agreement
