known as the -Four Riff Boys, and another mem
Der of that original group was Ivory Deacon
Watson, lead tenor with the Inkspots.
When the times changed, so did Hoppy and
Ivory. And together with the aid Of Billy Kenny
and Charlie Fuqua they gravitated to ballad
singing and vocal rhythms.
Hoppy can recall tougher days right after
Moe Gale had discovered them singing as stage
hands backstsgc at the N. Y. Paramount. Gale
had sent them to England with Jack Hylton's
orchestra and in London careless cleaner washed
their only white serge suits which they used in
tho act. "Wc put them on" remembers Hoppy,
"and the cuffs on tho legs and arms were shrunk
TO about half size. We we're really in a FIX" It
wouldn't have been so bad but on top of it all,
Hyton was expecting the famed Prince of Wales
in the audience chat night.
So the Inkspots came on in their shrunken
suits and sang "Your Fccrs Too Big" for the
Prince of Wales, now the Duke of Windsor. The
Prince was enthused and came backstage TO con.
graduate them-and their half-size pants.

ent" for Jobs and Justice. These
stamps can be displayed on your
stationary, sealing the back of

The Labor Committee of the
House of Representatives, is
now holding hearings on H. R.
1886, bill to make FEPC a per-
manent Commission. Testifying
before the Labor Committee last
week, Chairman Malcolm Ross,
of Fair Employment Practice
Committee, recalled a wave of
southern lynchings and north
ern race riots after the last war,
which he attributed to racial
contest for jobs. He said steps
should be taken now to prevent
similar postwar disturbances.
Mr.. Ross estimated that in the
postwar adjustment period
more than a million colored vet
Grams will be returning to civil
ian life and 100000 colored
workers will be shifting to
peacetime jobs. 1t is also esti-
mated by other authorities that
more than 56,0OO,OO0 Americans
will want jobs after the war,
and almost without exception
people are looking to industry
to providethe jobs; yet, it is said
industry never has provided
such jobs.
Unless some steps are taken
to prevent it, as usual, colored
people will be the first to be
fired and the last to be hired.
The FEPC is the one and only
organization that can effective
Iy combat this evil. The least
anyone can do is to write his
Congressman to support H. R.
1886. Also write Chairman Mary
T. Norton of the Labor Commit
tee, House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c., urging a ia
vorable report by the commit
tee and the enactment of the
bill by Congress.

Down Moses by F. H. Yancey,
in st Mark Auditorium, Thurs

you can safely attend the
show with the anticipation OF
something good. If any one
should be able to concoct some
thing good in the line Of dra-
ma, Fred should, as he is a
veteran of the stage, an ex-
cellent actor and director,
which puts him right in line to
qualify as a playwright.
For a steady, persistent
plugger, 1 have to hand it to
Anna Bobitt-Gardner. For
many a year I have wondered
how long she would continue
to be patient with the classes
Of children with whom she

has continued raising them
from childhood up to manhood
and womanhood, and this

be commended for her ambi-

Never a Dull Moment at the Gate USO Parties

How can the Guardhouse Growl
without Scotty Turner? Anyway,
the guards don't growl all the time
At least not the guards at the Main
Gate. There is usually something
or somebody to laugh about.
1t seems that there is some mis-
understanding about the wearing
of the cap, especially by some Off
GERS who come through the gate
Pfc. Elwood Goodson relates the
story about the officers who try to
leave the station without caps. The
guard holds his salute while the
officer says, Wait until l get my
hat"
He then starts looking for his
chapeau, usually finding it in the
rear seat, dOns it, salutes, and drives
on.
Besides listening to the myriad
excuses OF the Marines, the guards
also have to contend with civilians
One day a mother and daughter
drove UP and asked to see the COM
manding Officer. The guard asked
the lady if it was a business call.
She replied, Yes, I would like to
Imperial Valley press., 1944-08-06

get plane ride to Florida to see
my SON."
The guard tactfully told the lady
that this is a training base and
not commercial airport.
Corp. Richard Waller was amused
at the colored girl who wanted to
get on the base to see a man about
a job. The corporal asked his name.
The darkie replied. "Ah don't know
his name, but ah knows him"
We'll, where does he work?" ask
ed the corporal
"Ah don't know that, either"
drawled the girl, but ah knows
him"
What kind of job do you want?"
insisted the corporal.
We'll. ah don't know what kind
of job it is, all ah know is it's a Mr..
somebody, and ah knows him"
At this. Corp. Waller gave up.
Standing out in the hot sun all
day is no picnic for our guards, but

cOunterbalance the heat and the
mOnotony of refusing exits every
day for the same reasons.
