BOOKER I. WASHINGTON
HONOR BANQUET

SHREVEPORT, La, Apr. II
(ANP)-Civic leaders from all
parts of the state attended the
Shreveport Business League spon-
sored banquet at George Washing
ton Carver YMCA here to honor
Booker T. Washington on the date
of his birth.
The banquet hall was filled to
overflowing with members and
guests of the league which repre-
sents more than 70 per cent of all
Negro business in this section DR..
Jesse J. Mcneil dean of the school
of religion, Bishop College, was
guest speaker.
DR.. Mcneil compared Booker T.
Washington's struggle with that
confronted by business men and
women today, and reminded his au-
dience to cast down your buckets
where you are,' become independ-
ent and help provide opportunities
for youth"
The speaker warned that the chal-
lenge to Negro business is to pro-
vide apprenticeship opportunities
for youth or face economic slavery
and destruction.

it was charged that Senator Tydings
of Maryland was assiduously on the
hunt for hulls of old United States
ships to be sent as scrap iron to
Japan. What did either the Senate
or the House do about this?
Precisely nothing.
On the House Side.
On the House side, 1t Is true that
Representative May has found
himself in the boiling water of the
Mead committee, but is he the only
one who should be hailed before the
bar Of public opinion? Is he even
the only Representative involved in
the Carson scandal? Is the lid
really being taken right off or only
tilted enough to permit the escape
of sufficient steam so that more
violent explosion will not occur?
And why has the leadership of the
House never done anything about
Representative Jed johnson of Ok
lahoma and his solicitation of fa-
vors from the Department of the
Interior, of whose subcommittee on
appropriations he was chairman?

of Congress to investigate fully and
freely any matter that affects the
Government or the welfare of the
United States is one of its most
valuable rights. I am In favor Of

Matter of elf-Protection.
But why should not the Congress
occasionally peer into the mirror to
ascertain whether or not 1t has a
beam in it's own eye? The decent
and upright members of Congress
should insist, even If only as a mat
ter of self protection, that there be
an honest and thorough overhaul

should hew to the line of upright
official behavior, letting the chips

Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
either personally, or through men,

ulating in the cotton market Yet
Senator Thomas has been one of

Senator Thomas or any member of
the Senate demanded an investiga-

knew, the chief force opposing him
was the CIO and it's Political Ac-
tion Committee. which, as Senator
Byrd pointed out. had singled him
out as its No. villain, to the polit-
ical destruction OF whom it had
pledged itself, Senator Byrd &C
cepted the challenge and that was
the real issue in the campaign. It
was expected that the CIO would
make dirty Highland it did. Not
only misrepresentation but outright
lies, Senator Byrd charged-and
proved-were spread around the
State, and the quality of the "litera-
ture" used against him was more
than usually scurrilous.
Recognized Methods.
There was no reason to be sur
prised at this. Those are recognized
CIO political methods. It's PAC
performed entirely in character.
That sort Of stuff is routine propa-
ganda with it. What was surprising
was the sort of calumny to which
some of the self-styled liberal"
writer's and papers which. though
sympathetic with the CLOS polit-
ical aims, are supposed to have
higher standards both personally
and politically, lent themselves.
One instance Of this was the link
ing in print of the name of Senator
Byrd with those two prize Demo-
cratic demagogues, Senator Bilbo of
Mississippi and Gov ELECT Talmadge
OF Georgia, the effort being to make
1t appear that all three were of a
type-tarred with the same stick.
This was an outrageous thing to
do, indicative of the minds of the
men arrayed against him.
1t was an unscrupulous attempt to
smear fine man, personally and
politically as far removed from that
type as well could be- No one before
ever thought of Harry Byrd as a
demagogue. 1t Is the last thing he
could be called with even a trace of
Justification
Another instance was the charge
made after bis victory that there
had been no CIO propaganda in the
campaign, that the CIO had made
no fight against Senator Byrd, that
Senator Byrd in accepting the CIO
challenge had created a "phony
issue" purposely to "mislead the
people" These allegations are so
far from the truth, so completely
absurd that they are almost too
silly to notice. They are cited here
merely to illustrate the character of
the left-wing politicians and propa-
gandists and to show how the pro-
fessional liberals take licking.
Hated by Radical Leaders.
The truth is that Senator Byrd is
more bitterly hated by the radical
leaders in this country and their
literary aides than any other man
in public life, which is vastly to his
credit. Every waster of public funds,
every spender of the taxpayers
money, every useless Federal en-
ploye and unnecessary bureaucrat,
every incompetent and extravagant
official hates him-and should. For
in the past 13 years he has opposed
all OF these more consistently, deter

Of representation In Washington.
Representative Coffee of Washing
ton found a way to accept cam
oaign contribution" in violation of
at least the spirit of the Federal
statutes governing the collection
and reporting of campaign funds.
His former secretary avowed on the
witness stand that If every member
Of Congress should be held to ac-
count for similar evasions the jails
would be full. Here was trumpet
clear challenge to every member of
Congress to demand an investigation
that would really investigate, re-
gardless of consequences. But Con-
gress did not accept the challenge.
1t has been left to the voter to do
the judging, and to vote accordingly.

SANTIAGO, Chile. Sept. 5.-With
4 substantial lead accumulating on
the basis of expanding returns, Rad
ical-Comnunist Gabriel Gonzalez
Videla claimed victory today in
Chile's presidential election, but
headquarters of Eduardo Cruz Coke,
Conservative runnerup, steadfastly
refused to concede.
Political tension mounted as Con-
zalez accused Cruz of dishonest in
tentions" and summoned a mass
meeting of his followers for Sum-
day ito make necessary decisions for
insuring respect and fulfillment of
the electoral verdict"
The latest totals issued by the gov
ernmcnt, with returns nearly COM
plete, gave Gonzalez 1873, ,102 votes;
Cruz, 140,596; Fernando Alessandri,
Liberal, i27,972, and Bernardo
Ibanez, Socialist, 1880.
Cruz headquarters maintained the
issue had mot yet been decided" and
must await the decision of a joint
session Of Congress so days hence.
Under Chilean law, unless a candi-
date polls more votes than all other
candidates combined, Congress must
choose the winner from the two

American Farmers 5
Captain Suspended
BY the A:soeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Capt.
Arthur P. Cronin, 81, master of
the freighter American Farmer, first
reported sunk and then later towed
to port after a collision at sea July
81 with the cattleboat William j.
Riddle, was found guilty today of
inattention to duty" by a Coast
Guard hearing ofIicer.
His license as a shipmaster was
ordered suspended for three months.
Capt. Cronin, receiving the. de-
cision from Comdr. William L. Ma
loney, said that 1T was what I ex-
pected. I don't expect any bouquet"
Capt. Cronin ordered his ship
abandoned after the collision TOO
miles off the British coast. The ship
first was taken in tow by q British
vessel, the Elizabete, but later was
boarded by the crew of the Ameri-
can Ranger, who started the en-
gines and got the ship to port under
her own power eight days later.
The British claimed the ship as
a salvage prize, but the American
crew said the British vessel was
too small to tow the Farmer. No
decision has been made on the
British claim. Both the Farmer and
the Ranger are operated by the
United States Lines.
Capt. Cronin's suspension is sub
ject to appeal, but he said he was
undecided on such action. His at
torney, Robert s. Erskine, said,
however, that the conviction of a
Junior third mate, Tulon e. Brown
of Newsite, Miss, also found guilty
of inattention to duty and suspend
ed for 80 days would be appealed.

Still recovering from an orgy OF

apprehension.
