Clark WiIIAsk
Congress To Pass
!Anti-Lynching Bill

CAMBRIDGE, o. - (NNPA). -
Declaring that he will point out
to Congress when it reconvenes
the need for federal antilynching
legislation, Attorney General Tom
c. Clark called upon every loyal
citizen and law enforcement Of
ficer" to do everything within
their power to prevent recurrence
of mob violence.
Addressing the Homecoming
Picnic" sponsored by the Guern-
sey County and the Cambridge
Chamber of Commerce here last
"a real threatening problem" and
the age of II as "the greatest
crime age" Mr.. Clark Said:
However, I did not intend to
dwell at length upon this phase
of lawlessness. bad as the situa-
ton is.
To-day I call to your attention
another phase of lawlessness cou-
pied with civil disturbances that
violate all orderly legal proceed
ures.
''These outrages, | am sure, you
have read about and reports have
come to me concerning them
from various parts of the coun-
try.
81 am a devout believer in COM
munity government.
THAT is the best government
for it is close to the people.
1T is most satisfactory in this
country.
1T is truly American.
Recently, events have taken
place which we call deplore and
which indicate that in certain com
munities law enforcement is either
unable or unwilling to cope with
those who try to place themselves
above the law.
1--WE cannot countenance actions
in this country which will vitiate
or overthrow constituted legal au.
thority by the use of force.
81 mentioned that recently in
Chicago and it still stands.
Il have called upon and l again
call upon all of our local law en-
forcement agencies to be parti-
cularly alert at this time, to be
active in REFRESHING the slightest
semblance of mob violence and to
invoke swift action in the courts
for redress.
"Those who are guilty must be
punished and punished quickly.
"Some local enforcement Of
ficers have done very we'll in
bringing disorders before grand
jurieS and using other legal means
to repress them.
During the war, and despite
unusual conditions, there has been
a marked increase in securing
protection for many people in the
right to vote.
"This has been done through
the federal courts by due process
of law.

Louis ReadyFor
Sept. Bout With
MaurieIIo

Washington, D. c. (NNPA) -
Joe Louis, the heavyweight cham
pion, who was here last Friday
to make personal appearance
and referee the feature bout of
the amateur boxing show at Grit
fifth, Stadium that night for the
benefit of the Junior Police and
Citizens Corps, appeared not in
the least bothered about his title
fight with Tami Mauriello in Yam
kee Stadiuf September 10.
Louis, nattily dressed in a
brown sport suit, panama hat,
and red and white bow tie, STEP
ped off a plane at the National
Airport here at 1905 pm, last
Friday.
Expecting more trouble from
Mauriello than Billy Conn gave
Kim in their last fight, Joe des-
cribed Mauriello as boxer who
keeps coming in all the time and
said that type of fight is always
dangerous.
Joe squared off with AL Schacht,
the king clown Of baseball, for the
benefit of photographers assem-
bled at the airport. 1t was rain
ing at the time and Schacht car
ried an umbrella to protect him
self and Louise from the rain
while he secured Louis autograph.
Louis broke training at Pomp-
ton Lakes, New Jersey, to come
here for the benefit show, which
was sponsored by the Variety
Club, a white organization, whose
members earn their livelihood from
show business. He anly recently
started training after tour of
the goft tournaments in the mid
die west, including Cleveland, To-
ledo, Detroit and Chicago. He
weighed 213, six pounds more than
the night he knocked out Conn.
At Griffith Stadium Friday
night, Joe was given a tremen-
dous ovation as he entered the
ring after intermission and STAYED
on to work a hilarious "title bout"
with Schacht. Al literally "fell
into his act" Wearing boxing
trunks, Schacht vaulted over the
rope and fell fat on his face, send
ing his boxing gloves, water buck
ct, towel and sponge flying in all
directions.
The end of the feature bout,
which Louis refereed, came with
dramatic suddenness in forty
eight seconds. Louis was ready
to count out Charlie Hatron, a
Golden Gloves champion, when his
seconds interviewed. Habron, daz-
ed from the punch delivered by his
opponent, PIGGY King, was sent
to Emergency Hospital as a pre-
cautlonary measure. Both boys
are white.
There were no mixed bouts on
tie card because the District of
Columbia Amateur Athletic Union
will not sanction mixed bouts, but
as condition precedent to his
coming in Joe demanded that there
be both white and colored bouts
on the card.
Joe left by plane Saturday
morning for New York City from
where he returned to Pompton
Lakes to resume his training.

1862 See East
West AIIState Game
BY GEORGE LYLE, Jr.

Washington, ID. c. (NNPA)
Paced by the no-hit, no-run hurl-
ing of Barney Brown, southpaw
ace of the Philly Stars, the East
took a 6-3 game from the West
in the annual all-star game played
at Griffith Stadium here Thursday
night before 1862.
Browns performance was the
outstanding piece of work in the
game, which saw aces of the Ne
gro American League opposing
their Eastern rivals, the Negro
National League, as he faced only
nine batters in the three innings
that he worked on the mound.
His mates, however, proceeded
to work on Dan Bankhead, fire
ball pitcher from the Memphis
Red Sox who has compiled an
outstanding record in the west,
and two runs were scored in the
opening frame.
Kimbro, of the Elites, was walk
ed. Larry Dolby, Newark rookie,
singled. Easterling of the Grays
singled scoring Kimbro but was
caught in a rundown as he tried
to stretch his hit into a double.
Buck Leonard, Grays' great first
sacker, grounded to Archie Ware
at first, but Dolby scored on the
play. Monty Irwin grounded to
short to end the inning.
Pat Scantlebury, of the Cubans,
who replaced Brown on the mound
in the fourth, ran into trouble
from the first ball pitched and
before he gave way to Bill Byrd
of the Elites, the West had taken
the lead.
Art Wilson of Cleveland sim
gled. Ware of Cleveland skied
to Dolby. An error by Sammy
Bankhead put Sammy Jethroe,
also from Cleveland, on first and
wilson was safe at second. piper"
Davis of Birmingham singled,
scoring Wilson. Tommy Grace of
Cleveland scored Jethroe with his
single and Bubber Hyde of Mem
phis batted in the third tally but
the rally was cut short when Ted
Radcliffe grounded into a double
play.
In the bottom half of the frame
the Mats went into the lead again
as Easterling singled, went to Sec
ond on Leonard's sacrifice and
scored on Twins hit.
The scoring ended in the fifth
when the East added two more
runs to their total. Kimbro sin
gled and was forced at second by
Dolby, who was safe on a fielder's
choice. Easterling singled and
both men on the bases were adj
vanced when Butler Haywood al
lowed one of the Gentry Jessup
pitches to elude him, Dolby cross
ing the plate. Leonard grounded
to Davis at second but Easterling
again scored.
The superiority of the East over
the West was demonstrated in all
departments as they hit four OPP
posing hurlers for II safe blows
while the visitors were able to
contact for only 6.
This marked the first time that
the game was played in the East

struction worker, who gets $27 6 month.
 The Russians have incentives for jobs that American industrial ex- perts never heard of. The industrial piecework system has been trans posed completely to the farm.
 For example, here's how state farm I visited pays the girl who takes care of the race horses: She gets 40 rubles 8 month for taking care of each mare and cleaning the stable. She gets 150 rubles each ! time mare gets pregnant, 50 rubles more If the mare has live and healthy colt, another 50 rubles if the colt lives for two months, and so on until each colt is five months old.
 And it's not only for jobs like talk ing care of race horses. They have such an incentive system for every job from hauling manure to experi- menting with perennial wheat. The scientist who develops new variety of grain, for instance, gets fiat royalty for every acre planted to 1t He does very well financially.

 Rations for his wife and little boy were much less. They are non- productive workers.
 The free market or commercial store ekes out the meager rations. Milk was 30 cents quart. A five cent chocolate bar was $2.50. Sugar cost SIP pound.
 Its been 50 long since we really had enough to eat,' observed my friend, wistfully"
 The average wage in the Soviet Union is less than 500 rubles a month-$40 A school teacher may get $32, a chauffeur $80 a month. The average factory worker in 1940 earned about $360 year-less than dollar 8 day. The Five Year Plan calls for 50 per cent boost-earn- ings for the average worker in 1850 of 5000 rubles, or about $480 year
 The government has kept the price of basic food rations for work CTS very low. But because of food scarcity, these items are not always available. A recent Kremlin an- nouncement said rationing could not be lifted this year, that it must continue until some time in 1947 And the government tripled ration prices the other day.
 One of the great problems o1 Russia has always been getting sui flcient food to the workers in the city.

 "It's much faster" says Nikolai modestly. And one day I earned 3766 rubles by over-fulhlling the plan" Chats more than $500 for a days work. The average coal min CTS salary is less than $40 month) |.
 The pretentious rest home at which Nikolai was staying is one of 32 rest homes in the foothills of the Caucasus mountains to which all types of workers are sent by medical commissions in the various factories or by trade union officials, sometimes because they are i'll and need a rest, sometimes as reward for achievement.
 That brings us to Communism which Soviet officials say flatly they don't have-yet. Yudin, one of the master-minds of politica. theory, says it this way: The So- viet Union has Socialism whose slogan is: From each according tc his ability-to each according to hi. work" In other words, you get paic for what you do. That's why an un' skilled worker may get SPA month while 8 scientist may get $700 month, plus car and house.

The recent retirement of Patrick J. O'Brien as president of the A. J. Taylor Company, interior decorators of Waterbury, marks the outer mar gin of a personal business career counted among the best known m the city.
 "P. J." as he is affectionateay known to many, first became asso- ciated with the firm as youth ana through the years rose to partner ship and eventually the presidency. Many of the city'S finest homes and public buildings have been decor ated and planned under his person. al supervision.
 The original firm, established by Alfred F. Taylor and his son Foster, was located on Center Street. us growth and subsequent transfer 70 l it's present spacious quarters on North Main Street was greately ad- vanced by the ability and con- scientious application od MT. O'Brien.
 During the years Walter D. Aus tin and Clarence W. Hines pur- chaesd the firm and upon the sale of MT. Hines share to MT. Austln' the latter took MT. O'Brien in as a partner. In 1924 he was named president.
 His retirement came as surprise to many. Yet his friends and asso- ciates readily express the convlc- ton he has earned years of tram quil and pleasant retirement.
 An active member of many CIVIC and fraternal organizations he re- sides with his family at 1128 West Main Street.

 Father" I asked directly, ''the people in America want to know -is there freedom of religion in Russian"
 His answer was equally direct and simple. Yes, we have freedom of religion. Anytime a group of people want to open new church, they apply to us and we help them or ganize. The government supplies lumber and materials for building new churches. The government has been very helpful"
 The scars left by war are still the major factors in the Soviet Union today The destruction of Minsk and Byelorussia is something you must see to believe.
 Eighty per cent of the buildings were blown up or burned. But the city had been liberated two years ago, and it was still mass of ruins: what about reconstruction?
 An U.NR.R.A. official answered my question with another: Just how would you go about clearing up the destruction? Remember, they don't have a singel steam shovel or bull dozer in this entire city. In one ot our shipments, jeep was on top O. car. There was no crane in tht , city to lift it of. A dozen men die : the job"
 Human muscle is thus substitut' ing for machinery in innumerablt jobs in the Soviet Union today. Women Do 80 Percent of Work
 In the Ukraine, which claimed to be the most highly mechanical agricultural area in the world be- fore the war, the most striking sight this summer was of women cutting the grain with Sickles and cradles bending over to bind the bundles by hand Not all that is due to war loss of combines and tractors, but lot of it is. If they don't have combines they swing cradles and fails. Just as in ByelorusSia, when it came time for spring planting and they had neither tractors nor horses they spaded half a million acres Some of those feet pushing the spade into the earth were bare, too or wrapped in rags.
 Women are doing 30 per cent oi the work on farms. On one farm visited, 116 of the 136 workers were women. On another farm of 18( workers, 140 were women. In Stalin. grad, the gigantic job of clearing the rubble of this blasted city is be. ing done largely by teen-aged girl shovels or bull-dozers; these girl patiently carry the stones away or wheelbarrows without wheels, gir lifting each end of the load.
 Two women were swinging cradles in a wheat field. On, was barefooted, the other wor' iu-f1tting mems shoes. Each had t' cut II acres a day to earn labor days work.

 There's only one country in the world today with enough goods and productive capacity to become Com munistic over night says Yudin. And that's the United States" Well, that's Communism-as 1t was explained to me.
