cerned him and his living.
At this point, the sheriff is said
to have said bluntly that he wasn't
going to let Rev. Holmes and his
party go upstairs. The young min
lister then told the officer that since
legal action was going to be in
stituted he did not want the sheriff
as friend of the Negroes, to be
defendant. This apparently soft
ened up the sheriff for he is then
said to have told them to go on
upstairs.
Sixty per cent of Screvens
County's 2O,5O3 population is Ne
gro, or roughly $4,000. Less than
$500 persons are qualified to vote in
the county, only 81 being Negroes.
In the election preceding the last
primary a vote of 1862 was cast
in the county. Negroes in all walks
of life have recently expressed feel
ing of the need to vote for govern
ing officials. It was from this Sec
ton that the last of the Negro rep
resentatives in the Georgia state
house were elected.

Citizens Map
Campaign for
Arkansas Vote
Especial Correspondence in P. N.Y.

Especial Correspondence in P. NJ
Little Rock, Ark, July TO-
Some 10000 Negro Democrats in
Arkansas will try to vote in the pri-
maries of July Is and Aug. 8 but
they don't expect to get very far in
spite of the State Democratic Or
ganization's new "open door" pol
icy.
The Democratic State Commit
tee, disturbed by the Supreme
Court ruling against lily-white pri-
maries in Texas, opened the door to
Arkansas Negro Democrats, by
eliminating the rule limiting party
membership to whites, then
slammed it shut tighter than ever
by multiplying the grounds on
which election judges can exclude
Negroes.
Under the new rules, aimed at
the Negro voters, election judges
can exclude voters who they be-
lieve are not Democrats Gin good
faith; for failure to openly declare
allegiance to the party, for espous-
ing the cause of a non-Democrat
within the past two years, or for
failing to be Gin sympathy with the
success of the Democratic Party"
DR.. J. M. Robinson, president of
the Arkansas Negro Democratic
Assn. for 16 years, said all the as
sociation's 10000 members would
try to vote but will avoid getting
into trouble with white election Of
ficials.
The Negro Democrats, he said,
will be instructed eff your vote is
challenged or for any cause you
are denied the right to vote care
fully note the reasons, quietly re-
tire and report to officials of the
Arkansas Negro Democratic Assn"
DR.. Robinson, who for years has
led a movement for the admission
of Negroes into the Democratic
Party, appeared before the State
Committee at a meeting Saturday,
reminding the Party leaders that in
1928 the 10000 Negro voters he
led to the polls saved the day in
Arkansas for Al Smith and his Ar
kansas running mate, Joe T. Robin
son.
Arkansas has been consistently
Democratic since reconstruction
days and in most years primary
victory is tantamount to election.
Spearhead of the opposition to
Negro voting has been the property
interests who see a possible COM
bination of Negroes with white Ia
Dor and the poorer farmers.
In the current campaign, Col.
T. II. Barton, wealthy south Ar
kansas oil man running for the
U. S. Senate, has yelled white su-
premacy," and Gov. Homer M
Adkins has expressed the opinion
that Negroes "are not Democrats
and never will be-" declaring: 81
think we ought to keep the Demo
cratic Party in Arkansas and the
South a white party"

the war program and to attain
"The maximum utilization of man
power resources"
Individuals and agencies inter-
ested in the employment problems
of Negroes will be especially in
terested in the execution of the last
mentioned of these activities. A
statement of availability will be
required from former employers as
well as a referral card from the
U. S. E. S. where individuals are
changing from one essential activity
to another. A new employee may
not be employed without U. S. E.
S. referral card if he is male, or
if he or she has been hired in a
critical occupation during the pre-
ceding 60-day period, or if the
employee is changing from one
critical occupation to another, or
if the employees last regular en-
ployment was in agriculture; in
which case approval of the War
Food Administration and a state
ment of availability is required for
non-agricultural employment for
period to exceed weeks.
The program does not cover the
hiring of new employee in agri-
culture, supplementary employ
ment, or employment by the state,
county or municipal government or
territory or possession of the U.
S. Except Alaska and Hawaii). 1t
does cover Hiring by departments

Army Changes
Policy on Negro
Women Nurses

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Negro nurses may now enter the
Army nurse corps without restric-
ton of quotas, without ceilings as
to numbers, and with opportunity to
serve both at home and abroad, the
NNPA has learned this week from
an authoritative Army source.
The order already has been sent
out, and the new arrangement has
gone into effect.
Credit for the change in Army
policy in this regard is due largely
to the Association of Negro Gradu-
ate Nurses and to the Negro press,
both of which have been. fighting
since Pearl Harbor for the full and
proper utilization of Negro nurses.
This new action is significant in
view of the fact that at Camp
Livingston Negro nurses are being
trained together as at the larger
hospitals in the North. It appears
that real "beachhead" has been
driven into the pattern of segrega-
ton heretofore practiced by the
Army.
It is fair inference that the Army
intends to use the Negro Nurses
without regard to color in view Of
what is happening at Livingstone,
the New order abolishing Negro
quotas, and the announcement that
Negroes will be used both at home
and abroad.
The Navy, however, despite its
announced need, has not made any
move in that direction yet. The
latest report Of the American Red
Cross showed the Navy Nurse
Corps to be 1900 nurses behind its
quota set for July 1. Urgent ap-
peals are being made for Navy
nurses, but they must be white. !"
Nurses must volunteer their serv-
ices, and Mrs. Mabel Staupers, head
of the Association of Negro Gradu-
ate Nurses, has expressed the hope
that there will be no lack of en-
listments now that the doors have
been pried open. Through her or

which took seventy-five dollars a
year of his salary, and never gave
him a union privilege.
With high hope, perhaps sure of
himself he arrived in Minneapolis
one May morning and proceeded to
look for a job.
Minneapolis is a union town.
Taking it by and large, it has been
leader in industrial tolerance;
Parker had heard of this, and hope
was higher than ever when he ap-
piled for his union card.
A. J. Kilday, Vice President of the
International Union, was right
there on the job. Right on the job
with the oldest Union excuse for
withholding membership from an
undesirable. "Get yourself a job
and we will take you in" said Mr..
Kilday, when Parker applied with
the necessary $25 down payment
on his dues.
Parker was persistent. He &C
cepted the challenge, and proceeded
to hunt a job. He told James T.
Wardlaw, executive secretary of
the Minneapolis Urban League of
his plight. Wardlaw was eager to
help him. Many a dispenser of
liquor was contacted in the effort
to get Parker a break. Both had
believed that Parker's experience
and recommendations, coupled with
the man shortage would make the
effort successful.
At the Minneapolis Athletic Club
Parker was told that the job previ-
ously applied for by phone had been
filled. At the Curtis Hotel he was
promised extra work, but after one
look-nothing doing.
Afraid to Break Ice
At the Happy Hour the manager
said he would hire him, but he was

afraid to break the ice. He phoned
Delaney's who told him to report
for work, but no job when they
saw who or rather what he was.
The manager of the Covered
Wagon suggested that he try to
get job at one of the lake resorts.
The University Club promised a
job perhaps later. At Harry's Cafe
the manager was afraid that the
other bartenders would walk out,
besides if he did hire Parker, Vice
President Kilday would come
around and crib" him for doing so.
Fails to Attend Conference
In desperation Mr.. Wardlaw
called a conference between Brutus
Cassius, long prominent in labor
circles, and Vice President Kilday,
whom Cassius had actively sup
ported in his campaign for inter-
national union honors, hoping to
find some solution for the problem.
Mr.. Kilday failed to show up.
Ghost of Boss Pendergast Appears
Interviewed by this correspond
ent, Kilday assured US that he was
liberal, but could not help Parker
because he was afraid of Parker's
relations with Boss Pendergast of
Kansas City! He buttressed this
with vehement argument indicating
he feared Parker might be Com
munist!
Meanwhile Parker went to work
as waiter at the Hotel Dyckman.
Bartenders there made it unpleas-
ant, familiar with his attempt to
gain membership and a job, so he
found another job.
He is now on the Rock Island
Rocket, running into the southland
he left, wondering perhaps how far
north they have moved the Mason
and Dixon line!
