four rail centers, presumably busy
with last-minute preparations for
Strengthening the Wanted Allan

Allied invasion. Sixteen of the
bombers were lost.
Besides Cologne, described by
the Air Ministry as being by fa1

of being intimate with his wife, he
said, 81 did not say that you were,
I only accuse you of slipping to

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.
Louis Erwin, had dropped the case.
Mr.. Hunt accused me and the
deacons of buying him off. Why
did Mr.. Erwin refuse to handle the
case? I then decided the case was

Committees Organized
The League played an active role
in it's 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-
flict as the first step in building
sounder interracial relations.
"Some of these cities were them
selves acute danger spots. 1t was an
indication of a 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."

Annuol Institute
Friday, April Fl
At WheutleY

The Working Girls Council will
hold its regular Industrial Institute
in the form of four education semi
mars on Friday evening, April Fl,
at the Phyllis Wheatley House at
8 p. m. The public is invited to
attend any of the four seminars
on employment, education, recrea-
ton, and youth activities. A ques-
ton and answer period will follow
all seminar speakers.
The meeting on employment will
be led by Erma Clardy and Cecil
E. Newman, newspaper editor and
director of Negro Personnel at the
Twin Cities Ordnance Plant, will
speak on the local employment stu
alton.
The speaker for the seminar on
education is Robert Johnson, pro-
fessor of history at Union Uni
versity, Richmond, Va, now a stu
dent of the Graduate School of the
University of Minnesota. Leo Bo-
hanon, director of the Social Serv-
ice, Department of Minneapolis
Public Relief, will be the research
leader.
Kay Patterson, Council member,
will preside over the recreation
seminar; Miss Ann Brinley will
speak and answer questions.
The division interested in youth
activities has selected Mrs. Marion
Guggins, regional Girl Scout Di-
rector, as the speaker for it's SEM
mar. Mrs. Wreatha Maxwell will
preside.
On Sunday, April %, at a p. M,
at the Phyllis Wheatley House, the
Council will sponsor a public meet

(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 factual basis
for action may be assembled from
available data about the employ
ment office area;
(e) provide list of source ma
terials for reference.
The material is being introduced
in War Manpower Commission, Re-
gion 8, during the week br=
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, Zone of the greatest handi-
caps to successful interviewing is
bias in some form. 1t may be ra-
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 calendar month
resulted in total loss of 1,125,00O
man-hours. The production loss
amounted to eight four-engine
bombers, and lis Thunderbolts OF
Hellcat single-engine fighter planes.
The Training Unit indicates that
the nation was confronted with
many problems at the end of World
War 1 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.

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 nomina-
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 its 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 a strong fight be
put up on the bill, the National
Council of Negro Women, through
it's 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
ficulties that you have overcome in
having HR z 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.

knowing when the case would be

Early Monday morning I called
Attorney Ralph Stacker and made
an appointment. The earliest he
could give me was 11:30. After I
had left the house to keep my ap-
pointment, Mrs. Jackson called and
said the trial would be at eleven
o'clock. It 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

The next day when my husband
went out I called Mr.. Hunt and
asked him why he wanted to "hn

no truth in his statement. He said
l never would have mentioned it
again if Rev. Ware hadn't told
Deacon Tarver, after l spoke to
him about it. Mr.. Hunt continued,

st. James called me and told me
that she saw where was divorcing
my wife, and asked who was going

for my husband to know that I had
