Recreaiional
Needs Discussed
By Judge Newton

Unmet recreational needs O
the Negro community were pre-
sented in a lecture by Judge
c. P. Newton, Chairman of the
Community Council of Greater
Little Rock, and discussed by
white and colored persons pre-
sent, at an open forum in the
auditorium of Arkansas Baptist
College, Friday evening.
Judge Newton discussed the
Gillian Granite Mountain) Park
Site, emphasized a site said to
belong to the city and to be
available for development situat-
ed near the County Hospital.
Other persons present raised the
questions of the effect of the
proximity of the hospital and
of a proposed lake said to be
under consideration for construc-
ton in that vicinity.
DR.. w. Marcus Taylor sug-
gested the Philander Smith
College site, is acres of which
were formerly offered as a gift
to the city. 1t appears that the
entire site is now available for
S45,000. DR.. Taylor asked rs
the city willing to spend any
money for us?" He felt that
the Hospital location was rela-
lively small, less accessible, and
would give less satisfaction as
the years passed. In this case,
he felt that an investment of
$45,000 would be a ''long range
benefit through the generations"
Whatever we get now will be
for tomorrow, so we might as
we'll get something right" Why
not give the Negro something
good, since he has nothing at
all at present" Attorney Book
re also emphasized the value
of the P. S. c. site.
Reverend l.. M. Bickford, di-
rector of publicity for the In
ter-racial Commission suggested
that instead of putting a whole
lot of money in one location
which would be so far out it
wouldn't be able to accommo-
date people all over the city,
smaller parks and Fairgrounds
should be located all over the
city in Negro neighborhoods.
Reverend Bickford's suggestion
was in line with suggestions
made in the Little Rock survey
of social agencies sponsored by
the Community Chest and Coun-
Gil and previously quoted by
this paper,
Professor r. G. Childress, AS
sistant to the Supervisor of Ne
gro Schools of this state, en-
phasized that there were no ia
cilities for recreation for col
ored children in his neighbor-
hood.

Kennedy Reiterafes
Defense on Filing
Surrender Story

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE New
York Times, in a Paris dispatch to-
day by Gladwin Hill, quoted Edward
Kennedy, Associated Press corre-
spondent, as saying he considered
that in informing supreme Allied
headquarters of his intention to
file the Reims surrender story. st
had fulfilled all the obligations I
had"
Mr.. Hill, in an interview with Mr..
Kennedy on the latter's filing of the
surrender story day before its an
nouf1cement by the Allied govern
ments, quoted the correspondent as
saying he did not feel impelled to
notify other correspondents that he
was breaking the SHAEF release
time, any more than I would tell
them about any other story I in
tended to file"
THE papers have referred to this
as SCOOP" Mr.. Kennedy was
quoted. "As a matter of fact,
wasn't after any scoop. was simply
out to cover the news and report it
within the limits of security. was
told by the SHAEF officials that
this was not question of security
and so I sent the story"
Mr.. Hill wrote that he asked Mr.
Kennedy If he did not consider that
the trip to Reims was not an ordi-
nary competitive reporting Job, since
only II out of 100 correspondents
had been allowed to 60, and he
quoted this reply:
II didn't have anything to do
with the way the thing was organ
lied. Gen. Allen simply called us
up and said that there was this
story and did we want to send a
man, and I said, Yes, I would 20
myself. I didn't try to prevent any
body else from going-if they didn't
go 1t wasn't my fault. 1t was all up
to SHAEF public relations"
Mr.. Hill said he asked Mr.. Ken
nedy what he considered should be
the code of ethics among CORE
spondents in the future when the
Army, on limited facility trips, took
only a representative group of cor
respondents, and, as is customary.
set an advanced release time for
everybody. He said Mr.. Kennedy
replied that he was against all
artificial (nonsecurity) embargoes."

TO Ayenge Germany
Is Japs' Latest War
Aim, Radio States
By the Associated Press,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-"To
avenge fallen Germany and to
smash the enemy" is the true
picture Of the Japanese spirit to-
day, the Tokyo radio says.
Paying tribute to the late Axis
partner, Tokyo added in a broadcast
today, "the fight put up by the
German people in defending their
fatherland and, moreover, Fuehrer
Hitler's fighting to his death, have
left deep impression in the minds
OF the japanese people.
Our feeling of sympathy and
admiration toward the Germans is
far stronger than that of contempt
or Scorn and the determined feel
ing of now we are alone arises in
the mind of each and every
Japanese"
Acknowledging that peace in
Europe has made 'our future ire
mendously difficult" the Tokyo
radio declared that When it comes
to fighting alone the japanese are
able to manifest tenfold strength"
The broadcast recorded by the
Federal Communications Commits
sion admitted that Japan started
the war on her own accord for her
own reasons" and not with the Idea
that Germany would take sides
with u.s."
Observing that some japanese
statesmen had called Germany I'm
faithful for negotiating a separate
surrender in violation of the tri-
partite pact" the broadcast said
this is not the feeling of the
Japanese people"
Motoki Yamazaki, newly appoint
ed president OF the South Man
churia Railway Co., asserted that
greater efforts would be made to
establish self -sufficiency' in Man
churia and to boost the production
of all products that have a direct
bearing on Japan's fighting strength.
Apparently fearful of the effects
of American propaganda, the Tokyo
radio cautioned the Japanese peo-
pie that as long as We maintain
our correct composure we have no
cause to be frightened"
The enemy radio warned that Al
Lied psychological, warfare had been
used successfully against Italy and
even more successfully against Ger
many"
1t is "an absolute certainty" the
broadcast said, that America will
launch an even more persistent
campaign of propaganda warfare,
now that the European war is ended

ARMY IN PROFESSIONALLY,
May 11.-Konrad Henlein, who
before the war delivered the SUI
detenland to Hitler, died yester-
day q suicide In q war prison
camp.
1t was reported In an American
corps headquarters that Henlein
slashed his wrists with-a razor blade
concealed under adhesive tape In q
cigarette case. y
BY taking his own life, Henlein
escaped execution by the Czecho-
slovak government. He had been
sentenced to death in absentia by
Czechosloyak court in 1898.
Allied military authorities said
Henlein gave Hitler an indirect
service which enabled the German
Army to turn and break the French
Magipot Line speedily. The Maginot
Line was built along specifications
used in the Czechoslovak fortifica-
tons in the Sudeten Mountains.
After annexation of the Sudeten-
land, German artillerymen and ex-
perts in specialized weapons prac-
ticed many months developing q
casement-smashing technique.

The plump, 47-year-old Henlein,
former gymnastics teacher, sur
rendered himself and his secretary
Wednesday after calling of party
plans for a last-ditch defense in the
wooded hills and grandiose scheme
for organizing and financing under
ground Werewolf organizations.
Henlein was reluctant to discuss
his activities as the party's No. l
man here. and blamed excuses on
the SS-an organization which he
insisted was completely divorced
from his own.
Henlein told American correspon-
dents he was constantly at cross
purposes with Heinrich Himmler,
head OF the SIS and the Gestapo.
Carried Death Tablets.
At the time of his surrender
Henlein had hidden in his belt a
small bottle of tablets marked with
a skull and crossbones. He indi-
Gated they were for consumption if
he had been captured by Czech
Patriot forces.
He lodged answering embarrass-
Ing questions on his conduct of Nazi
affairs in Czechoslovakia and re-
peatedly observed-as have most
captured NaZi officials-that he was
only little man" bound to carry
out his orders without question.
i've always been a man of high
honor he said.
Henlein, after the Munich settle
ment through which Hitler won con-
troll Of 100000 Sudetens. exercised
wide authority under the Nazis In
Czechoslovakia.
AS soon as the German Army
had moved in, Hitler named Hen
lein statthalter. or governor, and
