On Friday evening, September 20, a group of high school girls one of whom was colored, attend ed the Hartford Skating Palace on N. Main Street, accompanied by one of their teachers.
 Upon arrival, the girls made application for skates. The white girls were able to procure "shoe skates" whereas the lone colored girl was told that there were no more of this type of skate left and was offered the 'clamp skates'' which she refused.
 She reported this to her teacher and the teacher was also told that there were no more shoe skates to be had.
 Further observation, however, showed that others in the same party as well as others not in the party who came after the colored girl, did secure "shoe skates"

Mrs. c. J. Matthews of S4 Mather St. and her sister, Mrs. s. J. Hill, were victims of an un- warranted assault by Harold Mo- Nicholas of 55 East St., a mar row-minded exponent of "whites first"
 The two were attempting to board an Albany Ave. bus when they were restrained by the bel ligerent white so called man who let eight white women file in be- fore them and then brushed them aside to step in himself.
 When Mrs. Hill attempted to enter the bus he struck her with his fist. During an exchange of words, McNicholas turned on Mrs. Matthews and kicked her in the upper region of her thighs, bruises which, according to Dr. Allen F. Jackson, may prove se- rious.
 During the entire affair the Conn. Go. bus driver did nothing to protect his passengers. When the bus reached the tunnel he

Prompt NAAP Action Alerts N. (. Governor To Lynch Threat

Vigilance and prompt action or
 the part of the NAAICP and the
 North Carolina police on Septem.
 Der 17th saved the life of a Ne
 gro veteran accused of having
 assaulted a white man, after
 words had passed between them
 on lonely road. It is alleged
 that the white man was knocked
 down by the veteran whom he cursed, and that the man walked off and later died in a hospital. Medical reports indicate that the real cause of his death was a heart condition - but word spread quickly of murder" throughout the white community of Sylva and Waynesville. Two white men followed the bus taken by the Negro after the alterca- tion and, at it's first stop, tried to get him. The police of Sylva had been alerted, however, and they, too, followed the bus in their squad car. At the bus stop, the police stepped in ahead of the other two pursuers, arrested the Negro and placed him in jail in Sylva. There, a lynch mob of about $50 persons from the ru- ral and country areas tried to get the prisoner and Etake care of him." He was then transferred for safekeeping to Waynesville.
 Heading radio report that the mob, which had dispersed over night, had returned and was storming the Waynesville jail, the NAACP wired Gov. R. Gregg Cherry to intervene if he had not already done so,. to prevent 3 lynching. The Governor i'm wired Walter White, Secretary, that there had been no 7iolence and the prisoner was 'afely in jaid. This assurance, contradicted radio and 'n-the-spot reports.
 The prisoner is now in jail in Asheville.

Hartford Postal Alliance Seeks New Members

A little over year ago through the efforts of John Dowden of Cleveland, Ohio, and a former resi-
 dent of Hartford, the Hartford Branch of the National Associa- tion of Postal Employees was or ganized. The object of this Ali ance is to "provide closer social relationship among Postal employ ees; to enable them to perfect any movement that will be for their benefit as a class, or for the bene- fit of the Postal Service. Any regu- lar employee or certified substitute of the Post Office Department un- der Civil Service rules and regu- lations, shall be eligible to mem bership."
 This organization is national in scope owning and maintaining of fees in Washington, D. c. It pub fishes monthly an official paper "The Postal Alliance" It is divid- ed into ten districts, taking in the whole of the United States.
 Some years back, Negroes were prevented from appointments to the Railway Mail Service, even though they took and passed Civil Service examination for the same. To break down this barrier, the organization was started. WE ARE IN THAT BRANCH OF THE SERVICE TODAY. The or ganization has been responsible for the upgrading of Negroes to responsible positions in the Postal Service and for checking evidences of prejudice and for keeping Ne groes informed as to examinations and any kind of information per tinent to the improvement of the Negroes in the Postal Service.
 All persons employed in the | Hartford Post Office are invited to become members of this organiza- ton. We may not need the organ ization immediately but with vet erans returning, one never knows when the need for an organized body may be urgent.
 For self protection, join the Hartford Branch, National Ali

registration will be accepted from 8:30 am. to 4:3O pm. and 5 to g pm. and on Saturdays from 9 to 12.
 Special courses will be organ ized where there is a demand by 10 or more persons.
 Here in a civilized part of the country with such an opportunity offered it is hard to believe that our youth are failing to take ad- vantage of it. Perhaps and ex- change of plan with some of the Mississippi students for a few months would prove to the street corner gangs that are misguided, the advantages that they are let ting go by.
 Rhode Island was represented in the Foot Guard parade Saturday by Negro group of state militia. Many of our young Negroes would like to become a part of the local branch of the National Guard, but have been discouraged by narrow minds when they sought admit tance.

Race Covenants
 Branded Illegal

Los Angeles (Pacifc Press Syn dicate) - Attorney General Rob- ert w. Kenny last week filed a brief in the California supreme court urging that body to forbid state court, enforcement of race restrictive covenants on the ground that such enforcement is violative of the fourteenth amend ment of the U. s. Constitution.
 Clarence A. Linn, assistant at torney general, and D. O. McGov- ney, law professor at the Univers- ity of California and Kenny's spe- cial advisor, also signed the brief with Kenny.
 The brief was filed in the famed Sugar Hill cases which are set for argument when the state supreme court meets here on October 2.
 Involved in the cases in which the brief was presented is the real property lying between Adams and Washington boulevards and be- tween LaSa1le Street and Western Avenue.
 Among occupants of homes in that area and involved in the cases are actresses Hattie Mcdaniel, Louise Beavers, and Ethel Waters and other well known business and professional persons.
 The case was tried before Judge Thurmond Clarke last December. He refused to enforce the agree ment on the ground that enforce ment of race restrictive agree ments by a state court would vio- late constitutional guarantees. The plaintiffs in the case filed the ap- peal.

 The driver was guilty of lack ing the decency of any normal fair-minded man in similar si- tuation. All three were sum- nloned to court, where they plead ed not guilty to disturbing the peace.

'Schwellenbacfl Pledges To
 Abolish Bias

Hedging that his Departmen would put an end to the segre gated office set-up in the USES office in Washington as quickly
 as possible, Secretary of Labor
 Lewis B. Schwellenbach said nc
 possible defense could be offered
 for the practice, since we hays
 just finished fighting wal
 against discrimination. His as-
 surances that plans were being
 made to eliminate jim-crowism in the D. c. employment offices was given to the representatives of ten organizations called together by the Secretary following numer- ous requests for such a confer ence addressed to him by prom inent persons and organizations urged to action by NAACP La bor Secretary, Clarence B. Mitchell.
 MT. Schwellenbach said that while he was opposed to the pro- gram of segregation in state of fees, he could not give a commit ment at this time on whether or not the proposals of the organi- zations would be made a part of the minimum standards of opera tion, since the Department of Labor's effort to have adequate policing powers included in it's legislation was not successful in Congress. The Departments s only method of applying pres sure would be to withdraw it's funds. Several persons at the conference thought this would be a most potent sanction against discriminatory practices, but the Secretary said this action has many complications.
 A six point recommendation, formulated by the Community Service Division, American Coun- cil on Race Relations, and pre- sented by Robert c. Weaver, Dl- rector, stated the Councils op- position to perpetuat1on or Segre- gated USES offices and urged inn mediate abolition of all forms of segregation in the District of Co., lumbia USES. that a govern mental agency financed by the Federal Government condone dis by refusing to accept discriminatory orders; refuse to further serve an employer who refuses qualified referral solely because of race, creed, color, or national origin; that full utiliza- ;ion of minority groups be made n local employment and training programs serviced by the agency; hat there be assigned adequate 1 qualified personnel to see that policies designed to prevent dis are followed in local offices; that all persons have ,qual opportunity for employ nent on the staff of the agency.
 Present at the conference were from IS organiza- ions.
