Negro Guard
Unit Sought for
Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga. (NNPA) -
Governor Ellis Arnall was asked
last Thursday by C. A. Scott, edi-
tor and general manager of the
Atlanta Daily World, to establish
a colored unit of the Georgia
National Guard as a means of
assuring colored people of secur-
ity in Georgia.
Mr.. Scott wrote Governor Ar
nall that "the cold-clooded and
obviously planned massacre" of
four persons = two men and their
wives near Monroe, Georgia,
July rs, revealed clearly "the pre-
carious positions" in which color
ed persons find themselves in
Georgia.
He added that the crime involv-
ed "the whole idea of law, order
and decency to say nothing about
justice" and the fact that no ar.
rests have yet been made "aggra-
Yates the situation" insofar as
colored people are concerned.
To alleviate a feeling of inse.
curity among the colored people
of Georgia and to cause the mas.
ses Of white people in the State
to realize that the colored people
also have rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, Mr.. Scott suggested
the formation of colored unit Of
the National Guard in Georgia.
Unfortunately, in the past"
he stated, white troops have not
always acted unbiased in inter-
racial conflicts" He referred to
the race riot in Columbia, Ten
nessee, in February, as an in
stance where phite state patrol
men and militia were aggressors.
Mr.. Scott sent a similar letter
to Major Butler B. Miltonberger,
Chief Of the National Guard Bur-
eau, War Department, Washing
ton, d. c., because the federal
government has a responsibility
in this matter"

Community
Ignores Burning of
frey Cross
Shooting Heard in
Second Local
Demonstration

Negro citizens in two widely Sc
parated communities and Negro
citizens generally humorously ig-
nored the senister and evil tradi-
tional significance of thee frey
cross as the third demonstration
took place in and around the city
at about ten o'clock, Saturday mig
hit on creek bank off the lower
end of Booker Street, in the ALL
Negro community Of Washington
Addition in the south western sub
urbs of the city.
The burning of the frey cross
IN Washington Addition in the
south western surburbs, Saturday
night following the burning of the
frey cross Thursday night in the
northeastern section of the city
near the corner of Whitfield Mill
Road ard Woodrow Wilson Drive
where new Negro residential COM
munity promoted by one of the
leading realty companies, of the
city is In process Of development.
Only few days before the first
burning of the frey cross took
place on the campus of Tougaloo
College, Negro Co-educational In
stitution, located seven miles north
of the city limits, in a community
which is rapidly becoming a part
of the city itself.
According to reported rumors,
the burning of the cross in the
two Jackson neighborhoods, were
previously predicted, and come
as a result of increasing activities
of the CLIO to organize Negro worl
in the cotton mills, Fertilizer pla-
inland other Industries here. Sew
eral workers, when asked about
the rumor that the cross was be-
ing burned to keep them from Jio-
ming the Clio, said that was what
it was being done for. 1t looked
dixie the Clio must be the best un.
ion for themto jon for them TO
Join.
In most instances thee people of
the communities were too young
or knew to little of the history
of the reconstruction era in the
state to understand the siguifice
and purpose of the frey cross and
generally took a humorous view
regarding the demonstrations here.

Powell Beaten In
Bid for Republican
Nomination

NEW YORK (NNPA) = The
defeat of Representative Adam C.
Powell, Jr., in the Republican
primary of August 20 is a sign
that colored voters are drifting
away from the Democratic party,
according to Grant Reynolds, for
mer Army captain, who won the
COP nomination.
Two years ago, Mr.. Powell won
the Democratic, Republican and
American Labor party nomina-
tions.
Republican voters in the twenty
second district on August 20 gave
him only 1888 votes to 2,168 for
Reynolds.
Powell was unopposed for the
ALP nomination and easily de-
feated Harold E. Simmelkjaer,

Rankin Calls for
Investigation
Of CI0-PAc
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Ignoring revived activities of
the Ku Klux Khan and mob vio-
lence in the South, Representative
John E. Rankin, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, acting chairman of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee, has decided to delve
into the activities of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations, the
Political Action Committee and
the Justice Department.
The Acting Chairman last Tues
day ordered the investigating staff
of his committee to make a
thorough investigation" of the
CIO-PAC.
Evidence continues to pour in
that this outfit is not only en-
gaging in subversive activities, "
he said, "but that it is operating
in fragrant violation of the anti
lobbying law recently passed by
Congress.
Rankin also accused communist
front organizations and certain
elements" in the Justice Depart
ment of 'sinstigating race trouble
in the South" in an effort to gain
control of election machinery ia
the various states.
An investigation by his commit
tee, he added, would expose the
facts "and drive subversive forces
from American SOIL"
Efforts to get the House I'm
American Activities Committee to
probe into the activities of the
revived Ku Klux Khan so far have
been unavailing. Representative

Senator Carl A. Hatch, OF New

as much as anyone else, but felt
that feledal anti-lynching law
would be "clear violation of the
constitutional rights of states"
Other Senators shared his view.
On the other hand, Senator Den

inadequate" in ending lynching.

GREENWOOD ADOPTS Pc:
TITION OF NEGRO VET.
FIRST NEGRO AMERICAN
LEGION POST AUTHORIZED
FOR MISSISSIPPI; GREEN
WOOD ADOPTS PETITION
OF NEGRO VETERANS

GREENWOOD, Miss. (DSN) -
The first Negro American Legion
Post for Mississippi was author
lied last week when the Green
wood Post of the American Le-
.gion adopted petition submitted
by 165 Negro War Veterans seek
ing to organize a Post here. The
petition was adopted. Leonard
Scrugg a cottman, urged approval
of the petition and said, "The
approval would do away with some
of the stink that Bilbo has stirred
up in the courts" Addressed to
Keesler Hamrick Gillespie of the
American Legion, the petition ask
ed that members give earnest con-
sideration to assist Negro vet
Grams in establishing an American
Legion Post. "Give us the benefit
of your word, knowledge and judg-
ment in matters about common
interest that arise from time to
time," the petition states.
A young member of the Keesler
Hamrick Gillespie Post No. 20, IN
commenting on the petition, said,
@aThese boys are looking for lead
ership and l think we ought to
give it to them"
After stating that approval of
the petition to establish the Negro
Post would do away with some
of the stink that Bilbo has stirred
up, Legionnaire Scrugg said, II
am no Eleanor Roosevelt, but in
my travel around the country ]
see lot of vacant tenant houses
and this seems one of the ways
to do away with some of the
stink that Bilbo has stirred up"
The petition was adopted unan-
imously, but before the first Amer
lean Legion Post can be organized
it must be approved by all the
Legion Posts in the Greenwood
district and the state headquart-
ers.
At its recent State Convention
the American Legion of MISSISSIPPI
pi authorized the formation of the
Negro Post upon the recommended
ton and approval of the Post in
the district where the Negro Post
would be established.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
- The announcement last Sunday
of Senators James M. Mead and
Robert F. Wagner, Democrats, OF
New York, that a bloc of bi-parti-
san senators would seek enactment
of federal anti-lyncning legisla-
ton when the Eightieth Congress

another bitter Senate fight prob
ably ending in filibuster.
Senator Mead said he and eleven
other Senators would press for
passage of a federal anti-lynching

bound to come from southern
Democratic Senators and other adj
vocates of States rights.
"Recent lynchings have added
emphasis to the urgen necessity
of federal anti-lynching bill"

claiming support of eleven other
Senators.
Federal legislation is vital if
the authority and influence of ire
