New Orleans L.
Given Assignment

WASHINGTON CAMP - In
vestigation is being made of the
reported lynching of 66-year-old
minister by several white men IN
Amite county, Miss, last March 20.
a spokesman for the Office of the
attorney general said friday.
The incident was reported to
The civil liberties section by both
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton and the United States attor-
ney's office in the New Orleans
area toward the end Of July, and
the investigation was begun on
August 4, it was said.
According to information cleaned
from the civil liberties section and
the NAACP, which is interesting
itself in the case, the Rev. Isaac
Simmons owned a 220-acre debt
free farm in Amite county. Several
whites in the community learned
that there were possible oil de-
posits, and certainly large timber
areas on the land, and began to
plan to inveigle the property
away from him.
For a period, however, certain
tax payments we're due and they
hoped to get the property by auc-
tion Rev. Simmons paid Up these
back taxes, which angered the
whites, and on March % three Of
them came by and took both him
and his son Elridge in their car.
The minister was beaten, taken
e way down the road, and both
were put out The aged preacher
started to run and he was shot In

Reid New Member
BY HARRY McALPN

WASHINGTON, II. C.-tNNEAJ
Despite agreement with the SEN
timents expressed by Judge Will
liam HASTE, in a letter to Sidney
Hillman, chairman OF the National
Political Action Committee, most
of the Negro members of the conf
mittee have advised the NNPA
they do not plan to resign from
the committee or to withdraw their
support of Roosevelt in the coming
presidential campaign.
In his letter, which was not re-
leased by him except to other
committee members, HASTE said
that 'if no constructive legislative
and administrative program is I'M
dertaken by the national admins
tration now for the prediction
period, 1 for one cannot work for
the reelection of that administra-
ton, and will not be able to re-
main a member of the National
Citizens Political Action Commit
tee."
He stated that other Negro
members of the committee share
hiss belief that affirmative action
is imperative now. "Of course" he
said, leach individual must de-
eide for himself what position he
should take in the unhappy event
of legislative and executive nom
action" He told the NNPA, how
ever, that he has not resigned
from the committee. He preferred
not to comment further, at this
time.

IF SCHOOL KEEPS

oSI1oNIL ~
The present outlook for fall and
the reopening of schools is on the
dark side due to 10000 teachers
being needed when school opens
and there is no way In sight to
get them. 1t is estimated that 49,
600 to 10000 classes will be with
out teachers. $4,000 emergency
certificates were issued for last
year, to teachers who could not
measure up to the standards re-
quired by their locality. With
100000 teachers now in the armed
forces and only 10000 instead of
the $4,000 students graduating
from teachers colleges this year,
it does take on a serious trend.
Those who stress educational adj
vantages are aware of what this
will mean. Educators trying to
work. out a solution suggest the
only way to get them and make
this job more attractive to stu
dents of ability, is to raise the
level of teachers salaries. The
average yearly salary is about
81 500 and while only few teach
ers get more than $4,000 a year,
100000 of them get less than
$1,000. It might well be the
reason more aren't seeking the
profession and why more are leav-
ing it. 1t pays Kennewick to pay
attention to this matter.

Voters when they cast their
ballot in November for their choice
for president will vote for electors
instead of directly for the party
candidates. These electors are
chosen in each state by each po-
litical party. AS many electors are
chosen as the state has repre-
sentatives and senators in Con-
gress. The electors elected in each
state meet in their state capital
and there. ballot for president and
vice president. 1t is said "the
electors have full right to cast
their ballots for whomsoever they
please" although as one writer
puts it, ''there is the strongest
moral obligation to vote for the
man placed in nomination at the
national convention of their party,
during the preceding summer.
Their votes are then sealed and
mailed to the secretary of the
United States Senate where they
are officially counted.

One of the important projects
of the future in this country is
going to be the matter of public
health. This matter has been
brought to the attention of the
country by the number of rejec-
tons for physical reasons by the
Army and Navy. In a land
where there has always been a
surplus of food we have many
under nourished people and many
physically unfit. In TIMES of
peace little attention is paid to
it. 1t is only when nationwide
check up is made as in the case
of the draft, that attention is
called to it and the deficiency dis
covered. The health program Of
fers unlimited opportunity for
Improvement and advancement. It
is necessary, if we are to have a
strong nation and a strong people,
that we have vigorous and eff
fective health program in opera

things will be necessary, among
which are periodic checkup, cor
rect eating habits, the right food
and individual conservation of
health and energy.

Here are a few facts about the
new B-28 Super Fortress that will
not contribute to your peace of
mind in the event you should take
a trip in one of them any day
soon. The B-29 flies at such a
great height that a special pres
urized cabin is necessary. If a
bullet makes hole in the cabin
it's occupants must at once don
oxygen masks. If a passenger
balls out and opens his parachute
Immediately he may freeze to
death before he reaches the earth.
If he delays opening his para
chute until he gets into the lower
atmosphere he may 'black out"
and be unable to pull the rip cord.
This comforting thought! It often
happens that pilot after having
BACKED out will recover before he
reaches. the earth in time to open
his chute. All of which indicates
that it will be some time before
the B-29s are used on pleasure
trips.

On July /, China entered the
eighth year of its battle against
the Jap aggressor. Being wholly
unprepared for war China was
in no shape to offer effective re-
sistance against a well prepared
enemy. In seven years she has
lost her seven largest cities and
between 80 and 80 percent of her
rail lines. In spite of the unequal
fight China is talking hopefully
of the day when the war shall be
over and China can begin to build
back again. '.After the war;" DR..
Sun Yat-sen, noted Chinese teach
er and statesman says, "China will
have launch a gigantic pro-
gram of reconstruction which will
absorb all the energies of her peo-
pie for generations to come" For
a nation that has been ground for
seven years under the heel of
the most ruthless oppressor the
modern world has seen, this atti-
tude and hope reveals spirit of
optimism and courage that is most
inspiring.
