sive to capture the Negro vote.
Breaking his long silence on hot

BY BEN F. PERRY

July 18th and 18th were lush
days for con men who with women
assistants fieeced several Mime
apolis persons of sums amounting
to seventeen hundred and fifty dol
lars.
One woman visited by a woman
who appeared either to be a gypsy
or light complexioned colored per-
son, who visited her home and Of
fered to pray for the sick and. bless
whatever money the victim had!
The money was tied in a cloth, and
the blessing was disguised. Paper
being substituted for the money.
Another victim was taken for
her six hundred dollars postals
savings, and thirty dollar pay
check when she was approached
in a downtown section of the city
by a man who wanted her to help
him make change for a large bill,
explaining that his employer at
Kresge's five and ten cent store
was going to reward him for saw
ing his son from a fiery death.
A number two man volunteered
with seven hundred dollars, num-
Der one went into Kresges, and re-
turned with the money wrapped in
a handkerchief; the lady had to
go to rest room, and when she
returned the men were gone.
One is described as a light
skinned person, tall, handsome, and
weighing perhaps one hundred
seventy-fve or eighty pounds.
The other is described as being
about forty-five years old, five feet
six or seven inches tall, and weigh
ing about one hundred and eighty
pounds, wears glasses.
Minneapolis police advise that
all persons in the Twin City area

this evidently is the work of an
organized gang.

T. Arnold Hill
Slated to Lose
OPA Post

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The OPA this week is faced with
dilemma in meeting the mandate
of Congress in its recently granted
budget to broaden its field func-
lions with no increase in funds. It
has decided as one step in this di-
rection to discontinue its race re-
lations office, but is frantically try
ing to avoid any appearance or
suggestion at this politically i'm
portant time of curtailing its pro-
gram of fair-dealing and its in
terest in the success of its program
in Negro communities.
Standing out like sore thumb
in the picture is T. Arnold Hill,
who on July Is of last year was
named special assistant to the OPA
administrator to handle race rela-
tions, by Prentiss Brown, then
heading the OPA. Mr.. Hill was
formerly assistant director of the
Office of Negro Affairs in the Ma
tional Youth Administration under
DIR. Mary Mcleod Bethune, and
prior to that had spent 25 years
with the National Urban League.

gress which has just returned from
a double-convention recess.
Right now, the Republicans are
way out in the lead on paper.
Dewey, taking a leaf from Roose-
velt's book, has been naming Ne
groes right and left to important
jobs in New York. Roosevelt found
this technique had its points in
1910 when he made Col. Benz. o.
Davis, ST., a brigadier general in
the Army of the United States
the first Negro to hold such rank;
and appointed Judge William Has
tie as Civilian Aide to the Secretary
of War, both a couple weeks before
the election.
And the Republicans, though
with carefully chosen words, went
much farther in their platform
than did the Democrats on the race
issue. Sen. Dennis Chavez ID. of N.
Mex last week conceded the
Democrats racial plank is Every
weak-much weaker than the Re-
publicans'." But he added that it
would be strengthened before the
election by the party's candidates
Roosevelt and Truman-and by
Congress.
Whether the men running the
Democratic compaign will see the
wisdom of such a move and take
it will have a bearing on the trend
of the Negro vote. Roosevelt's rec
ord of the past is good-but the
mass of Negroes today are looking
to the future. AS Bishop Sims told
the Republicans at their conven-
ton in June, Negroes want guar
antee of safe voyage before they
purchase a ticket.
The stage is all set for such a
play by the Democrats. Already
in the House they are pending four
bills for the creation of a perma-
nent FEPC. Ten days of hearings
have been held already. In the
Senate, Sen. Chavez has introduced
a similar bill. He has announced
his desire and intention of press
ing for immediate action. But he
knows his actions will be subject
to the veto or approval of the cam
paign strategists.
Negroes want such legislation
like they wanted Wallace for Vice
President. To rebuff them twice in
a row wouldn't be too smart.
1t would be doubly smart to pass
such legislation, however. In one
bold stroke it would prove the claim
to the continued progressive and
liberal character of the Democrats,
and it would knock one of the main
planks out of the Republican plat
form-the pledge of a permanent
FEPC.
And then, to cinch the deal, that
sleeping giant-the bill to feder-
ally outlaw attacks upon men in
the uniform of their country Is.
221), already passed by the Sen
ate and pigeonholed in Rep. Mays
Cd. of Ky.) House Military Affairs
Committee since February, 1913
should be awakened.
Zoom would go another Republi-
can plank-the one pledging an in
vestigation of Army mistreatment,
segregation and discrimination.
Of course, if the Democratic
strategists think the Negro vote
is Gin the bag which 1 think is a
mistake-then they will ignore
these opportunities and put the
usual 'hush-hush" on Americas
No. home front issue until after
the elections" 1t may then be too
late.
