can act only as a policeman, find
ing a w~rongdoer here and there.
Only the people themselves can
really end racial discrimination,
through understanding, sympathy,
and public action. But there is
evidence that the American peo-
pie as individuals are beginning to
think and act. One hundred
thousand Americans have petit
toned the War Department to
have at least one division in the
Army containing both Negroes
aud whites. A separate petition
was signed by American white
men OF draft age who asked to be
assigned to such a division-many
of these were Southerners.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
In Houston, Texas, the mayor
and a group of prominent citizens
advertised in the local papers that
no disturbance would be tolerat-
ed that would blaeken the reputa-
ton of Houston when the Negroes
of that city celebrated Junetteenth
Day, in honor of the emancipation
of the slaves. 1t began with thea
statement, Don't do Hitler'sl
work" and warned citizens mott
to repeat rumors. The celebra-
ton was peacefully carried out.
1t is unfortunate that in Beau
mont, Texas, similar effective ac-
ton was not undertaken and a
serious riot occurred.
JUST FOLKS
In the most disastrous of re-
cent riots in Detroit, a number of
obscure bystanders performed
heroic actions.
A white passenger on a street
| ear spoke to the mob and dissuad-
ed them from searching the EAR.
Two women, a mother and
daughter. realizing that the Neg
F., 70 passenger "a in danger, shell
| tered him so that when the rioters
looked into the car he was eff
fectively hidden.
In a bus going south recently
the white passengers all remain
ed standing rather than occupy
the white seats of a Jim Crow
bus.
During the recent disturbances
in New York's Harlem, a group
of Negroes stood in front Of the
restaurant of a white proprietor
who had been their friend and in
this way protected 1t from being
broken into and destroyed by the
mob.
In the last analysis these home
ly incidents tell the real story.
They tell us that the conscience
of America is aroused, that there
is work to be done, and that some
of us are already trying to do it.
1.-THE CHALLENGE
With Americas great tradition
of democracy, the United States
should clean its own house and
get ready for a better twenty
first century. Then 1t could put
its hand to the building Of the
United Nations, sure of support
from all the yellow and black
races where the war Is being
fought, sure that victory in this
war will be in the name, not of
one race or Of another, but of the
universal Human Race.

for the defendant. Major Ransom
told the assistant county attorney
that he wanted the defendant to re-
ceive a six months suspended SEN

hundred dollar fine, and that he
wanted to testify. Ransom was
called to the witness stand after
the representative from the county

matter.

his opening statement to the Court.

he did" Major Ransom denied that
Switek had offered him a sand

were plainly confused when Major

defendant had not told the truth

On Monday morning, May 29, the
defendant, Anton Switek, appeared
in court with counsel and pleaded
guilty.
Claims He Didn't Know Law
He admitted that he refused to
serve Mrs. Ransom. Switek said
that he did not know anything
about the Equal Rights Law and
that ne refused to serve Major Ran
som a meal, but did offer to serve
him a sandwich. Switek declared
that he refused to serve colored
people because of the complaints of
his white customers.
Judge Boerner turned to look for
the penalty in the law books and
then asked the representative from
the county attorneys office what
recommendation did he have in the
matter. 81 do not have any recon-
mendation," he replied. Whereupon
the judge asked that the complain

for his suggestion in the matter.
The representative from the county

Major Ransom was sitting in the
famous 9Th Illinois regiment to
give the defendant and others the

 TARGET FOR
 RAID TODAY
Worlds Heaviest Aerial Offensive His 750-Mile
 Arc in HifIer's 5 Europe

LONDON. April 26. American heavy bombers smashed targets in the Brunswick area, German air craft production center, carrying the pre-invasion aerial offensive, the heaviest the world has ever seen, into the twelfth consecutive day.
 The bomber fleet which thund- cred over Germany for the third time in as many days. was decribed in an American announcement as of medium strength. and was es- corted by up to 750 fighters, which indicated the total force was similar to that of over 1000 planes from Britain which hit three Nazi air. fields in France and industrial tar gets in Germany yesterday, but smaller than the 2.000-piane ar madas sent out by daylight five times since the gigantic offensive began.
 The German radio declared the American force invading the air over the Reich tangled with Nazi fighters in fierce battles as the air drive which scourged enemy targets in 75O-mile arc across Europe rolled forward.
 Fighters Raid Coast
 While the heavy bombers con- tinued their unprecedented cam paign to knock out the enemy's air defenses, flat 100 lighter planes blackened the skies over the English Channel irf an. onslaught against targets in occupied territory. Similar attacks cost three bombers yester- day. Explosions from the assaults were heard all the way across the channel.
 Tn the II days of the mightiest sky offensive which lambasted the Germans. over 50,O00 tons of ex- plosiyes and thousands of incend- iaries were dropped and the raids cost the Americans and British prob- ably more than 2,300 airmen and 389 planes.
 Most of the men are believed safe as prisoners, and the material cost includes about $50.000.00 in aircraft.

 Shemya Island, in size only five square miles, is now one of the most important military bastions in the western Aleutians. Engineers during the past 10 moIxhs have almost rebuilt the island to make it impregnable to assault.
 Despite extremely rough living conditions for the first few months, the island is now as comfortable as any in the Aleutian chain.
