Night In Harlem
Promises Solid
Musical Blitz''

The following conversation was
repeatedly overheard in Minneapo-
lis a few days ago: "See here,
Jack, meet Mack, solid cat from
way back. Just call him Joe Blow,
he's hep and in on the know"
Now Blow Joe says: cts like
this, old man, Pm on a one man
reconnaissance for something to do
on July 8, when my glimmers dig
this Night in Harlem up at Phyllis
Wheatley. It's replete and a yearly
repeat. 1t takes little more than a
half line and the floor show and
dance is fine. Now to be brief,
Pops, it's an entertainment inva-
sion and the navy will take part.
So, Jack, I'm going in with the first
wave. Producer Lillian Goodhue
Penn is strictly on the beam. She's
knocked her conk for the latest
dances and tunes. In short, the edi-
flee will be swaying."

TIE yield Gardeners have several
simple and effective methods of
fighting these seed-borne diseases of
garden crops.
Certified, or selected seed, because
it has been inspected for any evil
dence of disease, is usually less like
ly to carry disease than uncertifed
seed.
Gardeners can also buy seed
which has been treated to kill the
seed-borne diseases. Cabbage, eau
Haower, brussels sprouts, kale, tur-
nip, kohlrabi, broccoli, tomato,
and celery seeds are treated with
hot water. Seeds of cucumber,
squash, muskmelon, pumpkin and
watermelon are treated with corro-
sive sublimate.
To control damping-off, a disease
which often kills the seeding plants
soon after they sprout, a dust can
be mixed with the seeds before they
are planted. Some seed firms treat
the seeds before they ship them to
customers.

S. r. S: am supposed to go to
my oldest sisters to finish school.
Please give me all the information
that you can so l will know what
to do. l live with my uncle and he
treats me like year old. Can't
do anything at all. l am in my last
year at high school. My boy friend
is in college. We used to get along
fine. When ne came home from col
lege ne gave me a cool brushoff in
a nice way. He asked me to visit
his parents and they treat me nice.
But he talks about US getting mar
ried someday but not right way.
Is he trying to show me in a nice
way that he doesn't care any more?
Ans: The cool attitude your
friend is taking was brought on by
you trying to force him into some
immediate plans. He thinks very
highly of you, otherwise he wouldn't
have sent you to visit his parents
but he isn't ready to get married.
Go to your sisters and make ar
engagements to finish your educa-
ton In order not disappOint him,
continue your education and keep
your training equal to his. Men
still insist on being the pursuers
in the game of love.
X. X: You helped me on a prob
lem some time ago and 1 ap-
preciated what you did. l have
another problem. My pastor has
told me that he was in love with
me over and over, to my face and
over the phone. He is not single
either. He says l am a mean sweet
face but deceiving. l don't want
him to think that. He wants to buy
me birthstone ring. Do you think
l should let him go on and get the
birthstone? Or would there be some
kind of confusion behind it?
Ans: 1t may not be your in
tentiOn to encourage this man but
you certainly are not discOuraging
him by listening to his tales of
woe. Flatly refuse any gift that he
may offer you. Decent girls do not
accept gifts from married men.
Hold no further conversation with
him relative to your personal af-
fairs. His request that the matter
of the ring be kept secret should
convince you that he regards this
affair as illicit. Beware of the cry
of the wolf.
L. A: l would appreciate your in
formation. My husband has been
treating me so devilish hateful in
our home affairs and we don't get
along good. Should l let him go
on with Blanche, leave him and
my two children? He doesn't seem
to realize that I'm his wife.
Ans: When a marriage is threat
ening to crack-up that's no time
for a wife to walk out and leave
her children. Assume that you have
been in the wrong by not showing
him the attention that he wanted
and by making his home as happy
as he had hoped it to be. Forget
your independence and cOmnromise

CT StevedOreS

AFHQ, MEDITERRANEAN
THEATER C. l. stevedores of a
U. S. Army port battalion in North
Africa hold the fate of ship and
its troops in their hands. The man
ner of loading and disposition of
equipment on both freighters and
troop ships is the responsibility of
these Negro soldiers.
If the cargo of a ship should
shift when at sea, it is doomed.
Gasoline, shells, wheat and flour
all have to be loaded in a special
manner to insure security from
explosions or combustion. That is
why the work of this battalion is
one calling for care and knowledge.
These G. l. stevedores are spe-
cialists and technicians. They have
all attended schools fitting them
for their jobs. Formed in Deem
Der, 1912, the battalion learned its
job from A to T." in the words of
Captain Sheldon C. Fullerton of
East Cleveland, Ohio, battalion ad-
jutant. They had practical training
in their work at Hampton Roads
Port of Embarkation, loading, dis
charging, and storing until May,
1913, when they came overseas in
North Africa.
At their overseas port they i'm
mediately started to function and
have loaded and discharged thou
sands of tons since that time. They
have tactically loaded ships mount
ing out of this port for the inva-
sions of Sicily and Italy.
The men work in sections of q
soldiers, consisting of a non-com-
missioned officer as leader, winch
man, signalman, and workers who
handle the sings and graphing
irons. Lieutenant Colonel John E.
Marriatt of Savannah, Ga, says of
them, THE men are real experts in
their line and know all the tricks
of the stevedore and a few of their
own. They know how to use pull
ley here and there to get added pur-
chase and strength out of a boom
and it is a revelation to see them
handle those big five and ten ton
booms as if they were playing with
blocks"
Although working at the port all
day, and even at night when need
ed, the colored personnel of this
outfit have built one of the most
attractive camps in the area for
themselves. Starting from scratch,
they have created a modern tent
city with landscaping, concrete
floors, wiring, water, and sewerage
facilities. They have a recreation
building built of scrap lumber from
the port which they highly prize.
When the port traffic is heavy,
these G. l. stevedores are on the
quays night and day loading and
disphar pinv vessels in repord time

served as Mr.. Sengstacke's aide
during that affair. Governor
Dewey welcomed each guest in his
capacity as chief executive of the

No politics was injected into the
convention proper. Those who sug-
gested that the New York COVER

nifcance were answered by the ap-
pearance as principal speaker at
the publishers banquet on Friday
night of DR.. Max Lerner, the New
Deal supporting editorial chief of

peace in the home. Make yourself
essential to your husbands per-
sOnal happiness. 1t would be a
blessing if you two could bury the
Ratchet and give your children a
square deal in life.
c. D.: Just a few lines to let you
know how l am getting along.
Things have changed for me. My
dark days have vanished, my path
is lighter. l don't know what l
would have done if it wasn't for
the Able Wallace Service. 1 am
smiling with each and every one.
Smiles win more than money. My
burdens were heavy until IN
loaded my burdens on you. / can't
thank you enough. Signed C. D.
D. D.: am young girl living
with a man and he doesn't want me
to go any place at all. Must l keep
going with him or stop? l really
love a soldier. What must l do?
Ans: The first thing you need
to do is to get job and go to work,
becoming independent and self
supporting. The next thing is to
give up this man entirely. You
started out on the wrong foot and
you should back-track and get on
the right road while there is still
time to redeem yourself. Your
soldier friend would be terribly
disappointed if he found you were
not living an upright life. Never
be satisfied with anything less than
marriage.

BISHOP GREGG'S TALK

Gregg said that Nowhere are
American Negro soldiers treated
better than they are in Australia"
The speaker humorOusly remarked
that when he was in Africa (as a
bishop of the A. M. f. church,
some years ago, that Negroes were
not welcomed in Australia, but,
said he, "the Japs must have
changed that feeling on the part of
the Australians"
Bishop Gregg quoted some of the
soldiers as sending word to SOL
diers on other battlefronts that
1--WE are not only fighting for the
four freedoms for people here, but
for the four freedoms for ourselves
and our people in America" He
spoke of his visit to the headquar-
tiers of the famous goth squadron
of "Blackhawks" in the European
sector.
The distinguished prelate said
that the things the boys want most
from home are letters. He de-
scribed how happy they are to re-
ceive anything like a letter from
home and how detected they often
feel when no mail comes. He urged
the people of his audience to write
to the boys often. Don't tell them
about your troubles - they have
enough of their own-but tell them
simple and intimate things that are
going on in the home, community,
church, etc."
Bishop Gregg said that there
seem to be about five Baptists to
every one of the other denomina-
tions in the service in the South
Pacific area. He related the humor-
Gus answer, given as the reason for,
the predominanee of the B2ptists,
by one of the men: "This is an am
phibian war;" he quoted the man
as saying.
The bishop did not mention any
discrimination or mistreatment of
Negro service personnel in his ad-
dress. The writer of this story
presumes the bishop omitted any
mention of such treatment, not be-
cause he did not know about it, but
rather to help the morale of the
people here at home, as well, by
not dwelling on the unfavorable
things of his visit. In the pictures
shown by the speaker the fact that
there are two armies - one white
and the other Negro - fighting for
America in this war was wildly
portrayed.
This interracial mass meeting
was called by St. James A. M. E.
church, St. Paul. The church build
ing fund was the beneficiary of the
contributions collected at the meet
ing. Besides Bishop Gregg, special
guests included John Greene,
well-known Chicago baritone, who
sang a number of solos with T.
Theodore Taylor at the piano;
Archie Berde, St. Paul tenor, who
gave some interesting illustrations
of Jewish religious music, including
the national hymn of Palestine;
and members of the Hamline Meth
odist church choir, directed by Mrs.
A. J. Fellows, who also supplied
organ music.
The invocation was offered by
Rt. Rev. Benjamin T. Kemmerer,
Suffragan Episcopal Bishop of
Minnesota, and other clergymen
participating in the program, of
which DR.. Isaac Fisher was chair
man, included Rev. Paul Nagano,
Japanese missionary; DR.. Gerald
o. McCulloh, pastor of Hamline
Methodist church; DR.. Irving West,
pastor of the House of Hope Pres
byterian church; and Rev. C. W.
Hautzenrader, pastor of the First
Christian church.

Dewey Still
ps
By FRED MULLEN

(Un1teu FreSS SCam correspondent
Washington, April 10 - (U.P) -
House Republicans generally ex-
pressed belief today that Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York will
be the G.. o. P. presidential nomi-
nee despite indications that Gen.
eral Douglas Macarthur may be
available for a draft
Most of them declined to COM
ment publicly on the statement in
which Macarthur disavowed any
plan of seeking Office but which
suggested that he would accept the
nomination If he were drafted by
the Republican national conven-
ton.
Privately, however, house Repub-
ncanS believed that nothing would
stop Dewey's rise in popularity
among convention delegates. Man?
Democrats expressed similar senti-
ment.
Representative A. L. Miller, R.,
Neb., whose recently publicized ex-
change of correspondence with the
General gave added emphasis to
him as a possible candidate, was
certain Macarthur would make an
announcement within six weeks
regarding his receptiveness" to the
nomination.
Miller revealed last week that he
had written Macarthur urging him
to announce his candidacy.
Pre-convention talk that Asso-
ciate Supreme Court Justice Owen
j. Roberts was a good bet as dark
horse candidate was evident at the
capitol and elsewhere, but found no
general support.
Gerald L. K. Smith, head Of the
America First Party and a presi-
Dental aspirant, issued a statement
that Roberts "is worse than Will
kie" and has a reputation for in
ternationalism which is more COM
pletely and dangerously developed
even than 1t was in Willkie."
Miller interpreted MacArthur's
statement as confirming the belief
shared with most Washington OBJ
servers-that Macarthur was avail
able for the nomination. He told
newsmen that he had not sought to
embarrass Macarthur by releasing
their correspondence last week.
Macarthur made it clear that his
letters had not been intended for
publication.
One Republican, in a private con-
versation, contended that the Mac
Arthur situation would have a
healthy affect for the G. o. P. in
that it would keep the name Of at
least one possibility other than
Dewey squarely before the people.
This, he said, would prevent a pos
Sible slackening off of enthusiasm

APPEAL NOTICE
RECORDED TODAY
Finding, Award in Com
pensatiOn Case to Be
Reviewed Shortly

An appeal from q finding and
award handed down April 10 by
Compensation Commissioner John j.
0'Connell was taken to superior
court today by Esther Pierson, as
Employer Of Samuel CHASER. and the
employers Liability ASSURE nee
Corporation Of New Haven.
The compensation claim, based on
hernia injury, posed the problem
If determining whether the injury
originated while the New Haven in.
;urance concern was the insurer or
at q later date when the Associa-
ton Indemnity Corporation Of Hart
ford was insurer. The worker was
first injured March 5, 1913 and
again on Feb. 9, 1914, and the ques-
ton arose Of whether the second
disability was attributable to the
first injury or whether 1t was a new
ailment.
Commissioner O'Cmnell ruled
that the second injury was a re-
currence of the first hernia and that
the employer and the insurer she
had March S, 1913 were liable for
compensation payments. He dismiss
ed the claims made against the As
ISOLATED Indemnity Corporation,
ruling that the other respondents
should furnish the employee with a
hernia operation and pay $25 weekly
during the period of incapacity.
Mr.. Chaser was injured while
working as a salesman and furni-
ture display man. Attorney Martin
Gormley represents the employer
and insurance company in their ap-
peal from the ruling.

Wheeler Bots
For Dewey

Boston, April 18-UP)-U. S..
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont,
believes that any Republican can
didate can win the presidential
election this fall and that Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey would make a
runaway race of 1t.
The Montana anti-New Dealer
told a news conference here last
night that the Democrats would
choose a candidate who would be
"a compromise between the New
Dealers and the more conservative
element, but added that the party
could not expect to win the cleo
ton President RooseVelt's health
will prevent his seeking a fourth
term, Wheeler declared.
I'm fact, I am certain that Mr..
Roosevelt does not want the nom
nation" said Wheeler. Gov. Dewey
has been conducting himself in a
smooth way and will undoubtedly
be drafted at the Republican Ma
tional convention.
