police how he had seen three men
carrying a heavy object into
shack near his farm. One of the
trio shot at him. He ran and
later from a distance saw the shack
in flames.
Police later discovered a woman's
partially burned body in a shallow
grave dug under the floor of the
fire demolished shack.
Finger prints revealed her iden-
tity. A police check revealed that
she had been friendly with Tyler,
who is alleged to be a panderer.
Search for Tyler revealed he had
fled town.
Police picked up George H.
Smith, 33, who had been living with
Tyler. Smith admitted to the po-
lice that he had driven Tyler to
Des Moines Sunday morning in the
latter's car. According to Smith
Tyler said he was on the way to
visit "sick relative" in Kansas
City. Smith says he planned to
take plane.
Smith drove back to Minneapolis
and was picked up by police who
are still holding him. He said Tyler
told him to take care of his auto
until he heard from him.
Tyler's apartment at "a Royal
ston is supposed to be deliberately
furnished and the usual grapevine
claims he has been supported in
style by several prostitutes. The
daily press stories say Smith told
police the murdered woman had
been giving her earnings as a
prostitute to Tyler, the hunted man,
for two years.
The chief motive for the muir
der established so far is that Tyler
was angry with the woman be-
cause she had recently given state
ments to the FBI. The U. S. gov
eminent has been engaged in a
campaign to rid Minneapolis of
white slavery operators. So far
it has concentrated on Negro sus-
poets.
In the past 10 months a large
number of men operating out of
Minneapolis have been given prison
terms for white slavery. The &C.
tivity of the FBI and the passage
of a law by the state legislature
has caused an exodus from the city
of most of the men suspected of
white slavery operations.
Tyler, who has lived here for
several years, evidently operated
very quietly

Bonneville. Mr.. Faison, a young
musician, is married and is the
father of two children. In the first
Mayor of Bonneville race he
placed third in a hot campaign.
In his platform Mr.. Faison urges
the Twin City Negro G. is, who are
young, to take advantage Of the
educational provision of the G. 1.

Much of the progress of the
Negro in the postwar period will
depend on the application, coopera-
ton of Negroes individually and
collectively, is the opinion of the
candidate for Mayor.

Real Estate Operators
Scored By Papers For
Grossly Unfair Terms

sale of the lots for months.
James B. Chandler, real estate
editor of the Press, in an inaugural
article in August, pointed out that
the Mizpah project was "bramble
PATCH" but it was being advertised
as a dream land" to potential
colored buyers.
It was learned through the New
Jersey Real Estate Board that Miz-
pah was virtually a wooded area
with little of its site cleared and
occupied.
The Call and Post made a survey
of the extent of buyers and dis
covered that one woman had in
vested over $500 on two small lots
that today are worth only $50.
Despite wholesale exploitation,
the project has the support of the
National Baptist Convention, the
Sunday School Congress, and the
Elks. So far, none Of these organ
izations has taken any action to
withdraw support of Mizpah.

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 31.-Appl-
cation of Nathan Rathblott and
Sons Company, of Philadelphia, to
sell to colored persons in Ohio real
estate lots of % by 100 feet in
Mizpah, New Jersey, was denied
last week by the Securities Divi-

that sale of the lots was being Of
fered upon grossly unfair" terms.
This action followed the combin-
ed expose of the Cleveland Press,
Ohio's largest daily newspaper, and

Lloyd Shanks
Seriously Ill

Lloyd Shanks, 3725 Fourth Ave.
S., Minneapolis, suffered a nervous
breakdown Saturday morning, Oct.
81, and was removed to Minneapolis
General Hospital for observation.
Shanks was found bloody and
disheveled in the backyard of his
home early Saturday morning. A
physician was called and he was
removed to the hospital.
The man, who is a machinist by
trade, had been acting strangely
for several days. Formerly a ro-
bust figure, he had lost consider
able weight.
Late Friday night he came to
the front door of the home of a
Southside business man and de-
manded entrance. The business
man finally opened the door and
Shanks crawled in on his hands and
knees. The man said it was ap-
parent that Shanks was i'll. Outside
waiting for him was a cab driver
who said the man owed him $22.
The business man talked with
Shanks for awhile and then gave
him $25 to pay the cab fare. Moth
ing is known of what happened to
the man until the next morning
when he was found.
Hospital attaches reported We'd
nesday that Shank's condition was
fair and that he was getting along
nicely"
Shanks is married and is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Shanks of
Minneapolis.

Murtin Brown
Pays Fine for
Come Violation

Martin Brown, 3940 Third Ave.
s., popular well known Twin Citian,
is $25 poorer today.
Martin and a group of Mime
apolis hunters were stopped by a
state game warden near Benson,
Minnesota, last weekend.
Among the bag of game was
found a hen pheasant. Martin told
the game warden it was his.
The Judge gave Martin Brown
a $25 fine. The moral is, if there is
one, mo matter who you are the
state game wardens will get you
if you don't hunt right"

ored patients and professional per-
sonnet in Veterans Administration
facilities.
Gen. Hawley told the delegation
he was sympathetic with their point
of view and would study the mat
ter.
AS to indignation of patients, he
said, except in a very small part
of the country, there will be no
question.
From the point of view of the
delegation, he said, it was perhaps
irritating that Federal agencies
should follow a trend rather than
create a trend but the Veterans
Administration is dealing with the
care of the sick and not in initial
ing social changes. He assured the
delegation, however, there will be
no backward steps.
81 am going to study personally
the places where there has been in
tegration and if find it is operat-
ing, am personally willing to give
it trial"
Gen. Hawley said he did not think
the Veterans Administration could
attempt anything sweeping. He
added that he thought it would be
more difficult to integrate physi-
clans than nurses.
DIR. W. Montague Cobb, profess
sor of anatomy in the Howard Med
ical School, disagreed with Gen.
Hawley. Experience is" said DR..
Cobb, "that if qualification is pres
ent at the beginning and the adj
ministrative officer makes no par
ticular inquiry to determine whether
it will be agreeable with other per-
sonnet, absolutely nothing happens.
He cited experiences at Western
Reserve University in Cleveland
and Washington University in st.
Louis.
DIR. Emory I. Robinson, of Los
Angeles, president of the National
Medical Association, made the
opening statement at the confer
ence. He told Gen. Hawley that
the colored medical profession ia

tents and colored professional per-

Speaking before a joint session
of the Senate and House, the Presi-
dent said this country must have
trained manpower and that it can
not relax on the theory that the
atomic bomb and other new weapons
have lessened the need of mill
tary establishment.
"The speech Of President Tru-
man." said Mr.. Dawson, twas one
of the most sincere and fortnight
speeches I have ever listened to.
"His plea for universal military
training at this time cannot help
but appeal to every peace-loying,
fair-minded, patriotic American,
who faces the matter in the light
of existing actualities.
Universal military training
under Federal jurisdiction viii mark
the beginning of the end Of all
forms of segregation and discrim-
ination within the military forces
and will bring into sharp focus the
educational differences existing in
various sections of the nation.
'Its enactment will bring to this
country the wholesome civic condi-
ton that has existed in Sweden
throughout the many years"
Powell Attacks Truman
Mr.. Powell said he is unalterably
opposed to universal military train
ing and that he thought President
Truman ''has missed the boat
again." adding:
"He should have come out in his
message for a non-discriminatory
compulsory military training pro-
gram and that might have changed
the opinions of people.
"If compulsory military training
is passed, as he outlined, without
doing away with discrimination, it
means that democracy has gone
permanently, at least in our life
time.
at will establish the pattern of
Jim Crow in each of the forty-eight
states, regardless of widespread
segregation or not.
eve were told during wartime
that we could not do away with
Jim Crow in the armed forces be-
cause of the war emergency.
Nevertheless, under Roosevelt, as
indicated by him in his letter to
Walter White, we took steps toward
a non-Jim Crow Navy and Army.
"Mr. Truman needs to tell the
American people Immediately that
compulsory military training shall
not be discriminatory. If not, he
has taken another step backward
from the Roosevelt ideals which he
swore he would uphold"
