The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1944-03-11

This week Negroes in Jackson and Mississippi are to be
congratulated for their wisdom in refusing allow
side agitaors to and make trouble between them
and their present employers.
They to be congratulated for taking stand and
letting these outsiders know that the South are not
totally without knowledge of what is going in the world
around that have little faith in these socaed
sefyled angels of Mercy who leave cities where every

from degradation
They are be congratulated for realizing that now as
BEFORE it behooves the Southern Negro do
serious thinking and planning for his benefit be-
hooves him to look into every proposition and accept only
in proportion that it puts MONEY into his pocket
1t is fine thing for outsiders to and tell
that should demand for labor it would be
very fine to have much money get at all times
BUT it much finer to have enough real
ize that fairly good amount of money wisely invested and
spent is much better than money at all.
So think, Negroes in Jackson and Mississippi who
were wise enough realize that it is better work for
their present wages and said BEFORE many instances
these wages better than these particular workers have
been given, than join up with some Organization that
could guarantee them nothing and who would, without
doubt be the of them losing their jobs to be
graduated.
We don't want readers to get the idea that
against you being ambitious and progressive that
against you getting all the money you for your labor
etc. but we do you to think and take into considera

ity that could Negroes if your present employers

certain contracts And they do prefer to close

jackson Editor
Addresses
Tougaloo Students

Mr.. Percy Greene, editor of the
Jackson Advocate, was guest speak
er at the regular chapel program
March /. The occasion was the
Iteration of Negro Newspaper
Week. This being the case, the
speaker confined his remarks more
or less to the growth and develop
ment of the Negro press and its
potent force in bringing about many
of the present changes which we
have witnessed.
Mr.. Green said, ut is long way
from the North Star, the first Ne
gro newspaper founded by Fred
erick Douglas in 1847, to such nat
ionally known papers as the Chi
cage Defender and Pittsburg Cour-
Ter" We are all in one way or
another affected by the power of
the press. THE pen is mightier
than the sword" This is the chief
agency in moulding public opin-
ion on most current issues. Since
the Negro gets little or no con-
sideration in the white press, it is
his indispensable duty to support
the Negro press-the medium thru
which he can express his desires,
opinions and aspirations.
Notwithstanding the militancy of
the Negro press, it is supported in
a large measure by sympathetic
white people. Perhaps the largest
portion of the revenue from adj
vertising comes from white bust
ness concerns.
The celebration of Negro News
pader Week should serve to focus
our attention on the vital part that
Negro weeklies play in our lives.
They are the most reliable and de-
pendable sources that we have for
information about our group. If
we want to know what the Negro
is doing then we should read Ne
gro papers and periodicals. Let us
resolve to read at least one Negro
newspaper each week. These pa
pers are fighting our battles and
need our financial and moral sup
port. j. H. OWENS.

Given 5 Years
For Fraud In
Family Allowance

Five years Imprisonment at hard
labor, dishonorable discharge from
the Army, and forfeiture of all pay
and allowances was the sentence
imposed by military court in
the New York area upon an Army
private who attempted to get a
family allowance for a person not
eligible to receive it.
Details of the case were revealed
today by Brig. Gen. H. N. Gilbert,
USA, Director of the Office of De-
tendency Benefits, an activity of
the Army Service Forces.
This is the most severe sentence
yet imposed for fraud in connec-
ton with family allowances" Cen
eral Gilbert stated.
THE soldier was charged with
violation of the oath Article Of
War, in that he knowingly exc
cuted a fraudulent affidavid so as
to assist woman whom he de-
scribed as his wife in obtaining a
family allowance"
Evidence developed in the case
revealed that the soldier, who had
been married for a number of
years and had deserted his wife
and young son in Philadelphia, Pa,
in 1887, entered the Army under
an assumed name in January 1912.
In November 1871, however, he had
gone through bigamous marriage
ceremony with a girl in Newark
N j. Soon after entering the
Army, he applied for family al
lowance for this girl, naming her
as his wife. The allowance was
authorized and paid. AS soon as
fraud was established, the ODB
discontinued her family allowance.
Refund of payments to which she
had not been entitled will be re-
quired by the ODB in accordance
with the law, General Gilbert re-
vealed.
There was no evidence, how
ever, that this girl was party to
the fraud, and she has not been
prosecuted" the General added.
A family allowance has ben au-
thorized for the soldiers lawful
wife and their child, it was stated,
and this allowance is being paid.
They still reside in Philadelphia.
Through the ingenuity of the de-
serted wife, the ODB first gained
information leading to the soldiers
arrest and conviction, according to
General Gilbert. She arranged to
have a picture Of him placed in a
publication under a missing man.
caption. The picture was recog-
nized, and the wife was informed
as to the whereabouts of the miss
ing husband by an interested read
er. She then submitted an appli-
cation for a family allowance for
herself and child, based upon the
service of the man she believed to
be her husband.
An investigation by the ODDS
Field Investigations Branch proved
her to be right, and the soldier was
brought to justice.
THE ODB maintains the Fielc
Investigations Branch, with its net.
