Dixie Terror Rolls On

ATLANTA (LPA) - The
bombing of a Negro woman's
home in Atlanta was the latest
in q series of outrages against
Negroes apparently committed
last week by the Columbians,
Inc, a recently chartered pro-
white organization said to have
dedicated itself to aims and prin-
ciples similar to those 6f the Ku
Klux Klan.
This bombing followed the
blackjacking of Clifford Hines,
Negro, and the arrest of James
R. Childers, who was accused of
beating Hines while ION assign
ment from the Columbians." Ac-
cording to police the Columbians
had taken upon themselves to
patrol parts of Atlanta and of
guarding" some white-occupied
homes.
Investigations have revealed
that the Columbians are fighting
the influx of Negroes who have
recently acquired homes in a
former exclusively white neigh
borhood by firing guns and
throwing rocks at these homa1.

BiIbo Is Under
Two ChdrqeS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (LPA)
AT the same time last week
that the Senate Campaign Ex-
penditureS Committee was COM
pleting investigation into charges
that Senator Bilbo 3D., Miss }
intimidated or coerced Negro
voters to win primary renomi-
nation, the Senate War Investi-
eating Committee announced
that 1t was looking into Bilbo's
financial transactions" with
war contractors in his state.
The charges of intimidation
against Bilbo were sworn to by
so qualified voters of MissiS-
sippi who said that his election
was tainted with fraud, duress
and illegality' and achieved by
force and violence and the use
of criminal extra-legal and il.
legal tactics"
Meanwhile the Senate Wal
Investigating c o m m IT. e e
through its chief counsel, Fran
els Flanagan, outlined foul
chief charges against Bilbo:
(1) In Sept. 1912 Bilbo re
|csived $25, 900 from a group o.
three contractors who worked
on airfields in Mississippi; (2)
About the same time, another
contractor contributed $3.50 to
Bilbo; 90 One war contractor
in 1941 built an island in the
middle of an eight-acre lake
for Bilbo, and that two other
war contractors built a house on
the island. Further two of the
contractors furnished this house
and another gave the Senator
an automobile. az The Juniper
Grove Baptist Church, adjoin-
ing the Bilbo property, was said
to have collected over $4,000
as a result of letters Bllbo sent
to Mississippi residents seeking
funds to build a parsonage
which when built, was not oc-
cupied by the minister but put
up as collateral on a loan from
the Federal Land Bank.

Radio Strike Debated
WASHINGTON {

WASHING TON NPA)-
A strike, which would take off
the air all major radio pro-
grams, will be considered in a
series of special meetings this
week by the American Fedora
ton of Radio ArtiSts-AFL. The
controversy, which would af-
feet NBC, CHS, ABC and Mu-
tual, stems from a union-pro-
posed clause under which a net
work would agree not to furnish
program using AFRA members
to affiliated stations which r.
fused to negotiate with The
union.

Ala Condemns
PhonV ACCOUNTING

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
practice of many large U. S,
corporations of charging peace
time strike losses against spe-
cial war reserves was condemn
ed here last week by the Amer
lean Institute of Accountants.
Especially prevalent in the
steel industr ythis year, the
practice of charging strike
losses against war reserves has
made 1t possible for some firms
to show a profit for the first
quarter where otherwise a def
icit would have resulted. Among
the companies using the device
are U. S. Steel, General Elec-
trio, Bethlehem Steel, Republic
Steel, Jones & Laughlin and
Blaw-Knox.

The Oil Workers Internation-

wide negotiations next week for
a 25c-an-hour wage increase,
OWIU President o. A. Knight

return than the banner profit
year of 1945, said Knight, point
ing out that "the industry was

will be as wide and very sire
Such a service, similar to
the extension service of the
Department of Agriculture,
would be a responsibility of the
Labor Department. 1t would
enable workers to plan for pro-
gress and to promote their eco

understanding and participation

I have always believed that
standards In all fields can only
be established If laid upon the
foundation gained by broad and
yet applied education. Never in
the history of America has
workers education been more
essential than now, If we are to
build a stable economic world
In a few years, organized labor
has grown to close to $4,000, 600

the doors of our colleges and
universities, asking for services
to help them meet their In

the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers-AFL, have long
conducted discussion classes, in
stitutes, short resident courses
film services and other activ-
tiles, using teachers and otner
resources available at their state
educational institutions.
These beginnings, however
are very meager in comparison
to the need. Until some funds
are made available by a new
bill implementing the Morrill,
Act of 1852 which Is the basis
of the $50, 5000, 900 agricultural

No matter what the results Of

A recent report of the Ma

bungling our educational bust

all the people. Teachers are

Now 1t Is a truisn that de-
