Races Receive Freedom
Pointing to Russia, which, he
said, must be viewed as a friend,
he declared that her isolation from
western democracies following the
revolution led to her internal de-
velopment under a system wherein
the many races of her republics
received equal freedom.
With her southern border touch
ing only areas populated by colored
races, Mr.. Brandt pointed out, Rus
STA is in a position that requires
special consideration for the nom
white races. The United States,
however, has its own problem with
its 100000 Negroes, whose treat
ment is watched closely by other
racial groups of color throughout

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Plans for segregating Negroes
in the proposed War Memorial
Stadium for the nations capitol
where the Army-Navy football
games of the future may be played,
are rumored to be included and
shown on the preliminary archi-
tectural drawings prepared by a
Texas architect under Sen. Theo-
dore Bilbo's direction. Bilbo, as
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, is virtually mayor of
the District of Columbia.
Reports, as yet unconfrmed, say
the drawings show separate box of
fees where whites and Negroes are
to purchase tickets. A staircase
leading to the peanut roost" Sec
ton reserved for Negroes is also
indicated on the drawings, it is
said.
JimcrO Improbable
Except for the Uline Arena, there
has been no segregation in Wash
ington for public sport events.
While the Uline Arena excludes
Negroes from ice hockey games,
the ice-capades, rodeos, and similar
events held there, solicits Negro
patronage to boxing matches and
seats them Unfortunately. A boy
colt of the boxing matches, spon-
sored by the Washington Tribune,
has made boxing promotions there
Improbable, however.
In Griffith Stadium, where the
Washington Senators play big
league baseball and the Washing
ton Red Skins play professional
football, there is no segregation
practiced or attempted. Boxing
matches held at the stadium draw
large crowds of Negroes as well as
whites.

Wehofen, Near Duisburg. Ger many, March 27. UP)-German machine -glmners raked the crowded entrances of an abandoned coal mine to prevent the surrender of 1000 of their own civilians who had huddled inside without food and water for four days and nights.
 These civilians, mostly old men, women and children who had been trapped in no-man's land, still were living in the mine today.
 At least 10 of their number had been killed. Some were dying. Some were pregnant women already in labor. All were weak from hunger.
 The Germans committed the atro- city last Saturday when an Amer ican infantry company of the 79th division swung in for the kill on the heavily defended mining area.
 When the Americans opened huge bombardment preceding the Rhine crossing the mine workers, their wives and children sought shelter in the old mine. huge slag heap under which the Germans had built three long concrete tunnels as an air raid shelter.
 German troops fell back south of the town as the infantrymen, led by Capt. George Dale of Live Oak. Fla, attacked. From their new line the Germans could see both the Americans and the terrified civilians.
 The civilians, knowing the Amer jeans were surrounding their slag heap, started to run out waving a white sheet. Batteries of German machine guns raked the entrances, felling at least 10.
 The civilians scrambled back and Dale,s company moved on not know they were there.
 After another day in the mine, the civilians delegated German Red Cross nurse Anna HuSs to try to reach the American lines. AS she started, German patrol fired an- other machine gun round and shouted that the people were traitors.
 The nurse, wounded in the left thigh, finally reached the American lines and reported the plight of the civilians. Military government officials returned with her.
 I visited the mine today and talked with Mai William M. Kane of Ardmore, Pa. in charge of the military government staff. He said in the area outside there was only one pump which was furnishing water barely sufficient for the chil- dren inside.
 Kane said he had five bakeries in the neighborhood ready to start turning out bread for the refugees

Beavers Slated
To Win Series
On Home Grounds
BY UNITED PRESS

The Portland Beavers play host
to the hard-hitting but erratic
Sacramento Solons this week, with
the odds good they will increase
their present Az game lead in the
Pacific Coast league to a mid
season advantage that will be hard
to overcome
The Beavers, billed at the start
of the season as potential sluggers,
have turned up mound corps
with a distinct professional flavor.
Unless the Solons can get the range
on such veteran hurlers as Ad
Liska, Roy Helser, Jack Using and
Jake Mooty, Manager Earl Sheely
may have to decide on a perma-
nent berth in. the second division.
San Francisco and Hollywood
play a split series this week that
may shape up a bit better than the
usual first division team versus
cellar dweller contests. After a
disastrous start the Twinks, now
under Manager Buck FawSett, have
been playing better than 500 base
ball for the past several weeks.
The transfer CT Vern Reynolds
from the San Diego Padres seems
to have steadied the wobbly Twink
infield.
Meantime, the Seals have been
showing some improvement. Jack
Shope, latest addition to their
mound staff, probably won't ar
rive from the east in time for this
weeks games but he should streng-
then the hurting department con-
siderably.
In other games this week the
Oakland Acorns invade Los Angeles.
Pepper Martins San Diego Padres
Journey to the lair of the second
place Rainiers, who seem to have
little chance of getting higher than
that in the league standings for
quite a while.
