Philander Student
In Signal Honor

Clifford Davis, member of the
Spring graduating class, was the
unanimous choice of the students
and faculty to represent Philand-
er Smith College at the Confer
ence of Southern students held at
the University of North Carolina
last Sunday. The purpose of this
Conference was to consider the
pressing necessity Of achieving a
world organization for Peace and
to elect two students to the World
Peace Conference in San Francis
co. This Movement resulted from a
challenge by Senator Fulbright of
Arkansas while delivering the
Wiel lectures at the University
of North Carolina. Fifty southern
colleges and universities were i'm
vited to participate, one of which,
was Philander Smith. This Move
ment is Of great significance not
alone because of its ultimate pur-
pose, but also because Of its in
disation of a desire to intelligent
~ face the problem of i~nterrac-
ial cooperation in a common world.

ON THE SCHEDJJE oE NV

tHlnhHlS TINS oNSi, aia WV" pass
on to the squabble--
SHOULD NEGROES JOIN THE
PINE BLUFF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE?
The discussion of this subject
will serve two purposes ~ it
will make Negro members mad,
and (2) il will help further the
white mans scheme - divide and
rule - as the Negroes will be
fussing for some time - at end
with one another.
The thinking Negro desires that
Negroes be integrated into the
business. political, and social life
Of the community. But I wonder
whether we make way for the &C
complishmcnt Of such q goal when
we become blind to actual facts.
The Chember Of Commerce Is pri-
marily concerned with the prob
lens Of white people. There has
been no announcement Of any
program which tends to accept
Negro support with the degree
Of fairness which ought obtain in
a democratic organization. The
Chamber Of Commerce needs
money and memberships bring
money. So. | take it until shown
otherwise that the organization ID
making a bid for money. / ques-
ton whether or not the leaders
Of the organization are really
anxious to have the support of Ne
grocs TO rail- that it should neal
to the development of the organi-
cation in its drive to help improve
the civic, and industrial better
ment of the citizens Of this COM
m.unity.
| know that the organizations
Of white men are all agreed upon
one thing Keeping the Negro
In his place - o place that is
definted by the thinking of the
white men. So, to give a $500
membership to the Chamber of
Commerce knowing that there is
no real interest in the complete
and full indignation of Negroes
into the economic and political
lite of this community is some
thing like the eagle which drop
ped the feather and the farmer
turned 1t into a weapon for the
destruction Of the eagle.
UNITY is needed among Ne
groes, tnd we are sure that the
men whose names are included on
the membership rolls of the Cham
Der Of Commerce ought to be
found on the rolls Of the local
Negro Business League, if for
nothing more than to atone for
a gross racial error. Ercept for
Mr. Moore, the names Of David
Davis, p. X. Miller, and Marion
Perry n not on the list in the
aillng local Negro Business League.
Their support is needed, and we
trust thtt we shall have it. This

Policeman Carter became suspi-
cious when he saw the man going

a secondhand shop in that block,

asked the man for Identification,
the latter attacked the policeman,
took his nightstick and fed.
The man then ran into a house in
the 1900 block Of Eighth street NV,
police said. He was cornered there
by the policeman, who again tried
to make the arrest. A fight fol-
lowed during which the policeman,
according to police; fired some shots
at close quarters.
Policemen Carter and Luther Mill
er, colored, of the 1900 block of On
tario road NV. who helped Police
man Carter, turned in their guns to
the second precinct, where a hear
ing is schreduled for today. An in

0PA Acts 10 Curb Use
Of Stolen Gas Coupons

BY the Associated Press.
Filling stations which use stolen
coupons to purchase gasoline will be
penalized after Wednesday by loss
of an equivalent supply of gasoline
The Office Of Price Administra-
ton said the new rule-similar to
the debit system" already in effect
for counterfeit, outdated and un-
indorsed coupons-would cover only
coupons taken from OPA offices and
printing plants or otherwise stolen
before they are issued to ration
holders.
The new penalty is made possible
by the printing of serial numbers
on all gasoline coupons. If a theft
occurs the serial numbers are re-
ported to OPA regional Offices where
spent ration currency is checked
and sorted.

shutdown of such. private as we'll
as public places at the curfew hour,
so far as civilians are concerned.
Entertainment for military per.
sonnel may be continued beyond
midnight, but it must be sponsored
by responsible agencies" such as
the USO, and be on nonprof1t
basis.
The only other easing Of the or
der issued by War Mobilization Di-
rector Byrnes, allowing restaurants
customarily open all night for serv-
ing food to continue on that basis,
was that any Of these places which
serve liquor or beer as sideline
must call halt to that part Of
their business at midnight.
Ban Made Alright.
Having listed these two excep-
tions, the VINO order added
bluntly:
mo exemptions of any other char
acter may be made"
That extinguished the hopes Of
some night spot proprietors that the
scope of the ban might be narrowed,
or that the curfew hour might be
set at am. instead of midnight.
In fact, WING went to further
lengths to make the ban airtighS
by listing specifically places referred
to broadly by Mr.. Byrnes as other
similar establishments" These in-
cluded shooting galleries, bowling.
billiard and pool establishments,
amusement parks. carnivals, cir
cuses, coin-operated amusement de-
vice parlors, ice skating and roller
skating rinks, entertainment ac-
tivity of yacht, country and other
clubs, dance schools and studios and
gambling establishments.
Local Aid Asked.
Mr.. Byrnes' list had covered by
name only night clubs, sports arenas,
theaters, dance halls, road houses,
saloons and bars.
VINO given administration and
enforcement of the curfew by Mr..
Byrnes, instructed its 80 area di-
rectors to seek. the help Of local.
county and State police in checking
on compliance. These officers will
handle all complaints from indi-
vidualS.
In cases of willful violation, VINO
will impose zero" employment cell
ings calling for the layoff of all but
maintenance workers. Where this
order is not observed other Gov
ernment agencies may withdraw
power and fuel, rationed COM
modities and delivery service.
