the group take a militant stand
against many of the evils that face
the young Negro in this section to-
day.
DR.. H. Reid Jackson, stated that
the real purpose of the Negro school
should be to develop strategy to i'm
prove the lot of the community and
minority groups. He advised coop
GRAFTON with labor organizations
that have the groups interests at
heart, an aesthetic consideration
for things in the community,
knowledge of codes and laws of the

Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
president of the National Council
Of Negro Women, told the gather

DR.. Bethune told the listening

NO RACIAL QUESTION IN TRIAL
OF 112 WATERS SAYS
U. ). ATTORNEY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. II (ANP)
BE sure and inform your papers
that there is no racial question in
volved in the trials of those 112
colored U. P. dining car walters"
declared Ass. U. S. Atty. Homer
H. Bell. He was granting an inter-
view on the most sensational case
in railroad history in which the col
ored walters and % white stewards
were indicted for conspiracy to rob
the railroad company while work
ing on their crack train, the Chal-
lenger.
Bell stated that hearings will
start this week and are due to last
several weeks because of the large
number of defendants and the nee
essity to follow the same procedure
with each individual.
Reverting to the color question he
remarked that the governments ac-
ton would have been the same with
any other race, and that they had
been under investigation for long
time. However the fact that they
could not have participated in the
racket except in collusion with the
white stewards over them, might
influence the court to be lenient.
He further stated that he felt that
the leaders of the race would rather
see the guilty punished than to ap-
pear to uphold them, thus creating
distrust in other employers of Ne
groes in positions of trust.
Judge Ben Harrison will be the
presiding judge according to pres
ent plans, but there is not the least
expectation of his being able to
handle more than 35 of the cases
per day.
Mr.. Bell also stressed the fact
that the court attempts to be fair
at all times in the fact that the II
colored chefs also charged as i'm
plicated in the conspiracy, were
dropped from the list, as were also
IL walters. Evidence Of only minor
offense had been uncovered in some
of these cases, in others there was
insufficient evidence Of any con-
spiracy in their particular instance
at all.

selves equal to the task under the
most rigid combat tests and l be-
lieve postwar aviation presents
great possibilities for those of our
race who return" he said.

After being on the short end Of
the battling for rounds, Bib Bill
Wilson opened up with his high ex-
plosives in the 5th. chapter to move
on to 9TH. round Knockout over
Jim Bowden in their scheduled 10
round bout in the American Legion
Arena last night.
Betting Bill had an extremely diff
ficult time in keeping his undefeat-
ed in Wilmington record intact.
The rugged Bowden dropped him to
the canvass three times in the first
four rounds.
The opening round was fought on
even terms as Wilson traded left
jabs with the husky Bowden from
distance.
Bowden came out of the second
heat in semi-crouch and began
to jar Wilson with left hooks to the
head. One of his crushing hooks
sent Wilson to the floor for the
count of Z as the bell sounded to
emu the rOunQ.
The third round was much the
same as the second. Bowden con-
centrated on sweeping left hooks
to Wilson's head that kept Big Bill
in serious trouble. Again the bell
saved Wilson as Bowden crash
ed him to the canvass with vicious
left to the jaw
BoWden continued his tossing of
hooks in the fourth round and
floored Big Bill for a nine count.
Wilson managed to rise on wobbly
legs and last the round out.
The complete nature of the fight
changed in the fifth stanza. After
BoWden had rocked Wilson with a
left, Bill roared back to send him
down with short right for no
count. Bowden climbed to his feet
only to have 'Walloping WIFI
crash him to the seat of his pants
with another right.
Bowden opened the sixth period
by sending Wilson against the ropes
with a hard left to the face. At
this point Wilson took complete
command of the ARRAY and began
to batter Bowden consistently.
Powerful rights sent Bowden
sprawling for an eight and nine
counts rapid successor.
