 In the near future, the enter prising entertainment committee of the Turf Club, Inc, will inaug- urate a new series of programs for it's members for the purpose of putting the club in it's rightful place and on a par with that of the nations leading membership clubs, such as the Loredi in Pitts burgh and the Old Tymers and II Ambassador in Chicago. Your columnist had the pleasure previ- ously of being guest in the aforementioned cluos. He had a first hand opportunity to see what an important place a. club holds in any community. Requests are being sent out now for all quar- tets to register for the contest with either MT. Matt Strong or MT. Walter Beckham. The purpose is to revive interest in the old fash toned barber shop quartet method of singing. Among the old time tenors, leads, baritones and bass

WELL, WHADDYA KNOW?
By Armond s. Greene FIRE IN THE NORTH END

IKE IN HE NON Il END
 Hartford had it's fourth of July three months ahead of schedule on last Tuesday night, April 23 at 7:i55 pm. It was a 3-alarm fire. In fact, they had every fire com pany they could get on hand. It seems that there was quite bit of gas and oil feeding the fire and kept it very much alive.
 The fire was broadcast from Station WDRC's relay car which was on the scene. About 5000 peo- pie from every part of town turned out to see the fire. The grandstand seemed to be in front of Miss A. Old's Beauty parlor.
 It was one of those fires that firebugs want to see. Speaking of firetugs, that is something which Hartford doesn't have, and for which we can be very thankful. hartford con l, h tY
 We can keep them away by join ing National Fire Prevention Week in it's cleanup drive May 12-18, and in that way we can stop fires and cut them to a mini mum. What you say, fellas, let's all get behind the National Fire Prevention Week. You know we can all help to clean up vacant lots, driveways and backwards. And please do not forget the attics and cellars.

 The recent decision of the OAR to allow the Tuskegee Institute Choir the use of Constitution Hall in June, is welcomed as a step forward in race relations. How ever, this is an exception and it is to be remembered that as, yet, no announcement has been made as to change in it's policy of color discrimination.
 ***********
 Veterans in Hartford may find food news in hearing that it has been suggested that the banks, in- surance companies, and industries of the city take greater interest financially in the construction of veterans homes. Here's hoping that the reported 2,0OO applica- tions for veterans homes will soon be filled.
 ***********
 The Alpha Ri Delta sorority at the University of Vermont is to be commended on it's practice of true American principles. This so- rority has accepted Crystal Malone Negro girl of Washington, into the group. However, there seems to be dissatisfaction from the Ma tional head, for the chapter is now on probation" for failing to an- sWer letters.
 ***********
 On Hartford's Labor front, 5000 workers oi strike at the Niles Bement-Pond Co.,, a division of the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corp, appealed to the public for aid. The public was asked for financial as- sistance while the workers are fighting for an 1872 cents an hour increase in wages. The public's action on this appeal may decide whether the future will find 5000 workers and their families with the ability to maintain decent standards of lving-or otherwise.
 Hartford's North End Commun- ity is asked to go all out in eff fort to support the Cleanup Cam paign. The campaign is to help beautify the North End as we'll as to make it a healthier district and less hazardous to fires. In charge of the campaign is MT. Arthur Johnson assisted by MT. James Walker and MT. Dawson Shaw, all of whom are veterans. | They are supported by many clubs, school principals, and church pas tors of the community.
 ***********
 Rumor has it that a campaign % discredit the Negro soldier of World War II is under way, com with an article in liar ,er's magazine of April by War nan Welliver. The aim is to pie ;ure the Negro soldier as a cow ard in the eyes of the public. What was it that Hitler said about mak- ng a lie big enough and telling it often enough?

 The CIO and AF of L are now preparations to enlarge and strengthen their groups by the South. Success may depend on their ability to offer the working classes more than the existing system has done.

 While Congress plans legisla- ton for military conscription, the AAF announces that all theatres of operation are now closed to colored personnel of the Army Air Forces. Apparently there are still limits as to how we'll the Negro will be allowed to serve his coun- try.

MUCH AT STAKE!

The present is time which demands alertness and diligence on the part of all who have part in law enforcement Crime is the uptrend
 With the Grand Jury being convened today for the Criminal Court term here it is well to emphasize that grand jury action is major cog in the machinery of law and order in the community. The grand jury stands between the police and the courts; all three must do their duty the ends of justice are to be served and crime is not to flourish.
 Happily, conditions aren't so bad here as they are in many American cities. But they worsenng- and can get much worse; in hurry if there is any weakening of police effort grand juries become reniss in their responsibilities courts acquire the reputation of being soft"
 Only in a community where there is a reasonable w have to pay for their crimes-that justice will be xacting-is there likely to be respect for law and minimum of crime Whoever sackens on the job of maintaining respect for law is risking the life and property of his neighbors, of us, every
 But it is also well to point out that the grand ance of his stand between the police and the courts Just as he is sworn aid exacting reributon from vioators of the law honestly apprehended so his is major responsibility in making that the shafts of
 justice are not misdrectedthat the innocent does not suffer through any over-zealous showing of police authority directed toward establishing good record
 It is for that reason that grand juries granted powers far transcending the role of mere rubber stamp" the judgment of the prosecuting officer.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-01-22

Where grand jury feels that the showing made before in any does not present true or sufficiently complete picture the facts the jurors have the power far too seldom exercised it is true-to demand fuller showing to that grant of authority that the Compiled Laws of Alaska provide in Section 5l82:
 The grand jury are not bound to hear evidence for the defendant but it is their duty to weigh all evidence submitted to them and when they have reason to believe that other evidence within their reach will explain away the charge, they should order such evidence to be produced, and for that purpose may require the district attorney to issue process for the witnesses"
 The grand juror who is truly interested in the well being of system of justice will take heed that he enters the jury in full awareness of his role and his responsibilities in both directions. Any emulation by the grand jury the alarmngly growing tendency among our Justice Courts of shirkng responsibility over onto the shoulders of the tribunal in the line of law enforcement might well open the door to disastrous breakdown of our judicial system
 That the petit jury is the final judge of the facts is no answer. Where indictment is brought the petit jury acts not all Where indictment is returned without true and just ground hardship may well be brought down upon a fellow citizen who might be bameless. Added days in custody costs of defense, uncertainty suffered could be payment unduly exacted.
 The law held up into the full light of exact truth and fair consideration is best upheld

Peacetime Intelligence
Washington Evening Starr

Washington Evening Starr
 Americas new peacetime foreign intelligence serv- ice will have little resemblance to the undercover groups romantcized in the mystery novels of E. Phillips Oppenheim and other storytellers of the foreign intrigue school according Col Alfred Mccormack, who has been assigned to organize the service Its and fit and of foreign chanceeries with furve looks their faces and miscrophones in their pockets Their mission will not be to stir up wars, either deliberately by the indirect methods of giving ofense through inept espionage On the contrary, Col Mo Corack asserts it will be the purpose of the service first to avoid by learning to know and understand other countries and peoples and second to be prepared for any attack that might be launched against us.
 One of the great handicaps which confronted this country in both world the scarcity of reliable information hand concerning not only industrial and military resources of enemies but such vital things as depth of certain harbors and channels details of shore configuraton soil conditions at spots considered for amphibouS landings and for construction of air strips etc Being traditionaly nation interested in preserving peace than in preparing for war, we allowed potential enemies to photograph and map many of our defense points, while we content to receive and file what meager data consuls and military and naval attaches able to pick up less casually. We have fulltim collectors of special information and suffered by thereof.
 It is reassuring to know that we intend to profit by past mistakes and that in the new era of atomic energy and electronics, when it will be vital to Americas security to keep abreast of what the other nations are doing, State Department and our armed services intend to be properly informed of developments and conditions abroad

WHAT MAKES GI BLOOD BOIL

Here are some of the things which make GI. blood boil:
 A recent diary of two Army pi- lots at Drew Field, Tampa, Fla:
 $. Flew brigadier general to At lanta for purpose of picking up Christmas tree and leaving pre- sents for his daughter. Flight con- tinued to Chanute Field, H., to bring the Geperal's son, private, back to Tampa for the holidays. After Christmas, another essential flight was made to Chanute, H., to return the son. Both flights in B-17, consuming 250 gallons of high octane per hour.
 "B. Flew to San Antonio, Tex, , eturning with pilots father-in-law.
 The father-in-law, captain wanted to spend Christmas with his daughter. B-17 again.
 "C. Flew to Providence. R. l., to take another generals secretary, q. WAC first lieutenant, home for the holidays Trip made in C47.
 ID. Colonels wife in Tampa was lonely for her husband. Special flight made to New Jersey to bring the colonel to his wife for the hol- idays. BIT again.
 "E. Flew a captain to Buffalo, x. Y, so he could spend three days at home Return trip to Buffalo necessary to bring the captain back again. B-17 used again.
 Doing this kind of essential work is certainly not a morale booster. We came into this Army with an open mind, but if there is ever another emergency, they'll have to use radar to find us" (coPYRIcHT, BELL SYNDICATE, INC. l946)

aboard the Franklin.

aboard the Franklin.
 These six officers, it was claimed, had contributed to pandemonium aboard the Franklin by jumping from the carrier to the cruiser Santa Fe alongside. Their jumping helped touch off an exodus of en- listed men and officers.
 Contributing to the pandemonium were two other factors. A handful of enlisted men, drenched and burned from fire-fighting, had been permitted to put on officers uni forms when their own quarters were shut off by fire. Thus it was difficult to tell who were officers. Also the ships loud-speaker system had broken down. Result: It was impossible to give orders which could be heard all over the ship.
 In the old days, oroers were giv- en by a boatswain with a whistle. But since the Franklin's demolished loud-speaker has shown how easy it is to lose control of a ship, the Navy has installed localized loud speakers, so that if one breaks down in one part of the ship, others can be used elsewhere.
 All of which indicates some of the wheels within wheels regard ing the Congressional Medal of Honor now being given to coura- geous Father O'Callahan.
