PEOPLE DO LEARN EVENTUALLY

New York old pocket book con game, despite years of practice, works in so many in stances that when it hits a snag, it really makes news.
 A few days ago a Miss Nancy Jordan was on her way to work when a strange man accosted her with an offer of a job at forty dollars a week. Miss Jor- dan told him she was not inter ested because her present occu- patton was paying her more. But very suddenly the same man attracted her attention to an individual who was in the act of picking up a pocket-book.
 Says this wise fellow, Did you see him pick that purse up? You know we can make him split with us if there is anything in that bag" And surely enough when they approached the indi- vidual the purse was loaded ]!
 The suggestion was made they go to the Post-Office for change but enroute the con men changed their minds and recom- mended another location. But what these gentlemen had no way of telling was that Miss Jordan had met a similar crew in Detroit a year ago and had fallen flat for their ideas.
 So the first policeman that she sighted she screamed "Police !! help!" All ow which ended in one of the con men being ar rested and now residing in the "cooler".

MRS. PAUL ROBSON SPEAKS AT TOWN HALL

New York-Mrs. Paul Robe son, who has recently returned from a tour of Africa, started her nationwide speaking tour from Town Hall Monday after noon, November 11th.
 Mrs. Robeson expressed grati- fcation at the advancement that she found had been made by Africans in the last ten years. She made it clear that Africans are very much aware of the things that happen in America, as far as Negroes are concerned. That the names of Bilbo and Rankin are familiar, as we'll as their racial attitudes. She found that they were also conscious of the fact that the Soviet Union had eliminated racial barriers and are fighting for colonial freedom.
 During her stay in Africa, Mrs. Robeson gathered material for a movie scenario on the life of Feliv Eboue who was leader of Equatorial French Africa un- til his death. She expects that her husband, Paul Robeson, will will play the title role in this picture.

ARMY HAS HIGHER TESTS FOR NEGROES

Washington - The Secretary of War has recently admitted that the Army admittance re- quirements for Negro recruits is higher than those asked of white recruits.
 When asked for an explana- tion of this differential Sec'y Patterson merely explained that inasmuch as Army policy re- quired that Negro enlistments not exceed their population Ia tio that it was felt that this was not discrimination.
 The explanation came only as the result of the NAACP press ing the Secretary of War as to why Negro recruits were sub jected to much more rigid exam nations than any other Ameri- cans. For instance the Negro applicant must make at least 39% on the literacy test while the white recruit can be accept ed with only 15%.
 MT. Patterson statement in full on this matter was, "The acceptance of a Negro-white ra- to that existing in the civilian tio within the Army comparable population is not considered dis criminatory, and therefore any regulations which are designed to acheive that objective should not be considered in themselves discriminatory"

NEGRO, WHITE RECEIVE HOEY AWARDS

New York, - Establishment of inter-racial justice ''has be- come Americas No. 1 job,' Charles l.. Rawlings, Negro re- cipient of the fifth annual J. J. Hoey award, declared here after presentation of the award by the Catholic Interracial Council.
 Richard Reid, native of Geor- gia and editor of The Catholic News, also received the Hoey silver medal award, which is given ''to a white. and Negro Catholic layman who made the most outstanding contribution to the cause of interracial just ice during the year."
 During presentation cere- monies at the Carroll Club, Charles A. Birmingham, presi- dent of the Council, presented the awards, which were estab- lished by the sisters of the late James J. Hoey, one of the founders and first president of the Council.
 MT. Rawlings, who is presi- dent of the Catholic Interracial Council in Detroit, where he is employed as a letter-carrier, said, Tt is imperative for all racial, as we'll as national groups to work together in the fullest spirit of cooperation, and soon, most, of the barriers to interracial justice will be lifted"

DOMINICAN SHOT BY FLORIDA COP
 REPUBLIC PROTESTS

Bunnell, Fla.-Jose Trujillo Seijas, nephew of the president of the Republic Dominica, will never return home from the war and the reason is that after serv- ing America for two years in the Army, he made the mistake of stopping off in Florida to get a meal.
 The proprietor of the restaur- ant thought he was an American Negro and resented his temerity in wanting to eat at his estab- Hshment and called the deputy sheriff.
 The deputy sheriff claims that Seijas drew pistol and though warned twice to put it away, refused to do so and therefore he, the sheriff shot him dead.
 This unfortunate incident has set in motion an international incident for the Dominican con- sul was immediately dispatched to Florida to make an on the spot investigation.
 A coroner jury has already exonerated Sheriff Miller Tee ter as having killed Seijas in self defense.

BILBO REPORTED SERIOUSLY ILL

Jackson, Miss.-Reports com ing out of Mississippi allege that Senator Bilbo who has been suf- fering from some unknown mouth and throat ailment is not mending as rapidly as surgeons had hoped.
 Over a month ago Senator Bilbo was operated on in New Orleans at the Touro Infrmary. It is likewise reported that the Senator was asked for permis- sion to make the operation much more extensive to clear up other difficulties but refused the permission.
 The Senator is still suffer ing from a speech impeachment and therefore can only be inter viewed through his secretary.
