Zone Number Essential

Postmaster George E. Starr is
making an effort to get Seattle
merchants to include the zone
number of their places of bust
ness as part of their advertising
in the future. In a circular let
ter, Postmaster Starr said:
'erhe zone number is now an
essential part of the address and
will be permanent require
ment. Every advertisement that
shows the street location Of the
advertiser should also show his
zone number, even though his
advertisement may not solicit re-
Spouse through the mails. His
use of the zone number will in
fluence others to do likewise and
will be a valuable influence and
contribution toward increasing
the use of zone numbers by the
general public which must be
accomplished to obtain the high
est degree of benefit for every
one who sends and receives
mail"

COMMUNISTS
AFTER NEGROES
SAYS LEADER

NEW YORK-In an address
on Communists and the Me-
gro," delivered at a conference
here attended by moderators of
Catholic Labor Schools in greater
New York, Frank R. Crosswaith,
a Catholic and a Colored labor
leader. said that although Com
munists are increasing their eff
forts to win over Colored people,
the latter are not being misled.
Mr.. Crosswaith was the first
to bring out the charge of Com
munist influence in the George
Washington Carver School here,
organized to provide educational
facilities for adult residents of
Harlem.
Later, six directors of the
school resigned on the ground
that the board was under Com
munist control, and Walter
White, president of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, referred to
the Carver School and similar
institutions in Chicago and Los
Angeles as examples of Com
munist efforts to spread their
doctrines among colored people
in this country.
1t has been disclosed that a
number of CATHOLIC leaders in
the movement to promote inter
racial justice were asked to
serve on the Board of the Car
yer School, but declined because
of alleged Communist influence
in the school. These Catholic
leaders include the Rev. John
LaFarge, executive editor OF
America and spiritual director o.
the Catholic Interracial Council
, George K. Hunton, editor of tn,
Interracial Review, and Mr.
r Crosswaith.
I As a labor leader associated
| with the American labor move
z ment for more than 25 years, Mr.
| Crosswaith said in his address
4 that he considered "the activi
: ties of the Communists amonl

Many others should have good

world. This old Southern SUI
