Thesaurus Editors
To Clean Out Terms
Insulting to Race

New York-In reply to a letter
from the NAACP protesting the
treatment given the words "Negro"
and "Jew" in a reference book it
publishes, the World Publishing
Company this week promised to
"clean up" the volume in question,
pledging that they were "deter-
mined not to be a party to the
spread of prejudice and racist doc
trine by means Of the printed word"
The letter was signed by j. Il.
Friend, editor.
The book in question was the 1871
edition of Roget's Thesaurus, a
volume Of synonyms and antonyms.
The NAACP took action when it
was observed that ''Negro" is re-
ferred to under two headings,
"Blackness" and Servant" Under
"Blackness" are listed as synony-
nous terms for Negro "blackamoor,
niger, darby, sloe." Under "Ser-
want" are listed "lackey, slave,
stooge, puppet." For "Jew" are
such supposedly synonymic words
as "extortioner, hereto, churl,
harry, skinfint, bigot."
= In it's letter the NAACP stated
in part that the Thesaurus authors
displayed a "vicious, deliberate in
tent to deal injury to a people by
defamation" and that, further, the
practice constituted "a peril indeed
to its perpetrators confronted as
they are with worldwide. impa-
thence with arrogant white suprem-
acy."
The World Publishing Company
letter, in addition to the excerpt
already quoted, stated that it was
in complete agreement about the
"deplorable character" Of the pas
sages objected to, and would make
every effort to check the entire book
for further offensive matter"

TENNESSEE SAFE!
Memphis Bans
. Movie, Rochester
Too Familiar

Memphis-The sight of Eddie
Rochester" Anderson frolicking
through the movie, "Brewster's
Millions" treating white folks as
if they were his equal proved too
much for "Boss" Ed Crump's re-
gime this week.
They decided that such "famil-
iarity between the races" might put
ideas into the heads of the Negroes
in Memphis-and besides, white
supremacy" must be upheld at all
costs.
"Boss" Crump forgot that only a
year ago, Rochester flew here from
Hollywood to help Memphis put
over the 9Th War Loan Drive. It
meant nothing to his henchmen that
recently, with Jack Benny, Roch-
ester inaugurated the present War
Loan Drive in Washington.
So the only people in Memphis
who have seen, or will see BREW
ster's Millions" are "Boss" Crump's
hand-picked censors, the staunch
defenders of Dixie's lily-white ode
mocracy."
They banned the showing Of the
picture after viewing, to their hor-
ror, the sight Of a Negro mixing
socially with whites. Lloyd T. Bin
ford, chairman of the puppet censor
board, declared:
''The Negro, Rochester, has an
important role in the movie and he
has too familiar a way about him.
The picture presents too much So
cial equality, and racial mixture.
We do not have any trouble with
racial problems down here, and we
do not intend to encourage any by
showing movies like this"

Petition to Unseat
Poll Takers Filed
ByRefOrm League

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The unseating of 68 Representa-
tives in Congress has been de-
manded in a petition from the
Southern Electoral Reform League,
filed in the office of the House clerk
last week. The petition and &C
companying evidence claims the
representatives are holding their
seats illegally because a majority
of the voters in their States were
barred from voting by the poll tax.
The States involved are Alabama,
South Carolina, Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Vir-
GINA. Georgia was dropped from
the list when it repealed its poll tax
statute.
Moss A. Plunkett is president of
the League. His subpoenas to these
Congressman to testify before a
notary concerning their right to
their seats in Congress were
ignored several weeks ago on ad-
vice of Rep. Summers of the House

Praises Maigned
92nd Division

w ASa43NG4 YIN, ~ " NINGNEA "a
On the eve of Truman Gibson'I
first press conference since his re.
turn from overseas, following con
troversial reports of statements ht
made to newsmen in Rome, Italy
the War Department has put out 6
significant release on the heroisn
of the 92nd Division, through its
Bureau of Public Relations.
The release quotes General Of the
Army George C. Marshall, the first
five-star general to inspect the
92nd, as saying what he had seer
in Italy was Every reassuring." II
attributes to Major General Edward
M. Almond, Commander of the
92nd, a description of the divisions

The release gives what it calls a
Summary of 92nd's Activities in
First Six Months of Combat" In
that time, the men of the division
have won seven awards of the
Legion of Merit, IS Silver Stars,
1872 Bronze Stars, four Air Medals
and 1877 Purple Hearts, the War
Department announced. They had
received, also, 1891 Combat Infan-
trymen Badges. Altogether 1000
officers and men had received rec
ognition for their efforts in action
against the enemy. Seven men
earned commissions on the spot and
many others are being considered
Helped Pin Down Nazis
Says the release: Regarding
operations, the 92nd Division had
seen only negligible changes in its
front-line positions. One major
drive, launched in February, gained
some ground before the Germans
sacrificed much in men and mate
rial in pushing the division back
to its original starting point. Shar-
ing the assignment of pinning down
Wehrmacht divisions in Italy, the
92nd was confronted by the Hottest
peaks and mountains in the Apen-
mines.
Many Heroes
"Many heroes, whose exploits
earned the praises of high ranking
Army leaders, emerged from the
divisions first half-year of combat,
