DAVIS RECOMMENDS
JAMES J. FITZGERALD
Omaha Guide Publishing Co.
2418 Grant Street
Omaha, Nebraska

Gentlemen:
I consider it a service and duty
to the people of the community
to offer a recommendation in be-
half Of James j. Fitzgerald. De
m0cratic candidate for County
Attorney.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is thirty-eight
years of age, married, and has
been ~practicing law since 1882.
He served seven years as Deputy
County Attorney under James T.
English, and shortly after he left
that office, entered into the mill
tary service. He served for four
years as a member of the Army
Air Force and was released from
the service about the first of this
year. He was born in Omaha and
has lived here all of his life. Dur
ing the time he was a member
Of the County Attorneys office.
he tried many cases, both civil
and criminal, and demonstrated
his ability to handle the affairs
of the office.
1t is my opinion that he will
if elected, conduct the office in a
fair and impartial manner and
to the credit of people of Douglas
County. I know he will make a
good public servant and will be
a credit to the office. I recommend
most sincerely, for your considera-
ton. james J. Fitzgerald for
County Attorney and, solicit for
him your most aggressive support

Omahans who have long turned
their noses up at the city's dusty,
creaking auditorium will have a
chance to do something about il
at the November 5 election.
E. F. Gene Agee, general
chairman of the City-Wide I'M
provement Plan today pointed out
that a bond issue Of So. $40. 900 for
a big and modern auditorium is
a leading issue among the IA i'm
provement projects to be voted
upon.
Objective Of the. improvement
program is to develop Omaha into
one of the nations progressive CT
ties.
The City : Wide Improvement
Plan committee recommended that
the new auditorium should be an
all-purpose building" said Mr..
Agee. 1T should be air condition
ed and there must be ample park
ing space available for use not
only while the auditorium itself
is in use but for public parking
day or light, which would make it
possible to secure additional re-
venue.
Mr.. Agee said that the COM
mittee believes that a properly
operated auditorium not only
would pay all of its operating ex-
Denses but it also would produce
a sufficient surplus to take care
of improvements and upkeep.
The proposed civic center, rough
ly governing the area between the
post office building and the JOS
Ign Memorial, has been deemed
the logical site for a new auditor
ium.
Voters must also decide by spe-
cial ballot if they wish to have the
proposed auditorium governed by
a non-partisan commission to SUI
pervise the carrying out of the
project.
A second Improvement project
to be put to vote is the proposed
construction of an S185, 900 naval
armory.
The proposal developed follow
ing an announcement of the navy
plan to train in this area a re-
serve force adequate to man one
ship.
It is expected that the naval re-
serve will produce for Omaha an
annual payroll of from $250,0O0 to
100000, representing the pay for
permanent naval officers in charge
and the salaries Of an estimated
1000 local participants.
Mr.. Agee declared that the type
of structure required to serve the
navy will be SO designed and con-
structed as to include a drill hall
and gymnasium, shops, school
rooms, movie projection room, Of
fices, and lockers and gunnery
facilities.

WALTER WHITE TO
WRITE COLUMN
FOR DAILY PAPER

A first" in the history of news
paper publishing in the United
States was achieved with the mi
tial publication this month by
mass circulation newspapers of a
weekly column by an American
Negro leader. Walter White, secv.
OF the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie.
Participating in this trail-blaz-
ing event were Representative news
papers with a combined total cir
culation in excess of $500 600
daily. They were the New York
HERALD-TRIBUNE: the Akron
BEACON JOURNAL; the Phila-
delphia EVENING BULLETIN:
the Chicago DAILY NEWS: the
Detroit FREE PRESS; the New
ark STAR-JOURNAL; the Tren-
ton TIMES: and the Mansfield
tOhio) NEWS JOURNAL.
The Walter White column is IN
der consideration by a number Of
other publishers who are awaiting
public reaction in its initial appear
ance. Originally projected as a
thrice-weely commentary on the
news OF the day with especial en-
phasis on the field Of race rela-
tlons, the newsprint shortage,
which has caused many newspa-
pers to throw out advertising and
severity c~urtailed the amount of
space they were able to devote
TO features, has made necessary
the change to once-a-week.
In the current column. White
writes on "The Negro Vote. and
sees no perceptible drift back to
the COP. He concludes that the
present temper of Negro voters is
to ignore party labels completely
and to vote independly on the re-
cords of the candidates.

Says Russians
Kept Ignorant
GBy The Associated PressD

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee, in an adj
dress today to the representatives
of the 100000 members. of the
trades union in Great Britain, de
clared that the Soviet govern
ment is keeping its people behind
a wall of ignorance and suS-
piciOn.
He asserted that the Russian
people are unaware of anything
that is going on in the world out
side of Russia. The controlled
Russian press, he added, pub
fishes fantastic stories about
events or supposed events in for
eign countries, all of it design
ed to keep the Russian people In
the dark.
They are not only denied the
freedom of speech, he added, but
also the freedom of thought, be-
cause their thoughts about what
is transporting in the remainder OF
the world are thrOttled.
The Soviet press, he concluded
under the direction of the Rus
sion leaders, gives purported &C
counts of what happens IN the
rest of the world that are as TAI
lacious as lurid dreams.

Police Radio Plan
Further Attacked

Criticism by a city official Of
the proposed $4,000 expenditure
for radio-equipping police cars in
Mondays Citizen was followed
today by further comment.
The same official told Citizen
reporter that the city is contem-
plating placing six radios on cars,
three for the police department
and three for the fire depart
ment.
Nov, here is the CATCH" the
official said. "All of these cars
are placed near City Hall so the
individual who is at the police
desk will get the call over the
radio and will then contact by
radio either of the six radio cars,
all of which are within a hundred
feet of him. Or else he could for
get the radio, step outside the
door and give the message as he
has been doing in the past.
Il don't know who gains by
this move, but l do know that
four people who would have
made an honest, decent living
are deprived of doing SO, and the
taxpayers will be out $4,000"
