Chicago Students Strike

CHICAGO (NNPA)-The num-
ber of absentees among white
students of Englewood High school
protesting against the attendance
of Negro students had risen last
Friday to $50, Joseph C. Thompson,
the principal, said.
Mr.. Thompson issued the figures
after Police Commissioner James
P. Altman had reported that the 200
white students who left their classes
last Thursday were back in school.
Mr.. Altman and Mayor Edward
J. Kelly called the walkout "just
q prank"
Thompson said he believed the
walkOut was a movement which
spread from two high schools
in Gary, Indiana, where white
students were protesting in
creased enrolment of Negro
students.
Two police squads were called
to try to persuade the first strikers
to return to their classes but in
stead, Mr.. Thompson stated, they
were Joined by others and went to
nearby ice cream parlors, drug
stores and their homes. He added
that the strikers did not attempt

There must be a systematic at

frontal assault on elected officials
who are concentrated in WASH
ingtOn. There must be a COM
pIete and organized attack on
every phase Of the jim-crOw,
segregation, and discrimination
pattern that prevails in Wash

be allowed to interfere until the

eve weren't supposed to be
combat unit" Washer said, "but
when the Japs started breaking
through, they didn't care who was
combat and who wasn't"
It was the 93rd Negro infantry
division, a correspondent for the
armed forces radio gave credit for
capturing the Jap Hospital" ship
in harbor that turned out to be
carrying combat soldiers, accord
ing to Washer. In the press re-
leases in this country, the 93rd
wasn't mentioned, but when the
ship docked in Morotai harbor, it
was the 93rd that took it over and
assumed responsibility of getting
the Japs to the stockade.
\ Washer had an unusual experience
as the Jap soldiers were coming off
the ship. A camera enthusiast, he
had small photo laboratory, and
business. He had his kodak ready
as the Japs came down the gang
plank. Seeing one of their officers,
he remarked, 'I'm going to take
this nuts picture"
The Jap officer bowed, and replied
in perfect English: Anything to
make you happy, soldier"
A Surprised Soldier
Washer was taken so completely
by surprise, his hand was doing
a double shimmy when he snapped
the shutter.
While in the islands he saw Sgt.
Cleveland Ray of st. Paul, who
has recently been promoted to
Master Sergeant; Cpl. Bernard
Lewis of Minneapolis, and M/Sgt.
Lee Harris of st. Paul. All are
well, doing fine, and sent best re-
CARDS to their families.
It's good to be back in civilian
life, but like a lot of veterans,
Washer finds "there is something
missing" Something falls fiat, he
says. 81 suppose I'll get used to
it," he stated, and then made the
unusual observation that if a
soldier changes, it isn't the war
that does it but the people back
home.
Forgetting to write your SER
viceman, or neglecting the little
things that mean so much to him,
can change a man when he's over
seas. You'll never know the ex-
preston on a fellows face when
he walks up to a big mailbag and
hears names being called one after
the other, but his isn't among them,
He goes to his tent and everyone is
reading mail except him; all that
he has is an old newspaper. A
man overseas doesn't just read
mail; he lives it."
Washer said that when one CT.
receives a letter that his wife has
gone wrong, it affects the whole
company.
All of that is over now, and he
wants to start out all over again,
just as soon as he can find out what
it is that's missing" in this civilian

Miss Scott's appearance in Consti-
tuition Hall for October 20 over the
telephone ?" he was asked.
81 don't make verbal agree
ments," answered Hand. "When-
ever agree to a date by written
contract fulfill it,"
Charles H. Houston, prominent
attorney, who assumed leadership
of the fight over exclusion of Marian
Anderson from Constitution Hall in
1889, expressed an informal opin-
ion Monday that the exclusion Of
colored persons from the stage OF
Constitution Hall raises consti-
tutional question.
Pointing out that the building is
tax-exempt, he said he was unable
to see how the OARS can exclude
a part of the public from use of
the building on the grounds of race
while enjoying tax-exemptiOn be-
cause such discrimination is forbid
den by the Constitution.
The management of Constitution
Hall refused to permit Miss Ander-
son to appear in a concert there in
1889 under the auspices of Howard
University.
AS a result of the exclusion of
Miss Anderson from Constitution
Hall, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife
of the late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Mrs. Clifford PinchOt and
other nationally prominent women
withdrew their membership from
the OAR.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Secretary of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes ar
ranged for Miss Anderson to sing
in front of the Lincoln Memorial
on Easter Sunday of 1889. A crowd
estimated at $4,000 heard her after
Mr.. Ickes had paid her a glowing
tribute and denounced race discrim-
ination.

delphia Academy of Music last Fri.

Powell also sent similar tele-
grams to Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner and James M. Mead, Democrats,
of New York.
Mr.. Powell disclosed last Sunday
that his wife had been barred from
appearing in Constitution Hall,
which the OARS own, because of
her race. 1t is against the policy
of the National Board of Manage
ment of the OARS to rent the hall
for appearances by Negro artists.
Asked for Date
Miss Scott's agent, Charles P.
McClane, in Philadelphia last Sun
day, said that he had telephoned
Fred Hand, manager of Constitu-
tion Hall, last week for a concert
date on October 20 for Miss Scott.
Hand told me-" said McClane,
"that October 20 was an open date
at Constitution Hall and that he'd
forward me a contract to sign"
The contract never arrived, ac-
cording to McClane. Instead, Hand
telephoned him the next day and
asked if Miss Scott was Negro.
II told him she was," said Nc
Clane. "Then Hand told me he'd
be unable to give her the hail."
"He seemed most apologetic, 60
ing so far as to offer his assistance
in securing another suitable hall for
me. He said he'd been of such as
sistance to Paul Robson, but was
insistent that Constitution Hall was
definitely out"
Hand denied that a contract had
ever been made for the rental of
the hall to Miss Scott. He was
quite evasive in his answers to
questions relative to his telephone
conversations with McClane.
what is the policy in regard tO
rental of Constitution Hall to col.
Ored persOns?" he was asked.
THE policy is laid down by the
National Board of Management OF
Constitution Hall, a committee Of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution" Hand replied.
Asked what the policy was, he
answered: 81 can't say"

said he made ARRANGEMENTS fol

Unruly elements of adult

John E. Wade, superintendent Of
schools, charged that their elders
had encouraged grammar school
children, as well as high scool
pupils, to use the coaches pay con-
troversy as a pretext for the
demonstration.
LOng-smOldering strife between
white and Negro students of the
Benjamin Franklin High school,
and the James Otis Junior High
school was believed to have been
the real cause of the fighting.
The two schools are housed in
a twO-blOck long structure on
Pleasant Avenue between Hath
and 10th Streets, near the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive.
The fighting was not broken up
until the Negro students were put
aboard six buses diverted from
their regular runs, by high police
officials to take the pupils out of
the area.
Searching for the cause of the
fiare-up, the police decided that
some parents felt both schools
should be limited to either white
or Negro students.
The police found other causes of
the fight in reports that there had
been a dispute over a basketball
game between a Negro and white
team on Thursday afternoon, in
friction over dominance of the
schools activities among the stu
dents, and in rumors which had a
Negro teacher striking a white
pupil.
