Providence Youth Killed In Crash

James Robert Perry, IT,, thir- teen-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Robert Perry, of 513 Huntington Ave-, Providence, was killed in an accident in Raleigh, North Caro- lima, while visiting there with his grandmother. Faulty steering ap- paratus caused the truck in which he was riding with his uncle to crash into the bridge. Young James was taken to the local hospital, but never regained consciousness. He was a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and an 9-B stu dent at Gilbert Stuart Junior High School.
 Members of the boys family travelled to Raleigh to attend the funeral, which was held on August 23 from the Raleigh Hill Baptist Church. Interment was in the Ra- leigh Cemetery. Besides his pa rents, James is survived by his grandmother, six uncles, four aunts, five sisters, and nephew.

Walter Whites Action Saves innocent Man

August 29 - It was disclosed at NAACP National Office today that the prompt action of Walter White, Executive Secretary, in urg- ing Lieutenant-Governor Fielding Wright to use his powers to avoid threatened lynchings during the re- cent episode in Smith County, Mis- sissippi, had undoubtedly saved many lives. A reliabel source on the scene stated, "He saved the lives of innocent Negroes who no doubt would have been slaught- cred wholesale"
 According to the same source it was disclosed that the situation grew out of a feud among the whites due to labor conditions. Since then it has been fairly we'll established that the Negroes nev- CT fired on either a car or upon the law enforcement officers as charged. Significantly, several Mis- sissippi white men have been ar rested in this connection recently.

Veterans Asked To Register Mail

In view of the large number of veterans terminal pay applications now being received in the mails here, and because of the fact that many applications are being ac- companied by records of import ance, Postmaster Patrick J. Con- nelly has urged that veterans use the postal registry service to pro vide maximum protection, through issuance of a receipt on mailing and the fact that the postoffice se- cures a receipt for registered mail on delivery.
 While applications must be sent by tirst-class mail, the postmaster said, it is wiser to make use of the registry service and it is be- ing observed that thousands are availing themselves of it. The staff of postal clerks at the local post office has been increased to acom- modate veterans desiring to reg ister their applications and accom- panying papers.

Let's see the aldermen, senators, repre- sentatives and other office hold CTS play around with these prob lems awhile. Your reporters only interest in politics is what either party can do to improve the sec ton that he lives in first, and then what it can do to ease the taxpayers of their burden by cut ting down on unnecessary expense of governing the city. Speaking as young Negro interested only in community benefit, we offer this advice to all voters: Do not align yourselves to any party; rather form a group and work for the party that will help your com munity first.

CITIZENS PLAN HOUSING RELIEF

The Greater Hartford Citizens Housing Committee has decided to concentrate for the time being on conversion of existing dwellings as the most immediate possibility for relieving, although only tenn porarily, the acute shortage of homes which is expected to become worst as the summer ends.
 Dick Stimson, chairman of the committee, announced following a meeting of the steering commit tee that information as to the number of potential apartments that exist in unused third floor space and the obstacles in the way of conversions will be gathered prior to the home cam paign which the committee plans to launch.
 The committee was formed in order to focus attention of the community on housing needs. A meeting in Bushnell Hall on June 20 of individuals and organizations representatives elected a steering committee composed of veterans and other citizens concerned with the problem of housing. The com mittee will continue as long as the housing prices exists and pub lice meetings will be held period ically to explain progress made and discuss future plans.

Hartford AW In Action
By Irving Jones

Of course we'll conform to con- vention and say AND American Youth for Democracy is an inter racial, inter-denominatio pro- gressive- youth group that realize the much talked about 'problems,' foreign and domestic, and is at tempting to resolve and find so- lution for our current ills, as they effect our youth.
 Usually an introduction includes name, address and telephone num- Der, but we of AND prefer to be introduced to you by the medium of Al Smiths "let's look at the record" For the summer months we can truthfully say that our AND has acquitted itself as a mili- tant force in behalf of democracy at home and abroad. Our membership worked close ly with the Consumers Council in the last July fight to retain OPA and thus prevent runaway infia- tion. Despite the fact that OPA is back, much of its effectiveness has been retarded by the infamous Wherry amendment and other crippling additions and subtrac- tions from the original bill.
 Realizing the serious implica- tions of the current wave of fas- cism at home and abroad, AND has been in the forefront of ac- ton of protest therein. Using the Monroe, Ga, murders as a case to point, we joined forces with the UEW-CIO and other groups in a | rally of August 2, at Main and Canton Street.
 The recent Niles Bemont- Pond strike was supported in the form of food and leafet distribution. 1 Now Hamilton Propeller is out and again we are giving the work CTS active support in their fight for a decent wage to meet the high cost of living.
 PAC (Political Action Commit tee) did a tremendous job in it's presentation for discussing the Sfacts about the propdsed City Manager government for Hartford. Now they are in the midst of prep aration for activity in the coming gubernatorial and local elections.
 Job determinations in hiring policies must go and to this end the Labor Committee is working. They of necessity realize the tre- mendous power and influence of the forces which they are working against and are planning their strategy accordingly for a success ful campaign.
 All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy realizing this our Social Committee has treated us to fine affair at Lake Terremag- gus. A grand time was had by all with the general consensus being encore. Encore it was, with a social August 2S, at the North End Community Center. Ask those who attended how it was?
 As can be seen, work or play, AND is in the midst of everything. So watch this column for news and views of AND in ACTION, and while you're at it, drop in to our next meeting at the North End Community Center, 1900 Main Street.

 Ninety billion dollars worth of c. I. insurance has been allowed to lapse. A vetran may now se- lect the beneficiary of his own choice. He may have his insur- ance payable in lump sum. He has the choice of three endow- ment forms of contract as well as ordinary life-20 and 30 pay ment life contracts.
 To be brief, the Veterans Ad- ministration is making it very simple for all veterans to keep their national service insurance. The veterans should take advan- tage of this opportunity.

 Bill James of the Herald's eff cient staff is slowly but surely swallowing the bitter pill (to him) of Rocco Pallotti's victory ever the machine in the recent caucus. His reasoning that a stronger and better organized po- litical machine won out seems as good a reason as any. However, viewing the machines loss in the North End, we see it different way. Up here some person, or group, has succeeded in keeping what was once a smooth working machine divided. A lot of the contention among our people stemmed from the fact that the ward chairman was too wrapped up in his own business ventures to recognize the fact that his followers were dissatis- fled. Were certain that had the bigger bosses of the party known about it in time something could have been done to insure more harmonious program prior to the caucus. In the future, the heads of both parties would do we'll to recognize the fact that they can no longer take any one section for granted. Both party ma chimes in this town will have to find a way of offering to each section something that will bene- fit the group as whole. There are too many nationalities to po- 1itically reward any person be cause of his race or color. The North End and the East Side

 This film was the eighth in n series shown to this group each Thursday afternoon. The average of 50 youngsters who heard the talks and saw the films each week were receptive to the program both mentally and physically. As re- suit of this health education pro- gram, most of them changed at least one health habit, as evi- denced by questionnaires which they answered.
