"Bricker Is Liar"
Clark Foreman
Tells Press

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 8
(NNPA)-Clark Foreman, presi-
dent of the Southern Conference
for Human Welfare, last Saturday
called Senator John W. Bricker,
Republican, of Ohio "a liar"
He hurled this insult at the Ohio
an as the result of charges Sena-
tor Bricker made in a Senate
speech last Friday urging the re-
committal to the Senate Atomic
Energy Commission of the nomi-
nation of David f. Lilienthal as
chairman Of the United States
Atomic Energy Commission pending
a thorough examination by the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation of all
five proposed members of the COM
mission.
In his speech, Mr.. Bricker said:
THE record does show that Mr..
Lilienthal was a sponsor of the
Southern Conference on Human
Welfare. That is a perfectly laud-
able name and implies a very noble
motive back Of the organization.
Zone can readily understand how
Mr.. Lilienthal would be induced to
sponsor such an organization if he
did not know about it and did not
care to look into it.
But Mr.. Lilienthal was in
very important place. He was the
head of iva. His name had been
broadcast to the country.
He should have Investigated and
should have known that this was a
Communications organization, not
interested in human welfare but in
carrying out the party line. An
able administrator in his position
would have made such an investi-
cation before permitting the use
Of his name as a sponsor"
Asked to comment on Senator
Brokers statements, DR.. Fore
man said the hearings on the
LiIienthal nomination fully COW
cred this charge.
Former Representative, Joe
Starnes, Of Alabama, who was
member of the Dies Committee on
un-American Activities, testified
that the Dies Committee had never
made a finding that the Southern
Conference was a Communication
organization, DR.. Foreman said.
"If Senator Bricker was really
concerned about either ethics or
public service" said DR.. Foreman,
"he would not himself use such I'M
scrupulous language. 1t is another
attempt to smear a good man and
a good organization with wild and
unsubstantiated charges"
DIR. Foreman said THE Southern
Conference for Human Welfare is
a completely democratic organiza-
ton, controlled by no one except
the membership Of the Conference.
1t is natural that people like Bilbo,
Rankin, Bricker and Taft would
object to any democratic organiza-
ton and try to kill it."

Ohio School Cancels
Game With Fla. School

KENT, Ohio, April 8 tNNPA)-
Kent University last Wednesday
cancelled a scheduled football game
with Rollins College at Winter
Park, Fla, because the game would
prevent three colored men on the
Kent team from making the trip.
Athletic Director Trevor J. Rees
said he had been informed by Jack
Mcdowell, athletic director Of Rol-
Inns, that neither the school nor
its team objected to playing against
colored men but because Of public
attitude in the south at would be
embarrassing for Negro players
to make the trip"
Mcdowell offered to play Kent
in Ohio and compete against its
colored players but Kent officials
the game.

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF
BY Percy villa

SPEAKING FOR MYSELF
A week has passed and the Min
neapOlis city council is still get
ting pah-lenty cheat" from the
vast majority of Minneapolitans
for their ruling-"Veterans-or-no-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has enough
cabs" (214 for a half million peo-
ple). II had something to
say about this matter I'd say that
the cheat" should continue right
up to election day.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Public should
MT condemn the whole city council
for what happened last Friday. q.
! think the people, particularly the
veterans and their families, should
remember that it was the Liberal
Aldermen who voted against more
cabs in one solid bloc, They
should remember the difference be-
tween a Liberal alderman who is
backed by the Central Labor union
and the Conservative aldermen who
are backed by the Republican par
ty (all ~ Conservatives voted for
more cabs).
don't ever want to hear any
liberal alderman or union official
do any name calling, such as accus-
ing the opposition Of being reae-
tiOnary or Of protecting the mon
Opolies.
Unless l can be convinced other
wise--the Central Labor union and
its aldermen made their biggest
blunder to date.
Since I'm speaking for myself
today ! might add that a couple of
years ago this space filler had
political ambitions of his own.
Not for any financial gains.
Mainly because l could not stand
by and see how low and corrupt
some people get when they become
officials Of our city. Being an
amateur at politics and all their
petty tricks along with methods OF
foolin' the people and spending UNI
limited amounts Of money we took
our licking still feeling that it was
better to have tried-than not to
have tried at all.
1 have discovered it's more fun
writing about 'em than being seen
with 'em.
A FEW NOTES:
Alderman Des Pratt hasn't given
up the idea Of Minneapolis and its
veterans having more cabs.
The issue is too good TO drop. T..
As the 'boys" expect to keep bat

Joe Louis Tells
His Life Story
In New Volume

The autobiography MY Lie
Story" by Joe Louis, is a book
ring enthusiasts will enjoy reading.
More than that, the part of the
general public which does not
patronize boxing shows will enjoy
this vivid account Of a young mans
successful rise from a relatively
obscure life on an Alabama farm
to Kingdoms top honor and ma
tionwide prominence.
This book tells the true account
Of how Louis started on his box
ing career and blasts many false
statements concerning his life.
Most of Louis early fstic ventures
weren't too well known to readers
in the Northwest, but they'll find
satisfaction Of their curiosity in
this book.
Louis expresses the deep friend
ship and complete confidence he
had in his trainer Jack Blackburn
and how the death Of "Chappie" las
he was afFectionately called by
Louis) started him to thinking
about quitting the fight game for
good. Joe realized that "Chappie"
wouldn't want him to quit.
A quotation from the book can
show you just what turmoil this
bewildered young man, about to
embark in Uncle Sans armed
forces and suddenly confronted
with the death Of his lifelong
friend, was going through. 1t
reads .. MANY times, during the
hours l stayed in my apartment
alone, | wondered if should re-
tire from the ring.
But something told me that
Chappie wanted me to keep right
on. That he would be with me at
all my fights. That he would shoot
the right punch at the right time
for me. That he had trained me
not to give up, but to keep on
fighting"
THAT night made up my mind
that wouldn't quit. wouldn't
let Blackburn down. Chappie had
never Let me down. was going to
do just as he would want me to do.
And try to be a great fight cham
pion."
The love Louis has for his mother
is clearly portrayed through his
ambition to give his mother all the
comforts of life she had sacrificed
for him in his early childhood.
The most vivid parts of the book
are Louis accounts of his boxing
matches, his pre-fight doubts, his
thoughts while the bouts were In
progress. A reader has the feeling
he is in the ring with Louis alb
sorbing some of the punishment
and throwing some Of the punches.
Louis is frank in his appraisal
Of the men he has met and defeated
and also Of Schmeling who handed
him his first professional defeat.
The pictorial album of Louis life
is the first Of its kind and it con-
tains quite a few photographs
rarely seen of Louis.
We highly recommend this book
because Of the message it conveys
to the public who have long won
dered about Louis the private citi-
zen as well as the fighter.
The book is on sale by this news
paper at $2,75 per copy.-Oscar H.
Newman.

Southern Operators Grant

The Interstate Commerce Com

The increases authorized will

we're similarly boosted earlier

In contrast to the unanimous
action of the Eastern line IN

divided on the question.
Thirty-seven of the Southern

FIRST MEATLESS
TUESDAY "SLlPS"
Effect Of Compliance Not
Noticeable In Ma

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans observed their first
"meatless Tuesday" yesterday but
the effect wasn't noticeable in
many restaurants and hotels.
A survey showed many S
taurateurs said they could not OBJ
serve the Presidents request,
made in a radio speech Sunday
night, because meat supplies were
purchased and menus planned
too far ahead.
Housewives were reported OBJ
serving the "meatless" request in
areas where surveys were under
taken, although some of them al
so said they were caught with
perishable meat supplies on hand.
Most restaurants, however, said
they would be ready for COM
pliance with President Truman's
request next Tuesday, and many
also promised compliance with
the request for poultryless and
eggless Thursday this week.
Meanwhile, live meat prices
slipped a little in some leading
markets, and there also was good
news for the consumer in falling
prices of wholesale butter, flour
in the New York area, and Chi
cago butter and egg futures.
