LABOR SULKS AT
 FOREIGN POLICY

London-For some time now there has been the feeling in Eng land that the labor element in Parliament has not been exactly happy about MT, Bevin's foreign policy. oHwever not even the lead CTS expected the large deAection from party loyalty that occurred the other day. When a formal vote was called the other day, sixty labor party members sat stolidly in their seats and nearly third stayed away.
 This turn of events is causing serious concern within the Labor group and leaders are looking about for reasons. One that is be- ing given major consideration at the moment is the possible inhu- ence that the Republican victory in America has had on the Eng fish mind. At first the inclination to turn toward Russia rather than the United States was interpreted as the leaning of those persons who are pro-Russian in their in clinations. But now it appears that these people are not pro-Russian but individuals who are anti-Am- erican capitalists. Additionally these people say that they were quite willing to cooperate with the liberalism that was represented by President Roosevelt. Now with the political change they feel that about all of the progressive ness that was in Washington is being swept out. Therefore they prefer to align themselves with Communist Russia rather than a Republican United States.

'COLUMBIA-TENN.
 TRIAL BEGINS

Columbia, Tenn, Nov. 12-In Maury County Circuit Court, in Columbia, Tenn, William Pillow and Lloyd Kennedy went on trial today on charges of murder in the first degree. Both men are accused of shooting a policeman during the "riot" in Columbia on Feb ruary 2oth. The trial of these two of the original defendants was grudgingly postponed by Judge Joe Ingram last July when MA ACP defense counsel asked for postponement following news of Special Counsel Thurgood Mar shall's illness.
 Recent motions to change venue and to quash the jury trial were denied, and the two mems trial will commence as soon as a jury Is picked.
 It IS expected that the trial will be similar in all respects to the recent trial of 25 Columbia Ne groes in Lawrenceburg, Tenn, which resulted in the acquittal of g, and focused nationwide atten- tion on the little Southern court room.
 William Pillow and Loy Ken nedy will be defended by NAACP defense attorneys z. A. Looby, Leon A. Ransom, Maurice M. Weaver and Thurgood Marshall.

HEROIC WOMAN WINS KING GEORGE CROSS

London-Thousands of men and women in continental Europe civilian life sacrificed their lives that the ideals that they believed in should not die. The German army as the records indicate, were heartless with all of these people who were opposed to them.
 Mrs. Odette Samson was one of those persons who despite ex- cruciating torture, held to the courage of her convictions. She is a French woman who worked in the underground, aiding and as sisting the British.
 She was caught by the Ger mans and nan effort to make her reveal whom she was working with, they pulled out her toe-nails and branded her back with hot irons.
 For this unbelievable fortitude and bravery King George VI has just awarded Mrs. Sansom the George Cross, which is the high est civilian award. As she received this distinction Mrs. Sansom said, "The price 1 paid was very small for such an honor and such re- ward"

NORTH GREECE RESENTS MONARCH

The King is back in Greece and to all intent and purpose, part of the population and the leaders of Great Britain are we'll satisfied.
 On the other hand it looks as though all northern Greece from Mount Olympus to the border are very much dissatisfied with both the King and Great Britain and therefore the government has been busted in that area. And though there is no clear picture of the sit uation, there are indications that another war is being quietly fought in Greece.
 This situation so provoked Pre- mier Constantin Tsaldaris that in frenzy he hammered on his desk in Parliament and accused all three opposition parties of anti national criticism.
 x In return for this outbreak the Premier found Parliament ad- journed in indignation and with the expression that they would only return when he had apolo- gized for his insult.
 There are indications of very serious trouble brewing for some sources have the feeling that these so-called rebels are the same pa triots that carried on for Greece against the Germans during the war.

BRITAIN WINNING ECONOMIC WAR

When the war ended no coun- try was in a more desperate eco homie condition than Great Brit ain. Her trade routes had been shattered to smitherings during the long war and her whole existence was dependent upon a lend-lease arrangement and the production of a Land Army.
 In the interim the socialist have taken over in the midst of a re- tention of all the war restrictions on food and clothes that the peo- pie of America could not endure. It all looked like a very long and difficult route back to economic solvency for John Bull.
 Now the British Board of Trade announces to the world that the country's October production has already equalled the highest peak since the war ended with a total export volume of 90 million pounds sterling. This figure ex- ceeds by 20 per cent the pre-war exports.
 To this Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison advised Com mons that this Is but the founda- tion for more intensive drive.
 This IS the kind of news that Is gradually seeping out of a country we know has been economically prostratc, while America with all kinds of resources with which to work, are faced with all of postwar problems that daily be- come more involved.

SPORTS
 Hartford Steamrollers In High Gear

The Hartford Steamrollers semi--pro football team is high, mighty, and good for many reasons. After having fair sue cess during the major portion of the season, the whole team has been streamlined with streamlined plays, new players, and new coach.
 Thomas l.. Borders, the new coach, is said to be working wonders with the newly reor- ganized team. Borders, who has eight years of football ex- perience, is a graduate of More house College and the Univer- sity of Hawaii.
 Many of us know the grid iron feats of such men as Paul Mikell, Guy Hawkins, Parks, Nixon, Foster, and many other too numerous to mention. But none of us know the brilliant plays the team has for its re- maining games.
 The team is expected to roll over Stamford when 1t invades that city on this coming Sun day. The following Sunday it will be playing head-up and wide open ball, possibly in Hart ford at the Municipal Stadium. The Steamrollers are also at tempting to schedule it's last game with the highly success full Hartford Blues. This should be the best game of the season. It is a guess that the Steam rollers will emerge victoriuos.

PRESSURE BRINGS BACK VOICE

Poplarville, Miss.-Though re- cuperating from a severe throat operation that partially took his voice, Senator Bilbo momentarily regained the same under pressure of the coming congressional inves- tigation.
 MT. Bilbo regained this speech long enough to bemoan the fact that this investigation had been brought on by ungrateful Negroes who resented his campaign to have them all shipped back to Africa. He also pointed out that he felt sure that much of the present con- troversy had been inspired by Ross Collins, an aspirant for his Sen ate seat in the last elections.
 But above all else, Senator Bill bo used the temporary recovery of his voice to protest loudly the fact that he had in no wise helped with any contracts or received money for favors granted.

FIVE SENIINARIES

Brussels, Belgium, Nov. - Special-The fact that at least 21 years training is required for the intellectual, moral and religious preparation of Afri- can natives for the Catholic priesthood is brought out in the Courier d'Afrique, published here.
 According to a report pub lished in the Courier, students enter the seminaries after hav- ing attended primary schools for five or six years. Six to seven years are devoted to classical studies, three years to hilosophy and five years to the ology. Between the philosophi- cal and theological studies the candidates spend one year of probation at missionary post.
 At the present time five semi naries are being operated in the Belgian Congo, the paper states. About $50 students in philosophy and theology are now enrolled at the seminaries, which during the past 25 years have trained 25O native priests.

 Let's walk in! So we did "Greetings", came from the gen. tleman seated at an advantage point elevated at the rear of the room. What can I do for you today?" These are the words of none other than Rev. James Mo Iver, proprietor.
 MT. McIver came from that great state of Georgia in 1925. He is a member of the A.M.E. New England Conference. His first adventure was with L. B. Barnes, undertaken, after three years he moved out to the present address, and started grocery bus mess. As all other adventures it was a painful climb.
 His business has been an ex- pensive experience, but through all this, and the process of elimin- ation, MT. McIver seems to be proud. He feels that the Chronicle is an asset to the community, and the state at large, and he intends to lend hand in its success.

THANKSGIVING

Since the world is partially back to normal trend of our common everyday life it is fitting that I mention the sacred American Hol- iday known as Thanksgiving. This day of thanks is the day that most Americans observe and give thanks to God for having successfully harvested their crops which they had planted during the summer and spring.
 This year we are more than thankful for what we have. This IS our second Thanksgiving since the war ended. We are again get ting back to ourselves. We are thankful to certain leaders who are trying to keep the gains which we have made: We should also be thankful for our friends and loved ones who are still here with us. We should send up a special prayer to those who have given the supreme sacrifice on the battle fields of the world. It IS for us the living to see that this destruc- tion will never again face the peo- pies of the world. Civilization cannot afford another war.
 Though the fight is just begun we should be thankful for the so- cial gains which the Negroes have made in the past year. There are more and more people who have realized that America is made up of all races. There are certain groups who have been pressed to recognize the struggle of the Ne gro for Economic equality. This Thanksgiving should find us pray ing for courage to go on in our fight. Then in years to come we can all enjoy a real true Thanks giving. It will be as true as the victories which our fighters won for us during the time of battle. When these objections are gained then, and not till then will all of us sit back to our turkey dinners and say we'll done-America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. It will be the kind of America that all men, regardless of creed, national origin, or relig- ion, can enjoy without fear in any part of the United States.
