be awarded to three outstanding

Financial need, scholastic and ac-

high school sincerity of desire to
attend college and moral character
will be the factors taken into con-
sideration in selecting the three
winning candidates, Maddy said.
Neither Sears nor it's foundation

On Two Fronts = The Fight For Negro Rights
Groups File Persecution
Charges With Board

SAN FRANCISCO, March 49,
A committee of labor, church and
community groups today planned
to take the issue of police persecu-
ton of Negroes to the San Fran
cisco police commission for a show
down.
Sparked by the National Negro
Congress, the committee was form
ed to take action following the
most recent incident of police dis
elimination, in which II Negroes
were arrested, illegally thrown in
Jail, and found guilty" of "vag-
rancy."
Congress Chairman Matt Craw-
ford and other Negro leaders i'm
mediately called on Chief of Police
Charles Dullea to protest the ar
rests. Although Dullea promised
to investigate the incident, the
committee is laying the whole mat
ter before the police commission,
Crawford said.
The IL Negroes were arrested
during a mass roundup by plain
clothes police on the waterfront
near Jackson and Drumm streets
on Wednesday afternoon, March S,
Crawford said.
Witnesses said that in some cases
the plain clothes men entered
stores and restaurants to select
their victims, pulling them away
from counters without even troub-
ling to show badges or other iden-
tification.
OF the seven who took the case
to the Negro Congress, six are vet
Grams, several of whom are en-
ployed in the neighborhood where
they were arrested.
One of the veterans, who has
lived in San Francisco for IS years,
except for three years in the Army,
works as a janitor at SO Jackson
street.
Another, a member of CIO Ware
houSemen Local 6, who has worked
in the same warehouse for two and
half years, was on his way to the
doctors for treatment of a serious
back injury.
Despite the fact the men were
either, employed, disabled veterans
or registered for unemployment in
surance, they were found guilty of
vagrancy in a mass trial before
Judge Matthew Brady.
The Negroes pleaded not guilty,
but the judge brushed their testi-
mony aside and gave them 80 days
suspended sentence plus a warn
ing" not to let it happen again or
they would be sent to the county
Jail.
According to witnesses, the ar
resting officers told the Judge:
"These cOlOred fellows don't
work. They just hang around and
cause trouble. They commit all
kinds of crimes so that a white
man doesn't dare walk along the
street any more"

555th Parafroop {. 0.
Slated For Overseas

Fort Bragg, North Carolina. -
Major James H. Porter, command
ing officer of the 55th Parachute
Infantry Battalion at Fort Bragg
last week relinquished command of
the unit he led throughout the war.
Major Porter has been alerted for
overseas duty and is now on leave
of absence prior to his departure.
Major Porter commanded the
555th from its activation in 1914
until he was reassigned for foreign
service. The famous Jump" unit
figured prominently in security
measures taken in mid 1915 when
the threat of Japanese Balloons
was felt on the west coast.
Major Porter makes his home in
New York City with his wife and
family. A former student of Pur-
due University, he entered the SER
vice in 1941 at Fort Devens, Mass
achusetts, where he served with
the 366th Infantry Regiment. Com
missioned in 1912 upon completion
of Officer Candidate School at Ft.
Benning, he advanced rapidly to
his present rank.

Rumors Of Negroes
Being Barred From
Races Proven False

In order to spike the rumors
being circulated that Negroes are
not welcome at the Midget Auto
Races, Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Patter-
son, proprietors of the Phoenix
Speedway at 62nd st. and E. Thom-
as Rd., are extening special invita-
tions to the Colored people of
Phoenix to come out and enjoy
themselves the same as any other
citizen.
Mrs. Patterson said, "for reasons
unknown to her, wild rumors have
been spread around that the Ne
gro population was not wanted" ."
This she said is unfounded and un-
true, and that everybody is well
come to attend the races who want
to, there is no discrimination in
seating.

Della Sigma THETA
Organizes Aides

In keeping with one of the prof.
ects which Delta usually sponsors,
Alpha Theta Chapter of Delta Sig
ma Theta Sorority has organized
a. club among high school girls of
Phoenix. This club, the Delta
Aides, is designed to acquaint high
school juniors and seniors with the
various activities that will confront
them when they go to college. The
club has proved to be quite sue
cessful and inSpirational in other
sections of the country, and there
is every reason to believe that it
may render a definite service
among high school girls in Phoenix.
In some instances, through the
vocational guidance activities OF
the club, girls have been helped
in arriving at better understand
ing of their abilities and potential
tiles. In some instances, girls, who
have marked abilities, have been
encouraged to go on to college
when they felt it financially inn
possible.
The Delta Aides of Phoenix plan
many vocational and cultural acti-
vities. The young ladies are now
planning for a tea which will be
for high school students, and they
plan to attend some of the cultural
events before the concert season is
over.
The young ladies who are the
charter members of Delta Aides in
Phoenix are: Geraldine Christie
pher, Yvonne Christopher, Fannie
Dunn, Opal Franklin, Dorothy Jean
Hall, Soretta Monroe, Betty Odum,
Doris Tease, Bertha Warren, Rob-
bic Webb, Opal Woods, and Nor

NEGRO OVERSEAS REPRESENTATION DOWN
SEVENTY PERCENT since April, 1916

Washington, D. C. = In April,
1916, 868 separate units of Negro
troops, representing all the arms
and services, served at garrisons
outside of the continental United
States. Ninety-one of these units
were detachments of irregular size,
generally comparable to, or smaller
than, platoon. The balance of TIT
units ranged in strength from COM
pany and battalion size to units of
regimental and group composition.
Reduction of the Armed Forces,
return of overseas personnel and
separation processes lowered the
number of such individual units
serving abroad to 361 on January,
1947. Of this number ninety-one
are small detachments, usually of
less than $50 men. The remaining

Many veterans do not under
stand that the life insurance now
being offered by the Veterans Ad-
miniStration is the same insurance
available to them during the war,
at the same rates, broadened to fit
the peacetime needs of former ser
vicemen.
NSLI was offered by the Govern
ment to members of the armed
forces because of the unusual haZ-
ard of war-and because it was
realized that the loss of the soldier
or sailor would mean the loss of a
present or future bread winner in
his home. Some sort of income
had to be set up to replace his
earnings if he failed to return.
Because of the low pay of a SOL

was passed in 1910 $3.50 per month
to a private) it was necessary to
furnish the insurance at low cost.
Consequently, it was decided to Of
fer temporary insurance (term
plan) because the cost ran to
around 65 cents per month per
$1,000. In that type of insurance
all the premiums paid in go to pay
for the claims of those who die in
any given year.
While term insurance is the
cheapest, it has the disadvantage
of never building up any cash or
loan value. It offers only protec-
ton. Several other plans, however,
are available to veterans Who wish
to convert to permanent forms

Question: "How long do I have
before I have to convert my term
insurance to permanent form?"
Answer: You can keep your term
insurance for eight years from the
time it was taken out, if it was
taken out, before January 1, 1916,
or five years if it was taken out on
or after that date.

DR.. Pulliam, who is also coun-

that school is being brought to the
handicapped youngsters through
the Society's home-bound teaching

Teachers spend an average OF
from three to four hours week in
the homes of the handicapped chill

pending on the age, health and
ability of the individual child.
Some of these children never
have attended schools, while others,
suffering from durable. handicaps,
are only temporarily out of school
It is to this latter group that the
home-bound teaching program is a
special boon, for in most cases the

"In addition to this campaign,
our aim is to conduct a struggle
against discrimination of Negroes
and other minority groups in all
industries throughout Los Angeles
county," the statement said.
Throughout city and county civil
service, Negroes are given the
heaviest, dirtiest, most onerous

to this problem.
GAS the congress approaches the

organizations in this community,
which is the best guarantee of solv-

In city civil service, even in de-
partments where majority of en-
ployes are Negroes, there are no
Negro foremen, the congress said.
At the county general hospital,
laundry of patients with contagious
diseases are handled exclusively by
Negroes, the congress said.
''It is also reported that there

launched on the basis of a survey
conducted by the congress, which
found ga continuous decrease i'm

are rapidly being cleaned out of
