Hearing Set for Boy
In Killing Of Friend
BY the Assecioted Press

HARRISON, N. j., Sept. 10
Fourteen year old Fred Walter
Smigelski awaited arraignment to-
day on a charge of murder in the
kidnap- garroting of an 11-year-old
friend, whose battered body was
found in an abandoned warehouse.
The young Newark schoolboy
slept last night in detention room
at police headquarters after leading
police over the murder trail in a
re-enactment of the Staying of John
Preston, jr., of Kearny.
Smigelski had signed statement
earlier, Detective Capt. Arthur Ford
said, relating how he lured the
slightly-built younger boy into the
lonely building and strangled him
with belt to prove to himself that
he was mo sissy" Capt. Ford
signed a formal murder complaint
against him yesterday.
Smigelski was to be arraigned be-
fore Police Magistrate Joseph GAL

Public hearings will be held in the

grade separations at important traf-
fic bottlenecks.
The first hearing will be on the

through Barney Circle at Seven

nue. Sc. The other is on the pro-
posed grade separation at the
intersection of Constitution and

must be traversed by traffic using
the John Philip Sousa Bridge across

the intersection are attributed to the
heavy concentrations of streetcars
and buses using Barney Circle as a
terminal or transfer point.
The highway plan proposes rum

The grade separation proposed at

plan provides that Constitution ave-

streetcar lines passing under it at
the intersection.
District officials expected consider
able trouble in deciding this traffic
problem. The National Gallery of
Art and the Federal Trade Commis

which probably will be affected by
the plans.
The hearings, it was said, are to
aid preliminary study of the two
intersections.

if they imagine that these de- prived souls have no emotional reactions that are both bitter and confused?
 So when the rabid anti-Com- munist come around to Negroes trying to get them steamed up in this 'fRed" scare there is little wonder that they are re- ceived with mild indifference. Because Negroes wonder which of the two forces are really more dangerous where their welfare is concerned. They recognize so many of these peo- pie as the same individuals who have either helped to deny them full citizenship or have turned their backs on occasions where a clear-cut stand for de- mocracy would have made all the difference in the world.
 It would seem that anyone with an iota of intelligence would recognize the difficulty of the Negroes present dilem- ma. He wants democracy but not in it's present ridicul- ous form. He does not want Communism because he does not know anything about it. But he cannot be expected to rabidly take sides, when in one instance he is not allowed to enjoy the fruits of an. idea ology he knows no part of ex- cept the words; or against something that has never exert ed any adverse influence upon him.
 So their only alternative is to be suspicious of all people who give themselves over to Red" batting and insist upon standing firmly for the creation of a real democracy in this country even though they are accused of being Commu- mist for the same.

THIS AND THAT

Negroes are in a very pecu- liar and critical situation in the present Red" scare that is sweeping the nation. This is true because of the anomalous position they are in as the most oppressed racial group. So many of the reasons that are given by those who oppose Communism, for a united front in checking it's spread across the world, are completely for eign to the Negroes experi- ences.
 For instance, Secretary of State George c. Marshall made the following statement at the Big Four Conference at Mos COW in March of this year:
 ''To us a society is not free if law-abiding citizens live in fear of being denied the right to work, or deprived of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness.
 Now MT. Marshall is an in- telligent, capable, American citizen, the importance of whose role we all respect. But surely such an important figure in our national life must know that this statement is not ap- plicable to Americas everyday practices with millions of peo- pie in the population. And likewise he must know too that America s divergence between such glowing statements and reality are we'll known to peo- pie elsewhere and especially in Russia.
 But we often wonder what people like MT. Marshall ina zine is going on in the minds of citizens who are denied work opportunities, who are law abiding and whose life liberty and pursuit of happiness are in constant jeopardy. We wonder

HEALTH FOR ALL TB Germs

The tubercle bacillus is only 1/50OOth of an inch long and yet, if this tiny germ did not exist, we would not have tuber- culosis, the disease which kills nearly 5000 Americans a year, for this is the germ which causes tuberculosis. Although poverty, malnutrition, poor housing and other such condi- tions may be factors leading to the undermining of a per sons health enough to encour- age the work of the tubercle bacilli, no one gets the disease unless these tiny rod shaped germs have entered his body.
 pr. Robert Koch, a German physician and bacteriologist, discovered the tubercle bacil- Jus in 1882 and proved that it causes tuberculosis. These germs are passed from one per son to another by contact. Germs are sprayed into the air when a person with tuberculos- is coughs. Another person may then inhale the germs from the air or pick them up by using the eating utensils, towels or bed linen used by a person with tuberculosis.
 What happens when someone gets tuberculosis germs into his system? If he is strong and healthy to begin with, and if he doesn't take in too many germs, his powers of resistance may overwhelm the invaders. He may never learn that he has been host to tubercle bacilli. 1
 But suppose, for instance, that he is living in close con- tact with someone who has TB? Suppose the "bombardment" by tuberculosis germs is con tinuous? When his body can no longer resist the tuberculosis germs, active tuberculosis will develop. Doctors estimate that approximately half million Americans have active tuber- culosis. Yet only half of these know 1t and are taking the necessary steps to arrest their disease and to prevent others from catching it.
 You may wonder how anyone can have a disease like tuber- culosis without knowing it, but actually the disease in it's early stages is almost symptomless. The way tuberculosis can be found in it's early stage, before grave damage is done to the lung, IS by chest X-ray. Every one should have periodic chest X-rays and physical examina-, tions.
 In the next article, spring fever will be discussed.

HOBBY

There are many interesting things that one encounters in the search for a lobbyist. This week we have discovered Dan ny Miskin who follows the un- uual and interesting hobby of taxidermy
 A taxidermist as Danny ex- plains it, preserves the beauty of nature long after it leaves it's natural haunt and winds up on the mantle as a decora- tive piece. Danny started his hobby out of mere curiosity. He sent to Michigan and ob- tained a correspondence course in the subject and now has a certificate as a registered taxi dermist. Danny is willing to share his knowledge and is hoping to get few people in terested in his subject and to conduct an adult course at the North End Community Center.
 The course would be quite interesting to people with an interest in Biology.
 Further information may be obtained by calling at the Nortm End Community Gen. ter.
