The humor of strict court pro-
cedure and testimony from witness
ses often serves to break the tense
mes of the solemn atmosphere.
When one of the Italian prisoners
was asked how much his alleged
attacker weighed he mumbled an
audiable something in Italian
which the translators interpreted
as meaning, "Bless God, how the
hell do I know"
To the question of how tall his
attacker was another Italian re-
piled, "He's right over there if you
want to measure him."

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. "a
(ANP) P)-Recording the work of the
San Francisco FEPC for the past
nine months the regional office has
revealed that $40 discriminatory
cases involving thousands of minor
ity workers in war industry were re-
ceived by the west coast offices and
that while this was the highest num-
Der docketed in any Of the agency's
IL regions, the New York region
came second with SAL complaints.
About 474 Of these cases in Cali
fornia were closed during the nine
months; the New York region closed
461 cases in the same period of time.
Specific accomplishments include
favorable adjustments with several
transit companies, including the
Los Angeles Railway Co. and an
nouncement by the Key system of
it's intention to employ qualified
Negro car and bus operators.
FEPC interventions resulted in
announcement by large craft un-

BLOOD TO Save LIFE
OF NEGRO WOMAN

CHICAGO, Nov. 80 (ANP)-
More than 200 Chicagoans rallied
to the cause of shutting out death
from the Saladin family when it
was publicized that the mother,
Mrs. Clara Saladin, "a, was in need
of a rare type of blood.
Now resting easy in the Wom-
ems and Children's hospital, the
woman was given her second trans
fusion of blood by a white person.
Mother of two boys, Calvin, 16, a
high school junior, and Gerald, 1S,
now working on Mississippi farm,
Mrs. Saladin last week seeking to
procure blood donors, directed a
letter to a Chicago daily, stating:
81 think it fair that I let you
know I am a Negro. I can't be-
lieve that will make much differ
ence when a person wants only a
chance to live"
Scarcely four or five hours had
passed when more than 200 per-
sons had offered their blood but
doctors found only II Of the num-
ber to possess the rare 8 R.H,,
negative type. All the II were
whites.
Mrs. Saladin, in the hospital for
the past seven weeks, has come
down from 13O pounds which she
normally weighs, to SO pounds.

ENGLISH Use NEGRO"
MORE Than 500 YEARS

NEW YORK, Nov. 80 (ANP)-
The word Negro is more than 500
years old, recent study of H. L.
Mencken in an article, "Designa-
tions for Colored Folks" in Amer
ican Speech, revealed. Contrary to
popular belief, however, the word
is Spanish and Portuguese meaning
"black," rather than an American
ism. 1t was inserted into the Eng
lish as early as the 18th century
according to Mencken. "By 1887
northern English form meyer
had appeared, and it was from this
that both the Irish 'naygur' and the
English-American 'nigger' were
derived"
Negro publicists for long time
have toyed with the word by pro-
posing to substitute other designa-
tions as "race" and "group." Men,
cken states that of all these sug-
gestions, one "racemen," has sur
vived more or less and the word
group is widely used. "Our
group" "group man." and "group
leader" all flourish.
Lester Aglar Walton, then a
journalist, is credited with having
pioneered in the work of demanding
that the word be capitalized. Now,
most American publications use the
capital N. The word Negress was
! tossed out long ago, Mencken said

COURT MARTIAL TO SIFT
EVIDENCE AGAINST ~ CTS

SEATTLE, Nov. 80 (ANP)-Evi-
dence for and against the AZ Ne
gro soldiers charged with staging
a riot last Aug. IA against Italian
prisoners of war at Fort Lawton
continued to pile up as the court
martial hearings passed into their
second week. One Italian prisoner
was found dead, hanging from a
tree, after the riot scene was
cleared.
Three of the AZ soldiers are be-
ing tried for murder while 80 are
being tried for rioting in an un-
completed wooden structure stu
ated on a 360-foot bluff overlook
ing Pudget Sound. When the court
is in session, the AZ accused soldiers
seldom move. Their expressions
rarely change. When other Negro
soldiers testify for the prosecution
they seem to stare at them def
antly with half-closed eyes.

CHICAGO ARTISTS HOLD
CULTURAL CONFERENCE

CHICAGO, Nov. 80 (ANP)-De-
termined to close ranks in the
struggle for complete victory over
fascism on all fronts and secure
their positions in the postwar
world, 120 Negro and white artists,
writer's, dramatists and musicians
moved to form a permanent organi-
zation at a South Side Cultural
conference here, addressed by lead
ers in various fields.
Keynote speaker of the five hour
conference was A. C. Spectorsky,

Sun, who spoke of dangers on the
cultural front and declared that art
must be given to the people to as
sure their progress, and William L.
Patterson, assistant director of the
Abraham Lincoln school who in his
summation at the closing session
showed how the Confederacy had
won the Civil war on the cultural
front and stated that victory in the
cultural field was still to be at
tained. Frank Marshall Davis, poet
and Associated Negro Press execu-
tive. editor, served as conference
chairman.
To lay the groundwork for a per-
manent organization, a continua-
tions committee Of IL people, three
from each of the four panels on
writing, art, theatre and music,
were elected. The proposed feder-
alton of artists will be primarily
concerned with South Side artists
Negro and white, but hopes to en-
courage similar groups in other
parts of Chicago with eventually
a city-wide organization.
AS the conference opened, greet
ings were read by the chairman
from group of New York artists
headed by Rockwell Kent and Harry
Gottlieb. They expressed the hope
that a permanent organization
would result from the meeting and
offered to cooperate in any posi-.
Bile way.
Chairmen and speakers in indi
vidual panels included: Art, Re,

FROM RAID DRILLS

RALEIGH, Aug. IL -lRENorth
Carolina will be exempted by the
War department from manda-
tory air raid drills and practice
blackouts beginning at midnight to-
morrow, R. L. Mcmillan, state di-
rector of the Office of Civilian De-
tense, announced today.
South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida also will be exempted, the
War Department directive said.
In recent months, the army has
required practice drills and black
outs in the four states at least
once in each 90-day period.
The War Departments directive,
Mcmillan said, urged that civilian
defense organizations continue to
be maintained on a standby basis
for use in emergencies, including
those of purely civilian nature.
Each Of the states affected by the
new order already has in opera
ton an emergency plan by which
civilian defense units in every
community would be modified
should an emergency arise.

Black Hawks
Down Rangers
(By Associated Press)

Showing a surprising reversal OF
form after their 1t-5 beating by the
Toronto Maple Leafs last Sunday,
the Chicago Black Hawks thrashed
the New York Rangers S-3 in yes
terday's only scheduled National
Hockey League game.
In handing the rangers their sec.
ond straight defeat, the Windy City
outfit showed scoring punch
which may bode i'll for the highly
regarded Toronto and Montreal
sextets. The Black Hawks 13 goals
in two games tied Toronto's leading
total acquired in two games against
the Rangers and Hawks.
Held scoreless in the first period,
the Hawks broke loose for six
markers in the second stanza with
Lude Check tallying twice.
Veteran Earl Seibert, given a
major penalty for fighting with
New York's Walt Atanas in the
second period, returned to score
two goals in quick succession in
the final chapter.
The Rangers defeat dropped
them into a last place tie with the
Boston Bruins, who likewise have
lost both of their starts.
Two games are scheduled for to-
day involving all three OF the I'M
beaten teams. Probably the most
important will be played by the
