PRISON Will NOT RETURN
TO jim CROW RULE
DESPITE RACE RIOT

SAN QUENTIN, CAL, Apr. 2
(ANP)-Although the lifting of
the segregation rule at the prison
here caused a riot among $500 Ne
gro and white convicts, Warden
Clinton Duffy said that the old
practice of Jim crow would not
again be resorted to.
Thrown together in the mess hall
Sunday for their evening meal, Ne
gro and white prisoners began
stabbing each other with forks,
throwing crockery and it was not
until guards entered and began fir
ing that quiet reigned. The riot
lasted a half hour.
Warden Duffy, who has become
known for his uplifting prison rules
first initiated the new policy at
breakfast which went along in an
orderly fashion; the dinner out
break occurred while Duffy was
away entertaining a group Of legis-
lators in his home. Abolition of the
Jim crow rule which separated
white and Negro prisoners in the
mess hall was authorized by Cali
fornia prison officials, headed by
Richard A. MCGEE, new director Of
correction.

n. J. HAS SECOND HEARING
AN FEp( BILL

TRENTON, N. j., Apr. 2 (ANP)
The second and likely the final
hearing on the proposed FEPC bills
was held here last week. The meas
ures met with little opposition and
Republicans and Democrats alike
compromised to urge a speedy pass
age of bill No. 321, which will be
known as the claw aginst discrim-
nation"
During the first hearing the meas
ure became political football, with
the Democrats opposing the bill un-
less it were amended by the assem-
bly,. This bill was introduced by
New Jerseys lone Negro assembly,
man, DR.. J. O. Hill. The measure is
reputedly too weak to serve the
purpose Of killing discrimination.
Penalties for violation of the act
are one year in jail or a $500 fine
or both.
Accusations to the effect that the
bill would meet death if prolonged
by the judiciary committee caused
heated discussion between Atty.
J. Leroy Jorden, and the chairman
of the assembly. One opponent was
allowed to speak against the bill
when others who favored a speedy
passage suggested that the measure
be enacted Immediately.

GIANT SOLDIER
FIGHTS IN AAU

BOSTON, April 2. - A man.
mouth Negro soldier - confident
he'll wear the worlds heavyweight
crown after the war-displays his
fistic wares today as the National
A.A.U. boxing tournament opens at
Boston garden for two-day stand.
With SO simon-pure leather push
ers gathered from the armed serv-
ices and from 16 A.A.U. district
associations, the spotlight will be
on Fort Devens and Chicago.
Towering six feet seven inches
and weighing 265 pounds, this
mountain that walks like man is
far taller and heavier than any
worlds professional champion -
perhaps than any boxer who ever
fought. He even dwarfs the mas
sive Primo Carnera who tipped the
beam at 254, and stood six feet five
and-three-quarter inches.
The glum-faced corporal cap
tured the New England amateur
title in sectional eliminations last
Monday by literally soaring his
opponents out of the ring. Wagner
knocked out his first foe in one
round, chilled his second in two.
Hailed as the greatest heavy
weight prospect to appear in mod
ern times in the amateurs, Wagner
will be making his first appearance
in the national tourney where cham
pion Joe Louis showed as member
of the Michigan A.A.U. team from
Detroit IL years ago.
Now "a, the Chicago avalanche
has been fighting as an amateur
for five years. However, he has
seen scant action in recent months
because of his Army duties.

FOR GEN. HARMON
Nine Other Airmen Miss

In The Pacific.
PEARL MARBoR, March 8.

PEARL MARBOR, March 8. -
UP) - Hundreds of American
planes and ships tonight searched
wide areas of the Pacific for 1t.
Gen. Willard F. Harmon and nine
other airmen missing in an Army
transport on a routine flight.
All available air and surface
craft were dispatched to the area
in which the plane was believed to
have gone down. 1t. Gen. Robert
c. Richardson, Jr., commander of
Pacific Ocean areas, said in an
announcement.
AS the hours passed, however,
and no news was received Of the
missing plane, it was feared it'had
sunk with all occupants aboard.
But the search went on in a last
hope that the men had been able
to escape and were drifting on a
raft.
Harmon was commander of a
large part of Army Air Forces in
the Pacific and deputy commander
of the Goth (Superfortress) Army
Air Force, in which role he had
been responsible for destructive
raids on Japanese industries and
war installations by Marianas-bas-
