GARY ind. STUDENTS STAGE HATE STRIKE
TOBACCO ROAD RETURNS
TO MEMORIAL HALL STAGE

Portrayed by the venerable stage
actor John Barton, 'Ol' Man Jeeter"
is back again - or will be next
Thursday night, Sept. 27, when that
rip-roaring comedy Tobacco Road"
opens a three-day engagement at
Memorial Hall.
Tobacco Road" the most dis
cussed play ever produced on the
American stage, returns once more
to Dayton's Memorial Hall for three
evening performances and a Satur-
day afternoon matinee, starting
Thursday evening, Sept. 27.
Tobacco Road" ran for eight
years on Broadway with 3,180 con-
secutive performances. Based on
the novel by Erskine Caldwell, the
show deals with 48 hours in the
lives and the loves of a group of il
literate Georgia sharecroppers vain
ly trying to exc out an existence on
scraggy strip of land so arid that
even ''pesky weeds" would not come
through.
Living in squalor and misery, ig-
norant of everything except sex and
an illiterate concept of religion, the
Jeeter Testers have one redeeming
quality, a love for their land to
which they cling with almost fanat-
ical devotion.
Jeeter Lester, the middle-aged,
boastful and philosophic farmer who
is the central character of the play,
is again portrayed by John Barton
who is considered one of the classic
figures of the American theater.
Although primarily a serious
study of impoverished sharecrop-
pers, the play is filled with humor-
Gus episodes.
Every state in the Union has it's
quota of privileged people,
it's own Tobacco Road" Southern
sharecroppers were used as illus
tration because Erskine Caldwell
grew up among them, his father be-
ing a minister at Wrens, Georgia,
for many years.
Tobacco Road" is presented in
Dayton under the auspices of Town
Hall presentations with headquar-
ters in the Biltmore Hotel where
seats may be reserved.

WHEN SUPERINTENDENT
Refuses TO oU5I. NEGROES
FROM HIGH SCHOOL


For the second time in a score of
years, hate strike is being staged
by white students in this steel mill
city on the edge of Chicago to stop
mixed attendance in local high
schools. Approximately 1000 white
students from Froebel high, which
was mixed student body, and
from Tolletson and Horace Mann
Highs, the latter all-white, are TAX
| ing part in the anti-Negro demon
stration which has strong backing
from parents, many of whom par
| ticipated in the similar strike of
nearly 20 years ago. 1t is also be-
lieved that some organization SIM
liar to the Ku Klux Klan may be
involved.
The situation has become so
tense and serious that a meeting
was scheduled between a committee
representing striking students and
parents and the board of education.
The demand has been made on the
board that either the $50 Negroes
be removed from Froebel or the
1,600 whites there be transferred to
other schools.
Charles d. Lutz, school superin-
tendent, and Richard Nuzum, Fro
bel principal, have refused to ac-
cede to these demands. Lutz would
not meet with a committee from
the strikers and issued statement
saying, Gary schools will be open
to all students wishing to attend
them"
This committee was appointed at
a mass meeting Of pupils and par
ents the day after the demonstra-
ton began. At this meeting, some
parents asked the students to re-
turn to their classes but the major
ity urged them to remain away un-
til some action is taken by the
board. The students then appointed
delegations to visit lily-white
schools and enlist pupils in SYM
pathy strike.
The anti-Negro action was an
outgrowth of fight between a col
ored and a white student at the
Forebel-Horace Mann football
game week ago Saturday night.
Strikers, however, declare their
fight is mot with the Negroes but
with the school board, which has
promised us additional school facil-
ities." They declare they want "a
new school set up in the area which
is predominately Negro to take care
of those from Froebel and the over
flow from Roosevelt High" Roose-
velt is the all-Negro high school
here.

August. Although referrals have de- clined somewhat during the final quarter of l944 the ll-month total is an all-time high---cver l75 million.
 The United States Employment Service placement record of World War II handicapped veterans for the month of August 1924 totaled l1,l69; for September 1O,892; and for Oc- toher l0,529.
 Veteran placements, increasing steadily throughout 1944, far sur pass the record levels of l943, and continue to rise at somewhat fast CT rate than other agricultural placements. Service to World War II veterans represents an increasing proportion of all veteran activities.
 Placements of veterans by the USES rose steadily from 491o0 in January l944 to a high of s3.600 in August. Following a seasonal de- cline in September, placements fluc- tuated about 80,000 and attained a level of S2,600 in November. Place ments of handicapped veterans were II 400 in November, a decline from the high point of l2,850 in August.
 World War II veterans account for the great bulk of all veteran place. ments, comprising 75 per cent of the total in November Both the num- ter and proportion of such veteran placements have been rising steadily since the beginning of the year, when veterans of the current war constituted 69 per cent nf the total.
 Veteran placements have been ris- ing at a somewhat faster rate than total agricultural placements during l944, but still account for only a minor proportion of USES place ment activities. Only per cent of tctal placements were accounted for by veterans in February; by Novem- Der the proportion had risen but slightly, to "A per cent.
 Veterans have been referred to jobs in ever er-increasing numbers since the beginning of the year. To- cal non agricultural refelrals num-

 More and more veterans are visit ing local offices in search of jobs or other assistance. During August the number of visits totalled 2l3,000 and rose to 279.200 in November. World War II veterans accounted for most of these visits--226.000 or about 8l per cent
 In addition to the regular refer ral and placement services of the USES, nearly 10000 veteran place ment assists were made during the month, while approximately 28,800 referralS of veterans to other agen- cies, such as Selective Service. Vet- erans Administration and State Vo- cational Rehabilitation, were made.
 Job applications have shown ris- ing trend since the beginning of the year. From 68,20O in February the number has risen to high of 95,800 in November. The proportion of complete registrations to all applica- tions has fluctuated between 54 and 70. per cent except for the record high of 81 per cent reached in June.
 Nearly 9,20O applications were talk en in November by USES interview CTS in Army and Navy hospitals from Servicemen about to be dis charged. During the month some 9700 discharges made initial visits to local offices and $500 placements in local on-agricultural jobs were made.

x-RAY PROGRAM E DECU55ED AT
 ATA MEETING (


 Matters of importance were dis cussed at recent meeting of the board of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association held at association head- quarters in the Valentine Building.
 Dr. George Hays, Senior Surgeon (R), with the Territorial Health De- partment, and visitor at the meet ing, told of the progress of the x-ray program for high school students, for which the association has do- mated funds. He stated that the pro- gram had been completed in Ketchi- kan and would soon be underway in the remaining larger cities and that in outlying towns, the department planned to contact physicians and carry out the work with their assist ance.
 Consideration was given the funds that had been donated the health department by the association in years prior to 1943 the same having been given to pay for the services of an x-ray clinician. Because of the fact that in some years it had been impossible to find a clinician, these funds had remained dormant and the sum of $3,205.55 has ac- cumulated. Dr. Hays felt that a real need for this money had arisen and asked permission of the board to use the fund for other purposes.
 Accordingly the board voted the following expenditures: first, small amount not to exceed $50 was all loted, for the training of a bac- teriologist in x-ray technique, this

the forming of the club, we find Gen.
Spinner, Col. Frank Jones, Henry D..
Cook tflrst Governor of the DISTRICT
and John M. Carson frequently coming
in close contact at Reynolds boat
house, just above the Aqueduct Bridge
on the Maryland side, and it was dur
ing this time that Mr.. Carson ex-
pressed himself in favor of forming a
club, with the result that subsequently
the Analostan Club was formed, as
stated, with Mr. Patten as president and
with later members including Tim Til
ley, Harry Richardson, Sam Lewis and
Billy Blanchard.
An accent printed in The Star more
than half century ago says that the
year following the organization of the
Analostans, two other boat clubs were
formed, namely the Anacostia, repre-
senting East Washington, and the Po-
tomacs representing Georgetown. and
it is said that between these two clubs
the first boat race on the Potomac was
held over a 1a-mile course, the Po-
tomacs winning the race.
AS the writer has said upon former
occasion, there is some confusion as
to the date of the forming of the
Potomac club, since the city directories
down to 1885 give the date as 1868, and
from that date on as 1869, and then an

organized soon after the Falcon came
into existence, but of it little is known.
1t was composed of Samuel Lewis.
jeweler;; John Reese, William Sloan,
Charles Husleman, william Birch, John
Williams, William Lloyd and Robert
Ball. Their craft was a six-oared
racing boat, built in Philadelphia, and
their boathouse was where would now be
the south side of Constitution avenue
a little east of Twelfth street.
The Undine Boat Club
Next came the Undine Boat Club,
established here in 1857 with "a mem
bers-younger men, we are told, than
those forming the Falcon club, and
nearly all very athletic and heavy
weights. Alexander r. Shepherd, who
later became Governor of the District
of Columbia, was one of the most ac-
tive in originating this club, and ex-
pressed himself as being desirous of
getting together crew with plenty
of beef in the boat"
soon the required NUMBER OF men
were gotten together and the club
formed with the following list of Of

marchers broke ranks and rushed the
place without provocation.
II mixed with those fellows after
trying to find out how it did happen"
said Mr.. Schwellenbach. But they
wouldn't talk about it."
At any rate four Legion members
were killed by the Wobblies, who were
armed not only with pistols but with
rifles. A little later mob broke into
the Jail and lynched one of the Wob-
blies.
The Centralia Incident
The IWW, a revolutionary labor Or
ganization on the way out, had its post
war strength among the hitherto un-
organized lumberjacks and migratory
workers of the West. The incident re-
newed the war on the labor front along
the Pacific Coast. There had been no
peace-only an armistice-since bomb
blamed on Tom Mooney and Warren K.
Billings had killed 10 and injured 40 in
the 1915 San Francisco preparedness
parade. The day after the Centralia
killings the Legion and the National
Guard modified at Spokane to resist
invasion. Legion activities in breaking
up radical meetings and dispensing
strike picket lines increased all over
the country.
Il became department commander of
the Legion in the State of Washington
in August, 1922 said Mr. Schwellen-
bach. "One of the first things did
was to arrange a Legion Chamber of
Commerce meeting in Centralia so that
I could give them little talk
II can't remember exactly what I said
but I told them that there was no diff
ference between them and members of
labor unions and should be no conflict;

have to make peace.
