John P. Davis, publisher of the
magazine, last Saturday made pub
lie letters written to him by both
Governor Dewey and Senator
Mead. Governor Dewey wrote
Mr.. Davis as follows:
"The need of providing better
housing for New York Negroes is
manifest to any sane person, man.
ifest upon the grounds of plain
humanity and decency. Moreover,
unsanitary conditions in any Sec

of necessity the concern OF the
entire community.
at is an unhappy fact that In
spite of the best endeavOrs OF
men and women Of good will,
racial tensions of suspicion and
misunderstanding still prevail in
our big cities. The Republican
Administration of New York State
blazed a new trail when it en-
acted the law against discrimina-
ton in employment. No person
in our State can now refuse
lob because of race, color or orr
gin. The law, as you doubtless
know, is working smoothly and
effectively. 1t has, accordingly,
removed one of the most immedi-
ate causes of racial tension.
However, the overcrowded, un-
healthy, revolving conditions in
which too many Negro citizens
and their families have to live
still remains as a social and econ

day will come when it will be
possible to rebuild Harlem, wheth-

In his letter to Mr.. Davis, Sem

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
Few of us realize the great ben
efits the coming generation will
reap from the federal and state
co-operated school lunch program.
A balanced hot lunch at midday
is producing alert students in the
afternoon. For some children, this
is the only nutritious meal. It is
reported that the undernourished
children are not all found in the
homes of the poor, but rather in
the so-called better class hines
where the young are allowed to-
develop improper eating habits.
Not so long ago, it was common
to see a 'slunch" bucket containing
a cold biscuit, a baked potato, a
hunk Of fat back, and a bottle of
syrup. The lunch Of today is built
around a glass of milk, lean meat,
vegetables, bread and butter. It is
possible to walk in the classrooms
of the state and pick out those
serving a hot lunch by observing
the pupils. Balanced diets turn ashy
gray, dull, sleepy youngsters into
sleek, shiney, active, yide-awake
scholars.
Mississippi has been allotted over
two million dollars which will be
increased by the states contrib
ution of one million oprovide the
lunches for 100000 children. The
program is handicapped this year
by the void increase in prices,
causing many schools to find it
difficult to furnish the lunch at
a price in reach of the student.
This is particularly true of the
rural child in/ Fhe cotton areas,
following the present cotton crop
failure. the worst in twenty

which young children are brought
up in surroundings that constitute
the spawning grounds of Juvenile
delinquency. These men are, in
great way, responsible for the
increase in crime among the
young boys and girls of our ma
ton.
81 heartily agree with your en-
deavor to supplant the Harlem
slums with homes that will be not
only physically healthy but So
cially clean as well. This prob
lem of adequate heousing has al
ways been close to my heart, and
shall do everything in my pow
er to further the projects OF
slum clearance SO that the young
people Of the nation and their
parents may live in conditions
suitable to the America that
sands for the right of all peo-
pies to the pursuit Of happiness.

Congress On Poll
Tax Issue

Washington, D. c., (NNPA) -
In view of statments about an
"unfettered vote" in Europe, made
by Senator Tom Connally, Demo-

American delegation at the peace
conference, Congress has no al
tentative to the abolition Of the

which American representatives

"But Mcclellan won. And in

beer. While Mrs. Franks back was
turned he scooped money from a
cash drawer. Mrs. Frank, turning.
saw what he had done and ran from
behind the counter and seized him.
In the scuff1e that followed the
man struck her on the head with
the beer bottle. She hung on, but

ing the money over an alley fence

pointed revolver at him and his
son-in-law, Harvey Levy, and said:
All right, open it up and hand it
out, and give me a quart of good
liquor!"
Mr.. Footer opened the cash reg
lister and handed over between $500
and $1,000, he said. He also was
forced to surrender his wallet which
contained personal papers but no
money. The robber then took about
$40 from Mr.. Levy, and stuck the
the bottle of whisky, given him by
Mr.. Footer, under his arm.
He ordered the two men into a
back room. A few seconds after
wards, Mr.. Footer said, he stuck his
head out and was reprimanded by
the holdup man, who said in hurt
tone:
Didn't I tell you to stay in there?"
Mr.. Footer stayed. After few min
utes he ventured another look, saw
the bandit had left, and called police.
He described the holup man as
being about S feet inches tall,
weighing between 1876 and 140
pounds, wearing a brown hat and
suit, black and red plaid shirt, no
tie, and needing a shave.

| Sheriff Watches
| Boys Take Dare,
|Open Jail Door
BY the Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, April g.
AS he passed the cell where three
youths were held in the county Jail,
Sheriff Erwin Kubath said one of
the self-styled brain kids" called to
him.
Hi, sheriff; if we can break out
OF here will you let us go?"
Amused, the sheriff replied:
We've had some pretty tough Gus
toners in that cell, but If you think
you can get out, 60 ahead and try"
With the sheriff looking on, the
boys went to work with a large nail
produced by one and a piece of wood
that came from under the bunk.
The door of the cell was pried loose
and the trio looked solemnly at the
sheriff, whose smile had disappeared
The sheriff sent for deputies and
had the door reinstalled, leaving the
boys still on the inside looking out.
