lynching of a Negro near Pickens

Other suspects were reported

Solicitor Robert P. AShmore kept

. they dealt with the lynching of 25-
year-old Willie Earle.
Earle's body, slashed and blasted

Mrs. Paul Robson
Flags Democracy In
America Al NpHS

Eleven hundred people heard
Mrs. Paul Robson, wife of the fa-
nous baSso singer, who appeared
on Phoenix Town Hall program at
North Phoenix High School audi
torium, last Monday night.
The audience was spell bound
during the As minutes of Mrs.
Robeson's 14-page prepared address
on the NEGRO in The Worlds Pat
tern"
Mrs. Robeson's extensive travel
throughout Europe and Africa has
made her one of the most outstand-
ing woman lecturers in the coun-
try.
In explaining the Negro in the
world pattern she said, "The Negro
in America is fightign for his nor
NAL place, the rights of citizen
and when he obtains this he will
be willing to sit down and be
quiet"
Many in the audience were irked
when she declared that Russia is
more democratic than the United
0LCCO0 anu QOuC0 t1Io( SlfC 1IOL
think the Phoenix segregated
method of education democratic.
She backed up her statements with
conditions she found while living
two years in Russia.
Democracy is being preached
but not practiced in America, she
said. Our newspaper headlines show
the rest of the world that we do
not practice democracy, yet we
criticize other nations for not al
lowing freedom, she said.
When asked by the audience if
she believed in mixed marriages
Mrs. Robson said the white
peoples reason for segregation is
because they are afraid their
daughters might marry colored
men, but, she reminded them that
if their daughters were not brought
up right, they might brign home
anything"
Heaven forbid" she smiled, "my
marrying again." but if I had to,
and you white folks could send me
a man as good as the one I have, I
might consider it." This brought
an uproar of laughter from the
audience.

Pacific Coast EIks
Visit City To Make
Plans For Convention

Last Sunday an executive COM
mittee of Pacific States Association
OF Elks met with local commit
tee at the Elks home to round out
plans for Pacific States Association
Convention which is to convene in
Phoenix from May % to June 1.
The visiting delegation consist
ed of J. B. Strathers, president of
the association; Preston Green, Sec
retary; w. A. Payne, director of ed
ucation; Morgan Maxwell, state di-
rector of education of Arizona,
from Tucson and other members
of the presidents cabinet from Call
iforn.a.
Most important problem con-
fronting the committee was the
acute housing shortage here, with
the predicament experienced last
year in Stockton at the convention
held there still fresh in their minds,
where delegates had to sleep in
thir cars; they questioned whether
it would happen here. The visitors
were quite relieved when the local
committee, headed by Wade Ham
mond, chairman of committee on
arrangements, and the exalted
ruler, Chas. N. Patterson, assured
them. that every effort would be
made to adequately house the 500
delegates, expected here for the
convention.

Superintendent Of
All Negro Methodist
Work Visits Phoenix

DR.. Edgar Love, superintendent
of all Negro Methodist Work in
the United States, stopped in Phoe-
nix for a few days to visit Rev.
Allen Johnson, pastor and members
of Wesley Methodist Church, and
to inspect the building site where
the new church will be erected.
The memberS and friends extend
ed the doctor "a very cordial well
come last Tuesday at the church
where a banquet was given in
his honor.
Mr.. Wade Hammond, who pre-
ceded the main speaker, DR.. Love,
with few remarks, stressed the
duty of churches in this new and
growing community. A musical in
terlude participated in: piano Sc
lection by Mrs. D. F. Benson, and
vocal solos by Mrs. O'Neal Gross
and Mr.. Dan Jackson.
DR.. Love, in his address discussed
the Christian obligation of the
Church towards migrants that have
flooded the west in search of a bet
ter way of life,. said it is the
Church's responsibility to help re-
habilitate these people in their new
surroundings, for most of them are
here to stay and will not return to
their former home.
DR.. Love also commended Rev.
and Mrs. Johnson for the great
work that has been started here,
realizing, he said, that it was a
great sacrifice on their part to
choose Phoenix when there were
much more desirable places they
could have had.
DR.. Love left yesterday with the
promise he would return next year
with his wife with the intentions
of spending some time here in this
valley.

Industrial Council
Prevents Adjustment
OF Culinary Dispute

1t seems plainly apparent that
negotiations between the Restau-
rant Association and Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bar
tenders Local No. 631, is being SER
lously retarded by actions of the
Phoenix Industrial Council. So
called labor relations group main
tanned by certain business firms.
1or the sole purpose, many people
believe, of agitating trouble be-
tween all employers and labor
unions. Certainly, with good labor
relations in the city, there would
be no need for such an organiza-
ton.
1t is reliably reported that at the
meeting between the restaurant on
orators and the Union on Tuesday.
whenever an operator seems some
what inclined to concede a point,
a member of the Council would
take him outside and change his
mind. -
1t is undoubtedly the plan of this
Council to spearhead an open shop
drive in the city of Phoenix and
have selected the catering indus
try as the most vulnerable group
to start with. Every action of this
Council clearly indicates that is
the move.
Officers of the Council are be-
lleved to be making stringent eff
forts to keep the operators beliger-
ent and insist that they keep after
their employees to dump" the
Union.
Secretary D. A. Baldwin is sign
ing individual contracts and saws
that every operator who refuses to
go along on Union contract will

Boys Club To Hold
Billiard Tournament

That dream of every boys life
an all-expenses paid trip to the
National Capital, is going to come
true for fourteen lucky lads this
spring.
AS a fitting climax to National
Boys Club Week, seven boys in
each of two age divisions who
qualify as regional winners in the
local pocket billiard tournaments
of the Boys Clubs of America,
March l to Is, will win the trips.
In addition, they will gain the
right to compete in the boys Clubs
Of America championship title
event known as the Charles c. Pet
erson National Pocket Billiard
Tournament.
Named for the president of the
Billiard Association Of America,
which is assisting in the direction
of the tourney, the tile event will
be held April IA, IS, and 16 in the
{ national capital. The deciding
matches will be held April 16 in
the famed Federal Room of Wash
ington's Statler Hotel.
Approximately $4,000 boys out of
! a total Boys Club membership of
over a quarter of a million, are
expected to compete. The lads will
be divided into two age divisions.
The younger boys will be composed
of those eight years and over who
have not reached their fifteenth
birthday; and the older boys will
be aged fifteen to twenty, inclu-
Sive.
Local tournaments will be held
in the 275 clubs all over the coun-
try on key-Shot basis, with the
winners, in each of the seven dis
trictS into which the organization
has been divided, automatically
qualifying for the national compe-
,tition in Washington.
In addition to seeing Congress in
session, pilgrimages to Mt. Vernon
and the resting place of the father
of their country, each of the four
teen lucky lads will receive what
they will probably prize as highly
a sanything,. genuine Willie Hoppe
cues, especially designed to the
style of that famous master of the
worries.
Last years winners in the COM
petition, the finals of which were
held in New York City, were Oscar
Williams of New York, winner in
the senior boys division; John
Quintanta of Santa Fe, New Mexi-
co, runnerup; Donald Gratber OF
Bedford, Indiana, winner in the
punior group; and Louis Roybal of
Santa Fe, runner up.

Nationally known as a pn1lanthro-
pist and financier, Mr.. Gibson
served with distinction overseas as
Red Cross Commissioner in West
ern Europe and Great Britain for
three years from 1912 to 1945.
Pointing out the continuing need
for Red Cross services to veterans
and servicemen, Mr.. O'Connor said:
"Never in time of peace has the
American Red Cross been called
upon to render such extensive SER
vices to the military forces at
home and abroad and to veterans
as are now required.
Approximately IS percent of
Red Cross funds are still spent in
war-related services at home and
overseas. We still have more than
1900 workers serving outside of
the United States. AS our work in
army and navy hospitals and other
installations gradually decreases
during the next few years work
with veterans and their families
will increase"
The 1947 goal of $50, 100000 was
set after a careful survey which
pared the 1914 budget to the
minimum consistent with >responsi-
bilities of the organization.
At the present time, the chair
man emphasized, more than 10000
Home Service workers are en-
ployed in chapters, supplemented
by $4,000 volunteers in this service
alone. These workers are serving
men in uniform and veterans and
their families.
Added to this, Mr.. O'Connor
Arizona sun., 1947-02-28

pointed out, is the work of the
Red Cross in supplying warm
clothing and milk for children and
medicines for the sick in battle
SCARED areas, and, at home, the
provision of surplus blood plasma
for civilians, and the courses in
home nursing, nutrition, first aid,
water safety, and accident preven-
ton.
The 1947 fund campaign will
continue through March, pro-
claimed by President Truman as
Red Cross Month. Red Cross Sab
bath and Sunday were approved
for Saturday, February %, and
Sunday, February %, by leaders
of the Catholic, Jewish and Pro-
testant faiths.
