Jack Dempsey
Sees Chance or
Conn Against Joe

New York City-Commander
Jack Dempsey, just home from
the wars, is among a small min
GRITTY that feels Conn has good
chance to beat Joe Louis next
June. To Jack, the Louis-Conn
fight is very much similar to
the first Dempsey-Tunn fight
when Jack lost the title after
being three years out of the
ring.
Joe is a puncher and Billy
is a boxer" says Jack, "just as
| was a puncher and Gene a
boxer, but there's this differ
ence. Conn has been out of ac-
ton as long as Louis. Tuney
fought five times the year be-
fore he beat me for the title.

perience, of course" Jack re-
marked, "but off-hand I'd say

Mamie Seamon, who has sue

as Joe's trainer, has this to say
about Jack Dempsey's remark
as to Louis fitness after four
inactive years people who
don't know shouldn't talk"
"Why being in the army, Louis
stayed in shape better than any
idle champion in history" he
added testify" Joe, once he
got through with his basic train
ing and that calvary business,
was in Special Services which
meant he boxed exhibitions
most Of the time. That alone
would have kept him from get
ting rusty, but l know that every
time he got furlough, he was

More Negro Boys
To Get Scout
Program In South

The Carnegie Corporation of
New York has appropriated $685.
600, to the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca to help bring the Cub Scout
and Boy Scout Programs to more
Negro boys in the South, it was
announced by DR.. Stanley A.
Harris, National Director of the
lnterracial Service of the Boy
Scouts of America. This fund,
he said, will help local Boy
Scout Councils to purchase
camp sites on which Negro boys
may camp.
This gift" said DR.. Harris,
supplements a grant of $4,000
given to us last June by the
General Education Board. The
$4,000 grant was to help us OBJ
tain men for full time profes.
sional service as Field Execu.
tives. The new $4,000 grant
will help us obtain camps where
the outdoor program of Scout
ing may be carried on"
Any Scout Council in the
South needing a Negro Field
Executive or a campsite for Ne
gro boys may obtain grant up
to $1,000 in each case, provided
the white citizens of the COM
munity contribute one third of
the needed funds and the Me-
groes of the community also
contribute the remaining one
third.

402 accessions to the church, and
1872 baptisms.
Five men were approved for

as Prairie View capitalized to

the game on ice for the boys

State got off to a poor start
when in the opening kickoff,
Freeman fumbled and failed to
make any gain on the next two
plays deep in Prairie Views
territory. Beard for Prairie
View drove the ball on two
plays to States ten yard stripe,
but a fifteen yard penalty put
the ball back on the 35. A see

Organized Group
Backs Gary In
School Row Says
investigator

Chicago = Contrary to the
stories in the daily papers, the
school strikes in Gary, Ind, and
Chicago give real evidence of
being fomented by an organized
group or groups, according to
on-the-spot investigations made
by Miss Mona Jensen of the
NAACP New York office.
In Gary not only former
known Bundists are active but
also followers of Father Cough
lin, Gerald L. K. Smith and
members of the Klu-Klux Khan, !"
Miss Jensen said. "All have a
stake in this Froebel school
strike and they are acting &C.
cordingly," she emphasized.
The school strikes started on
September Is at Froebel high
school in Gary, where Negroes
and whites have gone to school
together for over twenty years.
Miss Jensen's report contin-
ues: "The school strikes in Chi
cago are undoubtedly the result
of mounting group antagonists.
The antagonisms can be traced
to the community's failure to
alleviate over-crowding in hous-
ing, discrimination in employ
ment and in the lack of sue
cess of various civic groups to
reform the citys school sys-
tenn"

Jewish Journal
Hits OAR Ban
On Hazel Scott

New York-The refusal of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution to allow Hazel Scott,
pianist, the use of Constitution
Hall in Washington, D. c., for
a recital is scored in an editor
ial in "OPINION," national
Jewish monthly. The editorial,
written by Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise, declares:
America has been given fur
iously to think by the recent
performance of the OAR. Their
denial to Hazel Scott, a gifted
artist of the Negro race, of the
privilege of giving a recital at
Constitution Hall, in Washing
ton serves to tell anew of the
descent of the OAR. They have
indeed descended to depths of
un-Americanism, which are not
nearly as serious in their i'm
plicationS to the Negro race as
to their own organization. If
the word reaction" was sub
stituted for the term "revolu-
ton" men would know exactly
where the OAR stands. 1t is
evidently ready to become an
instrument of reaction and of
divisiveness in American life.
1T is good to note that not
few members of the OAR
have already threatened to re-
sign unless the resolution be
rescinded. But even the rescind-
ing of the resolution will not be
enough. Members of the OAR
must dare to do battle that it
again become an American in
stitution and not an instrument
of Facism and its intolerances.
The decision not to permit Hazel
Scott to give a recital in Con-
stitution Hall is grievous af-
front not only to the artist, but
to her entire race. Above all,
it is a lamentable reputation
of the ideals of those from
whom the Daughters of the
American Revolution proudly
claim descent"

Struggle Effects
All Peoples
Says Robson

Africans, Indians and colon
ial peoples everywhere, as well
as working class people Of all
races in every country, have a
stake in the outcome of the pre-
sent struggle of the Indonesian
people to wrest their freedom
from the Dutch" said Paul
Robson, Chairman of the Coun-
Gil on African Affairs, in COM
menting on latest developments
in the Netherlands East Indies.
THE victory over fascism will
be real,' he said, only if i'm
perialism is wiped out along
with it, so that the masses of
people can live and order their
own lives instead Of existing and
laboring for the profit of alien
rulers or a privileged minority.
This is what the Indonesians
are fighting for. Their fight is
that Of all oppressed peoples"
II was the appreciation Of this
fact, Robson pointed out, which
led to the laudable action of
west coast longshoremen and
Australian dockworkers refus-
ing to load ships with supplies
for breaking the Indoesian re-
volt. He also paid tribute to
the National Maritime Union for
its alert support of the Indones-
ians.
