Providence Phone Company Hires Negro Girls
Providence, R. I. Special

About two years ago the Provi-
 dence Urban League, in it's rou-
 tine work of attempting to open
 up new job opportunities for Ne
 groes, sent several likely girls to
 make application for jobs as tele-
 phone operators with the New
 England Telehone and Telegram
 Company in Providence. The girls
 were given the customary prelim- mary tests, and their applications placed on file. They were, how ever, never called in to work.
 Their appearance at the person. nel office of the Telephone Com pany had its repercussions, never theless, for not long after this company officials from Providence, and from the division headquar- ters in Boston were in conference with members of the Employment Committee of the Providence Ur- ban League, then headed by An drew J. Bell, Jr., and other League persons. After several meetings decision was finally reached that since Boston was the headquarters of the NET & T Co.,, the hiring of Negro workers in clerical posi- tions should originate there. Un- der the plan, clerical workers were to be put on in Boston, to be with operators to come later.
 The first colored girls were started in Boston last year, and they have made good. So much so that the new employment policy of the NET & T Co.,, has been to Providence, and two weeks ago five colored girls in this area began work in the offices of the Telephone Company in this city.
 They are: Miss Lois Refs, of 1855 Brook St., Miss Natalie Elsey of 119 Lippitt St., Miss Antonia Britto, of A John St., Miss Joyce of 145 Rugby St., all of and Miss Deborah AL Lison, of 118 Bacon Street, Paw tucket. Misses Reis, Elsey and Britto are all recent graduates of Hope High School, while Miss Goodwin was graduated in June from Central High. Miss Allison, a graduate of Pawtucket High attended Howard Univers- ity for a year.
 The colored workers were re- cruited in the same manner that new white workers were secured; i. e., through the high schools. The general policy of the phone com pany is to hire unmarried females

news stories had already convict

 tonians. He was captured a day
 later. Chief link bewteen Taylor
 and any possible connection with
 the crime up to this time appeared
 to be the fact that he was a fugi-
 tive from North Carolina's infam- ous chain-gang system, and that
 he was colored.
 Even before the Tuesday (par- tiaD arraignment, many unusual factors had developed in the strange police handling of the brutal staying. Among them were these:
 The peculiar readiness and willingness with which at least one witness supplied the officers with information. This witness has been right on hand to lead the officers to the body of the murdered wo- man, to tell a long and detailed story of what happened, to 'iden- tify' Taylor, and to tell all about the missing radio which belonged to Mrs. Burnett and which Taylor is accused of having pawned. Even if this man is nothing in the case more than a very material wit ness, there has been no public mention of his being investigated, or even detained.
 * In spite of persistent reports that the Gypsy woman from whom Taylor claims to have bought the disputed radio visited the pawn shop with him, and had an argu- ment IN FRONT OF THE PAWN BROKER, she is not known to be in custody. Her place on Fremont St., in fact, appeared to have been closed for some days Wednesday.
 There are at least eight or nine persons who are reasonably certain to have been WITH FAY LOR for several hours during the time the crime is believed to have been committed. Up to Wednesday NOT ONE of those persons is | known to have been investigated ] y the police.

T Senator Theodore BilbO Washington

Washington
 Dear Bilbo: It pains me deeply that I have to write to you again. This pain is not due to any of the normal reasons which make one person hate to have to bother an other in the normal process of civil social intercourse; 1 hate it because each time I have to write, recognize or even FEEL Bilbo 1 have sensation of clammy dirti- ness, similar to the feeling one might get if he were forced to stretch out in the mud with a member of the porcine element in the average barnyard. But write you I must.
 Your Campaign No Surprise
 The current campaign you are running in Mississippi is no sur prise to me, Bilbo; the only ele- ment of surprise in it is how you have managed for so long to keep dormant the ingrained viciousness, the copperhead venom, the putrid detestation for Americanism, that you are only this year forced to bring out in it's full vile fury. This campaign for you, Bilbo, is an all-time high; where other men might occasionally stoop to mild approach to the fendishness you are exhibiting, for you it is a high point in a career that has never belonged anywhere except in one of those colorful, aromatic little structures which usually adorn the backwards of plunbingless Missis. sippi.
 A Call To Murder
 In your campaign this year, Bill. bo, you have openly done some things which, except for the Con. gressional immunity to which you never should have had access, vol would no doubt have been tightly locked behind bars long ago, ever in benighted Mississippi. You have called for the wanton anc deliberate commission of crimes by peaceable citizens; you have demanded that Negroes be denied an American right even at the expense of violence and terrorism This terroristic violence, Bilbo even one of your stupidity, can not help but know must be accom- , plished only by the widespread breaking of the law. Any person except a Mississippi congressman is subject to severe penalties of the law for indictment to injury and to murder. You, hiding in cowardly malice behind a silly technicality which makes a con- gressman immune to the ordinary processes of law, are able to make this years campaign a frantic appeal to a new ride of the Ku Klux Klan worse than anything that has yet darkened the bloody pages of American history-even Mississippi.
 We Are FIattered
 And yet, Bilbo, this is not what l wanted most to tell you in this

Lord Keynes, Noted Economist,
Dies at 81 After Heart Attack
Credited With Having
Large Influence on
Roosevelt Policies
BY the Assecioied Press

LONDON. April 22.-Lord Keynes,
62, international f1nancier who was
one of the principal negotiators for
Britain's proposed $4,400, ,0O0, 900 loan
from the United States, now pend
ing in Washington, died yesterday
after a heart attack at his home in
Sussex.
The noted British economist, who
has been credited by some observers
with having an important inf1ence
on President Roosevelts financial
policies, returned two weeks ago
from the international monetary
conference at Savannah, Ca, where
colleagues said he was under con-
siderable strain as the head of the
British delegation. He had been
ordered by his physician to take a
complete rest.
Lord Keynes headed the British
delegation to the Breton Woods
IN. H) monetary conference in 1914,
and was co-author of the basic plan
for an international monetary fund
and world bank.
Unorthod0x Economic Views.
He and Lord Halifax headed the
delegation which last September
sought an American grant for Brit
ain. After the British and Ameri-
gan negotiators finally agreed on the
loan.proposal, he defended it in the
House of Commons against bitter
criticism, principally from Conser-
vative members.
II feel sure" Lord Keynes told
Commons last December, that seri-
Gus injustice is being done to the
liberal purpose and intense good will
toward this country of the American
people and their ardent desire
to see this country a strong and
effective party in getting distressed
and confused world into the ways OF
peace and economic order"
He had maoe number of trips to
the United States during World War
II in connection with lease-lend and
other economic matters.
Lord Keynes first attracted atten-
ton by the unorthodoxy of his eco
nomic views. During the depression
he became "a leading advocate of
government spending to halt defla-
ton. He had visited President Roose-
velt at the White House and was
credited with an important role in
shaping New Deal spending poll
cies.
Views on Spending Revised.
During World War II, however, his
views on government spending
shifted with changing circumstances,
and he argued that the government
should seek to slow down inflation-
ary tendencies.
He was often quoted for his wit, as
