Seed Soaking

If seeds are kept under water
longer than "a hours, they expire
from oxygen starvation. In hot, dry
weather, it is sometimes an advan-
tage to soak most seed not more
than IL hours to speed termination,
but in spring, when most soils are
too wet anyway, nothing is gained,
and some damage might be done.

WILL ANALYZE 4DMINIS-
TRATION OF

Vice Presidential nominee Harry
S. Truman's voting record during
the last sessions of Congress indie
ates that he favored passage Of the
anti-poll tax bill and was for the I'M
restricted right of soldiers to vote
in the Presidential election, according
TO an analysis made by the National
Non-P Partisan Council on Public AT
fairs of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sor
ority.
Senator Truman, who is chairman
OF the Senate Committee to investl-
gate the national defense program,
twice voted for cloture on fillibust-
ers against the anti-poll tax bill
once on November %, 1912 and a.
gain on May Is, 1914.
He voted for the original soldier
vote bill and opposed the Eastland a.
mendment which emasculated the bill
by putting the distribution Of soldiers
ballots in the hands of the states. In
addition, Senator Truman supported
the unsuccessful Barley amendment
to the soldiers vote bill which would
have made it possible for %servicemen
and women to receive Federal elect
ion ballots after taking an oath that
they had applied to their states but
had received no ballot, and would
have given the vote to civilian person
mel located in war theatres. Prev
iously Senator Truman had voted to
support the anti-lynching bills.
The AKA Council announced that
it would soon reveal the results OF
lists analysis Of the administration
of the Republican Vice Presidential
nominee, Governor John Bricker Of
Ohio.

NEW
UNIT FOR NEGROES

Washington, DC, July 30 (PPNS
When Negro war workers move into
$4,000 homes now being built, more
than 10000 publicly financed dwell
ings will be occupied by Negro ten
ants, Philip M. Klutznick, Commits
sioner of the Federal Public Housing
Authority Of the National Housing
Agency, announced.
The peacetime, low rent program
carried out principally by local hous-
ing authorities under the United Stat
es Housing Act has supplied 46, 900
permanently built dwellings to meet
the recognized need Of Negroes for
safe, decent housing. Of the 65.O06
war dwellings for essential Negro
war workers, $4,000 are of pernlan-
ent construction. This brings to TO-
600 the number of permanent dwell
ings available to Negro families.
The remaining A 1000 war housing
units for Negro occupancy are tenn

ings, conversions, t~railers and other
stop-gap housing. The scarcity Of
critical materials, which necessitated
the suspension Of the low-rent pro-
gram early in the war, has required
the use Of temporary construction in
most publicly financed war housing
built during the last two years.
THE expansion of our program Of
providing housing for the growing
numbers of Negro war workers has
been achieved in the face Of material
shortages and site selection difficult
les" the commissioner said.
Negro tenants are already living in
some 400 public housing projects in
1925 localities of 40 states and the
District Of Columbia.
I'VE are endeavoring to see to it
that every American on the produc-
ton line is as adequately housed as
our limited materials will permit.
Good housing means heightened NOR
ale and increased wal production"

Denies He
Split In
Ranks
Us Imminent

Washington, DC,-Horace Cay
ton, columnist for the Pittsburgh
Courier, has denied that his column
Of July % predicted a split in the
ranks Of the NAACP was immin-
ent.
The denial was contained in q tele-
gram addressed to Leslie Perry, aG-
ministrative assistant in the Wash
ington Bureau Of the NAACP. Per-
ry wired Cayton because of an anon
ymous news release, sent to most
newspapers from Chicago, but bear
ing a New York dateline. The an
onymous release stated:
"The inevitable split in the ranks
Of the NAACP over the associations
new policy as projected by its execu-
tive secretary, Walter White, was
predicted last week by Horace Cay
ton, social worker and newspaper
columnist."
Cayton declared in his telegraphed
reply;
My column appearing July % was
not intended as an attack upon the
NAACP. | tried to show association
must be interested in the platforms
of political parties dealing with SOC
ial ard economic questions and can
and should point their applications to
its membership. Further tried to in
dictate gradual growth of its philoso-
ply to include the common man Of
the world and its closer association
with labor. | did not indicate there
would be a split in the association
but tried to cnvey my feelings that
there were certain differences Of
opinion incident to the widening Of
the associations philosophy and mem
bership. 1t is my belief that the as
ISOLATION will continue to grow and
more and more express the view
point of the common man. This
will disturb both white and Negro
arch conservatives"
n commenting upon the anony-
nous attack, Walter White, NAACP
secretary, said:
The person who sent this re
lease is trying to create a division
where none exists. Mr.. Cayton's
column in the Courier is in plain
language. The NAACP is growing,
as he has noted. Its philosophy is
growing along with its much broader
membership. 1t never intended to be
a narrow civil rights organization,
but for many years it has done its
most spectacular work in the civil
rights field. Today, fortunately, it
has more members and more resourc-
es and is thus able to broaden its ac-
t%ivities. In truth the NAACP has
always fought for the common man
and his basic rights. We shall con
tinue to do so more vigorously and
in cooperation with all other groups
! with the same objective. It is a
strange thing to be criticized for
championnig the cause Of the com
mon man. We are not ashamed of
: this, nor will be be intimidated by
news releases from persons or organ
i~zations afraid to sign their namt' TO
such charges.

Supreme Court Winner
Leads Negro Texas Voting
Whites Cooperate;
Friction Absent.
(BY DON DAVIS

HOUSTON, August l (ANP) -
Minus any form Of violence, Texas
Negroes voted in the State Democrat
ic primary Saturday. Among the
first to cast their votes at Precinct
As, located near Phillis Wheatley
High School, were DR.. Lonnie E.
Smith, plaintiff in the case that re-
suited in the supreme court granting
to Texas Negroes the right to vote
in the primaries, and his wife.
DIR. and Mrs. Smith arrived at the
polls shortly after seven o'clock and
according to James Luizza, election
Judge. they were the first to cast vot-
es. However, when reporters arriv-
ed at the booth as DIR. Smith was
gettiny out of his car, a line of APP
proximately 2 Negroes was formed.
AS. DR.. Smith received his ballot
cameras went into action and bulbs
flashed on him until he had cast his
vote and left the scene.
Judge Luizza and his assistants
were exceptionally courteous to DR..
Smith and the other colored Americ-
ans who were casting their first vot-
es i'll the primary. All assistance
asked was given and within a few
minutes more than so votes were in
the ballot box.
A check of precincts throughout the
Houston area showed that only n
judge defied the supreme courts de-
cision that Negroes were eligible to
participate in the Democratic prim-
airy. Judge c. L. Anderson, Precinct
1873, located in Belaire, a satellite town
south of the Houston city limits, ad-
mitted to Houston Informer Publish
er Carter w. Wesley and members of
his staff that several Negroes pres
ented themselves at the poll over
which he presided and he refused to
permit them to vote.
H. O.. Cosby judge Of Precinct 50,
located in a section where Negroes
live in small numbers, after having
declared earlier in the week that he
would refuse Negroes the right to
vote, changed his mind after County
Chairman M. L. O. Andrews warned
him that refusal to. permit qualified
Negroes to vote might inhalidate the
entire vote at his box.
accompanied by a Life photograph
er, 4eyerters interviewed MIR. Cosby
early Saturday evening and after he
had given assurance that Negroes
would be permitted to vote at his
both, he readily consented to the
photographers request that he pose
for a picture with the colored news
people.
Mr.. Cosby was very cordial in re-
ceiving the reporters.
A highlight of the historical ocas-
ion was organization of Precinct 25
by Negroes and the election of a
white woman, Miss Lottie Wallis, an
election judge, to cast the precincts
one vote at the Democratic conven-
ton this Saturday.
The precinct convention, after cleo
ting E. H. Harrison, labor leader, as
temporary chairman, passed a resolu-
ton demanding that the state Demo-
cratic convention select others who
will support the Democratic party's
nominees.
The one incident witnessed by re-
porters that married the perfectly
peaceful atmosphere that prevailed at
all booths was when officials at Pre-
cinct "a resented the taking of pic
lures of Negro voters by Lies white
photographer.
They insisted that the photograph
er was trying to stir up strife and
