STASSEN REBUKE OF STATE COP LIlLYWHITES
BRING NEW PROBLEM FOR BLACK AND TAN GROUP
Judges Refuse
aeeeIIver For
Chicago Defender

Chicago - In a history making
decision Wednesday in the matter
of SENGSTACKE VS.. CASHIN,
Superior Court Judge Robert E.
Grove refused to sign a Decree
proposed by attorney James B.
Cashin to appoint a Receiver for
the Chicago defender.
The judge in issuing his order
said such action (receivership) as
proposed by Cashin iftaken by the
court would have resulted in the
sale of said Chicago Defender to
persons other than said company.
He further added that Cashins
actions were contrary to his dut-
les under the said will as estab-
lished under the provisions of
said last will and testament of
Robert S. Abbott, deceased.
Judge Groves decision ends a
year o. legation before him in
which Cashin had pressed for a
Receiver in a petition in which he
charged George S. Denison, vice
president and John H. Sengstacke
President and published with mis-
management and incompetency.
In their concluding arguments
before Judge Grove, Euclid Louis
Taylor and Nat Kahn, Counsel for
the John HI. Sengstacke-Robert S.
Abbott family charged:
That Mr.. Cashin, a minority
board member who owns no stock
and has no beneficiary interest in
the paper has conspired either to
rule or ruin the publication, one
of Americas largest and oldest
newspapers, and which has been
called the 'voice of the Negro in
America"

of the party from Mike Mulvhill.
one time Vicksburg Postmaster.
Sensing the Importance of the
question of unifying the two group
and lining up with the young White
War Veterans of the state, How
ard told newsmen in Washington
that the suggestion made by can
didate Stassen was meter of
National significense and invilved
party reorganization and without
making any answer said that the
mater requires time for study.
For the past twenty years or
more, Howard has been making his
home in Washington, returning to
Mississippi only once every four
years to attend and preside over
the Republican State Convention,
where the Sac delegates to the
National convention is elected and
endorsement and instructions as
to candidates made.
Becaus of his infrequent visits
to the State, especilly during the
past welve years, many Republic
an leaders regard Howard as being
completely out Of touch with the
needs of the organization In the
State and charge him with being
almost wholly responsible for the
widespread lack of interest and
reduction in their ranks.
In many quarters the statement
of candidate Stassen on Lilly
White Republicanism in Mississ-
ippi is regarded as not only chal-
lenge to the republican party to
contest the one Party is now ready
to challenge the rule of the dem
ocratic party in the souh and is
seeking a new leadership to &C
complish this end.

WORK OF GREAT SCIENTIST

Tuesksgee Institute Ala - Nov
20 Specially Fire of an undeter-
mined origin which originated on
the ground floor in the George
Washington Carver Museum and
spread rapidly to the second floor
early Monday morning, practic-
ally destroyed the life's work of
the distinguished scientist which
occupied the main flor and DR..
Carverfs priceless painting and

by six graduates students of the
fifteen enrolled in chemistry in
the Carver Research Laboratory
under direction of DR.. Russell w.
Brwon and DR.. Clarence T. Mas
andon Director and Associate Di-
rector of the Carver Founda-
ton.
The equipment in the laboratory
was a total loss, with probably
serious damage to the records.
The fire was discovered about
1870 Monday morning, which pro-
badly accounts for the fact that
no personal injuries were sus-
tanned by members of the staff.
Fire fighting equipment from the
town of Tuskegee and the Vet
Grams hospital responded anr rem
dered valuable assistance to the
Institutes fire department, bring
ing the fire under control after
three hours of heroic and diff
cult work
President ?. ID. Patterson, who
was on the campus at the time,
described the fire as a tragic loss
to Tuskegee Institute and to hui
manity. He further stated that
every effort will b mad to sal
wage the remaining items repre-
senting the personal creative
work of DR.. Carver.
The Carver Museum was the
first housed in the agricultural
building in 1898 and was transfer
red to its location six years ago.
The present museum was dedicat-
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ford,
March II, 1941.

Dixie Trade School Stopped By Action
Of Local Veterans Administration
Action Seen As Threat To Negro Vet
Training In State

The training of all of the more
than 400 Negro Veterans, enrolled
under the CT Bill, at Dixie Trad
es School here was stopped when
the last of the group was inter
reupted, and their instruction
stopped by action of the local
Veterans Administration last
week.
The action of the Veterans Ad-
ministration last week which COM
pleted the interruption and stop
ped the training of the more
than 400 Negro Veterans enrolled
at the schol followed the inter
reuption and stopping of the
training and instruction of sew
eral smaller groups during the
past several weeks.
With the enactment of the G I
Bill by the congress of the I'M
tied States there were little if any
facilities and opportunities for
Negro veterans of the state to OBJ
tani training under the G 1 Bill
in public schools for Negro edu-
cation in the state. AS a result of
this condition private interest
began establishing Trade Schools
primarily for the training of Neg
TO Veterans under the G I Bill.
The Dixie Trades School is one
of a number of such schools, es-
tablished by private interest.
Intelligent observers view it as
being of more than ordinary sign
ificance, that recently, those pri-
vate interests attempting to es-
tablish training schols for Negro
Veterans are finding it more and
more difficult toobtain approval,
even after the expenditure of
thousands of dollars for building
and equipment and obtaining COM
peting teachers.
The Carver Trade School here
in Jackson, which has been re-
peatedly denied approval, despite
every effort of its founders to
meet state requirements is a To-
cal example of this condition.
Approval of such schols rest
with committee appointed by
the Governor and the local Vet
Grams Administration
Not only have the establishment
of new training schools for Neg
70 Veterans recently become al
most impossible, but the schools
already established before this
condition developed, is finding it
increasingly more difficult to con-
tinue operation, resulting both
from Veterans Administration de-
mands on the schools, and al
most daily harassiments OF the
students by agents OF the VeteF-
ans Administration.
Putting together a number of
statements repeatedly made to
Veterans in training at the Dixie
Trades School, and other such
schools, the conclusion is all but
inescapable that efforts are be-
ing made to sharply curtail if
not discontinue all such schools
for the training of Negro Veter-
ans under the G 1 Bill in the
state.
Among the remarks reported, as
referred too above, was that of
Veteran who stated that the
vets at Dixie Trades School were
a bunch of smart black S. o. BIS
but in three months they would
be all put out of schol; and an
other statement that $50 per mon
tn was too much for a Negro
Veterans to get for going to Sc
hool. Still another that all Negro
Veterans were going to be forced
to take ION the job training"
These are but few Statements

Reorganization Of Party

State Lowest In History
See Developing New Cop Leadership
In State

Washington, D. C. (DSN) =
Perry w. Howard, longtime Ma
tional Republican Committeeman
for the State of Mississippi and
the only Negro members of the
most important policy making bo-
dy of Republican Party in the ma
ton, has been brought face to
face with the most far reaching
and important qestion in his poll
teal career, and in the recent his
tory of the Republican Party in
Mississippi as a result of the re-
buke given to Lilly-White Repub-
licanism in Mississippi by Harold
E. Stassen, Prominent Republican
Presidential candidate, as contain
ed in statement made to George
L. Sheldon, leader of Mississippi
Lilly-White Republican few days
ago at Gulfport, Miss.
Carrying his campaign for the
Republican Presidential nomination
into the very heart of the South,
Strasen told Sheldon, hat, Il would
not accept the support of any dele
cation if there were any exclusion
of any citizen from the delegation
on the basis of race, color, or re-
ligion."
The National Republican comm
itteeman for Mississippi came face
to face with most far reaching
and importan question when in
his rebuke of Lilly While Republi-
canism in Mississippi Stassens re-
marks suggested a reorganization
of the Republican Party in the
State to include both the Lilly
While Sheldon group and the Black
and Tans, the Howard group, a.
long with a new group of young
white World War Ii veterans bas-
ed at the University of Mississip-
pi, who indicate a desire to oper-
ate the party On democratic prin-
cipal of equal participation for all,
which may indicate the emergence
of a new Leadership for the COP
in Mississippi.
At every National Republican
Convention since 1928, the Lilly
White Republican of the state have
contested the RICH of he Black and
Tan to group eonrol the Repub-
lican party of the Stae bu each
ime the National Committee has
ruled in favor of he Black and
Tan, or Howard Group, although
the Lilly Whites have repeatedly
demonstrated their ability to show
a larger number of voers at the
polls ON election day.
In always ruling agains the Lii
ly White group the National Com
mittee has been looked upon as
being afraid of the effects OF q
different course on Negro voters
in the states where Negro votes
are of great Importance to the
success of he party.
The remarks of Mr.. Strasen also
indicated different course on the
part of the committee regarding
future conest coming from Miss
issippi.
With sixteen lean years brought
on by the Roosevelt Administra-
ton, with no patronage to dis
pense and no favors to render,
the Black and Tan group has been
constantly deteriorating. Long

Many of Britains pint-SiZed au- tomobileS may grow up into the conventional proportions of Amer ican cars after the first of next year, as a result of a new plan to lower the tax rate. Since 1920 British vehicles have been assess ed according to their horsepower, which made he taxes run from $40 to S130; therefore most Bri- tons bought small cars. However, the strait jacket has now been re- moved, with the standardization of the tax rate to $40 on all new models, regardless of horsepower. More British-made automobiles may hereafter appear in America as a result of closer price competi- ton.
