a minority group Of Representatives
from the South during a three and.
a-half-hour discussion Of each OF

she added, "the men Of our
Community Chest Board, from
which we get financial support,

We believe in the recommended

Few Protests
Protests from few delegates
were heard as each Of the 80
points was voted upon orally by
the 1000 representatives eligible
to vote. The program was in.
troduced by Mrs. Mary Tucker, Of
Summit, N. j., who supervised a
survey of interracial practices in
228 Of 434 local associations in the
United States.
Held by delegates to be one Of

Church Hospitals Elude Negroes
Racial practices of church con-
trOlled hospitals are little different
from such practices in other hos
pitfalls. Negro nurses, Negro doc
tors, and Negro patients are ex-
cluded from most church-controlled
hospitals"
The report assailed segregation
practices in all phases Of Ameri-
can life, charging that they have
denied to millions of citizens free
access to the means Of making a
living.
political segregation has dis
franchised large numbers of our
citizens, tending to create unneces-
sary confusion in dealing with i'm
portant national issues, creating
unreal political divisions, and Civ
ing rise to a type Of political dema-
goguery that threatens the exist
ence of democratic institutions, I"
the report said.
The question of segregation was
wrapped up in a resolution passed
by a section meeting on "com-
munity tensions" on March 5 after
hearing several colored pastors
plead against "the pattern Of seq
regation more rigid than law keep
ing them out"
The Rev. A. Wayman Ward, pas
tor Of the Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal church in Chicago, told
the meeting that a new policy Of
nonsegregation would not mean
a stampede Of Negroes into your
churches"
1--WE might not like your preach
ing so much as our own" he said,
but we do like to feel that IL we
want to join, we are perfectly free
to dc it. It's the freedom a man
feels that counts"
Declaring that "You can't have
democracy until you attack seq
regation," Bishop J. W. Martin Of
the AME Zion church Of Chicago
added:
"You would know it II you were
colored for just one day"

Cobb wants a drink, he'll have
to wait" The two men waited, and
after still being ignored, left the
cafe, Bierman said. Attorney L. o.
Smith will handle the case.
Hale's suit charges he was re-

he was a Negro. Sampanis' at

charges would be made.

Federal Court jurisdiction.
Asks for Judgment

At the same time, Thornton's
lawyer, u. s. District Attorney
Victor +. Anderson, made q motion
for summary Judgment, asking
the court TO throw out the entire
action against him and give him the
judgment on the pleadings.
Both motions came up for hear
Ing in Federal Court before Judge
Joyce on Feb. IL, and although
Thornton's motion was argued, the
court had TO consider the Ampey
motion first.
In returning the case to Henno-
pin County Court, Judge Joyce said
In his order Of March 8, granting
the motion for remand: "It Is
obvious that the defendant (Thorn-
toni here cannot defend against
this Islander suit on the ground that

Adopt Strong Attack on
Segregation
The 800 delegates to the Fed
eral Council meeting adopted a
report condemning race segrega-
ton as "the pattern Of American
race relations" renouncing segre-
cation and calling upon its % mem
Der churches to work for "a nom
segregated church and a mon
segregated society"
Bishop H. Lester Smith, head
Of the Methodist church in the
Ohio area, told the council that in
his church there was no segrega-
ton in the General Assembly, the
governing body of the entire
church, but that in subordinate
bodies there was separation Of
clergy and laity into their own con-
gregations, with the groups work
ing together in harmony. He
asked whether any drastic re-or-
ganization would be expected Of
the Methodist church.
DR.. Henry Sloane Coffin of New
York City, chairman Of the coun-
ellis department Of research and
education, which prepared the basic
report, said remuneration Of forced
segregation was sought but not Of
voluntary grouping.
The report said:

bodies are divided on q racial basis,

in local congregations. So COM

The Stranger
By ELIZABETH BARTLETT
Chanter II

Chapter II
 The shouts of the local police chief Ira Menthier and the clang of the one fire engine that East Granfield could boast gradually brought Ann back to her senses.
 She was conscious of feeling cold and the warm, rough hOusework calloused hands of Aunt Lydia Baker, one of their nearest neigh bors, was starting the warm flow of blood again in her veins.
 "Then I'm not dead?" she mutt tered, surprised relief in her tones.
 Course not, dearie! comisserated Aunt Lydia, that there explosion mHsta knocked you galley west for a spell"
 And then she remembered, a shudder shaking her whole body, ''That man e. the gun. ."
 "Just imagination, dearie, and l don't wonder. My stars Ida seen more'n a gun if t'were me. Why l was settin' in the front room with my husband, Jed, when 1t hap pened. Jed says, say he, Boy! That struck mighty close! Lands, says l, that there's an explosion says l, might be the end of the whole world, what with them atom bombs and all, says l."
 Cold fear gripped Ann for a mo- ment as Aunt Lydia mumbled on with her dramatic, not on the scene, experiences. Tt IS true. That man on the steps :. and then . then WHERE'S RANDY?" she al- most screamd.
 "There, there, 1ovey. We don't want to excite ourselves, do we?" she patted Ann's wrists.
 Ann swung her feet to the floor. She had been lying on the living room couch. Her head spun, but although her senses were reeling, she knew she must do something and do it quickly. Where are Sue and Jim?" her tones were flat as if she anticipated the negative an- SWer.
 Why you was all alone when we got here, and that's fact. Scared to death you was, no doubt; being

Is International Finance Ring To Be Exposed dt Last?
Emanuel Is Key Figure; Bankers Back of Two Big U s.
 Holding Companies Substituting Nazis

Some of the biggest mysteries of Wall Street and international finance, and some issues of great importance to the American people. are back of two events which passed almost unnoticed this week.
 Victor Emanuel, Leo T. Crowley, James E. Markham and three other directors were reelected at the annual meeting of the Standard Gas & Electric Company, despite opposition by many stockholders.
 The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it will hold hearings to determine what action it should take against Standard and some of it's subsidi- aries under the Wheeler-Rayburn Utility Holding Company Act.
 List Fills Pages
 The Standard system has so many holding companies, sub- holding companies and operating companies that their names fill two pages of the s. E. C. state ment. They include not only cleo tric and gas utilities, but also oil, railway, real estate and other corporations.
 The boss of this billion-dollar industrial and financial empire is Victor Emanuel. He also heads an- other empire, topped by another big holding company, the Aviation Corporation of America.
 Its subsidiaries operate dozens of radio broadcasting stations, steel and airplane plants, ship com panies and other kinds of corpora tions, too numerous to list here.
 "HOuse of Schroeder"
 The records of the s. E. C. and other government agencies, and statements made in Congress, show that Emanuel has long been closely associated with the in ternational banking House of Schroeder" of New York, Lon don, and Germany.
 Schroeder Brothers continued in dominant financial position in Germany under the Kaiser, the Republic, and throughout the years when Hitler was in power,' , Congressman Richard B. Wiggles- worth told the House last January.

 But he wasn't" Ann blurted out, i've had supper and then Jim and Sue came over to play cards and ="
 The look on Lydia's face stopped her account.
 You was bad hurt, or maybe a mite teched by that same boil" Aunt Lydia comisserated, why l hardly got here, Jed's out with the firemen y'know, fore Sue and Jim called to say they was sorry they couldn't get over on account of the storm. And not five minutes ago Randy called himself from Granfield, to say he'd been held up by the heavy rain in Granfield, but he's on his way now. :"
 Fright, bordering on hysteria, swept through Ann in waves. This was worse than guns and murder, this was something that would re- quire a great deal of explaining on someone's part, a great deal of thought and inner thinking by her. self. Who was deliberately try ing to prove her insane. What was her husbands role in this ter TOT in the night? Her gaze went towards the venetian blinds. They were still open as they had been when the room was full of darkness and a feeling of wierd dread. Where had Randy gone? What had he found? Why all this cover up masquerade? Where did Jim and Sue enter into the picture? Fine friend Sue turned out to be leav- ing her there for dead.
 May I have a fresh drink of water?" she asked of Aunt Lydia.
 Why, yes, dearie. Why don't you just lie down again until you hus- band gets here?" she hustled off.
 Quickly Ann moved to the front door which was still open, and stepped out onto the broad veranda. There was nothing and no one there. But some force stronger than Ann urged her to move forward and down the steps. Some inner sense propelled her to search by the hydrangea bush by the steps, and there she saw it, with the drops of rain glistening along its grey barrel like dew in the summer moon- light. The storm had gone but a hurricane of conflicting thoughts were storming in Ann's brain. She bent and picked the 32 calibre pis- tol up. She had proved she wasn't mad. She would show this as evil dence to Aunt Lydia. Firmly grasping the gun she advanced up the steps just as the porch light went on.
 My lands! What fright you gave me, when see you weren't X. .'' a loud anti-climactic scream rent the summer night. Pounding feet beat the way from the garage to the house. Ann was frozen in her tracks. The expression on Aunt Lydia's face was so ludicrous that she wanted to laugh. Her mouth .agape and siren that
