Consider Lasting Qualities
God gave us brains, eyes to see
with. ears to hear with, and
tongues with which to ask ques-
tions. We should use of these
when swapping for food, clothing,
shelter or anything else; or when
swapping these real things for
money which we deposit in a bank.
Everything probably has its use
in moderation; but we should not
worship or become slaves to any
of these things. We must be very
careful not to give money FOR any
habit-forming drink or drug.
When spending or investing mon
ey we should consider the lasting
qualities Of what we buy. The
value of money spent upon un-
necessary drink, food or smokes
has very little duration. This
means that such are very poor in
vestments. The same comment APP
plies to many forms OF entertain.
ment. The value of money spent
for clothes lasts a few months;
the value Of money spent upon an
automobile lasts a few years, but
when money is spent for well-io-

investments and Employment
In conclusion, let me say that
wish labor leaders would give more
thought TO how their membership
spends and invests money. In
creased wages do workers no good
unless spent upon worthwhile
things. Also some OF these wages
should be invested so as to provide
work for other men. II requires
an investment OF about $4,000 to
get the space, machinery and WORK
ing capital necessary to employ
one man. Hence, the Investment
Of money is an important factor
in preventing unemployment. Our
Jobs are safe only as other men
are fully employed. Hence, let us
always invest wisely as well as
save and spend wisely.

The point l want readers TO under

They are OF use only when there
are goods, houses and land for

This means that when there is a

money is cheap II is q good time to

then we should store up goods. To

Continue Violation
OF Supreme
Court Ruling

Richmond, va. \NNIAJ a.
though the United States Supreme
Court has declared invalid state
jim-crow laws requiring the seat
ing of colored passengers IN the
rear of buses in interstate travel,
bus companies operating in the
south continue to attempt to en-
force such race segregation thru
company regulations with the aid
of state courts.
The latest incident involved
Samuel w. Tucker, of Emporia,
Virginia, a 33-year old lawyer and
former Army major, who was
found guilty in Police Court here
November 10 for creating a dis
turbance on a bus by refusing to
move to another seat when order
ed to do so by the bus operator.
His conviction was based on a
provision in the Virginia code
which makes it misdeameanor
for any person to cause any un-
necessary disturbance in a public
conveyance by failing to move to
another seat when lawfully re-
quested to do so by the operator.
Justice Carleton E. Jewett I'M
posed the minimum fine Of S., and
Mr.. Tucker was released on $500
bond when he noted an appeal.
Mr.. Tucker, a veteran OF five
years. service as a Army officer,
boarded railways motor bus in
Washington on a trop to Emporia.
He took a seat fourth from the
front and seventh from the back
and rode in that position from
Washington to Richmond. At the
Richmond terminal some passen-
gers got off but more got on and
write persons occupied all the
seats in front of him and the
seat just behind him.
Roy B. Blaylock, of Cary, North
Carolina, the bus sriver, asked
Tucker to move two seats to the
rear, directing attention to COM
pany regulations which state that
colored passengers shall occupy
seats from the rear and white
passengers from the front.
When Mr.. Tucker declined to
move, Blaylock left the bus, re-
turning later with a policeman
and warrant. Tucker again was
asked to move. When he again
refused to do so, he was arrested.
The warrant charged Mr.. Tuck
er on October % violated Virginia
law by causing "an unnecessary

as special prosecutor at the re-
quest of the Commemorative At
torney, told the court in his OPEN
ing statement that signs are pro-
minently displayed by the bus
company in the Washington term
inal and on the vehicles stating
that the company reserves the
right to change seating arrange
ments and also stating that white
passengers should occupy space

sengers nearest the rear.

LAPS AND MARINES
 COOPERATE

Two-fisted Maury Maverick, re- tiring Chairman of Smaller War Plants Corporation, gave President Truman a very disturbing report on conditions in the Orient last week.
 Maverick told Truman he was particularly distressed about the morale of American forces in China, where they are increasingly embittered at Chiang Kai-shek The GI's, Maverick reported, are boiling mad over the way Chiang has insisted on retaining 10000 armed Japanese to help put dowo rival Chinese factions.
 When Maverick landed at the Peiping airport, he told Truman that he found 1000 Marines on one side of the field and 600 armed Japanese on the other. The Amer ican boys, many of whose buddies died fighting the Japs, were out ragged over the fact that they had to cooperate with their enemies all for the sake of Chiang Kali shek. Maverick went so far as to warn that there might be instances of Chinese killing American troops because of our now being on the same side as the Japs.
 Maverick also reported to Iru- man that American businessmen were suffering economic Setbacks in China despite cur help to the Chinese Government. He said that while the Chinese kept American businessmen at arms length, the British and Russians were already on their way to resuming large scale trade
 The Russians have already signed a secret trade agreement with the Chinese which gives them far greater trade opportunities than American business.
 At the end of Mavericks gloomy report, the President explained that he was not favoring the Chiang Kai-shek Government, but that he did very much favor peace in China. He said he was aware of the dangers in China, but didn't see what could be done about it until peace was finally worked out.
 Note-Since then it looks as if General Marshall finally had work ed out the long-desired goal of Chinese peace. State Department ex- perts are very much hoping the peace will be more than tempor- ary lull.
