riers which have been erected bY
Bilbo and others who build their
power on the White supremacy
program.
There are thousands of white
citizens in Missippi who are as
fine as any people anywhere. MIR
Green declared, and the Mississ-
ippi campaign to unseat Bilbo Ger
tainly had a bearing on the narrow
margin with which Bilbo was r
nominated.
Mr.. Green made it clear that
the movement to bar Bilbo from
public office is a Mississippi move
ment supported by the 1R5a,0O0
Negroes and the many liberal
white people of the state He add
ed, however, that the Negroes in
Mississippi face a problem which
involves not only the Negroes and
Mississippi but the whole nation
and the relations Of the Emitted
States with other nations
For that reason, he said Mississ-
ippians have welcomed the help
given the unseat-BilbD campaign
by the Civil Rights Congress-, that
assigned a staff of attorneys and
Investigators to help the people OF
that State in formulating the Pc
tition and gathering signatures for
a petition which was filed with the
Senate Committee on Campaign
Expenditures and the Committee
on Privileges and Elections this
week.
The Civil Rights Congress. which
has been giving publicity and ad-
vice in the campaign to unseat
Bilbo, will hold a dinner at the
Hotel Pennsylvania on October liz
to focus attention on the issues
involved. The organization expects
that a larger and broader coordin-
ated national compaign against
Bilbo will develop out of this func-
ton.
The fifteen million Negroes in
the United States are not a threat
to the other one hundred twenty
five million people in this country,
Mr. Green said. The Negroes should
be given all their legal rights as
Americans now, and the whole ma
ton will be the better fer it wher
that is done. Our democratic sy
stem itself, he pointed out, is il
danger as long as some of the peo-
pie are free and the rest are de
MED the privileges of full citizen
ship.
To a question whether his life
was in danger in the South be
cause of the liberal stand his new,
paper has taken and because N.

tition to unseat Biibo, MFR. Greer
declared Il don't think nay life 4
in danger because L don't thin
that way.
Il was born in Jackson and
like it there. 1 don't think all tn,
people of the South should star
for the North. The Negro peopl,
who are there were born there
and they like it, and they ought
to be able to remain there witt

MUTUAL AID
By Philippe Duke Schuyler,
gifted young composer and
pianist
Edited By Verna p. Harris

Members of other minority
groups have been SO exceptionally
kind and helpful to me that I doubt
if I could have done the things
have without their encouragement
and aid. If HEIDI Katz. a violinist
and teacher, had not sent me to
see Mother Stevens Of the Convent
of the Sacred Heart when I was
five, I would never have had the
fine early training in Gregorian
Chant that 1 had, nor met the won
derful Catholic nuns of Manhattan
vile. If Chotszinoff. then music
critic of the New York Post, had
not praised my original compost
tons at the same age, my parents
might not have had the same con-
fidence in them.
If Rebecca Davidson, piona teach
er, and Pauline Apanowitz, piano
teacher. had not taught me when
I was seven and eight, I might
have done far less well. If Rudolph
CAM had not been simply wonder
full to me for years at the Phil
harmonic Young Peoples Concerts
then given his valuable time to
listen to my first orchestral work,
and then played it for the first
time at Carnegi Hall when lesser
men than he refused even to look
at it and when Mr.. CAM played
my piece later in San Francisco,
Chicago and Grand Rapids. and
more than this. took the time to
write to me and phone me regard
ing my work, how could l ever
harbor anything exceut the highest
regard and deepest appreciation
for people of his faith?
How could I have played in Bos-
ton Of at the N. Y. Stadium this
var without the help of Herman
Wasserman, my piano teacher, or
Arthur Fielder. conductor of the
Boston Pops under whom I made
my debut with the symphony or
chestra as soloist? Well really, not
only would my life be much less
without the help of these fine peo-
pie, but America would be far
pooer without them. I think a coun-
try's greatest asset lies in its peo-
pie, their quality and intelligence,
and when I visualize America with
out the Jew who has hepled to give
it wit and charm and music, well,
I think we'd be just another Au-
stralia.. "a country without glamor
or b%rilliance.

in Walton County, Ga, and the

The plight of the defendants anc
counsel in the prejudice-ridder

Mississippi Editor Charges
Renominated
trough Fraud
And Intimidation

New York, N. Y.-Percy
Green, editor of "The Jack

here today that Sen. Theo-
dore G.. Bilbo was renomina-
ted to the Senate on July 2
through fraud, intimidation
and terror.
The Negroes Of Mississippi live
under the shadow Of fear, Mr..
Green said at a press conference in
the offices of the Civil Rights Con-
gress, and throughout his primary
campaign Senator Bilbo stirred the
passions and inflamed the preju-
dices of the white people of the
State.
Among the incidents which mar
ked the election, according to Mr..
Green. was one in which a veter-
an who sought to vote in Gulfport
Miss, was beaten unconscious by
election officials and arrested by
the local police. At Louisville, Miss
a Negro voter who appeared at the
polls was told:
WED rather you did not vote.
If you do, we'll e you about that
tonight.
Senator Bilbo was renominated
by a slim majority of $500 votes,
Mr.. Green said. This majority
could have been upset without any
trouble at all if the 100000 eligi-
BILE Negro citizens had been free
to register and vote, he pointed
out. Actually only from 5000 to

40 Year Natural
Gas Supply
Assured Omaha

Known natural gas reserves ano
future discoveries will assure ON
aha of a sufficient supply for al
least 40 years, should the people
vote for a changeover to full ma
tural gas from the present sy-
stem of 600 B. t. u.
That was the opinion voiced by
Charles r. Bellamy, one of the ma
tons most foremost gas engin-
GERS, in answer to questions by
board members of the Metropolis
tan Utilities District. Bellamy ur-
ged in a formal report that Omaha
be converted to straight 100 per
cent natural gas service as the
most practicable and economical
method of meeting the city's ra-
pidly increasing and urgent gas de-
mands.
But the most fortunate thing
about the situation is this, Bella
my continued: In the past IL
years discoveries have exceeded
consumption so that are
stronger today than they were II
years ago. He added that by the
time Omaha could install full ma
tural gas service (summer of 1910
there would be double or 'louped'
lines practically all the way from
natural gas fields to here. provid-
ing double protection from any
breaks.
Bellamy also emphasized that
Omaha is fortunate in being the
first Big customer" on lines run
ming northward and as such would
be first to receive gas from the
line. He pointed out that the main
line running to Omaha could be
stepped up to meet any capacity
needed for the days requirements
in the future.
Questioned about what would
happen to Omaha in case of a
break in the pipeline, Bellamy said
that many cities never know when
there is an interruption because
repair crews maintain constant
vigilance. Meanwhile, he explain
ed the gas in the line itself is suf-

extended period. Fortunately, in
the case Of Omaha, should pipeline
breaks occur, with your large hol-
der capacity your are in an exec
ptionally fine position to weather
such conditions.
Bellamy referred to Omaha's 3
large gas holders maintained at
the Gas Works where a reserve
supply of gas can be stored for
emergencies.
The Gas Engineer cited Omaha's
holder capacity as very great" in
comparison with most gas COM
panies, many Of which operate with
natural gas without any emergen-
cy holder capacity. "You have a
holder capacity, Bellamy said, suf-
ficient to meet almost a peak day
when the chageover to natural
gas is made. 1t will meet normal
days very easily. That is very I'M
usual. most companies have very
little over half that supply.

be that the let down from four
years of intense work is part of
the cause. The unrest and uncer-
tainty of jobs and working con-
ditions that seems to be spread
ing over the entire country, the
change from war production to
peacetime status, financial wor-
ries, all tend to take a persons
mind off their job.

of self protection against the
many pitfalls of every day life.
