have required more wisdom and
generosity than many white Ameri-
cans have shown in their racial at
titudes over long period of years.
1t would have required more skill
fulness and fortitude than many
Negroes have been encouraged to
acquire in their relationships with
a dominant white majority"
Committees Organized
The League played an active role
in its fight against the spread
of riot fever" The report states:
In SO cities interracial commit
tees were organized under League
leadership, sometimes appointed by
mayors-all concerned with organ
izing every community resource to
prevent the outbreak of racial con-
fiict as the first step in building
sounder interracial relations.
Some of these cities were them
selves acute danger spots. 1t was an
indication of high quality of lead
ership that in every case unsettled
conditions were progressively i'm
proved"
The League asked the public for
increased financial support during
the critical year of 1914 and be-
yond, warning:
Looking further ahead to the
postwar period, the picture is con-
fused and less than reasSuring."

Oxley Here to Organize
US. E. S. Training Conferences
Service to Negro Applicants

Manpower Commission policies on
minority groups;
(b) provide the minimum essen
tials of background for an adequate
understanding of the basic nature
of the problems of minority groups;
(c) indicate some of the specific
techniques that might be used in
the employment processes; and
(d) point out how a factual basis
for action may be assembled from
available data about the employ
ment office area;
(e) provide a list of source ma
terials for reference.
The material is being introduced
in War Manpower Commission, Re-
gion s, during the week T.
in April, and formal training
sessions for Employment Service
personnel are being conducted in
the Twin Cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, Des Moines and Oma-
ha.
This Training Unit attempts to
help interviewers and points out
that, One of the greatest handi-
caps to successful interviewing is
bias in some form. 1t may be "a
cial bias, color bias, or religious
bias; but from whatever angle it
comes the interviewer should take
steps to recognize the bias and rid
themselves of it."
The Training Unit presents facts
showing how racial bias in two
major war centers in a period of
nine days within a calendar month
resulted in total loss of 1,125,O
man-hours. The production loss
amounted to eight four-engine
DOmDerS, and 10 lhunderbOltS or
Hellcat single-engine fighter planes.
The Training Unit indicates that
the nation was confronted with
many problems at the end of World
War because Of bias shown
against Negro workers, and sug-
gests that America will have a
similar problem at the close of
World War II, if Negro qualified
workers and discharged Negro SOL
diers are not treated fairly by In
dustry.
Lieut.. Oxley's work has been
highly praised by various Negro
leaders and government officials.
He left for Des Moines, Wednes-
day night.

of being intimate with his wife, he
said, Il did not say that you were,

my house" He was not able to say
whether it was night or day, or
what day and time these supposed
visits were made. After much de-
liberation, the board concluded that
he had no case and offered only
suspicion with no proof at all. On
Feb. 8, 1914 the board convened
again, the case was very carefully
studied and reviewed by every man
present. Howard Hunt had no
more evidence than the same sus-
picion, vote was taken. The board
stated that according to informa-
ton and evidence received, the pas
tor stood clear. Howard Hunt was
not satisfied, his lawyer, Mr.. j.

The organization and its 4S at

Riot Fever
The League pointed gloomlly to
the riot fever" of 1913, with racial
troubles in Detroit, Mobile, Beau
mont and New York. The riots in
some instances were caused where
fumbling leadership played fast
and loose with the rising passions
of ignorant, fearful and embittered
citizens" the report declared.
1T is true that the riots were
not inevitable, but to have pre-
vented them would have required
a minor political and social mira
cle," the report added. 1T would

CoIors, Rejecting Values

In all lighting tests, white is far
ahead Of other colors in rejecting
value. According to scientific expert
ments, whites rejecting power is
between 90 and 80 per cent. Cream
rates at 70 to 70 per cent, while
ivory comes next in the scale with
a percentage of g. to 80. Then comes
light pink at around 66 per cent,
yellow at 81 per cent and flesh color
at 81 per cent. Buff and light gray
also test at 81 per cent, while light
green and aluminium gray rate at As
and Al per cent, respectively. Low
er in the scale come light blue
and sage green, with percentage of
S6. Dark red reflects only Is per
cent Of the light that strikes its sur
face. while dark green and dark blue
soak up all but 9 and per cent of
the light that hits them. Black, at
the bottom of the list, is rated
close to zero in its rejecting quail
ties.

Supreme Court Decision
May Affect Anti Poll
Tax Vote in Congress

mere opposition to Roosevelt is not
enough to win.
They are aware, too, that the
Negro vote in the coming election
will have a acknowledgement"
effect. Their best Negro-vote pull
er, Wendell Willkie, has just with
drawn from the race for nominal
ton. Some positive steps to court
the Negro vote is now necessary.
Support of the poll tax issue may
provide one Of those needed steps.
If defeat of the poll tax bill,
however, can be laid to a weak
leadership on the part of the Demo-
Gratis in the fight for it's passage,
the Republicans will be made doub-
ly happy. They can then appease
the South and at the same time lay
the blame for defeat on the Demo-
Gratis.
Urging that strong fight be
put up on the bill, the National
Council of Negro Women, through
its president, Mrs. Mary Mcleod
Bethune, sent a telegram Friday
to Senators Mead and Barley con-
graduating them on their efforts
in definitely scheduling the anti
poll tax bill to come up promptly
after the Easter recess, and declar-
ing: eve fully appreciate the diff
fculties that you have overcome in
having HR 7 called up before the
Senate. We feel sure that you will
put up a strong fight for the pas
sage of the bill when it is brought
to vote. Passage of this bill will
strengthen the democracy for
which our men are fighting, and
will demonstrate to the people of
the world the sincerity of the
American ideal of freedom and
equality!
Soon after April II, when the
Senators return, the answers should
be known.

finished, since he had no evidence
on me, but while was out Of the
city, the case was tried with manu-
featured evidence, of which had
never heard. l was not notified nor
subpoened, when l reached the city
and learned of the frame-up, / de-
cided to seek legal counsel, not
knowing when the case would be
called again.
Early Monday morning l called
Attorney Ralph Stacker and made
an appointment. The earliest he
could give me was 1870. After l
had left the house to keep my ap-
pointment, Mrs. Jackson called and
said the trial would be at eleven
o'clock. 1t was then five minutes
to eleven. My wife tried to get
word to me by one of my Trustees
who overlook me in his car and
rushed me to the Court House.
When we reached there the trial
had been hastily finished in less
than 20 minutes. We then proceed
ed to Attorney Stacker's office for
conference. I conclude by saying,
each time l went to Howard Hunts
house he was there, and my wife
was with me because it was at a
special invitation. l do not pay
Pastoral calls unless my members
are i'll, in trouble or have bereave-
ment in the home.

Lieut.. Lawrence Oxley was in
the Twin Cities early this week for
preliminary conferences with re-
gional and state War Manpower
Commission personnel.
Jobs for qualified Negro workers
during the immediate war emergen-
cy and in the more difficult post
war days is the aim of a training
handbook compiled by Lieut.. Oxley,
Senior Technical Representative,
Bureau of Placement, War Man
power Commission, Washington,
D. c. This material is intended to
provide the Receptionists, Inter
viewers, Employer Contact and re-
lated local Employment Service
personnel with practical tools and
techniques for coping with the
placement problems of racial min
GRITTY groups with special reference
to the Negro work applicant.
Factual material contained in the
training unit is intended to chal-
lenge the thinking of United States
Employment Service workers, with
reference to their personal attitudes
and toward the type of service rem
dered the Negro work applicant.
The training material is being in
troduced in the twelve War Man
power Commission Regions, to per
sonnet in selected offices located in
centers of Negro population con-
centration.
The Training Unit received IA
vorable response in Detroit, Cleve-
land and Louisville during the trial
runs, and will be distributed to
approximately 10000 Employment
Service personnel in 1900 Local Of
fees scattered throughout the ma
ton. The varying racial attitudes
and differing employment patterns
of these three cities provided ex-
cellent laboratory conditions toward
developing and validating material
for the purpose. These tests rep
resent the composite thinking and
constructive suggestions which
have arisen from the experience of
Employment Service personnel at
all operating levels in the field. The
material and suggestions are de-
signed to achieve the following
detectives:

Mrs. Arvie ]. Ware, wife Of Rev.
Ware, made the following state
ment:
One night, Feb. 8, 1914, the
Deacon board held until two a. m.
1t was so unusual that / waited up
to see what was happening. When
my husband came and l asked him
about it, he said one of "the most
preposterous things happened to
me tonight. Hunt accused me OF
going to his house and have never
been there only when we were in
vited. He wanted to be released
from the Deacons. We have been
there all of this time trying to get
him to give US some facts or proof
of what he said, but he had none"
The next day when my husband
went out l called Mr.. Hunt and
asked him why he wanted to kill
u.s." and that he knew there was
no truth in his statement. He said
l never would have mentioned it
again if Rev. Ware hadn't told
Deacon Tarver, after / spoke to
him about it. Mr.. Hunt continued,
'"The reason / did it, a woman from
st. James called me and told me
that she saw where l was divorcing
my wife, and asked who was going
to name Ed Moore, Taylor or Rev.
Ware, but l am through with it
now" he stated. I did not intend
for my husband to know that had
called Mr.. Hunt because / thought
it was settled, but Mr.. Hunt told
the Deacon board in the next meet
ing that I had called him, so it
should be on record.

Burns Paid for TomhStone

Whether Robert Burns paid for
the tombstone he had erected in
Canongate churchyard in memory of
the poet Ferguson is believed to be
settled by proof showing that the
Scottish bard settled the account in
full. The question has been agitat-
ing Scotland for some time with
heated arguments among historians.
Some one has produced Currie's
Life Of Burns" which states that
the monument cost Burns $27. so, and
that the money was paid through
Peter Hill, an Edinburgh bookseller.
In his letter accompanying the
money, Burns wrote regarding the
marble cutter and stone: He was
two years in erecting it after 1 had
commissioned him for it, and have
been two years in paying him after
he sent me his account; so he ano
are quits"
