Students of government say that
the 2.5ll,ljS civilians tas Of Jan
uary. l946D on Federal payrOlls can
he draStically reduced in number.
The l947 budget calls for bll-
lion and a half dollars to finance
the operation OF various govern
ment departments. In 1898 this
figure was just half that-700 mil
lion dollars.
Prime reason for such an in
crease may be found in Federal en-
plUymcnt figures. When the war
ended there were 2.9l5.977 civilians
on Federal payrollS five months
later there were 2.50H.l5S in CON

Everyone agrees that pump

The resolution concerning race
discriminating and segregation
here declared: eve condemn dis
elimination and segregation on the
basis of race, creed or color in
hospitals, medical, professional, and
other schools, medical services, res
turants, churches, public auditor
iums, places of amusement, and
governmental agencies, and we de-
mand that such disturbing evil
dence OF racial arrogance and in
tolerance be eliminated.
Interference by individuals or
groups with the fundamental civil
rights protected from state or fed
eral infringement by the Tilted
States Constitution should be pro-
hibited by statute"
Anotherf resolutino charged that
Senator Bilbo has demonstrated
his unfitness for a seat in the SEN
ate "by his constant preaching OF
the Hitherto doctrine of racial sup
remacy, his admitted membership
in the Klu Klux Khan, his recent
attempts to lncite Mississippians
into attacking Negroes attempting
to exercise their rights to vote"
The resolution continued that it
was an insult to the people of
Washington to have a man as Bilbo
imposed on them as their ex-off-
icio mayor, and demanded his i'm
mediate removal from the chan
manship or the Senate District
Committee.
Robert R. Nathan, chairman of
Washington Chapter Mol, keynot-
ed the opening session of the con-
vention by reviewing the three
broad goals of the AVG - jobs
for all, freedom and world peace.
"Our interests are not those OF
any special group" he emphasized.
'"They are of the entire citizenship
of the United States.
Discrimination in schools, hous-
ing covenants, color limitations on
enlistments in the Army must all

no half way measures in these
fields" re added.

He maintained that the act of
1870 was still in effect and that
the suffrage law of 1867 still ap-
piled.
Green read at length from the
record of the debates of the State
Constitutional Convention of 1901
1902 to support his assertion that
the convention sought to deprive
colored people of the right to
vote.
He sought to have State Tax
Commissioner c.. H. Morrissette
subpoenaed to produce records to
show that the majority of thise
persons deprived of voting
through poll tax assessments were
colored, but the court hel that
since this was only hearing on
a motion to dismiss the suit the
evidence would not be permitted.
Green, in his argument, assert
ed that the poll tax had dis
enfranchised at least $4,000 per-
sons in the Eighth District alone.
Green was assisted in thespres-
entation of his case by Roy Full
cher, Arlington attorney.

Writes to Parents
OF Four Rankin
Soldiers

BRANDON, Miss. Especially -
Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Adams, prom
inent and widely known Negro
family, with four sons now serv-
ing in the armed forces, recently
received commendatory letter
from the Secretary of War.
The letter was as follows:
The Secretary of War
Washington
September 20, 1916
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Adams:
Ny attention has been called to
the fact that you have four sons
who have entered our armed
forces, and | have asked that
their names be furnished to me
from the files of the War Depart
ment where they appear as HUI
bert Adams, Ivan l.. Adams, Lock
w. Adams and t. A. Adams, all
of the Army.
l can realize the pride which
you feel in these fine young men.
For my own part, | should like
to assure you Of the deep appre-
citation of the nation which has
accepted their service with graft
tude and a strong sense of respon-
sibility. In recent anxious months
when all our resources were dir
ected to victory over our enemies
you have given yours in abun-
dance. | am sure it is source
of deep satisfaction to you, as it
is to me, that these boys have
played so great a part in the
restoration Of peace to a troubled
world.

See No World
Freedom Without
Freedom Of Africa

New York, N. Y. - (NNPA)-
There will be no world freedom
and no democracy on a world
scale until ''the African peoples
stand on their own feet in the
council of nations,' Rogers N.
Baldwin, director of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, de.
clared last Friday night.
Speaking at the opening ses-
sion of a three-day conference of
the African Academy of Arts and
Research at the Willkie Memoir
fal Building, Mr.. Baldwin said
that he considered Africa to be a
continent ruled by imperialism
at it's worst"
Mr.. Baldwin placed hope in the
Labor-Socialist government of
Grea BRIAN and prediced hat he
rest of Europe would soon grant
a larger measure of autonomy to
the African peoples.
He said that this country, with
no African interests save the SEN
mental association with Liberia"
can be counted on ITO help adj
vance the claims of the darker
peoples throughout the United
Naions, especially when they are
not our own darker peoples.
He added that Russia can be
counted on ''to point the accus-
ing finger at u.s."

Stage Riot

Spokane - A small group of
Soldiers based at camp for Negro
Aviation Engineers seven miles
from Spokane, early Saturday, raj
ded the camp arms room, fired
several shots harmlessly and fled
into the hills before returning to
surrender their arms, Geiger Field
officials reported.

Col. Eric Dougan, Commanding
Officer, said Investigations show
ed that not more than 20 to %
soldiers participated in the riot.
First reports Indicated several
hundred were involved, he said.
There were no injuries or prop
erty damages.
Colonel Dougan said the fracas
apparently started when in a Spo-
kane cafe four soldiers were arrest
ed after a group disarmed military
polive.

Dismiss Suit to
Stop Collection Of
Virginia Poll Tax

RICHMOND, Va. (NNPA) - A
suit filed by Lawrence H. Michael,
Republican candidate for Con-
gress, to enjoin the collection of
the Virginia poll tax in the Eighth
District, was dismissed here last
Monday by Federal District Judge
Sterling Hutchinson.
The order to sustain the motion
for dismissal was returned by
Judge Hutcheson after lengthy
hearing. After the announcement,
John Loche Greene, attorney for
Michael, candidate from the Eighth
Virginia District, filed notice of
his intention to appeal the deci-
sion.
Respondents in the suit included
Governor Tuck, Attorney General
A. P. Staples and the commission
ers and treasurers of the fifteen
counties and cities in the Eighth
District. Neither the Governor
nor the Attorney General appear
ed in court, but were represented
by Walter Rogers, of the Attorney
Generals office.
The State sought dismissal of
the suit on the grounds that the
district court lacked the authority
to nullify poll tav provision in
the State Constitution and that
the suit was one which would en-
join the collection of State reve-
nue..
Green's arguments, build in a
large part around the records of
the State Constitutional. Conven-
ton of 1901-1902, showed, he con-
tended, that the poll tav as a pre-
resuisite to voting was unconsti-
tutional and that its primary pur-
pose was aimed at. DISTINGUISHING
colored people.
In sustaining the motion for
dismissal, Judge Hutcheson re-
marked that as he saw it, the
primary question in the matter
was "the validity of the payment
of the poll tax as a prerequisite
Of the right to vote"
The judge cited several cases
as precedents in the Michael case
and said that a previous decision
of the United States Supreme
Court held that imposition of the
poll tax does not deny the con-
stitutional provision of the right
to vote.
In his argument before the
court, Green asserted that the pur-
pose of the Virginia Constitu-
tional Convention of 1901-1902
was ito violate" a previous pact
between the State of Virginia and
the Federal Government and "to
violate and abrogate the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution"
The Arlington County Treasurer
and Republican leader stated that
as result of the Civil War when
Congress passed an act in 1870 to
allow the State to elect represen-
tatives to Congress it was done
under a provision of 1867 which
held that the States shall never
deprive any citizen or class of
citizen of the right to vote except
IS punishment for a felony.
