LAST OF 93RD TO
ARRIVE This week
By Conrad Clark

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80 (ANP)
The last elements of the 93rd In
fantry division will arrive at San
Francisco over the coming week
end, according to the war depart
ment.
The division, which has a
strength of about 600 men, is now
under the command of Brig. Gen.
Leonard Boyd, who replaced Maj.
Gen. Johnson a few months ago.
There are many stories yet un-
told about this division, which may
now be released, following the in
activation of the organization.
One of the many unreleased
stories about Johnson and his men
is about the near-riot of the 93rd
and white troops in Hollandia,
Netherlands East Indies, concern
ing the bathing at the enlisted

mems "Imbi" beach.
There is another story about Ne
gro officers not being permitted to
attend the officers club on that is
land, but which was eventually
Strengthened out by the general.
The last story concerning the
general, prior to his leaving the
93rd, was ''his accepting the sur
render of the japanese on Nor
atoi."
The acceptance" of the surren-
der, was officially made to Gen.
Blimey of the Australian army for
the United States and her allies,
by the Japanese army and Gen.
Johnson was mere bystander on
the day of surrender.
According to the report, Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters did not
accept the surrender as coming
from Johnson and his 93rd divis-
ion, and he requested the Austrial-
ian general ito represent him and
accept the surrender, which was
'given" to Johnson.

Pulaski County
Joins TO Finance
Extra Elections

Pulaski county will become the
fourth county in the state to an
nounce the financing of two ex-
ira elections, confirming a 1915
legislative act to prevent the
Negro from exercising his Con-
stitutional Right in the state.
The intention of extra elections in
the state is to separate elections
for state offices and federal Of
FIGS as a subterfuge to steer clear
of tn U. S. Supreme Courts rul-
ing and tax the Negro without
representation. The u. S. Su-
preme Court ruled that Negroes
cannot be barred because of race
from voting in primaries in which
federal offices are involved.
If the extra elections are car
ried through in the county, it is
obvious that the Negro will have
no say in choosing state officers,
unless the United States Supreme
Court will rule more specific in
conforming with the Fourteen and
and Fifteen Amendments.

Pine Bluff Leauue
Considers Plans
To Develop Park

Pine Bluff - The Pine Bluff
Negro Business League will
consider plans for the develop
mcnt of Townsend Park at its
regular meeting, Wednesday
evening, when a special commit
tee will report a successful con-
ference with the chairman of the
Pine Bluff Park Commission, ac-
cording to an announcement
made by W. Harold Flowers, ex-
ecutive secretary.
The committee headed by u.
S. Brown, local undertaken, con-
ferred with II. j. Rhineheart,
chairman of the City Park Com
mission on Friday, Brown will
report that the forty acre
park which adjoins the white
Oaklawn Park may be turned
over to local Negroes for de-
velopmcnt, provided assurance is
given that the group intends to
develop the project on which
thousands of dollars have been
spent. Serving on the commit
tee with Brown are: Malvin f.
Moore, ST., and E. d. PEBBLES,
Jr.
This action follows a sugges-
ton made by the Executive Sec
rotary that volunteers contri-
butte enough money to construct
a swimming hole for the young
sters for the summer of 1916.
Flowers offered to give $4,000
for the project, and his action
was followed by pledges of six
members of the executive COM
mittee.

BY S. S. TAYLOR

The national and international
Trend in l945 had a direct effect
upon the fortunes of Brown Lit
lie Rock. The sudden and dra-
matte death of President Roose-
welt foreshadowed the full dress
parade of the anti-humanity for
ces and a general onslaught on
his program to promote the
general welfare" The surren-
ders of Germany and Japan and
their satellites reinforced this
backward trend, eliminating the
stark necessity for appeasing the
so-called minority groups here.
Consequently, the local Negro
like the Negro elsewhere lost
some ground. The Jacksonville
and Pine Bluff plants terminated
many workers. The local Vet
Grams Administration and the
Employment Services stood pat

Killer Freed In
Scab-Striker Row
In Local Oil Mill

The Pulaski County Grand
Jury, in a one-day meeting last
week found mo bill' against
Otha Williams, who was charged
with murder in connection with
the stabbing of Walter Camp
bell, striker at the Southern
Oil Company Christmas week.
The Jury also released two
strikers who were under bond
charged with creating distur-
bance in violation of Arkansas
anti-violence statute, which was
passed in the state in 1913.
Campbell was killed when
workers in the plant who re-
fused to join the union men in
their walk-out of December II,
reversed their procedure in leav-
ing the mill and walked out
Ninth street instead of loading
in vehicles on or adjacent to the
company's property. 1t is re-
ported that the scabbing men,
who were walking from the plant
met Campbell and Robert Brooks
his striking companion, and
Campbelrs refusal to return to
work after he is said to have
been asked by the superinten-
dent early to return and advise
the men to do likewise at dou-
bic pay is thought to have had
bearing on the affray that cost
him his life, and indictments
for other members of the union,
The anti-violence statute makes
unlawful the use of force, VOL
ence or threats of violence in
strikes.
Louis Jones, president of the
local, was indicted along with
Jesse Bean and Roy Cole, both
strikers. All are affiliated with

Workers Union Of America, {,

and non striking employees OF

cation would provide lawyers

Here and There
Ted HollinsWorth

Philadelphia, Pa.-Being in the
Getty of Brotherly Love- one
would think from the CONVERSE
ton of Negroes here that as
a Negro comes out of his door in
the South he is shot down by a
white man. If the Southern
white man is half as bad as he
is portrayed to be in this section,
just in a few more years there
will be no Negroes living in the
South. After delivering an ad-
dress at a white church, in Amar-
lila, Texas, in 1945, I had the ex-
perience of white man, his wife,
and three children bringing me
to the station in the family car.
The little white girl cried because
her mother had snatched her
hand, so that she could not touch

child had rubbed my hands, she

he won't bite" That child had
been taught that human beings
who had dark skin would bite
painting a dark picture and pre-
JUDGING the child's mind with
poison that may break out into
"boils of trouble" in manhood and
womanhood. So here in the east,
the Negro child is told that a

tricky, and will burn Negroes at
stake as well as shoot them down
for no reason at all. Whatever
happens in the South, the Negroes

After the officers took the child
in custody, it is reported that the
language used by them on the
child, frightened her into a con-
fession of guilt. But her inability
to tell what she had done with
the watch, prompted the Off
GERS to force the child to make a
search in the mire that covered
that section. Not having any
luck in the mire, the child, ac-
cording to witnesses, was forced
into a ditch of water to con-
tinue the search, before being
turned over to the probation Of
ficer.
The probation officer, accord.
ing to witnesses, took one look
at the appearance of the child,
which could not have been the
best, because the child is one Of
a family of several small children
who are supported from the
meager earnings Of mother who
is employed in service, and stated:
Eyes, she stole II. YOU can lQGIk

that, took charge Of the child and
carried her away. Later, the
probation officer brought her
back and went through the same
routine gone over by the white Of
ficers, even forcing the child in
the cold water again.
This was Friday, December 28,
and a check with the United
States Weather Bureau reveals
that the temperature was "a de-
