Hey Ba Ba Rebop''
Revue at Orpheum

Down Orpheum Theatre way,
swing will reign king when Lionel
Hampton and his Hey Ba Ba Re
bop revue hypnotizes and tanta-
Lies his audiences with their ini-
mitable, Infectious tempos.
When they open at the Orpheum
Friday, July 10Th, Hampton and
his artists will fill the crowds with
the same rocking rhythm that
permeateS his entire aggregation.
This group of hilarious perform
ers are geared to a perfection hard
to duplicate.
Featured vocalists Madeline
Green and Winni Brown, a new
find from Chicago, both easy on
the eye, will give out with honey
ed tones pleasing to the ear.
Red and Curley, drumsters and
funsters deluxe, will provide an
avalanche of entertainment with
a flair for the original.
The whirlwind pace will be set
by the whole band and taken up
by Arnett Cobbs, tenor sax SEN
sation and Johnny Griffin, school

that will set the crowd on edge.
If there is a lull, Milton Buck

worries.
Through it all, Hampton's an

selves as he directs, sings, plays
Elrums, piano and clarinet. His
feats on the vibraharp definitely
enter the realm Of the great.
He performs with the velocity
of dynamo which injects his au-

SAYS ATTY.-CEN. CLARK
FAILS TO PROTECT CIVIL
RIGHT OF CITIZENS

NEW YORK, N. Y.-RemovaI
of Attorney General Tom Clark
was asked of President Truman
today by the Civil Rights Congr-
ess which charged that Clark has
not only failed to protect the CT
vii rights of Negroes and others
but that he has become a new and
powerful ally of the Woodlands
in Un-American Activities Com
mittee and that his use of red
batting affords Rankin, Bilbo and
the Klan a bridgehead in the Ca
binet.
In a statement addressed to the
President and sent also to mem
bers Of the Cabinet, the Civil
Rights Congress cited Clark's last
speech before the Chicago Bar
Association two weeks ago as
confirmation by Clark himself
that the Department of Justice
under his direction has done little
or nothing about 2699 protests of
violations of civil liberties receiv-
ed during recent months.
Not denying the existence of
these violations nor condemning
those guilty Gro said, he assailed
as outside biologists those who
protested.
The Attorney Generals use Of
the red smear in an effort to dis
credit those who demand the en-
forcement of constitutional rights
e simply that Rankin, Bilbo
and the Klan have a bridgehead
in the Cabinet, the statement ad-
opted by the executive board of
the Gro says. The Wood-Rankin
Un-American Activities has won
a new and powerful ally not only
for it's un-American aims but for
its tactic of serving as prosecu-
tor, judge and jury.
Charging that the Department of
Justice has consistently refused TO
act against the Ku Klux Khan. has
apparently dropped its action
against pro-Nazi seditionists and
has done nothing to bring to jul
stice those responsible for lynch
murder, Gro assails Clark's last
speech as a call to witch hunting
and lynch rule and a step toward
fascism in America that must be
challenged.
In addressing the Chicago Bar
Association, Clark characterized
strikes over wages as a commun-
ist plot and part of a conspiracy

Out of the clear blue sky I ran

to give me a tip on the first race.

Paves Way for Political
Action by Largest Minority
Group In the World

CINCINNATI. July 3rd-In a
precedent shattering move action
was taken at the 37th Annual
Conference of NAACP branches
paving the way for political act

in the world. More than 700 dele
gates representing 1,O01 branches
with $4,000 members Endorsed a
plan which would provide for a
rating of candidates for national,
state and local office. The rating
system is expected to serve as a
guide for Negro voters, in their
selection of candidates who are in
sympathy with Negro and minor
ity aspirations. This is especially
significant inn view of the fact
that there are many thousands Of
Negroes throughout the South who

Texas Primary Case handed down
by the US Supreme Court.
The resolution on Political Act
ion was adopted after the Board
of Directors suggested the need
for such action. "A committee was
selected, three members by the
Board and three from conference
delegates, to study the feasibility
of political action with particular
emphasis on the system of rating
both for local chapters and for
the national office.
The Committee according to
Walter White will be charged with
studying dangers inherant in po-
litical action of such nature.

young lady did the same, I can
tell you truthfully, that she lost

Among the more important events
scheduled for this week is the session
of the Big Four foreign ministers in
London. The general expectation is
that the Russian commissar, Mr.. Molo-

wit:
1-Exclusive Russian mandate over
Italian Tripolitania.
"A Russian naval base in the
Dodecanese islands.
3-Agreement for revision of the
Montreux conference controlling the
Dardanelles which would in fact place
the straits under Russian control
None of these is likely to win Bri-
tish approval. If they do not, Mr..
Molotov is expected to play his ace in
the hole. It's effectiveness will de-
pend on whether Russia is successful
in having pro-Russian regime set up

Welcome, Sinclair

Wilmington has long been an i'm
portant distribution center for pc
troleum and petroleum products. Be-
fore the war it was the largest south
of Baltimore. On the testimony of oil
men yesterday, the port has again
reached that position in the reviving
commerce on the Cape Fear. It is
seldom indeed that glance down the
river does not reveal tanker at one
terminal or another.
To further advance it's position, the
Sinclair Oil Company announces it's
purpose to build $750,OO0 terminal,
which will include eight tanks, and
reinforces it's announcement by the
purchase of one tract of land and an
option on another.
The tanks will hold $4,000 barrels
of oil, which amounts roughly to 49,
100000 gallons. To we holders of A
ration cards during the war, which
permitted us to buy from four to two
gallons week, according to the sup
ply in excess of the war demand, this
total has an astronomical sound. It's
movement through the port in addition
to the combined business of the other
terminals which gave the port it's origi-
nal high standing will have marked
effect upon the ports prosperity.
Now that thirty-two-foot channel
is in sight, with the possibility that it
may ultimately be thirty-five feet,
larger tankers will be coming in and
the gross volume of petroleum and it's
products handled here will steadily
increase.
Welcome, Sinclair.
